I am able to goto rooms now but it can take from 1min to 40mins to change a room
If everyone did that then i bet i may lag servers due to the login loops
Hope its fixed soon

Even maps you previously visited get similar loading timea?

it has to do with me being in Australia i think

100% of deaths happen on earth, 71% of the earth is water. We only live to die to water.. It was over before it even begun.

I also have a conspiracy on how VRChat is secretly funded by EA to test out micro-transactions, and sell VR Headsets

no vrc keeps funding by sending the camera and mic to companies

The corn Industries have full access to all ERP sessions, The movie industry finds all the trends going around in VRChat, and the meme community find out what's new in the raid community.
Speaking of raids, the "Chungus" meme is soo stupid/ That's like a 2013 meme, and for some reason it's now back with a dumb name, and people making stupid predictable memes.
I remember it back in 2013 in an image board some people were spamming it as a joke to fat people, and some people using different versions of it to make fun of celebrities
Why did it suddenly get popular again? Are people running out of memes?
zinc solar
oh.....
ehhh.....
hmmmm......
:y
I may sound like an old man, but the memes today are dumb as hell.
queen mango
By the way, what is this "Chungus" meme?
earnest harbor
Depends
burnt marsh
Does anyone know of an avatar world that has the fat miku in it
queen mango
Oh that one..
zinc solar
No, but I can make you a fat Miku when I get home. Naked, clothed? what you looking for?
burnt marsh
I can make myself a fat miku I just want to be one right now without working on it 😦
zinc solar
okay, no idea on world. I just know I have a fat Miku from a commission, and I still have the SFW and NSFW version
burnt marsh
Ill hit you up if I change my mind
zinc solar
But back to memes, memes use to be witty, clever, and had a great punchline. nowadays it's "When your mom""When school" followed by some cartoon or barely relatable video. As well as the ones that are so predictable it ruins the punchline, adding an earblasting sound/song doesn't make it funny. I'm not 8, we're loud noises make me laugh. But I guess todays memes target audience are for a younger generation.

It's like the parentheses meme going on in this discord that's actually sad

I liked Joseph Ducreux when he was everywhere. Took a lot of googling to remember what his name was.
queen mango
Alrght.. where will you be, Cloak?
And yeah.. I loved the old memes; Philosoraptor, Conspirator Keanu Reeves, Rickroll, and the Trololol
teal turtle
Philosoraptor was great
queen mango
Plus, the "What if I told you" meme
teal turtle
insanity wolf always got a laugh out of me too
queen mango
Ridiculous
Lolcat is the best meme
And "The Most Interesting Man In the World" meme as well
I don't always drink, but when I do, it's Dos Equis
Stay thirsty, friends
Umm.. did I just kill chat?
teal turtle
I think the craziest thing about memes nowadays is how they go as quickly as they come.
They'll be popular for like, a month. Then it's onto the next thing.
zinc solar
Where will I be what?
languid beacon
Just spitballing a hypothetical
what if instead of a public pedestal, a world just had an account with a clonable avatar just standing there, forever
Is that against the rules

Well, my laptop usually hits around 90fps in othe rmaps
wise trench
Maybe they haven't updated it?
vocal shard
Do u know the name from hes skin @wise trench ?
wise trench
Or fixed it since the new updates in VRC
queen mango
I don't seem to know what exactly is consuming my frames in the Visual TV Studios..
Maybe that..
wise trench
Name if his skin Nani?

I bet he put I togeher in blender with different parts from mmd model in deviant art
vocal shard
😭
wise trench
So you can find it in deviant art but don't know the base he uses 
vocal shard
i would hes skin too
vocal shard
cuzz hes skin is cool
wise trench
Well
Do call it model or avatar cause I'm think in the actual skin of the model and not the base itself
You can find lots more bases in deviantart
safe marsh
Are you looking for the face skin?
wise trench
rigid crescent
i hear avatars referred to as skins by newer users
wise trench
O.o
wise trench
Well they gotta learn its called models or avatar smh
vocal shard
You can thank league for that
With their “skins”
Aka calling different avatars based on the main avatar a “skin”
safe marsh
i'll never understand why ppl give the same name to everything after they heard it on one game
to the point of since in League they are champions, in every other moba is also champions
next thing u know u calling them champions in fifa too
safe marsh
a retarded comparison but i think u got my point

