it's young technology, i hope in a few years we get real worlds that feel alive, MMO style
Maybe in the future we spawn into our own little home world (like now) and then just dive out that portal and into what's basically an actual city with loads of people in it.
Maybe so... I would love to have that kind of immersion.
Maybe like, going through a portal tunnel that also acts as a loading screen
that would absolutely be incredible
Tbh- Id be so insanely cool if we can have like city worlds where we all have our own spawns, special rooms with codes for privacy and stuff
Full RPG style social VR
Haha, like they used to? The old loading screen was great
YEP
it's cliché but really, imagine what they got in ready player one
I loved the old loading screen, especially with extra graphics. It's like you're going through space
The new one is horrid, especially for when you're in a loading loop or a long download
Its not really kind on the eyes yea
Plus the ambiance 
It's just completely devoid of any meaningful stimulation
did someone say kind
I can't forget the ambiance of the old loading screen 
incredible nostalgia whenever i hear that electronic sound followed by that ambience + piano chords
y'all ever listen to the gaia night song and nearly cry ...
Although, as much of a mess it has been/is/may be, JanusVR has, without a doubt, the best portal system.
Damn.. I wish the devs could allow us to go select between the old and new loading screens
actual fucking portals that you walk through into the new area
Its legit insane yea
i just searched it yea that's pretty cool
It's amazing when doing it in roomscale VR because you can literally walk through i and mind blown
so many neat little things that could be done but you just know would never be able to fit in the engine as it is today
Imagine that when someone spawns in portals all over a world 😂
Speaking of 'portals' there's a VRChat map with Portal Guns which work most of the time
We would need more people I think to have proper cities. 10000 people spread over hundreds of instances doesn't make for a very populated city. 😅
And it also act like a mirror too
That you can walk through, though it's a bit janky
And apparemtly, it only works on white surfaces (asbestos-coated), just like the real Portal Gun
That could give some ideas to Valve for Portal 3. Oh wait... they never make 3s.
In regards to old worlds though, I think I loved Blue-kun's avatar world's music
Can't help but get some feels ever since the first time I went there
anyone be getting an issue with steamVR lately where the audio would flip sides back n forth every few minutes o.o
Where can I report people? There's literally a cheater in the Murder game, noclipping before each round starts and steals the gun..
casual reminder that portal 2 is dota 2's sequel
If you got video and screenshot evidence, get them over moderation@vrchat.com
Also after you got proof to report him. You cna votekick people within the game and ban them from a room for half an hour.
We can't do actual portals at the moment, it would be too laggy
You'd need to load the content of every available portal that you can see
I don’t think actual portals would be very laggy. It’s just a head tracked camera from another location.
I should do one as a proof of concern concept

Basically a portal is just a render texture that shows the same view from behind the wall of the other location with the same offset, and a lower FoV based on distance so it matches the perspective perfectly
So as long as we can tie render camera FoV to distance from portal it should work fine
That might require a small single line of math which would make it impossible for vrc
Custom shader otherwise
But lag wise portal style portals are no more laggy than any other camera render
Does anyone know ANY OTHER methods for support from VRChat? It's been two days now and I still haven't gotten an email response on my bug that is not only causing me to have a bad experience with the game, but also making it so I cannot upload my own custom avatar, which is the main reason I downloaded the game.
what sort of bug
what version of unity do you have
and if you say anything other than 2017.4.15f1, you've got the wrong one
it isn't the most recent, either.
2017.4.15f1 I got it from the VRChat documentation
you're logged into the right account too, yeah?
well yeah, it does that for everyone that doesn't have valid avatars uploaded.
hmm
can i get a screenshot of unity, just for sanity's sake
before you do, i'd love a screenshot of it :x
https://i.imgur.com/JKgb8pY.png Jesus...
because like.. if it's still what i think is happening, you'll just redo the same work and be back to the same place
¯_(ツ)_/¯
https://i.imgur.com/NaRGcQe.png hmmm, Okay, maybe it was slightly off.. version wise. but still only a few bug fixes etc should not make a difference.
Yeah, you need 15f1. The warnings it gives you are not there for show
I can understand if you accidentally let Unity update, you get compile errors and then nothing works anymore, SDK can't warn you
But the SDK login screen and the upload window will have told you pretty clearly that you're using the wrong version in this case
is anyone else having problems with their game speeding up and slowing down
What is the BEST VR World you've ever visited?
It's subjective I guess.
Some worlds are really good looking but empty. Some worlds are nothing more than an empty room yet super populated.
Obviously it would have to be the bar... Y'know T H A T bar... The one where wierd shit happens
XD
i miss the old pug before they threw optimization out the window
the best world is Internet Being
What's the most BEAUTIFUL VR World you've ever visited?
The pub
m
https://i.imgur.com/FNmygcA.png Okay, so now it shows.. but the avatar doesn't.
@balmy flax Knuckle O.O
XD even the slightest bit of the avatar
Hey, I'm having a strange avatar issue. I posted it in #avatars-2-general, if anyone thinks they can help.
What’s the one theme park everyone goes to can someone tell me the name pls
@vocal shard Search funland
Wtf is up with flat lit toon?
_outline_width("outline_width", Float) = 0.2This value works, but it's never actually used anywhere in the code
Edit: NVM, Seems to be in cginc. Having two different versions of the shader (one edited by me) in my project bugged it out, giving everything outlines even though I disabled it, so I just removed its abilities to make outlines in the first place
Will someone block and unblock me instantly because he is testing, affect my trust?
I've wondered about that.
I recently made an avatar that bugs out in FBT, and needs to be reloaded to see it's particle effect. So people hide and un-hide me to see it.
