Dunno
its the base that most people use, its the name of the creator
Mmd means miku mku dance
its that one female and male avatar that you see a lot of people use
anime is easy to find
Derpy chan?
the problem KWV is that custom bases is not something everyone has time to make
so the majority of people use tda bases
and it's pretty aesthetically pleasing if you're into it, and a lot of people are
I used blenders body base, the one that looks like the artists wooden posable figure
real avatars are boring as all hell
And that's why knuckles avatar is the best, unisex, not generic anime base, very customisable, has a lore, very handsome
and usually used to meme

my main avatar is from an old game but I've custom modelled the head, hands and then retextured it
but I plan to make a new fully custom made one soon
but its gonna be a slow process since I have other priorities
knuckles was a wholesome but misunderstood meme
also for worlds I'm trying to pick models that have "not normal" artstyles for vrc
so I'm doing my part in giving some variety π
game avatars are alright
recently purchased some base models like this that I'll model outfits, different hair styles for over time:
https://i.gyazo.com/3e17c3ce130ba5b588b1f4958b025196.png
and make them avatars next year at some point
and then also got some models like this too:
https://i.gyazo.com/a2276fa415c2ae28feaa930c2bf42609.png
more of an overwatch style i guess
$150 worth of models, I lost control over the weekend with all the sales π π
but slowly want to study these so i can speed up my own workflow
I wish i had that kind of money
in making models at this level
it takes me months to make new characters
and I want to shorten that time down considerably
(getting late for work so I'm off π )
Knuckles is a idiotis meme
Sure if you prefer wolfboys instead
you...you...SMOL BRIANS! here we are gifted with a LIMITLESS REALITY and you squander it perusing things you have already seen! I have memories of swimming through skies! Of having conquered armies of aquatic titans! Ive made peace with mechanical ghosts, scaled non-euclidian mountains, and have led a zombie revolutions! This new art medium has the potential to not only make our imagination a reality, but put others IN IT! So I ask you WHY do you want virtual reality to be like reality!?
The wolfboys are okay its just the large number of people who use em lol
They have
i want virtual reality to be like reality for myself because i dont have many friends irl so i want to play vrchat like a seperate life for another chance
Through my eyelids so I see ~ a strange world familiar only to me ~ both comedy and tragedy, these false memories I treasure ~ for more nightmares than fantasy lead me to adventure.
I see vrchat as a way of diversion and escapism of my current life
@ivory axle life sucks ask anyone
Well the good thing is that if you want to have a generic irl avatar you can
Furries are weird
Yeah no shit
Wolf boy with black clothes, piercings, some bright rainbow parts, with dance animation and screen shake on the beat
Wow @vocal shard
And there are many
Yeah im one
We dont want it to be like our reality. We want it to be reality. Theres a difference
^
I'd rather stay in this reality
I think most people who spend a lot of time on vrc do it because of escapism
Ye
So it's not exactly a new thing
I play it for the lols
I'd probably spend more time in vrc again if vr was more comfortable
But i used to hang around almost everday when i was in university because i had nothing to do otherwise
Personally I play to try and fix my crippling anxiety of talking to humans, and lulz
it does help with anxiety
I think one of the reasons realistic or non-anime/flat-toon avatars arnt popular is because without full control over proper lighting conditions, they tend to look a bit off. In games developers have full control over lighting and how it affects their characters but here in vrchat lighting is made by every map author differently and this can drastically affect how good looking non-flat toon avatars look like.
Other than lols, I play it because it's the easiest way to be social when you're broke and can't go to the bar
posted my reality in #vrchat-pictures
@pseudo basalt wear a beanie with your headset it helps with the pain at the base of your skull, and it acts as double sweat protection
To me virtual reality is far superior than reality because if you dont like someome you can make them dissapear, you can be what you want and go to places you wont be able to go to irl
I tried a headband, think it helps
i like my pov being challenged. I dont get hurt by words
i believe my political views would truly shock all of you
I can make someone disappear irl, it's very simple
Yeah i do too but i find situations overwhelming both irl and in game so i find it easier to teleport or go elsewhere
But it's not so much physical pain, that's fine since i changed my face cushion thing to the right size one.
I get headaches from a monitor as well after a while
Yeah, I'm working on it now
yea...it sucks how you can be BANNED trolling though.... its bullshit. things that have a block feature should not have a ban hammer unless someone is exploiting the game somehow
I need very mild glasses it seems
Um, make someone dissappear irl 
If someone is trouble for people in general, then why make everyone block them?
Completely legal, I assure you
everyone blocks them anyway....they just have to go get banned
a lot of my friends have a very ...interesting choice for avatars... but sum people find them "offensive" and "anti-semetic" and they keep getting banned
...well Im going to go hit the sack....
then im probably going to go to bed
rimshot
My boyfriend got banned for "nsfw" when he hasnt even been on vrc a lot and he emailed the mdoeration for a reason and they said he used an nsfw avatar when he hasnt even used one looool they had no proof
That was in bad taste vance
yeah...the "devs" are really good at LIMITING their game by banning and alienating their playerbase while at the same time expecting them to make all the content
@vocal shard you get used to the taste after a while
rimshot
If I could slap you I would
you can slap my wood anytime
rimshot
Let me rephrase
DEEZNUTS!
GOTEEEM
If I could kick you with spiky steel toe boots I would
dont threaten me with a good time
rimshot badabing
It would be a good time for me too, so
buy me dinner first
sadists lie me enjoy causing pain
You wouldn't deserve it
my wood's nut deserves it
seriously tho...its been nearly 10 minutes of me roasting you with my dick out... im gunna beat my meat, go yeet with my skeet skeet and go to sleep
PEACE!
That was just cringe
Begone, emojis!!
Wdym, it's just how people talk these days π π₯ ππ₯
just epic gamer speak π π π
V3rY 1337 5p33Chπππ₯π
Ugh that's the most I can do, I'm physically getting damaged now
just popping in to let everyon know i popped out....gnight
Should I check, or is immediate death a possibility resulting from viewing that part of the chat
I mean it's not that far up.

