A lot of that it isn't possible due to limitations but there's probably other improvements to make

Well as I say have your expectations low so if something good happens your slightly amused

In today's question, why do so many guys play as anime girls on VRChat?
finite kraken
I see a lot of folks use avatars that is better then them like a attractive girl or cool guy, but I think going as avatars that looks worse then you like a far ugly avatar. You can know that you look better the model and glad your not looking like that... thinking positive
pure hemlock
I wonder that constantly fox. Not only do they play as anime girls but I notice a lot of them are extremely affectionate with other anime girl guys. Which is a bit unusual for males but nothing wrong with it. But it's interesting. Does the female avatar make them feel more comfortable being affectionate?
Is it an escape from "toxic masculinity?" Or are they just horny for their avatars
vocal shard
pure hemlock
Or maybe guys just like feeling pretty
vocal shard
I started just because I liked the design, but by now my avatar is almost like a part of me. If i see any pictures of my avatar, it feels like my body, and yeah. Idk.
Male avatars generaly don't suite me it feels
pure hemlock
Maybe it's the stigma that being in a male avatar you have to conform to toxic male standards?
vocal shard
I think you're looking too much into it...
pure hemlock
Like if you're not acting overly masculine it feels wrong?
Maybe but I wonder why so many guys feel more comfortable in female avatars I'm genuinely curious
umbral reef
Well thats what movies, books and everything shows us so most people dont realize they can act different as a guy
peak bramble
my favourite avatar's an owl girl avatar so i guess same here lol
frosty veldt
Maybe I just dont want to stare at a male avatar for hours on end when I'm working on it
vocal shard
I don't think it's specifically linked to the avatar. Just being "behind a mask" in VR is what helps with anxiety imo
frosty veldt
People usually want to work on something they find appealing, and it's easier to be appealed to a model when its the opposite gender imo
pure hemlock
But then why do girls still use girl avatars and not guy ones usually
finite kraken
Because everyone wants to be a girl
They make money just to talk to you on the phone
mighty nest
Girls get more attention
vocal shard
...
frosty veldt
It's more socially acceptable for women to be appealing for other women. For example girls are always complimenting each other for clothes/makeup ect but guys dont.
peak bramble
the owl girl avatar i like doesn't even look much like a girl actually
it kinda looks
agender and COOT
which is why i like it
pure hemlock
So guys wear girl avatars because they find them attractive.
And girls wear girl avatars beause it's socially acceptable to compliment other girls
🤔
frosty veldt
Being too specific, people use female avatars because they are appealing. People chose what looks good and what is good is entirely subjective. It doesnt help that a lot of people use MMD kitbashes which have majority female parts
vocal shard
I honestly think it's not as much thought put into it
pure hemlock
Well it could be a subconscious thing Jamie
umbral reef
I still really think its a mix of guys thinking girls look great and wanting to look great and social standarts being pushed upon guys in an unhealthy way in the real space so they dont want that same in game
versed sigil
CLOD
frosty veldt
The main problem is that it differs from person to person. Some could use the avatars for Oclacs reason while others not so much
umbral reef
I play girls in most games for the first reason
But in VRC i still play as a guy
But im comfy as fuck about myself in real life and dont follow the basic male rule mindeset at all
I know plenty of people who use male avatars because of the 'gruuu me gotta be manly gruu'
devout fulcrum
new to VRChat - Where's the best place to go to make some friends?
rigid crescent
I like the juxtaposition between my model and my actual personality lol
deft iron
I've seen several girls playing as guy avatar though
rigid crescent
Also I like Yowai's design and work
vocal shard
I will say that being in a girl avatar does feel a bit more free now that my mind has accepted it as my body. Like I'll stand and swing my arms more, maybe a bit more feminine mannerisms.
It's not like I want to act like that irl, in fact I'm quite the opposite, but people's minds just adapt I guess 
At this point my avatar feels like me, but also someone different that I can be however just feels natural. When I use a male avatar i lean more towards my irl self
pure hemlock
I play as male avatars occasionally and I do know a few girls that mainly play guy avatars but it's not nearly as common as the opposite
deft iron
Maybe it's because you're allow to act more feminine on VRChat without having to worry about the social stigma
vocal shard
This is concerning information
