Alright, It's the top of the hour.
So we're gonna go ahead and get started and get these questions answered.
So we've got some questions queued up, so I'll go through those first.
If you wanna ask question, make sure that you ask it in the thread.
I don't read them anywhere else.
Um, you've had enough, uh, posts to know where to go.
Let me just ping the role, actually, as well I forgot to do that. Office of
office is we
start in
if it
is,
uh, OK, prime time questions, Right. So, uh, Shadow
X says, how does the video text provider get the title of the video?
Is it provided by YouTube? D LP. It is provided by YouTube. D. LP. Yes.
Um,
Ozzy says is there anything we can do to help with the general team? Morale.
This is gonna be a weird one,
to kind of, like, navigate around. But patience and also
remembering that, like anything
you ask us, has like an influence on that.
So do continue making github
requests. Do continue making, you know, bug reports, et cetera.
But just, like, remember
that,
um,
anytime you interact with us, we're very tired and probably busy.
So keep it to
github
The thing that I like about, um uh, github
or any? Just like any part, it doesn't have to be github
is that, uh it removes a lot of the sort of personal nature and replaces that with, um,
like, a lot of professionalism because it's like, Hey,
you've got to follow this format.
All the comments that you make on this post are public and readable by everyone.
Uh, so it's just a lot easier to talk about things there when you do that.
So keep an eye on those, uh, suitable, um, contact points as well.
We really need that. Like, I I could do with one or two less. Um,
I got banned and need help. Uh, D MS It's like, Hey, you got banned.
Moderation dot nears resonate.com. I can't I.
I can't help you
in my D MS
for for many different reasons. Uh, one of them being data privacy. But, you know,
wherever
we're asking you to put stuff, put it there.
I also have to remember that, uh, we are an early access in beta product.
So if you're frustrated, that stuff doesn't work.
It's an early access in beta product, right?
We're working as hard as we can on many different things.
I see a lot of people that are like,
Well, you're working on that. And you didn't work on my bug.
It's like, cos we have to pick one to work on.
If we if we had to, like, you know,
pull the entire audience to figure out what we should work on next,
We'd never get anything done.
Um, so, you know, we we just have to do it in some order.
So we're doing it in some order, and there we go.
Um, Lex asks, Do you enjoy using Resonate? I don't know.
And do you enjoy working in reson? I actually don't know.
I stopped knowing a long time ago.
Uh, I think that, um,
still using it and still being interested in
it signifies that probably to some extent,
Yes.
Uh, but it's been a couple of months of just sort of grinding. So,
uh,
it
it's it's crazy like that. I don't I don't know. Uh, Sha
says if you focus your attention on a specific area of resonant development, um,
what would it be uh, I So there are two types of performance.
I don't know if these are, like, you know, formally defined or like you know,
some textbook is gonna tell you that, like, agrees with me or whatever,
but like I have in my eye, uh, in my eyes or my opinion, two parts of performance,
right.
So there's performance in terms of FPs. Right?
So how many FPs do you have or, you know, what's the the clock speed of the world?
That's usually based on sort of how much proto
Fox is in there. How many people are in there? Um, how many components are in there?
But then there's sort of what I call, um, frustration performance, which is where,
Like, you do an action and the action is just randomly slow.
And it it's like M maybe password reset takes, like, five minutes. Why?
Um,
here's a good example. Why, when I sign up sorry.
When I sign to resonate, to check on another account that is not my main account.
And then click log out. Does it go syncing one item? I did nothing.
I didn't change my home world. I didn't change my settings.
I didn't change anything about my account. But it still says S
you one item like Why? Like that's frustration performance. So I don't know.
There's probably a word for it, but, like friction, maybe.
But it's just like, Why is it doing that? I don't understand.
Um, I wanted to look into that like the first step.
Of course, would be like, What is it sinking and why does it think it needs to sync that
and then seeing if we can do anything to prove there?
It's like I literally I've changed nothing.
Why are you thinking I don't understand?
Stop it. Stop singing. I've tried to log out, Uh,
Tonique
asks. Uh, will there be ways to disable things like anti
Ali
or super high res textures in the future? Yep.
Um, that will be part of the graphical settings work,
which will come after the settings work.
So we're currently working on settings so that we can have a
lot more settings and a lot more defined way of handling settings,
et cetera.
When we have those,
we'll then be able to sort of look into adding additional settings there.
Um, when it comes to, uh, high rose textures.
We can in some cases, do texture descaling.
So, you know, make textures smaller on the on the cloud on your behalf.
But if you want a really good world, um, you'll need to do that manually,
and then we'll need to provide settings or configuration or
something for you to so that you can be like,
All right, I know that your automatic processing is meant to be these knees.
