we still have the script and discord open cuz like im not throwing away all of that work lol
ight
futari wa pretty cure max heart
Oh good
The Original and Fresh are the only acceptable answers
Suite was a letdown
I was hype af too when they showed the previewa but it was weak
precure is too long for me to watch all of it
Only Fresh matters. It's the best one.
It's like the Stardust Crusaders of Precure
thanks ofr letting me know, gonna watch it after i finish jojo then ig
Best animation, best character, and one can fuck shit up without her transformation
thats what i loved about pretty cure
"aw yeah magical girl time, lets see those weapons"
magical girls literally fucking brawls it out with the bad guys
"β€οΈ u β€οΈ"
It gets kinda deep in that series compared to the others.
They had to shut down the online official chats and forums back in the day because a bunch of otaku took it over lol
Lol
Currently getting Friend Request spammed. It loads up my inbox and more come in every second after I clear it. What do I do? It's all fake accounts with the same 2 icons.
Could probably write a quick simple JS script to run on the website to remove them all but I don't know if I'd be allowed to share it
I've been waiting to get friend spammed so I could write one and test it but I haven't run into the edge lords yet
it'd also remove real ones that came in though... right?
I'd probably just write it to remove all current friend requests yah since I am lazy
But could write a script to check the name or picture for patterns first
I been sitting alone in a lobby for an hour or two waiting to see if any of my friends would join, nope
maybe you should join them
I could but Iβm enjoying the silence, but if someone were to join me then so be it
Maybe they know your enjoy your silence and don't want to bug you
ok so i finally reinstalled Unity 2017.4.28f1 for like the 3rd time, and same problem is happening. Unity will open, but the icon wont show in the taskbar and the window isn't visible, though when i open Task Manager, it shows that Unity is running.
also for some odd reason, if i play a Unity game, i can play it perfectly, but the Unity Editor window just wont show up and its making me mad. because i want to be able to upload avatars to vrchat
I mean, sure the silence is nice, but what kind of lunatic sits in silence without a reason?
Mm, my logic is faulty because I would sit in silence for no reason
What am I even saying at this point
I don't mind the silence sometimes. Some worlds have such relaxing atmosphere and music I'll sit in them for an hour or two alone and just relax, sometimes nap.
https://i.gyazo.com/c2cc823994719775fd5373035d1c49f7.jpg Anyone know the world where I can find this avatar?
Search onesie I think
Nerd
@elder depot this one maybe? wrld_f38c7cd0-188f-4d48-828f-faecaaae488e
and avtr_d26f59e5-fa7c-4a0d-9f48-5eae5ad9886c is probably that exact avatar
Thank you
gyuys
Crashers so rife that people just brag about them in full public rooms, no consequence
Why would there be consequence?
Whether there's one or a thousand
There could be next to no crashers and talking about it in public wouldn't have consequence
while in the crasher avatar...
ok?
The amount of crashers has nothing to do with it, the lack of active moderation does.
Thats what im referring to. The lack of moderation leads to an obscene level of boldness.
yeah I'm still confused as to why they're against active moderation
There's really no downside if done correctly
But it cant be done perfectly π
That makes it useless mic
There are small risks that can be minimized but that makes it all bad
Limit to public worlds, require output logs to show you didn't join on someone, and just have them run shadowplay or some other equivalemnt
Yes but what if! π
People will chill on the shit once others start actually getting banned
Really the biggest hurdle imo for active moderation is keeping personal issues out of it, and restricting it to public worlds pretty much solves that
If big streamers with their Red Phone discord can have someone temp-banned in a matter of minutes (they were unbanned next day/later that day btw) then clearly they place a little too much trust in their moderators as is lol
Exactly, the fear of getting banned would be enough to stop most.
Yea, but what if they mess up π
Cant have the whole system or anything from that because of tha ttiny risk mic
One small tiny flaw makes the whole idea bad
Dont you realize such simple things
This is how i imagine it works lol
Big streamer hits the "yikes" button and devs pick up like https://puu.sh/F1YSs/2d58e4d971.png
Man, im triggering myself with the shit im saying
It's REAL bad when you've got your partnered streamers on record talking about how they've got a special discord for faster moderation
both on and off stream
Like obviously it exists but come on
and the fact the person was banned THEN unbanned immediately pretty much shows they just take their word for it lol
How recent was that?
few weeks, not a month even
Hmmm
Well im fairly sure chatmods dont have that special chat anymore so
No it's the "pwease im stweamer hewp me" discord
But you know my stance on the faster moderation list.
Pretty sure i was one of if not the first person to argue for its favor
Even if it would just be more 'well known' people
Rawr
With proper (working) moderation tools for Instance Owners, you really only need to moderate publics
actively that is
working as in they don't have anti-kick
Well even if the first isnt a thing the second would help solve problems within the first in the end also
As the 'power users' would also know how to report normally what makes doing 6head moves there also more risky
That'd lead to active moderation though lol
right now it's just "me big streamer pls ban" and with a wave of the hand someone is banned
minutes later
even if they didn't do anything, which was proven because they were unbanned the next day
feels good to add jigglebones to my model
Feels bad you mean?
WeirdChamp
they're 500% necessary in my ears and hair, but 50 transforms is a lot better than most lol
but like, jiggly
guys so im on wmr (dont roast plez) but i can only teleport and i can see myself runaround in 3rd person if you know what i mean, but i want to switch to first person walking instead of just teleporting, cant find the setting to change in game any ideas?
turn off holoport
@desert stratus funny you mentioned dubbing. Currently right now me and a bunch of friends are going to do an abridged of Dr. Stone
w're running into problems right now though with toho claiming our video though ;;
nice / rip
HEWWO!
hi
Anyone know where they got these hand avatars? https://youtu.be/ZAVM944EYYk
i need them
if you somehow know where these avatars are, please tag me with your answer
Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I'm new to using discord. I'm having trouble with Murder 2 and 3. Whenever I stand on a circle and get assigned my roll, it doesn't teleport me to the game area. It leaves me in the lobby. I've asked people that get left behind too and no one knows. Does anyone have a clue?
try a new instance
I've been trying to get this fixed all week. I keep jumping around to different instances with no luck.
hiiiiiiiiiiiiii
anyone know a world where i can find a vegeta avatar
@red forum yeah, send me a DM tomorrow at 7pm EST
I forgot the name and I ainβt going on my PC now to check
But I have it favourited
alright will do man
Has anyone else been getting to the error world recently? I've been getting sent there since this morning and I've tried verifying my files to make sure there was no problems - but it's still happening.
sigh so apparently two friends of mine were just crashed in a world. Apparently they had their avatars force swapped or something and can't boot the game back up at all due to immediately crashing, and now somehow both of their headsets have stopped working. Are crashers seriously able to destroy your VR hardware now???
You only come here to complain do you?
Define stopped working
lol
lol no one has ever been able to destroy your vr hardware
i mean i guess if they broke into your home and smashed it they could
Worst that can happen is steamvr/oculus app crashing
Or wmr portal blackscreening you after a lag
Thats the same as the app crashing nico
You blackscreen cuz the app died on you
Due to the data overload I assume
But when wmr blackscreens I can still play the game im just βblindβ because of the blackscreen
by "stopped working", I mean would not even turn on or work at all. One of them did manage to get theirs working eventually though, but they're still stuck in a crasher avatar they can't get out of in VRC, so keep crashing before they can load in.
Didnt that get fixed a few weeks ago?
Apparently not.
Because people are still able to do that
And yes, they were able to verify their avatars were changed
One of them looked at their avatar image on the site, and it was some anime shit
Tell then to hold Ctrl + /
Except if that changed, it will switch them to a default robot avatar
And I remember seeing the other person with that profile pic in my friends' list before they crashed
can i change my avatar without being in the game because i was forced into an avatar that crashes my game when i load it
Launch in desktop mode and hold CTRL and \
How the hell were you forced into an avatar?
It was for a time
This is probably a new one that just got discovered
Let's see how long it takes them to fix it
Contact the support I guess
#vrchat-support
He did contact them, has to wait on a response
its fine i have a quest
Nothing new here tbh
The fact anyone is even physically able to create a client that can, server side, change people's avatars without their consent is ridiculous
Idk how crasher avatars are even able to get past VRC's systems
Because they use basic unity function to crash people
Most common being particle spam
i love VRC to death but uh, damn do the people make it a cesspool
same issue here m8s
Doddering young folk and e-boys
jesus?
Playing VRchat for 6 days
Right
left
its so weird how when youre a smaller chracacter in vr chat, everything just looks GIANT
becouse yeah obviously they cant do much except make everything else physically bigger
but its still weird
Whatβs that map where like youβre a pirate and go on a adventure and escape and fight people and you can make your ship and stuff
It's also weird that the IPD is based on the distance Between the wrist and head
@vocal shard i finished boneworks π¦
And how was your experience (also probably best to mention this in #general-media since it isn't VRC related) >_>/
i didn't
I've yet to finish it myself, I have so much on my plate.
Have you tried clearing your cache?
what does clearing cache do?
Clears your cache
Quite the contrary actually
The liad times are longer
But you can load new things and if there are any download errors you can fix them
How can you send msg to somebody ingame? Got a icon of a blue letter from somebody but cant answer
The only way i know of that being possible is through a modified client, which is against tos
No the icon was in the corner like when somebody adds you on the flist
Thats an invite or a request lol
I was going for the send a message to someone ingame question you had asked
Hes thinking someone sent him a msg
Yea
Ita just the invite icon
Icon was a blue letter i think
@light niche I was forced into that stupid Megumin crasher avatar last week and the CTRL + \ fix worked for me, you just have to be persistent. :/
tbh there should honestly just be a way to change avatars for cases like this without even having to go ingame
i.e. the site
Surprised that isnt a thing tbh
what the fuck bot. I'm not spamming ffs
gotta love when you type something and it immediately gets deleted without you even getting the chance to copy what you said
14 . in a row 
God I fucking hate bots lol
Especially when they delete your shit for literally no discernible reason
For having a normal ass conversation
but what even counts as """spam"""" if what I said got deleted, it's not fuckin spam lol
Again
I literally just said a sentence
14 times . in a row
?
Your message
uh... I did not post my message 14 times in a row
even if i did, if its in the middle of a coherent message it's not fuckin spam lol
And the bot red that as a symbol spam.
thats why I hate bots x'D
@oblique haven through the api
Bot's are simple alhorithms. Β―_(γ)_/Β―
β¬βββ¬ γ( γ-γγ) There you go
anyway can you copy/paste my message since apparently you can see it, without the dots lol
BOT
bc I can't even remember what I said now
β¬βββ¬ γ( γ-γγ) There you go
@vocal shard what does that mean for a nooblet like me?
i take it all back
i dont like this bot at all
β¬ββ¬ γ( γ-γγ)
(β―Β°β‘Β°οΌβ―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
β¬βββ¬ γ( γ-γγ) There you go
...
It means that you can use the API to use some functions
https://github.com/VRChatAPI/vrchatapi.github.io
Im surprised there also isnt a way to control when you can go through portals (i.e. a confirmation button asking you if youd like to go through the portal)
One of the things that you can do is download a vrca package that you uploaded
Your own package to be more precise
You can confirm if you want to load into the world with that "go" thing.
I guess asking if you want to enter the portal would also be a good way to prevent you from beeing ripped out of place, tho in game of portal spam's it would mean you'd be spammed by that dialogue instead
so eh.
You can send a message to anyone in vrchat through the API
Some clients allows you to send a message directly in game too
clients >.>
Also some clients have the option to accept or decline going into a portal but π€«
Clients bad
I really hope the 2018 update hit's soon 
idk your gender

