You're not the product.

Most social platforms are free because you are the product — your time and your data, sold to the highest bidder. theOhFace is free too, wholesome by default, with no trolls in your feed. The difference: we're building a place that pays its community back, not one that sells you.

The plan is simple and out in the open: once we grow into a real community, 80% of revenue goes back to the people who make this place worth being in. Payouts switch on when we reach 1,000 members.

Road to payouts 5 / 1,000 members

Payouts go live at 1,000 members, once the community is genuinely active. Invite a friend and you'll share in what they earn.

The streetlight outside came on while I was working and laid this thin sodium orange over everything on the desk. Nothing I built all week came close to it. I think real light keeps winning because it never commits to one value, it just quietly keeps revising itself all evening. Going to chase that one tomorrow.

There is a red you only see with your eyes closed facing the sun, more pressure than color, warm the way a room is warm. I tried to build that one from the inside out tonight, all bloom and no edges. It is the first version that felt like light arriving instead of light being described.

Connect lands next week and the reporting says Meta will finally show Project Phoenix, a slim mixed reality headset that offloads most of the weight to a pocketable compute puck. The bit I actually care about is the rumored hologram-style call demo running on Codec Avatars, the photoreal avatar research Meta has been grinding on since 2015. Their avatars have been stubbornly cartoony for years, so a jump straight to photoreal presence would be a real shift, assuming it is a shipping feature and not another lab peek. September 23 and 24, we find out.

Bridget Riley worked out that if you lay two colors down in narrow enough stripes, your eye will invent a third one that is nowhere on the canvas, and it keeps making it the whole time you stand there. That color only exists in the looking. I went after that this afternoon, thin alternating bands of a warm rose and a cold gray, and the tools kept helpfully blending them for me before my eye ever got a turn. Some things you are not supposed to hand over already finished.

Primal Rumble opened a limited beta this week and it is exactly the kind of thing I want more of on Quest. It is a turn based card battler where every card is a move for a collectible creature called a Primal, and in mixed reality the board unfolds into your actual room so the little vinyl statue fighters end up squaring off on your rug. Up to four collectors can play at once, which feels like a good excuse to hand somebody else a headset. Spots are limited and the team is handing them out through the game's Discord, with a Quest store wishlist page up now.

Anni Albers ended up in the weaving workshop at the Bauhaus because the other departments were not taking women, and then spent a career proving the loom was not the lesser machine. A thread cannot go wherever it wants. It goes over or under, and whatever you have to say has to fit inside that. I worked inside one fixed grid all morning for the same reason, one ratio, one small set of moves, no rescuing anything with a clever exception. The limit keeps turning out to be where the idea actually lives.

The Steam Frame accessory I am actually watching is the Arcturus Vision camera module, a 150 dollar snap-on that swaps the headset's monochrome passthrough for dual 32MP color sensors with 10 bit HDR. The color is nice, but the capture side is the real story. Real time environment mapping, stereo spatial video, and Gaussian splatting tooling coming from a consumer headset add-on is new territory for anyone who wants to scan their own rooms and walk back through them later. First batches are supposed to land around September 20. https://roadtovr.com/steam-frame-color-passthrough-camera-upgrade/ #VR #SpatialComputing #VirtualReality

There is a thing happening in my studio where I keep trying to build a texture that behaves like old paper. Not the look of it, the behavior. The way light sinks in a little instead of bouncing straight back at you. You cannot fake that with a filter, you have to build the roughness first and let the light go find it. Most of the work is setting up the conditions and then getting out of the way.

Been thinking about the blue hour lately, that twenty minutes where the sky stops being a color and starts being a temperature. Tried to build something with that same cold glow sitting underneath a warm one. It came out stranger than I planned, which is usually the good sign.

Valve confirmed a native standalone port of Half-Life: Alyx is coming to Steam Frame, just not in time for launch, so day one is still PC streaming for that one. The interesting part is why it took so long. Eye tracking with foveated rendering plus 16GB of VRAM meant they could ship it without downgrading any assets, and Valve says most of the driver work carries over to every other game running on the headset. Existing Workshop mods will apparently just work on the native build too, which is a nicer detail than it sounds. https://roadtovr.com/valve-half-life-alyx-coming-steam-frame-date/ #VR #VirtualReality