I'm already plenty over trusted and I highly doubt it'd be enough to actually make any kind of effect, but can't help but wonder all the same.
I mean people even joke about kicking each others sometimes.
I hope that doesn't destroy their ranking.
There was this time once, on an old forum I used to frequent. It had a reputation score system. An admin that was a friend of mine one day reversed my score into equal negative numbers as a joke, taking me from 2nd place to last.
Load of other users saw it and threw sympathy upvotes at me in a futile attempt to fix it. Reducing the negative score closer to zero.
When the admin then undid the reversal, simply by removing the negative sign on the rep value, all those upvotes effectively became double strength downvotes. ^ ^;
Was one of those times where I had to fight griping about the feeling of pety injustice, with also recognising that it didn't remotely matter.
I can confirm that getting kicked lowers your trust score. Even kicking yourself (which yea, it does work) lowers your trust score. Don’t do it as a joke.
Source: someone has come here in the past saying they deranked from kicking themselves lol
lol
At which user level do I get access to use avatars from private worlds?
I believe it's the second one (same as uploading content) so some tens of house at worst
What does tab key do in VRChat? I just noticed when tab key is pressed down, your mouse cursor is freed from the game. Is this a unity thing or vrchat thing?
you can interact with debug menus while holding tab
hmm
but, menu+number is bound to task bar quick launch
in my case, i put chrome in the first quick launch, so menu+1(which is win+1) is launching chrome
Hey all, a simple idiot back again. How do I make worlds or something like that?
Does full-body tracking work if you're in a wheelchair?
Not properly cause you have to stand up to configure an avatar
Would it work if you got someone to configure it for you?
not really, unless u like your avatars limps misplaced or the hip raised etc, proportions and spots of trackers wouldn't match.
also u would still be stuck in the sitting position unless u use playspacemover, and legs could only be used depending on the condition of your legs, if u can't move them irl ingame is not possible with fbt either.
No I mean, you would have the pose you have in your wheelchair, but I was just wondering if someone could set it up and then just move the trackers and such to the other user, if they have the same bodysize of course
Ah okay, that's quite a hassle then
Would it be stupid if i asked if i need a vr headset to play vrchat?
you don't
I don't think it would be
You can play VRChat on Desktop, though VR is the best experience
I can recommend giving Desktop mode a try. It's very fun still.
Well it's free, just install it and see what happens
ok
If you could not put loud music and mirrors I can't turn off in your world, that would be great
anyone know's what vrchat is gonnna do about the new VR controllers with finger movements
Prob use the system Oculus has instead of full finger tracking. This is at least what they showed on there twittwr
Or maybe have an toggle for it. Would be dopest so we can do finger tracking and the old stuff for animations
Cant play for 3 weeks XD House sitting at mothers and she has 3mbps
Rip
I'm starting to lose my patience with this game, it's either a connection problem or I'm randomly lagging for no reason
It shows even my unlisted worlds??? WTF???
https://en.vrcw.net/world?keyword=Hagbard+Celine
cause it's probably not that easy to find/fix the issue
Understandable, but if other games don't leak then why is VRChat doing it?
maybe because other games aren't as "open" as vrchat, ie allow completely user generated content
ever played vanilla and modded minecraft?
Gmod is pretty user generated
pretty sure gmod is very restricted in what you can and can't do tho
but I only messed around with it once
Well I mean you can make own models/maps, etc.. and doesnt cause memory leaks atleast from what I've read
yeah but iirc you are limited to what, Source engine graphics? which is very low poly and little effects and stuff
Nd I guess gmod doesnt run off Unity either so meh

If you google hard enough you may find some older forum posts about gmod mem leaks.....
@languid beacon Hehe is he holding them wrong? I can't even tell.
The PNG you posted of "When you let your parents try your vr"
Ah yeah, at least that’s not how I hold them. Maybe I’m the weird one
I don't have an oculus and I can't see the controller well enough to tell how it's supposed to be held based on that photo alone 😃
linking to mobile links 
mobile-only site existing 🤕
I just read that username totally wrong >_>
haha great! YOu?
hello
Any staff member able to help me with a query?
y need staff in specific
this is not the right place to look for official help.
Howevery, most users will gladly help you with issues you might have.
also do u mean discord server or vrchat staff bc mostly vrchat staff is by email
sorry i didnt mean any offence anyone may be able to help
also u could prob get better solution if posted in the appropriate channel
maybe one of you can point me in the right direction , oh off course sorry ill put it in the right channel
People use this channel wrongly constantly, don't worry. But the channel names to the left should hint what they're for
I’ll show you a tactical cheese straw
If you don't know, it's probably user-support, unless you need a staff member in which case you should probably email them
already found the channel my boi
That's good then. I'm off to bed

Good night
Yas
So, place your bets
You think VRChat will update to 2017.4.22f1 and protect its users?
I thought it was a bug with the editor not the builds made with it
It is a bug
But protecting the users properly means updating the editor to 22f1, which cannot upload content to VRChat.
Well it can try, but the content isn't loadable
I’d assume they’d update LTS if it’s a serious exploit and VRChat follows LTS
So I guess it’s more on unity to protect their users
Whats the bug actually about as i cant seem to find that anywhere
Remote code execution on the editor. Just got a email about it
good horror vrchat maps when.
Isnt that only a problem if users start downloading random editors/programs from the store/web?
That’s out of my league
ay
A specially formed URL?
Sorta
I can't really go into too much detail, you can use a specially crafted link to execute arbitrary code as far as I know.
