I bought my vive, but getting a free Acer Windows Mixed Realty HMD from AltspaceVR was nice.
how the fuck can you get that lucky
yeah, it was 600 at the time. I regret not getting legs then since I ended up spending the money on other thing
can i get some of that luck pls
i don't have legs tracking though
but I'll get them soon-ish after I pay some bills
@rough pulsar Vive is still better?
@lavish knot By a long way.
You can take the WMR on the road if you travel a lot so that's cool
what the
Vive for FBT, Oculus for battery time
wtf is altspacevr
I was a dummy and broke my vive out of the box.
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
The increased PPD on WMR is nice, but the LCD panels have shit contrast.
You can have both, but it's expensive
Altspace is another VR social platform, kinda like vrchat but a bit different
Get the vive wireless adapter and have it literally burn your head π
lol
Once I've finished my breakfast I'm off into town and I'm taking my VR with me, because if you couple WMR with a VR-capable laptop you've got some seriously portable VR. It's great.
don't really need the wireless though
i mean, i'm clumsy af but you tend to get a 6th sense to where the cord is
You know you've been in VR too long when you make to kick the cord out of the way IRL
yeah, it's good if you have a large playspace or are really into dancing or have an exercise pole, but I don't see much use for it
Wireless would only be useful for fbt users
agreed
I mean, i use fbt and have no issues with the cord
oh yeah right
and i move around a lot sometimes
Never said that fbt users need to have wireless, just saying it would be much more useful for them
oh yeah, dumb question, but does the rift work with Valve VR home?
depends on how good the wireless is tbh for me to consider it but might be good for others, yeah
I installed turn signal, but never used it. I'm a risk taker and play without the floor thing and without my chaperone grid
Just fine I imagine, what with SteamVR supporting as many HMDs as it can
you have the other thing on Rift
@rough pulsar question, are games like Lone Echo working on the vive?
or do you mean the hosue thing?
I just use the developer boundary settings. so a small line on the floor
@rigid crescent yes
oh, the house thing sucks lol
As far as I know they should be.
it's a fun gimmick for about a day or two then you just wanna hop into a game
I won't even go near any FB stuff so I've never installed revive for any oculus exclusives.
But youβll trust a Chinese company with a track record of spiraling out of control and with one of the worst support ever
Aight
Iβm talking about htc
I wouldnβt be surprised if htc vr division is dead in the next year
Taiwanese, and yeah. At least they don't try to grab all my personal info and use it to advertise bullshit to me under the pretense of 'connecting people'
hai
I'm not sure if blank names are allowed here
what
If HTC go under it's no big deal to me as long as there's other viable HMD manufacturers in the VR industry.
blank names r allowed
Sigh,.
Vive is made by HTC, and you're saying that HTC VR devision will go under the next year?
where will that leave the Vive?
Dead probably
what
Hope valve find other producer
didn't asia buy them all up not too long ago? you couldn't find one for a while
Nah, it was a component shortage.
Selling well != company doing well
It's better than selling poorly, that's for sure
A Japanese friend had to wait over 2 months for amazon to send him his FBT trackers
i honestly cant see them getting under when about more than half of VR relies on them for a good and non-evil VR HMD
so i guess there will be huge backlash and rebuilding when they go under
Isn't vive pretty much the best headset on the market right now?
Well, Vive Pro
Minus the current controllers (and even then that only applies for specific cases) yeah, generally.
Do you have to play with Unicodes in here?
I remember before I got VR everyone said get Vive, not oculus. Now I have Vive and all I ever hear is bad stuff about it
Vive is best for FBT, but it has poor support and battery life
That's mostly because vrchat's input layout for the vive controllers ain't the best since it relies on artifical locomotion a lot and the vive wands were designed with roomscale in mind
Iβd love the vive to stick around. HTC is a volatile company though, divisions shut down, divisions reopened burning through money ect
Oculus is going to be only W10, is pwned by Facebook, but is a bit cheaper and has longer battery life. Also no FBT yet
lol if vive goes under, eventually that'd be no more full body
and oculus isnt designed for roomscale
until someone else filled the gap, which im sure they would
I never noticed a problem with my Vive battery life. I can get a good 4 hours of gameplay and still have 2 bars left on my controllers
would steam try to find another HMD developer?
well it's the inconvenience of having to stop honestly
@rigid crescent Except that's not how it works, since any other company can license Valve's lighthouse tech and fill the market void created by HTC/Vive going away.
oh really? then we're all good
i guess they'd have no use for them since they'd be done lol
lol ye
Vive lasts about 6 hours, Oculus about a week I think
"lasts"?
