heya jamie how goes it
I think Jamie and I are the perfect ship
ugh its still early evening for me ugh
cant sleep?
the ship went and sailed away long time ago wit me
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
Most of my games are single player, fallout, Skyrim and such
hey thats totally fine my dood i just thought if you need a friend im here 🙂
Danke
Yee haw
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
how do I get a custom avatar
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?
No, nothing like that is possible through VRChat itself. You'd need to use an app like OVRToolkit or similar overlays
ok, and using ovrtoolkit or similar tools while using vrchat isn't some tos break thing?
Not at all
It's just an overlay for SteamVR

skreee the quest is on backorder until feb
im bored got nothing to do so reeeee

@umbral reef yo wanna see some wild shit https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/607541102773403673/660047108950196247/EMxjV-RU0AMab9E.png
looks like a 2nd offense only gets you a few months das wild
I'm amazed crashing users is such a short ban, nevermind for a second offence...
🤔 that's wild huh
Damn
Morning! How's everyone doing? ^^
Sasha you gonna be on uhhh....4 hours from now?
JP tea house event 🙂
Ah
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
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
I mean you're gonna find weird people everywhere, thats the kind the game attracts lol
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
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.
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
i plan on doing that the next time the couple friends i made get back on
chain reaction cool people
I mean, that is literally what happened to me a few days ago
I actually just spent 99% of my time in the Pug when I was new.
sasha and paci dont join me smh
my friends are too hype and scare them away
;-; same thing happened to jamie
I think Jamie has a bit more social anxiety than me
Must be worried about being recognized as a famous youtuber
Unless your friends push the boundaries way too hard it should be just fine
The funny thing was, after Sasha's friends started joining, it actually just felt like your typical random Pug instance...
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
I'm not a famous YouTuber. Can this meme stop 
Jamieeeee do more youtube stuff

But then people complain about his avatar
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
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
bottom energy damn aw poor jamie
@covert blade Yeah sorry, that's why I bailed in the end, it's not really my thing.
@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?
How come you would think that others are better than you?
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
ye just hang out with me and my friends more they'd like you
even though you're quiet lol
No me so I can headpat Jamie 'till my arm falls off

Aww headpats Jamie
such wholesome
That's not how that works Dragon
Such lovely names :/
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.
@covert blade like for vrchat 🤦♂️
@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
Never BEG for friends.
🤦♂️
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
And then you became a professional anime girl
Oke?

Don't make my curl myself around you and snuggle you into submission Jamie.
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 
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
Meanwhile me: Still waiting to actually see Jamie being online .-.
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
Lol
Reminds me of a mute I know who does this sorta moving loading gesture and then they start throwing hand gestures at you
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.
Link
Both the comments match my experience. Loud, mouth-breathing, asking for "my skin" in every public lobby.
Oof
Well, I guess ya can always hang around in PC only worlds
Hmmm, only have 7 friends online atm and all in private
Bow chicka wow-wow
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
Help XD my mic wont work at all lmaoo
Hmm right
@viscid talon go to #user-support-old if you have any problems :3
I mean I play VRC mostly without a mic so...
@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
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
It kinda spiralled quickly into gangs of Ugandan knuckles...
Asking if they could eat us.
This was a bunch of kids?
Hrm. I'm still not sure that's toxic - I really class toxic as being intentionally malicious/horribly negative. That just sounds annoying.
I think it’s kids being kids
That's what I said 😂
I’m agreeing XD

Yeah, "toxic" is probably the wrong word.
They’re probably just there for a laugh and for them that’s funny, just less so for most other people
Yes
When is Fortnite going to go VR? 😛
Ngl that would make me play again
Draw them like moths to a flame
I can't play that game. Too spastic. And I play a wide variety of games
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
Hi we want to join a group for free minty?
Is it really free if you have to do something?
Minty?
I think it's another digital currency?
Not Minty Peterson from Eastenders?
Wait, maybe not. I dunno
I just don't feel like it's free if I have to exert myself.
minty?
is it normal to have to get really close to something to grab it while in VR
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
That's a known issue, the camera is terrible
ah
You have to kinda point above the button you want