But if they want lower textures,
we want you to use this image rather than descaling ours automatically.
So we gotta do, like stuff like that.
Uh,
due,
I think, uh, is planned to change the, uh, flux picker menu so that all
noes give themselves, uh, instead of three or four menus. Yeah. Yeah,
but like, uh, the component selector, which is also the the the pro
flux
node picker,
is due for an overhaul to make it just better.
And all of those things will be covered there, like pro
flux really is
finished right now. Um, so anything that is weird or or or or or problematic,
it just isn't finished. Just
we'll get there when we get there. With that, I don't see any more questions.
So I will, uh, I'll check a couple of things,
make sure that there are no additional questions.
And then I will, uh, take a look around.
Um, epic,
Easton says.
Are you saying the graphic settings won't come
with the new settings we work at launch?
It's very important that
you you think about the scope of what we're talking about sometimes.
So I see a lot of people say, like,
you know, when this feature comes out, we'll have this and, like those two things,
are just completely unrelated.
So it might be like
when we get physics, we'll instantly have. I don't know
oranges for everyone. We'll we'll give everyone an orange.
It will just appear at your doorstep like that's not the case.
You need to make sure that you're, uh, examining those assumptions,
because
having a new setting system
is different from adding those settings,
like the whole setting system is designed to enable us to make those other settings.
So there'll be two parts to that be like, Hey,
the setting system's working and now we're adding specific settings.
How closely those two are intertwined remains to be seen. It's like that
some of the big ticket settings items that you guys are asking for will be
added as part of that actual settings rework at the launch of the settings rework.
But some might come a week or a month after that.
Settings rework The whole point of the settings rework is
to enable us to make those changes and not necessarily
allow us to make those settings exist.
Uh,
word it says, uh,
is there ever a plan to separate physics steps from the framework of the
local player Bruno not to get floaty when looking at I res mirror?
Uh, mirrors I,
I
I don't think that's the cause of your problem there.
Um, when it comes to high res mirrors, if you think it's high res mirrors,
please go ahead and submit a bug report.
Maybe some information there to help me understand why you think that's the case.
Um, in a lot of cases, though,
yeah, we wanna separate more stuff. We wanna, um, multi thread more stuff.
Um, there's also a, um, a post somewhere on the github
about, um,
using a sort of process based architecture similar to the way chrome does it.
So like chrome.
Um, certain tabs are in different
processes on your on your machine.
And, uh, doing that for worlds would also get cool stuff.
Yeah, There we go. Um, rework engine to be process based architecture.
So it might be like, Hey, your home world is on one EXE And then, like,
the world that you're visiting is on another EXE and that lets us do, like, even more.
Um, cool stuff. That's that question.
Uh, tonic
says, is there a better way to use, uh, to act? Just the use menu and index.
We'll follow up once they've clarified what that is.
They do clarify what they mean by that in a little bit later.
Um, M dash says, Can I ask how high a priority moving? Uh, vary
Folders. Items in the road map. Uh, it it is not on our radar right now.
We know that we need to do it,
but it's not planned for any particular time or or place or priority, right?
It's just it's on the list.
It's on the list.
Um, we don't have any plans to do that
immediately. Like so. I.
I wouldn't expect to that at all recently If that changes,
we'll let you know in various places.
But right now, our two,
priorities can be seen in the Announcements channel
and also a little bit in Dev Lock.
They are the setting system rework and the new IK.
Uh, Tonique says, uh, that they are clarifying, um,
about the fact that it's the radio menu, that it's a bit
C.
What do you find cumbersome about the radio menu,
like the the the radio context menus they use to be cumbersome?
I agree.
But now they're like, quite quite good like, Well, what's what's the problem?
Elaborate on what the problem is?
Uh, David Heiser says I'm a 3D stereo videographer.
Wow, that's a kind of rare thing to find.
Hey, welcome.
Some of my videos are in one by one square format.
I try to view them resonate, but they don't work right. It's 69 required.
I don't know. I'll have to take a look.
Uh, if you can't get that stereographic video working, make sure to open up a github,
um,
quest to take a look at that format.
Uh, it's probably
I don't wanna say easy, because then people are like, Why haven't you done it in,
like, five seconds?
I It's probably not that difficult to to, um, support that format if we don't.
But there are also some settings on the
video texture provider that might help with that.
I'm not entirely sure I haven't done a lot with, uh, stereo videos.
Mostly, cos I don't have, like, a library of stereo videos to to, like, have a look,
um, at
I know that there's an issue about, um uh, the video textures or something.
There's some issue open right now about video textures.
I don't I don't remember what it is, but it might be related to that. I can't remember.
It's some
I don't know. I don't remember.
I saw the like, the words video and, like, issue. They're in my head.
