vrchat-general-2

[queen mango]

Just a reference..

But it's the best I found for the value it brings

[twin jacinth]

It's not a bad price though

[hollow umbra]

Do you plan to buy it

[tiny ginkgo]

Yeah it's very good value

[queen mango]

Not yet

[hollow umbra]

Pc building is quite tricky if you have fat finger or delicate hands

[twin jacinth]

If it sits it fits
It's pretty easy

[tiny ginkgo]

I have delicate hands though and I like fiddling with it x)

[hollow umbra]

You need strong normal hands to build one

[tiny ginkgo]

I... mine is fine and my hands are not strong 😛

I feel they actually help me insert the parts carefully

and all the little screws and such

I think anyone can build a pc

It's probably a little tough without hands at all, but I think everyone can do it

[hollow umbra]

Did you have to lift your pc case

Some can weigh 30 pounds or more

[tiny ginkgo]

I got a lightweight case that filters out noise as well

[twin jacinth]

Everyone can build a pc unless they have a disability tbh

[tiny ginkgo]

My setup is almost nearly 100% silent

And it's white and almost invisible..

I hate cables.. My VR gear is also hung in the ceiling with white cables

[twin jacinth]

I want to buy wireless but is expensive

[queen mango]

Cables are a big oof.. especially long ones

[hollow umbra]

My friend can’t build one because his hands are the size of baseball gloves

[twin jacinth]

IS he a giant?

[queen mango]

Your extremities tend to get stuck on those wires and the things start getting dragged along with you

Not to mention the mini-heart attacks it gives to you each time

And wait.. big hands?

[hollow umbra]

Yes

He’s taller than his dad who is taller than most adults

[twin jacinth]

he is a giant

basically?

[hollow umbra]

Yes

[queen mango]

Oh man..

[glossy wharf]

@tiny ginkgo i slept in? I slept fucking 6 hours lmao

[tiny ginkgo]

Yes and I slept 4 you snoozyhead

[twin jacinth]

I slept like 3-5
I'm not sure i went to bed at 1:00 but couldnt sleep at all

up at 7:00

[glossy wharf]

@tiny ginkgo

[tiny ginkgo]

[rustic perch]

x)

[twin jacinth]

Wow Sai, you're giving out free hugs?
what happened, are you okay?

[rustic perch]

who are giving ?

[queen mango]

I feel like I slept 6 hours this day.

Starting at 12:30 AM

[rustic perch]

xd

[twin jacinth]

I feel like i might've slept 3-4 hours
I was tired af and it hurt a lot looking at lights, which indicates i didn't sleep enough >.<

[glossy wharf]

@twin jacinth its chrysler

[rustic perch]

for myself 10 hours

[twin jacinth]

[queen mango]

[glossy wharf]

Merry chrysler

[twin jacinth]

[queen mango]

I don't got enough money to buy individual PC parts yet

[twin jacinth]

Noooooooo

[queen mango]

It's alright..

[glossy wharf]

What system u administrating

@safe marsh

[twin jacinth]

You sai so you don't go overboard

[safe marsh]

I maintain the Windows Servers of several companies here. Ensuring everything is smooth runing and whatnot and being here for any need that might rise up, also a lot of SQL maintenance, since we work with a lot of Software for managing.

and since most companies that work with us are working today...we sort of have to be here to be ready for anything .w.

albeit not a single phone call in 2h

[tiny ginkgo]

Do you get extra pay?

[safe marsh]

for being here today? nay

[tiny ginkgo]

That's rough

I hope you get out soon

[civic plume]

ok the bugs and server issues are starting to get to me now..

this game is becoming uncomfortable XD

[safe marsh]

i haven't had any issues for the longest time ..

neither my group of friends

[warped dew]

Ugh

people are abusing a feature and are forcably disconnecting people

[glossy wharf]

Its been a thing for a long time

[umbral reef]

Abusing an exploit*

[glossy wharf]

Nothing new

[idle cipher]

my god why does the game keep crashing for me

[umbral reef]

We dont know unless you provide us information

[warped dew]

Where are the logs stored so i can

[queen mango]

!outputlog

[floral flax]

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt

[civic plume]

we need to legitimately get together and agree that vrchat is falling apart at the moment. BUT not for long. its the 2017.4 leap and this will be fixed but i hope they stay dedicated and work hard to solve the issues

[umbral reef]

@warped dew i was more talking to kenny ;p
We cant solve is crashing if he doesnt give us more information

In your cause you know its from people using an exploit to log you out or crashing you.
For the second one (what will just freeze the game instantly) you can sitll make a report with the outputlog and maybe get them banned for doing it.

[safe marsh]

runs perfect for me

[umbral reef]

This happened also last christmas so eh-

[civic plume]

heartlexx 💜 hey!

[safe marsh]

The only problem i have and it happens very rarely is a very slow world download..and thats it

Hai~

[idle cipher]

it's happens randomly since the chair and avatar copying update

[safe marsh]

which leads to the question, have u tried to verify your cache or reinstalling in general?

[idle cipher]

who me?

[serene talon]

yeah I just got disconnected again too

It's becoming uncomfy and too repetitive

I could barely survive even being in home

[ruby burrow]

To be more precise, VR-Chat isn't falling apart. A small group of childish assholes are actively trying to rip it apart.

Throwing a tantrum over being punished for past bad behaviour, and now treating both the devs and the game itself like their enemy.

A game doesn't DDOS itself.

[queen mango]

Guess they never learn

Either that, or they want to make sure everyone becomes miserable, with no thought as to how it would affect the perpetrators.

[ruby burrow]

From what a friend has told me, there are individuals out there that deliberately try to start rumours and spread misinformation, and otherwise shit talk the game at every opportunity. Trying to bring down the overall morale of the community.

I don't understand what their end goal is supposed to be, if any.

[queen mango]

That's probably the point.

By sowing doubt among people, a community falls apart

Not to mention.. a lot of people here do not know who they can rely on for information regarding this game.

[safe prism]

A game can totally DDoS itself

[queen mango]

Take a look at Pan's Virtual Week-ality for example.. No-one's visiting it

[safe prism]

I’ve DDoSed my own app servers by accidentally introducing a bug, it’s a harmless mistake

[queen mango]

Hmm.. server-side bugs?

[umbral reef]

those get solved ezpz though

[safe prism]

If you have enough control and visibility to know it’s happening, yes

But this is photon we’re talking

[queen mango]

Yea but, we're just a small number keeping up to date compared to so many VRChatters outthere.

Yea..

Is there a canny post about it?

Like.. they should integrate Pan's Virtual Week-ality posts into the UI itself... well, if there is a ”News” tab.

Because right now, he's one of the very few VRJournalists out there

[umbral reef]

Well féz
i am atleast planning to make a place for most rumors and to factually debunk most of them within our community docs

But its a shit ton of work to make that

Then we have atleast soemthing we can just spam post to educate users

[queen mango]

Oh man, people like that

[long venture]

[queen mango]

[civic plume]

its great to see that converting to a vrc user it does not carry over your rank. lol

[queen mango]

Should remain in Community

I doubt they would be aware of that kind of thing

[long venture]

I thought it does carry over

[queen mango]

It HAS to be integrated

I mean, considering what happened in the beginning of November.. it should be clear by now that so many people in VRChat are unaware of the news

[ripe parrot]

I just wanted to ask, where do I find the zoom in or the screen shake shader?