Reverse!
Hello humans
Hola!
So I am having an issue with invites in game which chat do I leave that message in?
What kind of issues? I'm sure we can figure it out.
Has this issue been going on for a few weeks or just today?
For a few weeks.
Odd. Are you playing in VR or desktop client?
Desktop.
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.
I don't know how you clear cookies.
Firefox
Okay, give me a moment. I gotchu
Go ahead and following the step inside this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache
Let me know if that works, okay?
Will do
Cool, thanks!
Okay so I followed the steps.
Sounds good. Go ahead and log back into the vrchat website
Once you are logged in, open the game itself!
Alright
whats good
HE'S ALIVE
yes
Hah, sup man.
i faked my own death lmao
Gotta get that insurance payout. I gotchu
I'm helpin Lost get his stuff working.
nice
Yeah and if I had 4 wheels I would be a truck lol
xd
Why you pushing your grave so early? It's like 8am where I'm at
lool its 5pm where i am
Gross. You're runnin on a broken clock my guy
haha i had to fly to another country so noone knows that i am still alive
@verbal hamlet How is it coming my guy?
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.
So I asked a friend to get on and send me an invite to a private world and that worked.
Join requests didn't work though.
Is the world full, where you are being invited to?
Just to a private world.
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?
No it works now
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
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?
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
Gotcha! I'll be busy for a bit so I can't help at the moment! Sorry o.o
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
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
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)
fun fact: You can take pictures by pressing the trigger with the camera in your hand
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 👍
@spring siren sorry to hear about the wedding pictures... hope your christmas went well how long have you been doing photography for ?
I think it was a VRchat wedding
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
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?
❤️ props and mad respect you did something really special for them you know
Wait, so they asked someone who doesn't actually know how to use the in-game camera, to take the pictures? Hmm...
At what point did I say they didnt know me?
but she did and thats really sweet
Oh
You didn't. I said "someone that doesn't know how to use the camera"
I know how to use it
celestial you did something really nice for them
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
Lol. I don't know how to fix your issue. Maybe opt into the beta client and try your luck.
yeah i dont know how to fix it im using a tower which i hope to rectify this year
Have you been using any client mods, like to be able to interact with other people's dynamic bones?
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
have a good one celestial
il take a look into it while your gone see if i can help out ok
is someone here using an index with a gtx 970? 🤔
I would hope not lol
cause it's listed as minimum
I'm interested though. Waiting to see if someone is.
cause i have a gtx 970
im using gtx geforce 660
Maybe on 80hz mode
i core 7 at 3.40 ghz
cause my vrc performance is really good on vive
better than people would expect tbh
you're using an index with a gtx 660? 👀
well im not using vr equipment
970 GTX was the minimum recommended for a Vive back in the day so it should be OK.
so im running through my tower is that a bad thing
i'm actually running mostly max frames at 0.8 SS
i get basically zero lag or any frame drops
Yes, but you're not using VR
i wanted to know for index specifically
@strange wagon You'll have trouble on an Index.
cause index gotta run worse due to native resolution
so where would i find info on the index
... on Valve's website?
and where would i find if it effects me
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
well
the 1660 is on sale right now for 200€
so it's either index + controllers or headset + 1660 for me
For my second VR rig I have a 1660ti and it works just fine
so is the 1090 better then the 660 the one i own id ot know much about the differences so im honestly just wondering
1090?
people also said i would have issues when buying vr in general
here i am hitting 90 fps most of the time
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
i won't wait until it's out of stock for a third time
lol
i already missed it 2 times
theres a 1090?
Exactly my question 
the 1660 is +20 FPS~ compared to the 970 on average
so what abotu the 660
- 2.5GB vram aswell. which should help quite a bit
i got 16 gigs ram
the 660 is old, does well for older games and maybe low settings on modern games, but it's heck outdated.
vram, not ram
What's your current CPU?
it plays mk X just fine though
i5-6600k
and no i dont mean "i7 at 3,4Ghz" actual model
i -7 at 3.40 ghz nvidia geforece gtx 660 16 gig ram and a full 1.5 terabytes
Again
oh like the model?
i7 at 3,4Ghz says zero things (we might only take a wild guess)
😂
so where would that area be
the numbers behind the i7 part
oh ok hold on
Please hold down your WINDOWS icon on the keyboard and press R. TYPE DXDIAG
like i7** 2600k** <- this part
That will grab the info paul is looking for
FPaul, you got this 
dxdiag
without a letter in the end? (like K or T)
Okay.
That CPU is far from modern, but it's still bearable with average stuff.
yeah my friend said to get a new cpu this year
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.
i think my cpu should be fine for now
hes gonna help me out with it
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.
no hes good at computers
Imo, either you upgrade both the CPU and GPU, or the GPU first, cus the 660 is propably more of a bottleneck
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
Yall remember the 690? Lol, thought it was epic back in the DayZ days haha.
I'll be getting on VRchat tomorrow, anyone here down to meet up and hangout if timezones allow? Sittin on PST
yea for a second i thought you were actually using vr with a 660
oh id be in trouble with my friend if i did that he said whatever you do
I thought the same thing.
