TDA's are technically illegal because the parts are used illegally, they're copyrightten
Yea we know
I was just explaining to them
Who
The people who said "lol wat" and "tf"
Ah
I wouldn't call tda models lazy. It's only lazy if they aren't optimized well. Not everyone has the time or interest to sit and model for hundreds of hours just to have something they like even though someone has already probably made it better than them.
They just want a model of their own. And kit bashing is a good introduction
I'd like to replace that with "Doesn't know how Blender works" or "Wants a simpler solution"
Or "Really likes this model but wishes it was blue"
i make avatars but i dont use shitty TDA parts
i cant "sculpt" from scratch, but i know how to make my own shapekeys, rig, weightpaint, UVs, textures
people in vrc just have bad taste
always know how to spot a TDA creator
your avatars look just like everybody elses and nobody will recognize any of the work you do, congrats
Can we talk digi
I'm new in VR Chat. So uhh, VR Chat only tracks your hand movement and head right? I heard in the next gen of VR Headset can track your facial expression too
Kitty let me add you
I just bought Oculus Quest 2 a few days ago and all of these are so very new to me 😂 so pardon me 👀
I thought Oculus Quest 2 have built in finger tracking?
Index? What kind of device is that again? 😳😳
I mean, I thought it is part of Oculus Quest 2 lol
Quest 2’s finger tracking isnt for VRChat dont bother
You cant get full body and you cant see half of VRChat’s worlds and avatars
Unless you have Virtual Desktop, Airlink, or link cable connected to a Computer
Have fun
You’re disgusting
Imma throw you
What
No
War
I will crush your cat skull
Jesus I was looking all over for these yesterday
no where had them
went home defeated in the end. so sad
I sure hope you have the rights to edit and use those TDA's in VRChat, kitty
Kitty you going to sleep?
Well technically whoever you paid for the commission broke the ToS of TDA as editing it into a completely original character is actually fine
Kitbashing TDA's is actually against the TDA terms for some reason as well
Link to your models? Plz
You going to bed?
Ok
It doesn't matter where you're from or what you work with because the TDA model has a terms that has to be followed, not saying you broke those terms or anything just letting you know they exist just in case
This is just why booth creators made a TDA look alike you see youtubers using.
I was just letting you know so you don't get yourself in trouble.
It's good to stay educated
is there documentation somewhere of what the settings on the normal settings page do?
like holoport, comfort turning, personal space, 3rd person rotation, etc
Couldn't find anything on the vrchat docs page, but
Holoport lets you move in 3rd person, so if you have motion sickness, use that
comfort turning snaps your camera instead of smoothly turning it, again helps with motion sickness
personal space makes other players disappear when you get too close to them and reapper when you're further away
I think 3rd person rotation is, when you use holoport, if 3rd person rotation is on, you'll rotate to your avatars rotation, when it's turned off, you'll stay in your current rotation
Ah, noted! Thanks!\
ah okay, thanks!
Hi

hi
hope you're doing well
nice
wait wolfy did you get new account?
I did my last one got hacked


Awww, okiii. As long as you still alive buddy
I am
I will never die

Thank goodness for respawn
good, we best friends. Lil
oui
i don't know what that is but yeah.
...
ok


Girl I don’t understand it why you want to hurt me after all of the things I’ve done for you

Unity is such garbage
!audioSource.isPlaying never returns true even when my songs end. It's practically the usable function for what I'm doing
I love Unity Devolopment
did you try searching for others having this issue
do you have to specify a audiosource for it to monitor?
Maybe it doesn't know what audiosource to check if its playing or not

There's only one audiosource I think. It also plays the first song no problem
[SerializeField] private AudioSource audioSource; <-- using this one throughout everything
audioSource.Play(); also works when called manually
audioSource = self.GetComponent<AudioSource>(); like this? "self" is the gameobject with the audiosource and script
Last time I held you cat you almost scratched me to death. nu. no more kitties
My world is on version 13 and I barely added mirror toggles yet
caffeine you make me have a panic attack once. I gotta stop drinking you
Anyone wanna play dm me
That used to happen to me whenever I drank 1.5 liters without eating within the span of about an hour
From my experiences (btw the biological half-life is something like 4 hours):
300mg hands start shaking
600mg anxiety
900mg nausea and panic-prone
Good job Unity, the PCM audio format has a negative efficiency, making audio files 4 times bigger than were they uncompressed.
