/vrg/ - Virtual Reality General #1474

you should have let it die

>>441005386 (OP)
I really would like to try Virtuality out one day

>>441005479
I only just got my headset, this general should stay for at least a couple more threads before I lose interest

>>441005592
Nice. Play Outer wilds in vr

Now that the thread is fresh and new, what is a good avatar base with preexisting clothes and features?

>>441005521
You can try out Furality instead. The VRChat team really wants you to.

>>441005947
I was talking about the headset in the OP

Welcome back racer!
EU Assetto Corsa: European Racing club, season 8!
Race 54.

18:00 UTC 20:00 CET, Monday 7th of August.

Commieblock racing! Tuned Ladas in Belgrade!

This legendary race, held on the streets of Belgrade since late 1960s, in the park on the confluence of two mighty rivers, has always been a high point in the calendar for it's prestige.. The "Monaco" of Yugoslavia. The track is tight and features high curbs and fast corners..

The track is infamous for it's danger. Barely allowed by FIA, safety levels were questionable and criticized throughout almost all the races held, which culminated in 2005 after unfortunate events, eventually kicking it off from the calendar for almost ten years.

1 hour practice
12 minutes qualifiers
15 lap race

After race: celebrating italian automotoindustry in Targa Florio!

For communication we'll use mumble at voice.vrg.party port 64738, as it doesn't need any registrations or logins.

Selestia is probably still the current flavor of the month booth.

Play mahjong

>>441005947
when are we ditching this pozzed platform and going to something else like cvr or neos

>>441005647
I've already played that sadly so I can't imagine it'll be as magical, though I can imagine it being utterly horrifying in some places.

Holy SOUL. It's like I warped back to 2007 (and I like it)

>>441006118
I know, and I'm talking about Furality.
You're going to watch Tupper's presentation right?

>>441006328
If you haven't played the DLC that's a good candidate. If still... definitely consider booting it up and checking out the planets. Even if the game itself is spoiled you can still fly around and look at things.

>>441006424
No.
I will play walkabout mini golf

>>441006424
tuppy!

>>441006246
I hope we don't, I like vrc

>>441006429
Oh, that's a good point, I never did try the DLC.

>>441006331
Amazing

>>441006331
this looks fun, how close to tf2 is it?

>>441005678
CUTE! Wait, why is she naked?

>>441009061
clothes probably arent done being modeled yet

>>441008592
Class mechanics seems to be 1:1. Only missing the Spy and the only weird thing I've found so far are medics healing you feels like getting blasted with bullets instead of the soothing healing beam sounds.
You get multiple weapon choices for class loadouts but I'm a classic fag so I don't really use them. I've only seen payload maps so far. Not sure if there's 5cp ones but the PL ones work very well. Push kart, get ammo and healed. All of that works. It really feels like playing the original game.

>>441009231
Is this through contractors? Looks like a lot of fun, luv me some tf2

>>441005947
all furries must hang.

>>441006246
CVR and Neos probably have even more furries per capita.

>>441011434
I don't care about the furries. It's the degenerates that are the issue

>>441011539
I've got a good feeling it's still higher per capita over there for degenerates too.

>>441005947
I'd fuck the panda

>>441011806
Would you fuck this thing?

>>441005947
I'm genuinely jealous of all the furry avatars. So many high-quality male options while high-quality non-furry males are either anime high-schoolers or jacked as fuck e-boys.

>>441012125
>So many high-quality male options
you serious with this scooby-doo shit?

>>441012313
There are a shit ton of awful ones too but by sheer numbers there are a lot of great ones too.

>>441012095
My standards may be low but not that low

i'd ask you to post an example but im already tired of looking at these faggot animals.

If he wasn't completely nude and furries didn't exist I would unironically use this avatar.

>>441015304
bro out here lookin like bambi's dad

Last night we had an EU jacbkox testing instance, it went pretty well and no delay at all !!

>>441015304

>>441018779
i miss when haloboys did VR jackbox every 2 weeks
then they moved it all to discord VC instead :(

>>441012125
>Male Furries
Disgusting. This community whacks it to Human Male on Female Furry pairings exclusively.

>>441019592
That entire community mostly moved to discord

>>441020319
yeah i know, it's pretty sad.

>>441020421
On one hand it's sad, on the other hand if they moved to Discord they stopped being worthwhile anyway
They got too self-important and turned into just another frat group

okay this is as fun as I hoped it would be

>>441020319
what's the link to the discord?

>>441020739
H3VR's gun handling is some of the worst jank. The decision to implement things like safeties is fucking retarded on most firearms that you'd never visually check but instead check via tactile feeling of it's position. The lack of a virtual stock is also completely retarded in a game that sells itself about gun autism. Unironically Pavlov's gun handling is far better and I enjoy shooting on the target range there far more then H3 even with it's much more limited choice of weapons, which actually doesn't matter since there's no functional difference between the fifty billion AK/AR variants in H3.

>>441021224
The 'tactile safety' problem can be resolved by using a different sound for each fire mode. Contractors used to use low/med/high pitched click for single, burst, and auto. It does have virtual stock, by the way.

>>441021554
I was unable to find it in the settings last time I played, but I could be retarded. I do stand by H3's gun handling being some of the worst in VR FPS games that have anything resembling an audience, though. Pumping a shotgun or working the bolt both just don't feel smooth as they should, and reloading anything that's not magazine fed is a clusterfuck of having to stare at it to make sure the shell goes into the gun fully. The inventory system is also terrible, and Take and Hold is less of a challenge of shooting properly then it is of avoiding running out of bullets because your inventory space is so heavily limited and mags are as expensive as a new gun, which is a shame since I'd love a good procedural Rogue-like FPS.

>>441022601
>I'd love a good procedural Rogue-like FPS.
Don't we all
I'm making one but I don't know if it'll ever be finished, I had much more free time as a NEET

>>441021224
>>441022601
Huh, I might check out Pavlov as well in that case. I'll play some more H3VR in the meantime and make the most of it, all the different firearms being available is very pleasing.
Gonna try a bird game next.

Definitely going to get a powerbank for this thing then. Any recommendations or any will do?

>>441005947

>>440995517 (Cross-thread)
if you find it let me know
i've given up

>people told me this is better than Alyx
You've got to be joking. I love flat HL2 but the game isn't balanced for VR and has a ton of anti-fun VR mechanics like trying to jump on pieces of wood floating in the water. That was already borderline unfun in flat but in VR all those platforming puzzles are just a pain in the ass. Good mod, just not better than the original, or Alyx. Not meant to be a VR game

>>441038546
People say that because it has less "babymode 2018 VR" mechanics. HL2 is a solid shooter by itself and the VR version is just a port of that.
Some of the platforming in VR can go fuck itself, but HL2VR is more engaging than Alyx. Alyx is fun and definitely works better in VR, but it suffers from slow movement, slow combat with too few enemies, and too much "scripting" behind the scenes.
Like ammo spawns being tailored to always give you the ammo you're the lowest on (and not spawning when you have more than a certain amount), or your very last bullet somehow always conveniently juust killing that one last enemy, creating a false sense of ammo scarcity when there actually is none.
HL Alyx was tailored to be an "experience" more than a classic game.

