https://vrch.at/mw8rh80b welcome to hawk tuah fbf. spat on that thang 3459wvham times.

>>535473451 (Cross-thread)
Was originally put on Q2
it's crazy how good that game looks on Q3 if you use QGO override the resolution to native and FPS to 120

>>535473773
>splats

It's over.

EU Assetto Corsa: European Racing club
Race 102

18:00 UTC 20:00 CEST, 18th of August.

Hypercars in a pretty cool and complicated track. Be carefull, and not die!

60 minute practice
12 minutes qualifiers
11 laps race

Afterwards - Japan tourism.

If you just bought Assetto - 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.

>>535474381
are you a sociopath

>>535474381
gotta be pretty schizo to end up there not even an hour in

>>535474381
What does it mean to end up here? I was here on my second jump during SEA

>>535475426
You also get there if you're just the odd one out after matching. 51st person? Yeah no matches for you.

a wolf's confession.

>look at EU FBF
>Trashnigs

/trash/ by /trash/

>know that FBF is going on
>don't go
>but see pictures and know it's happening
>call it full of /trash/

I'm a genius.

90% of people here go to trash so seething about trash after 6 years is literal brain damage

>>535477323
sorry im too much of a prude to hang around perverts

>>535477323
I will always be part of the 10%.
I want to do cute things in VR, not lewd things.

>>535478902
You're just as much of a fag in my eyes

Can I join FBF on desktop or do i really got to have a VR headset (my display cable for my vive pro died last night)

American S, I'm sorry. I crashed to desktop just as we matched. I'll uncheck you!

>>535479836
desktoppers are for respawning on or for pee breaks

>>535478902
based beyond belief. i love freedom of expression you can have in VRC culture, but i'm not a fan of being openly degenerate purely because of aesthetics, i'm not judging people for doing it, i just think lewd stuff looks far better when it's a bit more subtle than orgy instances. pursuing virtual cuteness is exactly right in the middle

>>535480245
sadge guess i'll attend FBF next year then

>>535480245
no desktoppers here lil bro

>>535480331
don't listen to him and just join.

>>535478902
And that's fine, I like a very hard separation from trash and blue board too, but malding over people who go to both is just stupid. It's much more fair and reasonable to be mad at them if they're fucking or trying to fuck in FBF.

I know which new guy is a closet furry but I can't prove it

>>535481723
As one who lurks all four threads, there are quite a lot of you, you just refuse to admit it.

>>535473356 (Cross-thread)

Is FBF still going or did I miss it?

>>535483025
its barely started

>>535483025
Yes.

Hey (You!)! Yeah, (You), the one reading this! Sorry to stop you out of nowhere. I know this must seem sudden, but… have you ever considered becoming an idol?

I'm a producer and when I saw your smile just now… I knew. You have something special. Something that could shine on stage. And the timing couldn’t be better: The Idol Grand Prix is just 6 weeks away!

What is the Grand Prix? /vrg/'s top idols are all aiming to be #1 in a dazzling karaoke spectacle of Song, Dance and Fashion and I want (You) to sign up!! Pick a song you love, grab a friend or two if you want and come jam out on stage alongside other incredible acts.

https://forms.gle/Vr7GnGdjjDrjtcZF9

Sign up at the link above to participate or come cheer your friends on from the crowd on September 27th.

More announcements will drop over the coming weeks so stay tuned!

>>535483209
>>535483301
Well shit. I'll throw on my trackers

https://x.com/vr_hai/status/1956610638345560223
Seems the new VRChat TOS is for an impending Vision Pro port

>>535473986
This instance is dying please join.

shan't join a room with such an abhorrent post

>>535484201
I would, but I'm terrible at talking to people.

>>535483301
Ah fuck logging in for EU FBF I just woke up

It's another FBF episode where my entire friend circle vanishes to talk with randos they'll never speak to again.

Guess I'll just clean the house today

>>535484859
That's the point, let's chat!

>>535484859
Come break out of your usual circle and find other anons!

>>535484978
>>535485063
i dont feel like spending what little energy i already have on people that will not interact with me

>>535484201
dying? the 3459th impact is happening. https://vrch.at/mw8rh80b

>>535483936
its just iphone port coming out of beta

>>535486134
comparing it to gacha implies a 0.0001% chance of getting what you wanted, and a 90% chance of getting yet another one star roll that's pretty much worthless. you're ruthless, anon

>>535484201
I'm not bothering with this fbf, and going forward. I'd rather just meet people organically by forcing myself to go to normal instances hosted on the thread instead. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to make some frens outside of vr to play flatvidya or other vr games, but that's already extremely unlikely because I'll never rejoin any of the botnets out of principle.

