I wound up purchasing one

#

Dell was having a Presidents’ Day sale idk if they still are or not

#

I can barely play pcvr on my 800 laptop

final coyote
#

For some reason my fingers won’t move in game 🧍‍♀️

vocal shard
#

Mine was regularly around $2,000 I got it for $1500

vocal shard
#

Shhh don’t tell me that, let me feel good about “getting a deal”

ruby needle
#

Hey, you have a laptop that does it's job

vocal shard
#

I don’t need to know that

ruby needle
#

That's good cirOwO

vocal shard
#

Yeah, it’s working really well

unreal verge
#

I only know Amazon where deals are real

vocal shard
#

The one I got was $2k on amazon

unreal verge
#

But they are usually more targeted to Prime users

dim geode
vocal shard
#

I sort of figured the prices go up and down based on demand

unreal verge
#

Yeah thats how online shops work

vocal shard
#

I wanted a smaller screen but it was going to cost more for that

unreal verge
#

They'll also adjust the price based on which device you currently use

dim geode
#

and the market is not "normal" now

vocal shard
#

Which makes no sense to me- but it must be demand

unreal verge
#

Some sites make you pay more if you for example use Apple devices and less if Android lol

plain epoch
#

So, does anyone here know this world called "8 BALL + CHILL"?

ruby needle
#

There is a ton of these now.

vocal shard
plain epoch
#

How do I play 8 ball pool on desktop?

ruby needle
#

Read the instructions

plain epoch
#

In VRChat, of course.

ruby needle
#

If there are none then go to one of the worlds who have Desktop instructions cirOwO

dim geode
#

yeah go to harrys 8ball they have instructions on the wall

plain epoch
#

K

unreal verge
#

Maybe they all use the same prefab and it isn't even intended for Desktop lol

dim geode
#

it is though

unreal verge
#

Just a thought

vocal shard
cosmic shale
ruby needle
plain epoch
#

Also, any cool places for hanging out in that supports potato laptops?

vocal shard
#

moderation tools for private events I go to all day

plain epoch
#

Because my laptop... It's ****.

ruby needle
#

I'm just not sure why you're asking me for my thoughts here cirPrise

vocal shard
#

why not I always ask dumb stuff on here

ruby needle
#

Fair

vocal shard
#

when im drunk

ruby needle
#

Go to bed then

vocal shard
#

you know for science

ruby needle
cosmic shale
vocal shard
#

you still use their worlds

#

vrc didnt make them

plain epoch
#

I once saw someone with a literal pp on their avatar. They got away before I could report it.

ruby needle
#

Thing is, technically you can already do some kind of user specific things.
So you could potentially lock a door for a individual person if you wanted to cirBox

cosmic shale
ruby needle
#

Not quite as convenient, but that'd be doable. cirBox

plain epoch
#

I don't remember the username, unfortunately.

#

So that sucks.

vocal shard
#

Id just like some actual game discussion in vrchat general

#

instead of talking about pp's

#

pp

#

your right but wouldnt real tools make sense?

unreal verge
cosmic shale
plain epoch
#

Worst of all. That person with the NSFW avatar was "woohooing" in a public world.

dim geode
vocal shard
#

because we want to host professional events with irl artists across multiple instances

cosmic shale
#

Like I mean just look at discord
People own big discord servers and some of those people are smoothbrains
Some world creators probably might be too

vocal shard
#

with the current options things are difficult

ruby needle
#

I think it's very important to be carefull with providing these kinda tools.
While you can udnerstand one side's desires a in "their world, their rules", social exclusion on a big level can be an issue if everyone has access to the tools

plain epoch
#

Anyways...

dim geode
#

"no homers club", world kicks anyone with homer in their username

vocal shard
#

are you saying we should just build security into doors and avatars?

cosmic shale
#

I personally support vrchat’s decision in not implementing moderation tools for world owners

vocal shard
#

because thats chaos

cosmic shale
#

If something’s allowed publicly on vrchat it’s allowed in your world

plain epoch
#

Yeah, the most popular 8 ball pool world has no instructions whatsoever.

vocal shard
#

lol apparently everything is allowed in labs

ruby needle
#

I think a instance owner should be able to have to tools to exclude someone from the instance permanently (till the instance closes) to get people out of event's that cause trouble.

vocal shard
#

i went through 1200gb of data last month

unreal verge
#

Can't secure your world against people with anything anyways as people will bypass all that with mods anyways. I mean if they're crashers they probably use some malicious other stuff lol

plain epoch
#

Jesus. Clear your cache.

vocal shard
#

thats why

dim geode
surreal crypt
#

moderation for worlds? just open an invite instance ya git

plain epoch
ruby needle
unreal verge
noble depot
# plain epoch How so?