What type of caffeine? Like what brand energy drinks?
That's about the rate of coffee. Energy drinks actually has less caffeine, but they have other funny things in them which will mess up your heart rhythm and such
It’s funny your name

Coffee helps me cope with evil software
Only when I run out of milk
Is there a bug where you cant interact with doors and stuff cause im playing murder 4 and i cant do anything and the same goes for other worlds to
lil b%$h pick me up or ill scratch up you and yo couch
Hey, am I mistaken, or are people really willing to pay 10$ to recolor an already existing model?
Paying for a base model is a thing, yep. Usually, you only pay once then can make as many separate avatars from that base as you want.
No, I'm talking about recolors.
Oh, like paying someone else to change the color of a texture? I bet that still happens too
yeah, people will pay just for recolors
people are weird
Why is that weird?
Some people just want a recolor and either don't know how, or don't want to do it them self
I mean 10 bucks is nothing. That's a good price for a recolor actually
I have seen people charge 60$+ for recolors
And like. Recolors can still take skill and some I would charge way more than 10 bucks for
To be fair, if you're not just changing the color of the texture, and you're actually changing it, it can take a while to do
Even if you're doing it in something like substance painter
Hi
The best coffees were the dunkin donuts pumpkin spice ones
I LOVE DD
idk why they changed their name to just Dunkin
it sounds stupid but its still good
they had to
i refuse to explain
Uhuh
It was totally neccassary to change the brand name
all the good coffee shops are so far away from me :(
I am extremely late to this conversation but I have a good friend who makes furry avatars for people on vrchat. Let me tell you, furries are absolutely loaded. She makes 60-80 per avatar she retextures. Mostly because substance painter is expensive as shit, and buying base models also costs a decent amount
my experiences is around 500mg hands shaking
Depends on the quality of the work but anything ranging close to the 100€ mark for a texture is borderline on scam/ripping off territory
Substance painter is quite cheap all things considered
And buying bases is also part of the expense that the end consumer shouldn't suffer
As you make your money back for that quickly
It depends. If a creator already has the model then I agree, they shouldn't have to spare extra expenses. However, if they are asking for an avatar that requires the creator to purchase a brand new model, that should be added to the total
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If the model is popular they will make way my re money than the initial purchase
To me it's just a way for them to make more money, which who doesn't want to? Lol
Either way creative processes are hard to put a price tag on
Very true.
less than min wage is standard for artists
If you're not charging a livable wage for your work then you simply don't value yourself or your time. Pandering to people who are cheap and unwilling to pay what you're worth and instead seeking the lowest possible cost aren't clients worth having or worth your effort or time.
I've seen an absolute shit ton of people pay north of 100-150+ for texture work. There are plenty of reasons why avatar edits can run that much. Nobody wants some noob editing their shit, and a lot of people simply are unwilling or unable to learn the tools no matter how easy it is. Sub 50-60$ edits simply are too cheap unless the edit can be done in less than two hours max. Too many people when they start out editing stuff for commission undervalue themselves and their time and wind up spending many, many hours editing an avatar for what works out to be sub min wage, which is purely a growing lesson for new artists and shouldn't/doesn't represent actual fair costs for skilled work.
For example, you can go on Craigslist and get a photographer for a wedding that only costs 400 bucks, but you'll get a noob with cheap equipment who just is starting and has no idea how to put a value on their work. Yet you can also drop 2-4000$ which is what weddings actually cost, and ensure you wind up with something you actually love. Just because the former example exists, doesn't make that the norm, so often people see the bottom end of what people charge and assume that's just what the market charges and end up scoffing at the higher rate work, but that's just another learning experience but for the buyer this time.