>>441034353
Be careful about ones with multiple charging ports. Often they'll be advertised at a particular wattage (you need to look for one that can handle your headset, cheap cell phone ones often don't) but split it across all outputs and a single output won't provide the full amount even with nothing else plugged in.

>>441039057
>Like ammo spawns being tailored to always give you the ammo you're the lowest on
Bro did we play the same mod? The director dropped health like at 10x the normal rate of the flat mode one.

>>441021224
filtered

>>441039057
>suffers from slow movement, slow combat
Suffers? At the speeds I'm going in HL2 VR I have very little immersion left, and I'm standing up. Alyx is immersive because it's slower paced and everything feels more grounded.

>>441037076
>that tiny play space

>>441039057
>very last bullet somehow always conveniently juust killing that one last enemy, creating a false sense of ammo scarcity when there actually is none
Bullshit, I ran out of ammo many times in Alyx. It probably spawns somewhere in the level if you're at zero, but that's still a challenge during a firefight, you're acting as if someone goes BOOKER CATCH and gives you free ammo to save your ass

>>441012095
rex are staple food at this point

>>441040257
Yeah, it's not great. I've got a sofa bed in this room I could potentially get rid of but it's still pretty narrow. Have accidentally smacked my hands on the walls a couple of times.
Still good fun though - trying to see what good seated VR games there might be, like simulators and the like.

I was talking about HL Alyx having scripted ammo spawns, maybe I didn't make that clear enough
The VR mod for Half-Life 2 shouldn't change anything about ammo drops, they didn't really change anything about the core game mechanics. HL2 has always had ammo be rather plentiful especially if you just look around and explore side areas a bit. Enemies are spongier on higher difficulties which eats up more ammo, maybe you played the VR version on Normal but flat on Hard?
>>441040453
It only really matters during a firefight, you usually get almost all your ammo back directly afterwards. The levels have tons of spawn points for ammo and these are dynamically adjusted depending on how much you currently have.
Try using only the handgun for instance, you will almost never find shotgun or rifle ammo as long as those 2 guns are above a certain threshold.

>>441040453
There's fuckton of ammo spawns on the map and the map director in alyx will remove them depending on your current reserves. I don't think I've held more 9 shotgun shells at a time.
It's such shit design.

>>441040702
I was aware you were talking about alyx and I was making the comparison that the director defiantly was different between flat and vr. Maybe i gotta go do a side by side comparison now.

also, what's "the best" vr headset to save up for?

>>441044803
if you're saving up and want to wait, may as well see how bigscreen beyond turns out when people start getting their units.

>>441044803
Doesn't exist.
Varjos are alright, I guess.

>>441044803
if you want to be able to upgrade in the future, index so you can get base stations and knuckles. otherwise wait for quest 3

How big should a bounding box be?

I thought all it needs to encompass is the extent of the actual mesh, but a few people have told me that at some angles my face disappears to them.
The face mesh seems to be entirely within the bounding box (white box), though.

>>441045030
Knuckles are obsolete.
Index is obsolete too.

>>441045210
if in doubt, make it larger

>>441045234
far from obsolete, i moved to the quest pro but miss using knuckles

This is all true, but they're still the least bad Lighthouse compatible controllers.

What's /vrg/'s picks for racing sims?

>>441045210
I had issues even when I doubled the size of the box. Now I just go way overboard and set all meshes to 1 1 1 which makes a huge box around the avatar.

Dirt Rally 2 and Assetto Corsa Ultimate

>>441048463
NOOOOOOO
Use me n doggo's shader ill add whatever feature you want ;-;

>>441045210
Just set the centre of every mesh to 0,0,0 and then the extents to 1,1,1. Having every mesh have the exact same bounding box means nothing phases out of reality from the corner of the eye or weird shit like that.

I also advise setting your anchor points a little higher in some cases. I usually have mine at the spine, but for a model like yours, that might be the chest. Since that's all set in the same tab.

>>441041528
Alright the face is fucked both otherwise would

How many belts is too many?

It adds like... 1kb to ur model

>>441051137
never too many

>>441049098

>>441029438
Whelp, I'm gonna be watching the newest John Wick Movie with my bros and that is 2 hours and 49 minutes long. My bros are going to be getting a late start so my original "pre-show meet and greet" may be cutting it a little close for me to arrive at 10pm EST on the dot. I'll try to wrap up with them as soon as I can to get the preshow meet and greet together before the game kicks off at 11pm EST. If you join in at 11pm, I can try to accommodate you, but I may have to cut corners in terms of rule explanation, getting to know your name, and other technical bullshit.

I'm assuming through mods? Is there a dummies guide for it all or just google

>>441059805
Assetto Corsa, Shutoko Revival Project servers with traffic. Highest tier japanese night driving kino

>>441061004
Download Content Manager, it's an alternative launcher to assetto simulation module. From that, just mix and match whatever you find appealing online, mods are usually drag and drop basic folder structures. If you'll want traffic though, you might need to join one of online servers that run traffic bot cars.

From nice maps to cruise around on, I'd recommend Lake Louise, Matsugadake, C2 loop, mandatory Akina.

>I was unable to find it in the settings last time I played, but I could be retarded.

Yeah, you're a retard. It's had Virtual Stock option since 2018 and it's not even hidden in some weird config or side menu, literally one of the main options menus.

I am bad at this

You guys are cool thanks heaps.

Anyone got any experience with building a Sim race cockpit? I'm thinking just throwing some timber together with an old office chair, seems straightforward enough, thought I'd ask if anyone's got any tips

>>441066686
kind of bad to ask here, the people who play the VR race sims say shit like "either buy a full racing cockpit with full FFB or don't play the game at all"

>>441066686
Wheels need to be properly mounted to a desk, same with the shifter. Going full cockpit is a bit of a meme but if it's what you're going for you might as well. VR is kind of enough to make up for the difference though.

>>441066686
cockpit, as in recreation of car's interior, or do you just mean seat with a mounting points for wheel and pedals?

most people just slap it on desk and put something underneath the office chair wheels to lock them in place

>>441066993
>full ffb
every wheel except for literal $30 toys has full ffb, not sure what you're even trying to say

>>441066686
I know someone here built their own rig and stuck a chair in it, supposedly works fine. As long as it's sturdy enough to mount your wheel to without it moving around that should be fine.
>>441066993
You don't need a cockpit, but most sims don't control well without a wheel that has FFB. It's way more important than VR for sims.

>>441047107
Richards Burns Rally is amazing on VR, and its suspension simulation is better than Assetto by far, also constant online events so you don't fall for the hotlap meme

Threadly Dirt Rally 2.0 reminder, we're currently running Group A in Finland. This event ends tomorrow, so get your runs in now if you haven't. Club link is in the OP if you need it.

>>441069041
I meant the seat itself with ffb, dipwad.

