never heard of this spline shit but sounds cool
wake me up in 11 months when dynb alt comes out from vrc team and is not only not shit but also is lightweight
Emphasis on not shit
how would splnnes factor in? what makes rhem lighter than normal bones?
VRM enters the lobby
Well think blender cycles and their new realtime engine.
There are some things its good for, but time will improve it.
To say that splines are the way to go right now would be stupid. Same goes for Eevee when there is better options.
But eventually we will find more and more ways to do things with less limitation over time.
Polygons are a thing of the past
Yep
cough vectors cough
How would that be any better than polygons though?
Less limitation more room for detail
rendering a math equation rather than a bunch of points that are told to draw geo between them seems easier?
Polygons are soon to be a thing of the past just as much as rasterization is going to be used less and less the more raytracing takes over.
game engines use polies anyway 
Not for long

I mean think about this, Did you ever expect VR to be a thing when you were super young? Things are coming faaaaaast.
raytracing for VRC would be fucking cool but how would it work out for the creator? like i dont know too much about materials and shaders themselves but just enough about light tracing to know that future customization would be wildly different
I thought of it as some super expensive tech I'll never get
but then I did...
People barely understand current methods of rendering / pbr stuff in vrchat
CREEPER
like how would i be able to control whether my avatar is toon shaded, realistically shaded, has shitty startsphere shaders, etc. ?
Its way easier than you would think actually. Probably just as easy as the current method if not more.
i dont expect anyone to understand ray tracing
Imagine not having to bake light maps over and over again ๐
Rendering and calculation is complex and expensive
really? from what i understand ray tracing puts a lot more of the lighting work in the hands of ZA WARUDO (ot the scene??)) rather than the player
Raytracing is just a stripped down biased version of path tracing.
Game engines will always have ways of being more customizable
Which mimics real life to an extent.
All I can think of is those poor gpu's that don't have the lose raytrace cores
Depending on the ray epsilon and the overall bias of those rays of light.
im aware of what it is, maybe tje way it was explained to me is a little bit scuffed, but its slowly starting to make more sense with me how you could go about customizing shaders in a ray-traced world
Same way you would do right now honestly.
maybe VRC lighting would also look less scuffed >u>
Raytracing is all about the lighting, so all the current shaders like standard should support it just the same
tbf most vrc worlds are lit pretty decently imo, not a world creator dont beat me
its the shadeless avatars that fucking kill it for me duud
They used to all be toon ๐
Avatar testing used to be toon
now its gone pbr'ish
still kinda toon, but less bright.
There was a huge toon craze about a year or two ago for whatever reason
dude i love PBR shit i still barely have any idea of what im doing (poked a little into speculars, i need to lesrn more about metallic shit and everything surrounding that) but its so fucking cool
I use standard on my worlds, despite them being unforgivingly cartoony
like ahah look at me btch my avatar isnt shadeless cuz im cool huhauh, or something
If you like PBR then you would nutt over my map I just released ๐
anyone here ever used skullcandy crusher headphones?
im ready
"The Box RTX"
false advertising ๐
Have fun ๐
oh yeah you made that map shit dude ive been waiting for that
It is haha
Its still cool though
im literally going home from DC today gonna check it out at infinity am
we found the solution to the closing your hand issue!
Steam bindings
Just change the grip button's "click" on Oculus to none in Steam controller bindings

phew
aw yeah, time to GAME. just kiddi ng home is a 12hr drive </3
Oof
Well, sleep first when you get there.
Don't want you getting sick with all my flashy lights and low frames lol
Cause that map is a lot
90 fps by default but if everything is on then its pretty bad on a 1050ti
oh dear GOD
oh lord
Hey that was my line
shhhhhhhhhhh
do you need a hug? :<
and you know what else?
He really stole my line ๐ฎ
I play VR with it!
What a nerd.
oh my
and use full body!!!!!!
i5 6400 + $50 motherboard
nO
Behold my power
๐
Been playing VR with it for a year and a half now lmao
damn
Finna go look at some big anime in the Virtual Reality conversation game. Take care peasants. ๐
ohkk
CPU: burning
Motherboard: crushed
PSU: screaming
yep, its VR time ๐
๐
oh boi
do yall think that a 550w seasonic PSU from 2017 can run ryzen 3700x? asking cuz i may or may not try something fucky wucky in the next hour or so
probably yeah
im pretty sure it doesnt need much wattage
i wanna upgrade my CPU so badly ; (
but in order to do that i need a new motherboard and ram
prob need custom cpu cooler as well
and new case
ugh this sucks
big oof on your wallet
I wanna upgrade everything
1060 to probably 2080
I5 to i7
Itx board to matx to I can get more PCIe slot
Then get wireless
Then index controller
noice
Except it cost too much my heart can't justify it
i had to upgrade my gpu because the only hdmi port broke and i have vr so oof on my bank
had to upgrade all of my pc, was around ยฃ800
I already upgraded my GPU
like a few months back
And lemme tell, thank god i made dat upgrade
what gpu is it now
Cause i was running VR on the GTX 760 4GB
oh mY
I got the RTX 2070
it lasted me for 5 years
Ive reached 90fps with that bb
yeah it was good but just not optimal
I can relate; I was sitting on a Radeon HD 7970 for ages
I remember having that card and being sad that it didn't run GTA4 as well as I'd hoped, lol (the 7770 "GHz Edition")
life
Mine was HIS OC 7770
The way they marketed it, like it was suppose to render a cinebench scene or something lol
I think the 6950 I replaced it with was a HIS OC card.
mine is on fire
can someone help me in #avatars-2-general
how do i change an avatar's animation style to humanoid?
Click the prefab > Rig > Humanoid
@snow wadi Heya
Oops
nah lol
Tell them that their mic is loud?
U think they will care?
They might
Lmao if someone were to tell me that I was loud
I be even louder
Why?
Cause fuck you
Sorry that was toxic Iโm not like that
But people are like that
Not everybody wants to annoy those around them dude. Most don't know about it
If they are dicks about it, click them and click "sound off"
If someone were to act like that when I politely ask them to turn down their mic, I would immediately mute them
Really?