[rigid crescent]

lol

[queen mango]

Dude no

[rigid crescent]

stop, just dpnt go down that road, only gets uyou blocked

[tiny ginkgo]

Hiii

I wish I could hug you all

I hope you find a nice snowy world in vr

[final fulcrum]

You too friend

[tiny ginkgo]

I also hope you all feel love today.

hug @final fulcrum

[earnest harbor]

aanyone else having issues with favourite avatars not loading?

[vital rune]

Favorite Avatars are completely damn kaput

[queen mango]

I think it happens more often when internet speeds are slow, Gold

[south viper]

login is hosed again I see

[safe marsh]

people that think making others screen shake n shit are fun

Unless you are doing it just with good friends for a small laugh have fun. Else it's easier to just go up to strangers and ask to get blocked, saves you the trouble

[near saffron]

Let me guess, someone went sicko mode?

[fresh merlin]

is it safe to delete the VRChat folder from LocalLow?

[novel drum]

yes it is, me and a few friends of mine have done so to clear our cache

[fresh merlin]

do i need to save anything from there?

[novel drum]

you actually need to delete the vrchat folder inside that folder so nothing bad happens

[fresh merlin]

Okay

thanks :3

[sonic imp]

I haven’t been able to play vrchat for a little over two weeks thanks to bugs. Really sad I didn’t get to enjoy all the Christmas stuff

[quiet river]

Not a lot of Christmas stuff on their anyways @sonic imp

[vocal shard]

Eve

[rigid raven]

Frohe Ostern

[polar bone]

Merry eve

[opaque hawk]

Not aimed at any specific person because I've already screen shared a few people who are guilty of this. Update your unity. We are not on 5.6 anymore and haven't been for weeks.

[rigid crescent]

yeah, being on 5.6 or .17f has been the answer to most unity issues

[opaque hawk]

it wasn't in this case. But it is still a problem.

I think the root of the problem is old tutorials linking directly to unity page of just people not knowing to update.

[rigid crescent]

ooooh true

[polar bone]

Yeah, like I want to tell people to look at tuppers tutorials but it's outdated now

[rigid crescent]

a new megatutoriall must take its place

[languid beacon]

brb deleting my tutorals

Entirely forgot they're on old unity

[vocal shard]

Nice 👌

[lapis nebula]

YouTube desperately needs VRChat world tutorials

A tutorial showing world creation from start to end would be perfect

[umbral reef]

They have one for making your own hub version

And if you mean more advance stuff- You need a full series for that 😂

[rigid crescent]

most world tutorials are ancient

[worthy swan]

Is anyone else getting logged out of VRC?

[earnest ermine]

I find that normal unity tutorials are good enough or better

as long as you know what is or isn't allowed to be used in vrc specifically

[vocal shard]

@worthy swan Hmmm, I got logged out about three minutes ago

Oop, now stuck in an infinite login loop

[zinc solar]

Some worlds are sad, then there's "Let's just H"

I went to this world, and soooooo many people are naked avatars on the bed. xD

This is pathetic and sad lmao

[languid beacon]

[near saffron]

Thats a yikes if it’s a public instance

[night lark]

hat kid and bow kid for vrchat

[rigid crescent]

I'm fairly sure there's avatars of both

They're a bit tricky to use though, they've got short arms. Lots of Toon Link models have the issue

[night lark]

im making both

working on bowkid rn, gonna be epicer than any other ones

[rigid crescent]

Yeah I have yet to see Bow Kid ingame

She's got a cute design though

[night lark]

image of current state of it in #3d-modeling

[zinc solar]

Yeeah, that world is Public with a 0/2 population. So it's basically like a public sex ad

[night lark]

gonna fix pupils, and add all hats

[zinc solar]

I actually went to one with 2 people in the middle of doing the do

[umbral reef]

This game at times

[zinc solar]

Someone should report the world. Really NSFW if public lobbies have neked people

I'm reporting all the peeps I come across right now, since nudity in public worlds is a no no

[near saffron]

Guess u can’t blame the world author for what people are doing in it unless it’s providing avatars or it’s pushing for that kind of stuff

[zinc solar]

It basically is, 2/2 world, bed, very sexual environment and settings. Bed, tub, shower. It's like trying to be a gateway of getting creeps together

[rigid crescent]

Passes Perf Check

lol nothing wrong with ERPing with your bro, i don't think it makes you a creep

But yeah in public that's no-good

[lunar zenith]

Ohhhh! I went to that world and some guy was whispering to me.. I got a little wierded out when he was trying to kiss my character.

[rigid crescent]

Mash that private portal button and make sure you're not on auto-invite 👌

[near saffron]

Yeah, don’t give a crap what people are up to in private instances

[zinc solar]

No, the world is public. People are naked in public lobbies in a world that has a 2 populationg

I was world hopping that world and some people are naked with avatars. I'm just reporting them all

[rigid crescent]

yeah, shouldn't be doing that in publics unless you're ok with being caught and banned

[magic mango]

are vrchat servers dead?

[delicate stump]

not for me

but sometimes it goes in a loop a bit

[zinc solar]

I'm saving VRChat from the ERP creeps trying to take it public, 1 report at a time

[lunar zenith]

How do you report?

[near saffron]

Isn’t there a ingame report system now?

[rigid crescent]

yeah

Just point at them and hit "Report User"

[umbral reef]

There is but best is to email [e-mail] with proof

[inner cape]

stuck in an infinite loading, cbb to restart

[rigid crescent]

my infinites usually resolve themselves....so i guess they're not infinite?

[magic mango]

how do you get trusted user?

[umbral reef]

Play the game

[torn nebula]

also upload some stuff

[neon flume]

and make some friends while you're at it

[umbral reef]

UUuuu you dont need to do that and it has not been proven to help so...

[neon flume]

It's not about the trusted rank at the end but the friends you make along the way

[torn nebula]

+1

who cares if you're trusted or not if everyone you really care about showing your avatar off to is yellow, eh?

[glass yacht]

Moos back : D

[near saffron]

Purple means nothing if ur not yellow for someone

[glass yacht]

hugs n moory christmoose everyone

n xstmoose

[rigid crescent]

what hasn't been proved to help?

"they have spent time making friends and making content" I mean....

[glossy wharf]

Uploading content for ranking

Im 90% sure it says that making worlds/avatars help increase score

[rigid crescent]

It's at least a bit implied that it helps.

[torn nebula]

the rumor I heard was it was a threshold thing, just like how you 100% cannot get new user without at least one friend

[rigid crescent]

Oh I haven't tested that. I friended myself as a meme on my alt

[median basalt]

So far I've had two alts where I got new user based on account age

[torn nebula]

oh? interesting

[median basalt]

Not even playtime, just account age.

[torn nebula]

when I started out I spent quite a while just exploring avatar worlds without friending anyone, the moment I eventually friended someone I instantly got new user ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rigid crescent]

yeah, upgrading is a mixed bag, but uploading content is at least implied to help according to Known and Trusted's definition

[glossy wharf]

"as you explore worlds, make friends, and create content, you will gain more Trust"

[magic mango]

No I mean howw to get trusted user

[median basalt]

RIP avatar world exploration now lol

[magic mango]

bcs here is a safety beta

[rigid crescent]

Play the game.

