Doing Friday night Assetto Corsa at SRP with some Wangan Midnight cars tonight at 8PM ET (about 18.5 hours from now).
After that (around 10PM ET), we'll be watching the Wangan Midnight movie in VRC.
The server is set up with Sol for night driving and comfy map for teleports, both are optional, but highly recommended.

The claims on the video "moving ions one by one" are not physically realistic. The device looks like it has gel electrodes array to increase contact area - bigger contact area will not burn. Device might also have magnetic stimulation too, looking how the thing is coil shaped, but it might be just made to look like that. Electric current to the head, or magnetic somulation should not be applied frivolously, and broadly like this device would. Althougg its possible to mess with perception using broad electrical and magnetical stimulation, this looks like a techbro scam shit aimed at gullible twitter idiots. Look how nothing is explained expect some handwaving on a video and the website doesnt have any details what the company even does.

>>502299332 (Cross-thread)
Man I want it to be so real so bad though. Been a decade of people trying to figure out how to stimulate and fake vestibular sense for balance so VR sickness is cured.

This can also be a pre-req for full-dive VR.


you know how for nerves to produce electricity, chemicals need to pass through their gates?
That's probably what they are doing
utilizing the nerve's ability to create electricity instead of poking in their own electricity by forcing some ions through. Na ions or Cl ions was it?

Not that anon, but I felt like shit after the first few hours with a VR headset on. It's gotten better, but large amounts of movement that don't correspond to physical movements are still bad after an hour or so, though no where near as bad as the first time, where I felt unwell for the entire rest of the evening.

That twitter video seems like tech bros blowing smoke up each others asses and it's not even clear what they are controlling from the video. Is it supposed to be some kind of inner-ear stimulation using electromagnets? I know very little about neuroscience but I don't think it works that way. I bet they will get a lot of money from other techbros though.

>>502299556
You are either an idiot or their employee.

>>502299631
I already told you I am just an optimist in the VR space.

>>502299672
Dont fall for scams then. How is their electrode vehind ear is supposed to manupulate microscopic voltage gated ion channels of neural cells except of just running electric current through your brain?

Yes, you can fuck eith inner ear by running transcranial current. But it will jot just fuck eith inner ear, the current of a few electrodes behind ears cannot be accurately controlled, I would not use their device even if it work as they claimed to induce leaning sensations.

>>502299672
Something I find more interesting/promising are the real devices used to grant amputees some limited control over prostheses. Those devices today require the nerves to be surgically moved to be closer to the skin, and no right minded able bodied person would want that, but it could allow amputees to control a virtual limb to the same degree that they could control a prosthesis, without having to wear a prosthetic limb to do it, which would be a very good thing for accessibility in VR gaming.

>>502300175
All being said, I wouldnt mind having neuralink to control ears or tail or extra limbs of my avatar. Or tonhave tingling sensations injected into some areas of my body.

Those few paralyzed people who got neuralink can controll a computer mouse extremely well and don't seem to have any discomfort.

>>502300637
Invasive surgeries of any kind are extremely risky. All of the animals used for neuralink testing have died, and invasive brain implants for humans have only ever been tested on terminally ill for a very good reason. Wanting an invasive brain surgery from a techbro company just to have more immersive control in VR is insane.

As for VR sickness, I found it helped a lot when I moved some furniture around to give me a larger VR area so I can move around more with my body instead of the controllers. Those meme images where people have no furniture are kind of sad, but I think there is no shame in getting the most out of your space for the things you enjoy doing.

>>502302053
All animals in all animal studies of that kind are killed and examined, its the usual. Fuck off with your sensationalist musk hate.

Contractors today at 19:00 UTC/ 20:00 CET

Man, people were so hopeful for the future of PCVR.

>>502304210
How is the syncing of network options in it? I haven't checked out the multiplayer mod at all for Bonelab due to being SORELY FUCKING DISAPPOINTED in what the game ended up being relative to Boneworks.

Jesus F, this has made it's way to FB.

Depends on what your expectations are. On one hand, it's often janky, sometimes physics explode in a violent manner whenever you're doing something less correct than game would like you to do, every now and then you can hear about one anon having a spawn-gun-spawned mob around him and then no one else can see it. On the other hand, god damn, we had fun sword fights, fist fights, we've been building pillow castles, driving cars with eight people inside. You can throw anons around, you can spawn dumbest shit, weld it together with constraints and everyone's seeing it in sync. Personally, I'm extremely impressed with how well this mod multiplayer runs, but again, it depends on your expectations. It's not a polished AAA experience, but in my book, any game that allows multiplayer physics interactions of quality that allow you to parry anon's sword with your sword is beyond amazing.

>>502308136
I'm fine with jank, I guess how I should have worded it is how well does it recover from unexpected shit, and how stable is it overall? Eg. Crashing due to too much shit, or something going weird that causes a crash.