rigid crescent
I mean I like dudes and the idea of a guy model isn't very appealing lol
I do have one male booth model but it was more for an RP thing I got bored with
vocal shard
Also social stigma is necessary for maintaining healthy standards in a society. Society has been on the decline for the last 50 years in the western part of the world.
rigid crescent
I mean moral based ones, sure
pure hemlock
Would you play as a female avatar kothar
rigid crescent
But hugging your bois still being seen as kinda "not ok" is still not showing good thing for a "healthy standard" for society
vocal shard
No
pure hemlock
Why not though
vocal shard
Not interested
umbral reef
Meanwhile my squad wants me to wants me to crack there back whats kinda involves a harsh guy
frosty veldt
I generally see my preference as stronger than it actually is. I prefer to use female models but generally dont care once im using it.
vocal shard
I'll play as an inanimate object before I play a female character in VR
rigid crescent
Lol
frosty veldt
Doesnt really count as playing in vr when the model is generic :(
deft iron
Social stigma as in society judging men for not acting masculine
pure hemlock
What drives your repulsion from using a female avatr
rigid crescent
That's the toxic stigma we're referring to
vocal shard
That's not toxic
rigid crescent
It's ok to just not want to, it's moreso the reasoning behind why
deft iron
Imagine dressing up as female avatar in real life as a guy, you wouldn't be able to get away with it.
broken plover
when I use a female avatar it doesnt feel right for some reason
frosty veldt
I dont think its bizzare to not want to play as the opposite gender. A lot of people dont want to play as something they are not
pure hemlock
Would it just feel wrong to you or demasculinating or
vocal shard
That's related to biology
rigid crescent
Not wanting to is fine. It's the reasoning.
umbral reef
@pure hemlock I only play males as it makes me feel comfy
I feel too out of place when using a female avatar
vocal shard
Does it really matter? Why push it if someone doesn't want to and had reasons
frosty veldt
Do you need more reasoning besides "I dont want to"?
vocal shard
rigid crescent
Because that's never the full reasoning
pure hemlock
Just curious as he seems to be repulsed by the idea
umbral reef
Doesnt feel like real life me or online me at all 🤷♂️
Cant get my mind to accept thats me instead of playing as someone else then what i dislike
pure hemlock
I'm open to wearing a guy avatar it doest completely repulse me
broken plover
same (as oclac). And I also dont want to be called a trap because I mostly play mute because im an introvert or I have social anxiety or something so its hard to tell my gender if I dont talk
rigid crescent
Exactly.
pure hemlock
Just curious of his mindset
vocal shard
Again, does it really matter?
rigid crescent
Kind of
pure hemlock
Does anything matter in the end
umbral reef
@vocal shard no but its fun to know
pure hemlock
I'm just curious if he doesn't want to answer whatever
rigid crescent
In the context of this discussion it does
vocal shard
frosty veldt
Yeah I guess its "I prefer to use this avatar" vs "I refuse to be that avatar"
pure hemlock
If it's not feeling comfortable I get that. I don't feel comfortable in certain avatars.
Lolis and smal furries feel weird to wear
But I've tried them
frosty veldt
Yeah I've tried a lot of avatars and, for me, anything that I haven't uploaded myself makes me feel off. Like I'm wearing someone else's clothing.
vocal shard
I'm extremely conservative leaning, whether that has any influence is debatable, but I genuinely do not feel comfortable being in a female-like avatar, not to mention they are, by large, anime styled.
pure hemlock
Overly masculine men avatars feel really weird for me and I don't like it but I don't mind femboy avatars or more neutral male avatars
rigid crescent
Ah there it is
pure hemlock
That's understandle
peak bramble
when i play vrc i usually go for some meme avatar or i go for owlgirl lol
frosty veldt
I'm one of the people that trashes anime style while still using it
vocal shard
If I went for a meme avatar I would be purged from VRChat
umbral reef
That falls pretty much under the guys having to need X to be guys thing tho
frosty veldt
I like anime style but it lacks finesse like PBR so it can generally be seen as lazy from a materials stand point. I do like the aesthetic though.
pure hemlock
I don't mind anime style it's grown on me in vrc. And I've enjoyed anime since I was 12 but never like weeb obsession levels. I tried to mainly use video game rip avatars my first year but the anime gets to you eventually
frosty veldt
I'm still probably half and half with game rips and anime
deft iron
I also use anime avatars but don't really watch animes
frosty veldt
Warframes vs monster girls
pure hemlock
Although most of my avatars were ripped from Hyrule Warriors so pretty much anime anyways tbh. Had others though
rigid crescent