My wivesthey are the same person

Teapot that's older than everyone in this thread my beloved :)

yeah but i wanna do it with the same person thats on thr right

Last day of Forefront's alpha. Can't wait for it to be on a real platform. Despite being locked to the Quest 3 and 3S and downgrading to questlets' deficiencies, the performance stutters here and there

https://streamable.com/tcodsj

>>535491139

Man, can't find a good headset for VR at a reasonable price.

>>535493523
I'll give you my old one

>>535493523
>Quest 3
>no, I mean poverty tier
>used Quest 2

>>535493523
the price is a decent filter to keep niggers and mexicans out

>>535489227
lmao. anon can pretend to be a woman for me

>>535494180
You don’t go to publics do you? The filter doesn’t work.

>>535494718
have you ever played a f2p game? it defintely works. its a mitigating factor, its not a hard line.

>>535494180

It's been so many years, why dont they make a VR-only option for instances? I've always thought this should be a thing since 2017

>>535495224
you aren't allowed to discriminate against desktoppers. it's against tos, or something.....

>>535495224
Just H Party, I think, used to have buttons you couldn't interact with on Desktop.

>>535495303
But....... it's called VR..... You know what, I wouldn't put it past the retarded fucks working on this game to actually have something like that on their tos.

>>535483343
P-kun.. how could i say nyo...

>>535495470
that's actually kinda genius. gatekeep desktoppers like those jp only worlds with a quiz, but make the buttons impossible to press without vr hands

>>535486576

>>535495109
even though they get through I like laughing when some 3rd worlder tells stories about how they had to starve themselves to buy a used 1 gen vive

>>535496031
nowadays you can detect desktoppers directly and could teleport them to a deportation camp or just mark them or whatever. The FBF map could add a 'no desktoppers' option to skip matching if they wanted. The "button behind wall that you have to reach through to activate" was a clever pre-udon trick though.

Visiting fbf was fun!

I wanted to FBF more when I woke up but I'm so fucking hungover

EU fbf is kind of empty this year huh? I remember when we'd have two full instances well into the night

>>535498059
trash hosts doing a shit job balancing

>>535498059
too many trashnigs

>>535498059
this guy killed it

too many blatant randos. like actual non booth furries.

>>535494180
Man, for how outdated and propertiary VR headsets are, you'd think they are managed by nintendo.

>>535498532
I would take that over what we have any day. At least then we'd have a few good games coming out every now and then instead of coping with indie titles that barely run

>>535498314
what did this guy do?

>>535497346
Don't you fucking dare! orange bunny is a fren!

>>535496976
My queen

>>535473986
>>535473986
dead instance

>>535499685
A dead instance with 65 people in it?

A classic

reposting SEA's Group photo from last night. NA instance is coming up in 2 hours and 45 minutes if my math is right

>>535499902
The 2nd instance you numpty.

I'm able to sit in lobby without being matched in fbf right? assuming there's room

>>535481723
Nigger

>>535497374
Glad you enjoyed yourself anon

>>535499931
The numbers... What do they mean

>>535500207
Yes. Lobby area is non-matching area

>>535500259

>>535500259
It means the financial system is crashing soon

>>535499938
grim

>>535497657
take your time to recover anon. thre's still na in a bit

>>535498059
I know a lot of EU on vacation irl this year. That may be it. Could also be a signal to return fbf into a once a year event. What do you think?

>>535500467

>>535498202
>>535498254
Mindbroken. Utterly. Fully.

>>535500691

>>535500667
I would assume that it is just a symptom of how EU has been bleeding people for a long time without enough new blood to make up numbers. I dont think changing the frequency of fbf is going to help, its just a natural order of things given how VR has been kind of shelfed as a medium. Maybe the deckard will bring along a new generation of VR when it comes out.

>>535500926

>>535498059
empty? you crazy? stop spreading lies to anons

>>535501132

>>535501153
are you a newfag or something? it used to be hard to get into either of the instances just a year ago, today we barely had either of them cap.