But PLEASE, please, show me a wheel with ffb I can buy for less than 100 USD. Let me guess: You're going to suggest some model that isn't sold any more and you can only buy secondhand on ebay covered in gunk and missing parts with a 60 dollar shipping cost.

Also worth mentioning the racing sim bundle going on right now. It's not worth it if you only want Assetto Ultimate Edition, but if any of the other games interest you it's worth a shot.
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/ultimate-racing-sim-bundle-victory-lap

can someone give me their assetto corsa settings?
mine looks like shit even running it at 2500x2500 on my quest 2

Good idea, but how many? You should have like 2 backups for EU and 2+ for NA
Preferably people with a good track record of killing randos and people who are willing to interrogate the randos and not just dishing them out without asking

There's nothing that can fix that, you just have to get used to it or wait for 16k headsets

>>441081669
>who are willing to interrogate the randos and not just dishing them out without asking
This is very important. A single innocent kicked out is a tragedy.
Looking out for our 4chan brethren and comfy is paramount.

Right now there are 2 extra jannies for NA, 1 for EU and no extra for SEA.
Do you think we should increase it more? Everyone will be able to see already a kick request

I'll add a system to know if someone is in the interrogation room so each jannie would know if someone's already taking care of the kick request.
This should prevent unnecessary confusion.

>>441081692
Could always try turning up the rendering resolution in SteamVR more if your hardware is strong enough for it. Not sure how it works with the resolution for whatever you're using to stream it to your Quest 2, but maybe it's set too low on the SteamVR side.

>>441081969
I've heard really good things about Levitation.

>Do you think we should increase it more?
If they are backups, then yes, I think having one more per timezone might be a good idea.
They can just step in if it's necessary.

Pre-show meetup to get people sorted. I was going to use a different world but I figured I might as well start where we'll finish.
>you're 30 minutes late!
John Wick ran a little long, as expected. Anyway, the actual game won't start until 11 anyway. This is just to get people oriented and say hello. Say hello if ye can. If I messed up the link, lemme know, this is my first attempt using one.
>https://vrch.at/xyrye3mj
Sadly the room doesn't have any music so you may want to have your own music in the background. Just make sure if you're playing you can hear everything clearly.

>>441085547
Good luck on the game. Fate has prevented me from joining so you better record it so I can watch later!

i wish snowrunners was in VR, this game is so FUCKING comfy and is so much better and more fleshed out than i ever imagined

>>441081692
i play with AC set to like 130% render resolution and no MSAA and it looks better than with MSAA IIRC
remember you can set the render resolution on a per game basis so that it always goes back to the same thing automatically

Expected golf at midnight for those who are interested

It feels like fewer and fewer oldfags are getting on these days. Why is that?

>>441083445
Aight. I'll see if I can contact a few more to help out moderating then. I'm a bit stretched thing already though so if any of you guys want to help out moderating just contact me.
Do note though if any anon complains on the thread that you kicked them out you're out of the moderation team.

>>441090819
>valve index weighs 1.8 pounds
>bigscreen beyond weighs 30% of a pound
damn it would feel so much better golfing without that extra weight which converts to like an extra fucking 15 pounds on your spine when looking downwards
this is the main reason i dont join golf more, looking down with that extra weight especially fucks me up, i need to do more yoga i guess
i am so gonna buy a bigscreen beyond or whatever best lightweight headset exists when i feel i have the money

>>441091070
As an oldfag I feel like I am mostly tapped out on building more relationships with people. I can barely keep up maintaining with what I have now. Aside from events I barely get to meet new people now.
My time is better used now on maintaining current friendships when possible and doing other things than socializing.

>>441091643
like what? BG3 is only big budget flatscreen game to come out in the past year or more that seems worth a single fuck but i havent gotten very far

>>441092139
ac6 and possible er dlc

>>441091070
Every time an oldfag leaves three /trash/fags and spoonfed randos replace them which prompts more to leave.

>>441091070
people would rather sit in vc/terminally exist in discord and chat while they do other things. it's probably just that simple.

>>441092139

>>441096341
depends on your budget

>>441096341
Depends on what you're trying to do with it.

Expected golf in walkabout minigolf
Lobby name: vrg

>>441092139
On a tangential note, are there any good VR RPGs that can give me a similar experience to the new Baldur's Gate so I can ignore my friends talking about it? Think lots of content, big story, different builds, unique companions with their own stories, creative solutions to solve quests and explore rather than it being a mindless hack and slash, and no GAAS or mandatory online shit. I just want an big RPG adventure like that but not on a flat screen.

>>441091070
Pandemic is over, the oldfags and their vrbfs can hang out IRL without dealing with the rabble now.

>>441096805
Skyrim VR

>>441096393
call it 200usd. I threw together an entry level pc in 2020 and I'm eyeing a new GPU but the money isn't there yet.
>>441096457
Off the top of my head, vrchat, skyrim, Alyx, beat saber and virtual tourism stuff/3D concerts. And whatever else you all do together in these threads.

>>441096341
>>441098619
as long as you have a good computer and a decent wifi 6 router in the same room

>>441098619
If you end up wanting to do FBT stuff for VRC that could be a pain, but it should be fine for everything else. You're going to need a decent PC to use it for anything but standalone games though.

>If you end up wanting to do FBT stuff for VRC
cringe

>>441096341
No. I use mine for some standalone games. But the latency sucks and is finnicky. I can't hit any of the notes in Beat Saber or Ragnarock. And yes I do play those with my friends and I'm not rebuying them when I already have the Steam versions. The compression sucks too. It makes all of the fog in Into The Radius look really bad. The drift with FBT is awful too. My legs are always offset from where they are, so it always looks like I'm tilting my hip and that can change when I turn around.

>>441097629
Everyone played that game 10 years ago though.

Can I play with you guys if im on Desktop?

>>441099567
Install one of the big overhaul mods to play it in VR. It's worth it.
Lots of new quests

>>441099902
You have to be useful and a very creative fella to do this.
Making new avatars, worlds and performances.
Or just be an extremely good conversationalist that can liven a room up.

If you aren't any of the above then you're fucked as a desktopper and you will be scorned and treated less than furniture.

>>441096683

>>441098970
Still rockin the good ol' R5 3600 and 1660 super combo in 2023 (picrel). I'm content being cabled for the time being, but I will invest in a router and better gpusoon enough.
>>441099149
Right now I'm content with just the idea of being able to move my arms. I play desktop atm, and while it's fun meeting people, the controls just feel limiting. I'll save the full dive stuff for when I've got a career and my own place.
>>441099297
Damn, that sounds rough. What's your setup like?

>>441096805
RFVR is very rough but that's about the only proper CRPG in existence for VR. I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for it as it is now.

>>441099902
No. Desktoppers are generally considered unwelcome, sorry.

just two old war buddies putting everything behind them to rekindle... i wanna go back to better days.