Uh, which means I read something at some point
about that,
uh, midnight, uh, comma redley comma, Jack, comma, darky.
Nice collection of names there.
Uh, do you ever want to make the game quest?
I'll assume that you mean quest compatible.
Um, quest is also the, uh, a brand of, um, like nutrition bars.
You know, like people who are, um, either dieting or going to the gym a lot,
but eat quest protein bars, so make sure you specify the holes in it.
So I assume, though, that you mean quest compatible.
We do want to have a, uh, a quest compatible version.
Um, we're unsure what that form that I'll take right now.
There's a lot of sort of optimisations that we need to
do in the engine to make it work on lower,
um, hardware, um, devices, devices with lower hardware, um, specifications.
Um, additionally, there is the sort of complexity of
will it end up being on, um, the Meta Quest store.
Um, because then it's on the meta Quest store. We are, um, susceptible to their
policies and their rules, et cetera, which I don't think we've even read yet.
So, you know, maybe it says there's no colour yellow allowed,
and
then we're kind of screwed because we use a lot of yellow.
So I'd have to take a look at those,
uh, but the bigger blocker there is, like, performance.
Uh, you can use the new steam, um,
steam VR link application on quest to get a much better experience.
I've heard, um,
using a quest these days, I haven't tried that yet,
but I will try that out when I get a chance to,
um I'm hopeful that that might fix some of the issues
I had with the other alternatives such as virtual desktop.
Uh, shy
has provided some information on physics. Um,
uh, she says time stepping for the physics system has moved out.
So if the user has a drastic change in frame weight,
it doesn't change as rapidly as the frame weight does.
Uh,
causing physical behaviour to be inconsistent in the
character control and moving slower than you should.
Oh,
OK. Yeah. So,
uh, they would just have to either separate that out or make mirrors not lag you out.
Um, I think there's
like, there's some sort of performance issue involving mirrors.
We need to, like performance a lot. We just need to look at,
uh, app
says, uh, people,
uh, criticise chrome for eating out. Uh, a lot of ra M.
If it's process based architecture, would that the same apply for resonate?
No. Believe it or not, the way that Chrome's doing it is
just because it's chrome.
Um,
lots of applications on your computer also do that processor based thing.
If you go to task manager, for example, right now, I can take a look.
Um and
I mean, Chrome's taking up the vast majority of it,
but you'll see discords also doing it.
Uh, discord takes up a lot of ra M as well, though. Cos discord is basically chrome
story.
Um, but you'll see things like, Hey, my Google drive has,
like five processes running in it.
Um,
MS edge Web view. Apparently,
I've already got some sort of like Microsoft utility open that's using edge.
Let me see what it's trying to do something to do with visual studio. Yep. Also,
uh, run,
type broker, whatever that is.
It's part of Windows uses multiple processes like a lot of applications,
and a lot of systems use multiple processes.
Spotify is using multiple processes. Um,
it's also chrome,
but, you know,
uh, ST Web helpers using that, uh, looks like that's
also some variety of chrome. Uh, you know, like
it's not
the process based architecture doesn't have to be laggy and Ra M increasing.
Just making sure I haven't missed any questions. Scrolling down to
Tonique who says it's easy to to accidentally rotate,
move objects when trying to delete or edit object properties.
I
agree with duplicate.
I don't agree with it. Object properties.
Um, there are There is, like the duplicator tip that might help. It's in the MI
folder. I think so. Go to, like, resonate tools. Mis
there's the duplicator tip. It might be in the main one. I don't honestly remember,
uh, that one is a little bit easier to duplicate stuff about moving it.
Uh, you could always uh oh, no. Cos I don't do that.
Yeah, like duplicating stuff. I would agree.
Yeah, you have to, like, grab it to duplicate it.
And then once you're grabbing it to duplicate it, it would it would probably move.
So I agree with duplication. I do not agree with, um,
object properties, though, because that you'd use the Dev tool tip.
And that doesn't involve grabbing the object. So should be fine.
Shadow Panther has provided a link to the stereo or 3D video broken issues.
So that's that's fantastic.
Um, Midnight? Rarely. Jack do.
He says, what is the Yellow Dog
Man team? So,
um,
we had an issue last time.
Um, actually, we always have an issue about this many companies have the issue.
Uh, only example, actually, is Facebook to talk about? So,
um, Facebook was a product, but also a company.
And so that was confusing sometimes. And that's fixed now.
And you can say what you want about meta.
But like Meta is now a company which makes Facebook.
So it's a lot easier to sort of reason about,
um, steam is a company which makes half
life, um, etcetera, stuff like that.
Um so separating the company and the product is always a good idea.
Um, because they are really two separate entities.
