vocal shard
#

I think Jamie and I are the perfect ship

peak cipher
#

ugh its still early evening for me ugh

vocal shard
#

It's almost midnight

#

For me atleast

peak cipher
#

cant sleep?

vocal shard
#

Why so many ships?

#

Cuz I needed a hip partner

peak cipher
#

the ship went and sailed away long time ago wit me

vocal shard
#

And yes, can't sleep

#

Ship*

#

O.O

peak cipher
#

herbal tea is good

#

im probably gonna spell it wrong but chamomille tea is good for skeeo

#

sleep

#

do you play lots of games atlus? if so can i ask what games? i can help play some with you some time if you want a friend to join in

#

me i drink 12-15 cups of coffee a day

vocal shard
#

Most of my games are single player, fallout, Skyrim and such

peak cipher
#

hey thats totally fine my dood i just thought if you need a friend im here 🙂

vocal shard
#

Danke

peak cipher
#

anytime

#

when are you back to work atlus?

lofty knoll
#

Yee haw

vocal shard
#

Friday

#

I work Friday and Saturday, am off through New year's

peak cipher
#

if you like reading

#

then thats a good thing to do if you cant sleep it helps me after like several cups of coffee before bed

#

not gonna lie i love coffee but sometimes i need to realize 14-15 cups of coffee isnt the greatest thing for me

compact kayak
#

how do I get a custom avatar

jade hill
#

are there tools made by people that allow you to check discord through vrchat? or is that something you'd have to make yourself in an avatar?

rigid crescent
#

No, nothing like that is possible through VRChat itself. You'd need to use an app like OVRToolkit or similar overlays

jade hill
#

ok, and using ovrtoolkit or similar tools while using vrchat isn't some tos break thing?

vocal shard
#

Not at all

rigid crescent
#

It's just an overlay for SteamVR

jade hill
#

cool, will look into it

#

ty for answers 🙂

pseudo basalt

#

skreee the quest is on backorder until feb

vocal shard
#

im bored got nothing to do so reeeee

hearty marsh
#

beep

rigid crescent
#

looks like a 2nd offense only gets you a few months das wild

faint skiff
#

I'm amazed crashing users is such a short ban, nevermind for a second offence...

rigid crescent
#

🤔 that's wild huh

covert blade
#

Damn

potent flower
#

Morning! How's everyone doing? ^^

rigid crescent
#

lol i'll dm you both something funyy

#

there it is

covert blade
#

Wow

#

But ofc he's gonna try to fight it

rigid crescent
#

Sasha you gonna be on uhhh....4 hours from now?

covert blade
#

± maybe

#

For anything specific?

rigid crescent
#

JP tea house event 🙂

covert blade
#

Ah

jade hill
#

where's a good place to find peeps as a beginner vrchat user

#

i just keep hopping around worlds that look interesting, but most of the time the people are weird

covert blade
#

Murder 2 can be a good place to find some people since that world already gives you a topic to talk about

#

Other than that, any world with people in it that speak your language is good

rigid crescent
#

I mean you're gonna find weird people everywhere, thats the kind the game attracts lol

jade hill
#

ive had more success with small people count worlds, like that christmas tree and bench world. but even then, i've only had like, 1 time where i've been able to jump in to whatever is happening

faint skiff
#

I tried the Black Cat and Pug last night and almost all the lobbies were filled almost entirely with visitors. Bit of a mental first impression if that's where you go.

covert blade
#

Or ya can just be a no-lifer on this Discord until you know a bunch of people and then join them ingame into their instances where you'll likely find more good people

#

I already forgot what starting at zero was like

jade hill
#

i plan on doing that the next time the couple friends i made get back on

#

chain reaction cool people

covert blade
#

I mean, that is literally what happened to me a few days ago

faint skiff
#

I actually just spent 99% of my time in the Pug when I was new.

rigid crescent
#

sasha and paci dont join me smh

#

my friends are too hype and scare them away

#

;-; same thing happened to jamie

covert blade
#

I think Jamie has a bit more social anxiety than me

rigid crescent
#

Must be worried about being recognized as a famous youtuber

covert blade
#

Unless your friends push the boundaries way too hard it should be just fine

faint skiff
#

The funny thing was, after Sasha's friends started joining, it actually just felt like your typical random Pug instance...

covert blade
#

I swear that guy just invaded me instance ;_;

#

Like, oh yeah lemme just populate this with a bunch of random people doing a bunch of random nonsense

vocal shard
#

I'm not a famous YouTuber. Can this meme stop 02reee

covert blade
#

Wdym that looks like you are really famous

rigid crescent
#

Jamieeeee do more youtube stuff

vocal shard
covert blade
#

But then people complain about his avatar

rigid crescent
#

no way people love that kind of shtick

#

We need more "little guy" youtube stuff for VRC and VR in general, real user experience shit

vocal shard
#

But yeah, I do actually have anxiety. I also hate being the center of attention, or anyone treating me special in any way. It just makes me feel super uncomfortable and I want to hide. I always see others as better than me

rigid crescent
#

bottom energy damn aw poor jamie

faint skiff
#

@covert blade Yeah sorry, that's why I bailed in the end, it's not really my thing.

covert blade
#

@faint skiff It's fine ^-^ I'm glad you came at all

#

Can't say that for most of the people I invited but can't say I would expect them to since they're probs busy with other things already

#

So me coming on and trying to drag them out of their current group obviously doesn't really work that well

#

@vocal shard ... wat
How?

vocal shard
#

How what?

#

anyone wanna play?

covert blade
#

How come you would think that others are better than you?

vocal shard
#

It's just how I am. Not putting myself down, but I always put others first or above me. Maybe it's hard to understand... Idk

rigid crescent
#

ye just hang out with me and my friends more they'd like you

#

even though you're quiet lol

covert blade
#

No me so I can headpat Jamie 'till my arm falls off

vocal shard
faint skiff
#

Aww headpats Jamie

snow token
#

such wholesome

vocal shard
#

anyone wanna b friends? add me if so

covert blade
#

That's not how that works Dragon

faint skiff
#

Such lovely names :/

snow wadi
#

I never put anyone above anyone else, I see everyone just as gifted as the next person.

#

Unless they deliberately try to put others under their shoes, then I don't respect the person in question.

vocal shard
#

@covert blade like for vrchat 🤦‍♂️

covert blade
#

@vocal shard Hm, no. What I mean is that if you want friends, go and actually talk to people / meet them before sending them random friend requests or asking for random friend requests

snow wadi
#

Never BEG for friends.

vocal shard
#

🤦‍♂️

#

as a kid I was super proud and saw my talents compared to my other classmates, then as a teen I had some humbling experiences and developed a stutter that I'd been fighting for years, and now I just automatically put others ahead of me

#

@covert bladei was fixing some thing so i never got the chance to start a conversation

pseudo basalt
#

And then you became a professional anime girl

covert blade
#

Oke?

vocal shard
faint skiff
#

Don't make my curl myself around you and snuggle you into submission Jamie.

rigid crescent
#

ive literally never heard you stutter jamie wtf

#

Maybe joining on me isnt the best idea too late, some of my friends might eat you alive vrcMimi

pseudo basalt
#

I've had similar issues but vrchat helped me get over them a bit

#

Actually getting good friends goes a long way in feeling equal to people

covert blade
#

Meanwhile me: Still waiting to actually see Jamie being online .-.