>>502308417
Dawww what a cute drawing anon. Any lore for thos /vrg/ headset drawing and why is there the number 8 on the upper left?

>>502308435
regular gameplay is fine, the game will only shit itself if you do really crazy stuff with constraints or purposely spawn too many game objects.

is this how you get your sick kicks?

Hmm is it worth spending $8000 on a robot arm?

>>502309567
this nigga like george jettson, robots flying around his house doing his dishes and jerkin him off

>>502308750
I was too tired to play any games today and it's the 8th shitty drawing I've done since I decided to start numbering them

>>502309965
You should draw your friends.

>>502308435
Crashes sometimes happen, but primarily due to levels being not exactly multiplayer-ready. In main hub level, or in gmod city level that has no mechanics whatsoever, I can't remember having a crash even once. When too much shit gets spawned (or in 12+ people situations), game gets slow and that's about it. Last game, we had two crashes through 2-3h long game iirc, and we're exploring new levels from external mods a lot. It's not hopeless - if anything, the biggest annoyances are usually related to the fact that when players get respawned after death, they're occasionally getting a huge force applied, then they fly off the map, and then you have to keep a gun in equipment to be able to kill yourself or else level has to be restarted to bring a person back into game.

A good chunk of boner anons are joining weekly and they still didn't got sick of it, so hey, I guess value has to overweight the inconvenience for them. One or two crashes and falling out of the map are clearly not enough of an issue for them to give up on enjoying the physics sandbox with fellow anons. I dunno, if you say you're fine with jank and you want to do dumb stuff together, I'd say setting it up and giving it a shot at least once is an effort well spent.

I SAID JUMP

>>502312015
If I remember correctly, he said 'left over jump' and I was like HOW MUCH LEFT and got distracted and messed up. The call was literally just 'left'. Not slight left, not 6 left. Just left. I suppose left is somewhere between slight left and 6 left.

Are you expected to keep your wheel's recentering strength as loose as possible for Rally racing? I had a rough time trying to get anything done at a decent speed on Dirt Rally 1's VR mode years ago. Mostly been just playing Assetto Corsa street tracks since.

>>502320068
Depends on the wheel, stronger wheels will obviously be harder. On my G29 I keep Force feedback at MAXIMUM. I guess it also depends if you have a full force feedback wheel or just a cringe ass central spring one.

>>502320068
as in, centering spring effect? I run without it, just like asscorsa, works fine for me. Then again, I loosely remember playing DR1 long time ago and copying FFB settings from the internet for G27 because default setup was trash, so maybe that's what got you as well.

In DR2/WRC, I just kept defaults.

>>502320765
'Centring spring' confuse me a bit because on FFB wheels that's the setting that kicks in when there is no force feedback. The car's motion determines how hard the wheel centers when there's real FFB

>>502320068
FFB wheels dont have "recentering force" if everything works properly. If the only effect you have is the recentiring force, your FFB is not working.

You should be able to feel where the car "wants" to go, the surface, the loss of traction of front wheels, not just centering force.

>>502316726
Knowing a creature's danger and respecting it is vastly different than running, screaming and flinging hands around

What are some good VR games with spiders?

>>502323184
Metro Awakening

>>502323184
do VR mods count?
Satisfactory and Lethal company have good spiders
Headcrabs are kind of spiders so the HL series
Into the radius has little creatures that are kind of spider like
Pretty sure ancient dungeon VR has some spider enemies
Subnautica has like... under water spiders
underdogs has a few spider-like bots that you fight

Honestly not many VR spiders

Legendary tales does NOT have spider enemies and that was a wasted opportunity

>>502323803
>Honestly not many VR spiders
This is sad, it seems like a good enemy for vr games. You could have them crawl on the player and they'd have to physically slap them away

>>502323803
You forgot Skyrim

>>502324354
Metro Awakening....

>>502324787
I already bought it

>>502307569
Yes, yes it is mom

>>502323184
Dungeons of Eternity have spiders, venomous spiders, jumping spiders, exploding spiders and jumping exploding spiders.

Any anons want to try Exocars multiplayer? Now or later before Contractors.

>>502328689
No force feedback :(

>>502328689
Yes, but TOO MANY GAAAAAMES

also need to buy it...

How do you like singleplayer?

>>502328939
We have Motorstorm at home kind of deal. Only one vehicle with no modding is disappointing but the actual driving feels good, the tracks are cool and it looks and runs good. It just feels like it could have used another month of dev time to put proper AI opponents in and fix the wheel controls.

>>502328738
It very obviously wasn't meant to be played with physical wheel, all the settings and controls are tailored for the virtual one. Maybe they will patch it later but right now even stick controls are better than trying to play with wheel.

>>502329438
Ehh

>>502329438
I don't care if the FFB is arcadey I want race

>>502308136
>>502307174
Now that I think about it, I don't know how it is even possible to have the object transforms so well synchronised.