Iโve met a person with the shittiest mic in the world, told him, said he is poor, told him sucks to be him
Question, is it bad to switch between hard drives on a PC?
how do you mean?
I have 3 hard drives, 2 of them with Windows OS, 1 just for games
No difference, really.
Booting to another install through teh bios? It's fine
Is it a laptop?
Desktop, and I did do it through the bios
I keep an original clone of the fresh installed windows in one hard drive which I named "Stasis"; for those emergencies where everything goes tits up
But itโs so slow my other hard drive, like slower than ever before
So it kind of scared me
Thought I broke PC
press alt+f4 and you'll be safe
Okay dad
Jesus Christ this hard drive is so slow, no wonder I made the switch to SSD
Need to boot to my old hard drive that I used for a long time because my full body worked on that hard drive
just do a clean install of your windows
But for some reason D4VR isnโt working on my SSD
and everything will work 100%
Hereโs the thing, I got my SSD like a few months ago
Look at that traitor in the VRChat Team role
Clean install of windows
traitor?
who
hackspanner. :P
i still don't get it
They're playing a social VR game?!
Oh lmao
I noticed it first :(
Yeah but you said it in #general-media
bleeeeh
I mean I noticed but just overlooked it
Can someone upload avatar for me if you can help me out dm me

Who thinks I should reinstall windows?
Fakin ez
Done in seconds
Wait why did both of u delete ur comments

If you got a SSD, you should use it for your OS
I am
And if it's a M.2 SSD, you shouldn't fill it more than 50% or it will slow down
@tacit plank It being M2 or not doesn't really come into it. Plus I've ran disks like that up to around 95% before obvious degradation.
@tawny ore @faint skiff @rough pulsar gimme a nudge if you're going to VRC o/
@snow wadi I'm off out to the pub/bars in a bit but I'll be back later. But probably after you've gone to bed unfortunately.
Aww
They have some internal cache which is faster, but can be filled up. Newer, bigger NVMe M2 ssds are even wose at it
Yeah, the reallocation buffer. It's fine unless you're doing a lot of writes though.
I can't figure out what it's called atm... But Linus did a video on it
So uh... did they screw up world publishing again? This is like, the third time my map has gotten kicked back to Community Labs after passing into Public. It was also "grandfathered in" because it received approval like, over a year ago? Just wondering why after updating an existing public map, it's in CL now...
maybe you need to use the right unity version to update it? not sure....
Nah there's been people saying their world was pushed back to labs
It's a known bug though
Is there anything that can be done to undo that? I have one map that I'm sure will be back on Public within the week, but some of my less popular maps... I'd hate to have to wait for them to be re-entered into the public category.... :-/
You might be able to email support about it, they're pretty decent about that kind of thing
just hit em up with the website link to the world and they'll probably be able to tell it just randomly got tossed back into labs
Oh I've been on VRC for a bit; I'm sweaty now from all the dancing
@snow wadi I summon you to read my message which is not urgent in the slightest and will only lead to disappointment
I've been on for sexualobster amount of hours
;-;
Enough to encounter this gem: "Guys, how do I fix the background noise issue with my mic?" vacuum cleaner noises in the background
You're going off?
i think i hit...12-ish today, watch like 3 movies lol
Nah, I'm on all night... me and this jar of nutella are gonna party
Boo
Preference 


@tawny ore o.o
Qhala is that your name in-game? (sorry I went to the shop for some beer)(
Yep
ok 1 sec, gonna find you
k
@tawny ore @snow wadi Having some food and I'll hop on and :V
@tawny ore accepted
I hope gut means ruined
@rough pulsar Hokai o/
it does, lotta wolf boy avatars roll around all salty. it should work fine in a world designed to accommodate it, yknow, with willing participants
im gonma be incredibly weary around public worlds with mics lol
seriously, can vrchat stop making me get stuck on the loading screens that stays at 100%
you will never reach the truth
your loading end is having no end at all
kore ga requiem da
That is the power of virtual reality requiem
Gamer confrontation

E
stop spamming
Maybe
it costs 400 thousand dollars to make this man shut up for 12 seconds
That is correct
well besides jojo, there is this one animeme, called, serial experiment lain, i think you heard of it
Uh
I think you got the wrong door
Ok
VRChat broke the fucking sounds
but my point still stands, go watch it 
dam toto Africa in an empty mall sure sounds good
well i mean its true :shrug
Also im sure about it now
Im going to make my avatar into a walking scam sales person
Again VRC crashed and took the PC with itself and forced it to restart
More thinking pyramid-style scheme crazy
oh, hmm
you have to have the "speak to ur manager" haircut and carry around a satchel of lotions
Im keeping my avatar look but im gonna be looking for investors or trying to sell dumb products that are all memes ๐
Been kinda doing it for the past month with my older avatars by now so why not go fully into it
@coarse anchor Sounds like defective RAM, PSU or similar.
VRC hits PCs a LOT harder than most other games do.
Lot to do with user created and curated content but im guessing you're just here to complain and not drop any real feedback
case closed
It still shouldn't force you to restart in any case unless you have something like timeout detection + recovery disabled (which you might have done for another game in the past)
It'd just restart the applicable driver otherwise
i can complain about it asmuch as i want to given how the game seems tp have devolved from back to now
People will just meme you then if all you do is complain so go at it
if anyone sees a small roomba in VRChat vacuuming thats me
just an fyi
i might go sicko mode
moar like sucko mode https://images.rapgenius.com/288eb0b7641fe9199a36f927aa8ce3cc.590x590x1.jpg
vroooom
Iโm old what does sicko mode mean
A sicko mode is when you hear distant piano in the background
tfw just talking to your own group but then gets randomly blocked
Loud/trash mic?
no clue, were quite out of distance,
How do I know when I am skilled enough to start doing commesions and charging people for me to hold their hand and do a generic mmd model
Sounds like imposter syndrome
Probably never if you have to ask honestly
i tried doing commissions once, not touching that shit again until i learn how to 3d model, if i ever consider it again at that point
I just hate doing stuff for strangers lol even with money involved
i really wouldnt do anything if you can only do edits, no matter how good a kitbasher you are
thats just me tho
I had an avatar that looked like it was exploding when it spoke due to me changing prims and breaking shape keys. Now I can't see to do that even if I try.