Good clients know how much work costs and good artists know how to value themselves and properly price their work.

idk what the reason behind such bots is

Most likely answer

Hey, does anyone have a Hp reverb G2 v2? I’m considering buying one and I’m a little concerned about the tracking.
So if anyone can tell me their personal experience with it that would be great.
Pin?
a bunch of spam Bots
Don't have a Reverb G2, but the controllers don't have capacitive touch sensors, while the layout is like the oculus touch controllers. But the lack of touch sensors is gonna make them behave like vive wands, which doesn't work that well with thumbsticks
so the controllers alone are a red flag against getting the Reverb G2
where tf did i get pinged?
some mf pinged everyone
spam bots mass-pinged a lot of people
not everyone
Ah I see, so not ideal for VRchat then
oh, ok... i was like dafuk? i never get pings
Yes. The go-to headsets for vrchat are the Quest 2 and the Valve index
Right, I’m using a quest 2 with link cable right now, but I was thinking of upgrading and the reverb is on sale at the moment
But I could just wait for a different headset, there’s no big rush
when you get pin and come to check if its a friend just to find out you dont have a friend since it was a bot 
the bot is everyone's friend imo
Uh ping?
read up
Ooh okok
I got notified on my phone iPad plus computer lmfao 🤪
Mfw I had to quit the game just to get away from a guy who was trying to crash me
Selective ping, weird. Thanks for the info. 👍
Hoo boy.
dont cry ,all be ok
VRchat getting raided? Random pings
lets go
Nothing new then lol
All the things I wanna mess with are undocumented qq
That's the best kind of mess
Anyone wanna play vrchat?
I can get on in a bit
Seems raycast goes through players
there's probably a separate method for it
because udon doesn't let you get players or their components and getting a player collider would be spooky
That's what I wanted to do though
Just ran into Adzy in a public lobby. I suggested we jam together or something sometime. I'm learning bass. That makes him the fourth popular streamer I've met.
Adzy is a cool dude.
Yeah! Even entertained the idea. Encouraged me to keep practicing every day.
Twitch streamer?
Anyone wanna play vrchat for like 2 hours LOL
ok sorry
I'm gonna kick u
hii, small question. if youd get vrc+ now and you get the early supporter badge, will it stay once ur vrc+ expires?
yes it'll stay
aah nice, thanks!
i forgot they're still giving out early supporter badge for whatever reason
more like "early" supporter badge
How do i get out of visitor? ive plaed the game for like 17 hours and still dont understand how to get the new user role
visiting worlds, talking to people, adding people as friends, etc
basically all kinds of social interaction
make a vchat account and link it to your oculus/steam acoount
vrc+ done
I didnt get mine until like 50 hours 😂 When i first joined i wasnt so talkative
But i realized this helps. And adding a nice detailed bio got me to rank up too
Basically, have a vrc account, and be social
Yeah, i talk but not alot considering my keyboard sounds like a thunderstorm
playtime doesn't matter much
im planning on getting a vr headset but im tryna get new user first
but beings social, interacting with people, uploading public worlds and avatars is what helps more
yeah im trying to find out how to make my own avatar but to upload i need new user first
and buying vrc+ for the first time give you a trust boost, enough to get to new user afaik
I could but I would rather save my money for the vr headset first, then id think about it
Just play more
Id say like about 25 hours total but it seems like its getting longer and harder to rank up as time goes on
i just murged and turnt out that gave me CC acsess
when did u make ur acc
then i got user as a BDAY gift, probably coincidence but on my berthday noticed it
like nov 2020, and avtive played for 2 months then restarted bout 4 months ago
idk my total playtime tho
cus i split between all 3 offical clients
my steam account is visitor cus its a steam account
CBA to murge it into my main becase its probably not much xp, granted its like old vrchat home when it was created
small room
like not like when the old home was made
but before it was phazed out to current one
WAIT
wot
i can check, as steam saves when people 1st play
Check dat
at least some games i can see stuff
idk how to see the activitly log of me and friends
march 29 2019
Just keep playing. It can take a day or two
old
just realised i would have been 13
if wot
oh I thought you were like a middle aged guy
nah just DL vrchat ages ago
so i wonder what rank that steam account is
probably isnt old enough to be auto trusted
mayb
16 :<, I dislike being grandpa. I remember being 16, 16 years ago
that's life
hi
Public worlds exist, as I told you before.