Um, And it also means that hey,
maybe the yellow Dog Man team would work on some other product.
Like, you know, maybe we would work on some other product in the future. Who knows?
That's why we are yellow dogman studios and not
yellow dogman studio or or Resonate incorporated et cetera.
It also, um, makes it easier in terms of sort of trademarks and stuff like we're not as
upper T on what people do with the yellow dogman
name because we don't have a trademark on it,
and it's just our studio name. It's not our
name. Our product name has the, um, trademark moving
shadow.
Hunter says the other dog man studios is not to be confused with the Blue Man group.
Nope. Not at all. The Blue Man group is a great band.
By the way, if you haven't seen any of their work, go take a look at it. Um, also, uh,
and people like, That's a really weird name.
And have you looked at game manufacturer names you've got, like, naughty dog,
which make the uncharted collection et cetera.
Uh, just all sorts of weird names going around. It's totally fine.
Uh,
Leo
says that valve is the company. You're right. See, I made a mistake there.
Steam isn't the product valve is the company. Steam is the product.
Uh, epic
says if a world is running as a separate EXC, what happens if an
task in the world I don't know. We haven't designed that system yet.
We have ideas about how it would work, but we haven't designed it yet,
so you'll have to wait around and find out.
Uh, piano man says, Is there a straightforward way to change control bindings?
Uh
uh. Depends. What type of binding and try and change. It's complicated.
Um,
some users have made some, uh, community VR bindings in the, like regular, um uh,
steam VR area.
Um, usually those are focused on making grip less, uh, needing less a strong grip.
Uh, for those who have trouble with the the strength of the grip. I guess
sometimes I have issues with that.
Sometimes I don't depends on how much I've been in VR over the past week.
Um, I usually get used to it after about, like, an hour.
Um, also, um, it's never the wrong place to ask a question.
Even if it is the wrong place to ask a question.
I would rather you ask than not ask. So there are no stupid questions.
And if you don't know where the right place is to ask a question, ask it Anyway.
We'll tell you the right places.
Uh, trump says I spaced out for a month or two.
How's the road map coming rather than publish a roadmap?
Um, for the moment, at least,
we've decided to just announce our our two main focuses,
which you can see in the Announcements channel.
Those are the settings, um,
system and the, uh uh re redone. Uh, redone. IK. Sorry.
I lost words there for some reason. And now I've got hiccups. Hello.
Um, the only place not to ask your question is the tutorial channel. Absolutely.
Yeah. Questions and help discussion.
Like wherever you want to ask a question, not the tutorial channel.
That's for posting tutorials. As a reminder.
Each channel on our discord has a description.
If it doesn't have a description,
you guys are gonna link it to me and say it doesn't have a description.
I'll fix them when I can. Right.
Uh, I usually add a description when I see that there's a problem, but, uh,
there we go.
Um uh, midnight says, How do you optimise stuff from Resonate to VR chat?
I don't really know what that means.
Do you mean like, how How would you port, like, resonate content to VR chat?
Or how would you port VR chat content to resonate
and then I? I don't understand how optimisation comes into that.
Could you try rephrasing your question, please?
Uh, chunda
says, uh, who owns controls resonate and yellow
dogman. Uh, we're a publicly listed company in the Czech Republic.
You can see who controls and owns it. Um, right there on a link. Um, from Lex.
Uh, it is in Czech, but you could just, like, right click. Translate.
Yeah, we're all there.
Yep.
I'm eating my words now, as people, uh,
flood in telling me which channels don't have a description.
Fantastic.
I'll add the description of what I need to, but, like, yeah,
uh, those are all the questions so far.
I do see a little, uh uh, alert on the on the chat chat.
Yeah. Remember, you ask questions in the questions thread like it's posted
in the chat
and in the the office service General. So, like, you post questions in the question,
that's where they go. Uh,
Shannon says, Is there a possibility
climbers just like editing their message and just destroy me?
You know, like this This channel doesn't have a question.
This this one doesn't have a description.
This one doesn't have a I'll I'll I'll I'll, I'll get them some descriptions later.
Um,
but shadow says is there a possibility of a resonate specific hand
posing model to replace the asymmetrical and overly wonky steam BR one?
Uh,
there's some
issues open about that one it's not. It's not simple.
Um, in addition, could we get a
fox? Know the output? 0 to 1. Values for four capacitive finger sys.
We don't get those as far as I remember.
Like, don't quote me, cos I'm quoting my memory here, which isn't create, uh,
isn't great sometimes.
Um, but as far as I remember, steam doesn't give us those exactly steam.
Gives us like a skeleton.
And then we, like, attach that skeleton, um, to, uh, resonate skeleton.