wait till i fix it before you get vr controls hence why i dont have vr yet
cause the 970 is still better than the 1050 and 1060
🤔
i might be fine with index
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
Rift S same resolution as..?
Rift S is 1280×1440x2, 1440x1600x2 so they're quite far off.
atleast it's the closest i've had 👀
judging by my vive performance. duo panels might be more demanding
3,686,400 vs 4,608,000. The physical panel layout shouldn't matter.
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.
I'd never recommend running below 1.0 SS because it makes a big difference.
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
Tried the lens mod?
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
Then go for it my guy. Should be fun.
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
i have made 74 friends in vr chat now wowzers
@strange wagon So HTC is actually getting rid of the original Vive?
They did a while ago
same thing that happened with rift cv1 yea
because they want to sell the new stuff
Because it's nearly 4 years old and was (supposed to be) superseded by the Cosmos.
despite the vive still being their most selling product
It's their own product, no more third party. Old hardware, ect..
after the failure that is cosmos. idk how htc will recover
The Cosmos really isn't worth it at all.
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
What does the Cosmos actually have over the rift S and Quest.
should have better lenses
All I know when it is the rift S vs the Cosmos, is that the Cosmos has one more camera.
Yeah
at least the Quest works lol
right now the rift S and even the quest are a lot better than cosmos
The cosmos had good potential on paper, but the actual headset is bad
yea
The software killed it
Also the rift S is many times cheaper.
Yeah that's why I thought everyone was joking at first when they were talking down on the Cosmos
sorry my samsung gear vr phone mount is better than yalls
The tracking of the cosmos is worse than WMR
the only thing that really is better on cosmos is refresh rate and resolution that's it
whats the refresh rate?
90 hz
darn, 10hz more than rift s
Not worth like 600 bucks lol
yep
The Cosmos is 700$.
there's a lot of talk about oculus actually not making profit for a while
that's why they sell for 400€
yee
i'm just not a fan of inside out tracking but i still think it's good in general
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.
if the cosmos actually had tracking on par with the rift S it would've been atleast ok
but it's still 800€
Yeah
if you have a vive already or base stations, you can get an index for the same price
Mhmm.
or a rift S that works better for half the price
wait its 800 lol
yea actually 799€
It's a 300-ish price difference in Canadia
I see it at 830€ on their website.
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€
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
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.
The Cosmos is overpriced crap
Yes
honest to god
HTC looked at Rift S and Index and said "we'll price this exactly in the middle"
once you have put on a rift S. or even index
you never want to go back to anything below
Rift S has beautiful optics
i am hating myself for going back to vive, but full body was the trade off
worth
yea it is super crisp. and the index is even a step up from the rift S
If you are going to spend around 850€ on a VR headset you might as well just save another 150€ and buy an Index.
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.
which headset is 850€?
cosmos
my rift s was $400
800€ for me though
yes it is
Yes
still, the rift S was plagued with issues the first few months
It is
also while im here anyone know how to disable the safety mode bind? i keep hitting it by accident. \
The Cosmos on paper has improvements over Rift S, but the tracking is so bad it's actually worse
you can't disable or rebind any of it afaik
I am planning on buying a VR headset next year.
did you see the half life alyx play test footage with the cosmos
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
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
lol
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
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
I still haven't tried anything like archery on my Quest (I will when I get my Link cable) but the tracking seems solid
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.
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
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
yea to be honest for inside out tracking, i was suprised how well it works
I forgot you had one
but it still bothered me. there were some issues
wait...can the Quest record video
You can just buy Alyx if you can't get Index in time
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
well obviously, but you get alyx for free
Yes, I can record video. It won't record mic audio though
it was out of stock so fast, i feel like they have to extend
I'm down to make a video comparing Quest vs PC VRC
cause i remember when thrill posted the video and i went to steam and saw "notify me" instead of buy. rip.
I made my home world and a handful of avatars cross platform
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
You technically can record audio with a audio cable plugged
Really all it needs is going to few of the most popular public worlds and showing my POV vs yours
Oh yeah, I honestly like the Quest, but it's a mixed bag if you're mainly interested in VRC
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
It seems like its great for anything else though
oculus link? whatever it's called
Quest Link I think
atleast you can see pc people. but i assume the performance is gonna be ass
Well no, you use the PC client at that point
It goes from standalone to PCVR, right?
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
It's not actually streamed to your headset
Performance running native is okay since you can't see any of the unoptimised avatars everyone uses
honestly the hz is what i'm most concerned about
It's the exact pcvr quality
going from 90 to 80 you won't notice pretty much
is it not 90?
quest is 72hz
It's 72Hz, which has been fine for me
that should be noticable
my eyes
going from 90 to 72
72hz yeah. I wonder if that's moddable
i know rift S with 80 was not noticable at all
My Index usually reprojects down to 72Hz in VRC for me anyways