Upload content. Make Friends.

[torn nebula]

@magic mango explore worlds, make friends, create content, and don't get blocked by people too often?

[glossy wharf]

Trusted is gained by: "as you explore worlds, make friends, and create content, you will gain more Trust, "

[rigid crescent]

Blocking doesn't matter much tbh

[neon flume]

Yup that's what we were talking about. There's no special requirement for trusted afaik, just more of the same.

[median basalt]

Jawbones has been blocked by a lot of people and is Trusted

He got known'd for a small bit though

[torn nebula]

fair enough then

[umbral reef]

Talking about uploading content- Time to recall how the animation shit works again

[median basalt]

But you can get deranked by simply removing friends

[rigid crescent]

Yeah that's weird. I did test that and removed a solid 30+ people and saw nochanges

[median basalt]

I removed people on my alt and got demoted from User to new User

[torn nebula]

weird

[rigid crescent]

but I was probably so far into trusted that it didn't matter, at least that was my guess

[median basalt]

Yeah

[crisp ruin]

One of my friends removed someone and ranked up because of it

[near saffron]

Might of been a bad person?

[neon flume]

It's all about who you know

[crisp ruin]

Yeah

[languid scroll]

I got trusted at about 1100 hours with ~35 avatars and one public works

[torn nebula]

public works projects are important for building trust

[near saffron]

Not sure when I got it as I had it when the rank system came out

[rigid crescent]

I was trusted when the system went up

[crisp ruin]

Got trusted with 400 hours and a couple hundred avatars and two public worlds

[rigid crescent]

well veteran

[umbral reef]

Several people are typing

[near saffron]

Typing intensifies

[torn nebula]

grandfathered accounts might be a different ranking system

or just got initialized well into the trusted area

[spice meteor]

@glossy wharf

[dire cargo]

@glossy wharf

[languid scroll]

Ya seems to be a mix of all of them. I’ve had this account since September last year and didn’t get trusted until a few weeks ago

[lethal tulip]

@glossy wharf

[umbral reef]

Owmy whats happening

[rigid crescent]

No, the system was tracking months before the visible ranks

[zinc solar]

I'm just going around as a sprite cranberry avatar. spreading the christmas joy

[rigid crescent]

so everyone started off about the same, minus any static conditions they have

[crisp ruin]

Seems like it

[zinc solar]

No idea how I got trusted

[rigid crescent]

existing, basically how everyone got it 😛

[zinc solar]

I published 3 worlds, played for over 900 hours, 1k+ friends

[rigid crescent]

1k friends lol why

[zinc solar]

one of those got me it

[rigid crescent]

i'd hate that so much. i purge like every 2 or 3 months

[zinc solar]

People love me

Although I didn't count after the purge

[crisp ruin]

Can’t even remember 95% of my friends

[near saffron]

Same I purge mine sometimes , not a fan of a list filled with people I don’t really remember

[zinc solar]

A good portion of mine are sometimes rare appearances but I can remember a got lot of them

[torn nebula]

feels like a level between friend and unknown would be useful. maybe like a "mark as hoopy frood" button so they can get into your frood+ worlds but don't have to pretend to totally remember who they are the next time you see them in a new avatar

[rigid crescent]

I've got 129 and I probably hang out with 95% of the regularly while a few are just "polite" adds because they're friends of friends and I want thme to be able to join friends only rooms on the off chance I make one

If I don't interact with someone for extended lengths of time and they don't do the same, I just remove them after a few months. with some exceptions obviously.

[neon flume]

what is a "hoopy frood" 😶

[zinc solar]

I always remember friends on what makes them special

[torn nebula]

@neon flume go read the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

[rigid crescent]

But I'd consider myself actual friends with most people on the list and not just "hey we added eachother"

[torn nebula]

http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-definition-of/hoopy-frood

[neon flume]

Ahh right I should still do that. I think I've only seen the movie.

[umbral reef]

[queen mango]

Welp...

[vocal shard]

[bitter bone]

Which version of unity do I need for VRC now? I haven't opened anything in some time but I kinda wanna poke around a bit, so it's time to get updating.

[indigo spear]

i can't 🦆 ing wait until my oculus (im getting it tommorow)

[jovial ivy]

@bitter bone Unity 2017.4 15f1

[bitter bone]

thanks xD

[jovial ivy]

youre welcome

[bitter bone]

@indigo spear Super congrats! Merry Christmas my dude. I gave a friend of mine an old dev WMR headset and he's getting a vive tomorrow as well lol

Just because things are easily hacked doesn't mean they should be*

[indigo spear]

@bitter bone im paying all for it

[bitter bone]

Still an xmas present to you lol

[indigo spear]

i know i still have the old version in unity so i just made it 30K

cuz i have like 26K polygons

@bitter bone i hope me and that dev can sleep atleast lol

[bitter bone]

ohhh wait I didn't read that right

They officially upped it from 30 to 75?

[indigo spear]

lol

[bitter bone]

Holy llamas. That's great news. Also just discovered there's the existence of a swear filter.

That's good, I need to curb my swearing anyway lmao

[indigo spear]

no it was 20K but now its 75K but i have the old version of the sdk and unity so its still 20K for me so i just changed it to 30K

[bitter bone]

oh

It's been a long time since I've done anything, can't rememebr nothing anymore

I need to figure out texturing so I can smooth my poly and make things look and run good

[indigo spear]

xD i just took today to get me 10 euro's to get my oculus and to get a new avatar

[bitter bone]

Yesterday I remembered projecting UVs based off the camera angle and it was a complete AHA in the middle of nowhere

[errant vault]

Just mark seams

[bitter bone]

Lemme take my sweet time to get back into modeling before I start asking questions again lol

I always ask questions in advance and never do it because I plan too much instead of just letting it flow

[indigo spear]

lol

[errant vault]

The pfp has lots of marked seams for uv painting

[umbral reef]

@indigo spear Its 70K btw not 75K

[indigo spear]

oh

now its silence

[bitter bone]

installling stufff

[indigo spear]

whatja installing?

[bitter bone]

newest unity

last I played was before the 2017 update

[indigo spear]

ah

xd

[indigo spear]

[civic plume]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE 💜💜💜

[indigo spear]

not yet xD

still 8 mins

[sleek lintel]

I went from Known user to only User, do someone know why?¨

[indigo spear]

nope :I

in vrchat or in the discorD?

[sleek lintel]

I'm sad now.. I haven't done anything.

Vrchat

[indigo spear]

i dunno :I

sad

[sleek lintel]

Ikr

[indigo spear]

wanna see my avatar?

that took me about the whole day?

[sleek lintel]

Sure

[rigid crescent]

ranks fluctuate i guess

they've mentioned that

[umbral reef]

Welp lets pray i understand this new animation shit
Gonna find out tomorrow

I prob totally scuffed it so yeat

[sleek lintel]

@rigid crescent Whar do you mean?

[vast tulip]

@indigo spear I'm pretty sure the limit is 70k, not 20k 🤔 , also, please don't discuss modified clients

[rigid crescent]

"We can easily adjust the way we calculate this value, so we can tweak it as time goes on."

[true sky]

@rigid crescent only way you get deranked is usually:

1. Most people turned your avatar for them off
2. Blocked/muted
3. Reported by several people in app.

[sleek lintel]

How do I know whay I deranked?