Well knowing the devs. you emaild them about it yet?
Is there a batch way for the devs to simply import and update all existing content into Unity and export the files VRC needs? Hmm...
i mean they probably just did the same process we would do for upgrading our old projects
Yeah...
even more "Why doesnt it work!" though
I wonder if VRC should have used a platform-agnostic format for uploading content...
well sure they can
the only main issue is with things that are outdated
like for example older models from 5.6 would have that mirror issue in 2017
i mean much like how u can import an FBX file into any other program that supports it
Hmm, I'm not aware of the mirror issue but yeah.
but u also have custom shaders and etc u need 2 account for
Breaking update changes to Unity should probably not affect uploadable content but that would also put a burden on the VRC people to make that uploadable format.
well again its not just the fact that they have to make a format
its the issue with mismatched versions like i said before
unitypackages and prefabs already serve the exact purpose ur talking about
I suppose, yeah.
however there are issues when the package version is outdated
Yeah outdated stuff might use deprecated methods, etc.
so unless u didnt support a lot of stuff related to unity itself
like custom shaders, custom joints, other things that may be modified more frequently
@umbral reef I'm assuming literally everyone already knows
ayyy
Man I thought I got @‘ted because I’m important but it’s just another announcement 😭
Welp now we know for sure
@tulip pivot thats life
get ready for the usual surge of idiots after the @ lol
we just got to deal with it
@median basalt nice u predicted it
Epic
Well im glad i made you happy @tulip pivot
Thank you devs, very cool
My knuckles haven’t arrived yet and they said they will ship feb
they're not, probably a devkit is all
is it just me, or did unity publish their mitigation installer without signing it?
yea u can apply to get knuckles temporarily or something like that
@main pewter prob wanted it out asap
well, i mean it shouldn't take any extra time to sign it since they already have a cert
but smartscreen prevented it from running for me due to that
is vrchat on oculus terrible whit its connection, because worlds and my social list wont load
what lol
i mean i can still run it anyway, but i can imagine that it's going to draw some eyebrow raises
i dont see what any of that would have 2 do with the oculus in specific but
not to mention the linked CVE articles are giving me a 403 forbidden on their website
I'd like to know exactly what this mitigation does to "modify windows"
no, it doesn't modify unity, from the sounds of it, it modifies windows itself
Frea
What is this, mitigation?
indeed, so it might just be a registry edit to remove the ability to trigger links from opening the unity client
what does it do to accomplish this and what is the identified vulnerability
Ir does actually say modify WINDOWS hm
@queen mango A patch so the exploit cant happen
@royal pond Legit read the posts. It gets explained in there...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0UdSokYPTY there's a video on it
i didn't read into it.. but who does the vuln impact? like i haven't opened unity in ages so i doubt it will affect me.. but how does the exploit occur? Clicking links or something?
I read the posts, all of them, it's very vague
It only says what it does, not how it works.
it would be better if we could actually see the CVE posts, but then that also makes it easier for people to perform the exploit too
watching this video
As I understand it this is just an editor update. It wouldn’t require a reuploaded of content to vrc
correct
Ofcours they wont plaster how it works. They dont want people to abuse it and its irrelevent to protect yourself.
Its legit apply the patch, store wont work and wait for a bigger patch
store still works, but only from within unity
I mean wanting to know how it affects your computer is pretty reasonable
Tbh its not like most of VRchat players the store at all anyway... 👀
@rigid crescent they say it just removes the ability for unity to be an execution target for a URL, which means you can't do things like click the "open in unity" button when browsing the unity store in a regular browser
has made like 7 asset store purchases specifically for vrc
@rigid crescent Badly as all remote code exucutions work...Remote code execution is the ability an attacker has to access someone else's computing device and make changes, no matter where the device is geographically located. Aka what ever the fuck they would really want
the bans for wanting pirated DB or MAE are among my favorites. Not that I've got a legit copy but im also not dumb enough to ask here lol
and shouldn't affect any other part of your computer
I’ve got a legit copy of DN it’s like 10 bucks?
it's 20 but yeah
Must have been on sale
I think it's been on sale a few times yeah, same with MAE and some other cool stuff
But yeah funny thing about DN since VRC doesn’t use your code can’t you just create empty scripts with the same names and parameter types and set them blindly and vrc will replace them with the real ones on upload
No idea if that’s like, against the rules, or if it even works. But, was just thinking about it
I didn’t buy them lol
Dns? You mean Dynamic bones or?
probably the biggest thing that would come of using dummy scripts for dynamic bone is you won't be able to preview them in the editor
Its not like people set them up properly anyway 👀
actually it would be pretty handy for distributing models to people who had a commission done without actually sending them dynamic bone itself
My biggest problem is people who didn’t buy it and accept payment for work done with them / and then also providing their commissionee a copy of it
then they could just hit upload and voila it works
well thats still technically using a pirated copy of dynamic bones
but if u do have dynamic bones and they send just the prefab or package
it should load the components but they wont do anything unless yea u have db installed
its kinda like if u were to delete the vrchat SDK (for when reinstalling)
u will see that every script gets blanked and wont do anything
but when u reinstall the SDK they come back and work
theres also that thing where u pay a comissioner 2 upload the model 2 ur account directly but thats a bit... weird...
when a commissionee uploads a model with dynamic bone scripts but without dynamic bone installed, do they actually work in vrchat though?