what the
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
🤔
Quest vs PCVR video Coming 
Oh, Quest VRC uses Foveated rendering too.
Can see it on the sample clips I've recorded
i always cringe when ppl play vrc on actual quest instead of quest link
Why is that?
because they won't be able to see anyone
Me this weekend
As everyone with a quest has a VR ready pc
I am thinking of getting a Quest because I live at two places.
And you cna tell that from?
can't really tell lol
so you just cringe ait
vr ready gpus go for less than 200
I cringe at most people I know are using a quest because they almost always turn out to be annoying children lol
Ok the idea of play Quest version with a perfectly work PC in the same room is making me cringe
@rigid crescent yea
What about the rest of the PC? LOL
i do like how "VR Ready" and "VRChat Ready" are totally two different things
Them laptop players tho
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
haha yea
Laptop boys
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"
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
😂
ClaCk cLaCK cLAcK "do u know de way"
Oh no
VRChat on Quest is literally a different game
yea
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.
that's an easy question to answer
does your pc run vr
if so, rift S
it's superior in every way
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
Yes my PC can do everything easily.
then definetly rift S
BUT as I mentioned I live at two places and I could just buy an Oculus link cable.
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
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
I don't play a lot of VRChat anyways.
Rift S is as easy to setup as Quest with Link
i can't speak for the quest as ive only used rift S and cv1
If quest were the original standard and the game was built around that, then maybe.
The problem is it's a literal downgrade
what about the rift s standalone
what do you mean 🤔
well i mean, not really wireless but
lol it's funny because even if there was a massive paradigm shift and people wanted to make Quest content
theres a version of the rift s that isnt pc powered
i can't test quest content i've created ❤️
@vocal shard what ?
I need to go search out a 12 year old quest user to tell me what works
Rift S is just PC version
yea
i spent 1 hour yesterday trying to get someone to answer if they can see me or not LMAO
their attention span
No, there isn't a standalone Rift S
huh, i assumed there was a standalone version.. my bad. maybe i confused it with oculus go
That's the Quest
you confused it with quest i think
is the go not standalone?
the Go is not even on the table as far as VR goes
it's garbage
The Go is 3DOF crap
I would punch Oculus in the balls if they forced rift S into its own version
pretty much just to watch videos in vr and shit
The Quest and Rift S have the same controllers
go is standalone (but garbage like shioro said) quest is standalone (but not good for vrchat) and rift s needs a pc
Otherwise nothing is the same
I've lost count of how many hours i've spent watching movies in VR lol
dozens by now
maybe in the hundreds
you gotta ask yourself are you able to take the trade just for being wireless and no pc at times
Shame we lost our server patron in the movie discord though, it cut the list down by a lot 💔
I would recommend everyone to just not waste money on the Go
If you're a baller Quest is a nice extra headset
It's mostly for people who won't ever have a gaming PC
i play with my nintendo labo just fine no need for a pc headset
welp, unity keeps losing connection, guess im gonna try boneworks
Comments that hurt
rift S is honestly hands down the best budget vr right now. price performance is huge
i just got it on christmas, i love the rift s already
i just wish more games supported touch
the first being what? index?
ye
i haven't used it yet, but i'm pretty sure it's gonna be at the top once it's back
The only PCVR headset I have used is a Vive at a friends place.
the vive is awful tbh. but i still use it because of full body tracking
My dream setup as of this moment is the Index, 2.0 lighthouses, and Vive 2.0 wands
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
Can't buy a VR headset yet though because I am rather broke at this point in time.
when i went from rift cv1 to rift s it was such a big jump
My friend that has a Vive has offered it to me for 400$.
I went from wmr, to CV1, back to wmr, then Rift S
(With Vive and others tested from friends/arcades)
@vocal shard 👀
everything's suddenly crisp
i know that feeling
@verbal hamlet i bought a used vive for 350€
I am honestly not sure if I want to take my friend up on that offer.
don't really know anything about wmr
if it's working fine
i would take the offer probably. you can buy the index later
The cheapest wmr has 1440x1440 per eye rgb
since the base stations work with the index
The Odyssey wmr has Vive pro screens