I might be wrong there, but if so
I
that one
I haven't looked into, like the the skeleton model at all.
If it's got, like,
a con, uh, Cordner in
it I, I try to avoid it.
Um,
kra says, is there a more typical written method description programming?
Not yet, but you're more than welcome to open up a, uh, github
feature request on that one.
we do have some items on our road map that will probably be linked from that issue.
So take a look at, uh, uh,
web assembly support, which is probably I would do that.
Uh, I
dash says the plan is to create a monetization system for creators and resonate.
Yeah. So what we wanna do,
um, is create a marketplace. And
in that marketplace, you'll be able to create and list, um,
items that you've created, maybe even whole worlds.
Basically like anything, anything from, like, a door
to, like, a whole world on there. And you'll be able to search, discover, browse,
um, list, sort philtre, whatever the hell you want, uh,
to find those items now, some of those items will cost money.
We don't know what type of money it will be.
We don't know if it's gonna be dollars right now or funny bucks.
It will not be Cryptocurrency, but it might be a intermediary currency A bit like,
um, whatever MMO you play right now.
Um, but,
uh, there's no sort of concrete information there.
We also want to create a job system that would also be part of that marketplace,
or like, close by in terms of U I
that so it will be,
um you know, I need
an hour of avatar help, and someone will be able to say, Alright,
that'll be a dollar or so.
And And there we go.
Now, some people get con like, um,
concerned when we talk about that Because they're like, Well, what about, like,
monopolies and and bad product listings?
And so we would have to to link out all of those policies, procedures, et cetera.
Um, figure them all out and make sure that there isn't any abuse there.
But there is always going to be abuse of those systems.
Cos it's, you know, money related. So we'll have to have, you know, systems
alerting a team
to review those all sorts of stuff like that.
Um, other people get concerned that stuff is gonna be put up for sale.
That's just ridiculous. And to that, I say we make it better then
that's a good example here. If someone puts up a basic door,
you know, just opens and closes a basic door
for, like, 20 bucks, just don't buy it.
Instead, make a basic door and put it up for free.
However, if someone puts up, say, a door pack that's fully textured fully, uh,
you know, um, UVS correctly decent quality textures, sound effects,
interactivity, You know,
a really good quality door pack and they charge five bucks for it.
Sounds good to me. I'd buy that,
Uh, I mean that says, how do you optimise stuff for
night to VR
cha I I'm just gonna assume that you mean import stuff from VR chat.
I I'm still unclear, but I'll I'll go ahead and answer that one.
Um, so your VR chat avatars are usually,
um, FBX models with a bunch of like lipstick on top of them.
The
the lipstick is, you know, makeup and stuff.
It's like it's it's, uh, VR chat specific,
like components and settings and stuff like that.
So you just take the FBX and then you bring it into resite.
That's all you need to, and then you set it up here
in resite. If you mean the opposite way.
Uh, there is no current way to export a fully intact, um,
avatar from resin I and get it to be able to be into, uh, via
chat.
Um, contrary to popular myth, that isn't intentional.
It's just a sort of area that we haven't explored.
Is portability between something that is in resin
and something that needs to go to another platform.
Um, we do wanna look at that.
I hear, like, crazy myths that, like the reason you can't explore avatars
is so that, like, you know, you're trapped in the
resite ecosystem.
It's like, Oh, maybe we just haven't had time to think about that yet.
And someone else is like the reason full body is So,
uh, crap is so that people don't do adult activities on resin. And it's like,
What?
Like if you If you hear a myth, please challenge that myth challenge it, uh,
once the wiki's up, see hashtag wiki
for more. On that,
um, there will be a myths page, um,
which lists some of those common myths and why they're stupid.
Um, most myths are wrong. Most,
uh, Easter asks, uh, if someone is hosting a world that they brought,
would people still be able to join the instance if they haven't brought the world?
Uh, III. I don't we We haven't
like we haven't thought about that, like at all. All we know is that, like
in some mechanism,
people will be able to buy and sell things that they make Beyond that,
it's just sort of like it needs designing.
It needs thinking.
We need legal support, cos it's money and stuff.
So we're still thinking on that one. It's not gonna be like Eastern.
It's not gonna be like tomorrow or on Thursday or whatever
the marketplace launches. And you have no idea.
Like we're we're gonna be announcing the sort of plans for that one as we go.
Uh, midnight says, Why can't I ask for some word as I could before,
Uh, I would need to know What? What worlds. And, uh, what happens when you try?
Like when you open them? Do you get an error message and stuff like that?
I would recommend a bug report on the
github for someone to take a look at that.
Uh, and that would, uh, prevent,
uh, the confusion.
Uh, euphoria says, should I be working on my homework right now? OK, so II, I told you
I was gonna do this. I told them I was go. I warned them.