Any tips?
id say start commissioning when you can do things that
1 > requires a significant amount of creative energy and
2 > by nature involves creative energy in order to return a clearly high level of quality, or at least higher than normal
particle systems and animations make more sense as commissions rather than kitbashing, as an example, avoiding straight up 3d modeling
Breaking them, oddly enough. It was meant as a joke and I've done it several times accidentally, but now can't figure out how to do it deliberately.
@finite kraken Concerning models & co: You'll know when people ask you if you're taking commission, that's how I started.
@faint skiff Take your face/mouth vertices in basis and merge 2/3 vertices or even better: remove double
you can also commission anything that definitely requires a large amount of technical skill. normal kitbashing imo is not worth much, but weightpainting and rigging def is
^
@fringe glade Oddly enough, none of that breaks it. Even deleting random ones doens't. No idea why it's suddenly so resilient.
so if you merge 2/3 vertices of the mouth - that get moved by the shapekeys - it don't break it ? Hmm, should tho D:
Nope, still works despite the fact that it clearly shouldn't lol
tf
Basically the issue I was trying to recreate was, after removing an ear in the past, trying to use one of the shape keys would cause the entire model to explode.
yush i see exactly what we're talking about
dfhdfgfdgdfh{
Yet even in this state, only the polys I'd expect to move, move, lol
(despite the fact they are now in the wrong place, but that's to be expected)
Ah well, its taking too long for a joke now, I'll leave it.
@faint skiff "in your case changing the number of vertices, will have broken all of the shape keys with no way but to remake them."
idk ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
@fringe glade Yeah, looking at them funny in the past would break them. Now I can delete half the face with no issue, it's crazy.
Hottokeeki Here~!
yo
Hi
Yoooo
Hru
Doing pretty good! ๐ How are ya doing?
feeling drained for some reason
I am good just playing games vr chat right now
Drained? o:
i guess, body is like, "are we engaged in living reality right now? why?" like, not sick or tired, but like.... LIKe I NEED AN APPLE!
apple can fix this, once they're cold enuf
ok running vrchat without my quest was a mistake lol
Oh ok
APPLES.
I am not sure, improvements possibly?
I wonder how much my pc would hate me if i tried to stream to my tv through xbox AND log into steamVRgames from my Quest at the same time....
It might hate you o:
its a 2012 baby, it may just give up on life.
ooh, a new need! a way to connect my bluetooth keyboard to my quest.
oh they added a way just last month, spiffy
Thats gonna kill your pc mate
it will indeed, luckily all i wanted was a keyboard lol
all that reading and no ones telling me how tho
might be because of time difference?
Is it just me i just notice your pic and my pic looks like they looking at each other
Haaah! they do!
rip pc
From my perspective my pic is winking at your pic while your pic looks he about to get laid xd
then report it to one of devs the would know what to do mate
ooh indeed!
Can anyone here confirm if I would get better FPS if i upgrade to an AMD FX 8350?
if you're using VR the FX is the biggest garbage you can have
even without it's the most crappy CPU series ever
I'll be able to get Ryzen in 4 months from now via a NZXT build machine.. Only way i could do it early without waiting a year..
I know you recommended against prebuilts yesterday @ruby needle but would it really be all that bad if its the only way at the time?
prebuild pc's are just bad price wise
if you bild it your self you can easly safe 100+
which you can invest into a better GPU or so insted
Yeah, commission is too high now on day...
The machine i am looking at has a Nvidia rtx 2060 I believe it was..
Heck right now i am on a AMD RX 460..
if its in 4 months you want to make sure its a ryzen 3rd gen
the rtx2060 is fine at least
Hopefully NZXT will have a black friday sale and make getting the PC even cheaper.. ๐
Does anyone here have a vr headset? Im thing of getting the oculus quest due to built in tracking and wireless but i wanna know how good the tracking is
Mostly to use on vr chat
Direct or though Virtual Desktop? (For someone to answer)
@vocal shard would personally not reccommend oculus quest for primarily VRC use
not cuz of tracking, quest tracking is pretty good
2019 pcvr headets will serve you better, sso long as your PC meets minimim spec
My pc is great @desert stratus and ok ill research it
as long as you have higher than a 4th gen i5 for a cpu and gtx 970 for a gpu you will be fine
if your IPD is between 60-65 id reccommend rift s (u can check IPD with phone app if its supported), else odyssey+ is another good choice for first VR
My first one is the rift, still new to useing it. But seams to me to work well.
And hello.
oh god.. please add a reconnect button for that ik thing. it keeps happening.. now even audio on some people will randomly not work.
and its not my connection... a corporate 500mb/s connection
What about the htc vive?
Vive is pretty decent, but controllers are terrible
I'd personally recommend the rift over vive anyday
The Oculus on the other hand never ages because Mark Zuckerberg cut his hand and bled his lizard blood onto every HMD shipped.
how is ur experience? plan on doing that next year so
It's pretty good tbh, I haven't had any controller issues whatsoever, the 2.0 base stations are phenomenal to say the least
The headset, FOV, higher refresh rates (using a 1080ti) are pretty good as well
It's a very noticeable upgrade from the CV1
The controllers fit very well in the hand, although take some time to properly fit to your hand
Ironically enough as well, it took me longer to take everything out of the box than it did to setup the HMD itself
good to know
just more reinforcement rhat jump from cv1 to index is worth it
for me
e... e... e... eto
i have an og vive and i can confirm the controllers are ass
i wanna save up and get a vive cosmos
Why not the index? @flat narwhal
I mean so far there isnโt much info about the cosmos
Apparently I'm the only one that didn't mind the Vive wands...