All the Warhammer 40K maps have weird terrain (which was a complain two weeks ago) and too many capture points so we'll play that loadout with regular maps.

What VR games would you say have the best playerbase? I've tried VRChat and Contractors but online is just a lot of screaming kids that I don't have the patience to deal with. A lot of other games are straight up dead.

>>502338275
Gorilla Tag, Rec Room, VRChat
All of them have screaming children, enjoy.

After going through the gamut of the big name VR games
I've come to the conclusion that Blade and Sorcery just kind of sucks

>y-you already own an xbox, p-please buy our games

if you do not enjoy hanging out with kids, you can just hang out with like minded adults instead

I wanted to see if I could find something decent in VR games as getting anyone I know to buy a headset and play a game more than once would be like herding cats. I just found it strange how young some of these playerbases skew as it's not like I'm playing Fortnite or anything explicitly for kids. Games like Hover Junkers and Vox Machinae sound cool but the reviews and steam numbers make it seem like I'm not going to find anyone online for them.

>>502349546
Hover Junkers is like a 2015/2016 game, yeah you're not going to find anyone playing it anymore.
Multiplayer VR is still mostly dominated by free games like VRChat and Gorilla Tag, which of course attract children.

This is the same as having a VR headset render your game.

Is constant VR issues something everyone just deals with?
I recently upgraded to a 4080 Ti. I also have a
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D as well as 32 gb of ram. I would expect to not have to deal with stutters anymore. And while it got a lot better I'm still having some annoying issues like:
1. Image flickering if I go in and out of the steam overlay menu where you can access your computer applications
2. Heavy stutters and freezes on startup if I didn't turn off or reboot my computer the night before.
3. In beat saber after finishing a song they will use light brightness levels for transitions and sometimes it won't like go fully back up to 100% for about 30 seconds.

I'm using a Vive pro 2 with two base stations and valve index controllers.
I just wanna be able to hop into VR whenever without issues...

>>502364804
>I'm using a Vive

>>502364804
reinstall windows

>>502364962
Are there reported issues similar to what I mentioned or is this just like console wars but for VR?
I wouldn't mind getting a Index 2 if that ever comes out. :^)

>>502364804
I don't have any of those issues.
I agree with the other anon, reinstall windows.
If you're still getting these issues after reinstalling windows, maybe your HMD is fucked.

>>502364804
did you reinstall windows after you upgraded?

>>502365470
>>502365814
>>502365878
In the current year I didn't really consider windows fuckups to be a cause of such problems. But I might as well try this. It is fairly easy and quick these days too.

>>502364804
>The GeForce RTX 4080 Ti is a graphics card by NVIDIA, that was never released.
so I'm going to assume you meant 4070Ti.
At 12gb you really shouldn't be running into VRAM issues at startup, but it's always a possibility, especially if you've got something else hogging it over time, thus requiring a reboot. Monitor the Dedicated GPU Memory graph of your GPU in task manager when problems occur. Keep in mind that opening the steam overlay will lower the resolution of the game and thus also GPU memory usage.
Running out of GPU Memory/VRAM is probably the most common cause of completely-unplayable levels of heavy stutters

>>502366069
well reinstalling windows, also reinstalls all the steamvr related drivers. you could fully wipe all the steamvr stuff and reinstall that first, if you want

>>502366195
Sorry. I meant 4080 super which seems to have 16gb of VRAM.
Looked up the 4090 Ti now and it got 24 gb of VRAM. I'm jealous.

>>502365878
i thought windows just worked

>>502366630
pajeets ruined it

>>502364804
1. Valve broke something in the latest stable steamvr and it stutters when you go into overlay and close it for many wired headsets not only Vive Pro 2. Try swapping to "previous" branch in beta tabs. Also new beta fixed the stuttering, but introduced similar issue - instead of stutter the starry sky of steamvr background can get randomly overlayed for some time in your game.

2. Switch to beta version of Vive Console - they fixed the startup and shutdown hand. Also, update your bios to latest. Old Ryzen bioses had some weird issue with GPU being able to saturate the whole PCIe and USB bus and everything hanged. Update bios or limit your GPU to PCIe gen 3 in bios settings.
3. Vive Pro 2 has automatic dimming to increase contrast, can disable it in json here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\VIVEDriver\App\ViveVRRuntime\ViveVR\ViveVRServer\config\default.vrsettings

or here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\VIVEDriver\App\ViveVRRuntime\ViveVR\ViveVRServer\config\default.vrsettings

Open in notepad, search for brightness, then you will find it...

good gaming gamers

>>502355098
Good gaming everyone

i think maxxing the virtual desktop brithness fixed the game somewhat.its still dark but not 'i cant see where im going' dark.

the shotgun is amazing, the blowdart gun... honestly feels kinda retarded idk why they added it they should have put the compressed air gun or railgun or something

>>502367818
there is a brightness setting in game

Also reminder that h264/h265 compressor really like to crush dark areas and not give them bandwith...