because its the popular term for a similar feature

I'm an aspiring 3d graphic who is studying the cartoon CGI world and I wanted to ask you how I can upload my avatar or some of my 3d scene inside VRchat
?
safe marsh
hm
U need a specific version of Unity and Vrchat SDK that u can find in the vrc website
grim flint
I'm using the same version written by dev wiki
vocal shard
The 3rd or 4th latest post in #announcements should help you get started @grim flint
grim flint
just one thing how can I test my models inside vrchat?
grim flint
done everything
vocal shard
Do you have unity?
grim flint
yes
vocal shard
You need to import your model as a fbx into unity
Then when you have the vrcsdk, log into your account and upload your model. There are a lot of videos explaining this i suggest you check youtue
Youtube*
woven steppe
You could somewhat test your model by having someone with VR help you with it.
vocal shard
Yea
safe marsh
Can allways take it to MMD map and put the avatar to dance
Thats how ive been somewhat testing my avatar before i get the fbt
safe marsh
Not the same
Most of the times it looks good on unity but ingame it will derp
Thats why i prefe the mmd dance map, the dance provoke all the ugly things u wanna see to fix
Since there are some derpy dances there
woven steppe
oh yeah... the most popular MMD dance map also has the map camera that allows you to get a view from any angle

How come I didn't notice?
Maybe I wasn't giving much thought about it.
Oh well..
grim flint
I wanted to ask you how can I test the avatars?
meager solstice
What u mean test @grim flint
Mmd world is a perfect way to test a model to see if it has problems
grim flint
I want to test an avatar of mine that I did
I checked in yesterday and he told me it's impossible that I can load
queen mango
You can test your models in MMD dance maps.. some of them have fast dance moves too
vocal shard
Ohhh
grim flint
Error Not Yet allowed to publish worlds

Oh

You need to play for some time first
woven steppe
ok yeah... that's a problem
meager solstice
U haven’t reached the trust rank required to upload
velvet quarry
Playing the game normally should give you access to uploading in due time, just keep in mind that just idling somewhere will not work.
woven steppe
That bit's pretty much the only thing I have a caveat about the Trust system... Aspiring content creators can't just hop in on the platform and make stuff.
safe marsh
oh shit my chat was completely off, ignore this out of place message LOL