vocal shard
#

If you ever pay attention to how I talk. I'll talk super fast, then take pauses when I would go into a stutter. Or if you're really Keen to my body language, you might see like my hand twich while I have a few false starts when trying to say something, but I can't actually get the words out. I'm constantly fighting my speech, but I've gotten pretty good at hiding it

rigid crescent
#

Jamie's loading logo

#

make a loading gif gesture :3

vocal shard
#

Lol

still lark
#

Reminds me of a mute I know who does this sorta moving loading gesture and then they start throwing hand gestures at you

faint skiff
#

I love how on the subreddit someone's praising the new Quest users, then all the comments are negative ones that exactly mirror what my experience was instead.

covert blade
#

Link

faint skiff
#

Both the comments match my experience. Loud, mouth-breathing, asking for "my skin" in every public lobby.

covert blade
#

Oof

#

Well, I guess ya can always hang around in PC only worlds

#

Hmmm, only have 7 friends online atm and all in private

faint skiff
#

Bow chicka wow-wow

covert blade
#

Well okay Vanilla Neko is always in invite+ so I guess that doesn't count

#

When I checked the website earlier this morning there was a ton of activity

viscid talon
#

Ive never played vr chat

#

Ahhaha

covert blade
viscid talon
#

Help XD my mic wont work at all lmaoo

covert blade
#

Hmm right

snow token
worldly swan
#

I mean I play VRC mostly without a mic so...

umbral reef
#

@rigid crescent Well i kinda knew that bans where a joke
Your explanations for why they dont ban for long might be really true lmao

spring pond
#

I will say in defense of that Reddit post, I wouldn't describe annoying kids as 'toxic', so that could arguably be an improvement

#

Toxic is an entirely different brand

faint skiff
#

It kinda spiralled quickly into gangs of Ugandan knuckles...

#

Asking if they could eat us.

worldly swan
#

This was a bunch of kids?

spring pond
#

Hrm. I'm still not sure that's toxic - I really class toxic as being intentionally malicious/horribly negative. That just sounds annoying.

worldly swan
#

I think it’s kids being kids

spring pond
#

That's what I said 😂

worldly swan
#

I’m agreeing XD

covert blade
faint skiff
#

Yeah, "toxic" is probably the wrong word.

worldly swan
#

They’re probably just there for a laugh and for them that’s funny, just less so for most other people

snow token
#

Yes

spring pond
#

When is Fortnite going to go VR? 😛

worldly swan
#

Ngl that would make me play again

spring pond
#

Draw them like moths to a flame

#

I can't play that game. Too spastic. And I play a wide variety of games

worldly swan
#

I don’t play it often, but it’d definitely bring me back for a while to try it out

#

However, something like apex or anthem in vr, I would play that a ton

idle holly
#

Hi we want to join a group for free minty?

spring pond
#

Is it really free if you have to do something?

faint skiff
#

Minty?

spring pond
#

I think it's another digital currency?

faint skiff
#

Not Minty Peterson from Eastenders?

spring pond
#

Wait, maybe not. I dunno

#

I just don't feel like it's free if I have to exert myself.

snow token
#

minty?

plush nymph
#

is it normal to have to get really close to something to grab it while in VR

spring pond
#

Sometimes it seems like it

#

Other times I feel like I have telekinesis

plush nymph
#

i have trouble trying to press the buttons on the camera too lol, like the cursor just wont get onto the button

#

feel like i messed up my setup somewhere

faint skiff
#

That's a known issue, the camera is terrible

plush nymph
#

ah

faint skiff
#

You have to kinda point above the button you want

Reverse!

verbal hamlet
#

Hello humans

ripe bough
#

Hola!

verbal hamlet
#

So I am having an issue with invites in game which chat do I leave that message in?

ripe bough
#

What kind of issues? I'm sure we can figure it out.

verbal hamlet
#

They don't show up at all in game or on the website.

#

Well they sometimes do.

ripe bough
#

Has this issue been going on for a few weeks or just today?

verbal hamlet
#

For a few weeks.

ripe bough
#

Odd. Are you playing in VR or desktop client?

verbal hamlet
#

Desktop.

ripe bough
#

Silly question, but have you cleared cache and cookies recently? I would suggest clearing and logging back in. Close the game client as well and give it a shot.

verbal hamlet
#

I don't know how you clear cookies.

ripe bough
#

What kind of browser do you use?

#

Chrome, firefox?

verbal hamlet
#

Firefox

ripe bough
#

Okay, give me a moment. I gotchu

#

Let me know if that works, okay?

verbal hamlet
#

Will do

ripe bough
#

Cool, thanks!

verbal hamlet
#

Okay so I followed the steps.

ripe bough
#

Sounds good. Go ahead and log back into the vrchat website

#

Once you are logged in, open the game itself!

verbal hamlet
#

Alright

crystal pilot
#

whats good

ripe bough
#

HE'S ALIVE

crystal pilot
#

yes

ripe bough
#

Hah, sup man.

crystal pilot
#

i faked my own death lmao

ripe bough
#

Gotta get that insurance payout. I gotchu

crystal pilot
#

ofc

#

did you know the earth is flat?

ripe bough
#

I'm helpin Lost get his stuff working.

crystal pilot
#

ripe bough
#

Yeah and if I had 4 wheels I would be a truck lol

crystal pilot
#

ripe bough
#

Why you pushing your grave so early? It's like 8am where I'm at

crystal pilot
#

lool its 5pm where i am

ripe bough
#

Gross. You're runnin on a broken clock my guy

crystal pilot
#

haha i had to fly to another country so noone knows that i am still alive

ripe bough
#

@verbal hamlet How is it coming my guy?

verbal hamlet
#

I don't know

#

Don't have anyone to test if it is working or not right now.

ripe bough
#

Oh I gotchu. I would suggest going to a public world and asking someone to help you out!

#

Anyone on this discord able to help our guy Lost out real quick? I'm at work and can't help in-game.

verbal hamlet
#

So I asked a friend to get on and send me an invite to a private world and that worked.

ripe bough
#

Fantastic!

#

Did you see it appear both in-game, and firefox?

verbal hamlet
#

Join requests didn't work though.

ripe bough
#

Is the world full, where you are being invited to?

verbal hamlet
#

Just to a private world.

ripe bough
#

So just to confirm, you can see the invite in-game and in your browser, but when you attempt to join, the game won't let you?

verbal hamlet
#

No it works now

spring siren
#

Did anyone else have their tracking absolutely destroyed lately in VRC?
I have no issues in any other game, but in VRC my right hand no longer can interact with anything or menus

ripe bough
#

Yay! Glad we were able to fix it together. Well done.

#

I haven't, but i'm using certain hardware :). What does your setup look like, kitty?

spring siren
#

My setup? Like how my lighthouses are placed or what?