If valve moves to a different company Iβd happily buy but I see htc as pretty shaky
controller battery
battery life
ah
Bad wording, my bad
If I recall correctly Valve don't even charge anything for using lighthouse tech.
i got two 10-foot USB cables I use for mine so they never really die
would valve go to another company when htc commits sudoku?
Anyway, I have to be off. I have things to do in the pysical world (getting internet installed at the new office today woohoo!)
Yes hopefully
Have a good one Gallium
Valve is invested in vr
and they would have the experience
HAve fun and don't forget there'll always be spiders.
Lots of spiders. Good lord that's a lot of spiders. π±
I know in the future Iβll have to buy a new headset as this one will eventually be outdated, but with the way it sounds it seems itβll be sooner than I though
@rough pulsar have fun with cables :)
Halloween event?
Ehh depends on how companies play their cards mysticcia
Same, it's exensive
i just hope FB wont swoop in with all of their exclusives
i want to deliberately fuck them in the ass by using revive
Well I mean, they already have a bunch
its just a scummy way to play
i fucking wish that people just stop with their dumb "exclusive" garbage
and it hurts the community
just share it you fucking freaks
@vocal shard FUCKING SAME
Exclusive is evil
How are you fucking them by using revive
"WHY PS4"
A game was PS3 exclusive, so I installed an emulator on my computer
It's from a comic by GreenTeaNeko, since they're usually slightly perverted I won't search for it while in class
RDR still isnt on the fucking PC
Yeah donβt think it will ever be
Inb4 preorder bonus on rdr2 on pc
Exactly, thank you!
np
i just looked up that name + "slime", and then tapped images
cuz google usually filters out NSFW
when you turn on that filter
(which i usually forget)
It's not really NSFW, just a bit suggestive
ill look them up when i get back home
cuz i like the style and the concepts he toys with here
anyway
i think VRchat will be the "classic" chatting system of future VR
like how we will look at stuff like skype, or... IRC
or MSN
the alternatives to vrchat arent looking great for now
i feel there's so much more protentional here, but it's just not possible through design
ye but in 10 years we'll look back on this client like we look at IRC now
outdated, but humble
i can only predict that
maybe, but for a lot of people this is all they're looking for. the whole anime custom avatar thing carries the hell out of this game
shrug
you need to get that the possible creativity will always create some norm
it makes it even better whenever you see an eccentric avatar!
ππππππππππππππππππππππππ
yeah, anime girls are cute though m8
random question
agreed
ovrdrop ?
no idea
probably ovrdrop
π
When will halloween hubs be out?
idk
An announcement had a date in it for some halloween contest thing
And as far as I remember it's quite late. I'm too lazy to check though
@lavish knot openvr twitch chat
Its the free opensource thing that turned into ovrdrop later on
hmmmm alright
Hey everyone! Just a bit of a tip:

Todays Pill tip
take the pill

You know I wish we had a old new hub link
Like it's the one version I liked because it had the massive avatar area and everything was more enclosed.
π
@vocal shard I mean they won't be looking good for a while
VRChat has been out for years lol
fewdays
I think 5
I think Hi-Fidelity is the closest thing to a competitor VRChat has right now if you don't count something like Second Life, but it still needs a lot of work
Yup

was laggy as shit when I tried it
I miss the old crouch so badly..
the current one is so bad
it makes everyone look so weird
and deformed
hellloo
Hello
how are y'all doing this fine morning?
Working and wish i wasn't working.
This high school has timed AC so when it's hot this time of year you're SOL
Is anyone getting super long logins from the SDK and on VRChat, also my model took a very long time to load and im typing this waiting on a world to load.
did you uncheck future proofing ?
yes
rip i guess
Is a base station for the vive required for full body tracking? If so do I only need one?
ok thanks
Oh yeah forgot to ask one last questions, are the base stations provided with the vive/pro?
