Claude Opus 4.7 is amazing, my favorite thing is how often it has told me I was wrong when I was pretty confident I was right, and turns out it was right. That marks the start of an important turning point.
Anthropic is moving fast - www.anthropic.com/news/claude-... plus the new Claude Desktop. Big changes
I don't want to admit the development cost to make hands in Stellar Cafe that both matched your exact size of your hands and were textured. Almost every hand tracked thing is all white or ghost like. Why doesn't a framework to do that exist.
That's what makes building a framework for this so tough. Meta Interaction SDK is the closest, but it is still feels not close enough. At least there is a starting point. There is so much complexity.
100% - part of the reason I pushed for tomato presence for so long. The big problem became hand tracking where you need to see them. As you said good VR hands are great but it explodes developer time. A solid framework to handle this across game types, visual design, and platforms is so needed
And like... don't get me wrong, I like GOOD VR hands. The issue is that ACTUALLY GOOD VR hands are much more expensive to execute than people realize, and that cost goes up linearly with the number of objects and interactions in a game.
The new Claude Code desktop app is a huge improvement. The speed of software is increasing.

Splashdown!
Welcome home, Integrity.
Good chutes!!
Voice communication!

Happy 10 Year Workiversary to my job-lovin’ robot child 😭💖✨
Still absolutely wild to me the reception & impact our game had and STILL has - even wilder that it was 10 whole ass years ago!!
Thanks for playing our VR shenanigans. Our studio wouldn’t be what is today without all the support. 💖

I love space
"we will always choose Earth, we will always choose each other"

Almost time! Job Simulator 10 year anniversary Twitch stream! twitch.tv/owlchemylabs
Job Simulator is now 10 years old!
To celebrate this milestone @buddingmonkey.bsky.social and I are doing a 10 year anniversary stream on Twitch!
Join us at 11am CT today for a fireside chat on the creation and development of Job Simulator and its impact on XR twitch.tv/owlchemylabs
This is all for tomorrow, April 6. (Sorry, should have specified in the post!)
I highly recommend putting this NASA #Artemis II mission livestream on and just leaving it playing as you go about your weekend. Live views of the spacecraft, occasional visualizations of the current config, views of the control room, space-ground radio audio. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...

This is likely my favorite podcast I’ve ever recorded
Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA)
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning.
@exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int
“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea
The Artemis II astronauts will ignite the Orion capsule’s main engine to leave Earth’s orbit for a four-day journey to the moon.
This risky maneuver, approved by NASA, will put the astronauts on a path that humans haven’t traveled in half a century.
This is what social media is meant to be about.