Cause I changed nothing about my setup, VRC got updated, and since then it hasnt worked

ripe bough
#

Gotcha! I'll be busy for a bit so I can't help at the moment! Sorry o.o

spring siren
#

It's fine, it's been like this for like a week so I figured I'd ask, cause its discouraged me from playing the game

spring pond
#

I seem to recall it being mentioned by a few people since the last update, but I haven’t noticed it (Index controllers)

#

Now that I think about it, holding items in my right hand felt especially flakey last night, but I usually select in menus with my left hand so I haven’t noticed an issue there

spring siren
#

I use my right hand for everything, it really bothered me cause I cant use my camera properly (RIP my friends weddings pictures I was supose to take for them)

broken plover
#

fun fact: You can take pictures by pressing the trigger with the camera in your hand

ripe bough
#

O.o I had no idea lol. I never use the in-game tools

#

I haven't had issues with tracking on my cv1, rift s, vive, or quest >^>

#

Kitty do you happen to have an update for your lighthouses?

#

Not sure if you are working with OG vive or index 👍

peak cipher
#

@spring siren sorry to hear about the wedding pictures... hope your christmas went well how long have you been doing photography for ?

ripe bough
#

I think it was a VRchat wedding

peak cipher
#

like a real wedding though ?

#

like irl marraige but done just like the wow wedding in game

#

thats super cool

#

celstial must be a great photgrapher

spring siren
#

Well it was a VR wedding for two who wanna get married IRL

Also I know, but I cant use the timers or pins or use any settings properly when in forced to only use my left hand @broken plover
I'm more of an artist then a photographer
Also, why would a base station update only affect VRC?

peak cipher
#

❤️ props and mad respect you did something really special for them you know

faint skiff
#

Wait, so they asked someone who doesn't actually know how to use the in-game camera, to take the pictures? Hmm...

spring siren
#

At what point did I say they didnt know me?

peak cipher
#

but she did and thats really sweet

spring siren
#

Oh

faint skiff
#

You didn't. I said "someone that doesn't know how to use the camera"

spring siren
#

I know how to use it

peak cipher
#

celestial you did something really nice for them

spring siren
#

I think everyone is missing the point that I'm trying to fix my right controller
I know how to use the camera. Iv used it for a long time. But it's hard when I'm restricted to using my off hand(which I never use in game) and I dont have access to my other options

ripe bough
#

Lol. I don't know how to fix your issue. Maybe opt into the beta client and try your luck.

peak cipher
#

yeah i dont know how to fix it im using a tower which i hope to rectify this year

faint skiff
#

Have you been using any client mods, like to be able to interact with other people's dynamic bones?

peak cipher
#

but i can research and that i can do for you celestial

#

i can do my best to help out

spring siren
#

No,I dont have stuff like that. I didnt even know you could get stuff ro interact with others bones lol

#

I'll look into it more later, I go a few things to do irl

peak cipher
#

have a good one celestial

#

il take a look into it while your gone see if i can help out ok

strange wagon
#

is someone here using an index with a gtx 970? 🤔

ripe bough
#

I would hope not lol

strange wagon
#

cause it's listed as minimum

ripe bough
#

I'm interested though. Waiting to see if someone is.

strange wagon
#

cause i have a gtx 970

peak cipher
#

im using gtx geforce 660

vocal shard
#

Maybe on 80hz mode

peak cipher
#

i core 7 at 3.40 ghz

strange wagon
#

cause my vrc performance is really good on vive

#

better than people would expect tbh

#

you're using an index with a gtx 660? 👀

peak cipher
#

well im not using vr equipment

faint skiff
#

970 GTX was the minimum recommended for a Vive back in the day so it should be OK.

peak cipher
#

so im running through my tower is that a bad thing

strange wagon
#

i'm actually running mostly max frames at 0.8 SS

peak cipher
#

i get basically zero lag or any frame drops

faint skiff
#

Yes, but you're not using VR

strange wagon
#

i wanted to know for index specifically

faint skiff
#

@strange wagon You'll have trouble on an Index.

strange wagon
#

cause index gotta run worse due to native resolution

peak cipher
#

so where would i find info on the index

faint skiff
#

... on Valve's website?

peak cipher
#

and where would i find if it effects me

ruby needle
#

970 was allready bottlenecking a CV1, so it'll even more limit a index

#

When going from the 970 to the 1070 my self it was a big improvement

strange wagon
#

well

#

the 1660 is on sale right now for 200€

#

so it's either index + controllers or headset + 1660 for me

ripe bough
#

For my second VR rig I have a 1660ti and it works just fine

strange wagon
#

cause vive wands are garbage lets be honest

#

it's quite the hard decision

peak cipher
#

so is the 1090 better then the 660 the one i own id ot know much about the differences so im honestly just wondering

ruby needle
#

1090?

strange wagon
#

people also said i would have issues when buying vr in general

#

here i am hitting 90 fps most of the time

ripe bough
#

Maybe save some money until you can get a slightly better card. If you are buying the index with a card like the 1660, i couldn't see you utilizing everything the headset has to offer

strange wagon
#

i won't wait until it's out of stock for a third time

#

lol

#

i already missed it 2 times

inner cape
#

theres a 1090?

ruby needle
#

Exactly my question cirBaka

peak cipher
#

i meant 1660*

#

sorry my bad see i didnt know the total differences

strange wagon
#

the 1660 is +20 FPS~ compared to the 970 on average

peak cipher
#

so what abotu the 660

strange wagon
#
  • 2.5GB vram aswell. which should help quite a bit
peak cipher
#

i got 16 gigs ram

ruby needle
#

the 660 is old, does well for older games and maybe low settings on modern games, but it's heck outdated.

strange wagon
#

vram, not ram

ruby needle
#

What's your current CPU?

peak cipher
#

it plays mk X just fine though

strange wagon
#

i5-6600k

ruby needle
#

and no i dont mean "i7 at 3,4Ghz" actual model

peak cipher
#

i -7 at 3.40 ghz nvidia geforece gtx 660 16 gig ram and a full 1.5 terabytes

ruby needle
#

Again

peak cipher
#

oh like the model?

ruby needle
#

i7 at 3,4Ghz says zero things (we might only take a wild guess)

strange wagon
#

😂

peak cipher
#

so where would that area be

ruby needle
#

the numbers behind the i7 part

peak cipher
#

oh ok hold on

ripe bough
#

Please hold down your WINDOWS icon on the keyboard and press R. TYPE DXDIAG

ruby needle
#

like i7** 2600k** <- this part

ripe bough
#

That will grab the info paul is looking for

peak cipher
#

is there a sinpole command to bring it up

#

like drawdia

ripe bough
#

FPaul, you got this vrcEretNice

peak cipher
#

xdrawdiax or something like that whe you press windows and r

#

hold on just looking

broken plover
#

dxdiag

peak cipher
#

thnks

#

2600 cpu

ruby needle
#

without a letter in the end? (like K or T)

peak cipher
#

just looking

#

it just says intel (r) core i7-2600CPU @ 3.40 ghz *8 cpus) ~3.4 ghz

ruby needle
#

Okay.

peak cipher
#

thats the processor it said

#

sorry im a total scrub on this sort of thing

ruby needle
#

That CPU is far from modern, but it's still bearable with average stuff.

peak cipher
#

yeah my friend said to get a new cpu this year

ruby needle
#

it'll be a heck of a bottleneck when going for VR, but it could be a entry, allthough it will be a limiting factor.

strange wagon
#

i think my cpu should be fine for now

peak cipher
#

hes gonna help me out with it

faint skiff
#

Word of caution @peak cipher , I wouldn't recommend trying to help people if you don't know what you're doing. You could easily end up doing more harm than good.