Yes
Otherwise it wouldn't work
(unless you buy just the vive pro, you need the starter package to get the vive pro to work) og vive has everything
alright thanks
Happy Leif Erikson Day
I think u also think you need more friends or make stuff
oh
You need to be community involved in the game

You are a suspect and will be named as so
He turned you into a perverted codename

portals seem to be a big issue when grouped together.
forgot i posted this on twitter but never on the canny
Ouch
Always remember to make Canny posts, even if they never get read by any human ever.
...like mine...
share it
Is there a way to see people that are banned so I can trim my friendlist of them?
i don't think so
[System Trust Legendary, BANNED]
Lol
there is a value on users when they get banned iirc
@vocal shard You mean share it here in this channel?
Idk...
i just feel bad removing
Same
@frozen trout just stick around until you see em again in game, thats what i do.
you can tell if they are bad people just by who they hang out with.
well hade some very much fun in vrchat , laughing so i almost lost my lunch
Usually I can tell right away if someone's a bad person or not lol
i'm a horrible person π
I only friend someone if i can trust them from the get go anyways.
Or block them if they don't say hi
And yea sorry about that roll
It happens.
if im gona friend someone , i make sure thay are worth it
I clear out my list every month
if i dont remember you, chances are you dont care about me anyways.
I usually wait till I see the person 2 or 3 times
unless they're a Steam user, then you ain't getting anything π
π
I'm more specific when it comes to friending people. I actually need to have some sort of similarities with the person and I also instantly avoid people who recognize me as "the guy that made that world"
But what If they someone's only a VRchat discord user π€
hence my name on here so people dont need to ask.
Yea lol
If I ever make a world, which is pretty unlikely, I might not plaster my name on it
never really had people recognize me as "that guy that made that one world"
So, what if I were to say...oh hey, you're the guy from discord
Maybe my Discord but ehh
People who greet you with fangasming makes me wanna curl up into a ball and cringe. I have social anxiety like a mother f**ker
Not a priority
I've been recognized as "that guy who replies to any steam forums post" lol
just dont greet me with any of my achivements like its some sort of succing for attention
that makes it weird
i just wanna be normal
Yeah, I can see that
Same here
Probably
hey guys it's me dafirex [veteran] and I made deathrun notice me please
I'm not really socially awkward but at the same time if I'm viewed as a celebrity or someth I might just implode
Oh
@sterile drift just avoid publishing any maps if they are good and you will be fine. lmao
I had one person treat me like that (from YouTube). It really is an odd feeling that makes things weird. Luckily he sees us as normal friends now. Lol
too lazy to work on stuff
as soon as i started making content was as soon as i got socially anxious
I mean the most of do is rip Sun and Moon maps and probably stitch them together.
Not all that much
thats enough
As long as you don't bring it up who really cares, if they bring it up it's just another conversation point
woah, no way
@tidal aspen You should tell me how you have such a mindset without being so anxious.
But doesn't it get a bit obnoxious when its 24/7?
Or they wanna meet with a guy they see as a celebrity
I join 3 out of 5 pug instances and people notice me. I don't like that.
but on the other hand i also like making content.
its like my brain hates me
that shrug is enough to tell me its all in my head, but it doesnt really help. π¦
and not really people don't really comment on it anyways in my case at least
i just want to find a way to think better about people approaching me, the way i see it is it takes me out of the thing i like to do most.
I honestly see people for who they are, not the status or what they've made
People watching and not being overly focused on conversation is what i like most.
Exactly
Same kinda
Although for what its worth, i dont get much of that,
I usually don't spark conversation
I would use my alt account, but that just sucks away all my friends.
Ouch
I would do that, but it later then turns into. "Hey why are you ignoring me" the next time around
which is even more stress inducing
oof
I even wanted to ask the devs for an "appear offline" feature for people dealing with constant people joining on you.
I want that
they seem too busy to care about smaller things though.
You don't seem great in short term social interactions
I dont
Appear offline would be a nice feature honestly
i already said this
Vrchat is like my way of trying to get over it
but its become more of a challenge than a help
CtrlShiftGo what kind of keyboard shortcut is that?
Go key? π€
Setting my status to busy has helped with that a little bit.