[rigid crescent]

You don't/wonk, and I'm gonna be honest, I can think of more cases than not where those things aren't true at all

[indigo spear]

@vast tulip im using the old version of unity and the old version of vrsdk

vrcsdk

[vast tulip]

@true sky blocking an avatar, as far as I know, has no bearing on safety score

[true sky]

@vast tulip k

[rigid crescent]

The main, confirmed way I've heard of getting deranked is removing friends. There's people blocked by hundreds that are trusted/veteran, and deranking via report woudl have to be manual since that's extra easy to abuse

[true sky]

Not sure how it's calculated, but taking an estimated guess as we dont 100% know how the ranks are calculated.

[tacit plank]

You can get troll rank by blocks/mutes, but I don't know if you can derank on it

[rigid crescent]

it must take a lot to get troll rank then

[tacit plank]

Well, troll rank might also have been kicks

[rigid crescent]

yeah could be that

[tacit plank]

Or maybe you just can't get troll rank past some rank

[true sky]

@tacit plank just go around and mic spam in every lobby will get you to troll rank, aka nuisance

[tacit plank]

Yeah, but is that from votekicks, mutes or blocks?

[indigo spear]

@vast tulip im using the old version of unity and the old version of vrcsdk so no worry's of me using a moddel client

[languid beacon]

is it better to use T posed avatar, or A posed?

[rigid crescent]

I mean you already talked about modding the SDK though

[true sky]

Most nuisances I've seen are mic spammers or shit talkers/racists

There is a rare occasion it's someone who is under 13

[tacit plank]

So, probably mutes

[stone current]

use t pose

or pose a pose avatar into t pose

bc humanoid mapper uses t pose only

so if it messes up bone rotations on enforce tpose it easier to fix

if already in t pose

[sleek lintel]

What I know I haven't got blocked by many people, I don't have crash avatars and I've been nice so I don't think people have report me but something must happend because i am user now..

[indigo spear]

why did mine get deleted?

[vast tulip]

Please don't discuss modified sdks

[stone current]

only modified doggo armor

[indigo spear]

[rigid crescent]

ranks just fluctuate, no one can really know why your rank changed probably not even the devs tbh lol

[stone current]

that konkles got a broken necc

[true sky]

@sleek lintel I think it only happens if you unfriend alot of people and remove several public avatars.

[umbral reef]

@vast tulip |Just a question
Have you guys been told to get more active within here after that canny.io post?

[sleek lintel]

@lego Thank you, I deleted many friends yesterday so maybe that's it.

[rigid crescent]

Oh, that's almost it for sure

[sleek lintel]

@true sky

[indigo spear]

happy christmas u guys its 12:13 AM for me so...

[umbral reef]

@indigo spear Happy Xmas

[true sky]

5:14pm Happy Christmas Eve :(

[indigo spear]

:I

[umbral reef]

Wait shit- Its also the 25th for me

[indigo spear]

when i wake up at about 10:30 hopefully everybody awake so i can get my oculus earlyer

[vast tulip]

@umbral reef we can be pinged now so that helps. It's an issue of exposure more then anything

[indigo spear]

but ima just roll outa here cuz ima go sleeps bye! 😛

[umbral reef]

Thats not really a* respondse to my question--
But oki

[true sky]

[bitter bone]

Finally updating the SDK yaaay xD

[vocal shard]

Yay

[bitter bone]

Importing a 5.6 project to 2017 takes literally years

[true sky]

I think I still have my update sdk meme around, but that's for #general-media

[umbral reef]

I am 99% sure what i think is true anyway-
Doubt all normal chat mods for the first time this year get active all around the same two days 👀

[rigid crescent]

yeah, takes a while

[true sky]

It's gotten to the point 3 people were spamming pepe emotes

[rigid crescent]

:0 ive seen you around shinowe, mimi

You're Text to Speech rite?

[true sky]

And didn't want to risk pinging admins

[umbral reef]

@true sky Lmao- Its so bad that no regular knows who is a chat mod and who isnt-

We all know pandan but thats it really*

[true sky]

There was a canny open about how moderations was here. Maybe tell them to add ping senior chat mods as a thing

:)

[umbral reef]

the chatmod ping also pings senior boys

And the change so we can ping normal chat mods happened thanks to the post

But thats imo the least effort thing they could have done beside yelling at them what i assume also happened with the result we got

[safe marsh]

[vast tulip]

@rigid crescent yep

[rigid crescent]

One of the only tan anime girl models I've seen and I've been playing for a year, so it's mainly just been me seeing myself in the mirror lol

[languid beacon]

Free up some drawcalls. https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/the-friend-icon-on-nameplates-is-no-longer-needed-because-friends-are-yellow

[umbral reef]

Adeon stop using logic in here 😠

We dont want those filthy logical things suggested in here!

[vast tulip]

@rigid crescent im not good with names, so I would probably know who you were if I saw your Avatar :p

[stone current]

wow amazing

isnt whole thing just one material

atlasd

[true sky]

Opened a canny since logout exploit can hang you in a login loop now:
https://vrchat.canny.io/bug-reports/p/logout-exploit-3

Since reloging in was patched

[languid beacon]

That's not an exploit, that's just the auth server not responding.

[true sky]

Failing to grab session token?

[languid beacon]

You don't know what you're talking about.

[rigid crescent]

https://puu.sh/CldwZ/3d2ad23801.png I've only been in a room with you a few times, so maybe not, but here's mine

[umbral reef]

@rigid crescent We still need to meet within VRC man- You playing after xmas?

[true sky]

Best way to reproduce is usually in The Box

[rigid crescent]

I'm playing all the time m8

[languid beacon]

It has nothing to do with what world you are in and has nothing to do with an exploit.

[rigid crescent]

I think i've no-life clocked like...150+hours this week since no work lol

[umbral reef]

👀
Well, its more for me as i barely play man

Got jack shit energy to do anything all day

[rigid crescent]

smh old man

yeah lego that's literally the loop everyone is talking about...

[true sky]

^

[umbral reef]

Not even 20 and i get bullied for being old

[true sky]

@rigid crescent still get the old blank error message when relogging in was annoying

[warm swallow]

🤔

[rigid crescent]

so far my loops have resolved themselves

[vast tulip]

@rigid crescent well you remember me so I should recognize you!

[true sky]

It's funny how most of them use modded clients to achieve this malicious behavior

[languid beacon]

@true sky It has nothing do with hacks or exploits, stop spreading misinformation. You've been doing this the past few days, with false canaries and such. I've just been watching silent but it's getting annoying.

[rigid crescent]

the logout thing isn't part of the modded client

[pliant prawn]

Got 'em

[rigid crescent]

like you're literally wrong about a lot of this and clogging up the canny with bad info lol

or only partially correct in some cases

[limber anvil]

so when did vrchat get on the oculus store?

and since i have an oculus should i reinstall there?

[umbral reef]

Its best to
Means you wont have to run SteamVR what means better performance

[limber anvil]

and i dont really plan to switch to vive yet until after their knuckles ev2 controllers come out

looks interesting

but does that mean my vive trackers wont work?

[tacit plank]

Exploits are related to logging people out, but the login loop and such are the servers being overloaded

[vast tulip]

@limber anvil if you need anything that uses light houses you need steam vr

[opaque hawk]

@rigid crescent one of my friends in this game makes his models reflect his irl skin tone. So he runs around with a brown skinned cat girl. He actually made a Christmas angel version of himself for me to use in my worlds.