You would be re-downloading the worlds/avatars you visit, rather than loading the versions you've already cached

plain epoch
#

Yeah, but it saves storage space, so idc

surreal crypt
#

nah i get it i just like failing at humor

vocal shard
#

dont get me started on the cache issue

noble depot
#

I think they mean they have a metered connection, too

unreal verge
#

You can just limit your cache then. At least soon as it is an upcoming feature

vocal shard
#

iv been complaining for months now about the 20gb size

ruby needle
#

New beta has options !

noble depot

(And is actually live comaptible so you can use it right now.)

#

sorry been so busy\

ruby needle
#

I hope so, at least there was been a few nights since the 12th cirBox

vocal shard
#

i dont remember any of them

noble depot
#

head to #open-beta-info to sign up for beta announcements too o:
You can opt in to the beta by going to the Beta tab in VRChat's properties

vocal shard
#

beeen partying in labs the whole time

cosmic shale
#

Mmmm
I think it’s better if I don’t opt for the beta

unreal verge
#

Oh i now clicked on my own profile. Forgot that i added the VRChat site to my Discord status lol

vocal shard
#

I've ordered an overpowered rig just to get back into vrchat.

cosmic shale
#

Part of my soul already breaks away whenever vrchat has an update

surreal crypt
#

what's the worst that can happen if i turn on animations for all users

cosmic shale
vocal shard
#

What’s an overpowered rig?

surreal crypt
#

damn
i just saw apparently item toggles count as anims? so i'd hate to block those

unreal verge
#

Yes

dim geode
cosmic shale
# surreal crypt why's that

Because I don’t want to see those vrc+ ads in the quick menu, they’re repulsive to me and I feel bad for anyone who has to look at them

vocal shard
#

Yeah.. well I'm massively agoraphobic my lockdown is 8 years so far, so I'm pretty lonely honestly.

unreal verge
#

Item toggles/material changes and everything else you can toggle with the radial menu will get blocked if you turn animations off

surreal crypt
#

eh

vocal shard
#

My greatest times was when I was here creating

surreal crypt
#

the vrc ads are less obnoxious than any given website

plain epoch
#

How do I rotate items on desktop? Is it impossible?

surreal crypt
#

use a controller

cosmic shale
unreal verge
plain epoch
#

Oh, nvm. It's Q and E.

steep laurel
#

VRChat's ads just told me there are single milfs in my area looking for sexvrpill

vocal shard
#

I didn’t know there were ads

cosmic shale
#

And it’s just really obnoxious when you’re used to not seeing them

unreal verge
#

Be careful what you say here

dim geode
#

lol it should wear off then when you get used to seeing it

cosmic shale
#

Well sure octo but I mean I’m just saying

vocal shard
#

Do any of y’all use the full body sensors

dim geode
#

at least they aremt third party ads! i would uninstall immediately if i had ads projected into my eyes via vr

static frigate
vocal shard
surreal crypt

that's a tough call

For just lying around not really worth the cost

cosmic shale

I want fbt but i wouldnt be able to dance. Don't have space for that unlike i feel like constantly hitting everything around me. So laying down is the best i could do lol

steep laurel
cosmic shale
#

They deserve it for being boring

dim geode
#

yeah i know, youre a hateful bigoted fellow

static frigate
#

Lol there are some eboys who arent boring

steep laurel
#

I don't see your point, it's like you're hating on the fact people don't use FBT for doing wacky and weird manevurs.

static frigate
#

Definitely not many tho

steep laurel
#

Get FBT and do that shit yourself.

cosmic shale
steep laurel
static frigate
#

Can confirm tho have FBT and am boring

vocal shard
#

Yeah what’s an Eboy

steep laurel
cosmic shale
#

Everyone’s seen an eboy
They all use the same anime character bases for the avatar, tails, wolf ears, glowy parts mostly found in the hair, some of them even blast annoying music when they join
That’s an eboy

vocal shard
#

I am wondering about if it would be worth it for me. Not just for VRC but other games as well

cosmic shale
static frigate
#

Or the feetsaber mod for beatsaber

steep laurel
#

By your logic, any humanoid with ears or a tail is an "eboy"

warped snow
#

anyone know how to fix the error where the terms of service will not load?

steep laurel
#

I bet you've used a model with animal features.

noble depot
steep laurel
#

And what about egirls?