I don't remember the last anime I've watched that wasn't just random episodes with friends and I've got s pretty high power level from back in the day
winter wave
My current avatar is ripped from code vein, so also anime style really
pure hemlock
I've just noticed a lot of guys who seem to have ditched social masculine stigma and are openly affectionate and emotional and stuff usually wear cute female avatars. I've rarely if ever seen someone acting that way in a male avatar except for some "femboy" avatars that look female anyways
Well I have seen some actual gay guys in male avatars like that now that I think about it. But not the "vrc made me gay" gay guys
peak bramble
yeah it seems to be a surprisingly common thing in vrc
not that i have anything against em lol i'm one of em
pure hemlock
No I think it's beautiful tbh but that's what sparked me thinking it might be an escape from masculine stuff irl
winter wave
And given how many guys use fem avatars, you don't really stand out for doing it
It's just a normal part of vrchat
vocal shard
I have opened up and expressed emotions more in vrc than I would irl. True
winter wave
More surprising when I see a fem avatar actually being controlled by a girl
Though I don't think I've seen any using really masculine ones yet
So it seems pretty one-way
pure hemlock
I know two girls personally who use pretty masculine avatars almost all the time
They're both butch lesbians
winter wave
Well, that's why 😛
pure hemlock
God autocorrect corrected butch to bitch thank you
languid beacon
You can have anime style avatars that aren’t flat lit. It’s just most anime models are kinda lazy and depend on flat lit to hide weird creases and surface normals
Making a better one means making a model without razor sharp noses/chins and etc
winter wave
The one I'm using is ripped from a game, so it's designed to work properly with 'real' shaders
cold talon
ok, i feel called out there
rigid crescent
I know a few that use male models for lap dancing clubs lol
winter wave
No janky geometry, normal maps for all the detail
Though the specular makes it a little glittery, not that I really mind
She's supposed to be shiny and covered in water, a bit of glitter is alright
rigid crescent
Game Rips are one thing I'll never use just because I hate the idea of not being my own "thing". Like Technically I'm still a mimino model but it's not like it's an established character like being Kiryu or Goku or whatever
winter wave
now, if only the right hand animation actually activated on the right hand instead of the left....
Well, it wasn't completely instant
Still had to set up the rig a fair bit, and muck around with it because the skeleton was upside down
And unity mis-assigned almost every single bone
pure hemlock
I used to use a Linkle avatar for a long time and no one else was really using it because the game wasn't popular yet. Modified her a bit, removed the hood, added some gestures and animations to shoot a crossbow or to spawn chickens. But yah, once I ran into other people using the same RIP, I was like... I want to be unique.
languid beacon
One clever thing I’ve seen is using vertex normals to smooth out a face so that in PBR shaders the face still gets flatly lit
winter wave
Still, I'm mostly using it because I don't have the skill or motivation to make something from scratch
I've never seen anyone using this one, though it's usually recognised by someone every time I play
frosty veldt
Being an established character usually has the benefit of being able to instantly connect with others who are fans of the same things you are. However I generally use avatars that can be changed in the game they come from anyways so it is still unique in a sense.
winter wave
Basically the only response is 'oh, you are x, the DLC for that game sucked'
rigid crescent
Yeah like being s custom code vein or whatever is different than just using an established char
winter wave
To which I can reply 'yeah, it did'
Not really much interaction
Also it's a boss character, and not really a story-important one. Not really a named major character.
rigid crescent
Like my Yakuza mimino model has texturing from different games and then the Mijima eyepatch with my logo
frosty veldt
Depends on your character, I've had many people who are enthusiastic about warframe come up to me out of nowhere since I was using a warframe avatar
rigid crescent
But it's stil got my hair and everything else that makes my model recognizable as me
languid beacon
I just use the same avatar for everything regardless of context or crowd. I tend to play without name tags. So I know people by their voice and avatar alone.
winter wave
Not much I could really change about this
I guess I could give her a different tint or something
frosty veldt
Adding your own touch is always a good idea
winter wave
Though anything but blue kinda misses the water theme
frosty veldt
Make sure you add loud intro music that plays when ever you spawn /s
rigid crescent

