How do you all balance calling out things that might be (unintentionally) hurtful, and not being "that guy" that seemingly can't let anything go?
I wish the answer was "always call it out," but realistically I feel enough side-eyes on me and I don't want to feel even more ostracized for it.

Yesterday USPS delivered my Shelter jacket to somebody else, and after I filled out a claim form for the lost package they showed up today to yell at my video doorbell as if they had delivered it to me by mistake and it was meant for someone else.

No symbolism or fancy photography for my #VRC12Photos, just a small reflection of the past year and the friends I got to share it with.
(you can definitely tell which months I wasn't around much or just forgot to take photos; bless everyone who takes the time to capture and share the moments)

The next time you're about to make another edgy sarcastic joke about your friends that might be a little bit too real, just tell them something that you like about them instead. I promise they'll appreciate that so much more.
Jokes are fun, but everyone just wants to feel valued once in awhile.

If you were considering getting a backup pair of Index controllers, you might want to snag them soon just in case they get de-listed from the Steam store when the Frame releases.
The bundles have been sold out for a while but the (separate) left and right controllers are still in stock... for now.

Also, sorry to anyone that didn't get a Sheltercon 7 Wiggler sticker from @lightbulb.systems or I! It was a very limited run but they turned out so much better than we expected.
Fun fact: the only way we were able to get these at any reasonable cost was to import them from some guy in Ukraine.

My biggest contribution to Sheltercon 7 was hitting the fog machine so much that people had to use a flashlight to see the decks.

All other opinions aside, I think my biggest takeaway here is that it's very reassuring to me that mainstream companies are still investing in VR and not just dismissing it as a failed thing of the past.

To everyone I'm about to see at Sheltercon, _please_ be just a little extra patient with me. Right now I'm immensely burned out from every angle irl and online, and throughout my whole vacation I'll be balancing hanging out with being a buzzkill 'bad guy' trying to keep the spaces safe for everyone.

i've been sitting on this for a long time -- i keep coming back to it whenever anything "happens" around vrchat's club scene
it's not particularly about this moment, or any other

Sorry to blunt post, but lately I've been finding the vibe at a few of the places I frequent to just feel 'off.' I know we're all going through it rn and it's totally okay to vent or shitpost or poke fun at friends sometimes, but lately it feels like that's been dominating most of the conversations.

People who make negativity a part of their core personality are not people I want to surround myself with.
Nobody in particular, I'm just getting exhausted by those who never seem have something positive to say. Being the one to try to find the flaws in everyone/everything is not a badge of honor.

I know it's obvious but it's still crazy to me how much better I feel after being able to catch up on sleep. Even just one or two 3-day weekends a month would fix me...

can you imagine how great the human equivalent of an ant finding like a dropped cheeto or something on the floor would be? just stumbling on 100 times your body weight in free food and nobody to stop you from taking it all. you wouldn't have to think about grocery shopping for weeks.
hell yeah.
hell yeah.

Hot take: I'm really over the "for free?!" meme. If it's CLEARLY a joke pic then maybe, but often it's "enhance!" on someone's unrelated photo just to make a comment that basically says "well if you didn't want to be sexualized, why didn't you cover yourself up" which makes me feel so uncomfortable.
