my body does not like waking up at 3am 2 days in a row and strapping two screens to my face for extended periods. i probably should have taken tomorrow off work like i would for a regular con, rather than just friday - i think i already added the day after for the june one, but will double check that tomorrow
-
it was great seeing friends when i could, but schedules and timezones meant that was less often than i would like. hoping there are less schedule conflicts with a larger event - or in the case of the closing ceremonies, that it's actually possible to get into the instance where more friends were
-
the world was a cool place to vibe in, but i do worry that all i brought to a lot of conversations was vibes, i listen, i struggle to interject, and then the conversation moves on
(and the combo of avatar being more flashy than I really intended plus introversion isn't always a great combo)
addendum:
- i am trying to have an afternoon nap because i wasnโt able to get back to sleep earlier and iโm getting hit pretty hard by the tetris effect
still seeing glowing trees, pools and caves and simulated furries around me when i close my eyes
a friend made a comparison while watching the fireworks show between the design of the luma world, and the world design of avatar (blue version) - and suddenly i remember those news articles about people seeing the film 20+ times just because of the world
and i at least get that a little more now
even if presence changes a lot - the little presence i have, with basic headset and hands tracking as I continue to make unintentional hand gestures because I dared rest my IRL thumb on the analogue stick
- I already have an outfit idea for next con? and four months to tweak, rather than the one month I ended up with due to being too ill through most of january
part of journalling about today's experience is finding out that we had fucked up dreams last feb 19th as well, though there we at least had an excuse
setting a reminder for feb 18th 2025 to not do anything out of the ordinary
