I attended CarrierCon aboard the USS Hornet! Met BaoziBun (creator of Hornet-chan) and Gabe (Lead Organizer of CarrierCon). It was amazing to see all the cosplayers and VTubers come together on a real aircraft carrier! Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen and special thanks to pyconaut (Tech Lead of CarrierCon) for telling us about CarrierCon at the GDC Mocap Mixer!
