I have to admit, I was super tired and had a couple of ales which carbo-wired me, so I feel like I came off as a totally spastic geek. I could feel myself collapse after this was over and the camera turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"VR Verdict Podcast Live\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IUNeLGYHq38?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next one was neat because it was filmed *IN* VR! I was fortunate because this was my 3rd or 4th time in Spatial Ape and right up until this interview, I&#8217;d crash or overheat my Quest and have massive stuttering issues. Having got a new 5ghz router (hopefully) put these issues to rest, the interview went smoothly and because I was wearing a HMD,  I wasn&#8217;t imbibing as much as the other interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"256\" src=\"http:\/\/fletcherstudios.net\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/500sprite.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fletcherstudios.net\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/500sprite.png 512w, https:\/\/www.fletcherstudios.net\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/500sprite-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption>Wish these were real.

By far one of my faves, cause I got paid for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, a chat with 2 local fellas about being a stay at home dad. I did talk about the game a bit, but I also got to talk about things that affect and shape how my game was brought about, how its shaped and where it might be going. Its a podcast by two local dads, and it really touched me with a sense of community:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>plus I got to relay the harrowing tale of my 2nd child&#8217;s birth, right on the steps to the kitchen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-spotify wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Episode Four - The One Where You Give Birth To A Child\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/0CXux1uwh7Bi8F9oTobHBh?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If I ever get down about this past year &#8211; I shuold remind myself I&#8217;ve been published in a magazine, a book, more interviews than I can remember and in VR.