not really sure bc i a good boye and bought DB
That's a weird thing to test tbh
actually not really to test, but to occur naturally
yeah because everyone just gives out free copies of dynamic bone when they distribute models to free themselves from the hassle
@royal pond if the avatar they were sent did not include the DB scripts. No. But usually people break Db’s licensing and distribute them so the uploaded uploads it and they work. This is not ok and should not be done
Most probably do the uploads themselves which is a bad idea but oof
But yeah when you distribute the package it does come with it, so that kinda sucks
@languid beacon that's exactly what I'm thinking about, how can we give a commissionee a dynamic bone enabled model without breaking licensing on dynamic bone or logging into the commissionee's account on vrchat
Oh yeah I forget people do commissions and have them upload the avatar too. I’ve never agreed to anyone who works like that. I’m buying a model that’s mine to have on my computer to do with what I want and if I can’t have that you are overcharging me 👀
do we just say yeah just pay $20 so these bones will work
Basically yes
or is there some neutered version that doesn't break licensing
not rlly
It could exist but it would still break the spirit of the license in my opinion
again piracy is obtaining something u are supposed to purchase for free
this does not include stuff like student licenses
for example: getting a teachers license for adobe products for classroom use
all that stuff is legal
It would also put pressure on vrc to just not whitelist DB’s which would lead to outcry
its kinda funny tho that
the vrchat team could have made their own version of dynamic bones
but instead they just chose 2 use some unity asset from an asian asset developer
idrk what else they do but thats all i know about them
i dont think theyre related to vrchat tho
Nothing wrong with supporting unity devs
And no, they aren’t
They’re also using Final IK from the asset store too
ye
i get the Final IK part bc thats pretty complex
but i wouldnt assume dynamic bones to be that complicated at least imo
most of vrchat is made by other people / the community anyways
vrchat is just responsible for the base game ftmp, a lot of assets come from other places
Eh I wouldn’t say it’s simple and it works and it’s cheap
the animations, the default avatars, IK system (probably), a lot of other scripts probably
why?
Its from when vrchat* first update to that version of unity
Its an old meme
Why not 2017.4?
I know, but they asked to change it to 5.7 when we're on 2017
Tupper did make a emote for the 2017 announcement but it got removed sadly
rip
re
Lolwut
thats a name I haven't seen in ages
pInG reMovAl tEsT
yup
lmao howdy buddy how you been?
I remember you from the old days of VRC
Been good. How about you?
I remember you from back then too and i've been aight just doin' my own thing lol
Same. Don't get on as much as I used to
I just want an excellent star as an emote
Same here.. Haven't been able to get on VRChat much as a Desktop user.
Say, how come you two know each other?
same i dont really get on at all anymore kinda sad @floral aspen
yeah, it is kinda sad.
we met a while ago in VRC @queen mango
i wish more of the older people still got on
Same. A lot of my friends list from back then has gone dark or hardly gets on anymore
Still remember Advert-chan? He left the Discord
oh rip
yeah I remember Advert. Why'd he leave?
f for advert chan lmao
Well, serious biz
i was on his model
Damn.. even I dunno exactly
Either way, it's for the best..
Use to be a good Sen. Chat Mod of this place
Now in his place is me
yup, he was one of the good mods
agreed
This advert talk makes me sad :c
Interestingly, he seemed to be online since mid 2017
Talking about old VRC makes me a lil sad. I miss it sometimes
Took notice of it because he, and LadyPinoy were in that Mirai Akari Project VRChat video I saw
Oh really? That lucky duck
Every time i start up the game i hope to get the same fun times i had in the past
But the vibe of the game just isnt the same for me anymore. Because of all the updates and because i changed
Jyep.. though he ain't the focus of the vid, jyano
Yeah, I get that Kairos. Feels less personal now that theres thousands of people online at all times. I'm happy that the game is growing but I miss when it was smaller too
👁
Same that someone like Cyhann is like gone :c
Old times.. back in May, I used to see peeps in their Persona avatars, Warhammer avatars, even in Halo avatars
Deathrun was a thing, and Mafia/Werewolf was popular
Also the Never Have I Ever games
Both maps where even after mine old days 😂
Well I think for me the main thing is the nameplate colors and the over-abundance of avatar cloning
That are making it far less fun to be in public
Because almost every public instance is just a contest of whichever kind of irritating avatar someone cloned today
And a lot of people have stopped uploading their own shit

Somehow I'm now surprised and severely disappointed a lot less people make their own stuff
Has been the same contest even before the nameplates and cloning...
Not to nearly the same degree
Before avatar cloning, only people like, you know, Jawbones
Would be walking around in Jawbones avatars
But now everyone is just cloning random meme stuff and "showing it off". It's not uncommon to walk into a Pug and it's just a circle of desktop users showcasing some unoptimized or screenshake BS they cloned today.
Favoriting was cool but cloning is waaay too far.
Do people actually use chairs still 🤔
Especially in its current state. I believe only approved avatars should be cloneable, so an avatar would only be clone-able if it were approved in a public world
Or was it just a thing to complain to the devs about
Avatar chairs are rarely used.
I'm glad they're back but they refused to bring back one of the most important things for me, which is sitting in your own chairs.
theyre also used a lot for cheating unfortunately
while yes u can already cheat with the client stuff and that collider trick
u can do stuff like bring people into other parts of a world without them having any of that
and u can also sit in chairs to come back to something u originally died in like deathrun
you know what
My buddy is actually getting Vr after today thanks to me
So i might want to actually play Vrchat on my main again
Chairs weren't just being complained about "just because", people wanted them because it's another thing to play around with
ye
So boys- What would be a neat meme to have 🤔
I should go now. My 6th day of immersion'e about to start
Good luck
Sorry if I killed the mood with mentioning Advert
is all good, no worries
Advert actually irritated me by continuously changing my name because I had a ! at the front of it. Reason for it? Advert didn't like names with ! in at the front. Now look at the names on the right. GG Advert, where are you now? 