Set up a custom shader that forcibly plays the entire boss intro for everyone every time I spawn

Kit-bashed avatars are the best. I love how personal they are. I will sleep on game rips. Customize something. Bonus points if you optimize it.
frosty veldt
Human proportions are boring, spiders are where its at
winter wave
It'd be a game rip, but I'd love code vein's last boss
Would need custom animations for every single thing though
Owing to being some janky 6 legged thing where each pair of limbs is a different length
languid beacon
Extra leg ik is easy now
cold talon
spiders :sleep:
ball avatars, thats where the real meta is
languid beacon
You don’t need rigid bodies for extra legs anymore
frosty veldt
How is it easy now compared to what it was before? Constraints didnt have that much of an effect
pure hemlock
oh god i block every spider avatar so prepare to be blocked
winter wave
I was considering making something like those ball-spider robots from nier automata
Though they are 6-legged iirc, so not really spider
languid beacon
Block me ahead of time
cold talon
much easier, since now you can just use the built in vrik and grounder for the extra legs
winter wave
But then you get to be a ball, and a multi-legged monstrosity
Also what do people here consider to be the best worlds for just chilling out and having conversations with random people?
languid beacon
Because <3 spiders
I don’t like those weird spider centaur things but regular spiders are ❤️
cold talon
lul, ball avatar with hands all around, some used as legs, some as hands
pure hemlock
Chilling and random discussions in public..?
pure hemlock
Hard to find... Best I've found lately is spookyghost worlds, but not black cat anymore sadly.
frosty veldt
All I do now are the half spider half girl avatars
pure hemlock
Spookyghostboo I think his name is, some of his less popular worlds have smaller instance numbers and more chill people it seems
winter wave
Good to know
winter wave
Spiders cool
pure hemlock
Yah they give me the heeby jeebies like nothing else. Especially the smaller hand controlled ones people using to climb up your body or sit on your head.
frosty veldt
Releasing the spider prefab was basically a massive middle finger to arachnophobes in VRC
pure hemlock
Bigger ones aren't as bad unless they have really good movement or are really realistic

should update my botw guardian model

mechanical stuff doesnt bother me really as much
winter wave
Saw a great one earlier. Couple of meters across, hairy spider with proper IK legs
cold talon
dont block the spiders, you gotta overcome your fear
winter wave
oh hey

pure hemlock
nah dude once they realize im afraid of them, they'll bully me for hours with the avatar cuz harhar screaming girl

frosty veldt
While I don't pester people that show their arachnophobia I can't stop other people
winter wave
I did chase around someone once while using a really really tiny spider avatar
pure hemlock
You're almost as bad as the guy who made the ugandian knuckles model
winter wave
Though I switched to knuckles eventually
pure hemlock
vectura ur the worst wtf
winter wave
I didn't chase them as knuckles though

tidyflyer I think his name was?
frosty veldt
@marble zenith The avatar youre talking about in VRC does use the spider prefab so yes
flat palm
whats wrong with vrc i keep crashing since new update
frosty veldt
Any avatar that has procedural animation currently uses the prefab, unless someone has made a different solution that I am unaware of
marble zenith
wait why are spider avatars bad? like i get how some people try to mess with it and spook people with it and its kinda weird but what about somebody being a giant spider just cause they feel like it? like their doing their own thing
pure hemlock
vrc crash now new feature
flat palm
ah good to know
pure hemlock
because some people don't like spiders
and spiders make us get weird crawling feelings down our back and make us squirm and not be happy
frosty veldt
Arachnophobia is more widespread than a lot of people think. Its courteous to avoid avatars that make others feel worse
remote moth
@flat palm why have crashers when the game can do it for you?
That's the question ^^
frosty veldt
Generally, if youre using a spider avatar you should be expected to be hidden just for the avatar
marble zenith
i use the monster from quiet place and i dont think its that bad
frosty veldt
Not the same though

I don't mind the monster

i used to have a king of the monsters godzilla avatar. he could turn into burning godzilla and the classic theme would play he can shoot atomic breath and do the classic roar but since people are starting to mod and pull avatars out of the air and get it when they want the owner had to remove it
and that sucks cause it was my favorite avatar

I’ve always found “trying to fit in” to be a mistake. Just be yourself, if other people don’t connect to you well, that’s on them. You are out, they are the ones who can’t respond well.
Trying to fit in is stressful. Not caring what other people think of you (as long as you are a decent person) is all you need to do. People who like you will see you and then you never have to keep up false appearances 👍

Everybody stops for a moment, pretty sure it is a common bug, even streamers with fast and stable connections suffer from it.
If only everybody didnt freeze from a single avatar taking the bandwidth. Didnt happen before this update. And corona is eating all my internet bandwidth anyways cuz too many internet users.