>>441085547
Thanks for hosting! It was fun!
>>441102920
I used my Q2 on a R5 2600X and a RX580 until about three months ago and it was alright, run it wired since I don't have a wifi6 router. I only choked on VKet worlds. Your setup should be fine for what you want, especially if you're already planning to upgrade.

Quiz show night was...decent. Even though Kamen Rider blew everyone out of the water we had fun. I burnt through a lot of my trivia questions so I'll need to add more for future games for sure.
>Got enough questions for next time?
Honestly no, not unless I recycle stuff from this session. If you think you might be interested in helping me come up with some, lemme know. Balancing question difficulty can be tricky but I tried to keep a general consistent difficulty with questions from all media. Of course the better you are at general trivia knowledge the better you'll do.
>How well did people answer questions?
Video game stuff was hit or miss depending on the player. TV stuff was mostly ruled over by Kamen Rider. Anime was surprisingly hard for most players. We need a dedicated /a/ nerd to represent the weeb trivia I think. Kamen Rider was mostly good for Gundam and Dragon Ball. Reploidsham was pretty good with various vidya stuff, particularly Metroid Trivia. Cowtits and Pomfwall tried, but I don't think they could keep up with Kamen Rider.

Everyone had a good time I think. That's always good. Even if you could only stay for a few questions, thanks for stopping by. I may try again for next Saturday, but we may have to use the generic questions that come with the world. They're okay, but they wouldn't focus on vidya, anime, and TV stuff of course.
>>441105175
I always like talking about obscure nerd stuff. Fun times indeed.

Still not as cool as some of the prettiest Pcars 2 tracks, like Monaco and LA. Despite all the mods Assetto Corsa tracks are mostly just ugly janky shit unfortunately.

Damn, I know people don't like Route Kanal but it filtered half of the players in VR...

>>441061467
>>441061816

the issue with assetto is that anything that's not 100% asphalt or track racing it feels utterly shit

like going into the dirt or grass in a touge map or village map has 0 consequences compared to other games, also bumps and jumps are handled like utter shit too

I will live in the pod. I will own nothing. I will be happy.

>>441138087
this but on the screen is my femboy e-malewife, whom i pay $30/hour to be in the a vrchat lobby with me and vaguely converse while watching ylyl compilations on youtube

Now that the dust has settled. When was the golden age of VR?

I feel like it was around 2018 till mid 2020.

Good games
Great headsets
VRChat was still very open and innovative
/Vrg/ had a more campy oriented feeling about it.

>>441138687
The golden age of VR was always the first 2 years I was doing VR stuff

>>441091616
>Do note though if any anon complains on the thread that you kicked them out you're out of the moderation team.
That's good, just be mindful of trolls that might say "this guy kicked me!" as a joke.
Since you're using a group, you can view the group's "Logs" page on the VRChat website, which shows you exactly who got kicked and by who.

>>441139097
vrc groups do have kicks in their logs

>>441139097
>>441139316
Nice that's good to know it's properly logged

>>441142372
hahaha what the fuck

CIA NIGGER LOCATED

Poorfag here, Quest 2 or Pico 4? I'm trying to make a decision today, but which one is better for VRC (and art stuff)?

>>441143465
pico 4 is better

>>441143465
They're very similar, but the Quest 2 allows access to Quest exclusives like Resident Evil 4 VR if you're into that. Pico 4 is lighter. Both can be linked to your PC.
Supposedly the Pico 4 is better overall but don't quote me on that.

>>441091070
been here since 2018 and I've been getting on less and less.
running out of stuff to do, can only get on, drink, and talk to the same people for hours for so many years before it gets boring.
feels like udon content has stagnated and there's not many fun game maps being released anymore.
pre-ordered a beyond so maybe that'll rekindle my interest.

>>441138687
probably like 2020 honestly. with lockdown people were a lot more willing to do stuff in VR.

>>441144561
You mean normalshitters denied their usual outlets crawl here to infest this place with normalfaggotry, pushing out lots of the marvel, magic and enthusiasts that are needed to maintain VR and now they move back to their usual watering holes now that meatspace is open again, leaving VR a shriveled corpse.

>>441091070
For me, ironically, it's the lack of chaos-causing newfags. They're fun to watch, like a wild animal foraging for nuts or berries or something. Seems like everyone I meet on vrc isn't necessarily an oldfag, but they've been playing vrchat long enough to be disillusioned by the "game" side of it and they're just there to have an excuse to drink. Doesn't help that most of my old friends either stopped playing or hang out exclusively in private lobbies.

>>441144323
I felt this, but I realized I was insulating myself from all the actual interesting things going on here
Instead of going into the main meetup instances and talk to the newfags, I insulated myself in smaller side instances talking to the same small friend group for years on end and then wondered why it wasn't as interesting anymore.
Nowadays I make more of an effort to attend events, talk to the newfags, visit different timezones occasionally, all that stuff
"You don't have to be in a massive instance to enjoy yourself" is all fun and games until you get burnt out

>>441081447
ok i added them. i’ll probably still get kicked

>>441146098
You won't. I'll guarantee it. If you get kicked, complain here and I will or one of the main hosts will get you in.

As long as you have a VR headset or wants to buy a VR headset in the future you'll be fine.

>>441143465
Pico 4, Q2 only if you want to play standalone

>>441138687
2017 - 2020. Before that it barely existed. After than it has been almost completely stagnant.

>>441146404
Ok I feel better now

>>441099974
I mean, after you mod it, it's still just Skyrim. Which mods could possibly change it enough?

>>441091070
Shit's getting old after some time. You enjoy a certain activity, then winds change and something else gets popular, then you're not joining something because it's not your thing, then you get out of the loop, eventually you're no longer hyped for it, fear of missing out is gone, there's very little reason to jump in. As social as it is, VRC is still just a game, a hobby, hardly a serious lifelong commitment. You like it, you join it, and one day, you get bored of it.

>>441091070
I never made it into any of the groups that formed so it was a continual battle to find anyone to interact with and I eventually just lost the will to keep trying.

>>441138687
2017-2023. Sure, old times good times, I obviously feel various very romantic feelings towards my early days of VR, but that's just the beauty of exploring a new thing.

We're still in a very pleasant experimental era, wild west of the platform. Small, fun games like ItR or Ghosts of Tabor pop up every now and then and make you happy (instead of being instantly overshadowed by latest ubisoft copypasted AAA big mac: the game), DIY expansions and peripherals are still a huge topic, you're constantly surprised by results of users' creativity, even if it's low quality. VRC is only starting to be even remotely user-friendly, first proper mainstream assets/marketing platform of Booth only became a properly big thing couple years ago, and VRC still requires you to install unity editor just to have your own avatar. Corporations are not yet here, mainstream lowest common denominator is still far away from considering VR as something appealing.

I can see how *good old times* were better, but thinking forward, I feel like we're not even near the turn for the worse.

>>441143850
>>441143919
>>441149216
After mulling it over some more, I'm taking the plunge and getting a Pico 4, thanks anons.

>>441127257
Sure was tough, choosing between losing time by not taking risks and losing time by taking risks. But hey, at least it filtered all of us equally.