peak cipher
#

no hes good at computers

ruby needle
#

Imo, either you upgrade both the CPU and GPU, or the GPU first, cus the 660 is propably more of a bottleneck

peak cipher
#

im bad at computers hes taken some courses and that is what he said was that... sorry i confuse the both terms and i apologize for that

ripe bough
#

Yall remember the 690? Lol, thought it was epic back in the DayZ days haha.

peak cipher
#

man im dumb sometimes

#

sorry @faint skiff duly noted

ripe bough
#

I'll be getting on VRchat tomorrow, anyone here down to meet up and hangout if timezones allow? Sittin on PST

strange wagon
#

yea for a second i thought you were actually using vr with a 660

peak cipher
#

oh id be in trouble with my friend if i did that he said whatever you do

ripe bough
#

I thought the same thing.

peak cipher
#

wait till i fix it before you get vr controls hence why i dont have vr yet

strange wagon
#

cause the 970 is still better than the 1050 and 1060

#

🤔

#

i might be fine with index

ruby needle
#

then 1050 yes, then 1060, i dunno about that

#

in real world usage.

strange wagon
#

rift S has roughly the same resolution. does a duo lcd panel vs only one raise requirements?

#

because my rift S ran better than my vive

faint skiff
#

Rift S same resolution as..?

strange wagon
#

roughly

#

as the index. but it's only 1 panel

faint skiff
#

Rift S is 1280×1440x2, 1440x1600x2 so they're quite far off.

strange wagon
#

atleast it's the closest i've had 👀

#

judging by my vive performance. duo panels might be more demanding

faint skiff
#

3,686,400 vs 4,608,000. The physical panel layout shouldn't matter.

ripe bough
#

Besides, with a min spec gpu, I would advise turning the internal res down >_>. Seems pointless to purchase a headset that you will have trouble running modern games on.

#

Just my opinion and I know you want it, but still.

faint skiff
#

I'd never recommend running below 1.0 SS because it makes a big difference.

strange wagon
#

yea i know what you mean

#

but vive (imo) is absolutely terrible in visuals, comfort and controllers

#

actual rock bottom

#

i'm only using it because of FBT pretty much

Vive with the replcement face pad and DAS was ok, but yeah, the res and screen door weren't great

strange wagon
#

yea i have the stock face pad and no DAS

#

it's hell.

ripe bough
#

Tried the lens mod?

strange wagon
#

i was about to. but i was gonna get the index anyway so

#

i'm not gonna get a DAS anymore

#

also

#

the reason i bought a used vive was because everything vive was sold out

#

and it's not gonna come back

#

and well. i wanted full body

#

it's still worth it imo if you have/like full body. but the index will fix the issues i have with vive

ripe bough
#

Then go for it my guy. Should be fun.

strange wagon
#

yaa. i'm just waiting for it to be back 😦

#

the moment i saw they added HL alyx i wanted to buy one too, but when i checked they were already all gone

peak cipher
#

i have made 74 friends in vr chat now wowzers

verbal hamlet
#

@strange wagon So HTC is actually getting rid of the original Vive?

faint skiff
#

They did a while ago

verbal hamlet
#

That's dumb

#

Also why

strange wagon
#

same thing that happened with rift cv1 yea

#

because they want to sell the new stuff

faint skiff
#

Because it's nearly 4 years old and was (supposed to be) superseded by the Cosmos.

strange wagon
#

despite the vive still being their most selling product

ripe bough
#

It's their own product, no more third party. Old hardware, ect..

strange wagon
#

after the failure that is cosmos. idk how htc will recover

verbal hamlet
#

The Cosmos really isn't worth it at all.

strange wagon
#

yea

#

occlusion is way worse than the rift S/Quest

#

and oculus kind of nailed inside out tracking tbh. as far as it can go

verbal hamlet
#

What does the Cosmos actually have over the rift S and Quest.

strange wagon
#

should have better lenses

verbal hamlet
#

All I know when it is the rift S vs the Cosmos, is that the Cosmos has one more camera.

rigid crescent
#

Cosmos is like....Google Stadia of VR at this point

#

Just a joke

verbal hamlet
#

Yeah

rigid crescent
#

at least the Quest works lol

strange wagon
#

right now the rift S and even the quest are a lot better than cosmos

vocal shard
#

The cosmos had good potential on paper, but the actual headset is bad

strange wagon
#

yea

vocal shard
#

The software killed it

verbal hamlet
#

Also the rift S is many times cheaper.

rigid crescent
#

Yeah that's why I thought everyone was joking at first when they were talking down on the Cosmos

vocal shard
#

sorry my samsung gear vr phone mount is better than yalls

#

The tracking of the cosmos is worse than WMR

strange wagon
#

the only thing that really is better on cosmos is refresh rate and resolution that's it

vocal shard
#

whats the refresh rate?

strange wagon
#

90 hz

vocal shard
#

darn, 10hz more than rift s

strange wagon
#

rift S and quest are 80/72

#

yea

#

and i guess the headphones aswell

twin fractal
#

Not worth like 600 bucks lol

strange wagon
#

yep

verbal hamlet
#

The Cosmos is 700$.

strange wagon
#

there's a lot of talk about oculus actually not making profit for a while

#

that's why they sell for 400€

vocal shard
#

On the Quest

#

Rift S they can make a profit since It has less components

strange wagon
#

yee

#

i'm just not a fan of inside out tracking but i still think it's good in general

verbal hamlet
#

I actually went into my calculator and checked the price difference between the rift S and the Cosmos.

#

It's a 1.85X price difference.

strange wagon
#

if the cosmos actually had tracking on par with the rift S it would've been atleast ok

#

but it's still 800€

verbal hamlet
#

Yeah

strange wagon
#

if you have a vive already or base stations, you can get an index for the same price

vocal shard
#

Mhmm.

strange wagon
#

or a rift S that works better for half the price

rigid crescent
#

wait its 800 lol

strange wagon
#

yea actually 799€

twin fractal
#

It's a 300-ish price difference in Canadia

verbal hamlet
#

I see it at 830€ on their website.

strange wagon
#

the crazy part is the rift S is on sale since 27 days here

#

because of christmas

#

so rn at all the local markets here you can get the rift S for 399€

vocal shard
#

VR is in a werid spot right now.
Atleast before you could get a Rift or Vive and be confident that both would be great devices.