K
@rigid crescent didn't I agree with you on that one? Or was that with someone else.
I never got the chairs how anyway.
probably, its how most things are its just sad people threw this big of a fit over it
Idk where to ask this
But can I make an avatar with sounds and animations binded to like my numpad
Can I also make myself fly in some way
@stray slate the animations work the same in VR and on desktop
Just a bit harder to use and different triggers. On how to make animations and stuff it's best to follow a tutorial online. For when you get stuck ask #avatars-2-general for help
@umbral reef Thank you :)
Just cut and burn it down
but shes also my sister
It's the only option you have left
and my husband is also my brother
because the guy who is his dad adopted my step daughter
which is his daughter
what the fuck is going on
RP a Maury show and get things cleared up. 🙂
Pretty sure that familty tree is also illegal 🤔
hello guys
hello
nice man
Should post a photo in #vrchat-pictures ;p
after we install mitigation are we ok or
does anyone have a tiny avatar? idk why i just like being tiny
ok
nobody can really see me sneak up to them and make sans noises
Hi
hi
hello
hi
wanna see kingdom hearts skin find in kh screach it say s.o.a
????
ok
you will see
Not sure what is but since today but vrchat has been giving me issues and I've tried everything.... I am just stuck in endless loading screens, having to relog in, avatar menu not working and more
y r u double posting
these ppl and their idea of posting the same things in multiple channels bc they couldnt get a response in 2 minutes
uwu
And I’m here hi muah ❤️
@shrewd flame Hey so i got a friend request from you in game, but i don't think we ever met before?
Says you got one mutual friend so idk if its that, but i can't dm you in discord so had to @ you here.
Lots of peeps add me and i never get the chance to ask why, figured i would try and find out. 🤙
Sup guys, I visited the Void Club today. Are the mixes just arbitrarily found/made, or do the devs accept mix submissions from DJs? Asking for a friend here.
you'd have to ask the map owner, it's not a dev map
Lykon I think?
If they accept mixes I might have to send some in 😮
Is there a kinda club room that plays synthwave?
people send friend requests here for no reason
i decline everyone
sometimes people legit ask favors, which made me turn off dms here
Gives @stone current long needed headpats
I wonder how many games crashing
Yea same
unity issues Is tempting me to KERMIT suicide
lol same
Just read that bad Dedede joke. Good job lol
eeeek vrchat is fun but i don’t really have anyone to play it with lol
it is fun lol
yep, but it would be undoubtedly better with friends
not many of my friends want to play a social game :/
Was in the same position with you, but I joined a smaller vrc related discord group and made some good friends there :p
You could try that and see how it goes
how'd you find the discord group?
well idk that just sounds a bit weird for me, i’d rather make friends in vrchat than in a group
I met my boyfriend on this discord
woah, that's pretty cool
lots of people seem to meet significant others on vrchat
i saw this reddit post about it a while ago
Yeah well its like a real life but one where its easier to meet people
I have ptsd and I live in an area where everyone does something that stresses me out because its a bad area, people are more supportive on vrc
Ive also never had irl friends so irl bfs are out of question
ah I see!
I also am 10x less shy ingame
it's exactly the opposite for me
and i thought VRChat would help me be less socially anxious lol
Tbh you just gotta yolo socialization a few times, run up to strangers etc and eventually it becones second nature
Vrc turned me into an extrovert
Eek I must sleep if you wann taalk more ill.be in dms
haha, been trying. strangers always be talking about such random shit i've no idea what to say
cool, good chat
(Sorry for interrupting guys I was just waiting for a good time to say something after your conversation would be over because I despise interrupting)
oh lol sorry, no go ahead
i saw you'd been typing for a while
and wondered if it was just a bug
its group chat, no worries about interrupting
Ok
Is it ok if I talk about something
Nah, never mind
I’ll say it
I’m not fit for this community, I am being held against my will in another server. Thanks for giving me a chance.
uh ok then
people are so weird
Lol ayup
weirdest speicies on the planet
are there people in vrchat who belong in normal society? I kind of always saw it as an escape. I just grab a Caboose avatar and act like a total derp, since that's how I am irl
i go in with my vaporwave hyena when im feeling chill and go exploring
irl though I have to avoid being a Caboose because my job and friends and such, they don't like that
irl i dont get to travel much or go on vacation much
kind of refreshing to just go be stupid around people who are all anime or knuckles avatars anyways
at least you dont get edgy teens trying to harrass me for being a furry
its 2019 people, find a new ttarget
if you think being a furry is bad try being like, ethnic or religious
not gonna touch that
im just saying i've been a fury for 15 years and i still see the same childish name calling from teens now adays like i did when the 4chan furry war started in 2007
4chan vs furry is an ancient tradition
eh its pointless.
its more like a game of European football than actual hate
noone wins and to the outside its just nerds fighting with nerds
its basicly highschool all over again :p
I mean sure the riots burn down the city, but the players themselves aren't serious about it usually
I was a loner in high school. Being a nerd back then wasn't a badge of honor.
yeah. 2003-7 wasmt the best for geeks either
I've never been good with people. it's why I like vrchat.
I dont like the screechers and memers. Goes over my head alot.
the people in vrchat don't care that I'm weird because half the time they're role playing catgirls or whatever anyways
i feel ya omni
some i find funny, others im just so confused
like that Gamer girl p thing.