And so they're gonna get it right.
Everyone here.
Direct
message.
You
fee.
They need to do their college work right now. They need to do their homework.
They should not be playing resume.
They shouldn't be playing any other games. They shouldn't be watching TV.
They shouldn't be watching YouTube.
They are very close to passing their college degree.
They just need to do a lot of work in, like, a week.
So So let them know that they should be
doing their work like they messaged me in resume
yesterday night. And they're like, Do you wanna hear a cool story?
And I was like, Do you wanna do your work?
They're like, Oh, I'm I'm too tired to do the work now.
Or you should be asleep, and then you can get up early and do your work. Uh, Emde
says, expanding on midnight's question.
Uh, we plan sort of implementing, uh uh implement importing,
uh dot meta unity package files automatically
allocate systems or assets for the FEX.
Not sure exactly how far that would go,
but, um, maybe we are.
We are looking into making a dot resonate package or
something like that to make portability of our content.
Good.
One of the problems with,
like allowing imports of other people's packages
and stuff like that is sometimes we
get issues with licencing or specifications or API S or stuff like that,
where it just becomes
awkward to do it.
Like, for example, I don't know this for certain,
but like maybe Meta's content's encrypted.
I know that if it was Apple, it would be encrypted for some strange reason.
Um, and you wouldn't be able to look at it if you want to know more about that one.
Take a look at, like, sort of the right to repair area. Or it's like cool.
If you replace this like tiny component on your like Apple product,
it bricks itself.
Great.
Who invented that?
Um, Lotus Gaming says. How do you avoid burnout?
So I have a very unhealthy answer to this one and a very healthy answer to this one. The
unhealthy answer to this one is what's happened in my life,
which is Everything's just gone negative, right?
So I used to be like a super anxious person.
I used to, like, hate working and everything like that.
I used to burn out all the time,
and then everything just went like negative.
And now I, I practise what's called absurdism,
which is basically just like life's just fucking crazy, right?
Roll with it,
Uh, and so I don't suffer from burnout anymore
at all.
I know on days where I'm tired and I'll stop. So maybe that is avoiding burner.
But my approach isn't the healthy approach.
And there are team members who regularly tell me to stop working. And I'm just like,
thank you, but I'm gonna go over here and do some more work now.
Um,
I, I do take breaks.
Yesterday, for example, I sat on the couch with my dog and intended to just, like,
you know, give him some ear rubs and then get back to work.
I fell asleep and woke up, so yeah, that was a break. When are you barking at dog? Are
you barking at your sleep again? He
had, like, a bad dream the other day, and like I was asleep, he was asleep.
He woke up like barking his head off.
It was clearly a dream, cos nothing was happening outside and he was just like,
you know,
I had a bad dream. Bark, bark, bark. And I'm just like it's OK. Come here.
Uh, Easton says, can we get an A, Actually,
go back to the healthy response to the burnout.
Uh, pretty much What Shifty said. So shifty. Said, um,
setting very strict working hours. Um, exactly making sure that you have weekends.
Um,
there's also a lot to be said about, like, environment as well.
Um, I know, like, if you're at college or education or you know, something like that.
Or maybe you still live with your folks, etcetera.
Uh, your world is your bedroom, right?
You you might work and study in your bedroom. Um, even adults do this, right?
They they end up making their living room their office, like I've done or whatever.
Make sure that there's a separate place or at least a separate feel for it.
Uh, I used to do it for a while now.
It doesn't affect me, but I used to be like, if I'm working as if and I'm doing work,
I put shoes on.
And if I'm not working, I take shoes off.
And something about, like, the pressure around my feet signalled like, Hey,
it's work time or not work time.
But I really can't stand shoes. So, II, I can't stand socks these days either.
Um,
but just like,
think about what your ideal day would look like and then maybe write that out, like,
write it out on a piece of paper.
Like what? What time do you wake up?
What do you do the moment you wake up? What do you do after that? What do you eat?
Who are you talking to?
What are the sort of people you're interacting with?
What are the things you're touching and and and and using?
Uh, and you'll start to sort of figure out where the gaps are.
So on My waking up list was not dog barking at four
o'clock in the morning and waking me up because they're scared.
He's about to pee on the floor.
I. I just know he's gonna pee on the floor in a minute.
Let's try and get to the point of these questions.
Um, Midnight says access denied is coming up.
So if access denied is coming up, then for some reason,
either you are banned from resonate, in which case, moderation dot ne, uh,
resonate.com
or you are banned from that world.
For some reason, maybe the world host has banned you for some reason.
In which case, uh, try and reach out to them,
understand that they might not want to speak to you, though,
um,
I missed Easton's question.