Now, there's so many options and not all are the same experience

languid beacon
#

Go with rift S if you want a good affordable headset. It’s superior to vive. If you want a full body setup in the future just save for Index. Skip vive. No reason to get a vive. Very low Low resolution.

idle nova
#

The Cosmos is overpriced crap

verbal hamlet
#

Yes

strange wagon
#

honest to god

idle nova
#

HTC looked at Rift S and Index and said "we'll price this exactly in the middle"

strange wagon
#

once you have put on a rift S. or even index

#

you never want to go back to anything below

idle nova
#

Rift S has beautiful optics

strange wagon
#

i am hating myself for going back to vive, but full body was the trade off

rigid crescent
#

worth

strange wagon
#

yea it is super crisp. and the index is even a step up from the rift S

verbal hamlet
#

If you are going to spend around 850€ on a VR headset you might as well just save another 150€ and buy an Index.

idle nova
#

I think Rift S has the best lenses I've used in any VR headset. Index has a number of other things that make it better for me.

vocal shard
#

which headset is 850€?

strange wagon
#

cosmos

vocal shard
#

my rift s was $400

strange wagon
#

800€ for me though

vocal shard
#

I agree with the Rift S lenses statement ^^

#

ugh cosmos. isnt the rift s better? lol

strange wagon
#

yes it is

verbal hamlet
#

Yes

strange wagon
#

still, the rift S was plagued with issues the first few months

idle nova
#

It is

vocal shard
#

also while im here anyone know how to disable the safety mode bind? i keep hitting it by accident. \

strange wagon
#

but eventually it all got fixed

#

cause i got a rift S on release

idle nova
#

The Cosmos on paper has improvements over Rift S, but the tracking is so bad it's actually worse

rigid crescent
#

you can't disable or rebind any of it afaik

verbal hamlet
#

I am planning on buying a VR headset next year.

strange wagon
#

did you see the half life alyx play test footage with the cosmos

vocal shard
#

I wonder if the Cosmos controllers lack the same IMU accuracy in the controllers as the rift S or even wmr. Like if the software relies mostly on the optical tracking

strange wagon
#

it does not even work on the cosmos because of how bad the tracking was

#

you couldn't aim down sight without it occluding too much

vocal shard
#

lol

strange wagon
#

though

#

rift S and quest have the same occlusion issues, just not as bad

vocal shard
#

only thing with rift S is the inability to physically change IPD. supposedly the software lets you adjust it, but it doesnt work for everyone afaik

strange wagon
#

you'll see a lot of jankyness if you aim down sight or something but the cosmos looked straight up unplayable

#

or complex beatsaber songs

idle nova
#

I still haven't tried anything like archery on my Quest (I will when I get my Link cable) but the tracking seems solid

strange wagon
#

is the index gonna come back in stock before the end of the year lol. isn't half life alyx only in the bundle for 2019 ?

#

i'm gonna miss alyx if that's the case.

vocal shard
#

Oclulus really seems to be making good improvements with the tracking. I don't know how they can have it so you can actually touch the headset and controllers be so close and still track accurately

rigid crescent
#

Chuck help me make a Quest vs PCVR video so I have something to show people every time they come in here asking if they should get the quest for VRChat

strange wagon
#

yea to be honest for inside out tracking, i was suprised how well it works

rigid crescent
#

I forgot you had one

strange wagon
#

but it still bothered me. there were some issues

rigid crescent
#

wait...can the Quest record video

idle nova
#

You can just buy Alyx if you can't get Index in time

vocal shard
#

Need to make a video that tries to explain the VR experience. Not through the lenses stuff, but like trying to explain how it looks with some simulated visuals maybe

strange wagon
#

well obviously, but you get alyx for free

idle nova
#

Yes, I can record video. It won't record mic audio though

strange wagon
#

it was out of stock so fast, i feel like they have to extend

idle nova
#

I'm down to make a video comparing Quest vs PC VRC

strange wagon
#

cause i remember when thrill posted the video and i went to steam and saw "notify me" instead of buy. rip.

idle nova
#

I made my home world and a handful of avatars cross platform

rigid crescent
#

Yeah it's not that I wanna make a slam piece or anything either, we just get SO many people in ehre thinking they'll have the same experience

twin fractal
#

You technically can record audio with a audio cable plugged

rigid crescent
#

Really all it needs is going to few of the most popular public worlds and showing my POV vs yours

idle nova
#

Oh yeah, I honestly like the Quest, but it's a mixed bag if you're mainly interested in VRC

strange wagon
#

quest for vrchat is not worth it without quest link. and even then. you'd have to ask someone that uses it

#

looking at specs etc. it does not look good

rigid crescent
#

It seems like its great for anything else though

strange wagon
#

oculus link? whatever it's called

rigid crescent
#

Quest Link I think

idle nova
#

I ordered the Link cable, waiting for it to show up

#

It shipped yesterday I think

strange wagon
#

atleast you can see pc people. but i assume the performance is gonna be ass

rigid crescent
#

Well no, you use the PC client at that point

strange wagon
#

is it like a stream?

#

to your headset

rigid crescent
#

It goes from standalone to PCVR, right?

vocal shard
#

I really wanted to love the quest... And I liked it for what it is with games made for it, but for normal PCVR, the hz, compression, and pentile screen after using RGB for over a year made me change my mind

rigid crescent
#

It's not actually streamed to your headset

idle nova
#

Performance running native is okay since you can't see any of the unoptimised avatars everyone uses

strange wagon
#

honestly the hz is what i'm most concerned about

twin fractal
#

It's the exact pcvr quality

strange wagon
#

going from 90 to 80 you won't notice pretty much

rigid crescent
#

is it not 90?

strange wagon
#

quest is 72hz

idle nova
#

It's 72Hz, which has been fine for me

strange wagon
#

that should be noticable

rigid crescent
#

my eyes

strange wagon
#

going from 90 to 72

twin fractal
#

72hz yeah. I wonder if that's moddable

strange wagon
#

i know rift S with 80 was not noticable at all

idle nova
#

My Index usually reprojects down to 72Hz in VRC for me anyways

indigo fern
strange wagon
#

what the

vocal shard
#

For me the 72hz had the same effect as a Florescent light. Where it looks fine most of the time, but in your peripheral you see a slight flicker/shimmer. Idk how, but it was distracting. Maybe it's just phycological. Idk

strange wagon
#

🤔

rigid crescent
#

Quest vs PCVR video Coming vrcSoon

idle nova
#

Oh, Quest VRC uses Foveated rendering too.

#

Can see it on the sample clips I've recorded

strange wagon
#

i always cringe when ppl play vrc on actual quest instead of quest link

verbal hamlet
#

Why is that?

strange wagon
#

because they won't be able to see anyone

twin fractal
#

Me this weekend

umbral reef
#

As everyone with a quest has a VR ready pc

strange wagon
#

well that's a difference 🤔

#

if that's the case then i don't judge

verbal hamlet
#

I am thinking of getting a Quest because I live at two places.

umbral reef
#

And you cna tell that from?

strange wagon
#

can't really tell lol

umbral reef
#

so you just cringe ait

strange wagon
#

vr ready gpus go for less than 200

rigid crescent
#

I cringe at most people I know are using a quest because they almost always turn out to be annoying children lol

twin fractal
#

Ok the idea of play Quest version with a perfectly work PC in the same room is making me cringe

strange wagon
#

@rigid crescent yea

rigid crescent
#

What about the rest of the PC? LOL

#

i do like how "VR Ready" and "VRChat Ready" are totally two different things

vocal shard
#

Them laptop players tho

umbral reef
#

It will run on air and water
it will get linked to the brain for the cpu and ram will just be a piece of paper

strange wagon
#

haha yea

twin fractal
#

Laptop boys

rigid crescent
#

we had some clown in here a days ago trying to tell us that VRChat can't require that high of specs for VR because "I mean the quest can run it"

strange wagon
#

well i use a gtx 970 and i run max fps 90% of the time

#

unless there are like 20 ppl in one place

#

in front of a mirror

#

😂

twin fractal
#

ClaCk cLaCK cLAcK "do u know de way"

verbal hamlet
#

Oh no

idle nova
#

VRChat on Quest is literally a different game

strange wagon
#

yea

verbal hamlet
#

When it comes to buying a VR headset I can't really decide if I want to get a rift S or a Quest because I live at two places.