Ik
Social anxiety disorder or a variation of it*?*
What is the Go key
Enter prolly
Figured
π€
But what it do
You have to have a french/canadian keyboard π
Ahhhh
Ah
Ohh
What it do though
π€·

keyboards should have the any key that my game keeps hinting to
Lol
@cyan crag you can talk here cant you?
It's a compat
But yeah, kinda peeves me out when i cant relax in game unless its a private world
Yea I can understand your stress
usually ends in me leaving to play another game like rocket league because im anxious
wait did someone say the go key
If you have trouble in social situations and people keep coming up to you, it can get really overwhelming
ye
γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄γ΄

@sterile drift sorry i had to go, share what ?
the canny thing ?
yeah share it here
or in #feature-requests eventually
Yea
should mention it in bug-report too tbh
everywhere
Or just leave it here and post there as well
Got it
time to use this exploit to crash people with particles while it's still possible 
Everything looks so tempting to buy
The wireless adapter, the trackers, the audio deluxe strap
the trackers are probably the best choice here
Those were the ones I was leaning towards and plan on buying first
The wireless adapter looks cool as well, especially if I want to dance and such in full body
get it after the full body tracking
2.5-4 hours of gameplay per charge though, yikes
I usually donβt stay in vr past 4 but still
dunno, but since i see a lot of complains about that, it's clearly not enough
they should make it so you can at least switch batteries, like the rift
Yep
Would be nice
I know some people who strap battery banks to themselves, but it's not very practical
6 hours is all you get? Iβve never ran out of battery on my controllers before
Almost makes me feel like I should be getting a rift now
they are honestly better IMO
way more comfortable controllers
batteries last way longer and you can just switch them
and you can use the vive tracker for FBT with it too
i don't know honestly
to be fair
the knuckles are coming soon for the vive
so you will at least have decent controllers too
I mentioned this yesterday but seriously, Iβve tried both. I burrowed my friends oculus for awhile and when using it everyone said I need to buy a Vive, not an oculus. So thatβs what I did, bought the Vive. Now itβs reversed suddenly
and that wireless thing also work for the rift too
but you need to fiddle a bit with it
i tested both too
i always suggested the rift to everyone
for me it's way more comfortable on the head
and controllers feels so much better
When are these knuckles controllers gonna be released?
Will they be compatible with VRChat because I donβt wanna be messing around with it again
Also what an adorable emote
Theyβre gonna be so damn expensive omg
Nah, Valve makes them
Is that a ruuubick 
Praying they have longer battery life although that still isnβt an issue for me
Doesnβt hurt
I could see 200β¬ for the two, maybe 250
Ruuubick do a dab, show the non believers your true strength 
Hl3 cough
If Ruuubick dabs half of the universe server gets yeeted.
L4d and portal
perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Theres a lot of these actually
If ruuubick dabs i will record a video of myself biting in my shoe.
valve hate everything related to 3
Dabbing in late 2018 
D O I T


My self worth > your entertainment 
hates on dabbing
uses laughing emoji

Im so close to pinging tupper for a dab and catching that one month

cause ruuubick isnt delivering 
Rubwhips
Ruuubick I am disappoint
#RuuubickDab2018
I like how people always ping Tupper first
im not pinging vr pill dude
i can live with one month
Have you seen that face
but not the perma
yo guys
we heard you liked anime
this is nuts
kinda happy this exists now, people can stop taking mmd's now and make their own
What is it? Am on phone cant really translate it
Its an anime avatar maker without the 3D modeling needed
literally like ms paint and an in game character maker
you edit the textures by drawing on it and you also use sliders to edit the body
also the DL is in english from what i saw
Wait, it's free and already ready for use?
been out for a while
God bless all these VR obsessed Japanese otakus
@vocal shard not sure, although you could subdivide if you plan on using it for other reasons than vrchat.
from the previews it looks low poly
@median basalt @
i downloaded it but it crashed already lol
waiting when im not rendering a fk ton of stuff
Ouch
Lol
Heh, like the kids care
β¬βββ¬ γ( γ-γγ) There you go
I love how people have literally no tolerance for swearing sometimes.
Might damnit VRCBot*!*
I love swearing
It's so funny.
same
i just dont wanna get banned
From my experience, mostly kids swear
cause i could get really offensive, but i catch myself
Are Just dance maps broken ? 
Getting rubwhipped.