don't worry that conversation was recent enough in memory

Is it just me, or is hugging someone in VRChat a really odd but cool sensation
twin jacinth
phantom touch is
twin jacinth
I have the phantom touch
Is pretty weird
woven steppe
acquire synesthesia
twin jacinth
Na Ni
woven steppe
It's some wonky condition which would probably be odd in VR
twin jacinth
Can you explain?
woven steppe
it's when your senses are... too linked I guess...
rough pulsar
I have synesthesia if you're interested in the details :V
woven steppe
Basically... you smell something... but other senses are also triggered
twin jacinth
Yeah i am interested Gallium :>
Wait so if you smell some food you can taste it as well?
woven steppe
I mean imagining what it's like is probably nowhere like what it actually is like.
too many "like" in that sentence...
I don't like it
rough pulsar
You got the basic idea of it right, it's where stuff from one sense stimulates another. For example sound > colour, just one of many in my case.
Result is any sound I hear I literally see a coloured blob in my vision.
The true nature of the experience goes far beyond what language is capable of, so all descriptions are just limited abstractions.
twin jacinth
Sounds weird but also cool, do you find it easier to connect things and remember?
I feel like if you make those connections you might find it easier to remember certain things
woven steppe
Now I'm curious as to what synesthesia would be like to someone who has a disability in one of the senses
like would a deaf person hear things they see?
woven steppe
Blind person is literally Daredevil
rough pulsar
If an event has a sound connected to it that often makes the memory a lot stronger.
It's common for blind people to wind up with synsthesia that triggers colours.
rigid crescent
Damn, cheating the system
torn nebula
I've heard that a lot of people actually have undiagnosed synethesia - it's typically not a huge impediment to daily life and so a lot of people with it just never realize it's anything unusual
rough pulsar
Yeah, it's suggested that potentially as many as 20% may have it in some form.
And from all the other synesthetes I've met the impact on daily life almost always ranges from neutral to positive.
woven steppe
I mean I think it's natural for your body to develop reactionary responses to certain things you perceive.
torn nebula
I guess us 80% are missing out then :(
wary knot
But like. I hugged this guy and where we touched my body would tingle and it was pretty cool
That sounds awfully sexual now that I say that
woven steppe
Everything can be taken sexual... don't worry about it
rough pulsar
If you want to get just the vaguest sample of what a fragment of it is like, play Rez.
Trippy rail-shooter that's basically a synesthesia simulator.
rough pulsar
Aw yeah! We got another here!
wary knot
But I don’t get it with voices
queen mango
Do goosebump feelings count when hearing good music?
torn nebula
Do you get it with voices speaking in a language you don't know?
woven steppe
Rez?... so Synesthesia is basically like being constantly trippin shrooms?
rough pulsar
I think that's something else Elire, although I wouldn't be surprised if there was some crossover somehow.
@woven steppe My synesthesia is pretty far up there on the intensity scale, so for me yeah. I'm almost always mildly tripping out at least.
umbral reef
@queen mango Your new PFP confused me so hard man
torn nebula
@woven steppe synesthesia is one documented effect of some psychedelic drugs from what I hear. But they tend to have other effects as well...
twin jacinth
Sounds cool tbh
wary knot
Does anyone else get really vivid daydreams
safe marsh
<
to the point of feeling detatched from reality? i had that a lot during my teen years.
wary knot
Yes
vocal shard
yes, not the reality part
wary knot
I’m only 15, pog
vocal shard
Same here
rough pulsar
Yep. There's basically 4 ways to get synesthesia, two are difficult and two are very dangerous.
Difficult ones are: Be lucky and be born with it
Meditation
Dangerous ones are:
Head injury
Drugs
vocal shard
For the detachment of reality
twin jacinth
Yes and i have extremely vivid dreams
I dream every night and can remember them very cleary, up to 3-5 dreams and in extreme cases 7
Pretty cool, i won't complain
safe marsh
it was nice to go through boring things for the most part, id be there but i wasnt there either kind of thing lol
vocal shard
Hmm, can only hit the 3
Used it as a basis for writing a small novel
For school one day
rough pulsar
If you need help dreaming way too much, listen to some 4-6hz binaural beats while you sleep.
Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II is great for this.
woven steppe
getting detached from reality? I get that when I take long walks
queen mango
I had meditated only once, but once I did.. I felt like I was somewhere else entirely..
woven steppe
which can be REALLY DANGEROUS
vocal shard
Hmmm, Ambient music
wary knot
I think I also love VR because it feels like my daydreams, but even more real because of irl hand presence
queen mango
Or just general ambience, both help very well
woven steppe
I can't count the times I've almost walked into traffic
There's that bit of my brain that's alert enough that tells the rest of it "Yo... stop that, we gon die!"
torn nebula
Re ASMR: There's fMRI research being done to try to figure out if it's a form of synesthesia apparently
queen mango
queen mango
Just having someone pat me, well my avatar, in the head gives me the same feeling, even though I'm in desktop
queen mango
It's kinda comfy..
safe marsh
i can feel everything in vr, but desktop? owo weird
rigid crescent
like pizza, or flowers. things with distinct scents
umbral reef
I feel jack shit ingame beside people getting to close to my face
Shit triggers me IRL when i dont have my personal space and that same feeling moves over when in Vr
woven steppe
getting poked in the eye
rough pulsar
I'm willing to bet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron play a key part in some of the weird sensory stuff that happens in VR.
torn nebula
And yet your name asks for hugs 🤔
rigid crescent
oh i sometimes feel a weird warmnss on my face if i press something to my nose area
rough pulsar
Especially considering the way vrchat's mirrors are practically MMD magnets
safe marsh
i spend 90%+ of the time in this game cuddling coz i can feel it all .w. im a useless one in vrc xd
queen mango
Yep.."Elire" sounds like a child's name.. Meww
woven steppe
You do understand same child can grow up to be an adult...