kek
That's too young of an age to be depressed
If you want to talk you can message me, I'm an adult though so I'm morally obliged to act properly
any age can be depressed tbh but i know what you meant
nobody any age should feel that way
I was too, honestly. It's just a shame. A waste of youth
😔
People suffer more from imagination than from reality
Sounds really sad when you put it that way
There's two kinds of suffering, there's the one that makes you rethink your life, figure out your dreams, and to work towards what is actually valuable to you. It will force you to improve and to face your fears, because you will have no alternative.
Then there's the second one where you're just miserable. You might sit in a corner. You might make up negative stories in your head about people betraying you or whatever. You might try to make yourself look as pathetic as possible because your main source of affection comes from pity.
But time passes, and nothing changes. You're waiting as if something will happen on its own, or as if something will start without you initializing it. But you just get older, you might as well have spend the time throwing parties or whatever, because whatever you spend your time doing it had no positive effects whatsoever
Yeah pretty much
Getting older sucks because time doesn't wait for you to figure yourself out
It's why I started self-improvement, if I'm miserable I might as well be studying or exercising. It's also much better for the conscience, and helps people get into a positive spiral again
that's how you become a boring "real adult" and start eating vegetables 
it's true tho
i wish i didn't spend so much time in chats on my phone thoroughout university because i would have graduated a few years earlier
if i just studied and didn't make myself feel worse with escapism
Even if it's a little late for further reactions (I guess):
I fully agree, even if I didn't have any "real" depression I think I know what you mean when speaking of escapism...
I have no serious "trouble" in RL but I also rather like to spend time in virtual environments than in RL...It helps me countering the feeling that I have not that many contacts outside from my family.
Some kind of social anxiety makes it hard, additionaly my (Asperger) autism doesn't makes it easier to engage in social activities in RL. Well, last one rather makes it harder for me to find long-lasting contacts.
For some reason these problems are less strong (for me) when I'm in a virtual environment. Well, also VRChat costs me some good amount of "strength" to overcome these problems. Interacting in Voicechats like Discord provides is the easiest way for me...
Btw. @pseudo basalt I just saw that you wrote in your "About Me" that you are a programmer. May I ask in what kind of business? Just curious...I'm learning softwaredevelopment now for 4 years on my own and after my final exams I plan to study information technology. I would like to hear some information about other people's experiences in this business...of course only if you don't mind 🙂
Ok
Yes it's the same pumpkin
Yeah but I also have a "real job"
I'm currently doing some freelance/part time unity dev work for a company
And I was also a django backend dev before that
I'm probably not the best person to ask about careers and whatnot because I got my first ever job last year @river ridge
Ah, ok! Thank you anyways 🙂
hi
Had to learn python for it as well but bailed as soon as I needed to be in the office
oh lord, u learned python to work on django ?