Can we get an official issue for the hard permissions and content ID system.
Uh, I have asked, actually, you know, shifty asked, um, Shifty asked, uh,
freaks to do that, and we're just waiting on them to type it up.
I could totally type it up, but it would be incomplete.
It would just be like freaks to fill in the details.
Um,
Piano man, Great name. There is there.
Is there a reason for MP3 files to import his videos?
It's It's sort of a bug, but sort of not a bug. It's a difficult one to handle.
Basically, MP3 is just a really bad format,
and so
not a lot of our libraries that we're using support,
but the video library that we use does support it.
So when an MP3 file comes in,
we basically go through the list of importers that we have.
And we say, like, Hey, do you support MP threes? And they all go? No.
And then the video provider goes, sure do,
and then that's why you get a video. So it's sort of a bug, sort of not a bug.
Uh, Chala
says that they went through the public listing in the company shares.
The second largest share is Stanislav. Yeah, that's our lawyer. Um, Stan is the man.
Um,
like,
they don't really have any. Like, they they're never gonna play Resonate.
They're never gonna You're never gonna see them.
Um, they don't even, like have team status,
but they're great. Uh, so much so
that, like, jokingly,
I wanted there to just be like a a bronze statue in the home world of Stan with, like,
the caption that just says, Like, Stan is the man.
Cos like they're fantastic.
They helped us out a lot, uh, and they were compensated quite well for that that lot.
Uh, he said
something about 3D printing. My advice is to just buy a printer that just works.
I have the anchor
make M five.
I have saved so much money on the anchor
make M five
in the weirdest way possible, which is
every hour. I am existing.
And I'm not doing work to further like my financial situation.
I'm losing money, right?
And so,
like my older 3D printer, it was just like it clogged all the time.
It it messed up all the time.
It printed weird all the time, so I just bought a more expensive one.
That just works out of the gate, and I don't do anything to it.
I just hit print and it worked.
Um, like I put it in a box for, like, two months because I was moving.
It came out of the box
and
it just worked, right? I just put it together, and it worked.
I missed a question from Tiki. So going up to that one? No more questions, by the way.
Sorry, we're running over, and I need to let the dog out. What? They wanna pee.
Um,
Tiki asked.
Is there any plan to do digital signatures that are authorised from user space?
Simplified. Uh, node That could take a string and put private IE uh uh, make
a request. That's that's too complicated.
All signatures or cryptography. Uh, please. Please.
I mean, most of the cases, uh, but you know what I mean. Uh, kiss this.
Was there an official statement to the stances on 18 plus content?
Uh,
you can take a look at our user guidelines
for that or attend the moderation office hours.
Uh, you just missed the last one and the moderation office hours.
If you have further questions,
take a look at our user guidelines that are on our website,
General says. Glad there are people behind the scenes helping you.
Everyone's helping us like everyone's like,
stood up to the plate and done a bunch of stuff that, like
in some cases, they, they they shouldn't do, And in some cases,
they I'm glad that they did.
Uh, M Dash
is following up to this. I've been concerned about the age
crime being 16 instead of just 18,
and their plans to change this will be more strictly moderate.
16 plus is due to EU laws preventing the
storage of data under of individuals under 16.
We technically can store, um, details about people who are under 16,
but we need written and informed parental consent,
and we have no like mechanism for doing that in a
way that we think would stand up to the courts.
So, as an example to this, when you were sent on a field trip at high school,
your parent had to sign that consent form.
That consent form went into like a filing cabinet in your high school's offices
and, like if anything happened on the high school school trip,
they'd pull out those forms to prove that the parent did consent.
We need something like that,
but we don't have a form. We don't have a filing cabinet,
and we don't have a way to give the form to the parent.
Um and so we were concerned that a lot of it would just be lying, right?
It would just be Oh, yeah, I'm I'm
I'm between the age of 13 and 16. So I know enough to know how to fake a form.
Um, and my parent has totally agreed to these terms of services.
If you have an issue with that,
you should contact your local lawmaker about
the ridiculousness of European data privacy.
Now, some of it's good,
but like it's getting to the point where it's like it's almost
more difficult to make a product than it is to just not.
And I think it's gonna go even further,
like it wouldn't surprise me if we start having conversations.
We probably won't get to the point where it can be,
um like, actually, you know, in law and happen.
But I think we get to the point where people start saying like,
do we need a separate Internet for people who are under 18, right?
You know, the like, at a government level,
they'd somehow sort of ostracise the Internet a little bit
at a government level.
Such that, like,
people can't access websites that the government don't want them to.
You know,
like so you know, government, big weeks in an office somewhere.
They're like, we are banning
resite from the entire state, and they just, like,
push a button on their big control panel and, like, no person can get it.