Traps are gay is pretty funny that I learned recently.
i dont like that meme
i wont go full sjw on it. but lets just say the topic is a bit dicey when you get to it. plus i work with 2 transgender people, i just find it rude
besides comedy is subjective
Very.
plus i just hear abunch of gay jokes in there too. they dont offend me as much in vr chat becasue i just mess with them back
the reaction is pricless :3
I don't personally see trap and trans as the same thing. like if you genuinely want to be a girl then that's one thing, but if you go around with an anime avatar doing a clearly fake girl voice just to fuck with people and I call you out and you act all offended even though I just heard you saying some shit about black people or Jews or whatever...
noted, mess with mechanical proxy :3
I just thought it's funny cause so many of my straight male gamer friends play females to perv on them and it kinda grosses me out so I want to call them out on it. Generally being a transgender vs being a pervert are totally different things.
well hey i wont mess with you, but i find it kinnda funny when someone tries to say some homophobic shit.
and then i just try to flip the table on em
I don't think I've actually spoken to a trans person in vrchat, or if I have I didn't know it because they were actually serious about it
hey i mean if you're giving them the chance to have a conversation about it thats progress
@vivid oar hi 😛
i'll hand it to Gen Z, theyre more open minded than the generations before them
yeah, I just wish there were less idiots yelling "it's a trap!" everytime they see someone with a female avatar and a male sounding voice...
trap is an insulting word to use on a real trans person
that's why I like to go mute most of the time...
I've definitely run into a few men who can do girly voices but are just being ironic to own the SJWS or whatever
yes, it is
I've talked to alotof transgender before on OkCupid cause I was curious and learned alot from some of them.
But I will admit youtuber and twitch copycats are annoying
I always found that funny, they go online and pretend to be women then they go around calling others degenerates
i know people who are straight and all but they can just do really good female voices, it’s all just fun and games but if you know someone is a trans please please don’t call them a trap
yeah, don't call me a trap ;_;
I know my voice is bad since I haven't done much with it yet :<
hey stay strong Szena
I will
i know a trans who basically excelled at transforming their voice into a girls and it sounds more like a girls than a girls voice
and when they are called a trap as a joke it hurts them a lot
My voice never broke so people assume I'm female over the phone a lot. I just shrug it off and politely correct them.
one of the smartest people I've ever known was trans. this really cool German pharmacist, taught me a lot about my own schizoid condition and stuff
yeah, same. the girl who actually cracked my egg has a very femme voice
my voice is so deep so no one could assume wrong ever lol
exactly lol i use a girl avatar cos they’re cooler and cuter
yeah, mine is pretty bad still... but I don't even sound like a "manly man", my voice just sounds weird, to me at least
I hate my voice. I'm 6 foot 2 and eight close to 300 pounds of muscle and fat. And I squeak like I'm 12
i don’t have to use a guys avatar just cos i’m a guy
@vital spoke r/egg_irl 😛
Female avatars is in general better made than male avatars though
which is probably why most people use female avatars regardless of their gender
@vocal shard when i used to play csgo as a teenager people would be like go to work ya old cunt lol
cos of my voice ;-;
I have noticed the immense design into alot of female skins so I agree their better designed.
@vital spoke that's a little funny but also rude.
I think VR tends to bring out the insecurities in people. like, guy is homophobic, uses VRchat, feels attraction to some neko avatar controlled by another guy, so he freaks out and rages about gays to feel better about himself
id rather run a female skin than a knuckles avatar
ive never seen that ever mechanical
id rather run my yeen than a knuckles avatar
I doubt people use females cause of that primarily
i’d rather use an afk pole
I asked someone who designs skins to make me one so I could use.
@vital spoke oof city
reason behind so many female models is that people are just simply gay
@vivid oar which is ironic cause VRChat enables people like me to finally experience what they can't experience IRL (yet)
Ghosto nani tf
change my mind
I personally never use female avatars because I hate how other guys treat me when I use them
@inner cape and yet they get antsy when a guy tries to hit on them.
nah i’m always talking so when i use a female avatar people just come touch my head the usual and have a quick talk
sounds like you know what you're talking about
i sware VRChat is 50% memes and 50% straight men trying to sort out their masuclinity and sexuality
you get hit on often?

@vivid oar interesting, apart from the random idiot yelling "trap" I've not had any real bad experiences in running around with a female avatar and talking in a male voice
Or people who wants to have fun and socialize with people around the world 🤔
Ehm... How come I always come back to the interesting bits?
oh hey elrie
I don't mind hitting on other dudes with cute avatars as long as they act the part
Hello
I think the trap screamers are twitch watchers.
shit buddy, you come up to me with a roadhog avatar and speek in a low voice, i'll fuckin melt

Wow shit hitting the fan rn
I'd go for Astolfo, instead
even if I'm not gay I just can't pass up on the wholesomeness
they always got them cute kitty avatars and they just want love
a little head pat here and there never hurt anyone's sexuality
If I was gay tho and had to pick a Overwatch character I think I would pick Lucio for his figure lol
all about that reinhardt
He's would be my drinking bud
who wouldn't want a man that can carry them in one arm
That's kinda my thing tho. High energy.
to each their own
And nobody wants Junkrat lol
he's alittle....extra
Say.. ain't this supposed to be #vrchat-general-2?
yes

junk doesn't need relationships, he has bombs
anyone find any new intersting worlds?
I'm liking that new volt club a lot
I haven't seen a new one recently that catches my eye.
i keep trying to find a good vaporwave world and their either too basic or someone tossed on a bunch of shaders and the world runs at 2 frames a second
wish bartending were possilbel tho
All I could think of are the good ol' worlds
I'm more interested in low res worlds that still look beautiful for a now crap computer.