#

Majority of VRC is humanoid furry's which is what you're describing.

cosmic shale
#

I was specific on purpose

steep laurel
#

You described a visual, not personality.

cosmic shale
#

Because it actually describes an eboy

#

There is no solid eboy personality

steep laurel
#

You added the blasting music part, I agree with that.

#

So, why doesn't that describe an E-girl though?

cosmic shale
#

Though a lot of them sound like they’re straining their vocal cords to sound deeper, if that counts

static frigate
#

Intro music is the worst thing this game has tbh

steep laurel
warped snow
steep laurel
#

The original deep voicers.

dim geode
noble depot
cosmic shale
#

Egirl avatars are boring too but you don’t see as many egirls with fbt so it wasn’t part of the topic at that point

unreal verge
#

I like unique spawn animations but that generic "eboy #28943847389 has entered the lobby" with 3 minutes long music is annyoing

steep laurel
dim geode
cosmic shale
static frigate
#

The imersion and being able to talk to anyone around the globe you share a language with

steep laurel
#

More than the majority use that same description, voice and blasting music aside in their avatars.

cosmic shale
steep laurel
cosmic shale
#

There aren’t enough people who have avatars that are involved in something they’re passionate about

steep laurel
#

I wasn't attacking you by the way, I just wanted to debunk lol

cosmic shale
#

Yeah I understand

steep laurel
#

Because by that visual, I'm an eboy. Annoying gang related shit and effects and music aside.

cosmic shale
#

“A member of [insert keemstar screaming] has joined the lobby
(Seizure music)”

steep laurel
#

I also lay down in FB.

cosmic shale

#

Only effects on my avatar are tiny spring joint balls and a integrated pen

#

Yeah i've two on one of them cause i couldn't decide lol

plain epoch
#

Wait, Q and E is the pool controls, nvm

cosmic shale
# steep laurel I also lay down in FB.

I mean you’re fine as long as you’re not an obnoxious person
I can’t say there’s anything inherently wrong with using a neko-like avatar in general

#

Also is it just me or does everyone encounter someone who’s e-relationship has just failed every now and then

surreal crypt
#

what do you mean

#

i encounter plenty
not specifically in vrc though

dim geode
#

if you just hate people, vrc might not be the game for you

muted wharf
#

relationships in general working out are kind of common, y'know.

vocal shard
#

Are people in real relationships there? Someone asked me if I was single- I wondered if they meant in real life bc there’s not a very good chance of meeting

dim geode
#

yeah, people live and sleep in vr and they have relationships

static frigate
unreal verge
#

I sleep too much in VR lol

vocal shard
#

Wow- I wonder how that goes

static frigate
cosmic shale
#

“I have no idea what you look like or how you live your life but I want to marry you someday”
I don’t see the appeal myself

muted wharf
#

I think you're skipping past a few parts of the relationship there

cosmic shale
#

That’s the end goal

static frigate
#

^

vocal shard
#

My problem would be with the lack of physical presence

cosmic shale
#

That too

muted wharf
#

Not always. Some people are after companionship, not a legal status

unreal verge
static frigate
#

Nice

cosmic shale
muted wharf
#

I didn't mean to imply marriage was out of the comfort zone. Relationships leading to marriage is kind of a social norm.
My partner and I have been together for over two years now and we aren't exactly planning on a wedding any time soon.
We're content with our current state and don't want more/less.

cosmic shale
#

Fair enough I guess
But I think two years would be a bit soon to be marrying anyhow

muted wharf
#

Same, but I also see a lot of people married in a year or two around my area, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

cosmic shale
#

I just want to have a family in my early 20’s like my parents did, I think that’s a perfect time to have kids in the long run

muted wharf
#

I'm about mid 20's, my partner and I aren't looking for kids any time soon.
I don't think there's really a perfect time for kids in general, I feel like I'd feel rushed into having kids or adopting or something before we're actually ready and wanting to.

