How do you see, if we keep talking about Ready Player One, proximity chat is something that I've always been enamored by.
G
53:48Gengis Ale PennoHOST
I think proximity chat is one of the main reasons our creators did as well as it did.
G

G
115:25GrowlHOST
And so what what? Oh, the question is proximity chat.
G

S
18:39speaker_3HOST
Yeah
N
18:39Nicholas ZhangGUEST
... and so it was working already.
S
21:50speaker_3HOST
Yeah
D
21:50DanHOST
... um, yeah.
D
21:52DanHOST
Um, yeah, so two seconds ago, we were talking about proximity chat, um, uh, in game.
D
22:00DanHOST
Uh, I think one thing also I want to kind of chat about is just sort of like, you know, we were talking before about, Em, how you, you know, record a lot of stuff.
