Finally got myself a 6DOF mouse to make world work a bit easier ... just one issue: For some reason @vrchat.com always sees a scroll-up input in the UI even when the mouse is off and disabled for VRC in software. It's the only application that does this and I'm confused as hell.

#MikuExperienceVR is looking to expand! Roles: DMX artists (light shows) 2D artists (promo) 3D artists (props) Environment Artists (Unity, not VRC) If you're interested join the #Miku Experience Discord discord.gg/6zwUspdn Due to to the non-commercial nature we can't pay

I'd say I'm disappointed but tbh this is practically what I expected (and been saying for months). A Quest competitor rather than something for die hard VR users. Will absolutely get myself a new Steam Controller though. Loved the old one but the lack of sticks made it annoying as a daily driver.

tbh lately I've really been missing running events ... despite the burnout ...

BLUESKY GIVEAWAY: - 1 Bigscreen Beyond 2e: @vrchat.com Edition (no 10 years of VRC+, sorry). As long as Bigscreen can ship to you, you're eligible. RULES: - must be following me on Bluesky - must RT this post you must be comfortable with me ordering it for you!

I'm still thinking about my friend ObseqV4. He passed away a year ago today. He's made such an impact on my life and rekindled my love for music. I'm so glad to have met him. Love you buddy and I miss you. ObseqV4ever ❤️🔋

I feel complete again ... I'm the proud owner of an air fryer ... after my last one blew up

I've had actual arguments with people about "Separating art from the artist." There's no separating this. Like Idk what to tell you, but trans people should be more important to you than like dobby the elf or whatever

Well got disconnected for "VRC is not responding" 4 times over the course of 30 minutes. Big fan of how stable everything is. At this points is either disconnects or 1 FPS IK.

Not even a hot take. If I watch you call trans fems bro. Then say some shit like “I call all my women friends bro” A: idc fuck you B: if I watch you not call your cis fem friends bro I’m throat punching you

Well my air fryer just yeeted itself into the after life. Well ... I guess my new unique quirk is wanting an air fryer but not buying one 😭

I guess this is what you call a well timed power move ...

I love Steam VR

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Discord's UI department clearly had fun drinking and rolling dice for the various sizes for their new design. Nothing aligns, nothing is the same size and everything is spaced different. Fun.

Soo it's been over two months since I stopped drinking ... and I've been out of the party scene for about the same amount of time. I really don't know whether it's just me but I've really not been feeling welcome since. Every time I attempt to get back into it, I just feel like an outsider.

Seems like even duckduckgo has fallen to the AI slob now. If I search for "<technology> <thing I want to do>" it either ignores the tech I want to use (often returning a competing solution) or the thing I want to do ... neither of those result sets is useful. GG

I just released my first hangout focused world since 2023 to my Patreon folks! It's called serenity: Wireframe and will be available to everyone soonish. Here's a little preview! WorldId is available over at www.patreon.com/posts/world-... #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

Nice to randomly see my worlds pop up in my social tab more often recently ... even though every time I join these lobbies I feel like they're not good enough and I need to put in way more effort ...

Well ... Every single fan on my ASRock Threadripper board has gone bad. The first one died a month or two in. The second just perished 3 years later. Not sure about that build quality ...

Bit of a bummer that the #VRChat yt-dlp seems to always be just behind enough for me to have like a 25% chance of being able to watch a video. Haven't been able to exist in a lobby without going "I can't see that" since around Christmas.

I maaaaay need to figure out a better menu system soon though ...

simply: Lounge will also get a small update today to improve the photosensitive UI a little bit (basically include all the changes I've made in Factory).

Smol update to simply: Factory which introduces a new experimental motion reduced mode, photosensitive + admin + user toggles. Motion reduced is something I meant to write ages ago. Give it a go with your videos! vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

Last one for now, I swear! I've also introduced an epilepsy/photosensitive preset to simply: Lounge. Goal is to add a variation of this to all my venues. vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

Another few updates for simply: Lounge! - Added venue themes (pick a color) - Added AreaLit and screen toggles - Improved lava lamp lights (Desktop only) vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

Tonight starting at 9pmET! See you all under the skies! It's gonna be a melty good time! 🫶🐰

Soooo theoretically speaking ... if I was searching for someone to draw some cute chibi versions of my avatar in various poses, who would I talk to these days? 🤔

I swear my jetBrains IDEs have gotten way worse ever since they introduced AI support. It used to be that autocompletes + generated code respected your inspections (for instance always qualify with "this"). It no longer does this. One step forward, 200 back. And the suggestions still suck.

Another set of quick updates for simply: Lounge: Replaced all shaders with custom quest compatible implementations to get the experience way closer to the PC version. vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

Quick updates for simply: Lounge: - New "mood" setting (Dynamic avatar lights) - New toggle for avatar performance rank gate - Fixed dynamic permission system - Reintroduced window lights - Fixed near clip distance vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

I've also ended up implementing a prefab/package friendly variation of EasyQuestSwitch in the process of making my newest world. If I can figure out the editor scripting to make it a little less jarring to work with, I might end up releasing it. God I hate editor scripting tho.

I'm happy to announce the public release of my newest venue: simply: Lounge! This is a faithful re-creation of the simplicity venue "Lounge 2.0" and the perfect world for more relaxed events! vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

I also didn't forget to include the neon lamp effects ... even though I'm tempted to include a small smoothing function for these.

Nearly ready for prime time ... Thinking about adding an optional secondary floor for less flashy events though ....

Well it's that time again. Today I've released the first pre-release build of simply: Lounge - a remake of the iconic simplicity venue "Lounge 2.0". Now available early to my Patreon and Ko-fi supporters. Soon available publicly! #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

I just released an Android compatible build of simply: Factory Debating adding compatible versions for my other simply worlds as well where possible since I now have the ability to actually test them myself ... vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat #VRChatWorld #VRChat_world紹介 #MadeWithVRChat

Moooar event photos! qt gang this time around ... #VRChat #VRChatPhotography

You can pry my spatialized audio from my cold dead hands. Truth is 99% of people don't even notice that my worlds have it. You don't hate spatialized audio. You hate BAD spatialized audio.

Some highlights from CRESCENDO last night. Full dump of all photos is on their & my Discord. #VRChat #VRChatPhotography

今日、EBFでかわいい写真を撮った！ #VRChat #VRChatPhotography

今日、ゾメちゃんミーティングに行った。 私のかわいいバージョンがいっぱい。 悲しいことに、私は誰とも話せるほど日本語を話せなかった。 #VRChat

"This person will happily vote to wipe me and my friends out of existence so I'm going to stop supporting them" is a stance motivated by common sense, self-respect and a fundamental compassion for human life. No hate required. Hate's so messy. Also you're drunk so: Cheers, let's dance 🍻

Yet another #VRChat world pre-release ... Not really sure how to describe this one ... and it's still very much in flux. It'll be the first "hangout" world I've worked on in 1.5 years ...

Working on a public version of Quaternion (aka the @simplicityvr.club dome) but it seems like I should take some liberties with this version for the sake of optimization. The trusses in the original version eat up around 500k polys alone ... 💀

Smol changes for simply: Rooftop - Apparently the screens were a bit blurry in some cases. I've reworked the UVs so they should be a lot clearer now. Also a few smaller bits and bobs. vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat #VRChat_world紹介

Another fun #vrchat one. Got kicked for "unusual client behavior"? What is that even supposed to mean?