hindsight is 2020
@vocal shard thank you very much π
π³
@vocal shard π£

Mah man or girl, the
is from the API ?
ye
@ruby needle Still a load of major outstanding issues and absolute radio silence for like a month now from the team. I don't think it's near.
well a new beta build came on the 14th
so something happened within that time
(and some of the silence was holidays)
vrchat is stopping confirmed , big sadf
nice
@vale wave What ? you say it's the end of vrchat ? πΆ
it was sarcasm no worry's
it will die as soon facebook buys it
Damn, I'll miss vrchat
Facebook will make their own vrchat with cosmetic microtransactions for your avatar that looks just like you except cartoony and ugly
Why would I want to look like me
nah, it wouldnt suprise me if they eventually ditch that and buy something like vrchat
Facebook Horizon will never equal the fun of VRCHAT !
Rec room ftw
Because if you look like yourself and your friends look like themselves you can get more personal and want to customize your avatar to be what you're too lazy to be in real life
Or something along those lines
That's probably a good option for the mass market
People who don't live on the internet probably don't want to be anime
im an anime boi
TBH the only realistic competitor to vrc is recroom
But a big part of that is because they focus on a lot of non vr platforms like mobile
Well the whole creator thing is what sets vrc apart
neos 
Rec room does well with it's recreations
Than make a new game. Dont buy out vrchats audience. None of us will like it lol
Noes does creation also neato
But it's really non rewarding for normal users
Power users will enjoy it but that's it
Well there's other smaller ones coming up like chillout vr and lavender
There's one on unreal as well
Interesting
But they're all super early so not really worth looking at just yet
I'm an ALPHA user
stop being beta
I just read about a slight oversight on the Quest version of VR-Chat that a few people are suffering right now.
Someone decided to upload a gigantic red robot avatar, big enough that you can't use your menus and switch out of it.
There's a bunch of Quest users cloning it, and ending up stuck, unable to switch out.
That's pretty hilarious
People are of course telling them about the reset keybind. Of course, that's not exactly an option for them.
actually
i do wonder if it would be possible with a keyboard?
since you can indeed use keyboard on android
(not that it is practical and that people have the adapters for it)
Like a virtual one? Or just pluging it into the Quest?
Nono, a real one.
I'd love to see if that is actually technically working if someone has it.
Couldn't possibly say myself. Would be interesting to know though.
Yeah, i'd love to find out if it does work technically. 
I belive the only real option the quest users have is login on PC and change to the default avatar there.
^
The only other solution I can think of is installing the game on some PC temporarily, and using that to reset.
I think that's what Paulie meant.
thats basically the same, yeah
I just wrote it at the same time and was a bit slow to read. xD
any dumb old pc should do to launch desktop. (as long as it's not anicent)
Intel Pentium Half xD
xd
I really hope we get a reset button for Avatar, and Home world on the website at some point...
I guess one alternative might be to try and delete the VRC cache from the Quest, if it's possible to access that manually outside the game?
That would be funny if they couldn't change it and it just spread like a virus through all quest users
Oh there goes a quest user
cache shouldn't help there.
A website reset function would also sort of solve it yeah. Needs to be something that's not reliant on the scale sensitive in-game menu.
It's highly needed, in general you could end up stuck accidentally when testing your own avatar and such
same for homeworld that might for what ever reason not work anymore
Could that be easily done with api by anyone?
It's a simple thing to include, yet a powerfull fail save.
It really should exist on the website.
So the link included in there would let you input a public avatar ID and switch to it from outside the game?
Hye, Whats up lads
You would have to know how to authenticate and how to call the link since it's a put method. It should be trivial to add to vrc website as a button.
Yep
@ruby burrow Serves them right. Quest users (although I noticed it's kids in general) are obsessed with giant avatars. The Black Cat almost always has at least a few of them blocking everyone's vision.
But in terms of VRC competitors: RecRoom has been abandoned by most adults because all lobbies are just full of children now, Lavender has overwhelmingly negative reviews because it's basically just a paid for, but super buggy version of VRC with no content. The only real competitor at this point (although it's still rather early days) is Neos.
VRChat is starting to turn into RecRoom when it comes to public lobbies tbh
It's hard to find anyone over 18 anymore for me
Children and Teenagers rule the public worlds that I seem to visit
I won't lie, I am starting to feel alienated and socialize less because everyone is half my age
Yup, public lobbies are terrible now. It's been weird watching the average age plummet over the space of just a few months.
in every public world i find people only over 18
What timezone and what worlds are you going to Rin
EST and the huge public ones usually
o.O
I am an hour ahead of EST and mostly play in the evening/night and it's just all children and teenagers for me
play while they're at school then
Pug, Murder, Blackcat. Anything with over 100 users I have bad luck with
I work when they're at school lol
Yah lucky you >_<
Nah i dont have time to play the game much atm LOL
"Play while they're at school"... yeah, I'll just leave my job so I can play earlier in the day...
i don't play much anymore so i don't have to bother
And it really doesn't help most of the teenagers are just cringy and erp obsessed
Same rin
True af yin
I've become what I despised most. I've become Mic, spending 99% of my time in friends+ worlds, lol.
I wouldn't mind hanging out with chill teens but most of them are so fucking edgy and cringy
:(
i still hop publics but i just usually sit somewhere till another purple or something comes up and says hi
most of my friends who wrre into vrc are like "its boring now fuck that i hate it"
I used to spend all my time in publics, the age there was normally 16-25 with a rare few kids. Now it's 8-15 with a rare few older than that. Takes a good few hops to try and something that isn't just kids.
then slowly a group of people assimilates
i ask them what they do anymore and its always erp. always
Hang out with me then. I just sit in the corner
@pure hemlock I'm edgy for you
Funny how I was thinking about trying to make an effort to visit public a bit more, specifically Quest worlds even. xD
I've lived in Friends+ for the last year or so.

