Hello there, and thank you so much for checking in! We have a fairly short one for you this month while the cooks (devs) are hard at work creating all sorts of crazy concoctions (bugs) in the kitchen (basement). Jokes aside, there's still quite a bit in the pipeline that we're excited to show off, but isn’t quite ready.

This can be anything from attaching an object to your avatar, to teleportation, typically done with props. The typical adjustments found in similar settings are available h…