Back it up
Thats me in a nutshell
Can someone dm me a good vr set? I got β¬400 to spend
quest
Lol no
I'd hold on to that money a little while longer and maybe buy a rift s when you got a bit more
Gb??
gigabytes
On the Quest? That's the amount of storage space included, since it doesn't require your PC it's all internal
So it just kinda depends on how many games you plan on playing
vr games are small
I feel like recommending the literal worst headest to play vrchat with in the vrchat discord is not the best advice
you mean the oculus go
vrchats cache can add up to 40gb
No lol the go cant play vrchat afaik
No it cant
Oculus rift S
π€’
The Oculus Go cannot run VRChat.
The Quest has a VRChat port but it is significantly limited from the full PC version, which can be played on the Quest via the Link system, but requires a PC that can run VRChat.
Secondhand vive possibly
Vr ready pc and a cable that isnt even out yet. Only offbrand for now
never said it could run it, thats the point. imagine suggesting a go for someone wanting to play vrchat
wat
I felt so bad for this guy playing vrchat on the quest who really wanted to take pictures
Aw
Why did you even bring up the thing than? What was the point?
His fault for getting the quest
Lmfao
whY hAvE i hAd sO maNy aNgRy reActs tO my aVaTar
I said the quest is the worst way to play the game and you corrected me that I mean tho go? I am lost
Im going to get a secondhand vive so i can save up for fullbody
Good plan π
you should let it go red
And if you can get the Index controllers before the end of the year you'll get HL:A too π
Good stuff. Full body will make you cough up an extra 300 dollars for all the trackers + straps.
I hate the vive a bit
Im wondering why people buy full body
Ive tried the vive before and i hated the strap
Because im really damn jealous of people who do have it
I constantly have tracking issues. So competitive beat saber is inpossible
Andd i want to dance
Most people with full body just lay around
Yeah ik
Smh
Ill dance tho
I stand and move plenty in fullbody. Probably because I have a nice comfortable floor to stand on.
I have a 5ft5 beanbag
The people that actially use it are cool
And a carpet so
Its a nice thing to have if you can afford it. Its kind of luke those ppl that buy a new iphone every year. Because why not
I want it for a better experience
I mean, I use my trackers for other stuff too. How I was able to justify the $300
What am i gonna do with ancing with no fbt? Just dance like a dad with my hands lol
Eversince i got full body I only use the infinite walk technique to move around
Jokes on you, I dance like my dad even with trackers.
Dad wirh no hands
I dance like a wet bean with or without full body, I just use it to pose.
I like how much extra body language FBT passes through. At least until before the NetIK gimped it, although hopefully the 2018 update will help bring that back to its former glory.
i bought full body and used it for about 4 times since
and thats like a year ago
not my type of thing
Everybody wants fbt, but after you get it it's like," meh, it's cool and all, but the set up time and the extra calibration, guess I'll go hands only
"
exactly π
set up time 
Ill buy it off u
i had to recalibrate everytime cuz i was moving my stuffs
People with kinect fbt have to spend like 30 minutes calibrating every time they use it
I really want fbt
Im willing to pay legit
i have vive trackers
wait, then what setup 
I tried to buy secondhand fbt last week but the seller seemed dangerous
Yeah, what calibration? You strap trackers on, load vrchat, line your feet up and you're done.
like avatar setup?
Im oculus but i want to buy fbt seckndhand just so i dont have to worry
Unless you're one of those people who change avatars every 30 seconds.
even that is not a prob
Uhhh, you know you need a vive base station for fbt using the trackers, right?
even then, it's a quick shuffle your feet into position and click lol
Alright
Ive researched into it for a year
maybe i'll clean the dust of them and play with them any time soon
Its funny cuz people say "oooh my fbt isnt really for me" but when i offer to pay they DONT WANT TO
i always hear about people saying FBT is a hassle but for me its just plugging them in before bed/when i wake up
then sliding them on when i wanna play
I want it so bad
How long do the vive trackers usually last?
4 hours
for me, i wanna say...4-ish hours
5 hoursish
v1 trackers can go up to 7 hours, v2s a lot less due to some small internal changes.
Kind of like airpods
with those new trackstrap batteries though π€€
even if they only add 4 of the advertised 8 hours more, definitely worth it
just kind of assuming worst case scenario there lol
That's fine, I usually can't handle more than 3-4 hours in vr at a time anyway
Rokkie numbers
Well if you got a proper setup it's easy, but some peps just buy the trackers and call it a day, than struggle to find ways to mount em, if you gonna buy fbt, please get some way of strapping the trackers to you
Ductape ez
Ducttape