#

I don't think early 20's is a bad time though, I just personally didn't have my stuff really figured out and was still kinda getting into adulthood around that time.

cosmic shale
#

Yeah but I want to be around a long time for my family like my parents will be for me and my siblings
So, that’s my view based on how my life has gone

static frigate
#

We all have very different experiences

muted wharf
#

Ah, that's a good look at things, actually. I'm just worried even outside of having children that putting arbitrary milestones of what I expect my life to be at XYZ age just kinda leads to disappointment or too many expectations.
Rather personally just live in the moment and see where things take me instead of fretting about my own self-imposed expectations of myself.

So I have a few avatars from this one public world and I suddenly can’t change into any of them. Does anyone know if this means that they’re gone forever or if there’s a chance they might become available again?

I’ve had a few avatars that become unavailable before but when that happens the entire avatar disappears from my menu, but I can still see these ones just fine, it just doesn’t let me press the Change button. Idk if this makes a difference

open crescent
#

the author might have made them unavailable, or they got banned or something

vocal shard
#

Ok thank you (:

#

I actually just shared a picture of one of their avatars if anyone recognizes it

open crescent
#

Did they get banned?

vocal shard
#

All their avatars are just unchangeable now

open crescent
#

if you click an avatar you can see it's author right

vocal shard
#

“Peachy’s avatar world” I think the name was

open crescent
#

why'd they get banned?

vocal shard
#

I just wanna know if there’s a chance they’d come back because I really like their avatars and it’s hard getting ones like those for free /.\

open crescent
#

select the one you want and click "change"

vocal shard
#

long time oof, they take up like 6 of my spaces haha that’s rough

open crescent
vocal shard
#

I have no idea where to contact them

#

If anyone has any clue 😭 I’m here lol

open crescent
#

then get some and then change to them. you can also clone avatars off other people if they have cloning enabled. (open the quick menu and click the player who's avatar you want)

#

or go to avatar worlds and get them there

I dunno a few hours ago it started doing that thing where it chops back and forth

open crescent
#

ah so it was fine before?

night sparrow
#

yeah

#

I usually get at least 30 fps

plain epoch
#

Thanks.

open crescent
#

sometimes restarting fixes it. Other times check if your audio settings are wrong.. other times... dunno

night sparrow
#

2070 OC not the best but enough to run every other VR game fine

#

Yeah I did all that,went from wifi to wired also. It does this thing where it chops back and forth between two frames

open crescent
#

2070 is good for sure

vocal shard
open crescent
#

but this chopping between frames... I haven't seen that before I think

vocal shard
#

2070 bad, no personality
GT 1030 OC good

night sparrow
#

hah

vocal shard
#

How do I find cool worlds in VRChat?

night sparrow
#

chopping between frames by which i mean it will go back and forth between to movements, like a step foreward and back over and over. I talk to people all the time that get it

vocal shard
#

No, you are forgetting something far better. HD4400

#

Playstations don't have graphics cards.

open crescent
night sparrow
#

what headset you got?

open crescent
#

index

night sparrow
#

I was talking to someone the other day who was having the problem and they had a 3090 so I don't think its a GPU problem

#

maybe Its just sometimes its fine for hours with a full room and no safety on blasting effects

#

I wanted to build a new pc when rocketlake is released but it seems shortages are effecting everything so probably won't happen.I guess I could buy a prebuilt,anyone know who makes good pre-built systems that don't overcharge

vocal shard
#

if your looking for a basic decent speed pc that runs well mine fits that catagory

#

kinda

#

They use the APU, which isn't a graphics card.

#

i got an MSI laptop with 6 I-7 9th gens, a RTX 2060 and 8gb ram with 64 installable

#

its done well with me

#

I have a GTX 1650 GDDR6 test sample.

#

havent tried VR with it but seen as my friend has a lower grade pc than me and they run vr at about 40 you should be fine with something like this

night sparrow
#

Weird I talk to people with powerful PC's that have major probs, the guy with a 3090 was getting 10 fps and that chopping back and forth loop also

vocal shard
#

do they have decent CPUs?

