Today we launched Nations of Nexus on @OthersideMeta. On the surface, it's a futbol inspired activation. 48 nation-inspired jerseys. 2 Otherside team jerseys. 2 shorts variants. A new wearable shop. A playable pitch in the Swamp. But for me, this launch represents something much bigger. Over the last several months, a small but incredibly talented team has been building what we've been calling internally Wearable Studio, a custom creation platform designed specifically for Otherside. The original goal was simple. Give creators the ability to move from idea to game-ready wearable faster than ever before. This activation became our proving ground. An opportunity to put the tooling, workflows, and pipeline through a real production environment, pressure test every assumption, and gather the learnings needed to make the platform stronger. For this activation, a single concept artist (we see you @Lovans) was able to create 52 wearables in an incredibly aggressive timeline, taking concepts all the way through to finalized assets that are now live in Otherside. From sketch to production. From production to distribution. All from the same platform. That outcome is not the result of working harder. It's the result of building better systems. The wearables launching today are the visible output, but behind them is months of work designing workflows, UX patterns, creation tools, storefront experiences, minting flows, and the supporting infrastructure needed to create, publish, and manage wearable content at scale while integrating learning along the way. What excites me most is that this activation demonstrates something we've believed for a long time. Wearables are more than cosmetics. They're identity. They're affiliation. They're access. They're participation. They're an extension of us. The jerseys you pick are not just something you wear. They determine which nation you represent. They unlock access to the pitch. They become your ticket into the experience itself. In this activation, wearables are not sitting on the sidelines. They're part of the gameplay loop. That's an important step toward a future where digital items can do more than just look good. They can help shape experiences, communities, and the worlds we participate in. As designers, some of the highest impact work we can do isn't creating the final asset. It's creating systems that allow entire teams to create more, move faster, and be more ambitious. That's what Wearable Studio represents to me. A platform built by creators, for creators. A force multiplier. This launch would not have happened without an incredible team of designers, artists, engineers, and producers, who pushed through every challenge to make it real. And none of it happens without leadership willing to trust their team, empower experimentation, and give people room to build something ambitious. Creativity has never been the bottleneck. The process usually is. Today is proof. 52 wearables. One concept artist. One platform. One activation. And a glimpse at what scalable creation inside Otherside can look like. The most exciting part for me isn't the 52 wearables we launched today. It's everything they make possible next. See you in the Swamp 🦍⚽

As a German living in Australia the fact that Australia has twice as many public sector workers than France is hilarious.

My word. This is incredible. A real-life version of that scene from The Life of Brian: "Stan, you haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!"

Australia’s new tax changes are a joke. $250k income $50k capital gain = $106k in tax here. Same earnings in USA = $51k tax. I made an app to show you where all your tax goes.