Many just don't wanna get π
I don't wanna get the clap because I like helping people in here
and i shit talk all the goddamn time
Online things which ban swearing miss the entire point of language
H E C K
You can be offensive without swearing and the other way around
F R I C K
OOF
rule 3. Excessive profanity, especially when directed at others is prohibited
Roll is gonna get yolked.
lol
Prohibited? Well, I think Tupper is cool as fuck
Are we talking about swearing in text or swearing while talking
I think my point is that words don't matter, just how you use them
@small wing thank you for sharing that link
Actually, the meaning behind words
The sentence "I will stab you in your sleep" doesn't include swear words, but you shouldn't tell it to people
Well, whatever, I'm off to sleep
peck
Good night
^
Oh fluffing cupcakes, those Goodness Gracious Adventitious She-dogs*!*
But it's not swearing!
you can say "you should get stabbed in your sleep" is actually more acceptable and legally allowed apparently
@vocal shard You take that back.
how good is Driver4VR with kinect?
I won't π
Yes, that is allowed, but it's worse than swearing to me
I'm off for real now, laters
Would it work for kicking though?
not really
can't make movement too fast
Actually, now that I think about it, the Scotsman voice acted by John DiMaggio from Samurai Jack might have been the first Cartoon Network character to say Soyboy and SheDog π€
you have some pretty heavy delay too
you can't turn around
you need to face the kinect at all time
and sitting is barely near to impossible
the scotsman is one of the best character of all time
ok thanks so full body tracking is only any good wth htc?
I dont take it that anybodys ever replicated the vive sensors, right?
if you wactually want proper full body tracking
get the vive trackers
if you can get the whole kinect setup for less than 30 bucks then ig uess it's "good enough"
if you pay more than 30 bucks then it's not worth it
He is pretty much a reincarnation of Jack if he was an extrovert xD
the vive tracker sensors are fucking expensive
would only be economical to copy at large scale
everything vive is expensive anyway
$10 a sensor (each little flat bit on vive tracked devices)
so you can't really escape that
oculus has no full body tracking option... only the kinect one π
22 on one tracker = $220 for a prototype without scale or other components involved
Vive trackers + oculus
^
does it work?
But really though, I know that the Scotsmans wife had child bearing thighs, but how did all of their 50 daughter's become perfections π€ ... Celtic training and magic probably...
I just cant justify spending 300 dollars on that
In the end, it's about $100 more than a vive fbt set
Same Kirin
rift + vive trackers is the best combo honestly
And... That topic is long dead, I'm like a weirdo now..
I'd get it if more games supported fbt
but spending $400 on VRChat is gonna be a no from me dawg
Definitely, vrchat is a good game and all but its a f2p
i spent hours and hours playig the game and even more making models
it's honestly worth it for me
The Show was awesome through and through, missed sleep hours just so I could watch the entire series before the last season...
I'd rather put that $400 towards a new graphics card
i bought an oculus, vive, and fbt for this game ._.
damn
and i have no income, i'm really dumb
And then I watched pirated versions of the last seasons while they were airing and realized how rushed it was...
that's like $1200 in hardware right there
ye
the last season was fine tbh
i'm just happy that we finally got a conclusion
Yeah, it was good but rushed...
Does it work just as good? Or does it lose tracking sometimes?
I saved for 4 paychecks and bought a vive, waited 3 months for it to be available
@viral yacht work as good
just annoying to setup for the first time
cuz you need to calibrate the play space
so the rift with its controllers, and vive trackers and lighthouse.
Lemme just get both vr sets
the ultimate combo right now
or just htc vive full kit, which is cheaper?
you need 3 trackers + 1 light house for the vive trackers to work with rift
if you get 2 lighthouse it's even better
Actually I donβt need the oculus
I wonder what happened to the other Jack that was sent to the future though, he probably becomes the Future King Jack for all that we know...
fbt is more expensive on rift since you need the extra lighthouse
but the Vive is more expensive than the rift
so the cost kind of evens out
100 more than the rift, right?
the vive tracker + rift is like only 100bucks more expensive that the vive full package
yeah
Has anyone actually had their Vive controllers die on them in game?
but the rift controllers are better?
rift controllers are way better
Really? How long were they playing for?