>>441138687
I think the rose tinted glasses are fascinating from a thread perspective. I wasn't around until fairly recently following this thread the last year and change but I spent several days archive diving until I eventually made it back into the first few dozen threads. Things get very hazy once you go below around thread 16 or 17 because you fucks suck ass at linking and numbering but regardless there were people being fags on like month one. Having slowly read through probably close to 100 full threads from various points in time as well as gathering opinions from and chatting with people, the only conclusion I've ever really been able to draw is that nobody really seems to agree on when things went to shit or if they ever really did. Best I can tell the numerical explosion and cultural divergence from a more cohesive group into a more fractured clique based system happened some time around the beginning of covid which I suppose isn't very surprising with the peak of sentiment being somewhere around 20/21 when the index was still fresh and lockdowns were starting and everyone was just playing all day. When I've got time at some point I plan on creating a proper pastebin with every link to every thread by number if possible though I've been busy with other stuff. Currently the only archive I'm aware of with a /vg/ mirror is archived.moe with the rest being dead now and indexing is turned off which is a pain. It's definitely amusing to read that far back though even if it's only a few years, would recommend. Finding schizo shit was fun and 'vr is dying edition" was the op on thread 16. Thanks for reading my gay blogpost with no linebreaks I'm just a bit autistic with thread histories with a natural hostility to linebreaks and coherent paragraph formatting.

You don't have to say it like that...sometimes I do wish I had time to be a full time giga autist and just catalogue it all. Even if the state of vr is stagnate it still feels like I'm in early on what will probably be something that eventually takes over the world in a decade or two.

>>441159348
>Best I can tell the numerical explosion and cultural divergence from a more cohesive group into a more fractured clique based system happened some time around the beginning of covid
It went from 'the meetup' to multiple instances with circles of people completely ignoring other circles in the first half of 2018.

>>441091070
I cant relate to the trash newfags so i only get on when my oldfag friends get on.
They get on less, i get on less.
And i suspect for them its the same so.
I get on less, they get on less.

>>441160781
Yeah I was speaking more on a macro level, the cliques have always existed to some degree it's just natural for a social game.

>>441040115
I think they added an option to tune your walking/running speeds no? But I agree, default speeds are way too fast.

>>441161301
I'm pretty sure I posted about /vrg/ no longer being a group in any meaningful sense in 2018. I basically haven't logged in to VRchat in 4 years though, so I don't know what it's like now.

The cliquefication of /vrg/ is a good thing as it makes avoiding certain insufferable individuals and groups really easy.

>>441040115

Here are the final standings for Group A in Finland. This one was pretty rough, better luck next time to the anons that got DQed.
New Dirt Rally 2.0 event is up now, we'll be running R5 in Greece for the next two weeks. You'll have until the Monday after next (8/21) to finish your run, so take your time and practice if you need to. Club link is in the OP if you're not already in.

>>441161309
Doesn't really matter, the environments are large so it's a pain in the ass to walk around slowly, and there's a bunch of chase sequences, not sure how that would even work.

>>441163319
>Doesn't really matter, the environments are large so it's a pain in the ass to walk around slowly
That's ADHD. You are exerting no effort. It literally is more immersive to traverse the environment slowly, until we have good omni treadmills that actually represent your footsteps 1:1 and aren't just doing a fucky feet to joystick conversion, if you want immersion you have to make do.
>there's a bunch of chase sequences, not sure how that would even work.
You sprint on chase sequences. The sprint speed in HL2 isn't far-fetched at all, you only sprint a little faster than Alyx running kind of fast but not sprinting.

>death to immersionfags
immersion is the entire reason this whole space exists, there is literally no point to VR if not for immersion

>>441164580
also meant for >>441162653 so my mistake

>>441164183
>two controllers with full six degree of freedom around you is "just a lightgun"
When you remove all the immersion stuff from the shooter, what is there left except for a lightgun game? The faster you move, the less of your own body movement you need to use, at that point you're not physically looking from behind corners, not peeking from below cover, you're just zooming around at hyperspeeds, crouching and jumping and strafing with nothing but buttons because that's the fastest way to do it and it's a fast paced game. At that point, what are you using in VR except for the lightgun? May I suggest Metroid Prime trilogy on Wii, great lightgun shooters, you'll enjoy them. None of that immersion stuff, yuck

Got a quest pro. Does this have any use for eye tracking outside of vrchat and foveated rendering? Can I use it to interact with the menus or anything like that?
Also does vrchat support foveated rendering?

>>441164580
>no point to VR if not for immersion
only if you've rot your brain fagging it up in vrchat all day
there are plenty of advantages vr has over regular flat games without "immersion"

I've never felt particularly immersed in VR. The primary advantage for me is the controls.

>>441165073
Does anything support foveated rendering?

>>441165013
After trying rocket jump arena in VRChat I really want quake in VR. But there is only a shitty Quake 1 mod and Quake 3 FOR QUEST ONLY.

>>441165471
OpenXR toolkit with some games

>>441165013
the fact that you think being able to look around you in proper depth perception and fully interact with the environment one to one is the same as using a lightgun on a distant 2d projection or the wii's shitty wagglan speaks volumes

>>441165102
I literally have only played 5 hours of vrchat this year, what a stupid strawman. VRChat sucks for immersion anyway so I don't understand why you'd even bring it up.

>>441165951
>VRChat sucks for immersion
I enjoy walking through random worlds exploring them in vr.
I do not enjoy doing this in flatscreen.
Is there any difference there other than immersion?

>>441165785
Is it possible to use that with Virtual Desktop? I don't want to go back to Airlink if I can help it.

>>441165951
> VRChat sucks for immersion anyway

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA

>>441166483
Yeah, it's a bigger pain in the ass to interact with objects and clickables in pancake.
Besides, I just feel bad for you if you never enjoyed exploring random worlds in GMod singleplayer because that's just what exploring VRChat worlds in flatscreen is.

>>441166716
I dunno, get a real headset

>>441166716
Gay goblin only exposes the bare minimum.
You don't get eye/facetracking with vd.
I doubt even voice actuators work.

>>441166880
t. fresneled, leashed, no eye or face tracked, cucked, dilated, blacked faggot

>>441166731
I did do that in Gmod. One of the first things I did when I got into vr back in 2018 was install Gmod vr mod to recreate this, but I liked vrc better.
I like the exploring experience better in vr in both cases.
Most worlds don't really have interactable objects so I'm not really sure about that point.

>>441166726
Oh yes, VRChat is so damn immersive, with its teleports everywhere, the fact every nice avatar has legs so long that if I touch the floor I'm still only down to my avatar's knees, the fact that none of the grabbable objects in any world have any weight to them and my hands don't even conform to the object, every instance being filled with people whose avatars bring me down to sub 40 fps, no tactile feedback on any user-made vehicles or anything and all-around unity jank really make VRChat the most immersive VR experience out there.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the little time I spend in VRChat for the social aspect and looking at myself doing poses in the mirror, but if I want actual immersion I know I'm much better off hopping on any of the VR shooters.