There's only been like 4-5 new people in the past year and all of them integrated so fast they didn't need FBF anyway

>>535499685
god i wish i could be as retarded as you anon

>>535501637
vr is dead for real this time

>>535501637
fbf was never REALLY about injecting newfags, it was more of a mixer between the already existing vrg people for most part. it was always 85-90% old people

hate nigger

>>535498202
>>535498254
sorry also forgot to call you retarded (duplicate file)

Dont really think the recently integrated rando who got spoonfed in through just H instances should be showing attitude

>>535502352
who?

>>535502623
>>535501781

>>535501781
but you are?

>>535502352
Hint.

>535502683
>535502718
it's okay to be new, don't make it too obvious

I hope people actually did like the pigeon and didnt just say it to be nice

>>535503542
given sasch has only been here for a year, he shouldnt be calling anyone new. he is like top 3 newest EUs. Just spoonfed from other communities since hes been in vrchat for 5+ years.

>>535489227
I can't blame the guy. I also don't like talking to women.

>>535503759

>>535503759
you are unironically retarded since you can't even get your dates straight, it's okay though anon.

>>535504284
your instance died and now you are in 0cake

>>535501637
I think it's just a fun and convenient way to talk to a bunch of people one on one especially since I don't play much anymore. Good way to catch up

>>535504284
nah im pretty certain. You joined in 2024 but you werent new to vrchat, because ive seen you in non 4chan groups for years prior. You've integrated okay but don't put up an attitude, you are still one of the newest newfags.

>>535504435
it's almost as we all from fbf co-ordinate these together.. crazy.. i know!
>535504498
it's okay to be stupid, again. was around way before but discrete. not giving a (You) for how dumb you are lmfao

>>535505689
I know enough about you because I have been around the block, yeah. I saw you get spoonfed in the first place.

love how spicy the zesty spoonfed newfags get when you call them out. theyve not been around 4chan long enough to grow some thick skin.

>>535504284
I appreciate you S. Thanks for hosting

I love my vr friends.

it was a fun session i had today.
it was my first fbf and i felt like i yapped to people way too much. this is why i am a bit reserved with these events, i dont want to make more people dislike me than they already do.
it was nice catching up with a few of you though.

goodnight

I feel like if you're going to be hosting events you should make a 2nd account and drop all your grudges, then use the 2nd account purely to host and organize. Dealing with ryder and any host who'll personally unfriend you is really fucking annoying.

>>535531078
I met them for the first time when we matched and they were pretty nice, they make cool things in blender. I love manukers though so I'm biased, if they were a fat fuck model I probably wouldn't have enjoyed meeting them as much

Several of the fbf rooms seem to have broken spawns now.
The tree house and the night scene with the square raised area are two I noticed today where it spawned us off to one side, like on a tree branch instead of in the room of the tree house.

>>535533937
FBF has been broken for like 5 years now
Appreciate everything the event organizers do every year but the map is shrimply fucked and I feel like every year is just building off the same fucked base. The matching is still a major issue after all this time.

Friend by Friend was fun. I love all the frens I got to talk to, and the not-yet frens I didnt get to talk to.

>>535534459
If you mean not getting matched when you feel like it should be possible, it's usually not possible to do any better while still satisfying the constraint that everyone gets a fresh match every time. Feels bad when you're the one left out but if it wasn't you it'd be someone else. Hard to explain the graph theory in a way that makes sense to drunk retards unfortunately.

group photo?

I thought fbf was today... i missed it bwos

>>535540980

Yeah, basically two full instance as per usual for NA. I wonder if we shouuld start doing group photos for the 2n instance too but it's really not practical

>>535542370
YES CUNTT

>>535542449
the map should have a built in feature so that every 60 minutes everyone gets teleported to the same room for a quick group photo and then we keep moving. by the end of the day we could share all the group photos and see the population shift hour-by-hour

>>535542658
The map should do it every 60 seconds because it is far more important to let everyone else know you were there than to actually be there

>>535542658
Oh fuck that's a great fucking idea. I'll run with the other sos members if it's viable

>>535542781
You should also make a public list of who is there and give out auras and level ups to people who are there longer

>>535542781
I disagree it would mess with the flow and would require someone who has a good enough PC to have all avatars shown every hour

>>535542781
think about either once per hour or once per two hours. people say fbf runs for 36 hours and you might have more than one instance so by the end of the day you could have like 100 pictures but idk it's up to you

Once again I've done the silly thing, once again I will regret this tomorrow.
But once again I had a fantastic time with everyone I matched with at FBF and will gladly do it all again with every single one of you. Thanks everyone!