Happens to my friends with Vive's all the time
they are comfortable AF
and yes oculus touch > vive wands
My first vive came with a controller that burned out within 5 minutes of me moving
when is was fully into vrchat
i play for like 6 to 8 hours a day
i had to change my batteries every 7-8 days
I donβt think I can sit in the Vive headset that long
Same here Svel, never had any battery issues
So maybe thatβs why my Vive controller donβt die on me
the vive controllers last for about 6 hours
After i got my new vive i havent had any issues
I get about 2 bars in 4 hours
but if they run out while your playing, you gotta stop playing and let them charge. With rift you just pop in a new battery and you're good to go
but the rift with htc trackers, how compatable would that be wth future games? or is it likely only vr chat?
hard to say, since basically no games other than VRChat support them right now
I usually only play 4 hours at a time before I need to take a break
I usually play an hour or two before i need to take a break, idk why i get sick every time
could you have the rift controllers work with the htc vive xD?
Its only vrchat i get sick in
I don't think so
there's no point i doing that lol
plus why would you want to
rift controllers only work with the rift hmd active
Maybe one day Iβll invest in having both headsets
But for now Vive works perfectly fine for me
two heads?
There's not much point in having a second headset outside of one for travel
i just have my oculus for VR dev in my living room atm
and stuff like that, yeah
it would play travel when i start moving around a bit
Two vr headsets you can be Cho'Gall
If I start doing my βsecond jobβ which wasnβt even a job at the time, Iβll be making enough to buy extras like that
Because oculus is apparently better all of a sudden
When i was always told get the Vive
It's literally the controllers
Rift is better because of the controllers and the Oculus Dash thing, but odds are your experience will be close to the same, not worth having a second headset for sure
you are holding the controllers for hours, so it's kinda important
Vive was always the go to before, but as rift developed more room scale suport, and the controllers, rift slowey overtook vive for popularity
that and those valve knuckle things are coming out, so even more "why buy a second headset"
Vive has better tracking on paper, but in practice you can't really tell the difference. That's probably why you were told the vive was better
the headsets themselves are virtually identical when it comes to resolution and FoV
So what if I get into vr more often and such and want to play for 6+ plus, without my controllers dying
and in term of tracking, vive is apparently better but you will barely notice any difference if you even notice it while playing
So, either you A: Pay 400+ for a new headset
or B: Buy battery packs for the one you already have
i think its the rift plus kinect for me π as i get a discount on the rift from the store i work at. π
Mysticcia in that case you want the rift
controllers last longer and it takes 2 seconds to change out the batteries
there is no reason not tho if you even get a discount
You're literally buying a headset just for the controllers when you could just get the Valve Knuckles, or just get a battery pack.
I'll probably end up switching to the rift. I fell in love with the touch controllers
since you get a discount, if you get the vive trackers the final price will be the same anyway
only 10% but 20% at xmas
get the valve knuckles
no release date
this is a "what if in the future I want...." idea anyway
it should be soon since they delivered some of them for testing purpose last month
when they've got another job and if they end up getting into VR more.
I know some of the vrchat devs have a pair of knuckles for testing purposes
If you've already got a Vive and your only issue the the controllers not lasting that long, buying another headset seems silly when you can just get a battery pack.
and yeah, if you already have a Vive it's hard to justify buying a rift just for controllers
they seem to be pretty finished from what I've seen
I get not everyone wants do the long USB charger thing like I do, but buying a whole headset is silly lol
lol yeah good point Jamie
I wanna see what Oculus has in store for next gen controllers
They showed off some really cool stuff with the half dome prototype, but no controllers
So get two battery packs
Iβm honestly so confused
controllers last like 8 hours
you don't need to get that unless you're like living in vr
Yeah 6 to 8 seems to be about it
I mean I just sit down and charge them while I play, it's not really hard...
Anyone have an issue with the game always moving your cursor up and left?
it's defo longer than 6
It happens on my laptop in desktop
@prime ether USb controller plugged in?