sand ore
Hey are there any tuts for that thing that lets you manipulate your playspace? I use a lot of small avatars so I feel like that would really come in handy.
sand ore
Is it relatively easy to get working?
polar elm
Easy to install but advanced setup is a little harder but they have a video on it
sand ore
Oh okay, thanks for the help.
sand ore
For any more help you can ask in #avatars-2-general
So I been trying to install the playspace mover, and I got the input emulator thing, and it installed fine, but now the playspace mover just gets stuck on "looking for input emulator"
torn nebula
@sand ore note that you need a different version of openvr-inputemulator, check the pins in #full-body-tracking
The version at the original github page is like a year out of date and incompatible with current steamvr
vocal shard
Admins or crchat team? i need to ask a question!
modern sand
vocal shard
but.. it is only i want to make me own avatar but i need SDK and i put me ingame name in and me password but it says its wrong
modern sand
Then it's probably wrong !
vocal shard
😦 i cant make me own avatar than
sand ore
Yeah, @torn nebula I installed that patch thing and it does the same thing
do I need the advanced settings thing aswell or just the emulator
torn nebula
Ah. Weird. Do you see the openvr tab when you hit the system button in VR?
sand ore
yeah the openvr tab shows
tiny ginkgo
I don't know but if you give up already you will never reach your goal
torn nebula
Yeah not sure what's up with that then, sorry :/
tiny ginkgo
You have to keep trying. There must be a solution.
torn nebula
Ask around in #user-support-old or #full-body-tracking to see if someone else has seen that I guess
tiny ginkgo
@vocal shard

Did you install all the things listed in the github documentation?

@vocal shard make sure you are NOT using your Display name but Account name

but would i lose my status of known user?
sand ore
Oh I fixed it just incase anyone else has/had this problem steamvr was in safe mode after turning off safe mode it worked.
craggy agate
and its stupid my name dose not change from steam to vrchat steam
it says logging in to derokunsama but ends showing neko_kun

its so hard to make a own avatar 😭

@craggy agate Account name isnt the same as the Display name though

oh
how do i meriage steam account and vrchat account
i am gonna jump on to vrchat account

icy monolith
Man I’d save a ton of money just learning how to make avatars myself xD
woven steppe
@vocal shard Start with something simpler first instead of going for the whole package. I personally started with custom animations replacers to replace default ones. Pick a starting point and expand from there...
That said, there's a wealth of information out there to get you started.
torn nebula
How much is the going rate for custom avatars anyway?
umbral reef
Its not that hard once you get the basics and with tools like Cats and the documentation we have
icy monolith
In the 100$-400$
icy monolith
Yes
umbral reef
Also custom is custom
Not just an fixed mmd import
icy monolith
Rip my fantasy of having my OC in crochet xD
woven steppe
No really... I've seen people charge like $20 for some top stuff
icy monolith
Vrchat
polar elm
Learning todo it yourself is priceless tho
icy monolith
Oh wow plz link me ach
torn nebula
I mean, for the time they'd spend on the avatar $100-400 actually sounds reasonable
woven steppe
On the other side of the coin I know someone who's really bad at making "Optimized" avatars but will literally do it for free...
craggy agate
i don't understand this shit

okay so now I have another problem, even though I configured the settings properly and it installed the Playspace Mover whenever I click both menu buttons nothing happens

Chaorro did you setup the bindings when you launched it? Iirc you need to specify the control masking in either a shortcut or in arguments when you launch it.
I’d suggest making a shortcut to play space mover with your desired control scheme.
woven steppe
As to Cheap VRC avatar makers, Just dig through some Streamer/youtuber discords... You'd find some lurking in there.

@neon flume Go online

I made the shortcut and even restarted steam and steam vr and its still not working
umbral reef
Same for you @rigid crescent ❤

Okay

I also tried adjusting the settings just using command prompt and it didnt work

is there something else you have to do in the openvr once you do that or should it just work after putting in the controls to the shortcut target?