The organizational part was a clusterfuck, but that is to be expected nowadays, I guess. Seems like it gets worse with every event.
One could notice that the trash host was inexperienced in actually filtering out people, prolly because he never really needs to filter out people when hosting his fuck meet. So, what I was expecting anyways lol.

I have a quest 2 that never use because because of two issues, glasses and motion sickness.

I know the fix for glasses is just wear contacts or smaller frames that fit under the headset, but what the fuck do I do about motion sickness?

>>535571832
Keep using it.

>>535571832
Actually for glasses you get inserts that magnetically snaps to the headsets lenses

>>535572135
Shit really? That’s the trick? Anyway to soften the motion sickness? A friend suggested sitting or lying down but I haven’t tried yet

>>535572435
I actually get more sick sitting down because then I have to turn around using the stick, try standing up and use your body to turn around

>>535572435
Some say having a fan blowing air at you helps. Haven't tried that.

>>535572435
>Anyway to soften the motion sickness?
If you are getting sim sickness, you already played for too long. Keep playing until you start to feel dizzy, then stop IMMEDIATLY, don't try to push through you will fuck up your brain and might not be able to play vr properly ever. I'm not exaggerating.
After a while the sessions will get longer and longer, until eventually you could play indefinitely.

If you are a retard and tried to push through anyway or played for longer than you should, smelling isopropyl alcohol and chewing ginger might help.

>>535572653
I found sitting didn’t make me as sick but I think that’s because I was trying Squadrons when it was new and didn’t need to do a 180 while standing still.

But I’ll try that with the fan suggestion.
>>535572695

Do you think they'll be using the SeeYa panels? If so it undercuts even the cheapest Dream Air SE by $100

>>535573320
I tried to push through once and was laid out for an afternoon but that was 2-ish years ago now, I’ll try for short bursts instead, thanks anon.

Get inserts. Glasses inside headsets suck but you can get lens inserts from various places. I would recommend one but I literally can't remember the last place I got mine from since it was years ago.

>motion sickness
Motion sickness is temporary. Just rest when you start feeling sick and try again later. eventually the sickness will stop happening. Doesn't take too long.
When I first played VR I was dying after 15 minutes and it was like OH SHIT DID I WASTE MONEY but I can handle all sorts of motion now and I don't get sick at all

I don't know what that is.

>>535582752
no, it seems the only type of people who enjoy this thing are speed gooners

I've been enjoying FBF less and less every time. The event should change with the times and with the users. Actually kick or outright ban the coomers from future FBFs since it's just speedmating 0.8 right now and people go just to erp.

I'm tired of every single vrg event becoming the fucking soulless slop of drink and shout and erp. Where the fuck am I supposed to go if im tired of alcoholic personality lacking faggots making everyone loser addicts?

No. I don't mind that guy but his copycats are annoying.

>>535587376
I was pleasantly surprised this time. I dodged (almost) all the undesirables. It's a high variance event though, depending on which instance and time slot you're in, plus just random chance. I would like to attend an FBF where all anime avatars are banned. While not every anime avatar is for coomers, every coomer is in an anime avatar, and somebody that can't switch to something else for even a single event wouldn't be a huge loss. And "no anime" is a lot easier to enforce than trying to draw some line on """wholesome"""" anime. Obviously no furries either.

>>535587376
I didn't see coomers do anything weird to be fair, but I share the fatigue on fbf for different reasons.

As an EU, the main reason I got bored very quickly this time was because most of the people I was paired with were people I literally would never see again until next FBF. There is way too many of either NA people (who don't come to EU timezone activities) or people who do not log in outside of bigger events. The better matches I got were with people that I regularly see around; simply because it allows to discuss a bit more privately than usual, but without feeling like a complete waste of time.

Kind of wondering if the event's goal for many went from an opportunity to actually make new friends, to just a roulette that allows to talk with complete strangers

>>535592743
i can kinda see that, made some new friends but alot of my best matches were people i just dont get to talk to as often as id want 1 on 1... tho i did get a bit drunk and coomer-y near hour 15

>>535592743
>just a roulette that allows to talk with complete strangers
i won't deny people doing that if this is what they want to do. name might be misleading, but i guess there's some fun in talking to literal whos who are from here, but never hang around. if we'd host FBF where only regulars come over, it would be kinda pointless for everyone aside of complete newfriends because we all know each other

>>535592743
>event's goal
I dunno man, it really feels like this event (and others tbdesu) are just going through the motions nowadays. There might not be a goal to begin with.
The events happen because... I guess because they happened in the past. Same with christmas, secret santa, idol event and now the ted talk and the race war.
Feels kinda boring, feels kind of like "been there". Kind of like a band that plays the same 5 songs everywhere they go even though they actually could play different and most likely better songs.

