when the insider team couldnt even get the timing right

median basalt
#

The devs seem to have created an environment where they can never get useful feedback, because they only surround themselves with yes-men

rigid crescent
#

yeah, he was like that when he joined to see the number spoofing i showed you. quick in, record, and out

#

I really doubt anything new came of the open beta though. the few issues that were feedback related were ignored to begin with and didn't need an open beta to begin with

queen mango
#

And I doubt that there are a set number in the hundred users who participated in the beta

rigid crescent
#

I mean also, what happens if they do make something friends only and one of your friends still decides to use the avatar to be a dick?

near saffron
#

Yeah ur reliant on everyone who has access to it not to spread em

rigid crescent
#

Well let's say he sets his avatar to "Friends Only" and no one that isn't on his friends list can use it, even if the Friend has SHaring on

#

they can still use it to be an ass

near saffron
#

They just need an option such as β€œonly from pedestal” for public avatars so non public world owners can control who gets them

median basalt
#

Yep

#

Reward avatars are fucked now too. This is stuff that we told them ages ago

sterile drift
#

Wow Jawbones got yeeted for something he didn't do.

median basalt
#

When I saw the name I knew it was gonna be you lol

rigid crescent
#

That's what I mean Rokk. All the issues that popped up are issues they didn't even need an open beta for.

sterile drift
#

Seriously though this is why they should have a Pedestal Only avatar mode

median basalt
#

EeeeeEeeee is typing

sterile drift
#

lmao

rigid crescent
#

except the network ones

umbral reef
#

Wait the fuck

#

Did jaw really get clapped for that?

sonic verge
#

ye

umbral reef
#

Shit man- The joke present i got was less of a dumpster fire then this update :')

Change the rules without saying anything about it and then just start clapping peeps -- Neat

sweet agate
#

heyo

umbral reef
#

Awesome to know that if you where gone while the change happened you can get banned before being able to even react to it πŸ‘Œ

rigid crescent
#

oh what rule changed

median basalt
#

The fact that "public world avatar" now became "any avatar not set to private"

umbral reef
#

Any avatar that you have on your account that is set to public (aka can be shared) can get you temp banned

#

If not worse

median basalt
#

I made a "disruptive" avatar before the public/private system was implemented (this was back in March).

#

I haven't looked at it since

sterile drift
#

I'm gonna get myself banned because of my Miku avatar. Bet.

median basalt
#

If I were to switch into it now, I could be banned. Cool beans πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘Œ

sterile drift
#

I S T H A T C R U N C H I M U S I C E X T E N S I O N S?

median basalt
#

I doubt it would be considered disruptive lol

sterile drift
#

I can make it disruptive

cold talon
#

oh shit, time to delete all old avatars

rigid crescent
#

or just yknow hit the button in unity

cold talon
#

hitting the button bahkaNoThanks

sweet agate
median basalt
#

I just made all of mine private except my public world ones

#

RIP "those neat experiments I shared with friends", too risky to keep around.

#

Thanks devs.

sweet agate
#

I always have set mine to private, have something changed?

sonic verge
#

you can share avatars to other people if you set it as public

median basalt
#

Any avatar set to public can be copied, even if not on a pedestal and not in a public world. People got banned for it @sweet agate

sonic verge
#

thats what the cloning thing work

sterile drift
#

People as in the bone of jaws

ocean bramble
#

Why is the creator of the avatar banned if the avatar was abused by someone else. The one actually abusing it should be banned

cold talon
#

would be cool to have an option to change if an avatar is cloneable ingame 02Bean

sweet agate
#

Oh, I thought it was only from public avatar Worlds LUL

sonic verge
#

@cold talon ye there is, its literally at the bottom middle of the settings menu\

sterile drift
#

I guess in the moderators' eyes, it was like

#

Jawbones bypassing the system

median basalt
#

There's no room for nuance in this game's moderation (or the game to begin with)

umbral reef
#

@ocean bramble If its an crasher other bad stuff- I kinda get it
IF they made a proper warning about it and changed there rules...

If its just an annoying avatar right now? Unless its a raid and shit just block and keep going

median basalt
#

@sterile drift I just thought of something

umbral reef
#

But hey- Im not a staff member for a big reason so

rigid crescent
#

I mean there's no room for moderation in this game's moderation LOL

sterile drift
#

Hm?

median basalt
#

This is the fifth time I've witnessed an emoji getting someone banned.

sterile drift
#

LOL

#

Hold on did people get banned for the sick emoji too?

median basalt
#

Yes.

sterile drift
#

Oof

median basalt
#

And of course, GV and G1 for the shaking emoji

sterile drift
#

Yes

cold talon
#

most of them just kicked tho

sterile drift
#

Literally just got shaken out of existance

rigid crescent
#

i mean it's just a public world ban at least

#

just hang out with friends somewhere else for a few days

median basalt
#

It's the incredibly condescending "you've been naughty" world ban lol

cold talon
#

you dont mess with the spanner

umbral reef
#

@median basalt I got a warning for mentioning staff and then only replying to accusations made to me πŸ‘
Meanwhile the person making the clame got just as bad of a warning

median basalt
#

At least Jawbones has plenty of friends to dick around with

sterile drift
#

What does Jawbones' ban reason say actually?

umbral reef
#

Gotta love the 'new' 'active' chat mods

rigid crescent
#

Imagine a game where moderation only punished you if you're not famous lol

sonic verge
#

jawbones avatar being "annoying" @sterile drift

sterile drift
#

@umbral reef Actually Mimi's been pretty active as of late.

rigid crescent
#

pretty sure subcom and that black n white avatar world got taken down for bad performance avatars but we got shonzo out here with 2k collisions

median basalt
#

Subcom was resubmitted

#

Shonzo's is just being held in stasis by him but I hope it gets taken down

rigid crescent
#

yeah they've fixed stuff afaik

umbral reef
#

@sterile drift A week being online aint active lmao

median basalt
#

"Fixed" not really

sonic verge
#

shonzo avatars are barely even make lag tho imo

rigid crescent
#

i mean they put it within upload limits or it wouldnt have passed

umbral reef
#

Plenty of peeps behaved like that- You barely know who is who by that time

median basalt
#

Subcom has three avatars now. The laggier ones are put on display in the corner, with a link on where to get downloads for them.