And Valve will be opening up global shipping very soon, it's not staying locked to the US and EU.
thank god
!!!!
The wands are just very Inconvenient
I have so many friends eagerly awaiting the end of the region restrictiona
honestly i may just buy the index knuckles
the vive is good i just hate the wands
im so glad i can use valve's knuckles with the vive
Index is kind of on the pricier side Iโm waiting to see what Cosmos has to offer and at what price
I mean isnโt the vive cosmos just a rift s with another sensory on the headset?
And itโs pretty pricey from what Iโve seen of leaked prices
I don't trust HTC personally and the fact they are being cagey on the specs leads me to believe it won't be anything special, but we'll see....
But I went from the OG Vive to the Index and the difference is amazing, so I'm happy with that.
Well they canโt sell a headset until they spill all the beans so Iโm waiting for the beans to be spilled. No harm in waiting even if itโs nothing worth purchasing. Just in case itโs actually good. I have a CV1 in the mean time anyway.
we just need the FOV. from what we know, it's slightly higher resolution than the index
ยฃ700 was the leaked price from Argos on the Cosmos.
Same cost as a lighthouse owner getting an Index with the controllers.
Haven't really seen anything that could really justify it yet.
Is looking to be effectively a Rift-S with better audio and potentially better screen.
that seems odd tho, because earlier someone was telling everyone that the price will be close to $900 (close to ยฃ700)
and HTC quickly commented saying that was incorrect and too high
the screen was already confirmed to be 1440x1700 90hz per eye. so it should definitely be better than rift S
The $ to ยฃ conversion for electronics in the UK is nearly always 1 to 1, rather than going by actual exchange rates.
oh, ok
A $500 graphics card in the US is ยฃ500 here.
$500 Vive = ยฃ500 Vive, etc.
Kinda sucks.

I feel like if they dropped ยฃ100 from the price, it might stand a chance of stealing customers from the Rift-S. But as is, is surely going to struggle.
If they were able to get it down to ยฃ500, it could be a major source of temptation for those considering the Rift-S and comparing it. But HTC doens't have the space to sell at low margins like Valve or Oculus does.
they may have shot themselves in the foot though, because they always tried to sell inside out tracking (and even optical outside in) as just for budget, inferior headsets, and that's why you buy a vive with lighthouses. now if they're going to sell a new inside out tracked headset higher price than their OG vive after that.. might be hard
Mhmm. They kind of setup the market for the Index, and then abandoned it to instead chase Oculus target market, arriving way too late and delivering at a rather uncompetitive price.
I wonder what the future of products like their extra trackers will be.
Whether Valve would ever produce their own, or such.
READY FOR A CAN OF WORMS?! Which VR set do I get
virtual boy ๐
You ask one question, we throw several back at you!
What's your budget? Do you have a lot of floor space? Do you want to add full body tracking on later on? Is your VR PC portable (laptop) and do you travel a lot?
Then there's other more specific things, like how important are things like resolution, colour, FOV, tracking, to you?
Don't tease us like this spencer, debating vr headsets might be a can of worms but it's our favourite can of worms
Get a DK1. It might be a collectors item some day. :v
Speaking of VirtualBoy.... I suddenly wonder if there's a VirtualBoy emulator... =O Not only that but wonder if someone rendered Wario completely in Unreal so you can run it's completely red horror-show in VR!
Are we talking about classic vive vs Rift S? OG Vive has the lowest resolution of any currently-still-sold headset, I don't really recommend it.
Rift S or Valve Index. Depending on budget.
yea i bought an og vive a couple months ago for 300, going from wmr to vive the resolution pissed me off so much
but being able to have much more range for tracking was worth
Oh shit that reminds me I still need to try using my laptop & WMR in vrchat in a field sometime
We were talking about Cosmos Adeon.
Oh, i know nothing about Cosmos
Well I wanna see how far WMR can track. There's some nice big empty fields near my house.
There's not much known in general yet. So far we have a potential leaked price of ยฃ700 (which would typically translate to $700, with how UK prices on electronics usually work). A screen res 1440x1700 at 90hz. It has the same very good audio pods that the V-Pro or Vive-DAS has.
how far? not sure, there was a video like a year ago where a guy was in a field
I can't remember if IPD adjustment has been revealed or not.
Just need a massive VRC world and see how it goes
Just be careful with the sun on those lenses. Though I'm sure you're not the type to make that basic of a blunder.
I'd do it on a cloudy day partly for that reason.
Hopefully it doesn't attempt to track the clouds. : P
@vocal shard sorry for crashing to bed night, it was pretty later on my end. I'll try to make it up to you next session. :<
@rough pulsar Thank you for being patient with this big burb last night when trying to get you in our instance, you're a star! โค
all good ^^

Xd
hey gamers, do you guys know where i can find a Violet Evergarden Model?
on the internet ๐คก
well, as an avatar already made lol
nowhere then
I have one myself but it's not that great
also dont post the same question across multiple channels
cool
I cant even send you anything I have rn so you're outta luck here
Creeper
Aww man
๐
its amazing that this game still goes to not responding when you click exit vrchat
like its not crashing am telling you to close
been doing it since i started play 2018 feb
it's been a thing even earlier
yikes
like even ALT F4ing still makes its "not respond" like boi it means close the program straight away button
task manager is our best friend
yep
I like what they did with windows 10... where if an application is not responding - just keep clicking on the whiteout and windows will be like "You want me to kill that for ya fam?"
I got tired of clicking on it, I'd rather just open tm and kill it there
would be nice if I didnt have to do either of those
Actually you just click it once and it already goes "KILL?"
not for me
Also henlo all o/
yo o7
hey guys
i need help i need to report a seriously bad player whos been ddosing and harassing my friends lately
I cant block him, he has a client that prevents blocking and reporting him too
Long term solution: vpn
Short term: just stop playin or awhile they will get bored and move on
he also has been vpn and ban evading too
you dont understand he's been doing this for the longest time
he doesn't stop
Okay longer term solution make a new account and request your isp to switch your ip
still though how do we report such a threat since he can do this to others
i have prove he did it too with screenshots
~~well the client i mean
you cant just unfriend them?
creeper
No.