>if you don't optimise your avatar vrchat will force everyone else to see you in a furry avatar
Honestly the best case for having a medium version I've heard yet.

I thought avatars just used the impostor system now instead of fallbacks

Is it possible to stream non-youtube movies or videos in VR chat on in-world video players? Watching movies with the bros is so comfy on VRchat...

>>535615470
You have to manually press the imposter button on your avatar because automatically doing that would be too hard for VRC

>>535615470
They should—unless they forget to actually press the generate imposter button on the site, which is also likely.

I love how everyone just ignores the elephant, or better say the dog, in the room.

>>535615973
>>535616049
im pretty sure youve not had to do this since it was in early beta. All my avatars already have it done and ive not done it for any avatar since at least last year if not even longer. There is an option in the in game settings to use/not use them though.

>>535616183
>im pretty sure youve not had to do this since it was in early beta.

>>535616264
Last I uploaded an avatar was this week. It already has an impostor automatically. The only option I have when i go on to there is to remove it.

>>535616380
I uploaded one last night and it does not have an imposter, so either you're wrong and dumb or have something in your workflow doing it for you without you realizing.

>>535616585
https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Impostors
>When uploading or updating an avatar, an impostor will automatically be generated.
so im not insane

>>535616926
I was on quest yesterday and someone came in with their new avatars and it showed me a fallback instead of an impostor so this has to be ultra new

>>535617173
its not. Its worked the same way for at least a year. Only reason it wouldnt that I can think of is that the avatar either wasn't something supported or they had uploaded so many avatars that they hit the 10 per day cap. Or maybe having a super old SDK just doesnt do it?

>>535616926
Like I said, literally uploaded one yesterday and it doesn't have an imposter, so unless there's a massive que, which seems unlikely since requesting an imposter goes through in seconds, it's not automatic and instead being done on a case by case basis because VRC is retarded.

I think you own the anon an apology for calling him dumb.

>>535617465
is it possible that youre vrchat SDK is a version from 2023 or older?

>>535617676
Nope, created a new project and used the most up to date SDK as a matter of fact.

Are there any good resources on custom vrchat models? I’m a furfag that wants to buy a premade model but I keep reading that they need all this extra stuff to work properly.

>>535617848
I've no idea why it doesn't do it for you then. Are you still using the 2019 unity?

>>535621541
i know it's your goal yuki; question was if it was the participants' goal

>>535621129
Take a bit to recover and look at the pictures you took during the event. Also drink water!

do not be mean to me, i like you :c

>>535592743
>The better matches I got were with people that I regularly see around; simply because it allows to discuss a bit more privately than usual
I’ve been theorizing of a modified FBF matching where it’s 10-15 minute long matches and everyone is instructed by the host to checkmark everyone in the list that they don’t know yet.

Leaving only people you know who you can have a deep long conversation with.
The host then ferries anyone else who got left behind into another activity just in case cause it basically hardlocks the map for 10-15 mins at a time
I wonder if that’s a viable special occasion fbf.

>>535620470
>If you have any ideas how to purify it more, please do say so.
Not letting literal coomers host the event would be a start I guess

>>535622863
>10-15 minute long matches
No 5 minutes is already too long for some people

>>535623667
Well we sort of already offered on the thread who wants to replace the hosts they don't like and we had no takers. I'll always appreciate anyone who wishes to help out. It's hard enough to fill out the hosting spots, so we need proactivity from purer people like you anon. (not sarcasm)

>>535624464
>is already too long for some people
that's why there's the instruction of
>everyone is instructed by the host to checkmark everyone in the list that they don’t know yet.
You'll only get matched in theory with people you like already and only wish to get in deeper conversations with

oh right, it's the "after the event" phase where yuki will comment and ask for feedback that he will ignore unless he had something like this in the back of his mind already anyways.
It's also the phase where he will overcomplicate everything, making the next iteration of that even absolutely worse than before.
history repeats itself.

>>535622863
There's a map that I know exists but I haven't been able to find again that tracks where everyone is looking and if you're looking at another user, it increments a meter above their head (which also decays over time). So you get a visual indicator of who has been looked at the most, which serves as a proxy of who has been talking the most.