strange wagon
#

that's an easy question to answer

#

does your pc run vr

#

if so, rift S

#

it's superior in every way

idle nova
#

My impressions of VRC on Quest is that it could be a good experience, if content was made cross platform. But for many reasons, it's not

strange wagon
#

i used rift cv1, rift S and now vive

#

and soontm index when it's back...

verbal hamlet
#

Yes my PC can do everything easily.

strange wagon
#

then definetly rift S

verbal hamlet
#

BUT as I mentioned I live at two places and I could just buy an Oculus link cable.

idle nova
#

If you're buying headset primarily for VRC and have a VR capable computer get Index if you can afford it or Rift S if you're not gonna be able able to save up the difference any time soon

strange wagon
#

well

#

that would make the quest more attractive then

idle nova
#

Nah, the problem is if you play on PC primarily you won't be able to hang with your friends when you're using just the Quest on its own

verbal hamlet
#

I don't play a lot of VRChat anyways.

idle nova
#

Rift S is as easy to setup as Quest with Link

strange wagon
#

i can't speak for the quest as ive only used rift S and cv1

twin fractal
#

If quest were the original standard and the game was built around that, then maybe.
The problem is it's a literal downgrade

strange wagon
#

yea that's my point too

#

the quest is a huge downgrade

#

for wireless vr

vocal shard
#

what about the rift s standalone

strange wagon
#

what do you mean 🤔

vocal shard
#

well i mean, not really wireless but

rigid crescent
#

lol it's funny because even if there was a massive paradigm shift and people wanted to make Quest content

vocal shard
#

theres a version of the rift s that isnt pc powered

rigid crescent
#

i can't test quest content i've created ❤️

strange wagon
#

@vocal shard what ?

rigid crescent
#

I need to go search out a 12 year old quest user to tell me what works

strange wagon
#

never heard of this version

#

are you talking about quest

twin fractal
#

Rift S is just PC version

strange wagon
#

yea

hasty wedge
#

i spent 1 hour yesterday trying to get someone to answer if they can see me or not LMAO

#

their attention span

idle nova
#

No, there isn't a standalone Rift S

vocal shard
#

huh, i assumed there was a standalone version.. my bad. maybe i confused it with oculus go

idle nova
#

That's the Quest

strange wagon
#

you confused it with quest i think

vocal shard
#

is the go not standalone?

strange wagon
#

cause that's what you meant

#

the go is only 3 DOF

rigid crescent
#

the Go is not even on the table as far as VR goes

strange wagon
#

it's garbage

idle nova
#

The Go is 3DOF crap

twin fractal
#

I would punch Oculus in the balls if they forced rift S into its own version

strange wagon
#

pretty much just to watch videos in vr and shit

idle nova
#

The Quest and Rift S have the same controllers

broken plover
#

go is standalone (but garbage like shioro said) quest is standalone (but not good for vrchat) and rift s needs a pc

idle nova
#

Otherwise nothing is the same

rigid crescent
#

I've lost count of how many hours i've spent watching movies in VR lol

#

dozens by now

#

maybe in the hundreds

strange wagon
#

you gotta ask yourself are you able to take the trade just for being wireless and no pc at times

rigid crescent
#

Shame we lost our server patron in the movie discord though, it cut the list down by a lot 💔

strange wagon
#

personally, i wouldn't. maybe as a second vr headset

#

like a... "handheld" vr

vocal shard
#

handheld vr

#

just hold the phone to your eyes lol

idle nova
#

I would recommend everyone to just not waste money on the Go

strange wagon
#

that's quests only + isn't it

#

use it anywhere without a pc and no cables

idle nova
#

If you're a baller Quest is a nice extra headset

strange wagon
#

yea

#

i can see it being nice if you have a pc tethered headset already

idle nova
#

It's mostly for people who won't ever have a gaming PC

hasty wedge
#

i play with my nintendo labo just fine no need for a pc headset

vocal shard
#

welp, unity keeps losing connection, guess im gonna try boneworks

twin fractal
#

Comments that hurt

strange wagon
#

rift S is honestly hands down the best budget vr right now. price performance is huge

vocal shard
#

i just got it on christmas, i love the rift s already

#

i just wish more games supported touch

strange wagon
#

yea the rift S is nice

#

probably my second favorite vr headset

vocal shard
#

the first being what? index?

strange wagon
#

ye

#

i haven't used it yet, but i'm pretty sure it's gonna be at the top once it's back

verbal hamlet
#

The only PCVR headset I have used is a Vive at a friends place.

strange wagon
#

the vive is awful tbh. but i still use it because of full body tracking

rigid crescent
#

My dream setup as of this moment is the Index, 2.0 lighthouses, and Vive 2.0 wands

strange wagon
#

vive does have the best tracking though hands down

#

i'm pretty impressed

verbal hamlet
#

I never had any big issues while using it.

#

Though I mostly play Beat saber.

strange wagon
#

since you used the vive now

#

if you put on the rift S it's gonna blow your mind

#

rift S controllers are superb, the comfort is a lot better and the screens are crisp

verbal hamlet
#

Can't buy a VR headset yet though because I am rather broke at this point in time.

strange wagon
#

when i went from rift cv1 to rift s it was such a big jump

verbal hamlet
#

My friend that has a Vive has offered it to me for 400$.

vocal shard
#

I went from wmr, to CV1, back to wmr, then Rift S
(With Vive and others tested from friends/arcades)

strange wagon
#

@vocal shard 👀

#

everything's suddenly crisp

#

i know that feeling

#

@verbal hamlet i bought a used vive for 350€

vocal shard
#

Wmr had the highest resolution 02lul

#

But the rift S lenses are better ^^

verbal hamlet
#

I am honestly not sure if I want to take my friend up on that offer.

strange wagon
#

don't really know anything about wmr

#

if it's working fine

#

i would take the offer probably. you can buy the index later

vocal shard
#

The cheapest wmr has 1440x1440 per eye rgb

strange wagon
#

since the base stations work with the index

vocal shard
#

The Odyssey wmr has Vive pro screens

strange wagon
#

though

#

if you don't intent to get full body tracking or the index

#

i would go rift S

verbal hamlet
#

I am still thinking about it.

strange wagon
#

you can buy the headset only for the biggest visual upgrade there is tbh

#

the controllers are really nice too.

vocal shard
#

Rift S is my favorite other than index. Yeah. The overall package is great for the price

strange wagon
#

cause that's vive's strength to me. native full body tracking

#

interferences are almost non existant with 2.0 lighthouses i've heard. so hybrid could be an option but it is not worth it at all imo.

verbal hamlet
#

What is the actual point in full body tracking?

vocal shard
#

More immersion AkkoShrug

strange wagon
#

pretty much unlock your lower half

#

move your entire body in vr, it's really fun

vocal shard
#

Not required, but it's fun. (Wish I had Vive trackers Circry)

strange wagon
#

i've tried kinect

#

before i bought the trackers. it's pretty bad ngl

verbal hamlet
#

I wouldn't use them very much because I don't play VRChat all that much.

strange wagon
#

i'd say rift S then

verbal hamlet
#

Yeah I guess so.

strange wagon
#

no basestation setup needed. it's pretty much plug and play.