ouh la la makes cringy moaning noises to attract suitable mate
i sit in publics and just work on something lmao
yin what the fuCK
solar hihi
This is how we socialize in VRChat now. The teenagers have taught me this.
the mating call is more like "ay yuhh yuh wanna go to a privit wurld"
I have met a few cool and chill teenagers recently though tbh but they're so very rare and I feel like it's just a matter of time before they're corrupted
solar wanan go to a private world π³
guys rins going to fucking jail
I slightly miss my early days, just roaming public worlds and never knowing what I'll see, but I've simply got too many people I've already met that I don't have time to hang out with, to have any motivation to meet new people.
what
π
In a way I wish I had vr when I was younger but at the same time, if I had VRChat at 15 I'd be one of those cringy teenagers
That sound like something E_bag would (ironically) say, rin
When I was 15 I loved just teasing a group of boys and having them chase me online lol
you sound like my first ex lol
if i actually liked vrc at 15* id be like. a person
Ironically one of the things I fear most about public worlds isn't crashers, or avatar theft, nor spam or whatever, but just receiving friend requests. >_>;
What??
Why
i fear like nothing in public worlds except crowding
I mostly fear the realization that I am twice the age of everyone in the room
I've already got a couple dozen cool people in my friend list that I feel like I'm neglecting and never spend time with, that I'd like to.
either with too many friends of friends of x that i cant really talk anymore or its so laggy and congested that i need to leave
Lol, I find it funny the first time I meet solar, they were about to fall asleeep
Lol, same tho
when i get on past like 8 my time
So regardless of whether the person seems cool or not, I either don't want to have to reject them, or don't want to end up neglecting them later on.
It's 1020 am my time rn
1k?
y'all are old
This is why I reject 90% of my friend requests Squishy
What planet you on bruh
ive been slowly cleaning my friends list
And then if they ask I just say 'Oh I never got a friend request, my game is broken'
Ezpz xd
Rin you're just young
I hate doing that. It hurts me, and I end up making it awkward and worse as a result. >_>;
idk how much ive lost but its been getting cleaner
I'm hyped to get to clean my friendslist
solar don't remove me
Rins just an adorable goof from what I've seen
hey solar
are u making fun of me
I guess at some point I learned to stop caring about rejecting friend requests or trying to live up to other peoples expectations. If you add me and I don't think I'll even remember you in a week, I reject it. And if I do accept it, there's no obligation to actually try to be 'friends' with you.
No, more of a compliment
true
hihi ^u^
Lol, yin, you have a relatively nihilistic view of friends
I think I am a nihilistic person in general tbh
nothing wrong with that
You need moar cuddles, Rin, you're up
?Yin has evolved into dr yin ? thats scary
Life has no meaning or point to it. The only thing that really matters is my own happiness and the happiness of those close to me. We all die eventually, our planet will explode eventually, and the universe will probably die eventually too.
imagine happiness
Some people find that negative I guess but it's a very neutral feeling to me
xD
it's not like you'll remember what u did when u die so why not speed up the process yknow
i wonder what the release date is
That's more of a expiry date though?
I do need to get better at rejecting people I guess. I can't help but make it feel like a bigger deal than it likely is.
u know how some things rot before expected
I used to be the same way Squishy. I felt afraid I'd disappoint people or upset them.
But in the end it doesn't really matter and your own comfort is the most important thing
I have a girl friend who is afraid of rejecting friend requests too and she's a very shy and socially awkward girl and she ended up with a horde of teenage eboys following her
Felt bad for her since it's the last thing she wanted
Oh dear. ._.
Had never quite considered that. I'd probably be doomed if I were female, with my nature about this stuff.
Same but I only get requests by trolls or something
I didn't mind accepting all friend requests when I was mute tbh. But yah I am female and once I started using my mic, I learned quickly to be picky with who I accept and give personal details to after a few... bizarre incidents
I seem to be a magnet for gay guys in VRC, but it's not really the same thing.
Omg my boyfriend is a magnet for gay guys too
everyone's horny in this game
Gay guys in VRC can be so aggressive
so yeah VRC gay guys go into hyper mode
MARRY ME
I wouldn't say I've had issues with any uh... aggressive gayness. Just some enthusiastic friendliness. ^ ^;
Have had numerous incidents now where gay guys aggressively hit on my boyfriend in a very sexual nature. Ignore the fact that he's taken and straight. They want to turn him gay. They suggest they go to private to get away from the pesky girlfriend (me). They get really touchy with him in full body. Etc.
Lol. Yikes.
Maybe it's just the guys in the groups we hang around
probably I've never seen that happen
Hmm. What gender avatar does he use?
My boyfriend uses female avatars usually. Semi-lewd-ish usually.
O my
Cringe
who doesn't use female avatars
Me
mme
gay
Male avatars do not exist
I guess that second part might be part of it. My avatar is heavy on cute rather than lewd.
Which probably draws a different crowd.
Probably. The guys flirting with him wear super lewd female avatars.
why can't they flirt with me
I don't quite understand why most of the gay guys wear super lewd FEMALE avatars
cause gay equals being super feminine to some ppl
I often wonder if they're just 'gay in vrchat' and not irl
Probably lol
Well, I guess they're actually Bi. When I said gay earlier, it's not like i ever asked them their orientation, and it's not like I'm in a male avatar either.
So Bi would be the far more likely thing.
Some feminine guys like feminine things 
I take it with as: If have the annoying voice they are gay irl
I mean I love femboys
who doesn't
But I have witnessed many gay guys erping in nude female avatars
And I'd think at least once they'd use a male avatar?
male avatars suck tho
Like i said they dont exist
Also to be honest, I'm waiting to see the first mainstream discussion about some new orientation specific to the emergence of VR.
Never did
I like me some virtual people
Bruh
I hope i never read that trash lol
most male avatars are fucking eboys
It's a fuckin gender
i became more gay because of vrc tbh
This makes me cringe
The closest to Male my models are is if the pokemon has a gender difference I use Male
Alright
Ditto. VRChat made me VRGay. Or at least VRBi.
or it was that i started finding girls more annoying to date
Yeah, that's the kind of thing I'm talking about Yin.
Lord have mercy what is this conversation
I became more straight because of VRChat tbh. I am dating a guy for the first time in like 10 years. But I intend to take the relationship to IRL and I don't mind being with a guy IRL.
Since frankly the existing orientations (even the overly expanded modern options) really just don't cover the weirdness of VR.
i wake up to this
welcome Mic
As soon as "vrc made me more gay" appears I get hit with the climax of paradise city
gm mic
wanna join in
What the fucien
i was bi already but
Yeah but
cute boys are just superior
I was bi already too but I leaned heavily into girls
And yeah, I should admit that I'm speaking somewhat from experience too. >_>;
VR is confusing.
you realize that girls are annoying to date