While it's definitely not a perfect system (people will stare at overlays with you in the background, or desktoppers will alt tab wherever), it did make me think of more organic ways to prompt conversation change than teleporting people into rooms. Like, if one person is dominating the conversation for too long (as detected by gaze), slowly fade out their voice volume. Or draw lines on the floor to other people you haven't talked/stared at and slowly fade out the lines to people you've already interacted with a lot, and let people mosey around.

If anyone knows which map that was, please link it. I think it was by one of the jp map makers that do a lot of experimental udon gimmicks like S_ASAGIRI, but it's not them.

>>535622863
You already have Thad's House system for matching with people you know where you manually thumbs up/down people

>>535622863
it's not a good idea, it's trying to give a compromise to the issue rather than fixing it
there's no need to fix it especially a day after the event; give it some time and worst case people who have fbf fatigue simply don't join

is there an updated koikatsu to vrchat guide or is the 6? year old video the only source?

>>535626227

>>535620119
sorry checked you off, idk if we could have a conversation without being awkward. no harsh feelings but you didn't seem the social type after i met you 2-3 times at fent and loco. i'll speak to you soon! (i promise)

>>535626265
I'm willing to because I want to graduate from being booth slop with swapped textures

Just make everyone use avatars like Mamehinata, Azuki, Kipfel, etc.

That's a terrible idea. 5 minutes is already too long

Also please update the shaders in the world. That "unity standard shader with the smoothness set to the default 0.5" glimmer is the ugliest thing in the world. Thanks

Any good models on booth with a painterly aesthetic? preferably androgenous or nonhuman, but standard girl models are fine too

>>535628521
I've uploaded 9 avatars in the past couple months, and didn't manually generate imposters for any of them.
Just checking now, I see that the first 5 have imposters, and the most recent 4 don't. Even though the most recent 6 were uploaded on the same day. So the first 2 from that day got an imposter, but the following 4 did not, or maybe just not yet?
I'm guessing vrchat has an internal slow moving queue to do these, but will bump you up in the queue if you request it sooner.
Actually, checking an older avatar I uploaded in june, and it doesn't have imposters. But a different one from june does.
For context all of the mentioned avatars are ones I sell on the vrc marketplace, so whatever treatment they're getting internally should be the same for all of them, but it seems not to be.

>and worst case people who have fbf fatigue simply don't join
That’s the thing we’re trying to solve/prevent. Mixing requires people to actually go to it

>>535635354
rebrand it as "Social Gacha" and find a way to gamify it or something

>>535635354
"fbf but you only match with people you know" would die a lot quicker and would also just isolate and shut out anyone who is new and doesnt know a lot of people yet. It would hasten the death of the community rather than abate it.
It would basically be systematic bullying of people who aren't in the "in" crowd.

>>535633186
just go fit some booth costumes for other avatars on your lapwing.
Blender for that is not even that hard, just some patience and you'll eventually get the hang of it.

>>535635354
You tend to jump the shark a bit too quickly by attempting additional system trying to please everyone, but it will end up with no one satisfied.
I explained my own reasons for fbf fatigue and it's unknown (most likely unilikely) if a significant amount of anons share the same issues. The idea you proposed simply walk around the problem without understanding what is wrong.
It's an issue that lies deeper into the core execution of the concept AND how the environment (thread, community attendance, newfags cycles, ...) have changed, adding *super special round with new rules every hour* isn't gonna solve it

theres too many people i dont know any already too many people i do know and theres not enough room in my social life for the people i dont know to enter so fbf's purpose of meeting new potential friends is null and void

>>535640578
I have the same fatigue as you, but the second I read this new idea I thought this could actually work.
I think it's an extremely good idea and Y should definitely go forward with it!

>>535640578
>It's an issue that lies deeper into the core execution of the concept AND how the environment (thread, community attendance, newfags cycles, ...) have changed
What do you think the root issue is then? The lack of overlap between anons that only show up for FBF vs "regular meetups"?

this whole time i've been using virtual desktop with my laptop connected to the router via WiFi, and i was having the time of my life with HL2VR.

>>535642620
The root of the issue is that /vrg/ is massive and that there is a sizable portion that don't get the intention. If there was a way to automate it so that you couldn't match with people on your friends list already it would be better.