>>502367954
yea i maxxed it too
it looked dark af even with it maxxed

>>502367818
the game looks pretty cool
wish it had a full body instead of floating hands though

>>502367351
Thanks a lot vive friend. I'll do all of this + a windows reinstall tomorrow morning.
I'm feeling hopeful about this fixing all of my issues.

>>502355098
Don't really like the PMC mod after playing it more. I don't think the instant time to kill works well on these maps with such long sightlines and no predictability in the spawns. It just encourages holding an angle in the corner of the map so no-one can spawn behind you and shooting anyone is is moving before they even see you.

>>502368354
like bonelab?
nah it's jank af shooters should all just copy HLalyx and in alyx its floating hands.

in games that have melee,climbing,acrobatics like blade and sorcery it makes sense

>>502369276
Alyx's VR implementation was extremely outdated on release and I'm tired of everyone pretending it is somehow special to this day.

>>502355098
I love the 40K mod so much
GG and thanks for hosting

>>502369707
it did a lot of details perfectly, avoiding inverse-kinematic arms was one of them.

maybe in the next big leap in headsets we'll get automatic arm tracking fed to the same but until that day im fine with floating hands

>>502370149
> a lot of details perfectly
Like what?

>>502370809
all the hand interactions, from gravity gloves to flicking the shotgun closed.

if you also had an elbow showing up in game and not being where your real one is it would have been a worse experiance than just floating hands

>>502369276
>shooters should all just copy HLalyx and in alyx its floating hands
Arm IK is worth it over floating hands when the appearance of those arms is relevant to the immersion. Most VR game are still playing as a generic human so it's irrelevant but if you're playing as a non-generic character like the droids in the Star Wars Contractors mod then it adds a lot of immersion to see it visually represented on the virtual body.
Games with gear and character customization like Skyrim also benefit enough from being able to see your equipment that it's worth the instances of jank that current IK occasionally encounters.

>>502371035
Any hand interaction with the world was awful in my opinion. The rotational crank and the train track lever immediately spring to mind. They were obviously driving an animator and felt completely off.

How do anons feel about some Vox or Iron Rebellion multiplayer tomorrow, 18 or 19 GMT?

>>502373334
i'd hop on IR

>>502369276
Man that rat fight when you need to hold on, no time to rewind the flashlight, green eyes just zigzaging and darting in the dark. Oh my god, that the shit, that was good fucking fight, Metro is truelly a VR shooter ludo kino.

>>502373334
That's the Bonelabs timeslot which may affect your turnout.

>>502374175
as for the flashlight i got the same problem i had with the flat metro games. i dont like 'manual recharging' flashlights in games because i just keep recharging them every 30 seconds

and some of the fights are pretty intense, at the arena fights ('beat every monster in the room before you can go on') you can usually stand with your back to a wall so they cant get behind you but if you dont manage ammo well in this game you're gonna need to start switching to the helsing,kalash,pisol... in the middle of a fight which gets intense

metro is too scary for me to finish

12 minutes qualifiers
10 laps race

Afterwards some assorted drifting in Scotland.

Assetto - can be played with wheel, controller, or steam-vr-wheel addon, it doesn't matter, we will all have fun driving together. If you just bought Asseto - grab Assetto Corsa Content Manager - a better launcher and mod manager: https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html To install mods: just drag and drop zip files from mega onto the Content Manager windows and click on the hamburger menu on top right. Highly recommend installing stable custom shader patch and 7-zip plugin in Content manager.

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

I can't recomend enough Crew Chief
https://thecrewchief.org/
He's a helpfull AI fellow in the pits who'll provide you information about your car, your opponents, yell at you or try to encourage you. And most importantly, he will spot for you, in case you have a car in you blind spot.

UI radar are immersion breaking and basically cheating, but this guy will tell you verbally if someone is there on your right. Download, install, select Asseto Corsa in game list, press "Start application" and it should work!

NO MODS THIS TIME!

Airlink, Steamlink, and VD had vastly different black levels.
Airlink is, for better or worse, the the best of the bunch.
VD need gamma increased to about 1.2 to match Airlink's dark detail, but then everything else is far too bright.
Steamlink does something similar to enabling Video Levels in VD. Turns out that option doesn't work as intended and the Quest side is unable to display the full range, but he kept it in there because some people like it that way. tl;dr all dark detail is discarded.
If you're running a Quest3, do enable the Content Adaptive Brightness Control in the experimental settings. In addition to lowering the brightness in dark scenes, it also adjust the contrast so you can actually see things in the dark. It's a shame that even the tiniest bit of light anywhere will disable it, but it's great for dim environments.