#

for playing vr games in general the rift S is better in every way than stock vive

#

there are some games that are better on the vive where occlusion can be a problem. like aiming down sights of a gun or a complex beatsaber songs etc.

#

like pavlov for example

#

you're gonna have issues aiming down sights

smoky horizon
#

"don't play all that much" - if you get VR that would change quite a lot lmao

strange wagon
#

idle nova
#

Full body is a flex. Uh... I mean so you can get comfy. Erm, do you like dancing?

verbal hamlet
#

Dancing no

strange wagon
#

not really a flex. it's super immersive

smoky horizon
#

they mean "dancing"

strange wagon
#

you're basically in full control of your avatar

vocal shard
#

I actually haven't had many occlusion issues aiming with rift S since the updates. I find it tracks almost more accurately than my 3 sensor cv1

worn nova
#

Im so confused on how to play

#

I have a little arrow when I try to move

idle nova
#

Some people do a different kind of dancing

worn nova
#

And like, idk

idle nova

You don't play, you socialize

How do I talk

strange wagon

i like different kind of dancing

smoky horizon

smoky horizon

same tho

worn nova

How do I talk, how do I move in game normally with out the little arrow thing

smoky horizon
#

wait what

idle nova
#

Oh, are you brand new? You might have the teleport option on

worn nova
#

I think I do

#

How do I get it off

smoky horizon
#

holoport

#

in settings

strange wagon
#

real talk. when i wanted to get into vr, i was like "nah, i don't want full body i just want vr" a few weeks when i got vr i changed my mind and i wanted full body so badly.

idle nova
#

I forget the name of the setting, but it's in the menu near top left of Settings page

worn nova
#

vrchat settings?

rigid crescent
#

Yeah, it's called Holoport

smoky horizon
#

top corner yeee

strange wagon
#

i got full body a few weeks ago and it was worth every penny

rigid crescent
#

If you're 100% new to VR, kinda brace yourself the first few times you move while its off lol

idle nova
#

Yeah, the in game menu. Turn off Holoport, smooth turning, and personal space

smoky horizon
#

I've been thinking about getting full body ever since tbh

strange wagon
#

@rigid crescent oh man i remember

#

it feels super weird taking off vr for the first few times

#

you just look at your hands

worn nova
#

Now how do I enable my7 push to talk thing

strange wagon
#

"is this still vr?" 😂

worn nova
#

Like what button do I press

#

im so confused lmao

strange wagon
#

@smoky horizon it's so fun. i've had high expectations but it still blew me away

smoky horizon
#

oh god.... the first time I spent hours in there and my hands were like they were still holding them lmao... now it's just natural

strange wagon
#

it's almost like going from desktop to vr

idle nova
#

What headset are you using Hyper?

worn nova
#

rift s

smoky horizon
#

in the mini home

#

there's a mute button

strange wagon
#

you open your money with X was it?

smoky horizon
#

in the bottom corner

worn nova
#

yea?

strange wagon
#

and then unmute your mic on the left

idle nova
#

I think it's "B" for the overlay menu

worn nova
#

do I press it?

strange wagon
#

that's pretty much how you do mute/unmute mic

smoky horizon

yeeeee

strange wagon
#

i forgot the buttons ye

ripe bough

I'm back lol! Got so busy! Helping Hyper with settings?

strange wagon

hyper is new to vr pog

smoky horizon

do you have vive then @strange wagon

ripe bough
#

Oh cool! Welcome.

idle nova
#

Use your trigger to click on things

strange wagon
#

yea i had a rift S, went back to vive when i got full body

#

and now waiting for index

#

to replace the shitty headset and controllers

idle nova
#

Also yes, welcome Hyper!

strange wagon
#

vive wands are the worst ive ever held

ripe bough
#

Shioro, my FBT stuff will be in next week. When I get everything together, wanna mob around VRchat? Lol

strange wagon
#

pog

#

sure when i'm on

smoky horizon
#

you getting the index... damn

strange wagon
#

i'm hoping index will be back in stock around that time

ripe bough
#

Sounds good.

strange wagon
#

yea the lenses and controllers are absolutely awful on vive

#

the absolute worst, no questions

#

full body kind of makes me forget a bit how shitty it is

smoky horizon
#

that's the thing... idk whether to go fbt or just upgrade to a different headset

#

index is a little out of reach though

strange wagon
#

if you really want full body, i'd get a used vive and upgrade to a index headset later

smoky horizon
#

I got a vive

strange wagon
#

the index headset alone is 540€

smoky horizon
#

already

strange wagon
#

oh

#

even better

smoky horizon
#

don't know how much better the quest is now it has the cable for it

strange wagon
#

it's worse don't bother

especially if you have a vive already anyway

#

the index headset is gonna be a huuuuuge upgrade

#

going from the worst to absolute crisp

smoky horizon
#

aight

#

imma head out lmao

strange wagon
#

it's quite the drastic jump in visual quality

smoky horizon
#

damn that's a difference

strange wagon
#

index basically has no screendoor effect it's that crisp

opaque hawk
#

Index and quest have same resolution, but quest has lower refreshrate and oled

smoky horizon
#

god damn

#

what's the screen for the quest like looks wise

strange wagon
#

the index has a better pixel density

#

it'll look a lot better than the quest

opaque hawk
#

a little better than the vives

smoky horizon
#

a little better doesn't sound like £400 better lmao

strange wagon
#

not too mention index can get up to 144 hz and has a wider fov than quest

#

overall it towers over the quest in everything

smoky horizon
#

Yeah i'm comparing between quest and vive

#

and of course it does it's like double the price

idle nova
#

Quest screen is better than Vive, but Index is still better

strange wagon
#

yea

rough pulsar
#

Don't forget the Index's audio system is incredible

strange wagon
#

yeaaaa

#

ear porn headphones

opaque hawk
#

index mic sounds like a sm58

smoky horizon
#

Wait Shioro do you have the DAC?

idle nova
#

If you already have Vive, keep it and upgrade piecemeal

strange wagon
#

no

idle nova
#

Index headset, Knuckles, Full body in whatever order you prefer

strange wagon
#

it's sold out everywhere

smoky horizon
#

I can't find it anyway anymore and apparently it makes a big difference

strange wagon
#

it does yea

smoky horizon
#

so thinking I was gonna just get that

strange wagon
#

it's like 120€ though

smoky horizon
#

not if I get it used

strange wagon
#

i couldn't even find used ones 😦

smoky horizon
#

but it's hard to find anyone who doesn't want it

strange wagon
#

exactly haha

smoky horizon
#

exactly

strange wagon
#

most people sell it with the headset

#

and don't sell it seperate

#

already asked some

#

valve needs to hurry up

#

😦

opaque hawk
#

Patience may be a virtue but vrcSquidCat

smoky horizon
#

Yeah i've seen people who have it with it

#

gonna sneakily ask for just the DAC and see what they say

opaque hawk
#

DAC?

smoky horizon
#

deluxe audio cable

faint skiff
#

Screen wise the Index and Quest arent in the same league

opaque hawk
#

That's too confusing

smoky horizon
#

IS the index headset compatible with the wand controllers?

opaque hawk
#

Two audio related acronyms called DAC vrcSquidCat

faint skiff
#

its das, not dac

smoky horizon
#

same thing

ruby needle
#

no

glad bolt
smoky horizon
#

cable... strap

glad bolt
#

Two different things, yes

smoky horizon
#

shhhhh

glad bolt
#

ree?

smoky horizon
#

reeeee

glad bolt

Mhm

Oh, I have a question for you folks. It's regarding Audio! What are some audio solutions that you guys are using outside of each headsets first party uses? I have a wireless headset, but it's fairly old! I ask because I saw Enverex mention a DAC

faint skiff
#

DAS!

snow token
#

whats a DAC?