#

also have they actually assigned vrchat to use that graphics card

#

my laptop often would swap to my Intel GPU at random and severely reduce performance on vrchat

sharp saddle
vocal shard
#

so i forced it to only use my RTX card

night sparrow
#

maybe thats it

open crescent
vocal shard
#

lol

#

you can also change it in your windows settings

cunning elm
#

I have a 2070 and some rooms are at 26fps. Highest I get is 53fps

vocal shard
#

alot of basic apps on my pc use intel gpu but i often make them use the RTX one because it allows me to do more

#

in desktop i get 80 FPS with all very poor avatars

night sparrow
#

Sunkissed, yeah thats what i normally get

vocal shard
#

havent got a vr yet so i couldnt tell you its vr capability

#

but id guess half fps would be what it would get

#

with VR

cunning elm
#

Yeah desktop is diffrent. I'm talking about in vr. Idk maybe it's issue with cosmos

vocal shard
#

I get the same in VR that I do on the VRChat desktop app.

#

i only added one sound file and my world is now 24mbs larger wow

#

jesus christ haha

vocal shard
#

the world is about 200mb because of how much area there is to explore

open crescent
#

quite sad tbh lol

vocal shard
#

to be honest i am quite happy at 30fps most times

#

since ive been a console player since i was born pretty much

open crescent
#

VR is kinda shit at low framerates

vocal shard
#

yeah

open crescent
#

it's not the same as playing on desktop

vocal shard
#

my phone showed me that one haha

#

yeah i asked for a vr a few years ago and i got a fucking phone vr

#

lol

#

i mean close enough

#

currently saving for a vr

#

i am kinda stuck between rift s and quest, i know you can plug in quests to get better performance

#

and allow for pc avatars to be seen

cunning elm
#

I looked it up. I'll try changing settings in performance and see how that works

open crescent
vocal shard
#

yeah

#

it depends how much they are

#

So is the Desktop Version of VRChat better?

#

as i spent 2 years saving up for this laptop

open crescent
vocal shard
#

and the rest of my setup

#

like my monitor mouse and mousepad

#

and soon i want to try hook up another monitor

#

as this thing can be used like a desktop pc

cunning elm
#

If you don't have VR it's good enough. Feels too weird being in game without my headset now. I like to be immersed

vocal shard
#

desktop is like the test

#

getting a vr is the full version pretty much lol

cunning elm
#

Yep

vocal shard
#

once i get a vr i don't think i could ever go back to desktop unless it was for quick map testing

#

since i do not have a vr i use my friends to test my world and avtars in a vr setting

#

while the world is slightly laggy sometimes or it was till i removed some extra grass and changed the load distance for it
it runs fine

#

somehow

#

i say somehow as my world has a map inside of a map

#

lol

#

theres two areas

#

each are technically their own map

#

and the dropship takes you between them

#

its pretty unique because i havent yet seen a map do what mine does

#

though there probrably is in the endless amounts of worlds on vrchat

regal furnace
#

i usually use teleports to transport players between areas

#

easier and cheaper

vocal shard
#

yeah

#

i would have if i knew how, anyway the dropship that flies between areas is pretty neat by itsself

open crescent
#

dropship transport sounds fun tho, for a show

slate rock
#

Jar makes some amazing games

vocal shard
#

How do I find cool worlds?

#

10 seats and a decently animated ride considering ive barely touched animations since i started

open crescent
vocal shard
#

i still need to figure out how to make my audio 2D but still radius only because making my maps musics 3d ruined them

#

as now certain segments that sounded fine in 2D just earrape you in 3D

#

is there a way i could make them toggle on or off in a certain radius of them?

#

outside of the audio settings themselves

cunning elm
#

What do you mean by cool? What are you looking for

regal furnace
#

btw, does any of you know what happened to blastjump? it got taken down some time ago and i havent found why

regal furnace
#

a game world

sharp saddle
#

Sounds familiar. Don't remember what it had.

open crescent
#

oh, do you think it got removed by vrchat? did it have porn or something?

regal furnace
#

nah, it was a jump and run sort of game world with rocketbooster to jump from one platform to another

open crescent
#

ah, I remember some people talking about a few worlds being taken down because they were using some 3D assets without a license

#

could it be that

sharp saddle
#

Ooooooh, yeah. That was difficult.

regal furnace
#

i doubt it

#

and the world was ez
record was like 4 minutes

Is there any way I could get my Teslasuit to work in VRchat or am I going to get banned ? Thought I'd ask for permission first