>>441167406
Personally I find that the first hour or two my brain has to re-adjust and the longer I'm in vr especially vrc my brain eventually goes into a kind of resonance and the immersion goes up a lot. It's kinda like driving a car I guess, eventually it all just kinda clicked and started feeling natural. I think it was around the time that I stopped trying to convince myself that the physics of it all had to be 1:1 identical be it assetto/vrc/pistol whip/ect and eventually it just feels like you're piloting a vessel more than playing a game if that makes sense.

>>441173023
>piloting a vessel

>>441176617
I miss the games, there were lots of VR games being played.

>>441091070
I still get on a good bit but a lot of what I liked about VR and vrchat is that there was a lot of creativity and events always going on. It feels like a lot of that has faded. On top of that, a lot of my creativity has faded because I've done a lot of the things I wanted to do.

It doesn't help that everything is so late now. I'll fall asleep half way through the meetup.

Beat Saber or Ragnarock, but you have to be mindful to actually swing your arms and not just your wrists. There's also fitness Beat Saber maps that have you doing squats and shit.

No clue about strength training, though. I don't think there's any that do work with weights or even body weight reps.

>>441178914
You can get some good cardio at pypy dance in vrchat. Which is tonight at 10 EST if you wanna come!

>>441178914
Some of the more intense rhythm game stuff can be decent for cardio. Thrill of the Fight was okay for that too.

>>441178914
>>441179614
synth riders actually makes you move your body and arms around instead of just flicking your wrists

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1384320/Grapple_Tournament/ is on for 4CAD now.

Not sure if anyone wants to do that now but it was one of the more fun looking games.

>>441180458
Oh nice. That looked fun, but I'd never picked it up since I didn't have anyone to play with. It'd be fun to try and get some lobbies going since it's so cheap.

>>441174387
Pause, where are the VR mech games?

>>441180458
God I miss hyperdash bros...

>>441180815
Vox Machinae is all we really have right now.
OVRLRD looked interesting, but it's not even in early access yet.

>>441180458
it's a pain in the ass to host because the max lobby size is 6 or some shit like that

>>441180891
It's been free to play for a while now, we should run some lobbies again.

>>441180458
Are there any good single player climbing/grappling games to give a go on VR? I downloaded GRAB on my Pico 4 to try when my PC's off, since it was free, haven't played it though.

also - kind of proud of myself, considering all the horror stories I've heard about VR motion sickness that when I turned on twin-stick movement in H3VR earlier and turned up the speed apart from a moment's dizziness I didn't feel bad.

Haven't actually tried The Climb, but it looks more like what you want. You could try getting the PC version of that working through Revive.

why am i suddenly getting group invite spam out of nowhere?

thinking of trying vrchat but i dont identify with any of the avatars i have found thus far
is there one that looks like picrel?
thanks in advance

Why do people still believe having too many tris ruins performance? Why don't people understand the major issue are all the meshes, shaders, blendshapes, and many other things are the problem?

>>441193191
Having too many tris can still be a performance issue if you haven't handled your shapekeys correctly.
I won't trust someone who isn't optimized in any other way to have set their shape keys up properly.

>>441193191
because it does. Skinned meshes are not free, especially with blendshapes. You can have milions of polygons if it's a non skinned mesh. Even more if it's a static non skinned mesh

I purchased this but it's been a while. many updates since. I probably try it again soon and report on the state of the game. Guy has a lot more on his twitter than on the itch.io site

I thought getting into VR would help with social retardation and make it easy to make new genuine friends but it's even worse than real life so far.
Met a few people so far, had wonderful times with group activities and multiple 1 on 1 conversations/evenings. Ecstatic about jumping the gap and friending them to organize game lobbies, events or just hang out.
End up either ignored or they're simply not available anywhere to contact. It's like this is all no-strings attached and I've been taken for a fool. I don't know how to cope with it but I'm absolutely devastated inside.

>>441209105
it's not just redoing highschool as an anime girl. its being an anime girl in a highschool for cripples and retards and a shitload of sexually repressed cripples and retards. it takes time to form real bonds and trust. probably much more than irl does.

I'm in the same boat as this anon. >>441151694
I've been trying to get better at social interactions and being friends but not doing so good. I like to listen to people and what they're doing or working on but I often get told I'm "boring with no interests or personality, but good listener".
I'm not sure how to be better at having a personality. I have a bunch of hobbies and interests but whenever I tried to talk about them, people tend to act dismissive or appear not interested. I don't mind since it's fairly unpopular hobbies and I don't like 3d modelling or erp, so talking about my avatar or flirting with people isn't something I'm personally into.
Also, I know I'm being autistic, trying to get better.

>>441160415
>I'm in early on what will probably be something that eventually takes over the world in a decade or two.
mutts will never adopt VR especially with how expensive it is becoming just to survive. the future isnt dystopia, thats far too optimistic.

its just going to be 3rd world tier living conditions and i pity everyone who cant see this

>>441211279
My hobby is watching sports which nobody on VRC cares about

>>441211279
There's really not that much else to do but find the people you'd resonate with and stick with them for a long enough time.
Personally for me I tend to add people who hang around me and my friends a lot for a consistent enough time like in the sea exploration.

All you need is an initial spark and the same consistent login schedule. Go through a few people and see if you find someone you engage with amongst the many. Then narrow in on the few or even one who you resonate with most and login at the time they usually login. Do this consistently and you'll be surprised you now have made a friend.

>>441186142
GOD i wish this game had better collission physics, fucking destruction derby in VR would be so fucking fun, wreckfest is a blast with a wheel because you can feel the other cars slam into you and you can feel exactly how hard to turn the wheel to fight against it, but in assetto you just bounce off each other like you're made of rubber and lose control as a result

You also have to remember that people here and in VRC in general meet tons of people per week (if they have hours in) and to separate yourself from the noise of casual interaction / acquaintanceship is actually pushing the conversation to show you're interested in learning more about them and taking the imitative to join on peoples Friends+ instances and just hanging out.

You don't have to have hours long deep conversations constantly to be friends with someone in VRC, just chat it up, enjoy someones company, add them as a friend and swing by their instance to say hi whenever you feel like talking to them. Just taking the imitative to reach out to someone shows you aren't just another person in an instance that said 3 words to them. I've learned this the last few months of hanging out in instances.

Why do you guys tolerate this person?

not them but I can kinda tolerate anime-type furries

>>441225557
its the workout, they will take literally anyone and everyone.
children, pedophiles, furries, trannies, coomers, and most importantly, a bunch of randos who aren't from this thread.

>>441225793
On top of this person being an intolerable furry, he's an outsider. He's extremely cringe, not from here, and he leaks in equally cringe randos whenever he appears.
I saw him at the western event and started spamming kicks on him. One of his rando friends told him that there were vote kicks on him, and he said "guess I better put on my disguise" and he switched into an anime avatar.
I know that one of the people he's joining on is jones.