Well it wasn't remote but i managed to convince them to let me be remote for a while since i lived close by
that must have been unpleasant
And because I didn't need or want to interact with anyone outside of chat
Needed work to pay bills so yeah
yeah i get u
Remote is chill but it wasn't a thing in here before covid
do what u gotta do ofc
in the past ive only taken remote jobs, i just cant be arsed with people
im not working atm, i left everything to go try do my own thing
didnt work out rly, not recomended
i got a better remote job for some unity editor dev
no more django? \o/
i would like to do my own thing but it's hard
quit that just over a month ago yeah
it wasn't bad, learned a bunch of useful stuff still
i used to do web / backend work it just stressed me the fk out
but being forced to sit in a cold white light lit office is pain
the company was especially crappy tho, with impossible deadlines and corner cutting
i like make good code, not rushed code, it killed my drive
i dnt code for over a year after that job
i probably got lucky, my company was small and didn't have any tracking tools
deadlines were a bit flexible (they were kinda disorganized)
everyone was chill but backend is just not my calling
it's boring
the one that got me was when i discovered a blatent flaw in security in a client app, and was told to just ignore it and bill them post release for additional maitiance
i left the next day
Ah yes sounds like business
My company was less business oriented and more people oriented
I hate corporate companies
mmhm
I applied to two, one wasn't IT tho
yeah, i mean, they worked us to the bone, and basicly broke me
One i did an internship at as well
That was my biggest fear when going into game dev (so i never did)
But you just go hit by the business side of work it seems
im going to be going into game dev stuff, but only unnder my own terms and for myself
i wont work under somone else like that again
It's a good experience at least to know what to avoid
Not all jobs are like that but many are
How long did you work there
yeah its a hard pass from me, no way im doing it again
4 or 5 months, mainly cos i was borderline homeless
oof
i would have left alot sooner if i could
looking back i should have stayed lonnger cos i rly fked myself over, but i clearly had a moral limit
(oh yeah this project with that flaw was for a PD too)
Worst part is that these kind of jobs suck all your energy so you don't have any to look for a better one while there
But pretty much all devs have to go through at least one soul crushing job
for me, its what i do when im stressed, or need a break from life
i dont own a TV or anything
so when that one thing that chills me out, stresses me out
I like game dev and 3D stuff
it kinda does alot of things
I basically avoided mixing them with work because of the bad things i heard
And exactly what you said happened
I didn't want to go into a big game dev company because of how disposable devs are sometimes treated
And I can't work on souless mobile trash either
u can defo find places where u can be happy and treat work as hobby for sure
But that's what most companies do here
just for me, i dont have another outlet, so when i loose that i aint got anything else
Maybe you should find another thing
I always liked the idea of having two hobbies/skills
i plan to go indi
Because if you don't do one you can do the other
i wanna get into 3d stuff more, but blender drives me nuts, i need to find something else
I like it, I'm just not good at it
the newer UI is worlds better
but still not enough for me, i still use sketchup cos of its simplicity
I got into blender because of vrchat and I love it now
I was using 3ds max before that and I'm very glad i got into bender
was thinking of getting into Maya
it was a hard transition also considering i was bad at max and that it's bloated ancient garbage on a subscription
yeah i hate the sub model
i'm a whole lot better at modelling now than i ever was
I'm not technically bad blender, i just feel bad because i have trouble finishing projects
max had a free student license but I would not recommend it. maya or blender it is
thats just dev things lmao i have hundreds of unfinished projects
yeah me too but it gets to you
what's the point of starting something if you'll likely just abandon it
at least it's sometimes fun in the process
i start new projects to lean new things
once i learned what i wanted too, it gets abandoned
i hate the boring samie parts
it's ususlly the opposite for me
i get stuck then i abandon
but i had usually practiced or learned something already at that point
so it's not a waste of time, but it's still a little disheartening
i can spend days or weeks doing somthing i rly shudnt be doing ^^;
i love doing dumb stuff
its my main motivation / drive
I get inspired by different games or music (or game osts) to make something similar, usually a world
Or by artwork i like
I start but very rarely finish
So confidence in own abilities is pretty low
:<
for me im just waiting for that 'one good idea'
and i will run to the hills with it
I have too many ideas sometimes, and they're too ambitious
Which isn't exactly uncommon, it sucks being limited by your skills
i feel like im the opposit
It does push you to try and fail tho, but failing also helps sometimes
Or find a solution
i like to make games that are highly configurable / low level with the OS, like protocol support, drag and drop etc
i keep hitting bugs where i have to get unity or steam to fix, rather annoying
my last project i have to replace the binary with a custom one
I'm too dum to make low level stuff

Yeah u finished projects are my forte, lol
Been trying to make a game with my friend now for like a year. We only have concept stuff done lol
Imagine
i have a question
yesterday i was able to use oculus menu and steam menu without making me mute and afk in vrchat
but now its doing it
how can i change?
it
yo Kung's VRC Team now? Congrats man!
Kung?