[vast tulip]

My avatar is based on me as much as anime style can :p. It's more immersive to me

@opaque hawk

[worn turtle]

Does anyone know of any Danny DeVito avatars so I can finally be my truest self

[limber anvil]

lol

[opaque hawk]

That’s awesome mimi

[queen mango]

Another chat mod? 👀

That makes 4 now.. Pan, Jerome, Owl, and Mimi...
Apologies for counting it up..

[umbral reef]

Owl?

[queen mango]

Short for OwlB--

[umbral reef]

The fuck? That guy is a chat mod?

Time to make an extra canny post then :^)

[queen mango]

Wait.. you didn't know?

[umbral reef]

Since when does he have that shit?

[queen mango]

[umbral reef]

Might explain why he is allowed so much special treathment compared to other users

[opaque hawk]

Christmas is tomorrow. Anyone expecting to upgrade to vr 😃

[vast tulip]

I look forward to seeing more people in vr!

[opaque hawk]

Yes

[rigid crescent]

yeah im hype for that

[true sky]

When I build my Tupper approved PC package since I need new proccessor

Other than that, I have a VR headset laying in the closet

[opaque hawk]

If I get enough amazon gift cards I’ll pick up a new headset mic. Anyone use a Bluetooth mic with this game?

[languid beacon]

We should have a “first day in vr” party for everyone who gets headsets tomorrow

[true sky]

I don't have new PC, but can welcome newcomers and give them advice to be safe in VR.

Good for people who can't see flashy images since they will probably get a seizure from it.

[languid beacon]

Which VRChat user peed in your cornflakes Legoman

[vast tulip]

Anyone who can get seizers shouldn't be in vr >.>

I think they know that

[torn nebula]

tfw first day in VR parties are being organized but I won't be able to get back to my VR setup for over a week

[ruby burrow]

If I suffered from seizures, I'd probably be stubborn and just invest in a padded cell to play in rather than be denied. >_>;

[acoustic lotus]

merry Christmas

[ruby burrow]

Though I'm not too knowledgeable in the subject.

[opaque hawk]

They are really terrible Squishy

[languid beacon]

Just because you are susceptible to seizures does not mean flashing images are your trigger, either. That’s a specific kind of seizure.

[ruby burrow]

I'd quite enjoy visiting some welcome parties, but I'm pretty much fully booked with assorted family visits for the next two days, and then back to work. ._.

[opaque hawk]

I’m down for more sardines in the pug

[languid beacon]

I'm often seeing a outline shader that has a custom ramp texture as well. seems popular, anyone know what it's called?

[vast tulip]

@languid beacon xiexe toon shadet does both

Xstoon

It can be anything from a flat lit to smooth toon shader

[umbral nova]

@languid beacon I use one that does that but I might switch to XSToon

[languid beacon]

Thank you very much!

[umbral nova]

The one I use is called Toony Colors Pro

Though I think you have that one too

Am I not mistaken?

[vocal shard]

how do I connect vr headset to vrchat?

I just got one and don't have vr connected to the game

[pliant prawn]

Oculus or Vive?

[vocal shard]

oculus

[vast tulip]

It's in the Oculus store

[vocal shard]

ah ok

[umbral nova]

I suggest the SteamVR version right now though

[vocal shard]

so, connect oculus to steam vr?

[safe prism]

if you'd like to use steam, you need to dig through oculus app settings for "Allow apps from untrusted sources," and install SteamVR via steam

[umbral nova]

Oculus version is slightly buggy at the moment and does not support Dash overlay

What Okano said

[vast tulip]

I'm pretty sure they fixed that in the new version

You can use dash

[umbral nova]

Hm

I still won't use the Oculus version though for one reason

[opaque hawk]

Ovrdrop?

[umbral nova]

I have the Playspace mover program and as of now it isn't compatible with Oculus

[safe prism]

playspace moving isn't a thing

[umbral nova]

And I've gotten very used to it

[safe prism]

unless you like doing Very Bad Things™

[umbral nova]

What?

[safe prism]

c:

[pliant prawn]

Please elaborate

[umbral nova]

Literally I use it to move myself up when I sit in a chair

[safe prism]

no i mean for oculus

[umbral nova]

I hate Seated play

[safe prism]

and yeah same

[umbral nova]

I'm sure you'd have to like

[torn nebula]

come to think of it, what happens if you turn on seated play, while seated, when you have full body tracking on?

[umbral nova]

Heavily modify Oculus itself correct?

[safe prism]

seated play doesn't work in fbt

and no, you can do playspace moving in unity

[umbral nova]

How so

[safe prism]

which means modding vrchat which means Very Bad Things™

[umbral nova]

Oh that

M m m

I'd rather not thanks

[safe prism]

yeah, smart

[umbral nova]

I'll continue using SteamVR

[safe prism]

the one project i've seen for vrc doing it, the creator got banned lmaoo

[umbral nova]

Plus I don't wanna download VRChat twice on my computer

[safe prism]

so yeah don't do Very Bad Things™

maybe one day it'll be in-app but

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ruby burrow]

Closest to seated play in FBT is using playspace mover to drag yourself higher.

[safe prism]

the option for swapping to seated/standing literally is disabled like it is for desktop

[umbral nova]

Actually

[ruby burrow]

Which I guess is pretty common actually. All the FBT users that like to float around lying down at 4 foot in the air.

[grizzled pasture]

Going to create a world and name it after one of my friends just so I can say that "friend" is my world. I think that's a good use of my time.

[safe prism]

can't see the mirror if you're too low uwu

[umbral nova]

IS the B button on Oculus used?

[safe prism]

nope

it's not mapped in steamvr though

there is no way to read it under normal circumstances

only via oculus sdk

[ruby burrow]

You now also have the option of getting a friend with a chair on their back, and just lounging across their shoulders, letting them carry you around.

[umbral nova]

Until VRChat implements built in playspace moving

I'm not switching

[ruby burrow]

Seems unlikely that.

[umbral nova]

Probably

[ruby burrow]

Switching what though?

[umbral nova]

From the SteamVR version to Oculus version

[ruby burrow]

Ah.

[grand zealot]

http://puu.sh/CmKLO/b2bab56c2a.jpg

Am I the only one seeing this?

[ruby burrow]

Uh...

[grand zealot]

Wtf is this

[ruby burrow]

Well I've never seen it. Another dumb new hack?

[grand zealot]

Some 'gang' member told me that they'd fuck up my account, so I'm assuming this is it.

I just hit home and it let me in. What.

[umbral nova]

I think that's a fallback message for if VRChat fails to properly load a loading screen texture

Or fails to load the scene for the loading screen itself

[ruby burrow]

Bit of a weird fallback message, but ok then.

[median basalt]

Lmao

I've seen those kinds of messages before.

When Killing Floor 2 fails to load localization for the dailies, it just says "MGOOOOMMMBAHHHPPPP TEST TEXT"

[ruby burrow]

If I was developing something like this, I'd be tempted to put in a cake recipe or something.

[torn nebula]

but you can only see it after going through a portal

[grand zealot]

It was my launch option. Okay then.