Oof..
yeah performance isn't easy to find now days
see what people dont realize is that its not all about the shaders
everyone wants to make the shiniest world
its about good solid modeling, and great texture work
Like the comp isn't bad but with the custom six and effects and worlds it chugs.
Sfx*
I think there was one vaporwave map that I visited a few weeks back.
It also functions well as a video player room, and the best thing is, the video also shows in the same style the map is made of
as a 1080ti owner I love shaders, but my friends sure don't
Imagine generalizing shaders
I also never turn on shield so maybe I'm just a wildcard
well i mean yeah you get more to work with when you build worlds, buuuuuuuuut yeah theres only so much one can do
Plus considering the restrictions they placed regarding avatars..
I think there ain't much freedom..
But it's necessary
oh yeah didnt they like put a cap on how many avatars you can have per world?
like alot of avatar worlds are kinnda bare
30 or 35 isn't it?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Umm.. I think so?
avatars can still be pretty crazy, it's just that everyone has the protections on by default so they don't usually see it, which is necessary due to trolls unfortunately
Cause before that, the old avatar worlds had like a whole library of them
yeah
I wouldn't mind seeing different worlds but don't have any friends or suggestions yet.
I think old ones still have a lot
Hoppous, Ookas, Mikus, Lens, Rins, Astolfos, Hacka Doll #3s
oh you think thats bad, there was a japanese world that was super abstract but had this awsome cyborg furry catgirl avatar. i have it faved and the world it came from no longer exists
shame
Was trying Ookas Cherry blossom world but it chugged for me.
Oh man... what was the name of that? I used to see it a lot in this Discord
oh the cat girl? idk my hiragana is rusty and i dont know much kanji
Yea..
I miss the old times when there was actual groups on vrchat that wasnt just cancer gangs but actually cool groups with some lore they made for themselves.
you can still find them
it still happens
i just go to small avatars if im trying to block crashers w/o getting clapped
Not at all how it used to be.
I haven't actually seen knuckles in a long time
Man, I woulda love that.
Being accosted upon by a group of Imperium Soldiers from Warhammer
maybe I'm just not on enough
I miss going into a world and the first thing was two kannas screaming esketit at each other while three hoppous were judging.
Or like the crusaders and shit
Battletanks dude..
I miss those times
it's definitely not as populated these days
Yeah..
Plus, where are all the Persona Avatars?
still some good meme avatars. but i could do w/o the edgy crasher kids who play bass boosted trap music as soon as they spawn in and then take overr your view
Remember when cafe leblanc and gaia night were top maps, f
yeah. no Shields is risky as ever
How many people here use headsets?
I miss gaia night
gaia night was chill....also i use WMR
headset is worth it IMO even if you have little room, as long as you can afford
I have a question that hasnt been fully answered yet. With a headset for VR does it show two different screens or one big one?
two
Shit. That's bad news. Now I'm severly disappointed.
it shows the widow with your view on desktop no matter what. maybe there's a way to disable that but idk
why's that omni?
I'm legally blind in one eye. If the headset require merging of pictures it wont work for me. I literally see two different images in real life all the time. That would give me a severe migraine.
headset might work for you anyways
is say go to a best buy and test an oculus before you buy
Old school 3d glasses never did. Nor does magic eye pictures.
oculus at least has a focal distance of like 2 meters
I could try it somewhere. My local bestbuy tho doesnt offer demos unfortunately.
it's possible to play with 1 eye closed so, um, yeah..
i was debating on going to coulus and getting off this crappy wmr headest
I've heard of VR software designed help with lazy eye and such
One eye closed would probably the way I have to play.
don't know what it's called but it exists
Probably more outrageously priced then HtcHive pro
even if I'm not gay I just can't pass up on the wholesomeness
they always got them cute kitty avatars and they just want love```
I can definitely confirm that. One person in my friendslist at least very much sounds male but they run around with a smol girl avatar and just want and give hugs and cuddles and pets and it's pure wholesomness
I'm pretty badly nearsighted but VR works fine for me. not sure if that applies to other conditions
just get lasik 😃
Can't. Tried. It is a wiring issue not a retina one.
I'll get lasik when I can afford the actual urinary tract shit I need and all that
oof
well, wish you all the best 
lasik was one of the best decisions I made in my life
I'm nearsighted in one eye and far sighted the my main. I get two images and ones fuzzy and ones high def.
sounds like someone is never getting any cuddles
you're not wrong
I just want to give them. I don't care much for people touching me and stuff
I mean, preferably they come from female avatars ¯_(ツ)_/¯
where are you morals, you're a human, not an animal
one thing I always find hilarious is I go around as a roughly average size human avatar, and everyone is always half my size or smaller
that's exactly why I crave cuddles. cause the modern human is deprived of cuddles
Physical contact even by virtual proxy helps the human condition
not for everyone
@vocal shard exactly
the human condition is lame. I'd rather be a dragon
I would only get the headset and camera with joystick for better range of emotion. And maybe hugs.
I would rather be a stone golem but unfortunetly I was born human.
if you can get the oculus kit it's all you need
Yeah but I can't even afford my own computer lol
It is normal to enjoy that kind of thing, but the way people take it so lightly and how it became a norm and you'd see half naked avatars patting each other to death in every corner is just wrong
this is the future we asked for
maybe you're just a prude ;P
soon all our brains will be on shelves in a warehouse, so get used to it
Actually I think it's weird to glorify violence but shunning nudity and affection.
people are so easy to sell themselves to some random for bloody pats and a hug, like, come on
@vocal shard yep, that's the 'murican way of living
@inner cape I'd pat and hug you to death if I ever met you in vrc 😛
good luck with that
Parents need to better watch their kids or learn tech to avoid things.
