OUR LEAD PROGRAMMER ANDI WAS INTERVIEWED ON A "POD CAST" THIS WEEK. YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT, APPARENTLY USING SOME KIND OF POD.
THE MERMAID HEAVY INDUSTRIES SOCIAL MEDIA STAFF IS SURPRISED AND PLEASED TO LEARN THAT HUMANS NOW HAVE ACCESS TO POD TECHNOLOGY https://player.fm/series/setting-the-record-queer/ep-22-vr-game-development-with-andi-mcclure
EVERYONE AT THE OFFICE IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE MOVIE

Interesting graphics library bug. This is supposed to be a simple 7x7 grid with a red triangle on top. (If the red triangle is removed, the grid draws normally without the strange additional vaporwave animation.)
PROJECT STATUS: THIS IMAGE IS THE ONLY THING THAT APPEARS, AND IT APPEARS ONLY IN THE LEFT EYE, AND ONLY EVERY OTHER FRAME. THIS ADMITTEDLY REPRESENTS SOME DEVIATION FROM THE PRODUCT SPEC

Hey, would you happen to be in TORONTO? If you come by the Toronto Media Arts Centre at 32 Lisgar Street TOMORROW (FRIDAY) or SATURDAY between 10 AM and 7 PM, you can try out free the demo for the game I've been working on for @MermaidVR as part of the https://damage.camp/ event! It is cool
UPDATE: AFTER SOME REFLECTION ON THE WORDING OF THE ERROR MESSAGE, REALIZING IT SEEMS TO BE SAYING NOT THAT VR IS ABSENT FROM THE PROGRAM, BUT RATHER THAT VR— AS A CONCEPT— DOES NOT EXIST. TROUBLING IMPLICATIONS FOR OUR BUSINESS PLAN
CURRENT BUG: FORGOT TO ADD THE VR. A CLASSIC "GOTCHA"
THE DEVELOPER SPENT ALL TODAY IMPLEMENTING A SHADER FOR A VISUAL EFFECT AND WHEN IT WAS DONE IT TURNED OUT TO LOOK EXTREMELY BORING SO IN A FIT OF PIQUE SHE ADDED ONE ROUND() CALL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LOOKED AWESOME