#

oh wait

ripe bough
#

Digital audio converter

#

So im asking what kind of cool headsets or other audio solutions are people using?

opaque hawk
#

bluetooth gaming headset or wired ones are a good start.

faint skiff
#

Before the DAS i used a deconstructed set of Koss portapros.

#

attached via magnets

rough pulsar
#

Hunt down the BMR speakers Valve used for the Index and rig up some DIY humingbirds 🤪

ripe bough
#

Damn! Never heard of Koss before. Just googled it! Good stuff.

#

Hah, if only I knew how to construct something fun like that lol. I doubt I could source a few of those.

rough pulsar
#

Yeah, sadly. Pretty sure Valve had them custom made.

ripe bough
#

Oh for sure lol.

rough pulsar
#

I remember reading something about them which did mention an actual part number though

ripe bough
#

Would be kinda neat if you could find it!

#

Little scavenger hunt.

rough pulsar
ruby needle
#

You said that wrong

#

"Tempted to pick up a hundred pairs and see what they're like as a giant array on a wall. 🤔"

#

Fixed that for you.

rough pulsar
#

If I had the money damn I would do

#

At nearly a tenner a piece it'd cost quite a bit. But considering how good BMR speakers are I bet it'd sound fantastic if done correctly.

ripe bough
#

Oh, handy! Thank you. Bookmarked that.

vocal shard
#

Nuuuuurds

#

T^T so I can’t play vr chat on the oculus go?

broken plover
#

Nope. Only on PC vr and quest (although the quest version isnt really the recommended way of playing VRChat)

round fog
#

hi guys

vocal shard
#

Hello

round fog
#

what is everyone doing this day

vocal shard
#

Working, then going home to play vrchat :^)

#

Got Rift S for Christmas, I havent this much fun playing a game and talking to complete strangers in 8 years

ruby needle
#

Welcome to hell buddy, glad to have you with us cirComfy

faint skiff
#

Just had someone with a racist name join, call everyone racial slurs then put hardcore porn on the video player...

VRC in a nutshell

night oriole
#

I just jumped into a world to make friends and got scolded by a trusted user

covert blade
#

Ranks don't mean much

night oriole
#

I wish tanks werent a thing

#

Ranks*

covert blade
#

Hmm, well Known and Trusted don't really have a practical purpose, Visitor, New User and User do have tho

round fog
#

i'm in VRChat right know

strange wagon
#

the oculus go doesn't even have 6 DOF

#

so you can't even use it for any game

#

and i wouldn't use the quest as your main vr headset for vrc at all

vocal shard
#

Hello, an egirl is seeking for a person to play vrchat with

opaque hawk
#

imho quest is pretty slick. Can play on the go, can use as a pc headset. Resolution and ipd is really good. Controllers work really well.

strange wagon
#

it's really good as a backup headset yea

#

you'd still want atleast a rift S for vrc though

covert blade
#

The lack of comfort, higher system requirements when used for PCVR and high restrictions when playing VRChat in "Quest Mode" really don't make it appealing though

strange wagon
#

that and the 72hz

covert blade
#

If you don't need mobility and have a PC that can run the Rift S, then get the Rift S

strange wagon
#

that's why i would never recommend it as your only vr

#

there is literally no reason to not get it

#

except that you will never buy a pc

covert blade
#

The Quest is only really good if you have absolutely no PC that could possibly run VR and VRChat isn't what you mainly plan on playing, but even then you have to deal with a front heavy headset

opaque hawk
#

ok boomers

strange wagon
#

yea if you don't have a pc and you want to play vrc on the quest, don't bother

covert blade
#

Pfff

#

When ya have nothing to counter the arguments brought up so you resort to a stupid meme

opaque hawk
#

That's fine with me

covert blade
strange wagon
#

yea the quest is built like the cv1 rift, same fov and build quality

#

100% of the weight is also on front

#

which makes it less comfy than even the cv1

covert blade
#

I mean, that's kinda how all headsets are except the overall weight is much less on other headsets

strange wagon
#

the halo design (index/riftS) is just the best one for comfort tbh

#

weight is well distributed on rift S though

covert blade
#

Assuming we are just counting the headset and not the PC it is plugged into vrcAevSip

strange wagon
covert blade
#

They should've come up with an external battery solution tbh

#

Like the Vive Wireless Adapter

strange wagon
#

being wireless but worse in everything else is a big trade off

#

ye. the wireless adapter is 300€ tho lol

faint skiff
#

you technically can use a powerbank

covert blade
#

That wasn't my point

#

Point was that having an external battery rather than a built in one could've helped with the weight issue

faint skiff
#

ahh, i see

covert blade
#

Yeah, I can use powerbanks, but I can't rip out the battery that's in the Quest

#

At least I assume that I can't

strange wagon
#

or maybe... copy the rift S halo design and put the bank on the back of your head

#

the halo design is the most comfy so far

covert blade
rough pulsar
#

There's a bit of a strap mod for the Quest that uses the Vive DAS and apparently it's a massive improvement.

covert blade
#

Oh

faint skiff
#

itll be because pf looks

strange wagon
#

that would be another 120€ though 👀

#

to fix a design flaw

faint skiff
#

im thinking i should have kept my das for my quest lol

covert blade
#

Probs still cheaper than building a rig that can run VR smoothly if you don't have anything

strange wagon
#

yea

covert blade
#

If that's the problem anyways

#

Luckily I already had a good rig for VR before I even decided that I wanted to use VR

strange wagon
#

yea if you had a gpu/cpu from the last 5-7 years you should be fine lol

#

i only have a gtx 970 and a i5 6600k

covert blade
#

i5-4670k / GTX 1080

strange wagon
#

yee

covert blade
#

Works really well with your average AAA game

vocal shard
#

then you remember the 1030 existed

covert blade
#

Doesn't work terribly good in VRChat or other CPU heavy games

#

@vocal shard Hugs

vocal shard
#

hugs

covert blade
#

No gif vrcSad

strange wagon
#

vrc runs really well on my rig 👀

covert blade
#

Try the Community Meetup then

strange wagon
#

except the pug. fock pug

#

too many people in one place

#

there're always 15 people in front of the mirror in this tiny corner

covert blade
#

There weren't the last time I was there

strange wagon
#

yea i'm kinda going over the top

#

but that's when i notice losing frames

covert blade
#

Though I've seen that many being there

#

Sucks when your friend is there too and you can't talk to them because it's just a never ending stream of noise

strange wagon
#

if my rig can run it. it makes me realize that you don't need a powerful pc for vr

#

my pc is 5 years old

covert blade
#

Technically yes, but it is recommended that you always maintain those 90 FPS

#

Which is ofc not possible in VRChat at all