>>502375753
yea the atmosphere is top notch. it gets less scary once you get used to the cues the game gives you before you face any enemy so the general eerie atmosphere becomes less scare (for example you can hear nosalis/lurkers before you have to fight them usually and you'll see spiderwebs and small spiders before any big ones that can damage you)

what i dont like too is sometimes the spooky music peaks in intensity while there's absolutely nothing going on but i psychologically cant walk into an unknown room while 'there's a nosalis RIGHT BEHIND YOU ABOUT TO KILL YOU' type music is on full blast

new vrchat beta with vram management and streaming mipmaps is fucking great
showing all avatars, and its not exceeding vram

>>502382325
nice I don't need to optimize anymore

>>502382548
i can now see how madly very poor avatars eat cpu cycles, shits fucked

>>502382751

>>502382325
nice, happy for you poorfag

>>502382325
what's streaming mip maps? Does it override all the texture settings by default?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/220/HalfLife_2/
Half Life 2 + the episodes is free
pick it up and go play the VR mods

>>502385068
it allows to load lower res versions of textures on the fly, when you don't have enough vram for example

>>502385714
neat. I know mipmaps are usually baked in for CPU cycles saving, but streamed ones are for VRAM savings eh.

>>502299189
Reminder, Assetto at SRP in 45 minutes

ATTENTION ALL ANONYMOUS USERS

Are you an aspiring hobbyist in the realms of recording music and video lives?

Due to the recent feedbacks of the recording system used in Dreadfest also have been used in events such as idolfes, secret santa, halloween and much more
We will be hosting a live session brain storming in a VRchat map to full
Feedback brainstorming is headed by an orange bunny (Expert in video editing, sound design and recording)

If you have any interest in this kind of hobby, come join us 1.75 hrs from this post!
We will drop the map link then

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

>>502387265
This mini-brainstorming session will only last one (1) hr or sixty (60) minutes.

>>502385532
Half Life 2 VR is better than Alyx.

>>502387112
there is no option, its automatic

Mipmap streaming has been enabled.
This will dynamically load lower-resolution textures for Avatars and Worlds into VRAM as needed, meaning much more can be loaded before you start running into issues (stuttering, avatars failing to load, and hard crashes).
On PC, the budget is set once on load based on your GPU's available VRAM, with a little wiggle room left for the OS.

>>502391753
I get paid for one hour less but now they get to harass me 24/7.

>>502392065
J-joy... supervisor roles that are required to ensure that the team operates properly obviously needs a higher pay when you are on-call out of work hours as well.

>>502392065
that sounds like a quit on the spot type deal bro

>>502392263
nta but most supervisors I've had in my career do fuck all most of the day, belittle employees, pass over promotion-eligible employees to give themselves a bonus, and other bad behavior. Whenever they catch shit for it they do a total 180 and start micromanaging.

>>502393818
How do I as an owner of a company prevent this? I don't want to have managers be doing useless shit and actually do their job of ensuring the work process is smooth for his team

>>502393976
dont hire certain people

>>502394043
You have to be specific here. This is going into /biz/ territory but let's imagine we have a VR company. How do we make sure that the manager for the hardware division does his job as a manager properly? Essentially what are the systems necessary to prevent bad managers doing office politics and even preventing getting bad managers installed in the first place?

>>502394319
managers primarily waste space and waste time, while also wasting other workers' time
same can be said for pretty much all middle-management positions
they exist to put butts in seats and that's about it
honestly a flat hierarchy system sounds much better than all of the overbuilt corporate systems I've had the misfortune of working in, but it might be a grass is always greener thing and maybe workplaces are all just adult daycares after all

>>502394642
>flat hierarchy system
has no common direction, that works for smaller but numerous projects
any project bigger than 10 people needs someone leading the direction so tasks are properly delegated and getting done for the common goal of getting shit done
having someone to blame if shit goes bad (the responsible person) is also important in this regard
the manager is always at fault if his division is under-performing

>>502394990
putting a butt in a seat to use as a scapegoat is not actually helping anyone
companies wasting time on rehiring the churn for this kind of thing over actual people doing work is way too common
I have yet to meet a single person in a management/middle-management role that has ever left me with an impression that they are doing anything helpful
perhaps restructuring the work in mind to avoid needing that retarded chain of command and monkey-wrangling is the winner

Can anyone suggest some VRC games/worlds for 2 people to have fun in together?
Maybe I should specify non-ERP

>>502395301
Ah I think I saw a few differences on what a "manager" for me vs what a "manager" for you is.
For me a "manager" should be able to fill in and do any and all of the work his co-workers do under him. He is a manager not because he needs to just check up if people is doing their job. He is a manager cause he can visualize the output needed of him and all the work needed to deliver it. The only reason he can't do it all is because of time constraints of being a single dude. He should be able to do it all in theory given enough time, so to be able to deliver it on the deadline, I'll get him some co-workers to be under him.