perfect
I freely share the designs of my DIY tracker straps that are as cheap as they are comfortable. And they're fucking cheap.
Yeah dont be like me and use crocks
Just use super glue
tracker crocs are the height of VR-fashion
They make the trackers boynce a lot tho
I just ponied up the extra for the unbound vr straps
Like its too elastic them crocks
If I didn't care about putting a bolt through them I'd use these for tracker shoes
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/383803536892231683/651366645322743828/fish.jpg

One moment my dude and I shall send you the files

If I'll play vrc again, I will
Fr tho if u dont want ur fullbody trackers ill buy em off u if u dont want to sell them DONT COMPLAIN
wow that logic
Nah like people be complaining that it takes a while to set up but people who dont even have a vr for fullbody would be willing to do anything for em
First world problems i guess
basically
Well those who want it can just buy it :^)
^
jUsT bUy iT 4HeAd
Thanks for mocking your own logic
Wat
if you want it....buy it
If you dont want it anymore sell it :^)
pretty dumb
If not dont complain
sounding kinda teenage rn
Cuz ur just putting it on urself otherwise
So if i buy a 300 addon and its shit
I cant complain about it? LUL
Yeah im 17 so what about age
But you still want to buy it off those people for cheaper because its too expensive
entitled, there's the word
For the problems it has
Because if its a perfect tool, its worth that 300 bucks or am i wrong in thinking that
"if you dont like it sell it!" is very silly
So you just want cheap shit and dont care about the complaining people
Because you feel its better in your hand then there?
i mean don't say easily mocked things then...
Then why would you ever care if someone has used or currently has something they complain about?
well normally I start by telling you you're wrong and why
So when pwople complain im like why
which is what i did
Youre calling me a teenager and entitled
Because it costs a shit ton of money for what you get.
If i buy a 1K car i know what il get
If i buy a 20K car i expect it to properly work
i only see sugar
Little bit of pepper in the corner there
speaking of pepper
Just gonna leave out that paprika, huh?
How about vinegar
if you don't have a pepper grinder and instead use pre-ground box pepper, the constitution is being amended to remove all your rights
Paprika is somewhere out there.
Not Blues Clues he isn't!
Anyone wanna add me on tinder
You mean the dog?
No, Paprika!
Oh yeah I forgot blues clues has living condiments.
Hm? What happened?
Can we talk about the time Steve jumped into a picture like it was Mario64 and started doing a shimmy and acting like Elvis? I swear he was on some heavy stuff!

Pretty sure steve's tripping through the entirety of blues clues
Then he went to get help and left us with JOE!!!
Boop
Like some kids sending Joe some Star Wars like Mail through USPS and learning how to tie their shoes! π€

@snow wadi boop. How's you?

Ewwo, just got home.

Then Steve pulls out this notebook and thinks of three things only to find out Bush did 9/11
We talking about THAT?
You should feel bad tbh. Very insensitive
We're talking about Blues Clues and that Paprika!