You've installed open vr input emulator right? You'll need that (and the recent steam vr fix) for it to connect. On the prompt that appears when you run PlayspaceMover what does it say?
sand ore
Yeah I installed the input emu and the patch, lemme see what exactly it says when I load it
vocal shard
What is the fix btw? I asked around, but i just got "press disable safe mode"
neon flume
Welcome back Jamie!
The fix is in #full-body-tracking in the pinned post by Gallium.
neon flume
It's a new .dll you'll drop in to replace the old one.
sand ore
thats what it says, and yeah I got the new dll
neon flume
That's very curious Chaorro. Are you using the rift or vive?
sand ore
the vive
vocal shard
Ok, cool
wary knot
Hi
sand ore
-l 2 -r 2 --resetButtonMask 4 --physics --jumpMultiplier 130 --leftTogglePhysicsMask 4 and these are the settings I have pasted into the target
neon flume
Try running it from the powershell/cmd if you haven't already with the bindings shown in the readme on github.
umbral reef
@vocal shard get online 
sand ore
I tried that first, I'll try it again
umbral reef
reeeee
sand ore
o I may have found the problem
I think whoever made those settings for me to copy, used an I but it's supposed to be a 1 according to the github thingy so I'll try that
neon flume
That’ll do it. Hopefully you can get it working now
sand ore
Yeah me too, I'll check back in if that didnt work
umbral reef
vocal shard
I can't go on rn oclac 
sand ore
well nvm that didnt work I guess it is supposed to be an L cause with the L the target it launches but when I change it to a 1 it just doesnt launch the .exe for the playspace mover
lemme try it again though just incase it changed anything
ohhhh wait Im an idiot the reason it stopped working is cause I thought you were supposed to hit ctrl c and close it when it finished, but you gotta leave the .exe running, its working now lol
vocal shard
😝
neon flume
I'm glad to hear you got it working!

Im having a login loop problem. login ring will maybe load 1/3 of the way instantly go to full, Show the spinning vrchat logo with loading then go back to trying to login. Any idea on how to fix?

Ugh well now I have but another issue, whenever I go into vrchat and do it, it changes my camera position and my arms try to move into place but the rest of the avatar stays on the ground but if I have my avatar jump it comes up to where I have it dragged but goes back down when the jump ends

There are hardly any good male MMD's and seeing as MMD is the most popular avatar format male avatars are kinda rare

I had considered getting a model of the Kemono Friends penguin character, and making a joke avatar with a "No non-anime" sign it could hold up.
To reverse that other penguin meme.

Lol

im removing ears and tails from a kemono to use
because i hate them
but realy for the meme
woven steppe
eww... animal bits
floral aspen
am an anime fan, but not a weeb. All of my avatars are game rips, no anime MMD avatars
woven steppe
Would you call an avatar the "same" avatar when every part of it has been replaced?
floral aspen
in this case, no
tacit plank
That's a philosophical question..
woven steppe
My avatar is a Theseus paradox in that state
It technically is still the same "file"
I just ended up swapping everything I started with
tacit plank
A file is the sum of its parts
hasty wedge
is it truly possible to make a model 100% from scratch 
since its making a model using someone elses software
tacit plank
To bake a cake from scratch, you must first invent the universe
floral aspen
Usually when I see that sort of philosophical question come up it's in sci-fi referring to robots with artificial intelligence, or humans that have transferred their minds to a robot body. Since their consciousness doesn't change, just their exterior I consider them to be the same person. But since an avatar is just a lifeless collection of polygons I don't consider it to be the same if you replace all of its parts.
woven steppe
So among you lot who do make avatars... what's the weirdest piece you've made?
tacit plank
I remade nevada-tan, made a character with a sword blade through her head, a shader which can look through some clothes, a few demon girls, etc. Nothing too crazy but I like to think that I'm somewhat original
woven steppe
The oddest thing I made, I never used for myself... Made a C-string in sketchup for a friend who's making a commission for a twitch admin of all people.
opaque hawk
I made kemo girl cosplaying Justin bailey Samus that can fire the power beam, has a baby Metroid prop and can go into morph ball.
woven steppe
that's a mouthful
opaque hawk
It makes me wish Nintendo would make a Metroid prime vr
I also have a Lucina/Pyra fusion with a flaming sword that you can scale the size of
My most recent avatar is a genderswap link and you can turn into a fairy just like in Zelda 2
polar elm
Ive made a whey protein container
opaque hawk
That’s pretty funny actually
burnt marsh
Im still on the prowl for that obese hatsune miku avatar
I went world hopping last night and managed to find an obese lucoa but not quite what I was looking for 😦
opaque hawk
I just remembered, before lag free was banned from world names I made a giant cardboard box avatar with a hand drawn mirror on the inside.
woven steppe
how big?
Enough to safely say that everyone is inside you in whichever map you're in?
opaque hawk
Big enough about 5 people could comfortably fit in there. But not so big the sdk does not let you upload it
woven steppe
As for something I've used... I once made an avatar that could spawn a to scale boat complete with interior
and since I'm desktop I have an avatar which has the hands and arms tied. Although that's hardly a new Idea since I'm sure someone else out there's made something similar.