sterile drift
#

I mean in time we'll see if she's going to be active a lot or not

median basalt
#

They yeeted the laggy avatars out of the world and are now trying to get people to download the unoptimized ones for private use lol

sonic verge
#

@median basalt they have like 11 atm

sterile drift
#

But yea you're right

umbral reef
#

Tbh- Give it a month and then we can see

sonic verge
#

9 of them are just recolours of the loli cats

rigid crescent
#

shonzo's avatars are no better/worse than all these other worlds. as you should know since we keep saying it non stop, a few bad avatars here and there won't matter. what matters is when everyone is crap

sterile drift
#

Also I have a new hate for the song Common World Domination, Rokk.

umbral reef
#

Vacations are over then and people go back to school properly then
So being active is something you commit to then instead of being bored and doing it

median basalt
#

Why?

sterile drift
#

I got Project Mirai DX

#

And it's SO HARD

median basalt
#

Lol

sterile drift
#

Lemme show you the video of the hard mode of the song

rigid crescent
#

It's been two weeks btw and still no reply on "hey am i allowed to put advertisements in my world i see lots of worlds with them" lol

#

#supportplshelp

umbral reef
#

@rigid crescent I got a answer from tupper
"Its not my department"

#

πŸ‘Œ
And Owl Boy said he had no idea

#

So awesome support from chat mods and admins πŸ‘€

rigid crescent
#

yeah i sent an actual email which is what tupper said to do

cold talon
#

Owl Boy had no idea? bahkaThinkSpin2

umbral reef
#

Yes- Owlboy is apperently a chat mod ??

median basalt
#

He is

rigid crescent
#

"We've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing"

umbral reef
#

And ofcours he didnt say shit
He is a special treathment to the staff because his world is set to admin aproved
He had been allowed to play with way more shit then most users because he is buddies with admins and been here for long

#

We all know its because of that admin aproved tag
Those fella's dont have to wait ages to upload and get more leeway with rules

queen mango
rigid crescent
#

i don't want a smelly nose so i'll never be big 'inner circle' boi, sadface

umbral reef
#

Even if i wanted by now id never get there :^)

cold talon
#

owlboy has script access and doesn't even use it sad

sterile drift
#

lol

rigid crescent
#

imagine having this much nepotism lol

queen mango
#

Nepotism?

#

Sounds like a family thing

median basalt
#

That's what the name comes from

#

Vriendjespolitiek

umbral reef
#

Rutte politiek

median basalt
#

Favoring friends and family, like a company where the incompetent son gets promoted to manager quickly while the smart bois get a tiny raise

queen mango
median basalt
#

Or in this case, allowing worlds to break the rules because you like the author

rigid crescent
#

I wish I was in a position to be extremely unfair to my userbase and get away with it because of my station. must be nice

umbral reef
#

@rigid crescent become a streamer and ezpz

cold talon
#

uhh ohh

twin jacinth
#

Wait
Owl boy got promoted to Chatmod without asking for it?
don't you have to be contacted by them and asked if you want to be it? o.o

queen mango
#

Dunno.. I haven't seen him get promoted in my 5 months here

rigid crescent
#

it's even funnier because even the people that are in a position of advantage but agree with us can't do anything about it because they'll just risk their own wellbeing so they have to go along with it and read shitstorms like this every week knowing you can never express your opinion openly :3

umbral reef
#

You do @twin jacinth

#

But he would have been dumb to say no

twin jacinth
#

Of course but then when he himself says he get's this promotions without getting asked for it shows how privileged he is in this community compared to other content creators

median basalt
#

@rigid crescent ooh, I know a guy like that

umbral reef
#

Gonna cause for loads of really fair and active moderating from him

#

@twin jacinth implying he never bragged about stuff that was not true

sterile drift
#

I'm actually getting pretty far in the song but my fingers are in pain. Send help please.

rigid crescent
#

yeah same

queen mango
#

@sterile drift Have some wine

rigid crescent
#

that was honestly just a fun jab aimed at anyone like that who would happen to be reading LOL

umbral reef
#

@rigid crescent Pretty funny indeed

rigid crescent
#

my favorite part about the whole pug ad thing is that we got his attention and he's aware it's against TOS, but it's still in there ;3 so he's knowingly breaking the rule that gets worlds declined and getting away with it. what a world~

queen mango
#

Man.. what a world we live in

cold talon
#

I wonder, if big streamers would make worlds, would they get special treatment too?

umbral reef
#

One of the dudes that got special treathment for his world removed it after he learned about it

queen mango
#

Probably so, Bahka

rigid crescent
#

so even giving him the benefit of the doubt of him not knownig (due to him being immune to all rules to begin with), he's now knowingly doing so

umbral reef
#

@cold talon they already stream so they already get it

cold talon
queen mango
#

Matsix, Nagzz.. Jameskii?

#

Probably even the big Swede

cold talon
#

lets not forget about woops but i dont think he makes stuff

queen mango
#

Imagine if a famous video game critic played this game instead of a streamer

#

RIP John Bain

cold talon
#

most likely they would only scratch the surface

sterile drift
#

I DID IT

#

I'M DONE M M M

cold talon
#

and that only shows the good part of vrc, but we all know the deeper you go the darker it gets

rigid crescent
#

also who removed it Oclac? marriage world dude?

sterile drift
#

Wait what

queen mango
#

Jesus.. the more you know, the more you pose a risk.

umbral reef
#

Unsure as its been a while

rigid crescent
#

a few weeks ago he actually asked him so i remember him mentioning taking it down, but it's still here. i guess it's not a world that needs to be upped very often though so its understandable

cold talon
#

the devs want us to be happy with the top level stuff and not poke our noses into the game ChariotShrug

rigid crescent
#

i mean it's not like anyone can do anything to change things so there's really no threat to ignoring us

#

that's just politics tho, nothing new there. best you can do is hope for integrity and if you don't get it owell

cold talon
#

and thats exactly what they are doing Lul

umbral reef
#

Well- I been noting the peeps who arent getting help anymore because i and some others are not helping anymore in here

#

and boy its fairly high

cold talon
#

did all the helpin peps stop?

queen mango
#

Maybe.. YokoStress

umbral reef
#

Well, Our V boy is rip
Sai is drinkin and fam time, im just here chatting
Most others are imo also less inactive because of christmas so

queen mango
#

The nicest guys always had to be the most burdened..

rigid crescent
#

i mean that won't change anything tbh, someone else will just help lol

cold talon
#

svel too RIP

rigid crescent
#

hardly a burden, most help is "check announcements", "yeah here's a youtube video", or something else someone else will just answer anyway

umbral reef
#

Not really GWnanamiLaceShrug Plenty of problems dont get solved at all

tacit plank
#

Didn't omega get banned?

queen mango
#

He left

twin jacinth
#

omega who datt?

umbral reef
#

Just jump into #user-support-old and look at the past 50 msgs and count the users who never got a reply or help