King Kung
They make wonderful tutorials.
Ok so I have vr chat on my pc and I can't afford an oculus quest, is there a cheap headset and control chucks I can get for my pc that'll give me the same experience
the Oculus Quest is literally the cheapest headset on the market
if it's helpful knowledge refurbished ones are on sale at Walmart for $200 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Oculus-Quest-2-Advanced-All-In-One-Virtual-Reality-Headset-64-GB-refurbished/612192172
Thanks
and you can also use vrchat Standalone on the headset if your PC is not quite up to the task

You gotta love Kung. It's, like, legally required at this point.
How can I love him... when I don't know him?
Who is kung? Musician?
anyone know how to fix steam VR not showing up in your actual VR headset? I'm on airlink and my game is only showing up as a desktop screen rather than actual VR
well I killed that discussion
what the fr*ck they changed the friends side tab on the vrchat website to have larger ui
OMG they made it infinite scroll YES
JUST noticed you can invite yourself to a firneds instance from the vrchat site on said updated friends bar
Is anyone on here or does anyone know someone who can help me edit an avatar?
Use ALVR, you're gonna have a better time,
but if you don't want to, you have to launch steamvr from the library tab once you're connected
launching steamvr once from your desktop screen while connected should add it there
If this world doesn't become popular i will be disappointed.The iron Giant is a masterpiece,favorite movie of my childhood https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_4028b433-34c8-4195-a787-42c133ac2e33
Hi
Hello
Hello
How you doing
Fine you?
same
Did u open the game through steam or steam vr
Oh someone already said that my b
later 2day shure
Dear VRChat,
Could you not indulge Facebook's attempts to take over/control of VR by way of direct Facebook integration, in any capacity, ever.
Please and thank you.
Sincerely, literally everyone else who cares about a good future for VR.
Hello I need help when I enter the game and spawn I just Froze, I take a few clicks forward after it just stops moving and it doesn't even notify me what's the problem? does anybody have the same problem too?
Facebook would not buy vrchat lmfao they got their shiny new metaverse to build(lmao) filled with nfts and boomers vrchat has a different vision than what meta has vrchat just ultimately wants to be a platform for creators to build and share virtual experiences in a social way whereas meta well they want to literally replace the internet and have their “metaverse” at the helm. Nobody on the vrchat team has ever mentioned partnering with meta or taking part in their metaverse, and don’t expect them to either.
Let’s be honest here roblox can probably make a better metaverse then Zuck once they get it on the quest 2 I bet he’s gonna try and buy it from them.
I'm not talking about Facebook buying VRChat. I'm talking about: https://docs.vrchat.com/v2021.4.2/docs/latest-release
"We've added support for a variety of Oculus/Meta social features!
There is now an expanded Rich Presence system on Oculus/Meta
Users in VRChat can send invites to Oculus/Meta friends that are online but not in VRChat"
While I'm sure Facebook would be more than happy to own the only really relevant social VR game thing in town, they care more about being the one stop shop everyone else has to answer to like Google is on mobile and Microsoft is on PC than anything else. And indulging them with any integration to anything networking of theirs is squarely how that happens.
That’s literally minor you know what rich presence is right? It’s like on discord when it displays what game you’re playing it’s gonna be like that except for the oculus social menu. It only makes sense since vrchat is on the quest platform why not utilize its features?
This does not equate to the vrchat developers spreading their cheeks for Facebook 
Yes, and I'm still a little miffed Discord likes to snoop at what it is I'm doing without asking. Yet another reason why I hate this place and wish it never became popular. "Rich presence" is not a good thing.
Boiling the frog in this sort of context is a very real phenomena, it would be better for all of us if absolutely no one outside of Facebook ever indulged them in anything they wanted, ever.
what
On discord you can just choose to not display it all and at the end of the day it’s up to the devs themselves to implement rich presence support for their game to discord via the discord developer portal so discord just provides the capability. Why are you so paranoid about rich presence and how does that even tie into vrchat supporting Facebook directly?
haai
They're two different sets of issues to start,
And saying "you can just choose to not display it", lel what? That's literally at the same tier as saying "Hey, we know literally everything you do, and by extension everything about you, but we promise we won't tell anyone you know so it's ok." What? No, just, how is that remotely a relevant or correct mindset to have?!