though
if you don't intent to get full body tracking or the index
i would go rift S
I am still thinking about it.
you can buy the headset only for the biggest visual upgrade there is tbh
the controllers are really nice too.
Rift S is my favorite other than index. Yeah. The overall package is great for the price
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.
What is the actual point in full body tracking?
More immersion 
Not required, but it's fun. (Wish I had Vive trackers
)
I wouldn't use them very much because I don't play VRChat all that much.
i'd say rift S then
Yeah I guess so.
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
"don't play all that much" - if you get VR that would change quite a lot lmao
^
Full body is a flex. Uh... I mean so you can get comfy. Erm, do you like dancing?
Dancing no
not really a flex. it's super immersive
they mean "dancing"
you're basically in full control of your avatar
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
Some people do a different kind of dancing
And like, idk
You don't play, you socialize
How do I talk
i like different kind of dancing
lmao
👀
same tho
How do I talk, how do I move in game normally with out the little arrow thing
wait what
Oh, are you brand new? You might have the teleport option on
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.
I forget the name of the setting, but it's in the menu near top left of Settings page
vrchat settings?
Yeah, it's called Holoport
top corner yeee
i got full body a few weeks ago and it was worth every penny
If you're 100% new to VR, kinda brace yourself the first few times you move while its off lol
Yeah, the in game menu. Turn off Holoport, smooth turning, and personal space
I've been thinking about getting full body ever since tbh
@rigid crescent oh man i remember
it feels super weird taking off vr for the first few times
you just look at your hands
Now how do I enable my7 push to talk thing
"is this still vr?" 😂
@smoky horizon it's so fun. i've had high expectations but it still blew me away
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
it's almost like going from desktop to vr
What headset are you using Hyper?
rift s
you open your money with X was it?
in the bottom corner
yea?
and then unmute your mic on the left
I think it's "B" for the overlay menu
do I press it?
that's pretty much how you do mute/unmute mic
yeeeee
i forgot the buttons ye
I'm back lol! Got so busy! Helping Hyper with settings?
hyper is new to vr pog
do you have vive then @strange wagon
Oh cool! Welcome.
Use your trigger to click on things
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
Also yes, welcome Hyper!
vive wands are the worst ive ever held
Shioro, my FBT stuff will be in next week. When I get everything together, wanna mob around VRchat? Lol
you getting the index... damn
i'm hoping index will be back in stock around that time
Sounds good.
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
that's the thing... idk whether to go fbt or just upgrade to a different headset
index is a little out of reach though
if you really want full body, i'd get a used vive and upgrade to a index headset later
I got a vive
the index headset alone is 540€
already
don't know how much better the quest is now it has the cable for it
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 for a loose comparison:
https://i.imgur.com/9OC3kYD.png
https://i.imgur.com/3hmM1nQ.png
it's quite the drastic jump in visual quality
damn that's a difference
index basically has no screendoor effect it's that crisp
Index and quest have same resolution, but quest has lower refreshrate and oled
a little better than the vives
a little better doesn't sound like £400 better lmao
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
Yeah i'm comparing between quest and vive
and of course it does it's like double the price
Quest screen is better than Vive, but Index is still better
yea
Don't forget the Index's audio system is incredible
index mic sounds like a sm58
Wait Shioro do you have the DAC?
If you already have Vive, keep it and upgrade piecemeal
no
Index headset, Knuckles, Full body in whatever order you prefer
it's sold out everywhere
I can't find it anyway anymore and apparently it makes a big difference
it does yea
so thinking I was gonna just get that
it's like 120€ though
not if I get it used
i couldn't even find used ones 😦
but it's hard to find anyone who doesn't want it
exactly haha
exactly
most people sell it with the headset
and don't sell it seperate
already asked some
valve needs to hurry up
😦
Patience may be a virtue but 
Yeah i've seen people who have it with it
gonna sneakily ask for just the DAC and see what they say
DAC?
deluxe audio cable
Screen wise the Index and Quest arent in the same league
That's too confusing
IS the index headset compatible with the wand controllers?
Two audio related acronyms called DAC 
its das, not dac
same thing
no