[zinc solar]

Wonder how many people are planning to give VRbooty for people to bust a VRNut for christmas... xD

[safe prism]

a lot

[zinc solar]

Sad christmas for those

[safe prism]

nuh

you just erp in vrc

nothing sad about that

[rigid crescent]

implying assumptions generalization etc

[queen mango]

You can find some in Void Club

[rigid crescent]

you mean NepBar

[queen mango]

I haven't tried out Nep's Bar.. but Void Club? I think I was in a relatively modest session

[zinc solar]

Ohhh? Putting on a VR Headset, switching to a naked avatar and opening a private world so you two can be together. Air humping IRL and making fake moaning sounds wile your character does a piss poor job at simulating sexual intercourse. It's a fetish, and a weird one at that.

:y

[queen mango]

Hmm.. until the phantom feeling takes over

[rigid crescent]

You realize not everyone does that yeh? like that's the minority?

[zinc solar]

Ohhh I'm sorry, they spawn toys too and just wiggle them around

[rigid crescent]

uhh

[long venture]

I feel sad like my name has been soiled and robbed from me

[pliant prawn]

Savage

[rigid crescent]

i mean i could break it down to "lol imagine actually simulating sex with your hand by moving it on your junk while you look at images of actual people having intercourse or possibly doing the same thing you're doing. it's a fetish, and a weird one at that."

I know approximately zero people who ERP and do that though, most of it is just phonesex with with the "immersion" aspect to it.

[zinc solar]

If people get so defensive over it, it makes it funnier because of how hard this gets defended by the people who do it, or want to do it.

[queen mango]

Hard

[rigid crescent]

You've never considered the fact that people tell you you're wrong because you're wrong?...

[safe prism]

it's a headspace

[rigid crescent]

oh headspace, that's a good word for it

[queen mango]

[zinc solar]

Ohhh yes, I'm wrong. Nothing weird about air humping IRL and using an attractive avatar to hide your grotesque appearance to make it worthwhile. I'm sorry, I just don't get turned on banging Hatsune miku as ren.

:y

[safe prism]

you've heavily oversimplified it

[zinc solar]

Simple as it gets, there's no deeper meaning to it

[queen mango]

But, well.. What I seen isn't something like that..

[rigid crescent]

and generalized a massive amount of people to something that's not that common

[queen mango]

No fake moaning or wet slap sounds..

[zinc solar]

It's not like I'm spiritually connecting with the person, and this is better than IRL sex

[queen mango]

Just uhh, wholesome.

[safe prism]

you've vastly underestimated how people feel

[zinc solar]

ERP = Erotic Roleplay ROLEPLAY, but some people take it more serious than others and think it's actual intercouse.

[rigid crescent]

Which people?

[queen mango]

Why are we talking about eroplay anyways?

[rigid crescent]

Again, i know a lot of people who do lewd stuff, and that's definitely extremely, extremely rare. There's people that think one night stands are a thing and think it means someone loves them lol there's outliers to every scenario.

[safe prism]

i found my irl gf on vrc lmao, stuff irl is just as fun and intense as vr for me .-.

[zinc solar]

The people in this hot new world "Let's just H"

[queen mango]

O my..

[safe prism]

it's different but it's still good shit

[queen mango]

I feel fuzzy, Okano

[zinc solar]

I've reported soooo many people in naked avatars in public lobbies

[safe prism]

most people don't do it in public

that's a terrible idea

[zinc solar]

Well that world encourages it

[brave belfry]

Heyo Everybody !
Merry Xmas
I'm looking for someone who got a 1 free month of nitro discord to share it each other
PM me if you wanna share this o/

[rigid crescent]

No world encourages it in public because it's possible to make it a private lobby.

the only way to encourage it in public is to actually say "guys use this world as a public lobby to smash"

[queen mango]

I may have encountered one of those avatars in the Great Pug some few weeks ago.. pretty detailed stuff

[zinc solar]

The world "Let's just H" has a 0/2 population, I joined instances where it was 1/2. There was a naked person on the bed in a PUBLIC world.

[rigid crescent]

I mean i've seen them in a pug as well

[safe prism]

void and vgl, my friends lewd there but you make invite+ lobbies so it's kosher lmao

[queen mango]

It has clothing, but a gesture can remove it, revealing the bits

[torn nebula]

so what you're saying is you can just jump into 1/2 instances to find the sort of people who would use nsfw avatars in public worlds and report them preemptively before they do it in a larger instance

[zinc solar]

Nah, I just like to report any loody noodys

[pliant prawn]

Not all heroes wear capes

[rigid crescent]

so, one more time, explain to me how a world that is able to make private instances of encourages this in public? Because that's not making much sense.

[zinc solar]

It's hilarious

Heck, you can report them in private worlds too and they can get suspended

[rigid crescent]

Unless a sign in the world says they should try it out, of course.

[queen mango]

And probably only in private rooms..

[rigid crescent]

Pretty sure that's not true.

[queen mango]

[zinc solar]

Yeah, I reported a few people and one of them my friends and they got supsended

[rigid crescent]

That doesn't necessarily mean it was in response to that.

[zinc solar]

👌

[rigid crescent]

Unless they were told that obviously

[zinc solar]

I'm saving VRChat, one creep at a time

[queen mango]

One gets brought down, another comes up

[halcyon kestrel]

Hello ppl

[zinc solar]

So it's a disease

[vocal shard]

one of them my friends you reported your friend?

[queen mango]

Oh, hello

Kinda like a microorganism

[long venture]

do you ever just have a similar name to someone then they make a bad name for themselves which then people mistakes him for you

and now that you are in that person's discord

you are robbed of your name because as the sever owner the person claims your name so you have to change to a nickname

and then you get bullied by him being called a fake and knowing you can't do anything or you will get lashed from their discord

[zinc solar]

Hey, I hate when my friends invite me to an ERP session, so I still report them

[rigid crescent]

Possibly for something that's not against the rules

[vocal shard]

Interesting

[rigid crescent]

Odds are they're ignored though since, yknow, private room.

[queen mango]

Might wanna take a bit of time to think before you act

[median basalt]

@long venture fucking lmao

[timid musk]

Yea you aren't gonna get rid of lewd people with nsfw avatars. If it's private it's not like I mind.

[median basalt]

I know exactly who you are talking about and I am not the least bit surprised.

[vocal shard]

That's rough, holy shit

[rigid crescent]

Let them believe they're making a difference lol

[zinc solar]

Meh,

[long venture]

I was being called a fake
on a Livestream with 100 viewers

[queen mango]

And yea.. I wouldn't mind 18+ avatars, as long as other people are okay with it..

[rigid crescent]

Reporting people for uhhhh.....not breaking the rules. Yeah, you'll teach em

[median basalt]

@long venture friendly reminder that senior chat mods here approve of that person's behavior

[rigid crescent]

or get your reports flagged as not mattering

[zinc solar]

Ohhh yeah not breaking the rules? Have you read the rules?

[torn nebula]

if one of your "friends" is inviting you into erp instances, knowing you don't want that, you should probably just defriend them tbqh

[median basalt]

I got harassed by the same guy

[rigid crescent]

Yeah, it's OK in private rooms.

[torn nebula]

that not a great friend as far as I'm concerned

[vocal shard]

Wtf..