Ok I think I got the gist of what kind of folks joined now.
The best
I have no clue, actually.
I think this is something you should talk about in #general-media .
I thought we're talking the salt in the chat!
Not random if people are being salty over buying something for VRChat.
No seriously, keep it in #general-media please.
Oh, yeah. Now I remember.
Yeah
whats wrong with buying stuff for vrchat
But no really. Do something about these VRChat mirrors. 90 frames until I walk in front of those things.
Never had a problem until an update.
It really depends on the way the world was optimized and your hardware.
I like the mirrors that only show your avatar. Those are nice.
They are, but holy crap most worlds need an on/off button like The Pug.
isn't the pug supposed to be a puzzle map , not a chillmap ?
There's a really nice recreation of twilight town in vrchat that's got mirrors all over the place, but they're done quite well.
Hey, I'm trying to find a rayman avatar in VRChat, but I can't find it! does it actually exist?
The pug is very well optimized, it's 80% of user made avatars that aren't.
Bust my butt for a great build. Does great for a year and now this...
i kinda wish the old murder was there , the first version (not updated one)
I mean, you're always gonna run into performance problems with games that live off of user made content.
Hello?
hellno
Murder 1 was great, but I really love 3 now.
I need help.
Pug only has a few mirrors
I use to love two until more trap doors and and such was added. Now it's just crowded and not fun.
Actually it has just the one., Ground floor.
I'm surprised there's no find-that-avatar channel.
^
Murder two use to have 1 and it was perfect for what it was.
Is that a channel @rigid lagoon?
It's not, that's what I'm saying.
I need to find a rayman avatar.
Shonzos world used to have a rayman avatar at some point
Where did the avatar go then?!?!
Anyways, Jar has no plans to make any new Murder Maps. I was really hoping for an Institute map.
Jar may bring back 1, but that's not guaranteed.
Yeet, time to load up VRChat to see if it's true.
Murder got kinda boring tbh
Shonzo's jiggly heaven if you wanna check I haven't been there in ages so I can't be sure if it's still there
Not because of the updates but because I just wanna chill
You gotta find the right people to play with
No I just wanna relax
Anyways off to bed. It was fun talking about Blues Clues.
Gn8
Well, you got about 500+ worlds that are just room + mirror, so shouldn't be too hard.
The name hasn't appeared!
I prefer not being in front of a mirror all day
@violet crag Dont search the full name
Try searching Danylopez123 in social and look at his created worlds list.
@vocal shard AFAIK the Pugs mirror is automatic and isn't enabled unless you're in the corner infront of it, that's why it's positioned where it is.
Still has 6+ people in front of it
Yeah, but you're not rendering their mirrored versions unless you're also infront of the mirror.
Aka the reason I avoid joining certain friends if they are in Pug
Because they'll hang around that exact spot
@faint skiff Of course, but still it happens in many other places.
Like?
Pug only has 3 mirrors in total
2 in the toilet areas and one in the corner
Be anywhere else on that big map and you're fine
Walking down hall near bathrooms. You can catch the mirrors just a hint
Those mirrors have a short range trigger infront of them, they don't even trigger as you come in through the door, you need to move further in.
Man I'm not just talking about The Pug!
How the mirrors drop frames like a clown's carrier
You're rendering the whole world behind you + render the avatars twice
Worked fine a few months back
Still works fine for me in a lot of worlds
I found the avatar guys, I found classic and rayman 3.
Your PC most likely
I spent 2k on this build!
That doesnt mean much
What headset, what GPU, what CPU?
My HP Notebook can run VRChat fine. I don't understand why my GamingPC can't
Also this is a Unity game by a relatively small dev team and almost all the content is user generated. This isnt a console optimized AAA game
It means a lot over a BestBuy $300 HP Notebook and a Built Gaming PC!
What headset, what GPU, what CPU?
I use Oculus Touch
Oculus Touch is a controller
mixed reality, intel HD 4600 and intel celeron
You've answered one of the three questions and answered it with a headset that doesn't exist...
xD
The Rift Touch?
No that's Rift S
No offense but is it possible that you simply have no idea about stuff?
Oculus Touch is a controller
Rift Touch doesnt exist
loooool
Ffs trolls
Oculus Rift + Touch! I'm looking at my BestBuy Recite!
CV1 it is
Not sold anymore since Rift S came to market
And CPU and GPU?
No offence but is it possible that you are just stupid. No offence
You built that PC and dunno your own hardware?
and so far the support in this chat
"12 CPUs" lè wut?
i love these 12 cpu processors
Ikr
I'm getting crapped on and I'm just asking for help? Screw you guys!
And GPU?
Gameboy Advance

YASSSS
Why do we have to ask several times for anything
just let them lag e z
This doesnt take 5 mins to look up
Kinda reminder, they are helping you, it's not that they get paid for this ,
be nice to them ,
Helped? I feel laughed at.
Nah I think I'm done with this
yeah i cant really say either side is nice but thatβs expected here
Welcome to the vrchat discord
I'll let him waste someone elses time
:p
In the time you're writing all of that you could've answered all three questions
π€·ββοΈ
don't make sasha angry, he is a german , and you know what angry germans do
Do tell
π
Sasha is dude?
lol
Anyhow I gtg now
Everyone here is a dude
Yeah, I'm partly German too. Have a beer.
Yes, I'm a dude. Thx for assuming something
np sweaty β€οΈ
A German offended over an assumption? Kinda weak. This is why the Swedish laugh.
We can settle this in a game of Murder.
I will smite thee
Aww I see I missed a fun time
this server is never short of those
True
Lol


