Since you're in a furry chat environment you can look around and do you see any furries that are guns or beans? Or if someone seems to know what's up ask them.

Every time I get curious about vrchat I go watch videos and stuff and it always looks really fun but also like it’s probably some kind of personality derangement machine so I have yet to strap one of those things to my face. Am I missing out?

IT WASP ME ALL *BZZT* ALONG!


I always feel compelled to dress up in a trench coat, a broad rimmed hat and shades whenever I must pass throughout the furry part of the internet (not forgetting my handy "please don't interact with me" sign) which is a hassle but there's that amazingly good taco place on the other side of the zone so I can't complain.

Is there any way to hook the forums up to this? I think it would really improve my posting experience

there are various tools that allow you to open virtual windows inside VR so you can continue doing stuff on your desktop/browser/etc while being some weird rear end thing

so you could post to the forums while pretending to be a three foot tall sparkledog gremlin thing

I played a catboy in a video game once (FFXIV, good game) and people mock me for it on occasion but I don't care, the gently caress do they know anyway? William Henry Hairytaint isn't even my real name. I'm immune to their taunts and I know that deep down they're just insecure because they really wanted to be a professional baseball player or an air traffic controller or

I still think the reason facebooks metaverse project failed so hard is that they decided not to pander to furries. Everyone had to be an uncanny crotchless human avatar.

Look at second life, made in 2004 and incredibly jank but it is still earning the company money nearly two decades later by fully embracing all the weird internet subcultures.

VR Chat was a fun distraction during the early days of Covid during lockdowns when all there was to do was get hammered in my apartment in the evenings. But its hard to find anyone approaching normal to talk to, and you can only talk to loving weirdos for so long. Once in awhile you'd run into someone cool, like the guy who was a muscian in real life so was just creating weird mix stuff while on there.

It's mostly furries tho, so you should fit right in OP.

Imagine if you will spawning into a public place. Your ears pick up the distant murmurs of conversations of "why lackidasy is better than mao mao" as your eyes adjust to a brightly colored big tiddy anime catgirl prefab that you've seen in a dozen other worlds. A small motion catches tour attention at the edge of your peripheral vision. Past the giant ad for a erp vrchat group you see them. They're all overly "attractive" avatars, focuses on either big busts, big butts, or svelte forms of anime or furry creatures. Its hard to say as you can only see them from behind. They say nothing, but do seem active, as they shift in their full body tracking from time to time. They're just staring at a wall... together.

Curiosity peaked, you wonder past the large bilboard ad on finding a date in vrchat to get closer. You see the tiny indicator on the far side of the wall these beings are engrossed with. The button is almost hidden, but you see it- there is a mirror on the wall. You turn it on to see if there is something these creatures see that you don't, but as the reflection pops on and the sound of your gpu kicks on to struggle that 12fps output of poorly optimized mesh and materials, you are aware that they...are staring only at themselves. They are in a public place, and choose to only mindlessly gaze into the abyss of their own cleavage.

That is the mirror dwellers.

Seriously this was one of the more surprising things when I came across strangers instead of people I was previously friends with. They all sit in front of a mirror completely still. They must be on virtual desktop or something, but it's a super weird dynamic of being idle on VR and slightly self-conscious while self-assuring that you look correct in the mirror.

It's the humans too. Most of my friends from Altspace now have homie and big booty avatars. It was surprising pretty much all the women I knew unanimously use ridiculously thick boob/butt avatars with jiggle physics.

I guess it’s like asking what the point of life is, but for me it’s to hang out, talk, have fun rides on vehicles, rockets, use props, and watch old 80/90s movies like Cheese & Chong, Cool World, etc.

That's pretty cool IMO. I guess I've never gotten into social games, but I've also never tried. Regardless, they clearly click with a lot of people so it's cool to see them continue to get development attention.

I never thought I would. I got VR because I was interested in having whatever kinds of displays for work, and to use Tilt Brush after I demoed it in a gallery. Now all I do is social VR, and Among Us VR, which is also very much social.

Also, I am not really into VR that takes physical effort… but looking around and feeling like you are in the environment is essential to me.

unironically

it kinda does

it absolutely does hosed up things with your brain to see your movements translate almost 1:1 to a virtual model as you're staring into a mirror, and depending on how easy it is for you to immerse yourself in the fantasy it quickly becomes just like... natural. even moreso if you find/make/commission a model that you feel 'fits' you and your idealized aesthetic
there's even a whole phenomena about 'phantom touch' where the simulation is somehow just realistic enough, that if someone does something like stick their hand near your face, you actually feel a weird sensation on your face like there is someone's hand just hovering over it. obviously stuff like more involved body contact/nonvisible stuff/etc doesn't do anything, that's just people more or less roleplaying, but the fact that you do get weird stuff like that is like insane but also spooky as hell

Canine Blues Arooo posted:

It's a more involved version of hanging out in a Discord call or stuff like that, basically. A lot of the time people don't even 'do' anything besides hang out - usually in various states of intoxication from booze or weed (or other stuff), lying on their bed/couch/whatever, and just shooting the poo poo.

honestly 90% of the VRC things I've been to usually end up looking like an opium den by the end, if they weren't already like that from the beginning

There are also tons of full on games in VRC, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9T5Pdwe2q8 , but because that takes actual physical exertion effort to play you don't see those quite as often

e; also like, the whole positional audio stuff is freakishly immersive too. you can be in a room full of people but you want to have a conversation with just one or two people, and you can just like. walk away from the main crowd into another room and just chat and vibe in your own little virtual semi-private space, still hearing the rest of the crowd but muffled because they're behind walls or far away from you.

I attended a few VR raves during the pandemic and may go again someday, I saw a few decent sets.

I was also kinda interested in a chess world.

My favorite world for no apparent reason is a Danny devito always sunny acid trip world.