i meant like
A girl could act the same as a boy
for me it is
My last girlfriend was amazing tbh. Not annoying at all
And you would never know because you didn't talk and assumed just that
Is this some Incel shit?

hi
ive just had better experiences with dudes

My experience is the opposite Jon. My experience with dudes sucked when I was a teen so I stuck to girls for a long time
a lot better might I add
Brb
It depends on a lot of factors
Maybe a) you've dated bad girls or b) you're just gay as heck xD
I think it mostly has with ambitions and interests
Incel refers to the inability to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one, not the inability to get a girlfriend.
If you're doing fine with guys, then you're not in that boat.
for me I think dating girls leads to "more annoyance" because I probably get attracted to the wrong women
how?
:0
That's why I said that for me I think that they're pretty annoying to date in a lot of cases
but that's just girls that ive met irl
I feel like I've noticed one thing, just from within my various friend groups in VRC at least. Which is that if a guy wants a relationship with a girl, using a male avatar is a major advantage. Kind of blatantly obvious for the most part, but still, I've noticed lots and lots of evidence for it.
As I've said before I live in a small town and there isn't just a lot to choose from
Maybe for normie girls
I wouldn't want a girlfriend that didn't want me for who I am. I hope other people don't switch just to get a gf
I'm not attracted to them so I don't see them
Heh, yeah that's an issue in itself for IRL dating I guess.
i dont find VRC that interesting anymore. i'm only on when someone i actually know is on, and that doesn't happen often
I like guys that don't mind using female avatars. Shows some confidence in their masculinity imo
Less so each year as the gap in interests and hobbies between genders shrinks over time, but still...