#

@tacit plank He left

queen mango
#

Omega.. the guy who's pretty much the brains in this community

tacit plank
#

Creator of the rollercoaster worlds

cold talon
#

well the basic problems do get solved like that GWakkOshrug

twin jacinth
#

OH HIM
Why did he leave?

queen mango
#

Dunno... YokoStress

cold talon
#

Creator of the rollercoaster worlds?
you mean GOD?

sterile drift
#

Lmao

cold talon
rigid crescent
#

oh good point i just realized a lot of them are me answering LOL

queen mango
#

I don't see his name in VRChat anymore either

mighty galleon
#

omega left? wow

umbral reef
#

@rigid crescent Its legit 99% you in that chat, maybe me throwing a link left or right when im bored and else its people providing half assed help and just telling to email instead of fixing it fast or nothing happening

queen mango
#

Not just this Discord.. also the game

rigid crescent
sterile drift
#

Seems like what a lot of people did

cold talon
#

uh oh, did he left right after that conversation?

queen mango
cold talon
#

i mean lots of shit happen, but leaving the game and discord just like that after pouring so much into it

queen mango
#

Damn.. I dunno 2bcry

sterile drift
#

Hold on point me over to his last conversation

mighty galleon
#

what was that elire?

#

you feel like quitting on us?

dark narwhal
#

πŸ‘€

sterile drift
#

Oh my.

#

Elire how could you

ember raptor
#

ghost mentions PingRage

sterile drift
#

mmm

#

I love those too

twin jacinth
#

GWakkoHug
Elire can't leave as long as i'm hereGWomoRaphiOhMy

mighty galleon
#

i can make elire leave

queen mango
#

Qutting on this game.. Feels like a hard decisionYokoStress

mighty galleon
#

hows it a hard decision?

queen mango
#

I had met good friends in my time on VRChat.. like 5 months ago

cold talon
#

guess you could just do "from: Omega#2955"

tacit plank
#

It's the only game where you can be a loli in first person and pet people I think

queen mango
#

5 months later.. almost none of them were playing the game anymore

#

Only Cascadian, Red, and Bahamut

#

And I dunno if Red's aware of this

dark narwhal
#

Remeber when people could get banned from world shaderz....

#

Good times

ember raptor
#

can you not anymore?

queen mango
#

Cafe Leblanc no longer has players too..

cold talon
#

wdym world shaders?

dark narwhal
#

Probably nit cause thdn 1/2 the community would be banned

mighty galleon
#

leaving this game is super easy to me xD

cold talon
#

like screenspace? of shaders in worlds? bahkaThinkSpin2

mighty galleon
#

its how im able to leave for months on end

ember raptor
#

Like you can pretty easily write world shaders to erase the entire ui. I feel like you can still get banned for that

queen mango
#

Hmm.. you've been used to it.

tacit plank
#

That reminds me, I need to reverse engineer a shader so that I can make another shader which makes it invisible

dark narwhal
#

Basically any shader impacting a large area or impairing vision excessively

twin jacinth
#

Leaving this won't happen for me
got way to many good friends here

cold talon
#

i think you can still get banned for that if you get reported

umbral reef
#

@ember raptor Was a thing in the past but right now the UI loads over everything else so far i know

mighty galleon
#

jufo?

twin jacinth
#

Yes?

mighty galleon
#

you have friends?

twin jacinth
#

Wow ;_;

cold talon
#

the UI has zTest now so no more overwriting it

mighty galleon
#

-pats-

dark narwhal
#

There are pit shaders that can hide shader. But it only hides shaders that are set up to be hiden with stencils

ember raptor
#

I dunno I bet I can still erase it smirk

twin jacinth
#

Hides in corner and cries

brazen warren
#

Is it normal that Avatars don't change instantly anymore?

queen mango
#

Yep, they don't

brazen warren
#

Aw effing hell

queen mango
#

Peeps above changed avatar stuff..

mighty galleon
#

oh no its a little ponyer

near saffron
#

Been a thing for a while now

tacit plank
#

Why though?

cold talon
#

what i really want is one of those volume shaders that replace material on objects inside but still use the object uv so its not a screen space

brazen warren
#

And I tried to debug wtf was going on with my world for the last hour or so...

cold talon
#

really fancy stuff

dark narwhal
#

There are ways I can't speak about to blacklist selected shaders from being seen

olive mulch
#

lol

mighty galleon
#

oh hi xins

olive mulch
#

yes

mighty galleon
#

when you senind me those pics

olive mulch
#

what pics

mighty galleon
#

the naughty ones you promised

olive mulch
#

excuse me wtf

rigid crescent
#

LOL

dark narwhal
#

πŸ‘€

mighty galleon
#

you promised feet pic of mic

dark narwhal
#

U can do it. Santa will forget before next Christmas

rigid crescent
#

i can get you a feet pic of my avatar hold up

olive mulch
#

i shouldn’t have come back tbh

sterile drift
mighty galleon
#

xins you know you love me

olive mulch
#

there’s more stuff to you thats little

mighty galleon
#

hmm?

brazen warren
#

So there's no way to enable instant avatar changing anymore... That will make avatar debugging stupidly complicated.

rigid crescent
#

too lazy to find the .blend so nvm

#

instant avatar changing? was that ever a thing??

brazen warren
#

Of course it was

rigid crescent
#

i just hit the button and change into my avatar

brazen warren
#

Yep, but that's not the case anymore

rigid crescent
#

??

tacit plank
#

It used to be done in like a second, now it takes a while

rigid crescent
#

takes me literally one second

brazen warren
#

I have to exit VRChat and open it again for my avatar to change

rigid crescent
#

2 mississippi

tacit plank
#

I think it used to be clientsided, and got changed to a serversided switch

rigid crescent
#

oh, that's probably something on your end. i just changed into an avatar in 2 seconds.

olive mulch
#

might wanna get a new pc chief

tacit plank
#

In general, it easily takes towards a minute to switch now

rigid crescent
#

Yep, 2 seconds. Counted it out.

brazen warren
#

effing hell

tacit plank
#

It took me like 2 seconds in my own world now that I think about it

olive mulch
#

wowowow

#

cut the swearing bucko

brazen warren
#

I'm also testing a local world right now, haven't tried it on an online world yet.

tacit plank
#

Maybe it doesn't show before every player in the world is synced properly, to avoid people seeing the wrong avatars?