>>441223759
I'd rather you not post pictures with this person in it as they perpetuate the myth that he's not a rando that should be kicked on sight.

I don't mind randos in passing or the fact that people have adjacent friend groups but I don't like when ppl try to justify actual infiltrators with "he put out doe"

oftentimes a close, near-parental friendship develops between Internet friends, in which one side is especially nurturing and caring for the other. these friendships have as much potential for abuse as any other, and may be a sign of parental neglect or dysfunction during the nurtured one's upbringing

I hang out with the friends I made in /vrg/ but that doesn't mean I go to weekly /vrg/ meets anymore. This place got too big and many of my old friends splintered off or are gone. I don't see the point in going to meets now outside of the big events because the newfriends are too trashy for my taste and I don't want to deal with casual nudity all the time. Nothing lasts forever bros...

>>441234656
Good. Stop playing VRChat and play games.

>>441234656
The common thread I’m seeing here is nobody likes the /trash/fags which is causing the quality people to bleed out and that in turn bleeds out even more quality people. Sad.

I was in the dance world for a little bit, it was fun! Hope to see you fags again soon.

Yeah they went to chilloutVR

>>441209105
This has got to be a weird skill issue or something 90% of this general lives in discord and as you integrate you get invited to all the random friendcords. It's the same with the rest of vrc as well, there are hundreds of random medium to small groups mostly centered around discords. There a few people off the top of my head who both avoid discord and don't interact much outside of inside vrc but they're in the extreme minority as much as we'd collectively pretend that's not the case.

There is a workout instance on CVR as well apparently

if only you knew how bad things really are

>>441237854
>This has got to be a weird skill issue
Yes. Lacking social skills is a skill issue. You figured it out.

>>441091070
I crowd that I used to play mahjong with every day in 2021 is long gone since early last year. I know there's still *******mahjong******* but it ain't the same vibe as it was back then. Shame but at least it was there to get me through my first job.

People leave and new frens come in. Things change but that's just life. I try to shake things up every time I get on but I've noticed that I no longer get on VR everyday.

I should really make memes more though.

the crowd****

I got no sleep last night

>>441217217
This is good advice. I think a lot of people coming in don't realize that vrc is a bit of a social hyperbolic time chamber. You can get more socializing done in a night then you could in an aggressively active 7 days irl easily. Similarly you can easily get a month of socializing done in a week, and so on. The extreme fluidity of being able to constantly be moving between groups, people, and activities with no barrier aside from just booting up and strapping in means you're cutting out a lot of the prerequisite of spending time planning, driving, getting food, cleaning up to prepare, and observing other standard pieces of social conduct. The result is a hyper accelerated social experience where in one night you could interact with sometimes hundreds of people in a night.

>>441237854
I'm actually impressed. I would FOMO too hard.

>>441238556
The newfag FOMO is pretty normal. Most people just get taken under the wing of one of the shadow leaders and they drag them around to social functions until they've got enough people added and half know how to navigate. Just the nature of the beast with how large this place is unless you've got the balls to go in cock blazing and are actually socially functional enough to just have fun without initial babysitting.

>>441238512
this is honestly why I'm so addicted to VRC

there is nothing out there like it than here

>average TDA avatar nigger/ewhore ruining their whole shit

>>441238512
I don't like it. For me it devalues most of the interaction you get because of the sheer volume you can pick from.
I've always been a bit of a loner, but with the advent of the internet, it was extremely easy even for social stunted people like me to make friends. Even simply sharing a hobby was enough to make strong friendships in a few hours of interaction because the mindset was different then.
I'm not saying it's ultimately a good or bad thing but for me it's absolutely alienating. I can only care about small amount of people at the same time and it feels truly horrible when you think some interactions are going well and you might have made a new friend, for the realization to hit and it's simply someone interacting the same with every strangers. Personally I'm giving on VRC even with /vrg/ because it's simply too big.

>>441241142
Regardless of how big it is, it's not /that/ big. You eventually start seeing the same faces over and over again.

>>441241142
If you liked someone, show up in their instances. People in vrchat are used to the quiet autists who just nod and silently participate, if you just hang around people won't ignore you.

>>441241780
If there are more than 10 people in a room, I start to get claustrophobic and retreat to a less populated part of the world if it's available if I don't outright just leave the world. My ideal group size is 2 to 3 people chilling and gaming. If there are more people than that, I prefer the venue to be a public speaking thing where I'm in the audience or am the speaker.

>>441091070
its because vrchat blows ass
it was funny for the first week i had my headset but every meetup is just the same shit

if you're not someone who lives to show off your most recent hair color change on your weird huge titty avatar (that everyone else also has) it's not that much fun standing around and talking about the exact same shit you talked about last week

i'm not even complaining about the people (and i mean this in the best way possible but you guys are just not that interesting i'm sorry) but like there is literally nothing to do in vrchat, even if you guys were the most interesting people in the world

its no wonder every instance is just people getting plastered or having e-sex, like what else is there to do?

here's how you're supposed to use vrchat:

>join instance
>find people you click with
>add them on steam/discord/whatever
>play actual vr/flat games or just chat with them

and this is how you guys use it

>join instance
>make small talk with strangers
>drink till you can't see
>drunkenly ask why nobody likes you and cry
>pass out
>repeat

my advice is to just use vrchat to make friends, and then go do something else with said friends

>>441240081
Damn looks like you're gonna have to show up and tell him yourself.

is it possible to speak in public worlds and only have my friends hear my voice?

pypy had concluded! Thanks to everyone who showed up. See you again tomorrow (and thursday) at 10 EST

Just fucking say you hate me, okay? I'm sorry I didn't buy a headset in 2018, but every time you veil these personal attacks against me and how I SOMEHOW ruined VR for you by couching it in "oh the 'community' and 'vibe' was soooo much better back then!" it comes across as weak and bitchmade woman behavior

i feel bad for the old VR beta testers or the people who invested in those ridiculous base station/wired setups but vr fucking rules and i'm happy its finally moving beyond the initial early adoption phase

I have an inside-out headset. IT's fine for 90% of uses but acting like it's superior is outright wrong. Being able to do shit with your hands without looking at them is handy.

>>441244507
>ask index friends to play vr game

i know the base stations are marginally better for VRChat and overhand grenade throws but inside tracking is the future man that's all there is to it

>>441244428
>inside-out tracking has made finally made VR headsets decent, affordable, and fun for everyday use

This will always be inferior to external tracking solution. There's a loss of tracking due to gameplay speed or occlusion/out of range, for starters.