Paci brand emotes.
Yo can I have me some of that c u t e

There is enough paci for all of us so
Ill eat some rice and then ill do
π§οΈ
Season 2 of what?
paci?
I don't think they'll be able to top the appearance of that Dragon at the wedding though in season 1.
Got myself a rift s ordered. π

Another VR addict has been infected
I had been wanting a headset for awhile but I didn't really know which one to get. VRC kind of pushed me over the edge and I decided to get one during Cyber Monday.
Rift S is a good choice if you can't afford an Index. I'm still annoyed that the Cosmos didn't succeed and sit in between the price point of the two.
I was seriously tempted to get an Index and see about doing some sort of credit with Paypal but that's still a big chunk of change. Figure I can put that money saved towards a new chair, which is desperately need, or upgrading my pc if the need arises.
Also maybe spending $1300 cad isn't the best way to dip my toes into something new lol.
That's why you travel to the us and only spend 1k
*facedesk
I'm getting an index by the end of this month, mainly because my oculus rift freakin diiiieeeed \o/
Aw jeez
lol
I hope it works out for you! Would love to hear your experience with it when you get it.
I'm excited about the higher refresh rate thing. Heard the controllers aren't that great, but eh
It's $999 in the US but that's before tax.
@rigid lagoon The controllers are great, but have a VERY high failure rate.
Like me
Being able to just "do" the action with your hand is really nice.
Also you don't hold anything either, which is also nice.
π
What do you mean with failure rate? Unresponsive?
joystick drift issues
Them generally breaking too
Half my friends with index controllers had to get them repaired
One even requested a refund
Nah, they don't "break" physically unless you literally smash/rip them on something. The issues at the moment are - analogue stick drifting (typically manifests after a few months) and (although this one has apparently been fixed now) the analogue sticks not clicking properly in every direction.
So one remaining issue, but the issue here is that it doesn't appear to have been fixed, so everyone's kinda just stuck in an infinite RMA cycle until Valve change the design or fix the sticks themselves.
Oof. Hope there's an update on that soon. Won't be getting mine until the end of the month, so there's still some time.
Valve will replace them, no questions asked if anything does happen, but it's a lot of unwanted hassle.
same issue with the switch
Luckily my switch controllers appear to be the rare few that don't have drifting issues, even though I've owned mine for quite a while now.
On the switch or the knuckles?
Figured it's probably an issue they'd wanna fix before christmas, since I'm guessing there's gonna be quite a few new purchases before then.
They are? rip
It says you can still order them on steam though.
4-8 business days
Maybe they restockedππ
Prolly won't be for long
@vestal pier The new ones don't have the clicking issue, but the drifting issue typically takes a few months to materialise so there's no way to be sure yet.
God when will the base stations be restocked
is it me or am i the only one crashing? Ive heard someone said they are having the same issue
I had to preorder 3 months in advance to get into the second wave on full index kits.
Also, while the knuckles are undoubtedly superior to the Vive wands (isn't really saying much), I think I prefer my touch controllers from my old rift CV1.
the pug was full but rn the numbers has gone to 11-3 people in a lobby
the only downside to the knuckles is that gestures are more difficult to use
Right, there's a learning curve and you need to have fingers positioned properly/grip like an idiot to calibrate. You need to get the fit right and you need to set the bungie properly to not feel uncomfortable but still actually hold to your hand.
Not having custom hand poses. Not having analog fist.
But the gesture lock kinda makes up for it a little bit. Not that that will be specific to just the Index controllers forever.
Lol Touch controllers already have an analog stick button that's doing literally nothing in VRC. So they could go ahead and give it to the Touch already and then the Touch will just be the superior controller all over again.
Could anyone here help me with a problem that I have every time Iβm playing VRChat.
Iβm sure someone could if you posted your issue
@mighty nest Out of stock until after Christmas apparently
So they start a deal for half life Alyx and then immediately run out of stock until the deal runs out?
So, my problem is that Iβm receiving a lot of lag when more people show up. How do I fix this?
π π»
Half life alyx is the reason they're out of stock
@azure charm if itβs world, avatar or etc... use the the correct #Blank
It depends on your region, though. US & Canada is out of stock. Most places in the EU aren't
I should just the the vive base station
The half life alyx deal wonβt go away
I thought you had to buy index gear before the end of the year?
I thought so too
Oh it's probably 2 different deals, Alyx is always free with index and if you get it before the end of the year you get cosmetic stuff
^
Which would be hilarious considering that everyone's Knuckles will have issues by the time Half Life Alyx releases
Well if the controllers are out of stock all the way thru Christmas I'm probably just not gonna get em
Apparently I can still put in cart, just says delivery isn't guaranteed before xmas
So you may be able to buy but they will be very late
I just want to have Alyx as an add-on. Really don't care when I get it (within reason)
I'm just gonna buy it when it's out
Not gonna rush buying myself some Knuckles that'll likely have issues before the game is even out
Even though I really really want those for games like Onward or H3VR because the, in my opinion, oversized Vive Wands aren't very handy with this
I found Pavlov so much easier with the Knuckles and reloading isn't an issue now (whereas I used to mash the Vive controllers into each other)
I have that problem with grenades a lot
Tryin' to pull the pin and realizing that I have problems getting my hands that close together
I just wanted the knuckles as an upgrade but I can't even try to reserve one for God knows when the stocks replenish
snip
Mines sitting in my cart lol. Debating if I should pull the trigger or just wait a month or two
Knuckles for VRChat would be neat too, but I'm a lil worried about gesture control
So not the highest priority atm
I don't use gestures besides finger movements so it'll be an upgrade imo. Vive remotes are failing slowly as well
I like my facial expressions
Index would be my first vr experience so I have nothing to compare to ._.
But yeah, if my Vive Wands were too fail I'd go for Index
But right now I'm worried that they still have the drifting issue that will happen at anywhere from me getting it to three months after
If the stocks don't replenish before Christmas I'm just gonna not get them unless my Vive remotes completely die
Cool didn't know what was going on so I looked it up. I wonder if already owning an Index beforehand counts for a free game or if I had to have bought it within a certain window. Either way, I'll try it out.
Anyone that already has one already has Aylx
Neat. Thanks for clarifying. Something to look forward to.
Anyone know a wrold with Padoru Avatars?
Welp, I pulled the trigger
Knuckles on de way?
Has to be the whole thing, everything else is out of stock
Wooow
Ah nice