brazen warren
#

lmao at slowmode being automatically enabled

#

On Discord I mean

umbral reef
#

No.. The staff team turned it on

olive mulch
#

oof

tacit plank
#

Serversided switching is a good idea, but having to wait 30 seconds to load an avatar from cache is strange

rigid crescent
brazen warren
#

Thing is that Discord enables it automatically for big servers

umbral reef
#

Yea but all other chats dont have it so

tacit plank
#

Maybe they just need faster servers. I can't think of a process which would take a computer more than 2 seconds to do

#

And all that wait time is client-server communication across the planet a few times

vocal shard
#

how do I toggle props on avatar w/ vive controller buttons?

queen mango
#

Well, something happened on November 2 that caused them to activate slowmode permanently

tacit plank
#

But VRChat servers are still pretty heavily loaded

brazen warren
#

lemme try changing my avatar in an online world, not a locally testing one

tacit plank
#

Well, it's a 5 second timer. If you chat faster, you're likely just pressing enter constantly by habit. (maybe from playing online games that require fast information?) It's annoying to look at anyways.

brazen warren
#

Actually Slowmode saved one of the big servers I administrate from a raid once

#

So that's good

#

Oh yeah, when I'm not testing my world locally it'll instantly switch my Avatar too... Bug found!

tacit plank
#

Try changing to one that you haven't used for a bit

#

Maybe the issue is that avatars are not being cached when they should

brazen warren
#

Nope, also works within 5 seconds

rigid crescent
#

probably a "yeah local test worlds aren't as important as the live game network" thing

#

which is totally true, might as well test the avatar on the live build

brazen warren
#

Sucks for testing

olive mulch
#

true

brazen warren
#

Yup, just doesn't work on local maps...

#

Guess I'll be making a bug report then

ember raptor
umbral reef
#

lmao

tacit plank
#

Is it possible to create transparent objects with a render queue below 2000?

ember raptor
#

transparent queue is 3k+ isn't it

#

I don't think you can

dark narwhal
#

You can make things 9999999 in the code if u want maybe the same can be used to lower transparent? Why would u need to lower it tho?

tacit plank
#

I got it to 2001 without disappearing.
And I got it now, I had to disable Zwrite

#

You know how some shaders make shader clothes invisible? I want it to work with all of them. I just need to draw my thingy before everybody else does

dark narwhal
#

I can ober render stuff with shaders. But can you over render with a transparency?

tacit plank
#

Damn, zwrite is needed to overwrite stuff

dark narwhal
#

I have a super stencil shader i can send you to test values

tacit plank
#

Most people don't use stencils, thanks though

#

If you have something transparent with ZWrite on, it will draw below other things if your render queue is lower

dark narwhal
#

Yeah i know but it has zwrite options and stuff as well

#

Draw below? Arent you trying to draw over?

tacit plank
#

Sure then, it could be helpful for testing and such! I don't know entirely what I'm doing, but I've managed to make some avatar clothes invisible lol

#

Hard to explain, I need mine to draw instead, overwriting the other one

dark narwhal
#

Interesting

tacit plank
#

Never looked through a water shader in VRChat to find that some avatars rendered strangely through it?

dark narwhal
#

Yeah i guess that is a thing

#

Not sure if you can make something compatible with most shaders tho

#

Not without some more complex codes probably

tacit plank
#

Tags {"Queue" = "AlphaTest-449" "RenderType"="Opaque"} This makes most clothes invisible, but also hair and eyes. On Transparent-999, it makes all transparent objects on avatars invisible, unless their render queue is somehow lower

dark narwhal
#

Okay i think i might use that for a project cool

tacit plank
#

Wait, it seems they're the same, and that the difference was ZWrite On/Off. But with zwrite off it, while it deleted hair and such, it wouldn't draw below the mosaik shader from the asset store

ember raptor
#

transparency doesn't stack for most setups in vrchat. so looking at one transparent thing through another just erases it

tacit plank
#

I've made two now, with "draw before transparent" and "draw before alphatest"
With ZWrite on, it removes the semi-transparent shaders, while still drawing the opaque avatar body

ember raptor
#

I have a setup that erases everything higher than 2000

dark narwhal
#

Is that what u want?

tacit plank
#

Wait, delete the "renderType opaque" thing

#

And that shader has some interesting stuff I could play with!

dark narwhal
#

Ye

tacit plank
#

But it also seems sort of heavy compared to my oneliner

dark narwhal
#

There are many render types

tacit plank
#

If you don't delete the "render type opaque" from what I send earlier, it will stop updating your screen in that space

#

Which causes effects like seeing 100 nameplates besides eachother if somebody walks through it

dark narwhal
#

Oof i accidentally made that effect on a stencil pen once

ember raptor
#

do you know why it does that caffeine?

#

it still updates the screen

#

but the grabpass hasn't been done yet so it's using the grabpass from the last frame

dark narwhal
#

Ohh neat

#

Shaders are the best

tacit plank
#

Oh, cool!

#

My new shader seems to be doing that in Unity, but it should work in game. It's the same one as I used before, just with 2001 and 2451 render queue rather than 3071

#

I will hop on VR, laters

dark narwhal
#

I wonder if i use that effect in front of a canvas if i can draw on the canvas

ember raptor
#

it'll be super glitchy but sorta

dark narwhal
#

One of my friends was bragging how his girl gave him VRBooty for christmas, and I laughed hysterically.

@zinc solar the retardation of some people in this game is intense.

spending team with family XD

#

nice weird tradition someone made up in 1847

zinc solar
#

@quiet river That's pretty much any social, or MMORPG game. people will find a way to ERP. Hell they even do it on Roblox, and Minecraft. With VRChat though, people can make themselves sexy anime characters from deviantart and grab some nude bases so they can bust a VRNut with them with movement work they have to do. I'm in a Discord that has a section for ERP, and you should see the videos and images they post xD

opaque hawk
#

IMO if its consensual and it hurts the sex trafficking industry it is πŸ‘ with me.

zinc solar

There's actual VRChat prostitution people will pay to have VRSex.

I wonder who got more excited to have a VRNut rather than playing other VRGames when they got a headset.

I've had VR but rarely use it for VRChat, prefer to play Beat Saber in my spare time now that I upgraded PC

But I already have a Buizel avatar Pog

If tupper is not a Cirno in VRChat I will be mad

opaque hawk

He is

#

I actually never had a main avatar? I hate anime guys, or goth/punk looking characters, and most of my avatars are fun jokes to give people a laugh.

#

I need a main avatar...

opaque hawk

I’ve tend to have a base of the month

wary knot
#

Mine is probably Kermit

opaque hawk
#

I make a base body or head and use that for awhile

zinc solar

The one avatar I use the most, is a small bunny, or steampunk plague doctor

languid beacon

Desktop support is important. Headpatting desktop users is how you then them into vr users

But I don't consider them my main

Most recent two are a gender swap of Link and a head base of Lucina that’s put on a variety of bodies

Have y’all ever made your own avatar?

