Hello lovelies,
Holy cow! I heard all of these were smaller artists, and some have consistently been up for voting. It's great to see the community come together and make something happen.
I'm really looking forward to reviewing one of these. Listen to the playlist below, then cast...
Hi y'all,
Slight shift in plans for tomorrow's live chat. I'd like to switch to a conversational AMA instead of Beat Saber, as Kirk hasn't been feeling so well. It takes a lot of time to prepare the Beat Saber session (which Kirk does) and I'd like to support him in taking it easy. 2024-06-21 04:31:39 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello dear patrons,
I'll be starting the live patron chat in a little over half an hour (6:00PM Pacific Time). The topic will be Debrief on Vocal Foundation Symposium (plus a little on the NY trip).
With your blessing, I'd like to keep the chat to half an hour tonight. We've been pr...

Reminder to all in the NY area today that we’ll be doing an informal meet at Levain Bakery (https://maps.app.goo.gl/aT54qez1uami1QjP7?g_st=ic) to get coffee/tea + cookies before taking a stroll in Central...

Tomorrow's TCV premiere will go down in history.
We have never worked so hard on a video, nor released such a professionally refined documentary. While this is already a lot, it wouldn't be possible without the initial work that went into planning and doing the research study.

Here's the screen recording from tonight's live Beat Saber chat. I apologize for the way it was screen recorded. I should have asked everyone to turn their cameras off so Teams would highlight the stream and my webcam during the chat, which would have made this look a bit b...

We shifted our Beat Saber session from two weeks ago to today as we were having technical difficulties, and a slight panic attack. Less stress today (though it's still present) and we're off to the races!
We're having issues getting the new headset all set up, and I hope t...

Sorry for sending this note out so late. We had a business meeting scheduled during live chat time, and I wasn't going to be here at the start to run the game - so I've been waiting to see what's happened with my sickness. Down with it!
Well, I'm canceling that me...

I'm going to have to beg for your forgiveness and understanding.
The stress levels have shot through the roof in the last few days and part of the big stress has been technical problems configuring the new Beat Saber setup. We'll have a tech helper arrive later t...