>>535631469
Use blender but don't use koikatsu bodies

idk whats with anons here talking about their FBF experience being bad. im a newfag and it was my first FBF, and also i stumbled upon it accidentally, thinking it was a SEA exploration (which was actually tommorow). it was SEA FBF, but theres some NA and EU anons (barely any SEA actually), and all the people i talk to are pretty cool, as in nothing weird happened or things getting awkward, at least i hope so with the people im talking with as well. the worst experience i had with /vrg/ community so far is in today's SEA exploration where i was spraying a watergun at their face and threatening to block me if i dont stop. if you see this just do it and dont tell people that youre blocking them next time you bitchass nigga.

some anons did say that the FBF will get diluted with some bad eggs when the real NA and EU regulars trickle in, so i dont have anything to say about that lol

FBF selfie!

>>535644597
you will come to understand, every big event gets anons kvetching in the thread afterwards about how it should have been done differently and how trashnigs are ruining it, etc., etc. (and the bigger the event the more complaining for a longer time)

>>535644597
Was this posted from internet explorer? Also obligatory TKD

>>535644597
>im a newfag and it was my first FBF
and instantly your opinion doesn't matter anymore
you are new, you have nothing to compare your experience with

>>535644883
I wish I made more selfies

I genuinely enjoyed FBF this year. Keep up the good work.

>>535644597
while >>535645023 is right that it's a lot of reporting bias, the experience is also pretty bimodal. Like for every great match that 2 anons get, several other anons get only okay or worse matches. I don't think it's always zero sum (e.g. if the random matching happens to match everyone within cliques that get along internally but not externally, that's substantially more utility than if all the matches are inter-clique), but that variance plus the human bias to overweight bad experiences over good ones means some anons will have a good time and go on with their life, and some will have a bad time and complain about it.

I don't actually know how the math works out though. Would be interesting to run some simulations.

>>535644597
>e i had with /vrg/ community so far is in today's SEA exploration where i was spraying a watergun at their face and threatening to block me if i dont stop.

oh yeah i understand this theory from looking at internet reviews, people are more inclined to give reviews if they have a bad experience than good experiences.
>>535645131
hey i dont know bro, im giving it a fair comparison as if im meeting someone in real life the first time. i think having to set an expectation of that as the base is reasonable. call me naive but i expect people to have decent social skills in a social oriented game

The people who complain the most about FBF are autists that already don't like people but they're incapable of pretending the event just doesn't exist due to the aforementioned autism.

>>535648185
you sound like a really really pleasant person that I hopefully will never encounter

>>535645131
It’s like looking at a painting. Someone who has never seen the painting before has as much if not more of a fairer assessment of it than someone who has already been hedonistically acclimated to the current matters imo

My mental gymnastics aren't strong enough to follow you making this leap. I can accept that the newfriend didn't have the chance of seeing the cracks and the mismanagement for years.
Good for him. I wish I was that unaware, I really do.

i enjoyed fbf

>>535645131
You're a retarded nigger unfortunately. The whole point of FBF is to get people to meet new people and give new people a chance to actually talk to people outside of their established cliques. It's the old hands whose opinions don't matter.

>>535651163
What’s the mismanagement of fbf?

>>535641764
It could be done as a separate thing from fbf or replace the REWIND we do on august and maintain the normal fbf on february

Yeah fbf was mid. But it's fine, I already did the airport thing and said it was my last /vrg/ event.
Will be at normal hangouts I guess, but the events are "eh".

If you don't go to fbf you can't call anyone a rando for 6 months.

>>535653912
they're not randos anyways. they have posted in or read the thread once within 12 month in the thread, so they are /vrg/

>>535652609
>FBF is on a saturday night
>SEA explore is on a sunday night
i can see why

>>535653554
I probably won't
I'm not a big drinker but for some reason VRC is more awkward for me than irl conversing and I kinda just hover around like a tard if i don't have at least a few beers

>>535656448
My theory on this is the lack of full expressions and subtle body language, you get a lot less 'true' feedback while conversing with people in vrc so you don't have as many subconscious cues to go off of that you'd usually use to gauge how the convo is going. Alcohol makes you more bold so you can push past that.

>>535653912
>>535654129
Just using 4chan and the thread once in a while is enough imo. But having people actually come and inter mix with each other is important too.

I've been thinking if it's a good time to take some ideas out of the playbook of the normies and japanese who are good with keeping big communities together.
Think Doujinshi events like Reitaisei of touhou or furality of the west.