D:
I've played vrchat for a week now. My very first night of playing it was a blast, I met some really cool people who were a lot of fun to hang out with in game. But every day since then, I've only met weirdo's and assholes. That seems to be like 2/3 of all players which makes the game not fun to play. If I'm not getting hit on by some creep (one dude actually thought he was my boyfriend because we hung out for two hours and then got onto me in for not being on vrchat when I said I would and I seemed unfaithful like his ex? crazy af right?!?!) then some dude is being an asshole for absolutely no reason trying to start shit.
I guess the reason why I'm on here bitching is to say that I've deleted vrchat because of how I was treated during the game. Please make the game fun for those who are still playing and actually trying to just hang out and have fun. For a lot of people, it's the only way they get to socialize. What does it hurt to be respectful towards other players? Just saying.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day.
Your far from the only one thinking that Bekah, only tip i can give is try joining a community discord or a group and join there friends+ rooms.
The social bar is leaps higher there and people are overall more mature then. But publics are a big hit or miss yea
if you only lasted a week then you're a little thin skinned 
Yeah you need some internal resilience to handle VRC
My very first VRC room entrance had a girl in the corner of room of rain fapping.
You can't just block the person? ๐ค
I work in a bar for a living. I'm plenty thick skinned. I play games to have fun, not deal with shit I deal in the real world too lol. I just thought it would be fun everytime like it was my first time is all.
I've blocked so many people lol
I legit dont get why we always jump on people saying rooms are shit and toxic.
We all know the community in large is toxic as shit. And mic, dont go saying it isnt as evne me who doesnt care about that has to block users just to function in public worlds.
It's pretty decent for the most part once you find the right people, publics, while not the abysmal pit people make them seem like, is largely "unvetted" socially, if that makes sense
well, I have bad news for you
vrc is like that, every day is a hit or miss
And the difference between kids are awake times and not is insane
That is, the people there aren't there because they're a friend, or a friend of a friend, or even a friend of a friend of a friend, so they're truly just randoms. People tend to be socially-vetted in friends+ rooms, though you can find decent people in publics during the right hours too
I just don't understand why people have to act the way they do. It isn't hard to be nice to others and it isn't hard to not be a huge creep
The natural progression of VRC:
You join public rooms and get a 20% success ratio of fun
You find people that will eventually gravitate towards you or you gravitate towards them via social -> going into public rooms and oftentimes just chatting nonsense with those people
You will then find people who are more inclined towards private rooms and have their social circles
Your social circles connect and thus you become a private room hermit.
Still does not excuse all the behavior happening
Because it's easier to be a weirdo online, it's like that anywhere, most places just arent as in your face
The 50% white name-plate ratio in the Pug lately seems a bit high. Anyone else seeing that?
@vocal shard Teenagers growing up learning how to communicate to girls from anime and games isnt a great combo. Also toxic behavior does not get punished within this game really.
I would say in VRC - randomness is part of the fun; each dive should be treated as an adventure with the most open mind you can manage
Holy fuck whatโs up with the paragraphs my people
But yeah. lol bitching about it isn't going to solve anything.
Iโm too retarded to read all dis
Original has turned into an underage dad
@tawny ore If i could take you to a 2017 vibe room id show you how thats only half of the story.
You know its depressing when both you and your kid celebrate combined 18th birthday
thsts not depressing
that's impossible
Again, Iโm not underaged
@vocal shard I've found it's super, SUPER hit and miss. Some evenings I'll run into a bunch of sociable people. Other times it's just people spazzing around and people in their little tight-knit groups.
Smh
Oclac I'd rather not ๐ I don't want to have a point of reference thats "better" than what I consider a good experience these days
Also the time you're on really matters too.
Compare public worlds to friends+ worlds then (and not the mirror potato's friends+ rooms)
openxr is here bois
@inner cape how dare u clown me
@faint skiff GMT+1 1-5AM hours are pure bless
Iโll clown you
@faint skiff Yeah, the cliques were very tight-knit. That I came across anyway.
Unless I'm just some sort of magical exception though, it's not as hard as people make sound it to get into these "private" groups or circles of friends, all you need to do is be able to hold a conversation and not be overly weird
I've socially awkward lol
Don't let anyone fool you into thinking it's hard though, just takes talking and joining on the right people
Itโs hard for me to get into groups
I'm**
Mic you know your more social and retard person proof then most in this community
Well I meet plenty of people like that, but it's still very possible.
lol I'm friends with plenty of people i'd consider socially awkward that are pretty popular amongst their friends though
I once tried to join a group, 5mins later everyone is trying to crash me lmao
so that's entirely possible as well
@vocal shard Mic is very much an exception to many circumstances and doesn't really reflect what other people see/hear so take that with a pinch of salt...
and something tells me the people who truly struggle for a long time and never find their "place" are the problem, not all the people in the game
SO people who never find their place in the game because other people are dicks are the actual problem? I can't really make sense of that logic
Fak dats me
No, because 100% people aren't dicks
I want to live in the world you live in. lol
if you literally can't ever find a place in this game for yourself, a community you fit in, there's a good, good chance that you're the problem. I don't mean you specifically, just people in general who complain about never having any friends
if you dont do anything about it, you'll forever stay that way
gotta throw yourself out there and not let the bad things get to you
What? A realistic one? lol
Omg I just read ur complaint @vocal shard and honestly, wtf
I have friends....just not video game friends. lol ๐
100% of people aren't assholes who want to shun you, it's the truth
This is the internet, deal with it
That's what I'm talking about...people are so fucking rude
Not everyone
For absolutely no reason but "bc its the internet. deal with it"
And so what if some people are? Fukin deal with it itโs in every game
Every game has this
They're telling you to deal with it because nothing you can do will change it
If u canโt handle it, fukin leave
I mean you can leave, of course that's always an option which is what you seem to have taken
@hollow breach Not really to this extent
Stoopid bot
And I've said that already "bitching about it won't solve anything"
but gawdamn, guess I can't fucking vent either
Yes, to this extent. VRC isn't an exception. Every game has these people, this type of people, you just don't see as much of them because they're generally in short bursts
30 minute matches, etc
@vocal shard Also second channel related warning, Original was recently temp banned for being argumentative and shit-stirring whenever possible. This channel in general may not be a good place to talk about the game itself, ironically.