To be blunt, people need to care more about how and what faceless conglomerates do with silently data mining everything their users are doing, but through a fairly successful campaign of normalization, largely through the mobile market, s##ts given in the wider populace is seemingly met with utter apathy. Which is exactly how you get, well, a lot of the worst qualities of the modern age. Because you can't 'subtly' nuge large swaths of population without first knowing that populous to a T to be able to most effectively manipulate.
And yes, you are. If it was obvious, it wouldn't work.
Both of these a features that the user base wants. You are miffed over a feature that people have been begging for.
presence on discord is literally a core feature of the platform
also discord quite literally does not have your running application data unless you give it perms so that entire example is a terrible non fit
Dude what? I think you’re missing the point of what a profile is like when you play something it shows to your friends what you are playing so if they wanna hop in they can, etc this has literally been a feature since the old Xbox days lmfao
That's funny, because despite literally flipping all of the options for such to "off" the second I was dragged here (which I knew full well was a useless gesture, but hey, the thought is nice I guess), Discord still reports to me they know what software I'm running.
Maybe I'm a moron and didn't delve into registry keys or what not to shut things off properly, and I'd completely own up to that. But what a limited fraction of users do who care about such things in the face of the absolutely massive numbers of others who don't know/care about such things doesn't really matter. As long as they still get what they want from the apathetic overwhelming majority, they can appease the tiny number who would make a stink and keep on doing what they want to do with everyone else.
On a console, a closed ecosystem with nothing to gain aside from what could be gained from playing games, it's not as egregious. (Well, I say that, it's not as bad, but it's still not good. Thank you internet age...) But on a PC, you're doing a lot more than you ever would on a console. Potentially sensitive things that with enough knowledge collected over a long time can profile the kind of person you are quite succinctly.
don't use windows if you're gonna be paranoid like this lol
The website version is also an option or just flat out running the software in a sandbox mode
Yeah dude at this point just don’t use the service.
Not too sure on windows but i know there are plenty of ways to do so on linux like firejail discord
yo, anyone wanna play?
Like install Linux, stop using discord, etc.
-_-
Trust me, I would. But, because every one else flocks to this place, there's literally tons and tons of actual information for various things (example, modding resources for modding certain games) can only be found here.
And I would jump ship to Linux again, might do when I'm forced off of W10, but again, because everyone else uses it, there's a metric butt load of software that just won't work under Linux. It's getting better all of the time, but not quite there yet.
idk about you but 100% of my software works under linux 😄
I'm not so fortunate. I tend to use a fair amount of obscure one-man-on-github projects once in a blue moon for various things, and how well they work under Wine / have a native Linux version is spotty at best.
it doesn't work through steam VR for me
it just shows up as a regular desktop game
oh days hella strange
is you headset connected when you launch steam vr
I don’t use air link I use a link cable but do you click on the vr chat game on desktop while in the oculus desktop view or do you click on steam Vr
the steam VR version
wdym version
it's happening with another app too
on launch it says run as VR or desktop, I click VR
Oh I don’t do that
I click steam vr the desktop app
Then it opens to the steam be home in my headset
Then I go into games of steam while wearing the headset
how do I open hte steam VR desktop app?
And then open be chat
I'm not sure if I have it or not
Go into regular steam and search steam vr
Then download it
It should go yo ur desktop
in store?
Alright once it downloads ur gunna go to the same desktop view but click steam vr instead
alright
np then in steam vr ur gunna download vr chat again I think and Play it through that
alright
heck
hi
Hello
is there a way to have more then 3 "favorite friends group" in my friend menu?
not at the moment
I already do but they don't play
U good bro? Man's just asked a simple question. Looks like projecting to me
That literally had nothing to do with there question.
hi
why are you in the VRC discord if you have enough of a social life IRL to talk shit like this lol
VRCs selection of people is way better from my experience
"lol go outside and make friends" is not advice
that is you being a condescending ass
they dont just magically appear
It's "easiest" for anyone in education. School is where people socialize. adults have a harder time making friends.