On a deeper note, what is it exactly that allows a bigger community to think and act for the greater continuation of the group?
I've always thought it was consistent effort with and for each other, communication, fun/novelty, common theme and recollection of happy memories that make people stay through thick and thin.

This is why most of the events I've made are using these five main principles

1) Communication - FBF
2) Recollection of Happy Memories - Vault, Tanabata
3) Effort for/with Each Other - Secret Santa, Tanabata, Easter Egg Hunt, sports festival
4) Fun/Novelty - Sports Festival, Easter Egg Hunt, Dreadfest, Halloween, Wheel of 4chan
5) Common theme - Fumo, Fashion, Halloween
etc.

Some events utilize multiple principles.
What do you think anon?

>>535642620
>The lack of overlap between anons that only show up for FBF vs "regular meetups"?
Rather the proportion of people you'll never see outside of fbf (regardless if because of timezone, no activity overlap, or because they literally don't log outside fbf) compared to the proportion of potential actual friends.
So again, difference between people interested in just talking to many steangers, compared to people who wants to either re-inforce (people you see outside fbf, but opportunity to talk more privately than usual) or make new connections (newfags who plan to log in when your timezone is active).

>>535622863
I don't know how to tell you this, but if there's anyone you want a deeper or longer conversation with, you just talk to them outside the event. The entire point of the quick format is to FIND those people.

>>535577951
Yeah okay
>>535653912

>>535669874
I agree. Was just musing on potential solutions.
Could be fun to try at least once.

The quick format also only works if people show up for it. We do still have good amount of people showing up but what is specifically we could try to find a solution for hopefully is the so-called "fbf burnout".
Intermixing only works if everyone both new and old goes to it.
Eventually even new people become old and could be subject to feeling the same "burnout".

The solution we need to think of is how to help against this burn out.
Making it more novel? or a more polished system? Lesset rarer fbf?
I genuinely don't know and just throwing darts right now.

k-holing at FBF came pretty close I'd say. losing autobiographical memory, forgetting I had a body, and having the scene change every 5 minutes felt like the singularity already happened and we're in ancestor simulation replaying the birth of VR in some flavor of digital eternal recurrence

>>535671753
i tried playing cosmodread(too scary) and propagation paradise hotel on shrooms
paradise hotel has resident evil save rooms and i found myself hiding in them too long
cosmodread was terrifying and i gave up after like 3 mins. never even saw a monster or ghoulie it was the noises
so many vr games are like, typical horror. If there's something like you're describing I'm not aware of it, but it would be cool
like a fisherman's tale but spooky instead of salty

>>535672921
What's a k-holing?

>>535674838
an altered state of consciousness induced by taking too much ketamine

>>535670798

>>535675049
Neat. I can see that. I've talked with people that didn't even take drugs but after 12+ hrs of FBF has mentioned that their memories have mixed together. Even more so when you take drugs then

>>535688963
if i can't drink and drive in VR where can i drink and drive?
that webm is scary as fuck though. it says "light ice" on the racenet site, and there's fucking white stuff on the ground. I cannot possibly do worse than i did on greece

>>535689094
Ice in this event is ridiculous, it's as if you're hitting a switch that turns FFB off and multiplies grip by a static 0.1. I miss DR1/DR2 ice patches, at least those had a decency to be patches surrounded by grippy areas, in WRC event i'm fairly certain you could ice skate on the surface and you'd never trip over because it's 100% smooth over entire length of the road

>>535689269
how different is it from "snow" because the sweden map (before i joined the vrg club) were my best times by LEAGUES above my skill level.
the spike tires are ridiculous
I feel like I'm gonna crash the second i hit the handbrake. maybe i do a shakedown in single player before putting my time up lol

>>535569848
can confirm, here for 7 years, big loser

>>535689519
Very different, it's easy to find grip in snow and it kinda builds up as you load up your tyres with some weight, ice is just plain snapping you out of grip all the time. Do shakedowns, do practice, get used to it.

>>535689886
ok, I'm sufficiently scared.
I'll do some practice and put my times up tomorrow probably

>>535688997
>Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa themed Secret Santa would go hard!

>>535689269
There are patchy areas, but they are short. And yeah, its sometimes better to outright drive on the snowy sidewalk than on the road. In the snow you at least have a bit of traction. On these ice stages you kinda need to treat it as a slow motion drifting competition. You have more chances of succeeding a turn by rotating the car and accelerating sideways than following grip racelines.