Nope
trackers last 5, i usually have 2 dots when they die
that's a mystery
I thought my trackpad was fucked
So I plugged in a mouse
And disabled the trackpack
And it still does it
Soooo
i've never heard of it happening without a controller plugged in, weird
did it happen after you installed them?
oh, then yeah try messing with that
@viral yacht there's not much to be confused about. If your only issue is battery life in a controller, just sit down and plug them in for a bit, you can even do it standing.
every reasonable solution possible is cheaper than buying a second headset. long USB, battery packs, a second pair of controllers
you can play while they're charging if you really feel inclined to
You can buy portable batteries
And a fanny pack
And charge them without being connected to a wall
yeah, I play while mine charge. Probably depends on the plug you have but they charge just as fast as if I wasn't playing, I've tested it out

the difference is something like 10-15 minutes
you can attach two battery packs onto your arms and keep the controllers charging so you look like a robot
what a sight
a dude with a giant box strapped to his face, weird ass controllers, 3 weird shaped plastic bullshit strapped on him and a fanny pack with batteries in it
I'm glad I live alone lol
then your crawling on the floor and petting nvsible things.
I'll probably look liek a proto-type of that when i get my trackers
1 USB in each controller and tracker
then the headset, not wireless
will only look stranger as more peripherals come to the market, a person weirding a headset on his face with a wireless adapter on the top of his head wearing a thick large vest while on a giant omnidirectional treadmill
^that would look way cool.
and loud AF
fbt + omni treadmill would be the ultimate in immersion
exactly that
which one?
that would be cool, all the ones we have for now are super loud or awkward
it's more the sound that annoys me
i play at night
you can't use that shit at night
I can, cuz I don't have to worry about waking anyone up
well even with headphones, they seem loud enough you'd head it
you live in a house ?
cuz if i drop a fucking pin in my apartment, people can hear it 3 floors above me
I live in an apartment. Never had any complaints, even when being fairly loud in VRChat at 3 am. The walls are pretty thick where I live
The vive has a pretty bad mic, does anyone use an external one when they chat in vr?
yeah, you can plug in a headset
yeah, i heard the vive mic is pretty bad
you can easily hear when someone is breathing in it
Ive got a blue yeti, but im worried about hitting it when i do vrchat with its arm extended
oh, is it on a stand or are you sitting? just change the output
you need to be pretty close to it, no ?
good thing I live on the bottom floor
Is playing seated reccomended?
I mean it's whatever really
You can play seated or standing, there isn't a recommended way to play
that's up to your preference
I see
standing will be more immersive though
I was just curious because you might have truble using the yeti if you're standing and moving a lot
the only way recommended by devs (/s) is playing while wearing thigh highs
why did i never consider that...
Idk
My friend thought plugging in his earbuds to the chord for sound was what his voice was going through, not the actual Vive mic
what's a modmic ?
it's a little mic you can attach to stuff
i see
I remember seeing some technology that lets you sit without a chair
And you can stick it to a hmd
seems pretty usefull
Yup
Are the thigh highs medically prescribed?
No
Just the 7$ ones from amazon
offended
cheapies from amazon, no thanks
They work fine
we only wear the finest in sock technology https://www.sockdreams.com/
Who am i kidding i have a Ryuko cosplay thigh highs are nothing
ergonomically designed to keep me from getting cold while i blast the AC 24/7
thanks for that, mic
hello does anyone know if senjou no valkyria avatars exist?
Valkyria Chronicles for literally everyone else
do you know off any?
theres some mmds on deviantart, not sure of a world
i'd just do a search for "valkyria" in worlds
If anyone knows how to fix body tracking for vive i posted a help question in body tracking
thank you currently just got it
probably not then
sorry im not really good at that...
off the top of my head, it's really only pressing like....
8 buttons?
Fix Model, visemes, eye tracking, export
there's lots of good videos on it
and once yo uget the hang of it you can have whatever you want
Aaaa
No
Dont use cats autoblink
Its garbage
Manually animate your blinking
So you dont get that weird eye lid clipping problem
I'm starting a blacklist, and Nagzz21 is the first one on it. If you see him, block him. His streams are toxic trash, so don't watch those either.
how to get banned from discord, by "Sammie
all you've done, at best, is increase traffic to him and probably get yourself blocked lol
@rigid crescent he deserves it for biting the hand that feeds him
lol
You never diss your donators
ok
I'm sure you'll have no impact on his hundreds of current viewers that increased once you put his name here and made people curious about what he did
He's an asshole and they'll figure it out soon enough
lol
If not from my warning, they'll figure it out the hard way
sure sure
D R A M π€£
I didn't know who he was til now