Uh, I don't understand. M dash about your clarification.
Uh, we are not a predominantly adult platform. Uh, trundle
says that they don't really know how other, uh, games deal with that requirement.
No, I don't know. Either.
One of the problems to know is that, like, those regulations are always changing.
And we launched,
um,
in 2023 right, we launched in 2023 which means that we tried to, um,
honour the up to date policies.
In some cases, other games might not have updated their policies in a while, right?
So they might not be aware of this whole 16 thing.
They might not be aware that that they need to make changes.
I hope that their legal prob, uh,
platform or or or support team or whatever their lawyers
are are helping them to understand the new requirements.
But they just keep changing and keep like new words
and stuff like this I mentioned at previous office hours.
But D a
17 or something means we gotta do some paperwork, and I've got no idea what that is.
I haven't looked into it yet.
We do want to in the future, and I don't want to talk about it right now.
So, like, moderation office hours. But we do
want to have some sort of feature
that allows
content gating of somehow some way.
I don't want to, like, talk about it anymore because people start saying,
What about this?
What about that? What about this?
And then you're up with a 4000 message Long, uh, thread on the discord, but,
uh, there we go,
Uh,
chalik says, why not age gate people? Only from the EU.
Um,
we have a principle in our company where we apply the EU data practises to everywhere
because it's just easier. It's just easier.
Like it says, Like any customer in the EU gets these rights
and we're like, OK, well, every customer gets those rights
because it's just easier.
Otherwise, we start having to go like we'd end up with, like,
a a an Excel spreadsheet of Sort of like
OK, you live in turkey.
That means you can do this and can't do that, OK, you live in Germany,
so you can do this and can't do that.
Um, shy
says EU data policies are just better and more protective.
They are, um they are crazy, though,
like they are getting harder and harder to to honour.
Um,
I always liked it when GDPR was as simple as, like,
allow the person to see the data we have on them.
You know why we have the data on them to export that data so they can see it or whatever.
And to delete that data, that was
that was simple. But now it's like, Oh, if you're doing this, you gotta do this.
And if you're doing that, you gotta do this. So it's getting more complicated,
but the general principle is like making you guys in control of it.
Um, something.
I'm also sort of hoping that we keep up with the policy of,
as well as not creating data, we don't need to.
As an example, if you go to any popular product, let's say Facebook.
Um, if you click, say, like the Facebook home page
to go to the Facebook home page,
it sends an event to Facebook and says, You went to the home page.
And the reason it does that is so that people can say like,
0 50% percent of our users use the home page button.
That means that button's good,
and then they'll do like a test where they like,
make the button glow or like sparkle or whatever and they'll say, Ooh,
now 55% of the people click the Facebook button. That's cool.
And that's what telemetry is, by the way.
I know that like telemetry gets sort of like, Oh, it's big, it's scary.
We should block it,
but like that's why it's there so they can
understand if their button is better than another button.
I do wanna explore or resonate having some telemetry in the future, but, um,
in those cases we'd have full communication with you guys about what we're doing,
why we're doing it, How we're doing it, how to opt out, et cetera.
Um you know, for example, it might be good to see
the number of people that enable the full body system. Right?
If we could track that, somehow we could see that.
But we would want to do that in a way
that preserves your privacy and allows you to opt out.
Um, and all sorts of stuff like that.
I don't I don't know, like
I wanna look into it,
but yeah, you'd be able to opt out.
I don't know if it would be opt in or opt out,
would I Would have to take a look like it prob I don't know.
Like, don't quote me. Don't Don't overanalyze what I'm saying.
Just saying Like,
it would be useful for me to know how many people open the full body tracker
in some way, and we have to figure it out.
Or it would be useful to figure out how many people, um,
that come to resin actually even pop an inspector
like what percentage of users come to resina
and never open an inspector.
That would be a super useful number to have but until we can get that in a way that,
like honours your privacy, honours our like challenges and our like policies,
etcetera, fantastic.
And once again, for those who are, like alarmed by that, it's not gonna be like, Hey,
it's Thursday.
Every single button you push gets sent to the cloud,
it's it's never gonna happen like that.
We'd communicate it
if we did do that, that Leah said something, something harsh or the If we did do it,
we'd do it anonymized as well.
So it would be like, Hey, we can see that
this percentage of people did this thing, but not who they are.
Uh, Easter.
One of the things about telemetry data is it's very,
very easy to compact and store that very, very easy.
Very, very, very easy.
Uh, I think, um,
I think that's that's done. I think we're we're done with all the questions.
So I'm gonna go ahead and leave off here.
I'm gonna take my dog for a walk, and, uh, I will speak to you soon.
Oh, and, uh, ye
do you work