I'm a firm believer of hiring and promoting from the team who does the work rather than getting "professional managers".

>>502394319
I am the supervisor from before. In my experience, managers are bad because someone above them is putting impossible pressure on them and they're not just intentionally being bad. I personally refuse to scapegoat others below me, but I am at the bottom of the stack and it gets much worse higher up. I don't think I could endure being a manager. The root problem is likely out of anyone's control and no-one at any point in the chain of command actually wants this. We much all pretend there's a simple solution because the alternative is despair.

>>502395630
Blonix Dungeon
UDON Sword

Crypt of the Spirits
Frank
Grabbity Gloves

>>502395904
That's a good perspective from the manager's / supervisor's side. Yeah there's definitely a balance to all these that are more complex than one would think initially.

>>502395724
>For me a "manager" should be able to fill in and do any and all of the work his co-workers do under him.
that would be nice, more of a team lead it sounds like
most companies don't do this and waste hours of multiple workers' time each day while also meeting with other managers above and below them all day so that they forget what they were doing or planning and repeat this ad nauseum

>>502396109
You know how when you're a child you think adults actually know what they're doing but then you reach adulthood and don't really know anything? It's the same thing. Everyone is just pretending all the way up.

>>502396308
>Everyone is just pretending all the way up.
Funny you say all that. I have been disillusioned by people a few years back and have stopped assuming that " they are correct and should just follow them. "

"Everyone is dumb until proven otherwise" is now my new motto.
It has helped me a lot in all the plans I want to do and enact.
I feel so much more at ease and actually get shit done now thanks to this.

This is literally the best feature VRChat has implemented since 2017. You can just show everyone. It JUST WORKS. It will never go over your VRAM. At worst it will just load low resolution textures of avatars instead. This how it should have been ALWAYS.

>>502406561
Indeed. Cama, Orenji and Uzugu did well recording and splicing for this one. We'll improve along as we go along from here on out too

how will this ever stop? what else am i supposed to do?
think it's a case to protest government overreach

I got side tracked and made a heelys like locomotion for FBT users. My goal was to make it not interfere with walking around or have it trigger randomly. It works by having you angle your heel up and kicking your leg. If its fast enough, and touching the ground, it triggers the gliding, which scales on how hard you kick and you steer with your kicking foot which feels pretty intuitive. Still polishing it up but it works good enough where it won't trigger when walking around. Though sometimes when running. At first I thought I would try to use the COM to apply the velocity but that was not fun as you had to really kick into the leg with a lot of force to trigger it. So i just made it use the velocity of the foot instead.

>>502413919
>allegedly being a pedophile without any proof

Ignore the guy that gets you kicked. They will eventually get tired
What you want now is to just enjoy and fully appreciate the 70% of the time where your friends are there for you. Be thankful you have friends who care for you and join you

This is the only way you can be sane right now and is possible thanks to VRchat instances being spread around anyways. No single instance has all anons

It is a really good map ain't it? I'll think about it maybe we can do it with Tournament tracking via paper and pen. Only issue is map doesn't have an announcer system. but maybe that's fine

Could also make it feel more official by having one guy be in an avatar with toggle systems for tournament tracking

>>502425970
this map FUCKS

>>502426498
>Only issue is map doesn't have an announcer system
No! Just a simple tournament for the sake of the game for those playing. Not some bloated SOS shit show for clout chasers

>>502427198
i agree, keep those grubby SEA hands off this potential event. not everything needs to be the SOS show.

>>502427198
>>502427338
We already played it during SEA exploration. If you want a tournament, someone has to assemble it. Why not SOS?

>>502427402
>Why not SOS?
has it ever occurred to you that there is a portion of people here that are tired of you having your fingers involved in every single event that ever happens here?

>>502427508
Why are you tired of it? I have always promoted others to do their own event. Have never stopped others from doing their own event. Why this level of hostility from you?

>>502427402
>If you want a tournament, someone has to assemble it. Why not SOS?
>>502427556
>I have always promoted others to do their own event.
this is one of the reasons why people are tired of you. you say one thing and then immediately contradict yourself.

>>502427753
What part of what I said prevented others from making their own event? Did someone start making the volleyball event yet?
You have to make sense anon

>wahh you do too many events

Well how about host your own event?

>wahh no actually if you say you don't mind then that just makes it worse how DARE you say you want non SOS events

Fact is that that SOS group is just a very active group and you're a fucking retard.

>>502427893
No anon you're just a stupid fucking retard who is too lazy to host his own events and is blaming your own lethargy on someone who isn't too lazy.

>>502427907
>>502427961

>NOOO YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO HOST YOUR OWN EVENT YOU *NEED* SOS TO DO IT FOR YOU
Respectively, go fuck yourself Yuki.