It’s pretty easy

How difficult would it be to make Totodile

zinc solar

I do free commisions actually

wary knot
#

TOTODILE

#

please

safe marsh
#

free commissions? you either take commisions or do it for free what

zinc solar
#

I do free commisions, the most I'll charge is $1 if someone wants particle effects, or special animations.

#

But commisions are full atm, so not taking any. Do something

safe marsh
#

So you do commissions , don't say free lmao

#

makes zero sense

#

Like saying you sell something for free

wary knot
#

Someone already has a totodile on their disk and I’m pretty sure they’re gonna get it for me PogChamp

zinc solar
#

Free commissions for any avatar, but if people requests something outside of the avatar that's advanced such as animations, or effects then yes I will charge. Avatars are free, effects are not. Derp

wary knot
#

I wish I was talented enough to make avatars

#

That’d be freaking sick

zinc solar

I mean you can give a free cup but got to charge for the soda unless you just want plain water.

viscid crag

Mod team is banning avatar creators for no reason since their cloning feature, have fun making avatars these days :')

Instead of wishing commit yourself to learning if you really want to learn something you can learn it c:

I only make avatars for myself so c:

zinc solar
#

Okay

#

So do soooo many people, nothing special about me or you

safe marsh
#

eh?

#

im just saying that the avatar ban won't impact me, what you on about haHAA

rigid crescent
#

that's just their personality lol

zinc solar
#

Anyone can make an avatar if they got the time, and basic understanding. I only started doing free commisions because people are sometimes too moronic to understand the basics.

wary knot
#

I’ve only ever looked at the software for like 10 seconds, then I had to leave the house, so I’ll probably set aside a day where that’s like, all I learn

rigid crescent

imagine being so petty in response to someone simply trying to motivate someone else

1 &1/2 years ago I thought I’ve never be able to do this too.

zinc solar

I lack any motivation, or emotional concerns towards others. Hence why I am the way I am.

viscid crag

@safe marsh it's not even an avatar ban, random 2 months or even 4y bans :')

safe marsh
#

ikr Mic lol

rigid crescent
#

onyl thing i've heard of is a 3 day public world ban

zinc solar
#

Need a deeper understanding of what you're talking about?

rigid crescent
#

and to be honest the avatar, now that I know what it is, had no business being spread anyway since it's a massive particle spam

zinc solar
#

Is that the avatar steal thing you're talking about?

safe marsh
rigid crescent
#

Herbalist is talking about being banned for having your annoying particle spam avatar cloned

zinc solar
#

No clue what you guys are talking about. All I know is it's something about people getting banned for making avatars

rigid crescent
#

just don't make particle/audio spam avatars, e z

#

I do recall the snappy response to the worry "What happens if people spread annoying avatars?" being "well, just report and it'll be dealt with" soooo

safe marsh
#

i think i never used a single avatar with crazy effects...it's just so annoying...the worst ive done was poping a sword out 😐 sometimes i think im too lowkey

viscid crag
#

Why would you even support a mod team like that tbh

#

public is all about annoying avatars these days with their clone feature

rigid crescent
zinc solar
#

Yesterday I was a spider and switch because someone had arachnophobia, but then I saw 4 more people with the same avatar, and more spawning chasing that person

viscid crag
#

Most of them weren't even meant to be spread either way.

opaque hawk
#

Now that I know that static meshes are very optimized I’m going to go to town with props

rigid crescent
#

If it's not meant to be spread put in on Private or turn off Sharing.

safe marsh
#

Oof. the spiders avatars....ive blocked so many..

rigid crescent
#

Why would I not support a mod team that at least made an attempt to keep annoying avatars from being spread? lol

#

just don't do things with the intent to annoy others? Kind of easy

#

I disapprove of about a million other things they do, sure, but this specific case not really

zinc solar
#

I only change avatars if someone is too scared, or too bothering.

opaque hawk
#

Game design 101 β€œdo no annoying”

safe marsh
#

Like if 5+ ppl are gona clone the spider avatar and put themselves on my face when i freaking hate spiders to death, yeah , have fun being blocked.

#

and ppl think thats funny since they laugh and stuff..i simply don't get it...

rigid crescent
#

EVERYONE agreed and suddenly someone's friend is in trouble and now they don't? lul no

zinc solar
#

Yeah, I rarely use my spider avatar since some people are scared or have arachnophobia

viscid crag

everyone

obsidian oxide
#

was wondering and thinking about maybe getting a vr headset afterall... how much space on average do you need/have for vr... also, whats the difference in oculus or vive for vrchat - pro/cons

rigid crescent
#

I'm sorry, the majority of users with a brain agreed that you can just report users with annoying avatars.

#

Everyone is a poor generalization, you're right.

opaque hawk
#

@obsidian oxide I recommend a decent sized play area. Wmr can handle the smallest play space where oculus and vice need slightly bigger play spaces.

rigid crescent
#

"Wait a second, we're being held accountable for our actions? Ugh fuck this moderation team!"

viscid crag
#

Oh I thought you meant the update in general.

opaque hawk
#

4x5 feet should do it

obsidian oxide
#

"decent sized" how big is that and whats wmr

#

ah

rigid crescent
#

Nah the cloning thing is fun but needs a pedestal only option, but even then if your friends are being a dick with your avatar that you spread you're probably still gonna get in trouble

zinc solar
#

"Majority of users with a brain" What's the other folks? Jellyfish?

opaque hawk
#

Wmr is windows vr headsets

viscid crag
#

That's exactly the issue with this update

rigid crescent
#

I mean don't spread annoying avatars and you won't get in trouble.

viscid crag
#

One guy gets banned for having an avatar laying around, while others abuse it. Then suddenly avatar worlds disappear because the author is banned

opaque hawk
#

Atm the best headset for VRChat is oculus because it now runs nativity on it’s storefront

viscid crag
#

just yeeting content from the game

rigid crescent
#

"laying around" it was public. he had it set to public and he had sharing on

viscid crag
#

let's put sharing on default on

rigid crescent
#

they told everyone here and in the patch notes

obsidian oxide
#

oculus because its easy to set up? ok iirc vive was praised back when vrchat first came out because... uhhh can't remember but iirc everyone was shitting on oculus

viscid crag
#

You don't default something like that on.

wary knot
#

I actually really like my Rift

opaque hawk
#

Things have changed

safe marsh
#

@obsidian oxide wmr if u have no playspace, oculus/vive for best experience and reasonable sized playspace, vive for full body shenanigans

rigid crescent
#

You're right, it should've been off by default.