Well, I enjoy it. I say it'll be worth it not having to wait. Plus it just became cheaper for you if you were interested in Alyx.
Can't afford FBT until next month!
D:<
That's like an extra 300 or so.
Yeah I don't blame you, index alone costs a fortune.
Depends on where you live and if you wanna do DIY
You need the straps.
You don't need em, hence DIY
And a dongle adapter.
Having Alyx along with it is a nice bonus, though. Was going to buy that anyway.
Dongle adapters come with them
Dongle adapter is a 4 way splitter. It does not.
Well that's not mandatory at least
Dongles come with them.
How do I find out who made my own avatar
Is there a way to check who created the one I am using?
You want to save 2 usb slots. Dongle adapter.
@vocal shard Get someone to check you, weirdly you can't check yourself.
You can check via favorites I think
It's only like 15 to 20 usd.
Why do you want to save 2 USB slots? If anything my machine has plenty of usb slots anyways
Got three usb slots free on my PC right now. Plus two for the Oculus sensors I'm no doubt going to replace with the lighthouse stuff.
@faint skiff Yeah that is really weird
Lighthouses don't need to plug into your computer
I'll get someone to check me then
Oh really?
Lol USB slots are gold. Plus you can place the adapter in a place that'll get better signal to dongles.
Then, what do they just connect over bluetooth or something?
They don't do anything to the PC.
The connect to each other via Bluetooth, othererwise they just need power
1 USB slot for the Index, 1 for the FBT (use a hub and then use the dongle adapters that come with them to spread them out else they misbehave).
Yeah my FBT is just in random slots in my computer, 2 in the front one in the back
lol Signal. I guess as long as you don't notice.
But that's just for charging, right? You don't actually use the trackers while they're plugged in?
Dongles are what connects trackers to PC.
Ohhh
You must have them plugged in when using trackers.
Yeah. A lot of stuff you should find out ahead of time. When I say dongle adapter, I mean a compatible 4 slot USB hub you can plug the dongles all into.
It's good to know now.
I went crazy and got comfy velcro straps and 3 Samsung battery packs so I didn't really end up limited to the tracker's 4 hourish battery life. That's up to you.
Hmmmm, I was hoping they would be rechargeable
super long cable extenders and pulleys on your ceiling lol
I get just over 5 hours from mine, they charge in about an hour though so that's not too bad.
It's doable, but like why are you wearing them when you can't move. Oh wait. Typical VRC fbt users laying in the air.
To be honest, I rarely get more than 4-5 hours of time in vr without getting horribly sick, so that works out for me.
I've had my oculus rift for over a year now, it just doesn't improve for me no matter how much I use it
Typically.
Wow
Might I suggest Dramamine.
It was a miracle for me starting out in VR.
Index Refresh rate will help, I'm sure.
I've heard it does anyway.
I'm hoping it does. I've been told the refresh rate has helped people spend way more time in vr than they normally can.
Yeah there are still things that make me motion sick in VR after 2 years
Really just jetpacks when standing for me.
And only movement. Never the spinning.
Mostly just movements I don't have control over it moving too quickly
I can somewhat handle vrchat's movement because at least I know when I will or won't be moving based on my input
But holy hell Pistol Whip makes me chunder in less than an hour
Most common annoyance is when map makers up the move speed for absolutely no reason
I gotta go fast.
Gotta get sick
I think for me it's rotation in an unexpected way while moving.
Higher res, better refresh, crisper image, much more comfortable. It all adds up to making long sessions in VR easier.
I'm hoping there won't be as much screen door, too.
Sometimes the Oculus Rift feels like I'm playing with a bag over my head.
The screen door is virtually invisible on the Index.
Screen door is gone from my perspective, but some claim to see it if they try.
I've no noticeable screen door on my Index
I'm new to VRChat. I just got an Oculus Quest that's for my kids for Christmas. I'm planning on using it myself to get into VRChat. Does it work well with the Quest?
I can see it if I try, but I'm super pedantic about noticing details. It's definitely not something you'll see without looking for it though. The only real annoyance is the glare from white lights.
You're not going to see quite as much in VRC than PC players
The Quest works well enough but you should note that a lot of VRChat's content is not accessible for Quest users.
@lapis lion Arguably, no. Not unless you use it as a PCVR headset.
Understandable. So, hooking it up to a PC is best.
The adapter ships with Quest now or?
Nope
Also, aren't the system requirements for Quest link higher than for the Rift S? Or Rift?
@lapis lion Virtual Desktop works well if you want to use PCVR on it wirelessly.
@covert blade And yes, they are.
Cool. Thank you, @faint skiff
Uninformed about other headsets. I only have eyes for my Index.
Is here with old as heck Vive
I've only got experience with the first Vive and Index
I'll use my Vive till it's dead
Vive to index, that's a Jump
Lol I had my rift. Had to go back for a bit during RMA knuckle. Missed Index so
also, about the index. Do the base stations still need to be looking at each other to work?
The Quest is the first headset I've had. I haven't really had the PC for anything else. π¦
