Where is @jamesthomson commenting on the Apple Event? Miss the slightly sarcastic posts...

@alaingeenrits I’m going through some family health stuff at the moment, and my mind has been on other stuff. Normal service will be resumed!

So, last night I got some terrible news about my wonderful wee man, Caspian.

When I left Wellington I found him a lovely new cat-Mum as he couldn't come with me. He just celebrated his 13th birthday with her, but after rapid weight loss we found he has aggressive cancer, and it's non-treatable.

It was a tumour on his jaw that spread to his lungs.

I’ve got an anti-wish for WWDC: I really hope they don’t bring HealthKit to macOS or visionOS this year!

Adapting Peak to the iPad was a massive effort last year, and the watch right now is even more so. I could use a break!

@harshil This was definitely the gif that came to mind. Yeah, I think it will be a rough one for me too!

@jamesthomson James “Trouble” Thomson is a good moniker for the DnD side of your works. ☺️

Achievement unlocked, rolled a virtual dice with my hands.

A pair of hands made of bananas pick up a giant D20 and throw it, in VR.

@Eggfreckles Good question!

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@chockenberry Oh that would be really disturbing. I’ll do it!

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@Arcticulate My hands were underneath it - I’m tweaking things to make it feel more natural though. Thanks, it’s a lot of fun!

@renegaderich @LaserdiscTurtle Aww, you are too kind! I will permit it just this once :)

@jamesthomson Hi James! A couple quick things:

a. Oh God what have you unleashed on the world of podcasts will hunt us forever.

b. A quick pointer on what did you use, so I can ravage other worlds myself, pretty please? 🥺

@cdf1982 It was suno.ai :)

“Shooting dice from your hands while standing on top of the plane works as you would expect.” is certainly a sentence I just typed into TestFlight.

@yatil Indeed!

@juanarzola That seems a good one not to fix!

Got fired today due to my disability severely impacting my productivity. Sigh.

What now?! I have no prospectives anywhere.

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@rosyna Damn, I'm really sorry to hear that.

It is a lot of fun messing around with physics on the Vision Pro though.

Enormous cereal boxes are bouncing in VR. Again, it is not entirely clear why.

@ZephyrAuster Hand gestures to fly - it's actually pretty stable! I normally get motion sickness, but I don’t with this.

People ask me, “How's your mental health doing at the moment, James?”.

I trust this answers the question.

A man shoots bananas out of his hands in VR. It’s unclear why.