There's a type of funnel on most other online games. Your action is limited to only so many people at a time for an amount of time.
Holy fak

Plz get off the internet
shut up original, literally being a lil clown
Make me
Then why do you reply to him? ๐ค
good point
Guys? Take it down a notch maybe?
When has telling anyone to shut up over the internet ever worked? I promise you cant think of a single time lol
@vocal shard I both want to agree and disagree.
Most of my friend groups are the long time VRC users, back from 2017 and earlier, and none of them are dicks or creeps. However I also totally understand what you mean, the environment of VRC as a whole has changed a lot over the years I've been on it.
Some for the better, some for the worse.
Yeah
People just throw this "Oh most people..." thing because of course those are the experiences you remember. I don't just come here saying "Man, I just had 58 great interactions in a row! I LOVE how awesome the VRC community can be!"
What did i miss?
I don't know, I don't think projecting your experiences onto others a counterarguement makes it right.
we just trying to give hope
Like if u see a toxic bunch, just donโt interact with them, fakin ez
Fez you dislike communities and friend groups, in the nicest way possible, none of your arguments are very relevant to begin with.
You literally want systems in place to help prevent communities from forming and growing. Just think about that
@brisk bone yes
Mic, it's been argued by so many people that your magical experiences are not what most people experience. Especially as you've been around for so long so the environment you started in was very different.
The environment I started in is nothing like the one that exists now, nor are the people I talk to.
I'd just want a way to talk normally to people, you constructed it to be that way. I just want to be able to chat about a specific topic easily. I don't really give a fuck if it forms communities or not.
It's unfortunate you deleted all your arguments, i guess that's why the rule exists, so people cant lie
I'll go make a new vrc world for a while until this blows over >_>;;
@vocal shard There's something else to consider too though: VRChat isn't a game. Sure it runs on a game engine (unity), and it does have games within it, but VRC itself is definitely no more a game than hanging out with some friends at the park or whatever is.
With that in mind, would you say your expectations of what you can get out of vrchat is any different if you consider it to not be a game, and instead a general social environment?
this turning into a personal argument, you know what that means 
I guess
And no, it's been argued by the same....5 or 6 people. Woudl you think the same if every person who had a good experience came in here and talked about it every time it happened like they do when something bad happens?
I said I had a good experience. I started my bitching out with that actually lol
I just don't really understand what you want to achieve, make 5-6 of us more miserable? Like, okay? Just keep it for yourself, man.
TL;DR what's up?
@vocal shard wanna install vrchat again and hangout with me : 3
Also someone changing their minds about something after a topic that descended into just pure madness doesn't mean it's a lie either.
i was talking about you and fez in particular, mic, not bekahs' argument
Prob get rejected
It's fine. Mic can cure cancer by just telling everyone else that he doesn't have cancer, therefore it clearly doesn't exist.
But offer is there
I've never once said toxic people don't exist, Ive never once said crashers don't exist, I've never once said there aren't times where people are a huge issue, I've only ever said that these things are blown out of proportion
They are
Blue!!!
I never say that these things aren't problems, just that there's not as big of an issue as people make them out to be, especially when there's so many people whomanaged and continue to manage jsut find by making friends and forming social circles that are literally massive webs of people who are socially vetted
Vocal minority
Damn arguments about sociality
I only found the dick and creep circles I guess
Exactly. Go talk to all the people partying together on friday and saturday nights, ask them how many bad experiences they had then. Ask how many new people they met, or people they hadn't seen in a while, anything like that.
Omg queen actually blocked me
Well, again you can never find those people. So that ends that arguement.
Yeah
"You can never find those people" Why?
They're in the "void", so to speak.
OK so what's that, explain it to me
that solely depends on your social skills I think
What's this inaccessible place that only the chosen gods seem to be able to reach?
@hollow breach Well maybe if you actually added to a conversation for once rather than being an argumentative child and adding literally nothing. Look back through everything you've said in the last hour and tell me you've said anything of worth.
Then why reply to him?
Enverex took the bait.
Stoopid bot
I blocked him lol
There's "void" unless you mean the map, it isn't a thing. People are there, you just have to meet them
I understand ur name now @inner cape
and to do that you need one, literally ONE friend. It all starts there.
I don't know the people I meet.. Well, I'd rather not meet them.
@brisk bone Where have you been going?
Well, my RNG on this platform has been garbage. I don't really like playing the lottery either. It isn't fun.
You're a mute TTS person, what do you expect your experience to be like?
Also the constant crashing and DoSsing just makes it worse.
I meet my share of nice TTS people but that's exceedingly rare
my rng has been super duper good
Mimi is cool, she's TTS. Revelbot, Metro used to be one and he's in this discord too
DDOS -> Use a VPN
Crashers -> Use safety settings
Ultimate option: avoid bad people, its not fucking hard
Bad people don't have bad people name tags or anything lol
Not always possible in public worlds but there's workarounds :p Just gotta use 'em
@covert blade yes, but kind of ruins the immersion a bit for the safety
They just kinda come out of nowhere
How does turning off animations ruin immersion?
Sure, but once you have played for awhile there is a dead giveaway
You can tell the way someone acts, the group they are with the way they talk
@rigid crescent I had at least 4 instances of people trying to interact with me last night alone which made no sense as they were doing something that I couldn't see as I had custom animations off.
Shaders
rng in vrchat is giving you good opportunities
its up to you to take them or not
that's why I think it's more on you to find a good experience cause opportunities show up eventually, no matter what
basically social profiling ๐
I've tried. I went to one world that had only 8 people and I thought "yeah, this is a small group of people, I'll start here" and then they started talking shit about how my name was spelled lol. Like really? It's just a name.