>quest 2 mass-adoption has incentivized VR development

The games developed for the Quest 2 are limited in scope and innovation and do not build on the groundbreaking achievements made in PCVR, from physics interactions, graphics, and user created content (The biggest PCVR games thrive on user created content). In fact, it's a race to the bottom in quality.

quest 2 is the most popular PCVR headset by a huge margin. pre-quest 2, why even bother developing a vr game at all, when at best you'll sell 25 copies. now theres a lot more reason to develop vr games, period, because there are way more people with hardware

doesn't matter, he gave away a bajillion headsets before he gave up and now vr is less niche than before, even apple is making a headset now (and surprise, no base stations)

no he's a pilot and his current grift is befriending/unblocking then re-unfriend/block people in exotic locations so he can fly over to them, ignore them and instead get drunk off his ass and fly off the next day.

i see people here posting vrc selfies as cute anime girls so my brain thinks of them as cute anime girls and then when i meet them in vrc and hear their gross man voice coming over voice chat it shatters the illusion and ruins it for me
i think my only option is to keep everyone on permanent mute to maintain the illusion

>>441261887
>to keep everyone on permanent mute to maintain the illusion
There is a better option
Voice changers

>>441261887
Curious, how many hours have you played VRChat?

>>441261887
oh don't worry, seeing where you're going and what you're trying to get out of it, I can see you getting used to male voices in no time

>>441263845
even worse. the 2 or 3 that use it are fucking uncanny as hell and talking to them makes me feel sick

>>441263845
I rather interact with a mute than talk to someone using a voice changer

LGBT Hangout is the best map in the game desu

>>441264726
so far i only was to 2 agdg meets and total amount of vrc time is about 3 hours

>>441263845
>Voice changers
Yes but no.
Voice changers will be the best option but not yet not untill they are good enough where you can't easily tell it's voice changer. Right now voice changers make you sound like a smurf not like a girl. Hopefully ai gets that sorted out in few years.

>>441267342
The gura one is pretty good but if you're familiar with the voice it's mimicking then it'll be uncanny.

When you stick around for a bit and explore public worlds you'll quickly come to see that dudes wearing female avatars are the default, and nobody is trying to put on voices for the sake of any kind of "illusion" and talk regularly (if a touch gay, because hey, we all look so damn cute).

The sick ones here are the trans, for whom this is a fulfillment to their narcissistic desire to trick people and manipulate interactions to try and play on social easy mode and get that "girl card" via voice training to take on the role of women and collect simps and preferential treatment. (All eyes on them, everything is about them.)

Which really, should make you feel more sick that talking with fellow anons who wear the embodiment of their favorite anime tropes for their own and others enjoyment, and do a bit of casual social drinking together. (Mutualistic camaraderie.)

this would be uncomfortably realistic, but it's missing one key element of the quintessential vrchat anime girl avatar: dozens of meaningless tattoos and piercings on every single pierceable part of the body. also the socks aren't thigh-high and the bra is too concealing

O.o its still getting better, meta did nothing, zuck is a retard who wasted billions of dollars to make a product that was objectively inferior to second life pre wind light on fucking fullbright
there isn't even really any regulation, what would they regulate anyway? its just a pancake game that uses a device to exploit a flaw in the human brain to make you perceive depth
if anything vr has only gotten better, and still is, development of purchasable headsets just slowed a bit, the next big leap is coming, it will be ai augmented processing to eliminate the gpu and enable full pc x86 tier pancake visual fidelity or something similar

I will care about the occlusion in shitty inside-out tracking for as long as it fucks up my ability to throw grenades or hold objects outside of my field of vision (carrying a bucket full of grenades in HLA, travelling through monkey bars/overhead rope on boneworkslab)
>b-b-but that's so niche--
I don't give a shit. I want my hands to be tracked at all times, not just when I'm in beat saber/gun shooting position. It's a shitty compromise and I'll take base stations/CV1 style cameras any day, suck my nuts quest shill

>>441291430
That's very specific anon. Is that something you really want? If you make a prefab of it I can chuck it in for lulz as a rare item to find in the map. Do try to make optimized

>>441291563
Not really it's a joke; but a special trash version with some textures swapped and features/bits renamed might be fun

>>441291549
I will be slapping a Vive tracker on it and using my existing base stations then. Base stations are fucking great, and I have no clue why you'd complain about them beyond the initial cost which most people who'd care have already outlayed because of the Index.

Cameras on the controllers is superior to base stations.

Since we’re talking trackers, is there a consensus on the new vive inside-out trackers? They are supposed to be releasing Q3 2023 (2 more weeks?), but how would these compare to a lighthouse set up? While the cameras mean they can track reliably like the quest pro controllers, will they still suffer drift and occlusion? I’m holding out because even if they release at £200 a piece 3 trackers would be cheaper than 3x 3.0s and 2x lighthouses

Is it just because they can't wear stuff like this IRL?

>>441295163
She just didnt skip the leg day.
Those quads.

>>441291549
Add cameras on the controllers too and the problem will be truly fixed. Until then, inside-out is just a cope.

I want to kill every e-whore and erp faggot with these stupid thunder thighs tattoo avatars with the stupid bunny mouth

>>441294757
Would, shamelessly

>>441295501
Although of course you realise that this defeats the purpose of inside-out; the idea that cameras and image processing has gotten cheaper both computationally and hardware wise enough to make that into cheaper headsets. Personally inside-out and outside-in terms are retarded and shouldn't be used. The lighthouse system is inside-out, remember.

>>441295762
Lighthouse tracking is essentially an array of 1x1 resolution cameras on the devices that interpret their position based on differences in time of flight from the IR emitters. The only system that worked the other way around was the original Rift where the cameras were on the walls and the devices emitted light.

>>441297398
I have a CV1 and whenever I see friends or youtubers or whatever with lighthouse setups it always looks way more jittery than my stuff, particularly on the hands. It's like they have Parkinson's even though I know they don't.

>>441297772

>>441298020
NTA but I never had any tracking issues with my Rift S and only started having them once I switched to Index. Shit like controllers drifting off, jittering when I hold them right in front of my face (which is especially awful when aiming) are frequent but never was an issue. Lighthouses are very strict in their placement to get proper tracking, and from what I've read 2 is the absolute minimum, for absolute no issues 3 of them is recommended (which is extra cost since it only comes with 2).
The only advantage lighthouses have is full body tracking which nobody cares about except for VRChat tranny fags.

>>441297772
i assume the jitteryness comes from lack of software smoothing or something, my friends with indexes are always a little jittery, especially in FBT, but questies are always smooth

maybe less accurate but smooth just looks better

>>441244909
>>"no man i don't want to get it all set up"
What?

>>441297772
I had Rift then Index. The tracking is generally the same. Rift was worse for me in Beat Saber as the controllers could not handle songs beyond a certain level without becoming highly inaccurate and I could immediately do much harder songs from the moment I got the Index. Some of the best players had Rifts though, so it definitely wasn't a universal issue. Index is more susceptible to the controllers lurching or flying away when pointing them in certain directions. It might be minor reflections or interference, but I've never completely solved this issue after 4 years. Both can't track perfectly when very close to your own body, the floor, or other objects, despite not being occluded.

Lots of factors play into this. It could be IR issues, RF interference, or even usb load. Some of the jitter also comes from Valve's predictiion algorithms. There's software to smooth it out, and for trackers at least VRChat just added the ability to smooth them out by tweaking the prediction rate in the latest ik beta.
