Coffee with Maxwell, Part 1 (A VRChat Production)

I know, I know, it’s been a while since I uploaded anything. I just needed a little hiatus to take care of a few things IRL and get myself in a better place, mentally and physical. As I ease myself back into the usual swing of things, I have this video to upload to YouTube.

So, a while back, I started “interviewing” a couple of my friends to talk about topics related to VRChat, sort of exploring what impact it might have had on them and the social dynamic of the platform in its entirety. Maxwell Rodgers being one of the first ones I had interviewed, he provided a greater contextual background as to the workings of Second Life and how that impacted the furries he had come into contact with along the way. While obviously not the same, similar trends sort of varied over to the virtual world that is VRChat, and it was interesting to hear his personal experiences and what he observed in those he knew or experienced during his time there, compared to VRChat.

Being that our entire talk was over the span of about an hour, I split the video into two parts. This’d obviously be the first. I was planning on reaching out and talking to a few others to get a more varied perspective from a multitude of different people about their personal experiences, and as I continue to enjoy VRChat, I have noticed certain trends and behaviors that sort of follow in its user base.

As they pertain to the people we know and those we don’t, the topics we touched were of interest to me to at least talk about, as I feel they’re important enough to at least reflect on for those that are interested in or are already a part of, be it Second Life, VRChat, or any other virtual platform. Hope you enjoy~