viscid crag
#

You can easily already see the impact of it.

rigid crescent
#

both parties are in the wrong, it's just that one can't be punished for it

obsidian oxide
#

well thats a big difference that was missing from his suggestion... vive for full body...

rigid crescent
#

also he can just re-public his world when he's unbanned, it's literally a 3 day public world ban

obsidian oxide
#

is occulus not capable of that then i guess

rigid crescent
#

he can still play too

safe marsh
#

it is i think, you can mix, but im a vive user, cant rly talk for the oculus part

hasty wedge
#

u can if u mix with vive light houses

#

but its extra $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

rigid crescent
#

If you want full body just get the Vive

#

if you don't, or are unsure, get oculus

wary knot
#

Yeah. Price is also better

earnest harbor
#

I wish the mod team would deal with the logout crashers

viscid crag
#

He got a 2 week ban and after a try for an appeal he got a 4y ban

#

That's why I don't approve of this at all.

obsidian oxide
#

are cables ever getting in the way? i'd think you'd always notice them or at least sometimes you'd feel them slightly dragging you because of the weight hanging down from you... iirc vive had a wireless version, what about occulus

safe marsh
#

I for example have a vive coz i wanted to have full body c: ease of life

earnest harbor
#

Well you can mix, it's just super expensive to mix rift with HTC fbt

obsidian oxide
#

i already sometimes have the urge to reposition everything on my desk because its not in "the right spot" when i'm playing.. like that one gif of a starcraft pro who adjusts his keyboard and mouse with a ruler before the match lol... i just thought it could really be immersion breaking sometimes

safe marsh
#

You get used to the cables and you basically turn and whatnot in ways that the cables won't annoy, like muscle memory...i can dance with the cables , do 360 turns and whatever, but ofc you can allways pay the extra buck and get the wireless.

rigid crescent
#

which avatar are we talking about that got someone banned? i figured it as the emoji thing since that's what i kept hearing about here

#

also i genuinely doubt the appeal is what got them a 4 year ban, odds are they tried to circumvent it

wary knot
#

After you play for a while, you subconsciously move so that the cords don’t get in your way

rigid crescent

I'm sympathetic to people that are victims of bad moderation but that's just too suspicious to not question

Just don’t make bad Avatars 4head

tidal aspen

making an avatar that's abusable public πŸ€”

rigid crescent

I mean, there's a time and a place for memey avatars

#

typically they're in the box where there's plenty of space

#

falloff, etc. im sure they're not all made with the intent to abuse, but you've gotta take into account that it's something heavily abusable, which to me seems extremely obvious in most cases

There's not much of a bump, the DDOS and current network issues really turned off a lot of casual players

pliant prawn

It was in the low-mid 5k for that past little while

no

rigid crescent
#

October/November were probably the busiest months since the boom and then the DDOS was in november and we're RIP now.

lapis nebula
#

I totally disagree

rigid crescent
#

I don't mean the game is dead, it's just lost a significant amount of casual users

lapis nebula
#

If they’re casual, then, not worth worrying about imho

we just need new world editing mechanics

Im over here learning how to make these Rogurs start shooting eachother in PlayMaker

pliant prawn

@lapis nebula yeah what f2p game needs casual players amirite?

rigid crescent

and they were frequent enough players to let us hit 8k-9k most weekends in october/early november

lapis nebula
#

If you love a social environment like VRChat as much as I do, you keep using it and don’t let technical difficulties or attacks put you off

rigid crescent
#

So basically only the obsessed? That's a terrible mindset for future growth.

#

The "real fan" argument. A really bad one.

pliant prawn
#

Nah put in a monthly subscription so only the h a r d c o r e players hang around

lapis nebula

If it keeps the Knuckles at bay, I’m happy

"Real fans" are more likely than anyone else to get annoyed at technical difficulties or issues with the dev team

earnest harbor
#

Id rather have knuckles than the crashers we have now

errant vault
#

i miss those critters

median basalt
#

Because "real fans" play the game a lot and can get their frustrations built up when they're being ignored or shot down instantly

lapis nebula
#

After the trust control, I’ve had no issues with crashers

median basalt
#

I have had the same issues before and after the trust system: almost none

In terms of crashers

rigid crescent

The problem is that there were so many undealt with that we even needed the system lol

Still see modified clients but not as much as a few months ago

even if it wasn't a "trust" system and just a "do yo uwant this on or off" kind of thing

There's plenty of logout crashers in the game, and they'll not hesitate to hit you if you say something they don't like

Curious if anyone has found a way to increase upload speeds between Unity and Amazon S3 when uploading avatars and worlds. It appears to cap out around 890kb/s for me. Anywhere else I can get about 12mb/s. Or is this just rate limiting on S3?

could be your ISP, could be Amazon S3

For that stuff its best to ask within VRCtraders ( #community-servers-old )

Also get someone to refer you to someone else for an avatar as that works out best.

#

Can you do a Kermit imitation?

#

I actually made a deku for someone some time ago πŸ˜„

#

But yea

wary knot
#

Omfg I’m really jealous of who got it

#

Do you have a picture of it/can I see it

#

I can say β€œKermit the frog here” in a good Kermit accent, but nothing else OOF @vocal shard

umbral reef
#

Btw mirror you still with NcR?

vocal shard
#

RIP

#

If someone here should ever wander somewhere to get domething done for themselves on their avatar make sure you get along with the person well and that they take their time. Nothing against vrc traders, but i’ve heard a lot of bad things about the people offering service there so make sure to be careful

umbral reef
#

Its why i suggest you get someone trusted there and have them recommend someone

vocal shard
#

@umbral reef no, i quit ncr like 4 years ago after pouring 5 years into it

umbral reef
#

Wait you left that long ego?

vocal shard
#

Yes

#

Get someone trusted to be the middleman?

#

Middleman?