[long venture]

when I tried to clarify a channel topic I got lashed by their community for annoying them

[queen mango]

[long venture]

and as sever owner he just be like screw it

people can break the rules

[median basalt]

Dude, that guy's "community" consists of 99% bots. He bought all his subscribers

[zinc solar]

In the rules "Pornography & nudity is not allowed."

[queen mango]

What the...

[median basalt]

Just leave his server and ignore him, he's a toxic human bean

[zinc solar]

It doesn't say anywhere (Private lobbies okay)

[long venture]

I said as a sever owner you should never say things like breaking rules is fine

[rigid crescent]

Yeah, and admin have said it's OK in private lobbies

[zinc solar]

Can't make up your own rules

[timid musk]

It's still gonna be there

[rigid crescent]

I mean I didn't, sorry m8

[long venture]

then I got lashed by their community for pushing

[zinc solar]

Okay if people are comfortable with it, but when you're not it is okay to report it

[safe prism]

shana, i think at some point you just need to call the defeat and change your name to NotVRShana

[timid musk]

It's an unpopular thought process if these people aren't really flaunting their models publicly

[zinc solar]

Here's a scenario?
A guy invites a girl who is 15 to a private instance with a naked avatar and asks for loods. With your logic, she cannot report him because "It's in a private world, so it's okay"

[queen mango]

Hmm.. I would suggest changing your name to "Shina" or "Shira"

[median basalt]

The shana with a bad name for themselves are pretty recognizable, I don't think you have to be worried about being mistaken for them anymore

[timid musk]

No she can

[long venture]

by changing my name
they personally win because they wanted the name

[rigid crescent]

I mean it's not against the rules for those things to be in a private room, no. That's my point. Never said it was morally ok

[zinc solar]

Well according to Mic here, if people are in a private instance, regardless of what the scenario is, they are immune to NSFW reports

[safe prism]

do you want to be happy or do you want to be right

[queen mango]

Hmm...

[median basalt]

@long venture just keep your name honestly

[rigid crescent]

Sounds about right. The whole inviting you (basically tricking you into joining) part might be considered a broken rule though

[median basalt]

Don't give that bully the satisfaction

[rigid crescent]

again, never said it was morally ok, but if they've said nsfw in private is ok then it's ok.

[long venture]

I'm being called a nickname in the community because I'm not allowed to use my name

[queen mango]

[vocal shard]

just try not to worry about it anymore

[safe prism]

consent is everything my dudes

uwu

[queen mango]

Yea..

[long venture]

when their community referred to me as shana

he got angery

[zinc solar]

Look the NSFW rule is still a broken rule, but if people are comfortable with it then it is okay. But if you have someone in there who is not, you can easily report them for it. Hence what I do

[rigid crescent]

lol

[torn nebula]

I'll just point out that the harassment section can be interpreted pretty broadly depending on the circumstances, regardless of NSFW/not and private world/not

[rigid crescent]

Yeah that's probably intentional bd

[umbral oracle]

Doesn't that mean all you have to do to be legal is go is chill in a world in a normal avatar, wait for someone to join and pop a private portal to the same world

[long venture]

I can't do anything
because they have all the big streamers together

[rigid crescent]

im confused why do you even have to be in that discord

[queen mango]

VRShana's Discord?

[rigid crescent]

no clue

seems like a waste of time

[zinc solar]

The reason I'm against the ERP things sooo much is from the amount of situations I've seen, and a specific situation I was in that made me very uncomfortable.

[rigid crescent]

go ahead and be against it, never said you had to be for it

you just have weird generalizations lol

[long venture]

apparently I got banned once for addressing that the admin was abusing their power

and somehow I went back to patch things up and apologized for something I never did wrong

[queen mango]

[timid musk]

If two grown adults consensually want to lewd each other in a private world with nsfw avatars they can do it. If it isnt consented and you are offended by it report it. But if it's consented adults and you weren't even apart of it and reported it despite not being involved in anyway then it isn't okay

[queen mango]

Man.. I feel a little heavy seeing this.

[zinc solar]

Because of how open people think of it as something okay

[median basalt]

Sounds like a toxic place

[rigid crescent]

It is something that's OK, nani

[median basalt]

Why even be in there then

[rigid crescent]

well yah the consent/harassment thing is a whole different rule

[long venture]

cuz you know big streamers

I wouldn't want them to give me a bad reputation. for something I never did

[rigid crescent]

lol streamers can be scum and their reputation is fine

[long venture]

wouldn't want a gang of crashers to stalk me in vrchat

[queen mango]

Wait.. they got VRC hitmen too?

[vocal shard]

That's crazy

[long venture]

as far as I know

gangs exist in vrc

[vocal shard]

But for what purpose?

[rigid crescent]

harassment

[vocal shard]

Can't people just have fun in VR anymore?

[queen mango]

Harassment, assault.. etc

[rigid crescent]

they do

[long venture]

some are out for malicious acts

some are just protecting some people

[safe prism]

@zinc solar i've had a very terrible experience too, but i moved on and now i have fun /shrug

[rigid crescent]

they're all just nerds with complexes tbh

either hero or superiority

[vocal shard]

Same, I world hop way too much to come across Enterprise Resource Planning

[rigid crescent]

there's no "right" reason to crash someone

[vocal shard]

This is why I carefully tread the worlds

[queen mango]

Even if it is vigilantism, yes?

[vocal shard]

If I see a crasher i'm outta there

[long venture]

I literally have to turn off custom animation and particles and sound now for all users

[rigid crescent]

just turn off animations

[safe prism]

i do that anyway uwu

[queen mango]

But what about friends?

[vocal shard]

This tbh

[rigid crescent]

animations control the particles and sound, why even turn them all off?

[queen mango]

[vocal shard]

That's why it's better making an instance for friends only

[safe prism]

off for friends too, i explicitly show them per user for people who draw to speak

[rigid crescent]

why...

[queen mango]

[safe prism]

i have cancerous friends

[vocal shard]

Oof

[rigid crescent]

but they need animations to do anything...

[long venture]

I went to the Christmas map to chill and one user was like

If you give him something he will stop the shaking

But everyone was laughing cuz they had animation blocked

[safe prism]

i don't want them to do stuff

i just wanna talk, not have my eyes bleed

i have enough problems with that via people walking through me

[rigid crescent]

But....just block animations?...

[safe prism]

that's what i do

????

[long venture]

there was once I was sleep and fell asleep in front of a mirror

Then a group of users came and made super loud audio

[safe prism]

i just allow animations per user

[rigid crescent]

Oh i though you meant you did everything off

again, shana, why not just turn off solely animations

[queen mango]

Oof.. talka bout a rude awakening

[safe prism]

no lights, no particles, no sounds, no anims on everyone incl friends.

[tidal aspen]

how DARE you disable my EPIC animations

[vocal shard]

So, what happens if the instance you're joining just happens to harbor nothing but crashers? I had that kind of incident three months ago

[long venture]

it's sad to see actual nice people suffer because of idiots that do malicious stuff

[timid musk]

I turn everything off except for voice on everyone except friends

[long venture]

I had to watch them write stuff in the air before I knew he had custom animation

[timid musk]

So I can survive mainly

[queen mango]

VRChat sounds like a cruel world everyday

[pliant prawn]

Damn y'all take VRC pretty seriously, huh?

[queen mango]

Yes, Dammit!

