Oh yeah, Happy Pride Month

Welcome to Stillwood. Enjoy the Brand New Asymmetrical Multiplayer Survival Horror Game in VRChat! Stillwoods Execution, Out Now in VRChat!

ah yeah my favorite part of blame, where cibo says "fat butt rodeo" seconds before shooting the president

"weird, why are there a bunch of chuds all wearing black on black with black snapbacks and busted miatas in front of Barnes and Noble 15 mins before it opens" "I have no idea, lemme try gpt"

Literal dumbass

Important update to Star Party! Key points below! -Starting July 9th/Vol. 86 of Star Party, the event will be performance gated to poor or better! -On May 31st 5PM CDT this month, we will be hosting an open-ended optimization workshop in the Star Party Discord for those needing help optimizing!

Just learned that during some performance profiling at Dieselworks, there were thirteen grab passes interrupting render That's 13 render interrupts _every single frame_ Do not use grab pass features like refraction (often used on glasses) on avatars you bring to events

I'm working on a new major VRC Light Volumes update! - Baked realtime shadows (very performant) - Animated cookies and cubemaps - Optimized area lights - No more legacy code - Almost full back compatibility with older light volumes shaders (excluding new shadows)

I want to say that it's genuinely insane to me that so few games get this right. A lot of purists have this thought that everyone just "gets over" VR sickness and you should just make your audience suffer. No!! Literally don't do that!!!

Never EVER let them tell you VR is just a fad. Photo was taken by the wonderful Ryder the Nova at Furry Weekend Atlanta's VRChat meetup.

I REDID A BUNCH OF SLIDES

What if I do it again a month later

i have an interview to do, the vrc meetup, a work meeting, and another meetup tomorrow so... staying up until 3 wandering through fwa parties is the smart move, right?

This has been in our Terms since November 2023. I explained it here. ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-...

im pretty sure @concretevr.bsky.social has my calendar because the only time they schedule dunes is when im traveling or have something planned

if you ever wonder if your product documentation is clear enough, no, it isn't it never, ever is

The avatar performance limiting in #VRChat is so good as I can now open Unity while at @sheltervr.club and not crash

The Shelter overflow I'm in has 92 people and I[m still at 40 FPS, which wild. The limiter works 100%.

FUUUCCCKKK GUYS READ THE TEXT 😭😭

thankfully most folks on bsky can read, but i can't say the same for reddit or twitter or in random discords, so here we go

use your eyes. read the text. read all the text. if you post without reading i WILL know and i WILL let the air out of your tires at 3am

So, VRChat Accessories are pretty cool

It's time for 2026.2.1! This is live on all platforms. This Release introduces Avatar Accessories, Avatar Performance Gating, and more. Read the patch notes below: docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-...

anyways we released accessories today

our development environment

pivoting vrchat community team into a development firm focused on creating a js library called `freddurstify`

because i know people in the VRC community are gonna start seeing red and shitting themselves violently when they see that Anthropic just gave Blender some cash: spend a minute box breathing, go listen to the birds for a sec, then read this

Jackal Scaling System OSC has been released! This new update completely reworks how the Jackal Scaling System works. There is also a new feature that lets you smoothly scale over a couple of seconds or even up to a couple of minutes! spacejackal.gumroad.com/l/JackalScaler #VRChat

and the video is out, please check it up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o_c...

to add: Don't push your camera way in when adjusting res! Try to imagine and view at the distance that you+others will actually be at in VR - often can go down a step in size with little perceived difference (due to mipmaps, etc) Image: color/normal tex @ 1k vs 2k (left/right) zoomed in/at distance

i should fork it

If you experienced an issue or a bug last night with Shelter's main instance regarding Avatar Performance Limits, PLEASE post a bug report to feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/ as soon as you can.

complaining about avatar perf feature is lame, I'm excited to learn how to optimize, I'm excited for perf limited events, and i'm excited for non perf limited events when everyone has their bells and whistles. This is a win win win for everyone, especially those who can't afford high end GPUs

Wow 100 people in shelter buttery smooth frames, no stutters, nobody hidden. Turns out everyone who said, "just don't show very poors and it's the same" was full of shit!

shelter main is running the perf gating tonight. it isn't out yet, but most folks are following the rules (and i built a notifier for those who are still in VPs) the result? 100 folks in the instance and this is the most frames i've had at shelter in like two years

I'm moving my DJ machine. I didn't lose my previous setup, but it's an opportunity for me to revamp my visuals a little bit. Anyone have any recommendations on simple "not too crazy" basic VJ shit I could set up? I have Nestdrop already, I'm thinking more like... what's ideal to default to?

stealing the BC2 idea

@2tdmusic.bsky.social every other saturday at 9:00 PM CST

One thing I find interesting is that despite seemingly the ENTIRE INDUSTRY trying to kill VR and make it seem as uncool as possible... VRChat has grown almost every month for almost eight years now and is among the top 25 most played things on Steam. Niche? Perhaps, but a big & hungry one.

I won't come look at myself using my personal mirror in your club anymore. (this is a threat)

"dude why do i have to optimize my avatar thats just not fa-" whatever bro say goodbye to your sins

On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is "fuck no, never" and 10 is "totally and completely safe", how safe are these Discord third party clients like Vencord, BD, etc Asking for context setting and risk management rather than personal use, I'd never use them myself

There will always be a "im so close to poor" argument. Example I think if they bumped tris to 100k, after like 3 years when the "newness" wears off / when new players start to fill out the platform people will start going "100k is too low, im only over by a little, we need to raise it" 2/2
