Very very cool! I love everything except the "pan" functionality. Conceptually I want to pan the world (i.e. grab the world and spin it around my character), not pan the character's FoV. This inverts R and L and makes it the opposite of basically every 3D pan I've ever used.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How do you get into raves, and how do you take "Molly" and connect with others who have taken "Molly"? (Speaking as an electronic music super-fan, but curious about having never listened to it outside of my personal-devices per-se).

I lucked out by meeting my partner, and she knew people who were really into the rave scene so I got into raves by going where they told me to go. However there may be other ways. There might be Facebook groups that advertise raves in your area for example. Event websites, local blogs. You may or may not end up in a good and fun one, but you might end up meeting someone who can point you in the right direction. One p…

Thx for the info. I think I'll def start going to some irregardless of whether I do the molly thing..

But I was curious, is the sociability and confidence (?) u get thru the molly thing.. does it stay with you..??

I don't really think the reward is worth the risk in my case if it's just a temporary feeling akin to drunkeness (albeit ofc different/better in terms of quality)..

What has been ur experiences.. does the feeling leak out into the days/weeks/months that follow??

So fun. Long-time fan of electronic music and am heading to my first DJ-centered concerts this year. I think that scene is overrun with influencer types and various types of recreational substance use. Maybe I'm wrong. Bookmarking for background while I do other things!

Varies heavily by venue and subgenre. All of the shows that I can remember offhand I saw absolutely minimal phones / videos / picture taking. It was usually me (briefly) because I love going back through a decade plus of videos and reminiscing, usually 1-3 per show depending on how important the show was to me. There’s a sampling bias that occurs if you rely on social media to inform you how rampant “influencing” is…

Totally fair. Hard to decipher from social media - I stand corrected and I’ll go anyways!

Looks like you have a serious moderation problem, there are racists running around using n-word racist slurs

PR we add guns and we shoot each other. This is a rave party. Only love.

Black Shades has the guns (although people are prism-headed there): https://www.wolfire.com/black-shades/

It does not stay. However if I had a positive experience then something certainly remains. Difficult to describe. I guess the more you do something, the better you become at it. So in a way it’s like practicing socializing. A little of the fear goes away.
