This is a great time to support people like Olan Rogers who have worked for all the majors and are bucking the system. He funded his latest animated series pilot through kickstarter and is getting funding for the rest of the episodes now. Imagine that: paying creative people in advance and bypassing the corporate bullshit. He’s even left kickstarter behind now to take payments directly. https://godspeedseries.com/

Helluva Boss doing quite well too.

You may not hear about shows like these because promotion is just not worth throwing any money at… The following is already grassroots and the powers that be make it tough to compete against their ads. But there is quality stuff being made by directly funding film makers. There just needs to be more ways of finding funds for up and coming talent.

(And there needs to be a better place to release non network shows than YouTube, but that’s a whole other can of worms)

You’re right. Steam link exists for Linux but doesn’t connect to the new VR app. I agree valve likely has every intention of tapping this market soon though

Steam just made a big step forward with steam link, but previously the headset manufacturers were releasing Windows only link software.

Also there are now open source solutions like ALVR… But like most FOSS it can require some know how.

In my first weeks with it i had a subdirectory named “home” somewhere in a project directory I was done with. It must have been finger memory but when i went to delete it I typed

That slash ruined my day

Well explained. Thanks for spelling it out.

And layers. And animation. And it’s not patented by Google