Teslasuit, full body haptics suit with 12 point tracking

full jetty
#

ah, you wont get babbed for that I assume

lethal jay

Not without mods which is against tos

coarse haven
#

So I just got the opposite answer at the same time

full jetty

well if its supported by vrchat, its fine but modded clients arent allowed for obvious reasons

vocal shard
#

you can use it

coarse haven
#

I have a unity plugin

vocal shard
#

good luck

coarse haven
#

What the heck kind of answers are these...lol

vocal shard
#

haptic suits are pretty expensive
so you won't find anyone with them

coarse haven
#

Yeah

#

Well I have one

vocal shard

as a matter of fact
you are the second person i've heard owning one

#

support is very limited

Oh cool

the first one was a youtuber with loads of money

I'm a poor boy who wants to be a YouTuber

Nah that was my whole years income hahah

I really wanted It, y'know :/

vocal shard

i looked in thr website

full jetty
#

from what I can tell its about 10 years of my yearly salary

vocal shard
#

"dev kit for only 12999$"

full jetty
#

ok crank that up to like 20 years of my yearly salary

coarse haven
#

..yeah :/ I can show you my reciept if you don't believe me heh

vocal shard
#

Im new to vrchat can someone help me plz

#

keyword only

full jetty
#

I dont doubt it, but you just got a hell of a lot of money

coarse haven
#

I don't really heh I make 1k a month

#

So it was literally a year of my income

vocal shard
full jetty
#

I make barely a 100, but I work at a store

vocal shard
#

how do i play with friends

#

and how do i get an avatar

full jetty
#

Add them on vrc, go to social in the menu and you can find them there if they are online

vocal shard
#

go in your social menu, select a friend and join him

#

alr ty

#

go into world menu, search for "avatar" to get a list of avatar worlds

full jetty
#

and for avatars you can clone off some people or go to worlds

vocal shard
#

and go grab one that you like

#

alright thanks guys

#

you can favorite them so you don't ever need to return to that world

#

which is super cool for people creating worlds

coarse haven
#

@vocal shard if you can let me know that other guy whose doing YouTube with stuff I'd be super appreciative

#

Would love to use it in game and such

full jetty
#

I only remember a clip of a guy with a haptic suit

vocal shard
#

@coarse haven "heyI'mBee"

coarse haven
#

There's several now, there's bhaptics for vibration motors and there's owosuit and Teslasuit for estim

vocal shard
#

i hope you understand japanese
otherwise, good luck

full jetty
#

I dont even think thats for the same thing

coarse haven
#

Hahaha I guess I know why you said that, I do a little bit

#

Thanks so much for this dude

vocal shard
#

form the description, it's using a shader to work

#

which is already out of my knowledge

coarse haven
#

It does look like it's just for bhaptics yeah but if I know how it's doing it I can do it for Teslasuit I think. Thanks so much. Might need more help down the line if anyone wants to assist but I'm greatful what I just got thanks

Is the Rift S or Oculus Quest 2 better?

full jetty
#

well, do you have a PC

proven parrot
full jetty
#

hmmm

#

the Rift S looks a bit better to me when I look at images of the 2

#

not that im an expert btw

vocal shard
#

check the framerate

full jetty
#

wait rift S only has 80hz

vocal shard
#

the optics

full jetty
#

the original rift has 90 what in the what

proven parrot
#

Quest 2 has 90 and the Rift S has 80

vocal shard
#

in vrchat you'll mostly be at 45 or under

full jetty
#

yeah so the hz dont really matter that much

vocal shard
#

and between 80 and 90, with the type of game VR currently has, it really doesn't matter

full jetty
#

the Rift S is more comfortable with the headstrap

proven parrot
#

Oh ok, do the pixels matter?

vocal shard
#

i would still say to avoid oculus products tho

full jetty
#

I feel like the Rift S is a more full experience while the quest 2 is a bit of a limited one

vocal shard
#

remember, you need a facebook account to use them

#

so take that in consideration if you care about it

full jetty
#

hm I could use my oculus account though

proven parrot
vocal shard
#

you also need facebook account with rift S.