if everybody have this problem so
maybe EU server is overbooked

"VRC devs break everything and expect content creators to fix it" WHat's the alternative? Magically hoping all content works in a Unity version swap?
rigid crescent
I think it's a pretty good excuse
vocal shard
Refer to this picture https://i.imgur.com/UB7HC7m.png
rigid crescent
It's a developing game that's still the only one of its kind at the scale it's at with content creation available in multiple methods that's bound to break when there's an update as big as this
like thinking things won't break is kinda weird 🤔
...not really, no?
I mean Owlboy was definitely in the beta so had plenty of time to fix that lol
but the Quest client is totally broken lol thats definitely true. they probably don't care about it as much as they did when they were dropping on the oculus shop, cause it's weird as much slipped through the cracks on the quest
I don't think expecting content creators to fix their worlds is a bad thing though
"powerful games" wait what powerful games is the Quest running
vocal shard
Vrchat barely runs on a normal pc and proper headset
Vrchat working for quest is a miracle in itself
rigid crescent
Now you're getting into clown territory
If you think VRChat on Quest can work anything remotely close to how it works on PC, I have some bridges to sell you
Yeah you should probably stop now lol
Do you know the specs of the Quest by any chance
I mean dynamic bones are "just a mesh deformation" but
why doesn't Quest have those? 🤔
Performant ones compatible with the rest of the game?
That's not exactly the same 🤔
The quest is practically a cellphone without the cellphone OS, it's a miracle the game runs as is
Not sure what "powerful" games you've been playing on it
cinder python
Things would probably break less if avatar/map creators didn't keep trying to cram as much as they possibly could into this Free To Play game.
rigid crescent
Has nothing to do with that but alright
The Pug literally is nothing but meshes and mirrors and probably a few simple triggesr
Blaming creators is just as idiotic
Those aren't "powerful" games...
dense bluff
question anyone having issues launching vrchat threw steam just not able to launch it sense the update
cinder python
I'm not saying it's all the creators faults.

Yeah it probably means you're using a modded client
It should be culling anyway 
Not you, Nova

GL with that 90FPS on a 1050ti in VR
vocal shard
It's still not acceptable and will get you banned

godspeed to you
vocal shard
And things like the number of favorite avatars were limited for a reason
cinder python
If only VRC was built from the ground up with the Quest's limits as the base instead of PCs'.
rigid crescent
If it was it would be its own game with no way to access crossplay content 🤔
vocal shard
We don't speak logically here, jamie

grand quest

vocal shard
When avatar favorites were first being introduced, there was a large uproar among the avatar world creators who feared people would just come, take an avatar, and never returned
rigid crescent
and cloning
vocal shard
Limiting the number of favorites was a compromise
rigid crescent
Cloning only made that worse
vocal shard
Shouldn't make it public if you don't want it to be shared 🤔
What a weird complain
rigid crescent
I hope you realize how wrong you are
vocal shard
Since the game previously ran for years with a certain norm of no avatar favorites and people had to repeatedly visit avatar worlds, and always see the creators new updates, changing that obviously brought up a bunch of fears
rigid crescent
Unless you're in desktop getting that 90FPS I guess? But in VR? GL
It's not even a weird complaint, reward avatars for completing maps was more of a thing then than it is now
it went way down after cloning was implemented
Whatever you say
I mean maybe in empty rooms or rooms iwth only optimized models and only optimized worlds
But I know people with REALLY pricey rigs that dip from time to time just from large lobbies
But if you think you'll get a steady 90FPs with a 1050TI in VR then man you do you
Doesn't matter, still against the rules because there's no way to differentiate
There's literally no streamers I know getting a constant 90FPS though that's for sure lol dosen't matter the rig
unless theyre in desktop
im sure
"perfectly fine" and "90FPS" aren't the same thing
grand quest
I love having an overkill setup

That puts us at 22 RMAs for 16 people

@grand quest no i don't need to update anything
In 4 years I never managed to get 90 fps in any public instance or friend+ instance
grand quest
Thats odd
wraith lichen
90 fps is possible in super light weight maps even in public
Hell, VRSS even triggered a couple times
I feel like the two main things that VRchat likes is a good CPU and boatloads of RAM
vocal shard
Not really
The game isn't very well optimized from the start
And then you have the people with thousands of dyn bones
I'm not surprised that I struggle to even get 45 fps
I wish I could get a 2080 for that price
It cost 1300for me
$350 is about the same as a used 2060
Or 1080
A 2080ti is like 1600+