Most people have their "kindness" overwritten by social conventions
nope

I made below 10 friends from I was born until I turned 18. It's not that I couldn't, the selection I had was just too poor
I have friends in VRChat. I plan to meet them in real life. It works out
would people care
If I die, my family would get my money, which is more than the funeral costs. I'm satisfied with not being a burden if it should happen
true it wouldnt be when I die lol
Indeed I don’t like that
No it's not. It's a manner of personal pride
I'm not going to stop VRChat lol


I'm not sure what you think you know about life, but I've found something that works for me, and I didn't have that before VRChat
if they enjoy it you cant really call it waste
and if they make connections that way
I don't like stupid people, gossip, trends, rumors, drama, and conformity for conformities sake
Spending time in vrc aint a waste, I made more friends here then I could have ever if I went outside and tried to make friends
its easier to make better connections than what most people have in their life circles
ye, its so much easier to make long lasting friendships online in games like vrc, then irl
despite that I still fail lol
Hey Darth my first time here too
Just be friendly and don't do stupid shit, and you'll make friends eventually x3
Visiting my friends and getting new VR gear in general is expensive, so VRC is forcing me to have a proper income.
I also want to make avatars and shaders and worlds, so I'm programming and things like that.
I hang out with foreigners and I'll admit that I could be better at socializing, so I'm studying languages and practicing communication
I agree you can learn a lot from vrchat!
like there are folks on vrchat who it's their whole day job now because they're making enough money selling vrchat content or patreon
It's different from having a MMORPG or Counter Strike addition. 10-15 years ago it wasn't all that desirable to be on the computer all day, but that's improving
The more technology advances the more and more people will need coding etc tech stuff
A lot of my friends have their own booth pages, it works out as long a paypal doesn't pull anything
I’m to lazy to type it all out you know what I mean
Intelligence can't be replaced by robots, so I'll be fine
Lol indeed iRobot movie
And for those who lack intelligence, most have social skills, and positive social interactions is another thing which can't be replaced
Well, it's not that they lack intelligence, it's just that their thinking is less rigid and mathematical, and more emotional. They also tend to be great at design
I'm learning 3D modeling so I'm keen on getting into avatar creation
Cool, good luck!
@tacit plank what are you programming?
VRChat uses something called Udon, and a person called Merlin made it so that we can program C# and have that C# code be turned into Udon scripts. So essentially I'm coding VRC worlds in C# now
Cool
Hey I need help with something
then describe the nature of your problem
So when I try to get in pc vrchat it says vrchat ran into a internal error
question are you on Windows 11?
Ya?
vrchat doesn't get along too well with Windows 11 at the moment
Oh
Some people don't have problems but I really don't know what makes your w11 different than others
There aren't any issues in VRC related to Windows 11 at least for me and my friend there aren't any
Yep have not experienced problems running vrc with windows 11
when in doubt, hard wipe all your drives and reinstall os
it works for me every time
except for the fact that now I indefinitely have broken ASUS drivers for my laptop keyboard because it came with some special partition wit who knows what and now its gone
W11 is shit lol. Well, in my eyes only XP and 7 were any good
That's what happens when one builds standards and expectations only to have years and years of degeneration.
Other people tend to recalibrate their standards, and in comparison all older tech savvy people will seem rigid and grumpy
10 is pretty decent
It's downright malicious and anti-user
You got me until the part where you said xp was good
It's malware, it doesn't care what the user wants, the updates will intentionally change your settings for the worse, the updates are forced and will often bring critical errors with them, you get no chances of saving your work. It's filled with ads and shovelware, it has "apps" like some xbox shit? And it launches itself and uses CPU time now and then for no apparent reason? It also treats you like a baby. "Windows crashed :( we will send your personal information to Microsoft, but fuck if we trust you enough to give you a proper error code"
XP did what I told it to, and I could set .gif files as background image, and it didn't crash very often