when vrc discord meetup
If you're a nerdy guy, you're looking at a far narrower pool if you're hoping for someone who can genuinely share in your hobbies and interests, rather than tolerate them.
I used to be in a long distance relationship with a girl who loved playing games
Yea, I gave up actively looking for that long ago squishy. If it happens, it happens is my current outlook
same
u miss me
so we played a lot of OW
mine came out to be a hoe
before I quit that shit game
with hoe i mean
I had to break up cause distance aint for me
golden hoe to dig gold
I got like no one I could go for that would interest me
If both of us had VR at the time I could probably have still been in the relationship
Like on my area
And Yin, I imagine a guy using a female avatar is far far less of an issue for you regardless, based on what else you've said.
Very true Squishy lol
I just see a lot of guys absolutely refuse to wear a female avatar because 'mah fragile masculinity'
If I where to go for someone they would need an almost carbon copy of my personality and interests
me, i always use female avatars xd
I never use em
It's strange how the visual component in a relationship is so strong.
im tired of being A BOY
it's like guys making gay jokes because they're confident in their sexuality enough to do so
If I refuse to use male avatars
Bruh
Like, obviously it would be, but seemingly more so than voice, possibly.
does that mean that I have fragile femininity
whats happening here
Yah exactly Rin
I will only use a female avatar if I need to
for what occasion i
Generaly no
gotta have a female avatar if you want a whip
true dat ^
Because hey I make pokemon not anime people
Heh, I'm somehow the opposite. Using a male avatar tends to make me feel strange, unless it's sufficiently faceless, like a generic storm trooper or such.
gotta use the whip
The closest to person and female I got is deoxy
pokΓ©mon pokemon
I don't mind using either gender avatar tbh but I mostly use female
same
I mean if it's not a pokemon it's something like a spartan
Or at the moment pyro becaue tf2
female avatars match my voice so it feels more.. comfortable?
and lets accept the fact that 80% of the avatars are female
But I enjoy male ones occassionally too but it has a weird mismatch feeling
Last time I checked I was a guy
Unless someone ran up and swapped my genitals last night
check again
Aight
uh
You could still be a guy with a vagina
thats kinda sad
o.O
micropenis u mean buddy
wathek
Nah
Aight let's stop
Well this took an odd turn
..
Die
i meant behind the scenes
We on thin ice
Having my female avatars match my voice would be fantastic, but that's beyond unrealistic
why am i promoting catfishing
Imagine being fooled by a voice changer
^^^
Time to start working on a trap voice Jak
You deserve to be catfished
i wish I could do a feminine voice
Maybe some smart people have made an AI algorithm capable of realistic remodulation
Like if anyone falls for a voice changer odds are they're dumb enough to be scammed another way
clownfish isnt gonna work, its too bad, it would have to be some paid one and a combination of your own voice practice to be convincing
but guys, help me here, im a man and whenever i call someone, they're like ' HELLO MA'AM'
Anyone want to donate their voice for the dataset?
Even the best ones are still pretty obvious without like...studio grade setup and software and professionals
Listen. My mute girlfriend who I've been dating for 2 months is definitely a girl IRL
I do know one person who combines slight voice acting with a well configured voice changer, for surprisingly good results.
She's just really shy okay
Yeah someone with an already good trap voice might see results but a dude just doing a falsetto? No lol
Anyone fooled by that deserves it lol

hey can I be anyone's gf? I don't have a mic but im a girl i swear
They fooled me when I met them, and far as I'm aware just about everyone else.
I think maybe 3 people have made me think "hmmmm is it?" me and none have done it intentionally
I mistake some old girls for young boys way more often than I wish I did
So if I don't care about catfishing or trapping, what about vocaloid then? Would that be too irritating?
Far as I understand they're trans and doing it out of desire to have the voice, certainly not out to trap anyone. They usually tell people fairly soon about it after getting to know them.
oh my fucking god
Jak be a real man and train yourself to do a convincing girl voice. Don't rely on computers
Relying on computers is what I do 
Some of the best Vocaloid tracks are impressively human sounding for what they are, but then those take many many of hours of careful tweaking and design. Not remotely something that can be accomplished in real time.
Big pp
Got a DNN tracking my body, my voice, and my room. I'm sure at least someone has researched remodulation.
Time to spend 30 hours on arxiv
dont fall for the trap mem, be a man
But...
My own voice I don't think could be described as feminine, but I am softly spoken. Has been incredibly bizarre getting into VR-Chat and suddenly having had dozens of people compliment my voice, when not a single person had ever done that before IRL.
Oh I'm not falling for anything
Lol
I don't really care about tricking people though. Just good enough.
Honestly I think it's be so cool when you use an avatar, you'd get a new voice to match it
thats kinda cool
I think the nature of using a microphone and how virtual voice audio isn't perfectly realistic gives an big advantage to people who are normally quiet or softly spoken.
Imagine avatars having a voice matcher every time you talk, it speaks its own voice
But thatβd be weird, traps would go crazy
In real life if I want to be heard at 10 to 15 meters distance, I have to raise my voice resulting in a deeper/less smooth tone of voice.
Traps would go crazy but it'd make for some very fun roleplaying
You'd need a lot of people to donate voice data, or you'd need a lot of money.
Whilst in VR, it doesn't matter how loud or softly I speak, since it will still carry exactly the same out to any given distance.
Granted, it will still be quieter, but it won't be dampened out by the air or disrupted by other sounds in the same way as real life acoustics.
i have a "puppet" on my model that speaks for me, so im using a female model realistically
Oh, so Google AI made an algorithm for this...
Avatars coming with voices would be pretty amazing yeah.
Though It'd be ironic if it became a thing, since for the first time ever I'm actually kind of confident about my voice being ok.
Voice Builder and Voice Cloner respectively
Despite initially intending/expecting to play the game mute.
Same here squishy
Still sounds like TTS though...
I've always avoided voice chat. Vrchat made me open up a bit
Just a personal TTS voice
Kimple and some others use voiceto text to speech lol
time to practice a feminine voice
Oh god
Just speak softly Jon. Don't even need to go feminine.
What is up with the topics today
Trying to make that jump is a major gap to cross, and often just sounds more awkward than not doing it, I feel. (from hearing others)
Regarding voice changers and mutes etc though, one of my favourite "mutes" is this one person who always uses a voice changer to mask their speech.
They have it set to sort of shift everything they say into 99% unintelligible musical-ish tones.

