My Twitter archive just finished and I'm finally deactivated! End of an era but happy to be here! A bit of an intro for all my new followers: Hi I'm Robert! I worked on a bunch of social VR things, made an award winning puzzle game for Apple Vision Pro, and now I do game tooling for non-VR stuff!

I've been a big fan of VR for a long time, I worked at AltSpaceVR, then Mozilla on Hubs, and then @matrix.org on ThirdRoom. Three similar social VR platforms with different approaches, all which ultimately "failed" but each had some very big wins as well. I'm happy that 2 of the 3 are open source!

I'm pretty burnt out on VR stuff now though. All my headsets are sitting in a box collecting dust. Yeah... even the $3500 Vision Pro. I love making games still though so I'm really excited to be working at Bezi on tools for making games!

I spend a lot of my time thinking about privacy in technology, public transportation (big train guy), and most recently responsible use of AI. I love decentralization as in bsky and Matrix not as in crypto and I'm stoked to be on a platform that feels as good as Twitter in its prime!

you'd best love crypto you're posting on it :P