Just player voice and model for me. Nothing else is turned on.
wary hollow

drowsy island
No, friends get everything turned on.
cold talon
oof rip peps who have shaders that cant fall back on standard
drowsy island
I actually created two types of shaders for my avatar. PBS for randoms and MK for friends.
wary hollow
you can have a fall back shader ? hmm
cold talon
well, you cant really choose, but with shaders disabled any custom shader will fall back on standard
wary hollow
ahhh i see
is there a way to see my model with shaders on vs off
rough pulsar
The fallback to standard is only successful if the custom shader is setup to do so by using the same property names as the unity standard shader
cold talon
why do i feel an imminent ass woop because i got something wrong
drowsy island
Yeah, PBS is standard. Upload your avatar twice. One with nicely tuned PBS and another with fancy shaders for friends.
wary hollow
is there a way to see how the avatar looks with safety on or off without asking friends for pics?
cold talon
could change the shader to standard in unity for the material
if the naming is correct as gallium said, it should fall back gracefully
drowsy island
I think you can hold shift when starting VR Chat and select desktop low graphics. It's been awhile.
wary hollow
hmmm the model looks like trash on standerd there is no way this how it looks
and desktop low disables shaders @drowsy island
drowsy island
I believe so. I made two vrc accounts for this purpose.
cold talon
the worst offenders are procedural shaders, they almost always look like garbago when changed to standard
drowsy island
If your character is simple enough, you could try unlit.
drowsy island
There's a mmd dance world.
wary hollow
alright so i saw images on another screen of how it looks its diffrent from unity weirdly enough

Have gone on the avatar testing world? You can test the lighting there. Also the black cat is a great place to test the worst case scenario.

There is no moderators so they don't get selected 😂

On the discord server or ingame?

in game
rigid crescent
You don't.
broken plover
I think you can apply on their website but idk
rigid crescent
Basically
You can applyfor staff. Not moderation
That's a real job though not moderating the game.
Only staff I've heard of doing that lately is Ron and he got punked into unbanning someone a few days ago like 20 monites after he banned them because they were a streamer lol
And got them some attention too
He legit said "fuck the moderators" with him in the room and got banned on stream, they exchanged DMs, and he was unbanned 
wary hollow
mmmm i see
rigid crescent
Be a big, big name streamer and you're almost as good as a moderator tho
They get to prioritize their reports and call moderators
vocal shard
Absolutely pathetic
wary hollow
tho the best moderators are the ones who dont inform anyone of there status so people dont act different near them
rigid crescent
100% true story you can confirm it in the vod and his Twitter
Well you won't find any of those. No one in the game with any special privileges can keep their mouth shut about it lol
wary hollow
some people dont brag so they will not inform anyone
and am speaking of the ideal mod who is like undercover cop just hanging in public and normal worlds not speaking about there privileges
rigid crescent
Yeah that's not a thing
They're pretty against active moderation
Minus when people are streaming
They'll watch big name streamers and moderate their instances.

i always thought there are mods on some lobbys you may run into them being scattered to just make sure things are good and i remember that damm request Mod button not sure what if it really worked

rigid crescent
It used to work before the big boom of players
wary hollow
and true they may aim at big streamers as that is the image of the game usually
vocal shard
Not anymore since a long time ago
rigid crescent
They moderate for big streamers. They don't moderate the big streamers themselves. They're allowed to get away with a lot more.
Anyone else would've had to deal with the ban. The guy banned last night was DMing their CCO directly and got his public ban removed in 20 flat in front of a room of people
vocal shard
I wish it was a joke

sadly not everyone does get treated equally

Right

Hi toxic god

I often don’t realize mutes are players and have on multiple occasions assumed they are world objects or someone’s animation prop
vocal shard
Well people either have no mic or can't speak irl
sour pasture
Yep
languid beacon
Oh I have no issue with it
I do mostly ignore them, I can’t read body language especially the desktop mutes
Does make it very hard to have meaningful interactions
It’s sort of like someone’s pet. It’s there; you might pay a little bit of attention for a few seconds but then it just gets ignored

ok can't use vr for some reason...beatsaber, pavlov, etc work fine
vrchat when I load in to the homeworld and I have to click go I can't see my controllers or anything as if I don't have tracking
like I literally cannot click "GO" or anything
vocal shard
A issue on your end probably?
ashen harbor

vocal shard
Maybe its SteamVR or something
vocal shard
Hmm maybe ask around, they will know better than me

Big streamers may get treated differently then normal players
@atomic thunder
I can't seem to sit in front of mirrors more then few minutes
It gets boring and not the best full body use
@languid beacon I do play alot mute as it's easier to act like the anime character you playing as vs talking
@ashen harbor when you in game hold the power button to turn controllers off and turn them on while in game no menus open
Should fix it
atomic thunder
Well not every full body user just sits in front of mirrors, but plenty do

Lol