^
that's true like, what kind of asshole parent let's their kids use the Internet unattended
Or unfiltered
I know mine did and thas why I'm such a wierdo now
same
raised by 4chan and not my parents
granted I got limited by our 56k modem and 100mb/month download plan
I raised myself but I had good common sense.
raised yourself huh
common sense is good but parents shouldn't shirk their responsibilities
🤔
Mostly. My mom bought the food or got it from somewhere and cook supper but that's it.
more or less how my family was
I dunno chief
Raised yourself
Hmmm
what do you mean by that?
surprise, now I get to support them because they're all deadbeat and I'm too nice for my own good
I grew up with both my parents working fulltime so when I come home from school there'd usually be some left over lunch or I'd just make my own and take care of myself for the most parts ¯_(ツ)_/¯
My single mom was a smoker addicted to bingo. Not around much. So I had to cook or come up with meals before supper for my siblings. I even did her budget at times.
oof
At the age of?
our generation might become the most self reliant at this rate
probably
6 is when it started. I'm glad I went into care at 12

Even tho at the time I was furious
Now where to start a second discussion?
is anyone even on to talk besides us
So you're saying as a 6 year old you made food and did the budget for your mom who didn't teach you anything/raise you?
unless you're some kind of Einstein prodigy i doubt
sounds fishy for me imo
I hear that Kuro
kuro shut up you edgy legend
Kuro lul

School and teachers helped too. Sure saying self reliant is an exaggeration but still.
it's not that uncommon for young kids to have to taken on family responsiblities
So you had school and teacher help you but not send in a message of concern when a 6 year old is taking care of a family?
at lEast in US
Hmmm 🤔
My mom deflected alot of social service for the longest time.
no worth in feeling bad about it
you're stronger than most people with the experiences you've been through
I dont feel bad about my past. It's just who I am. Just salty about it sometimes lol
that's how work is. the idiot who are only there out of nepotism control it all
how did they get their jobs?
I hate getting blamed for someone else's mistakes
best you can do
I go into rage mode and usually get fired. I can't really control it.
I've taken on a habit of bartending in VRCHAT because it's a lot more fun than my real job
I can just be a dick like I want and not get fired
I can see that, I've always romaticed Bartending. Seems like the kinda job where you become a back ground character that everybody likes.
Lol
I usually work low end jobs with not means to talk to higher ups.
it's the same wherever you go it seems. whether you're handling a group of chefs or programmers
herding actual cats would be easier
👋
hi
help i cant stop playing this game
worst part is i dont even know why i keep coming back
story of my life with Dota2
broken game with toxic community, yet it's the only game I play consistently
but then I wouldn't have anything else to play D:
oh yeah
haven't played dota for years
Sorry you're doomed to play it for eternity, can't help with that 
I know
still my second most played game
I already sold my soul to lord gaben
wise choice
I like to challege myself to make more and more complex avatars
Ed is wholesome tho

several weapons and body meshes that can be swapped out by state machines with custom keyframed song animations and toggleable props as well using the emote slots
My new main avatar has 3 different appearences

with 3 different loadouts
I can feel the avatar loading from here
XD
Mh 3 in 1 
I hope you mean it swaps clothes
I can't cause i'm only running at 10fps now
Funny thing, I have 2 outfits for my avatar too, was doing the same thing lul
That explains the 2m loading time
I haven't done it yet 
I want someone to play with me
I want someone to play with me // vrchat = SNV_SAYIN
Vrchat= same as here

The same one you just have to use the mitigation
!cleancache
You can clean cache by deleting everything within C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat apart from output_log.txt and config.json if you have them
hey, i found an occulus rift touch for a really good deal but i dont think i have enough room for it
is it a viable option to just play sitting down with the rift?
yeah, I play sitting down most of the time
(the headphones on my rift broke so I'm using regular earphones, so the length is too short to stand up XD )
how do you set it up on the computer? does the rift connect through usb?
you'll need around 3 usb's minimum if I remember right and a hdmi port
so make sure your pc can handle that many first
headset requires 1 usb and hdmi, each sensor requires 1 usb
so I'm assuming you're going for just 2 sensors
3 sensors will give you really good 360 tracking
2 infront pointing to the middle of your space, and then one behind you but in a corner pointing to the middle of the space
do i need an hdmi port for my pc
yeah
or do i need one for my monitor
the headset uses 1 hdmi slot
so if your monitor is using the only one, you'll have to put the monitor into a different one
like display port
ohh okay
oculus can be a pain to set up
but once its done, you dont need to mess with it ever again 😃
sure

hello
You know what’s a map I miss being popular
Suburban house
There should be a category where maps that haven’t been played or are unpopular should be shown in the playlist for people to play
Damn.. yeah
Speaking of Nomic's Suburban House, the map got fixed.. if you didn't hear
anyone wanna chill feel free to join
Huh
I gotta check it
Anyway. Yeah if the devs can figure out how to make that in the worlds playlist it’ll be nice
Also please fix the friends social menu please
I can’t find out my offline friends and my favorite friends groups are glitched out too
Tbh i do not like the popular tab at all
It just pushes people to use the more popular worlds and not explore new ones
I use active qnd recently uploaded
Maybe odd question but why is iris_ai so well known 🤔
got the fella also on my friendlist and i recall seeing there avatar and stuff
But got no idea where they are from
I have no idea who that is but I feel the same with snipsnap
yo
HIYA