Lol
Oh god I hate that one
Kind of spritely noises.
I hear peope using it so much in publics
Yeah bad voice changers are instantly muted for me
I've never heard anyone else doing it Yin. You might be thinking of something else.
Maybe I am
This is why I asked if certain voice changing methods would be annoying. That seems like an annoying one 
Thereβs one Iβve seen on YouTube that is so high pitched I have to use the subtitles the youtuber adds (they add them into the video because they have a Korean and English audience)
If you look up someone like Jeffybed or Zone on twitch they have good ones because they're actually tweaked to sound good
I mean, unintelligible? Seems kinda extreme
Most voice changers are annoying tbh but maybes it's the countless children abusing them that ruined them for me
This person still speaks, but you can almost never make out an actual word. Just sort of the emotion behind it, or the rough number of syllables.
I would probably spend hours tuning it
Kids in vrchat love two things. Giant avatars and voice changers. Oh and screaming
Yeah tuning it is what matters
Mhmm. This person that I won't name, has it tuned really nicely. It's a pleasant sound.

They just sound like some magical creature. (Which suits the avatar).
Ah okay that doesn't sound too bad then
I just use hand signals, generally does the job
If it's being used for roleplay it can be cool
So they're effectively mute, but you get that tiny bit of vocal interaction still, like talking to a sentient animal.
Although most people default to robotsbecause voice changers sound like robots
You can still make out stuff like, "Mmmhmm!" when they want to say yes to something.
Or, "NuuhUhh" sounds. Startled sounds. Curious sounds. All that kind of thing.
Is really unique. Never seen anyone else really do it in quite the same deliberate way. (and stick to it as a permanent thing)
Is like... Mute+.
That does sound pretty cool
I like when people do characters
hi
Hard to get to know them if they never open up though or break character
Yeah. That aspect can be tough.
Have got a couple mute friends, where despite the friendship feeling plenty real and sincere, it can end up feeling like things are stuck being a little more shallow than they could be.
people who do chatacters are β‘
solar everyone is β‘ for you
speak for yourself
you can speak for me if you're nice
β‘
sH
π€«
i made a zen break character like once in 3 hours
i dont reember how but i probably did something dumby wumby and got him to lose it
hi peoples
solar solar
oof why did i say peoples... well im socially awkward guys
aha awkward!!
hahah awkwarrrrd
yep thats meh... gah
shit duud im the last person you need to be awkward in front of
but u don't care so it's okay
ahem
international law can fucK
also if guys dont mind how old r yall
18
ur old
I'm the drinking age
boomer
when I get over 20 imma be a boomer
ok boomer
no jon's a boomer
im 18 btw
Is there a way to delete old VRC accounts? My old one keeps getting hacked and harrassing me and my friends.
rin how old r u?
she's 14
too old
so all of us unless your 50+ are gen z or x
UwU
ποΈ
?

_<
yall r boring
Ok
Can I talk to any of the vrchat team??
send an email to the supoort email which is...somewhere, and something, and explain to them that you need an old account deleted with the username and the password and whatever else they ask for and itll get reaped at some point
Reeee
#vrchat-support going by blind guess
if you ping a vrc staff member in here you will get mauled
Yep
Thank you
do it sissy
by the man
try it, you won't
@ the vrchat team
sowolar
assholes
woh

hihi
lmao
haihi
hru
how did u do that last time
do what?
uhh bad so like i have a science fair project thing due today and i didn't start it yet and i'm failing every class
uhh u answered my question before i asked
bad
hunch
the key to science projects is in selling your soul to AP / whatever authority dictates your curriculum
lowest effort shit
i sell my soul to satan
no i was in honors
good
and it's due today and i was already failing that class so meh doesn't matter
bad
pain
pain
baguette

You failed
ok beta
calm down, omega
omegawdness stop
Hello
Hi can anyone make an avatar for me pls?
Because I dont know do avatar it is hard for me
Well, if you want to commission someone to make an avatar for you, take a look at VRC Traders.
You can find a link to their Discord in #community-servers-old
Dont expect it to be free tho.

