Diniece and I are racing to make buses fast and reliable, so we talked about how we're cutting bus commutes by 6 minutes while racing in MarioKart.
Laser Dance is a very good game to introduce people to mixed reality on Quest 3. Not captured, my brother and brother-in-law swearing at each other over earning the best times 😅

🗨 "I think we should be talking about life expectancy, education, health, a whole range of metrics" @zackpolanski.bsky.social on why we need to move beyond GDP growth as the main measure of how well our society is doing.
The upcoming launch of Steam Frame is actually making me more and more anxious. A lot of our users want to use it with @resonite.com and we regularly keep getting questions about it, but we still haven't heard about a dev-kit. I'd love for us to support it day 1, but we might not.

Sixth Laser Dance playtest in a hotel further down Shōdoshima. #BitSummit #BitSummitPunch @laserdancegame.bsky.social
Thomas Van Bouwel@tovanbo.bsky.social · 3mo agoFifth @laserdancegame.bsky.social playtest in a Japanese hotel, this time in Shōdoshima. This hotel had a big empty event space, so I had to try playing there. Bigger spaces definitely make for a bigger challenge!😅
This may have been by far the best bite of food I've had in Japan. If you're ever in Shōdoshima, don't skip the olive fed miso marinated beef