I had the money, Jamie; had to take the leap
Nice
Besides, I gave a Desktop only friend the Vive, so it's a win-win
Hope one of my local VR arcades gets an index
Ooh, that's be cool
@rigid lagoon No, the V2 base stations can be anywhere and don't need line of sight to each other.
You can also now use up to 4.
For ultimate tracking
(and unofficially, up to 16...)
Sweet. Means I won't have to put holes in my wall.
If you have a 10x10 area
I guess it's for covering multiple areas.
That's how I've tested headsets I don't have like the Vive pro. Going in there pretending I've never used VR before
Lmao Warehouse VR.
Which I've seen a video of people using it there
some guy who has a weirdly shaped room, or has his furnitures in the middle instead of agains the wall
People playing VR in a U-boat
You don't need more to track multiple headsets. They just might get in between the invisible lasers and mess with tracking.
That actually looks kind of fun
Well, see, I plan on having two in use soon
The guy not using the wrist straps makes me nervous
gasp
I used them until I realized that I'm not throwing them
I cant even play beatsaber without the wrist straps on because they always jump around and hit my hand and thats distracting
Okay, that's fair. Beat Saber definitely needs those on.
I use the wrist straps so I can just let go if I need to
I dont so I can put my controllers down if I need to
But I also dont play Beat Saber
@broken plover That's why I removed them
sasha whats wrong with you
Lol
how do you not play beatsaber
I don't play it anymore cuz my play space is too small
It's considered but somehow Fnaf VR and H3VR were more interesting than Beat Saber
And then a friend bugged me to get Onward
And they're bugging me to get Pavlov too
I got Onward because my friend was like "Oh yeah you should totally get Onward"
A bit of playing Onward later "Nah Onward not so good Pavlov better"
I went back to Beat Saber since getting Index. I feel OP now.
Me: :I
I want index too. WMR sucks
I like the Onward AI because they're terrifying at higher difficulty.
I'm a much better cube slayer with the Index. True story.
Slightly turning a corner
Two AK's unloading into my face and a grenade being tossed towards me
ok then
Ouch
The updated AI made it so much better
They don't bunch up in a single spot anymore
Instead I've seen them roam towards our spawn
Nice, Pavlov ai is such a pushover...
Also the reason why I cover the god damn rear
Just cuz you spawned there doesn't mean the AI can't go there
I like the snow map where on veteran they just instantly storm the spawn point.
So jungle was fucking RIP, then we played on the US map and literally every enemy walked through the same gap between the fences and I just shot them all while my other friend was trying to revive the third player
So by the time he revived him I already shot every enemy
Walk past a tree and it screams a gunshot at you. I'm loopy rn..
But yeah we played the jungle map with too many bots
So we didn't really get to see the enemy at all. They just rushed us and we ded before we saw them
That one time we played on the subway map ended with me getting hella lost because I was covering the rear and they just advanced without me knowing
The second time both of my allies died and the enemy AI was walking backwards into me
Me with empty weapon: PANIC INTENSIFIES
I liked when I got votekicked because the two other guys ran in and got instakilled and had to watch me take my time and actually kill things.
2 lazy 2 wait
But I've only played online with friends so far
The AI is still a bit meh, or rather their placement is.
On the ship map one of us got downed and I was non stop occupied shooting advancing enemies to clear a path to even get to him to revive him so we actually won before I even got to revive
Hey. Have you triple clicked the discord icon?
All the enemies just came to us and I was just standing behind a container peaking corners and shooting the flashlights
@crystal fossil That scared the shit out of me
Lmao
Hecc
You just did it?!
Yeah
Lmao!
Some Japanese Text to Speech thing?
That happens every time I load up discord
Lol
Unless you want it doing it every time discord starts now, you should triple click it again to disable it.
Thats a retarded way to turn it off and on
What even is that?
Ah
Holy hell that scared me too
There is none
proceeds to post memes in the avatar channel
way to go man
because I am active in the server?
but yeah stop
its against the rules
Is vrchat messing with the servers
You still don't have to capitalize every word
Lol I come back to the channel and he doesn't exist anymore.
Who Doesn't Exist?
.... uh
Spoon
I think he was spamming off topic stuff in #avatars-2-general or something
The correct answer there would've also been "Exactly. π"
That, and the language channels as well
Fun
hold up lemme replace spoon
Hmmmn. Something that confuses me is random adds. So my first stop is searching the name here. But nothing on this one.. π€
HaHa, I Am A Very Funny Person Because My Classmates Laugh At My Jokes.
Wondering if my mother made a discord or something. wth
@hollow sluice Ban
They can come in, add a bunch, talk a bit, get banned/leave.
Its actually aids typing like that jesus
So I usually search.
Well the messages were deleted
it feels the same as using normie emojis and saying "lit"
Not them lol
Or does it delete all messages of every banned person is what you're saying?
They're trying to prevent spam and memeing here.