#

there is no escape

full jetty
#

So oculus only works with the CV1?

proven parrot
full jetty
#

thank god I'm poor huh

proven parrot
#

since some skins are PC only

vocal shard
#

The one reason I still prefer rift s is less latency

#

avatars, not skins

proven parrot
vocal shard
#

But overall quest 2 linked is technically"better"

#

and you can get a Quest Link to connect your Quest to your PC

full jetty
#

mind you though that is more money to be added

#

and from what I can see on oculus the quest 2 starts from 349 while the rift s is 349

vocal shard
#

You can use basically any usb cable

proven parrot
#

The rift is 379

full jetty
#

oh europeen pricing I guess

proven parrot
#

Hm i will get the Rift S then i guess

full jetty
#

oh yeah link cable be like 99 euro from oculus themselfs

vocal shard
#

Just keep in mind that the rift s is being discontinued after the first quarter this year and the quest 2 will continue to be the flagship

#

until the quest 3 is announced later this year

full jetty
#

oh yeah thats coming too

i can talk here now

ruby needle

Careful with that extentsion you linked first

#

There is a limit to distance

#

2M seems quite short

full jetty
ruby needle
#

Definitely not 2m +3m extension

full jetty
#

you can also do usb c to usb a

ruby needle
#

You dont want to tho

#

C to C is what you want

#

C to A is only for cases where C is no option (And where installing a PCIe card is out of question)

full jetty
#

I watched a video where someone was using type c to 3.0 and it got higher bandwith

ruby needle
#

I'd recommend to find a 3-4m C 2 C cable, 5m could definitely already be a bit long especially with the extra connection due to the extension

proven parrot

proven parrot
#

Oh ok

ruby needle
#

That's only USB 2.0 to begin with

And if you have a C port definitely get a C to C

Try to get a propper cable

#

no extender + cable

proven parrot
#

Oh ok

full jetty
#

2m also a bit short

ruby needle
#

they want to add a 3m extender they also linked

full jetty
#

Rift CV1 has 4m and thats already pretty short I can just get to the back of my room

ruby needle
#

You can't quite compare it tho.

#

As in the cable and data type

#

CV1 is 3.0 (would even work with 2.0 actuall) and a normal HDMI cable

#

Official USB C distance is quite short for a gen2 link cirISee

full jetty
#

pretty sure CV1 wouldnt properly work on 2.0

#

not that I can test it as those 2 ports are already being used but still

ruby needle
#

It does.
Even the cameras do cirOwO

full jetty
#

"Quest" cables are already more expensive anyway

#

Im pretty sure putting it on 2,0 will mess with the signal

ruby needle
#

The CV1 doesn't even do much data on the HMD it self

#

The tracking is all external

full jetty
#

external tracking gang

ruby needle
#

It's basically the controllers and sensors, and that's nothing

Is there a way to find the names of songs playing in certain worlds? I really like the playlist that plays in the “drinking night” club world.

ruby needle
#

C to A cirNo

If it wasnt a good thing people wouldnt make it

#

Battery drain is the most common problem with it tho.

#

If you have a C available USE IT

snow furnace

Any ideas?

Does C also charge it

is that the difference between A and C

Not Gen2

Only Gen1 too tho.

Hm so that one works?

If you buy from a chinese seller with a chinese warehouse then yeah.

I like local sites because its basically guaranteed 1-2 day shipping

if you want to wait a month for a cable itll work

no you see I can check the shipping

And I can read it saying 13th of march shipping

13-23

That is you using a separate Y cable for power delivery tho. Right? 😄

last time I was on amazon.nl I could only find books

wooden moss

No, one cable plugged into the wall. That's it, I use remote desktop so I don't have to use oculus link.

#

I found a cheaper cable however it seems hella sketchy lmao

ruby needle
#

Because we are talking about link

#

And not just charging.

full jetty
#

I am confuzzled

#

Does remote desktop still give people the power to see pc avatars

#

also why can people make quest only avatars that pc cant see that dont make sense

wooden moss
#

Ok, well then you can also try getting a powered usb hub. Are you sure the usb port on your pc can even put out enough power to charge?

ruby needle
#

It is using wireless instead of a cable but it needs other things to have it work properly AND has a way higher latency which can be problematic depending on game and your own body (how subjective you are to VR sickness)

full jetty
#

imagine motion sickness

ruby needle
#

You don't wanna use a HUB for the link at all, you wanna straight plug it.

fun fact: my pc is the only device with usb c that I have

I like how it has that, but also DVI-D and VGA ports for onboard

but VGA

VGA is still very common for terminal use

I use VGA with a janky audio video splitter because my monitor doesnt have built in headphones

Most servers even will ONLY have a VGA cirBaka