[long venture]

if you were here from the early days

vrchat really flipped 180

[sterile drift]

People blocking animations

[rigid crescent]

Taking VRC seriously = / = not wanting to be harassed, crashed, etc

[sterile drift]

I have a Miku model for that specific reason

[pliant prawn]

Is last December "early days?"

[sterile drift]

The intro sound is instead of her just saying in something Japanese like normal

[timid musk]

I just have trouble surviving, so it's not like I do it because I don't want to see the animations

[sterile drift]

She says "If you can hear this, you have LoneEevee's animations disabled. Please turn them on now, you big gay."

[long venture]

before the uganda crysis = early days

[sterile drift]

"Crisis"

I like how you refer to it as that

[long venture]

soz

[pliant prawn]

lol

[queen mango]

Like when there was around 100-400 players.. Yes?

[sterile drift]

As if it was something bad

[median basalt]

I always play with everything unblocked

[long venture]

yes when everyday was joining the old hub and meeting the same people

[median basalt]

I hide individual avatars if they're annoying

[pliant prawn]

lol surviving

[median basalt]

If someone's avatar renders over walls they're getting hidden

[rigid crescent]

Quite literally just turn off fucking animations if you don't want to deal with them. It's extremely easy

[long venture]

I would. always get excited to see a vr user so I could get pats

[timid musk]

I turn on avatars of people I find interesting

[rigid crescent]

This is being blown way out of proportion at this point.

[vocal shard]

How was it in the early days of VR?

[pliant prawn]

I don't want to get cyber bullied

[vocal shard]

I only joined in feb of this year

[long venture]

basically you would meet almost the same people everyday

[tidal aspen]

penthouse at night and cafe leblanc F 😢

[long venture]

vrpill would pop in occasionally to talk to players

[queen mango]

Well.. I just joined in April of this year. I may have missed somethinf... OOH, Cafe Leblanc!

[vocal shard]

rip cafe leblanc

I have it set to my home, it's ok

That sounds pretty sad

[tidal aspen]

only real gamers knew about the meeting spot at penthouse at night

[queen mango]

FUCC! I missed meeting players there, especially the SMT guys

[safe prism]

yeeeee

[queen mango]

Like seriously.. I meat really nice people there, especially one guy in a Warhammer avatar

[vocal shard]

So now, VR has become a little to toxic, or am I wrong?

[queen mango]

meat

[vocal shard]

Lol Elire

[safe prism]

it's not more toxic than when i started, just the toxicity quotient changed

[earnest harbor]

Oh man penthouse memes were good

[tidal aspen]

you can still find chill people

[safe prism]

since less people will be more cancerous than before where cancer took a lot of people

[earnest harbor]

Back when only the cool players knew how to get to the other buildings

[long venture]

basically the toxic levels. was always present

just That we have way more players now so the percentage actually means a thing

[vocal shard]

I missed the party than

[queen mango]

So did I.. Wondered what it would be like tho..

[long venture]

you can search the YouTube video

cuck blocked in vr

[queen mango]

Ah, that video

[long venture]

that was how it used to be

https://youtu.be/tUN8h8BPg04

[queen mango]

Evolved ant was probably a custom avatar, yes?

[pseudo basalt]

The times when you could spend all night in gaia night and nobody had crashers

[long venture]

when I would get amazed at just people being able to take their hats off

[vocal shard]

Good times

[queen mango]

And probably look classy doing it

A bonafide touché, would it be not?

[long venture]

back then I was spamming shift w at the tree in old hub to climb it

this emoji I hope that it will never dissappear

it really just means everything to me

my memories from my first days in vrchat where I met so many wonderful friends and to even meet the creator

[vocal shard]

And now, things have changed haven't they?

[vast tulip]

When I started vrc, i was lucky if 10-20 people were on

There were no private instances. Every world was public. The only way to get to a private instance was to upload a world and not make it public

[queen mango]

Who usually comes by to talk with people.. fron the VRC Team that is?

[long venture]

like in the old days?

all I ever see is vrpill

[vast tulip]

There was no way to request invite. All you could do was invite people. The code for "invite me please" was to invite someone to the hub

[torn nebula]

Tupper drops in from time to time, but I wouldn't keep your hopes up on xmas eve lol

[queen mango]

Not even in VRCTE?

[vocal shard]

So the ol Tupper still logs on?

[queen mango]

He's always on.. just that you don't see him..

[limber anvil]

you know i wonder how VRchat is even still able to keep the servers up. Being a free game with no way to buy anything in game, how have they been able to afford all of this?

[timid musk]

I started about half a year ago when I was sure I could get on. Never visit public worlds too often, it's mostly squeakers and a-hole horn dogs who surround anyone who sounds like a woman. Though there are some nice people

[long venture]

admins can turn invisible and do magic

[vast tulip]

Tupper is pretty much always on!

[torn nebula]

@limber anvil probably VC money

[limber anvil]

?

[long venture]

HTC kinda gave them money

[torn nebula]

anyway: tupper, ron, and a bunch of other staff dropped by the box #1 a couple weeks ago testing the avatar cloning stuff

[queen mango]

He's always invisible though.. an observer watching ua.

[torn nebula]

so they apparently drop by from time to time

[queen mango]

Yea I heard that.. Pan showed us some in the other server we have

[long venture]

story time with gunter was fun tho

[safe prism]

i miss gaia

i miss a lot of old places

[vast tulip]

Gaia is still here though?

[queen mango]

Empty tho

[long venture]

I just want my friends back

[limber anvil]

what happened to the courtroom

[rigid crescent]

i didnt even know gunter existed til the livestream lol

[zinc solar]

Who is gunter?

[limber anvil]

i still remember the wackjob cases people would come up with

[zinc solar]

To be fair I know 0 famous people on VRChat. The only person I know who is somewhat famous is Kibbels, and that's it

[dark narwhal]

Am i famous?

[rigid crescent]

im famous

[vocal shard]

Yes.

[rigid crescent]

THE Mic Sounders

[tidal aspen]

woah

[zinc solar]

No clue who you are.

[limber anvil]

oof

[vocal shard]

Doki Doki and Mic are my fave

[zinc solar]

I only know you as that guy who defends ERP a lot

[pliant prawn]

F

[safe prism]

my entire life is erp

[rigid crescent]

"a lot" If you say something wrong I will correct you. I don't care what it's about.

[dark narwhal]

Sometimes they say...are you "The Doki Doki"

[safe prism]

i'm a slave cat irl

[zinc solar]

I flunked recess cause I don't play around

[vocal shard]

Oh man

[rigid crescent]

I defend a lot of things, you only care because it's something you're being called out about but go ahead and bring it back up lol

[dark narwhal]

I say maybe

[safe prism]

vr is just an extension of the control exerted upon me

[rigid crescent]

LOL puppet vr pls

[dark narwhal]

Puppets are fun

Ask my puppet

[rigid crescent]

tldr all my friends call me "THE Mic Sounders" because another friend did it as a joke

not actually famous lol

[limber anvil]

(btw just a side thing, anyone know where i can comission avatars?)

[umbral oracle]

A good way to find famous people is to explore public instances of newly released maps

[vocal shard]

I can't believe I'm seeing the Mic Sounders talk right now

[safe prism]

#community-servers-old VRCTraders

[limber anvil]

thx

[umbral oracle]

Because there is often only one instance of them anyway