Ok
Hello i just got vr today.. how to disable teleport movement or something.
its in settings called "Holoport"
Is it possible for users to get IP banned?
yes
VPN
I'll keep that in mind. There's someone who keeps coming back on multiple accounts
ip bans wouldnt solve anything in that case
nowadays most peoples default router setup just lets them restart therouter and BAM new ip
hardware ID bans are the hardest to evade
since you need to pretty much get or emulate a new system
hawrdware ID ban's are sadly just as easy to evade.
VRChat does have HWID Bans. Sadly those can be spoofed, like IP's

And if someone cna find a client they can also for sure find an automated tool that will spoof all there HWID info for VRC
some include those π
Hello!
just like call police on whoever gets banned
and be put on 24 hour watch
this is why we need facebook to sponsor us
to swat all client users
The problem is, that for some of the security that people want, I see a e-sport grade ant-cheat as only solution. But who wants something like that when chilling with friends?
You owkay?
it's not swatting when they legitemately get arrested for illegal bullshit 
"e-sport grade anti cheat" except that vrchat is definitely not a streamlined and highly polished e-sports game that has absolutely strict and predictable behaviour.
@devout berry Too bad there is no real esport grade anti cheat as even those get bypassed often
"esport grade", so you mean requiring a phone number?
I know. I meant the features - RAM analysis, game integrity checks, etc.
I'd rather not have anything check every single thing when we really dont have the performance to spare yet.
And your system can spoof anything it wants
Like we are talking about tech from fucking ages ago
Not some sci-fi rebuild machines
Yea, those involve some pretty heavy performance impact. It's okay in csgo when the game runs at 350 fps lol
game integrity checking is trivially bypassable
Yep. Not suitable for high demanding VR game.
and the rare reliably working anti cheats are server side analys of behaviour. And that only works with specific things, and in highly predictable behaviours.
idk if this is the place to ask, but I changed me name which I thought would look normal but appears as diamonds. Is there some one who could revert that to my old name or do i really have to wait the 90 days to change
Its legit more worth for them to just fix there games bullshit and not prevent clients
Having no way at all to use anti kick is better then fighting anti kick code π
It does take at least 20x longer to analyze a native executable versus IL, so that's a plus. The most effective countermeasures are about making it more bothersome to hack, not "impossible"
I cant wait untill the day where we rethink everything that is on a motherboard including the cpu and gpu's function for better safety in everything and better speeds
From what i read about for example e-sports version of EAC, it can snap a screenshot, provide RAM dump and integrity check. But i think it does this only when the server side is triggered, because imagine non-stop analysis of your gameplay - that would introduce slowdown in normal game too I think.
Well that was the reason for them to make people need to get visitor rank
But then you just still crash everyone with easy to get public avatars that no one knows how to report
Or use a client that can swap other people's avatars
then it doesn't matter what you rank you are
That also is a way to go
Or join on someone thats trying out there world that force changes your avatar
the big question is, how easy is it to adapt a new patch, is it start from scratch are rather fast if you knew how the previous one worked? @lunar cedar
Im not sure, would that even work π€
Can you join someone test build?
It depends on what obfuscation techniques are employed. Typically code hotpaths must be optimized and they end up providing identifiable signatures to locate throughout every patch. These let you have a known location to work from everytime. It reduces time significantly, but still much longer than a typical ILspy hack.
There is at least one way I thought could reduce hacker numbers, but that would be expensive - I thought about a BOOT2GAME concept - the game would be made as linux game and distributed as a bootable media inside custom locked down distro.
we should make a thursday patch day
no matter if new content/fixes are provided or not
just to break client's
π
Gonna be lovely for peeps with shit internet
vrchat patches really aren't that big tho.
vrchat does require a decent connection to play so i think it's fair to say, it wouldn't be the issue.
Paul
Please
We both know the difference between fast and stable
VRC needs a stable one, not really a fast one.
it still needs a decently fast one.
Hmm... Maybe what about doing some kind of bounty hunting on client vulnerabilities? It don't have to be money, but I think with some prize for hunting hackable parts, there would be community to report them.
There is also a reason why worlds like the box are so big with crashers even before it was a big world. Takes no time to load into even on a VPN π
lol
good point Oclac 
@devout berry STill would need to find a patch for them, apply the patch and keep on
Most of the exploits rn are known they just need the fixing
Make vrchat open source
Yeah. You are right.
OSS FTW
We both know my points are always great even if they are a bit odd
But ey- Im always right so
I nean paych updayes would literally be only an issue with dialup
@wheat cape You think it is a good idea? I think that if this happened, facebook and others would use that opportunity a lot!
Yes... they do.
And you cant run vrc on dialup anyways
Same with Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla.... should I go on?
:0
And destroyed VRC community...
@devout berry open source does not mean copyright is gone from it
Yeah...
Also making something open source is stupid unless its for purely non monetary reasons or the whole gimmick of it
thats a tad dramatic, what "destroyed the VRC community"
Okay then at least let ME in on the dev team
I'd crush those bugs with vigor!
Lol no I like my job, why would I want to be paid for this
You prob have a boss and people who want to see results from you and the game and not just bugs being removed
So yeah then they need someone dedicated to patches
Maybe most patches people scream are easy arent easy π
The fix for the ip leaking is to 'just dont use the system' or to 'just update it'
First one bricks things that i cba to explain. Second legit cant be done unless the unity version updated
But you need someone who can be trusted - when you make closed source software, you don't want someone on the team, who would leak the code.
Well they would just sue the shit out of you for breaking your contract
what if im part of a PR team and want to do some 5d chest moves
reality might be different tho... with some big games beeing cracked before release partially...
whelp
That also has to often do with press releases or demo versions being shared before official release
Those are prone to leak.