You prepin for the next 12 hour run?

hey how do I set up the fake trackers so that I can pull myself up with the playspace mover
I enabled the fake trackers but my avatar still stays grounded when I try to pull it up
swift zodiac
you need room scale or what its called
sand ore
oh so just switch to room scale?
swift zodiac
nah you need to do something else that idk know sens i dont have it and my room is to small
but there is something on youtube that can show ya i bet
tacit plank
Today I've played VRChat for exactly a year... And 20 hours, but yeah
woven steppe
so 8780 hours of VRC caffeine?
sand ore
@swift zodiac do you know of any videos? I cant find any and even with room scale I cant get it to work
swift zodiac
@sand ore honestly idk i have a friend who has it
tacit plank
No, just 1730. But I started a year ago

woven steppe
oh I thought like actually a year spent ingame
stoic halo
when your group starts to exclude and leave you out.
queen mango
Oof. I know how that feels
stoic halo
i already have a hard enough time making friends lol
woven steppe
Was AWOL for so long that when I came back there's a lot less friends who are online frequently
stoic halo
they use the world ive made for the group to exclude me alot, i could easily just make it inaccessible
queen mango
Oof
woven steppe
coming back after a really long time felt nice tho...
queen mango
Hmm.. using your world to exclude you..
I sense karma incoming
Still, why do they exclude you?
woven steppe
You know you got keepers when the first thing you see after logging on after 4 months of dropping off the radar's dozens of requests to get into your homeworld room.
stoic halo
idk why they do
woven steppe
relations with someone doesn't just immediately go sour. There must have been something that caused this to start happening.
vocal shard
@stoic halo ill be your friend
stoic halo
i didn't do anything lol.
woven steppe
you don't have to be the one who did something...
vocal shard
said you have a hard time making friends, so heres my offer
woven steppe
something could have happened to your friends.
rigid crescent
could be some misinfo someone spread also, i've seen that happen
woven steppe
Could be IRL shit... could be something between them or someone else... stuff happen
rigid crescent
word travels fast. in VR, "social time" feels so much more accelerated
Like I can easily total 40+hours with some of the friends I know in a week, and by extension their friends, so relationships build and deteriorate a lot faster due to it.
woven steppe
One of the worst things which I have experienced happen to me and admittedly I have also done to some people is: Thinking that you did something that you think would cause the other party to not feel comfortable with you anymore so you distance yourself from them.
rigid crescent
Even during my peak normie portion of my life I didn't hang out with friends offline that much, at most 2 or 3 hours after school when I was in HS
queen mango
Oof..
rigid crescent
But there's been times where I'd hit like 6 hours daily, or more, with certain friends in friend groups
I mean if you count schooltime then obviously that greatly exceeds VR time
queen mango
That sounds like what happened to me a few months ago
rigid crescent
yeah, I've heard that happening too
queen mango
I don't know what I did, but whatever it is, a friend in the group just didn't want to hear me anymore
woven steppe
sometimes I end up having anxiety when attempting to visit someone I know I haven't seen in a while... be like "Would they even like me visiting them now after not visiting them for a long time"
rigid crescent
So when you're seeing some of the same people for literally dozens of hours a week, assuming you don't get tired of them, which i surprisingly don't see happen that often(which is also weird), you build relationships a lot faster. it's a lot easier to meet people in a social space too since the ease of Friend of Friend relationships. Starting from zero in VRChat is the hardest part, but once you've got a foundation of a friend group, you're golden
oof yeah I've had friends like that. That's why I try and greet everyone that joins when I'm in smaller Friends+ rooms. Hit em with that "Wait...is that THE ACH? Like, the real ACH?" or something funny lik that
stoic halo
yeah but this really happened out of nowhere
and i feel like its one person causing it.
woven steppe
Almost exactly the words spoken when I visited a specific group of friends after my 4 month long absence
covert linden
If theyre youre friends then talk to them abou it maybe
Our group began as just me, then I met a bunch of people, threw then together and now theyre a family. Two of us began dating people in the group, and we do more than just vr now. It takes an actual friendship though, one in which we sometimes have to discuss important things, and be strong
woven steppe
https://clips.twitch.tv/SuperOnerousPuppyNerfRedBlaster
This one actually made me tear up after they showed this to me... I never thought I'd even be good enough of a friend for them to miss me, let alone this...
rigid crescent
LOl this clip
that's actually extremely sweet. there's some people im pretty close to ingame that i'd definitely miss/have missed
dusty mason
would i be safe to assume that having to log in everytime i try to play VRChat is a known issue
ruby burrow
The issue I have is being unable to visit everyone at once. : |
When to say bye to one group to go greet the other.
Never knowing how long each will be online for.
Sometimes I'll end up not visiting a person for ages, simply because I was always already sort of busy with someone else at the time they come on.
woven steppe
There's some friends of mine who I know will always be busy whenever I see them online (streamers mostly) so I tend to not visit (which may or may not be a bad idea).
subtle prawn
woven steppe
I'm less likely to watch a VRCstreamer who I'm not friends with already I find... but from time to time I still brows the VRC section to see smaller ones.
zinc solar
The female VRStreamers are annoying, mutes rely on people/friends to entertain me, raids are all the same, and the rest are just them in a circle jerk of friends talking about suggestive things or making up stories. I think the few who stream just a casual game of Werewolf, or monopoly are entertaining.
safe marsh
i like to watch shini from time to time, rly love the positive energy that guy manages to spread
zinc solar
Outside of streaming, but still within viewer entertainment, I've always wanted to do a VRChat play, or theater. Kind of like what ImprovMod does, but one where me and some peeps do a short play for a crowd.
polar elm
Host it and let people know, i bet plenty of people would be intrested
opaque hawk
A friend I hang out with I almost always forget streams the game. I suppose he gets genuine reactions out of me.