>>502428064
You don't need SOS or me to do it for you. Please go make it. If the volleyball event does not get made within 3 months I will take the mantle cause I think it'll be a fun one

>>502428135
I'm more than tired of your shit so I think I will contact the OP who suggested the event in the first place and set it up to make it happen.

>>502428393
Good luck! It's an event that sounds really fun isn't it? Looking forward to it. I still dislike how you're so hostile but I wish you the best and look forward to the event!

>>502428135
>You don't need SOS or me to do it for you.
>If you want a tournament, someone has to assemble it. Why not SOS?
which way, autist man?

No anon you're just a stupid fucking retard who is too lazy to host his own events and is blaming your own lethargy on someone who isn't too lazy.

>>502428608
Did you try reading the sentences you linked?
"Why not SOS" is a question of a suggestion on who could possibly assemble as potential event not a binding "I MUST DO IT" or "I WANT TO DO IT".

>>502428679
He's just messing with you at this point. Either because he was doing it at the start but now is doubling down after realizing he was wrong to save face.

>>502428746
Roger. Stopping replies for now. Still if anon channels his anger to something productive such as assembling an event for everyone to have fun with, I say that's a win for everyone

This is a /vrg/ dancing group/club open to any anon. It is first and foremost a ParaPara (dance style for eurobeat) circle but is also open to other types of dancing, such as Wotagei (dance style using lightsticks, on pause for now).
The main goal is to actively learn those dance styles with eventual content made out of it, anyone is free to join no matter if they want to take it seriously or just as a fun thing. No issues with 3 pointers either!

New song this time with "BAZOOKA PISTOLERO" by FRANZ TORNADO (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl_bnbcXe7k), has a few unusual use of static poses, the song seems kinda fun too! Of course we'll do the usual warmups on previous songs first

As usual, newcomers are always welcome and we'll adapt the session depending on who joins.

Good dancing everyone, song was funnier than usual one. See you next week for more parapara

mahjong in about 2 hours, 18~19 UTC
any takers?

finished the game, kind of a bittersweet ending. like all the endings to all the metro games.

i liked it

>>502460403
i was thinking of pinging the mahjong discord for a game around 21 UTC

>>502461270
how about we split the difference and i open the parlor at 20?

>>502461483
too early, sorry

>>502461603
try the link at 21, it will probably still be open

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

I'm now sad it's over...

>>502460885
man, you really did crank that gamma up

>>502452453
Apart from everyone's avatars can't you just link the other mod locations so the download is smaller (unless it's all just avatars then that's a lot of bloat).

>>502464325
There's 54 pallets in the modpack at the moment, and maybe 10 of them are avatars. If you really want to, I can give you a list of 44 mods to download manually next time (would recommend against subscribe button and mod.io downloader, from my experience it works like shit and it switches off some subscriptions at random), but I feel like it's much easier for everyone to just grab a single 6gb package and call it a day. It also guarantees same versioning and resolves pretty much all of the possible mismatch issues.

>>502464616
Had the limit too and opened the link in a private window it worked and downloaded in 10 minutes. If it works its very very convenient.

>>502464325
Some of the avatars could definitely be reduced in size a lot.

>>502464616
problem for me is the download never finished the 6gb. Always fails midway through and then have to wait through the "server overloaded" crap

yea i hope we'll get another metro game. last ive read they moved some of their studio because of the war.
kinda sucks that khan remained in moscow while the rest of artyom's group moved to baikal but who knows they might be reunited.

i really do like the metro world i should read the novel some day, i did 1 chapter of the audiobook but then got distracted

also the
>screen suddenly fades to black as your character is 'knocked out'
trope is gay and cringe and is twice as gay and cringe in VR.
this game tried to simulate your character lying down on the ground by tilting the entire world while your IRL headset is level. shit's a terrible idea

My shitty old VR headset just died a little bit ago and I can afford to get an index. Being I primarily want to play pcvr games and have no interest in using a non steam store, what should I do? Get the index, go for something else around the same price?

Slept in and missed bonerlab with the lads... I'm gonna make it to one of these things.

>>502487040
Yeah, I absolutely loved it as well. Just hope it was all in good intentions, because there's also the matter of server crashing repeatedly until nearly everyone left, so I'm not sure how to take it.

Anyway, good bonelabs.

Just got Quest Pro and my old possibly 1.0 Vive trackers are very janky with space calibrator. My torso is not tracking will and is lob-sided. I also have ancient 1.0 base stations that came with my old HTC Vive. Should I get 3.0 trackers or the "ultimate" trackers? Should I upgrade to base station 2.0?

Oh wow had a really cool once in a lifetime experience last night you can only get by hanging out with /VRG/!
We found the reddit famous coomer tech engineer @frostierfridge in a public world!
He took us to his Goonlab world and showed us his latest invention the GaRM v0.69!
We then all took turns testing it out!