Which lead to confusion as other people then commented about what they were doing, but I couldn't see it, etc.
@hollow breach Then don't use safety. Matter of fact is, if you don't like being crashed or blinded, turn off animations and shaders. If you don't really care about crashes and rather want to see everything, don't use safety.
I mean how mad could someone actually be at a name, to me that sounds like a joke Bekah.
Oh no I agreed with u mason donโt worry
But complaining about these problems and then complaining about the counter to avoid these problems wouldn't make sense
Groups of people always felt like just a brick wall to me ever since they started showing up.
If you can "struggle" through being slightly inconveniced due to not seeing some guy's floating orb animation, I'm pretty sure making friends is worth it. You don't need overrides to meet people and have a good time
Guys look I apologized, notice this!!!
No
Blue ima join ur world and give u a high five
Clown emoji is the ultimate rebuttal
But I wasn't having a good time unfortunately ๐ฆ
Watch me
I keep animations off for non-friends mainly because I really don't care for most animations, but I've got hundreds of people shown, lots of friends of friends and whatnot, or strangers that seem cool
IDK I really have no issues with the safety settings other than the colored ranks stuff but I am not starting that topic again.
But regardless of that I somehow am able to make friends, it isn't even rocket science. Just talk.
and probably dont get upset when someone jokes about your name
Not talking makes it harder but not impossible
D :
talk and be patient
Wait who jokes about their name
If queen seeโs this. Every day someone makes a joke or makes fun of my name. Do I care? No
Bekah mentioned that a group of people started talking shit about the way their name was spelled @brisk bone
I pointed out it was likely a joke, but i was not there so who knows
They weren't joking about it. But it's just a name so it's not like I gave a fuck, but when I was doing my part to try and be social and they were straight up being dicks and not even trying to socialize with me, then yea. Not fun.
I don't know, I probably will just wait and see if there's any social features coming out before I try again.
ok
I'm just relaxing these days in wonderful worlds anyways, it's comfy.
BlueASS
BlueISIS, bro its 2 ez
I always called you blue ass
I doubt we'll see anything that will magically cure your experience though, or anyoyne's for that matter.
Everyone just refers to me as that video game by that crazy dude. So it's all good.
What an original name
I know and i cry myself to fucking sleep at night @inner cape
I mean, any social feature improvements would be a big help to make the experience better.
I get shit about my accent from Americans all the time. I've just got to the point where in 2 seconds I'll hide them, mute them and then block them. The less I dwell on them, the less time I remember the interaction for. At this point I forgot about them within a few minutes now.
BlueASIS is a good name cuz its easy to make nicknames out of so you dont have to pronounce the entire thing
Like for example knowing what people are interested in, so you can strike up a conversation about it ๐
you love it, spanked ass
Makes the whole place feel less toxic
"Blue...as is? as iss? ass ess? ass?"
This is every interaction ever ^^^
2 seconds D :
Just listen to the conversation? Out of game communities exist. You have the tools available, you jsut choose not ot use them because they're not in the client,.
lol
A movie discord for people who watch movies. Multiple avatar ones, exercise, all the discords in Community, etc
It just feels like infiltration and it feels uncomfortable, that's all.
It started out really fun for me. It just wasn't anymore. Just be nice to people, its not hard just like socializing isn't hard Mic. That's all I was saying.
Thats because it is infiltration
It's not "infiltration" though, and this kind of goes to show the problem is with you, not the game...
You're free to feel that way, but it's not the game's fault or the people's fault.
I mean by the definition of infiltration he isnt wrong..
Even here just now, look at how many people got rude with me for no reason. lol How is there fun in that when I get the same thing in vrchat, ya know?
I'm glad other people are able to enjoy it though and I hope they continue to enjoy it
Cause ur argument is kind of dum...
Bekah how long did you play for?
i may be biased but queen has some points too, both sides do
week, blue
Oh no I have to go against teri now
can i get some help guys??
A week. First time I played was great. Every day since wasn't fun at all
i did but my question was ignored..
nono, im not gonna go against anyone, thats not what it should be about
I will have war Teri...
Again, maybe I should just sit around in Quest friendly worlds and see how that goes. I may as well try that for a bit.
Got a quest friendly avatar anyways, lol.
then a war you shall get
Maybe you should just use the tools available to you and create connections using them?
Hehehe, Thanks for not raging on me @vocal shard
At times I wish I could "power level" people into friendships just to prove a point lol
Most people would be like โomg heโs so toxic he wants warโ
to show it's not this miracle I somehow perform daily
If you could do that, then you wouldn't need to prove a point
@vocal shard ur kewl
nah, i know its just banter mate
I disagree with the use of tools as I do not like them.
Not everyone else ๐
@brisk bone TTS is a tool ๐
OK, so you intentionally make your goals harder to achieve because you don't want to join a discord?
or visit one of the many available events?
Simply because they're not something offered within the .exe?
Well, events are not and have not changed much over the years.
The people who go to them have
Well, I mean everything kinda changed.
There's always new people, there's always new experiences. You intentionally avoid them and make it harder for yourself because you can't type a tag in to insta-meet people ingame
Events could be an issue depending on Fez's timezone
I mean, meet new people
It's as easy as joining a discord in the community server or going to an event.
I know the main events are like 5am for me
THere's events in all timezones. Fewer in some but they exist
I just don't agree with the notion that community servers has to be the main point of enjoying or having a good engagement with others.
That's all. ๐
I mean I understand it's staff policy, but I disagree with it.
Not using them is simply saying "I don't like this perfectly viable tool to make my goals easier to achieve so I will avoid them."
Even at events there will be the social cliques. So how do you find "your" clique if people don't even try to be social with you when you are with them?
I'm not trying to argue, I'm just trying to understand
I literally walk up to groups where they're talking about something I understand and join. That's it.
So like is queen coming back to vrc or???