#

Just talk to who you think you can trust

umbral reef
#

Wait that was after the user boom on the website right? Or right when the website went down?

vocal shard
#

If was while plug was diing

#

And i quit making nightcore

umbral reef
#

Ayyy- That explains it. Was confused as i recall seeing you after it got back up

#

But prob had the times wrong

vocal shard
#

Im still on their discord

#

But thats about it, they renamed to their own community as they didnt want to deal with having to wait for danikas approval all the time

umbral reef
#

lmao

#

Well 331 did the same kinda
We just did everything without waiting for sarah and i was pretty much the proxy host until she stepped down after some pushback for actions

vocal shard
#

Yea and after i decided to do a gaming community which didnt happen and now in creating my own content together with a friend since march πŸ˜„

halcyon kestrel
#

Mirror Sim

vocal shard
#

I had a big fight with rainzy which made me quit lel

#

@halcyon kestrel sim?

halcyon kestrel
#

Simulator

vocal shard
#

Im not sure i understand what you are trying to say

umbral reef
#

Vrchat has loads of mirror potato's

halcyon kestrel
#

VRChat is Mirror sim

vocal shard
#

Oh

#

XD ok so i actually understood

#

True though. And if you want people to stare at you all the time, make your own avatar a mirror :^)

halcyon kestrel
#

XD

umbral reef
#

Cant anymore after the camera stuff got yeet'd GWtogaTheSaddest

vocal shard
#

Maybe with shaders

#

Im not good with shaders though so Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

umbral reef
#

The world shaders use a camera so GWnanamiLaceShrug
Maybe you could but i doubt it tbh

vocal shard
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

@umbral reef for how long have you been with vrchat then? O.o

umbral reef
#

Uuuu over a year by now

vocal shard
#

πŸ‘Œ

umbral reef
#

I proxy took over Nc331 9 months before the website died
Then pushed us onto another website where we kept most users
Stayed on plug for a while before i got bored and school/work took over.
So then i went to here and well- Still here

Does anyone have an Ahegao face of anything from VRChat? DM me a pic!! I need one for an avatar

#

yeet

vast tulip
#

@umbral reef a good, nice rigging job can be way more then $20. thats not easy work to do well at all

vocal shard
#

Do you make your own stuff?

#

Exactly mimi

umbral reef
#

@vocal shard I fix my own stuff- Cant be assed to model things so all i do is swap stuff, repair and weight paint

vocal shard
#

XD i see

#

Thats fine though

opaque hawk
#

That is perfectly fine. I see a lot of people just download prefab avatars and they never learn the basics.

umbral reef
#

I know how to do everything by hand πŸ‘
Because when i started our qtie hotox and givemeallyourcats or what it was again there program was from finished πŸ˜‚

#

All i used it for was translating materials after i learned it could do that
As i got annoyed by having to use another for it

earnest harbor
#

Yeah learning that is handy but rigging from nothing is ughh...

weak lantern
#

Any news on the login loop fix yet?

umbral reef
weak lantern
#

Kinda sucks i cant hang with my friends

vast tulip
#

I didnt even know there was a login loop issue

#

is this only for certain people?

#

or is it random?

weak lantern
#

What city is the server located

forest salmon
#

For me I have it almost every time so I have to enter my login data any time I want to play

weak lantern
#

I get it after i login and then goto a world from home

rigid crescent
#

Lots of people with satellite internet apparently

umbral reef
#

Its the .3 fix they pushed
Went from fully locked out of the game to being into only able to join the spawn world mimi

#

And ping effects stability of the network and can get you yeet'd

rigid crescent
#

Gearbell couldn't log in for liek 11 days and that's the longest i heard of, and despite there being a workaround, it's an extremely tedious one that doesn't work for everyone

weak lantern
#

Whats the work around?

forest salmon
#

Are there ports you have to open? Cause for some reason it takes ages to start downloading avatars, or worlds but once it starts it goes quite fast

zinc solar
#

Can we add chairs to avatars?

rigid crescent
#

Yes...

zinc solar
#

Just add the chair prefab and that's it?

vast tulip
#

@zinc solar you need the new sdk

vocal shard
#

@zinc solar don't add the prefab ... add the station component, as explained in the release notes

languid beacon
#

Do avatar stations not support enter and exit positions? I can’t upload if they are not empty

vocal shard
#

My computer was working fine with VRChat yesterday on my Mixed Reality headset but now it's being slow

empty wharf
#

Check your task manager.

raven silo
#

check if your memory and cpu

empty wharf
#

It’s generally gonna be slow if there’s a crazy amount of CPU use

flat charm
#

sooo why are people getting banned for having a donald trump or pepe avatar?

empty wharf
#

Impersonation and that frog is the devil

vocal shard
#

maybe cause Trump is a nazi

flat charm
#

i dont know why its wrong but ok

empty wharf
#

It’s in the rules. But don’t ask me

flat charm
#

ig

queen mango
#

Politics are a no-no either, even figures of politics

empty wharf
#

Yea. The impersonation rule goes for Communtiy figures

flat charm
#

i dont get the pepe though

vocal shard
#

it's a stupid meme

flat charm
#

like fortnite isnt?

empty wharf
#

Fortnite isn’t a meme it’s a game

queen mango
#

It was used for racism and as a hate symbol, so to speak

flat charm
#

ah

empty wharf
#

And Pepe is overused

#

Best to let that subject die.

queen mango
#

It was pulled out of the obscure can by memers.

flat charm
#

True

empty wharf
#

So are many things they use tbh.

languid beacon
#

I don’t know the devs reason but it does wonders for keeping out a certain type of attitude.

vocal shard
#

hi

queen mango
#

Lemme guess.. YokoThink

Stubborness?

vocal shard
#

anyone up for avatar hunting?

ruby needle
#

if you gonna ask the same thing here im gonna kick your ass.

#

vocal shard
#

Im asking someone to find it with me shush

queen mango
#

Umm.. I dunno but, I'm good.

#

Sorry to break it... Yo no

are any avatar creators online? i would like to put an avatar request πŸ˜ƒ

vocal shard

queen mango
#

Dude.. you just used the same pepe emote.. that ain't allowed around here

vocal shard
#

i will pay in vbucks

queen mango
#

I doubt you're around 13, Supreme

#

Especially with something like that

umbral reef
#

@knotty stag Depeding what you need its best to ask within VRCtraders discord and you can find the link within #community-servers-old

dark narwhal
#

"hyper"

queen mango
#

I doubt it...

vocal shard
#

Alright you doubt it. I know the truth πŸ˜‰

dark narwhal
#

yeah u do wink

knotty stag
#

thank you @umbral reef ^-^

median basalt
#

@umbral reef you're still not banned despite this failed attempt at "snark" on his part

#

Lmao

umbral reef
#

πŸ‘€ oi

median basalt
#

Was searching old stuff and found this

#

I like how Little Mouse is suddenly acting like the limits are the best thing evar

umbral reef
#

Thats my last insult i made in here c:

median basalt
#

They were grumbling about it almost everywhere

rigid crescent
#

damn imagine your dates being formatted wrong

median basalt
#

Excuse me?

