Whoa, this thread has the most comments I've ever seen on Lemmy, I think.

Thanks! I'm embarrassingly late on posting the playlist from 2025. I'll get that posted this weekend!

I’m another person who uses VR mostly for VRChat. I hang with friends, co-host a weekly movie night, and run/maintain The Great Pug. I host large parties for Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day. — If any lemmings would like to join the next event, or the Discord server, hit me up on Discord.

There’s a thing common to a lot of VRChat users in how they only play VRChat. It’s what VR is.

I have the original Beyond, and stick to PCVR. It’s where all the cool club spaces are too.

I also have a Vision Pro. And I use that mainly for watching movies and shows, and socializing with a close friend.

Right now, I’m looking forward to the day where VR feels less unfinished and janky. It surprises me just how Janky VR still is. And the jank is still present for a wide variety of reasons.

Yeah it sucks. Meta shit all over the term. And then every other company jumped on board claiming their stuff is a metaverse too. Even Microsoft claimed Teams was a metaverse.

This is because they include stuff like Roblox in the definition of Metaverse. I personally hate that.

If we kept it to SocialVR titles, the demographics would shift to something more balanced, afaik. VRC bans people under 13 when they are discovered/reported.

Thats the thing. Adults talk shit about it. But it’s mostly the younger generations that are active in VR.

You have your demographics backwards.

lol what? I’ve been using VRChat for almost 10 years and I’ve seen maybe 4-5 people with avatars that smoke.

I’ve never touched Roblox tho… I’m a bit offended that it’s considered a Metaverse.

 

VRC Light Volumes is an optimized nextgen voxel based light probes replacement and analytic lighting solution for VRChat.

Version 2 contains tons of optimizations and new features. If you use an avatar that is compatible, be sure to update your shaders to use new v2 compatible versions!

That title is a bit misleading. Unfortunate.

The whole avatar is sold. Not what it’s wearing. But I guess you could call the whole body fashion too.

VRChat is an option. Takes effort to make your way to the cool people tho.

I have a 5 gallon bucket 3/4 full with just USB cables of all types.

It sucks that religion is so fucked up broadly. We should be able to feel this way about all persons in similar positions as her.

[–] owlboy@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I think they might just have very different design philosophies, and there isn’t a way to make it look like that.

 

The review board previously investigated a 2023 hack of Microsoft Exchange Online, producing a report that called out "a cascade of security failures at Microsoft." More recently, it has been investigating how the Chinese hacking group called Salt Typhoon infiltrated major telecom providers such as Verizon and AT&T.