I talk, talk, and if they're not interested I move on
I guess the best opportunity is still to just watch VRChat streamers for what VRChat is supposed to be as the experience is unattainable through normal means. 
See it's at this point where he breaks down and starts lying
I guess I'm cooler irl than I am in the video game world lol I don't have these issues irl ๐
So, what "special means" are these things attainable by? Can you tell me?
@brisk bone vrc streamers? Donโt make me laugh
Streamers aren't some magical fairies that can't be touched, more often than not they're in friends+. Like everyone else
I mean some do meme stuff in publics or RP but they're admittedly not as common
Streamers in public must be common, I typically see at least one a night, normally more.
I haven't seen streamers in a long time whenever I am around public. But, then again the instances have kinda changed a bit. So it's not too common to see them anymore because of that.
U must know a lot of streamers then
Apparently Iโve been in a room with one but had no idea
Just gotta know them I guess
Oh queen left the server
After all that, I want die
saying that would sound like im flexing. lots of people are friends, like actual friends not orbiters, with streamers or have mutuaals
Iโm #1 orbiter
Moon is the 1st orbiter of Earth
all the streams are rp, dance, or socializing withmore emphasis on the latter
I just assume streamers frequent the Pug and Cat often as they're some of the busiest places.
@vernal forge yes
(the ones I run into I mean)
so to say their experience diffrs is silly
its not the hardest thing in the world to find streamers, just takes a bit of work but can akso be done through sheer luck. this guy who's been trying to get me off my ass and play guitar was like "hey come join this world," didnt know what i was expecting and fucking naddition was there lol
Silly goose
everyone begins in publics
Hey at least they're able to say whole sentences
naddition? Time to search dis person up
@brisk bone You have to get over this fear of talking though. Using TTS is going to be killing your "interactability"
ill save you troble > vrc streamer who also did some horror games and other vr shit, mainly makes jumpscare avatars from horror games
400k subs on YouTube, noice
yeah most i meet im unfamilia xwith, i dont watchvrc content unless im in a friends chat
^
watching vrc videos on youtube
vs
watching literally any other contentwwith friends or people in vrc
VRChat video thumbnails are the weirdest things ever. ๐คฃ
movie world is the best fucking world
Like sometimes its just completely unrelated to the video.
I don't know any of the "streamers" I run into, they just start talking about people "in chat" or thanking people for subbing, that sort of thing
So much content, I guess it makes sense.
implying only vrc tubers have weird ass thumbnails
one thing that makes me mildly anxious for dumb reasons is a vrc streamer or vtuber recording me
Well, I don't see it that much elsewhere on youtube.
@faint skiff I fukin hate those screamers who talk to their chat with their mic on
*streamers
thats happened once and i was hardly prominent but still, fuck that stop catching me looki ng like a fool on cam /) ~ (\
TBH the only time a streamer approached me I returned to home as quickly as I could cause I was afraid they were using me as content. ๐
@hollow breach It's the only reason I know they're streamers in the first place. That and often they'll be a bit... off, but that's by no means concrete evidence, heh.
0-original? thank you for the sub my man, welcome to the crew
That's a long time ago though.
@inner cape I will find u on vrc
doesnt help that i barely know of any streamer other than incredibly popular (+100k sub) ones
you gonna have to get that 100ยฃ patreon tier to meet me on vrc, original
i only know who im friends with, or mutuals with
lol ghosto
@desert stratus Well I mean everyone and their mum thinks they're a streamer these days. It's just not worth acknowledging.
streaming vrc is just weird in general to me tbh
I'm a famous steamer
even if you have a fantastic and engaging personality, id rather just be talking to you in game or playing the game if youre just...doing exactly that, playing the game, talking to people, or fucking around in random worlds
I always wondered who watches VRChat streamers
wait ghosto is streaming again?
I corrected myself u cuck ; (
nah fam, i need my world review steam
usually people with a lot of time on their hands, so really young people
Iโm on phone
you haven't finished the series
๐ world review ๐
i really dont know tbh. but apparently a good number of people watch streamers, so much so that sometimes they come in here like "oi uve heard of this boi??"
thing I have done over a year ago
naddition a cool dude ; i usually join him when i'm bored xd
Or like that Reddit post where someone was complaining that people were "pretending" they hadn't heard of this streamer that had less than 2000 subs, lol
he's one of the OGs ; remember hanging out in the old hub and shit xd
not a real streamer if less than 200k subs :5head:
i was like still too socially anxious when i ran into him, got over every barrier except the "popular people are normal" one, freaked out, then joined back on my friend who left me in there and yelled at him lmfao
if you have 0 subs, get someone to unsubscribe to get instant 256 subs
i think they fixed that back in 89
@cold talon I have 59 followers, is that good?
ask overwatch about it
naddition is an example of someone who actually makes some VRC content worth making, cuz i cant exactly sit down, make baldy fazbear #31 and start jumpscaring people, cuz first id have to get better at avatars, then get good at scaring people
anyone who uses vrc as the medium for content rather than the content itself tends to be a good vrc tuber or streamer
Watch my streams, I promise u wonโt get bored, maybe
i have strictly no idea about his content tbh he's just a good lad to talk to & laugh lul
if that makes sense..m
@everyone
Absolutely
That's 2000 subs on YouTube I mean, which is really nothing.
heated vrc moments @hollow breach ??
Huh?
nvm lol
Iโm afraid
shit meme
They were implying you said the n word when heated in vrc
based of a shitty meme where someone tried to defend pewdiepie's bridge literature by calling it a "heated gamer moment"
gamer's guide to architecture and traffic infrastructure

i still have the horriffically scuffed avatar from that nightmare

ah, i love nightmares in the morning, especially avatars that take up so much room >u>
some cuck put me on a auto crash list lol, boyfriend kept rejoining that instance he was in and crashing immediately
If it was in the pug, then no, it was some dude that went around to each instance crashing it
That's why it went from like 400 ppl to 80 all of a sudden
oh wack, i thought it was that kid who screeched about putting me on kos lol
and then crashed me multiple times
Just avoid the pug for now, it keeps happening