aaaa
Paci eat your beans
Well, see, here's the problem; I was only borrowing it. ">_>
Actually a good movie
Seriously though. I think my mother tracked down my discord. halp
I mean... It being daft punk helps
Sooo basically like ecouples in front of mirrors hugging each other?
Because those rarely make a noise and its creepy
Paci can I hug you in front of a mirrror
Meanwhile I couldn't sit through electroma
Mayhaps


Couples are better off not making noises if they're in front of a mirror cuddling, tbh.
They can at least contribute to the random mirror talk
Instad of just existing silently
couples infront of mirrors be like: couple noises
Gotta find those rare cool couples.
Nico they dont make noises
Yeah that dead silence with an empty stare is usually disconcerting
Discord Call Intensifies.
So you can be around people but still talk privately.
People are strange
Thats stupid
Let me be cool and do couple talk in front of all my young single friends. Right.
Mods?
I had a neat relationship in VRC at one point though. We still acted like individuals around people. Was nice while it lasted.
I know of one couple who don't, like, isolate all of their friends the moment they got in a relationship.
Seems to be a theme in vrchat
I wanted to play but
my kinect doesnt want to work and despite having over 200 friends I have nobody to join
i was gonna get on but i have a project to take care of
@molten gale yea
speaking of which, @molten gale come over here and beat me until i get out of bed and on my PC so we can do this shit
Yeeting pillows at you
wait
hands over school bus
wait
solar if you dont get outta bed ill be kinda sad and disappointed
π
By azura by azura by azura. It's the grand champion.
I can't believe it is you, standing here next to me
hecc
My line as well
Is it really that rare for couples to stick around their friends and hold conversations?
It's kinda rare for younger people yah , irl included.
Most people I knew growing up would juts disappear as soon as they got into a relationship, and I did that too with my first major relationship
Learning experience. Gotta develop what a healthy relationship is over time.
Good friends would still reconnect after a while. First love can get pretty crazy and usually doesn't work out. Having friends to fallback on is pretty important.
@glad bolt no i think
Waddup is anyone playing rn?
Ohh oke π
Mmm, I see.
were you looking for somone to play with
Yeah haha