cable... strap
Two different things, yes
shhhhh
ree?
reeeee
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
DAS!
Digital audio converter
So im asking what kind of cool headsets or other audio solutions are people using?
bluetooth gaming headset or wired ones are a good start.
Hunt down the BMR speakers Valve used for the Index and rig up some DIY humingbirds 🤪
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.
Yeah, sadly. Pretty sure Valve had them custom made.
Oh for sure lol.
I remember reading something about them which did mention an actual part number though
HMMMMM
I just found a BMR speaker made by Tectonic, same company that did the Index ones.
Might not be exactly the same, but...
https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/speaker-drivers/1345563/
Tempted to pick a pair up and see what they're like. 🤔
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.

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.
I think youre talking about this https://nyanpa.su/vrchatlog/
Oh, handy! Thank you. Bookmarked that.
Nope. Only on PC vr and quest (although the quest version isnt really the recommended way of playing VRChat)
hi guys
Hello
what is everyone doing this day
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
Welcome to hell buddy, glad to have you with us 
Just had someone with a racist name join, call everyone racial slurs then put hardcore porn on the video player...
VRC in a nutshell
I just jumped into a world to make friends and got scolded by a trusted user
Ranks don't mean much
Hmm, well Known and Trusted don't really have a practical purpose, Visitor, New User and User do have tho
i'm in VRChat right know
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
Hello, an egirl is seeking for a person to play vrchat with
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.
it's really good as a backup headset yea
you'd still want atleast a rift S for vrc though
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
that and the 72hz
If you don't need mobility and have a PC that can run the Rift S, then get the Rift S
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
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
ok boomers
yea if you don't have a pc and you want to play vrc on the quest, don't bother
Pfff
When ya have nothing to counter the arguments brought up so you resort to a stupid meme
That's fine with me

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
I mean, that's kinda how all headsets are except the overall weight is much less on other headsets
the halo design (index/riftS) is just the best one for comfort tbh
weight is well distributed on rift S though
Assuming we are just counting the headset and not the PC it is plugged into 

They should've come up with an external battery solution tbh
Like the Vive Wireless Adapter
being wireless but worse in everything else is a big trade off
ye. the wireless adapter is 300€ tho lol
you technically can use a powerbank
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
ahh, i see
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
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

There's a bit of a strap mod for the Quest that uses the Vive DAS and apparently it's a massive improvement.
Oh
itll be because pf looks
im thinking i should have kept my das for my quest lol
Probs still cheaper than building a rig that can run VR smoothly if you don't have anything
yea
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
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
i5-4670k / GTX 1080
yee
Works really well with your average AAA game
then you remember the 1030 existed
hugs
No gif 
vrc runs really well on my rig 👀
Try the Community Meetup then
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
There weren't the last time I was there
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
