I'd say I'm disappointed but tbh this is practically what I expected (and been saying for months). A Quest competitor rather than something for die hard VR users.

Will absolutely get myself a new Steam Controller though. Loved the old one but the lack of sticks made it annoying as a daily driver.
Announcing: New @steampowered.com Hardware, coming in 2026:

Steam Controller
Steam Machine
Steam Frame.

I'm still thinking about my friend ObseqV4. He passed away a year ago today. He's made such an impact on my life and rekindled my love for music. I'm so glad to have met him. Love you buddy and I miss you. ObseqV4ever ❤️🔋

I've had actual arguments with people about "Separating art from the artist." There's no separating this. Like Idk what to tell you, but trans people should be more important to you than like dobby the elf or whatever
J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

Well got disconnected for "VRC is not responding" 4 times over the course of 30 minutes. Big fan of how stable everything is. At this points is either disconnects or 1 FPS IK.

Not even a hot take. If I watch you call trans fems bro. Then say some shit like “I call all my women friends bro”

A: idc fuck you
B: if I watch you not call your cis fem friends bro I’m throat punching you
Trans hottake, I don't like being called bruh or bro. Even if it something you cant get out of your vocab dont use it towards me. My one hot take of the month.

Well my air fryer just yeeted itself into the after life.

Well ... I guess my new unique quirk is wanting an air fryer but not buying one 😭

I guess this is what you call a well timed power move ...

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Discord's UI department clearly had fun drinking and rolling dice for the various sizes for their new design.

Nothing aligns, nothing is the same size and everything is spaced different. Fun.
March 26, 2025 at 9:42 AM
Soo it's been over two months since I stopped drinking ... and I've been out of the party scene for about the same amount of time.

I really don't know whether it's just me but I've really not been feeling welcome since. Every time I attempt to get back into it, I just feel like an outsider.

Seems like even duckduckgo has fallen to the AI slob now. If I search for "<technology> <thing I want to do>" it either ignores the tech I want to use (often returning a competing solution) or the thing I want to do ... neither of those result sets is useful.

Nice to randomly see my worlds pop up in my social tab more often recently ... even though every time I join these lobbies I feel like they're not good enough and I need to put in way more effort ...
March 1, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Well ... Every single fan on my ASRock Threadripper board has gone bad. The first one died a month or two in. The second just perished 3 years later.

Not sure about that build quality ...

Bit of a bummer that the #VRChat yt-dlp seems to always be just behind enough for me to have like a 25% chance of being able to watch a video.

Haven't been able to exist in a lobby without going "I can't see that" since around Christmas.

I maaaaay need to figure out a better menu system soon though ...

simply: Lounge will also get a small update today to improve the photosensitive UI a little bit (basically include all the changes I've made in Factory).
February 18, 2025 at 7:45 PM
Smol update to simply: Factory which introduces a new experimental motion reduced mode, photosensitive + admin + user toggles.

Motion reduced is something I meant to write ages ago. Give it a go with your videos!