@inner cape my name is just "Mimi" any other variation is an imitation
woven steppe
I can't remember but... does VRC actually prevent you from using a name if that name's been used already?
vast tulip
You would literally never see my message if I didn't :p
Like, i never would have seen your message to me if I didn't just happen to scroll up, which isn't common
wanton geyser
i just changed of world while dancing now im bugged xD
vast tulip
Yes ach, you can't use the same name. Some people can cheat it to have a name that looks the same, which I'm sure is against the rules
teal turtle
I think it's just against the rules to impersonate staff. Anyone else is free game
heady nimbus
Impersonating anyone is against the rules.
velvet quarry
Could've sworn it says on one of those ingame loading screen slides that it's against the rules to impersonate other groups / players.
queen mango
It does say so
teal turtle
Ah okay, my mistake
velvet quarry
Ah yes here we go:
Impersonating a VRChat employee.
You may not falsely identify yourself as another individual or group.```You must impersonate another person to talk in the discord
rigid crescent
So...impersonating a discord mod is ok because they're not employees? :3
just work with me here and ignore the second line
queen mango
teal turtle
I imagined people making regular avatars but they have this crude face mask that's just someone else's discord icon on a sheet tacked to their face
rigid crescent
i mean assuming someone else jsut wants the name Fez or whatever and aren't pretending to be you it's probably ok, impersonation kind of implies intent
teal turtle
Like the spy masks in TF2
tiny ginkgo
Sure but then it's not impersonation to deceive
Then it's satire
Which is a comletely different subject
teal turtle
Ye
queen mango
Parody even
teal turtle
That's the idea, doing it for a funny
rigid crescent
It's pretty easy, non-unicodes or whatever appear as blanks
queen mango
RIP those before 2017
rigid crescent
So just throw in some random hieroglyphic and your 3 letter name will still work i think
I mean Dot has had "." like 500 times as his name, he just keeps tacking on gibberish
Yeah, so 3 letters, then a fourth unicode letter
and the unicode will appear blank because the game font doesnt have those characters
queen mango
Trickin the system, it seems
rigid crescent
Yeah it's pretty common, I think
rigid crescent
thanks, it's 100% worth the extra material to get the effect I want :3
tiny ginkgo
Yeah definitely
rigid crescent
I forgot if you got to see them up close, but they change color. I think when I saw you I had the Rainbow speed really low so it was probably not noticeable https://puu.sh/CnZTh/1d59d5bd75.mp4
now that I think about it though, I could've just atlased my eyes to my hair and done it that way to save a material, probably something i'll do next time i'm messing with the model tho