Metro has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much talkingso far. I hope I get the revolver shotgun soon. Just got the not-AK and raped the gang of mouth breathers. Really should have given me a knife instead of the judo chop. And the ability to grab people from behind.

I didn't really try, but can you kill the armored dude/dudes with bullets/stealth takedown? Also, if you have no bullets, how are you supposed to kill rats? Can you pistol whip things?

yurt

>>502544056

>>502546445
you can pistol whip people. armoured guys have to be taken down with bullets, either a very precise headshot through the visor or just mowed down with body shots.

as far as i know there's no other way to kill beasts than bullets.

Can I somehow remove the Maximum sizes? I don't want to see impostors. Some config file maybe?

>>502556841
lmao

>>502546445
You can stealth kill armored dudes with the crossbow when you get it. You can also melee rats with your weapon but I'm not sure how much damage it does.

Vrchat finally starting its enshittification?

>>502560937
Don't slap every Booth outfit in one avatar

>>502560937
no, it's just imposing sane limits finally, so the avatars are not bigger than a fucking world you're in and don't take all the VRAM (although the vram issue is now completely fixed with streaming mipmaps and vram limiter)

>>502560937
There is no valid reason to have an avatar exceeding 200 MB.

I'm never doing this again, fuck this tower.

>>502572843
wireless + magnetic batteries you can switch out quickly like bobovr is the best experience imo

i tried playing with a magnetic usb cable initially and just gave up at some point

>>502579390
not that anon but I bought a Kiwi halo strap
it's got a 5400mah battery
i figure that should be enough for me

>>502579562
So that's like 3-4hrs of playtime for you? I barely do sessions longer than 2hrs

>>502576497
AV-42? vtoling is hard

>>502579737
It's that plus the Quest 3's own battery so yeah I think it might be enough for 5hrs pushing it
ideally i would obviously want a version with hotswappable batteries like bobovr but as it is what i have won't be a real limitation for a long while
i'm gassed after just 1-1.5hrs of playing H3VR Take and Hold

>>502580085
I bought kkcobvr halo strap with swappable batteries but it was so uncomfortable I trashed it. I don't know how people can handle those halo straps shits.

>>502580417
Same as QPro or PSVR - it's depends on your head shape being just right for the strap.

>>502579745
Yep. I bought OVRLRD and went throught it fully convinced that I'm a badass pilot like in Titanfall, sniping mechs from really far and raining artillery on poorfag flesh riflemen until I tried landing VTOL's newfag plane

>>502577213
Reread his post carefully little guy

>>502576440
Unity itself. Why do you need a tool for that?

>>502579562
i have 3 bobovr pucks (5200mah each) , can cycle them indefinitely i think

i did 5+ hour sessions of alyx,vertigo2,metro ... with these it's fun af.they beep when theyre discharged in 1-1.5h and you switch them in 5 secs

>>502580748
Dispite its arcade looks, VTOLVR is more sim than arcade.

Sign Language is based and impossible to moderate, come prove that with us. Life has settled down the chaos so I shouldn't need to miss sundays anymore like I have this past month.

i love you

>>502583643
I want to learn sign but my country's sign language, despite being english based, is different and objectively worse than american sign.

>>502481285
the only other 2 headsets worth buying right now are the bigscreen beyond and pimax crystal light. Look them up and think for yourself if they're worth more than the current price of refurb indexes. The bigscreen is a sidegrade in my opinion, I only like it for it's resolution and panels, everything else is worse. I haven't used the crystal light so I can't say. I have a reservation in for the crystal super so I'll leave my impressions of that early next year when it releases. Everything is kind of gay right now because resolution is pegged hard by lack of foveated rendering.

Golf+ lobby up!

>>502586441
if you only learn sign language for use in vr, american sign language is the one you need.
Learning one sign language helps learning others later.
Good signing today signers, glad we could figure out the sign for worse.

If you only care about VRC then sure, get Bigmeme or QPro. If you only care about simming then sure, get Pimax Crystal (not the fucking light). If you actually want to play all VR games then just get Quest 3 or Pico 4 and call it a day.

Q-Pro is worse than the q3 in every way unless your a VRC face troon. Why the fuck would you even get a crystal? It does nothing other than eyetrack over the light which only VRC would use again and requires a god damn battery for PCVR play. Also enjoy PCVR gaming on any standalone slop with that lovely latency shills will claim to not notice. Also I'm not recommend the bigscreen at all I'm more than well aware of how much it sucks. It's just the only option next the the light right now unless you really love wifi streaming. Just get a refurb index unless you love wasting money right now imo.

Just saw this news. Why are devs so fucking incompetent? They deserve to fail

Probably entered into a contract with Meta without reading the fine print and negotiating the dumb shit away.

Rookie mistake.

Probably something like FaceEmo or ComboGestureExpression.