#

Day/Month/Year or Year/Month/Day is logical, MDY is an americanism :^)

rigid crescent
#

That's GREAT Americanism :3

#

It's OK, LM is fixing all their avatars ❀ they posted some progress in opt

#

well, maybe upping new ones

median basalt
#

Yeah I saw, but their sudden change of heart is setting off all my bullshit meters

#

They're acting like it's the greatest thing ever in here, even though they have complained about the limits a ton

#

In their own Discord too, they called it "a natural consequence of high quality models"

rigid crescent
#

naw gonna give everyone a chance, i've had friends that kind of seem to "get it" after all this info being thrown around

median basalt
#

They're also still selling other people's assets

#

Even admitted to it on /r/VRchat

rigid crescent
#

i mean i dont care about the commission thing, it's whatever to me

median basalt
#

And every time they came up in this Discord they have been DM'ing people to try and save face

rigid crescent
#

also that's not wrong, it is a natural consequence of a high quality model. the problem is we shouldn't be making those lol

#

Well, to a degree. No excuse for mats and stuff like that but DB can really make something look awesome

median basalt
#

I got a DM from one of them basically saying that they used Filn's models for their avatars, and later on (a few months later) they denied it

#

They just seem like scummy people tbh

#

I have not heard a single good thing about them

vocal shard
#

Low poly is my aesthetic

empty wharf
#

Lot of those everywhere

vocal shard
#

Gimmie dem Sega Saturn looking models pls

median basalt
#

Lol, I should take some of my older models and completely wreck the normals

empty wharf
#

Lot of drama and jerks in the avatar creation community. Meanwhile the rest are just tryna make good stuff

median basalt
#

So you can see every poly

rigid crescent
#

I honestly just want public world avatars moderated properly, I'm not here to fix people's personalities lol

empty wharf
#

Same

#

I’m just here to meet potential friends

rigid crescent
#

Makes no difference to me if the person is my friend or some jerk random, just fix your world's stuff.

empty wharf
#

I respect that

vocal shard
#

I hate the worlds that give me double or triple vision. Ewgh

queen mango
#

Even more so with screenshaker avatars.

rigid crescent
#

I know approximately one person who took advantage of old worlds not being rescanned in order to fix his stuff and now it's newly published with all good+ avatars. not really a common thing. most people get their world taken down for accidentally re-uploading, otherwise they'd just keep overwriting IDs with bad ones

torn nebula
#

@vocal shard that might just be someone who doesn't have VR and couldn't test their shaders to be fair

vocal shard
#

Ah okay, there's only been 3 worlds that have done that to me. It hurts sometimes lol

median basalt
#

If it's the world itself that should be caught on review

#

But I've heard rumors that in the past, some reviewers would test on desktop

torn nebula
#

I've jumped into a new world only to instantly get double vision before, so I could believe that

earnest harbor
#

I'm still not a fan of the good reqs and I still aint fix mine.

median basalt
#

I strive to be within public world limits

earnest harbor
#

And the world thing, there was a spooky map that got broken vision with the update

median basalt
#

I'll deal with my realtime light making me Very Poor even though it only casts light on players, has an incredibly small radius and has no shadows

earnest harbor
#

YOU

median basalt
#

I just want them to fix the particle stuff so my system doesn't mistakenly get counted as having 3 million mesh particle polys

#

I could just make the limits so high that it wraps around and becomes negative 2 billion

earnest harbor
#

People like you with lit models that break mine.... grr

median basalt
#

How so?

#

It's a tiny light on the head that doesn't even reach far enough to affect anyone else

#

I might as well bake in the emission

earnest harbor
#

Depends on the light honestly, but there's a light that people use that break the shader horribly

#

But my very poor are because of dyn bones and colliders..

median basalt
#

Oh yeah, dynamic bones kill my avatars too. I gotta redo the weight paint on my skirts at some point.

earnest harbor
#

Then there's guns and swords being separate meshes that knock down rating

median basalt
#

If you can, make them regular mesh renderers

#

For sheathed swords, you can probably make them a separate mesh attached to your hips

#

Or at least the sword

#

Or make it part of the same mesh and replace the material with an "empty" one when you need to draw it

#

Shader with no ZWrite and ColorMask 0

tidal aspen
#

point lights are still somewhat expensive even if they don’t use shadows

earnest harbor
#

Nahh like I said, I'll keep them as is since they aren't a part of the problem

median basalt
#

Yeah, I know they're expensive but it's the only way to achieve the effect I need

stone current
#

aaa

#

when someone joins with a super laggy avatar and half the server clones it

subtle prawn
#

:>

stone current
#

someones tank was huge and drops me to like 5 frames

#

then 10 people cloned it and oof game broke

median basalt
#

Need Godot's mask to glow lol

#

Can't achieve it any other way, baked emission wouldn't look right

torn nebula
valid sandal
#

Avatar issue still there

earnest harbor
#

If only there was like a minimum spec for vrc that people would listen to...

queen mango
#

Consider one for the desktop users

earnest harbor
#

Or you know... a test to see if your system was qualified for VR and that could be the baseline

weak lantern
#

I just uploaded and made alt avatars for when i can login again

vocal shard
#

How do I connect to EU servers?

manic salmon
#

there are no separate servers for different regions

lunar zenith
#

I get sooooo annoyed in open mic night! Everytime I say something, a guy wants to start showing me his guitar skills or singing. They all sound the same!

not using animations to pick up girls πŸ€”

#

Them normies

#

Full body tracking + animations is how you do it smartboi

earnest harbor
#

Did you just greentext? πŸ€”

umbral oracle
#

The right way to pick up girls is a nepstack with all chairs turned on

stone current
#

lol my avtar marked good but in game is p00r

#

angery

#

no its a chopstick with a station at its base

zinc solar
#

Every avatar that people consider attractive is inferior to anything else. I play VRChat to be Santa shrek with a sprite cransberry and 99 Prayer cape, not to hide my appearance behind some character from deviantarts wet dream and look for a VRGF to bust that VRNut

ruby burrow
#

I play VRC probably to enjoy the freedom that VR allows, and also because inside of VRC, socialising is somehow just completely different for me than outside.

#

Maybe it's the fact that inside the game, I can assume that everyone is just there to relax and enjoy themselves, and also going to share interests and world experience far more similar to my own.

meager shell
#

If anyone wants to friend me my steam name is Cadeocracy912

idle cipher
#

is anyone getting this weird issue where their steam client just suddenly exit by itself which cause VRChat to go not responding?

queen mango
#

Huh.. that's new

#

You sure something In your network or software isn't working right?

weak lantern
#

Im going to give VRC a few more days before i give up on it

opaque hawk
#

are you having network troubles?

weak lantern
#

7+ days now and cant goto any worlds other than the home one

opaque hawk
#

Yeah there a few people with that problem.
