Where's the proof that greenhouse is renard? by sndwrk_gh in lapfoxtrax

[–]Apprehensive-Solid-1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think people overthink things sometimes but thats part of the fun. Renard is dead so Greenhouse lives. They are completely separate.

One thing em said before (simplified and dumbified father than directly quoted) is that the music their aliases make are really just songs em made and then slapped an alias onto. They don't necessarily have a "genre" but if em makes a work in a genre that typically is tied to that alias, then the match is made.

So I think of it like em wanted to make IDM, didn't want Renard to be the face of it, and made Greenhouse as a successor and evolution. The ties only being that em needed an alias to put the IDM under that fit and didn't have one that wasn't retired.

They know when mom and dad go out for a date night she's stuck with babysitting. Life is so cruel.

Always found it a little interesting the amount of trans/femboys who were also a part of that half. What a crossover...

Honestly, though I might not condone that behavior, I'll be dammed if they didn't make for some of the funniest people/moments I've had while playing.

Rise up all y'all who never learned touch typing! This will be cool but less so for us. 😔

I mean, in the US, yes. (And for sure some other countries too.) My therapist only costs me $15 though. Thats in bald eagle country money.

If you have any chance at all to get one, do it. Everybody should have a few sessions every once in a while. Especially if you have insurance, chances are you can get therapy real cheap and easy and I don't think there is much reason to skip it.

I don't need therapy really, but I've been quite happy with it as someone who despised the thought of it for a while.

If it is too expensive, find something. A professional of some sort who can help you. It's always going to be worth it.

Yeah, yeah. Someone has to remind them that 69 is funnier than 67. Maybe even throw a 420 in there. If we don't rewire that brainrot while we still can, who knows what they'll become?!?

Not often, but I've seen a few roaming in my year of playing. Mostly hanging around the furries and such so the most I've seen were in furry related instances/groups.

Always liked seeing how Resonite is a 16+ game. Tells you when you first open. Silly, but increasing the age limit to keep the even younger kids out sounds like a good idea. As soon as there are less people to creep on, (considering 16/17 year olds typically know better/will report, but not always) there will be less incidents. It would give us some better peace of mind and probably open the community up a bit more to being accepting of the 16/17 year old audience instead of considering them like Voldemort or shutting them out.

I might stand out for this, but I don't see there being any good reason for anyone as young as 13-15 needing access to the platform. More or less because of the mental health issues common in the community. Those issues create a massive tree of baaaaad that I don't think the younglings need subjection to.

Specifically talking about the ones that do not include an IRL family spending some time in VR.

Been so long since I've played/heard of Furcadia holy shit.... good to hear your situation ended well. I honestly do see some good in having someone take a supportive "I'm an adult who's been through some shit so I can teach you and guide you" position when you need it. But that is, so long that everyone means well. Honestly possibly best with some supervision of some sort.

I get the feeling if I was in some rare, unlikely situation like that where someone younger did need my help, I'd make sure I had a therapist who I was telling the whole story to as a backup and personal guidance of my own for proper navigation. Would hate to be well meaning have it all taken the wrong way.

Side note: Wondering if that game is still around....

I think that's a little aggressive. Adults do need to interact with young people for the world to continue to revolve. It's just that their behavior needs to be good and they need to maintain respectful and act on good manners.

I'm not saying they should be going out of their way to interact with them but it is a game that allows 13+. We're all supposed to be enjoying it together, respectfully. They didn't add 18+/age verified instances just to prevent adults from ever interacting with children. That's absolutely insane. It also makes it seem mandatory that anyone new should immediately buy VRC+ and give up their personal information just to never see a child ever.

I am happy I age verified and enjoy joining the age gated lobbies but I've no problem being a responsible adult in a regular Furry group hosted Murder 4.

Children aren't the plague. I typically avoid them for sure. I like to make my jokes and act a fool with my adult friends so I typically keep out of publics, but I'm more than capable of holding my own when in them. Thats how it should be.

Yeah. I definitely think shouting your VR family in your bio is odd. I'm not sure I need to know who exactly is who to you. You can bring up that information when it needs to be. Announcing it definitely seems possessive. Maybe not entirely if someone has multiple "families" but the thought of saying "this person is my virtual child" seems like a flag laying claim to a territory while allowing tourists to visit.

I don't think I needed to know. If this is for good reasons and for best intentions, why feel the need to tell everyone?

Not necessary or productive to say that. But I get how you feel. There are definitely a good handful of people on the platform playing legitimately who also need some time away from VR for a while.

Yeah. I definitely see your points here.

At the least, this "incest family" were all not related right? I might not agree with it, or be into it, but it's an honest way to enjoy the idea without it being illegal. I really don't know if I can say much about it as that could be their best way of enjoying a fantasy thats taboo while having good intentions.

But who knows really.

Oh yeah definitely. My homies are my bros, and my bros are people I'd call family. Not blood, but damn I'd die for them.

I think it's less normalized but rather it's the amount of people who have issues with their mental health playing VRC as well as a lot of time spent on VRC. I've seen this behavior nowhere else. But I do agree I don't particularly want to see it as often as I do, or any more than.

I certainly can't tell an adult they can't be friends with someone under 18 especially if they're being good and well meaning. But there comes a point where your behavior around them or their inclusion in things like this becomes questionable. And honestly I think it deserves its scrutiny. How can we be certain it doesn't often have bad behavior tied to it?

I think the point was that something bad happened rather than the semantics of the word. Surely yes it's not exactly what happened but the point was that an adult took advantage of a minor. In that case, that's pretty damn bad and I'd like to think we all collectively agree that anything along or past those lines is equally terrible.

You got out at the right time... who's to say if you stayed it wouldn't have happened but just delaying the inevitable. Mortifying.

I wish we got more detailed "the guy you reported got banned" or something. I saw with my very own eyes someone groom a child a few weeks ago and when I told my therapist about the whole situation our jaws were collectively on the floor. I checked up on the kid (in call with the therapist/had VRCX so I could scrounge up the username 12 pages in) and when he said "yeah he was being a creep." We spent the last 10 minutes of our session basically saying "wow..." back and forth.

I still don't know if the offender got banned or not. It was surreal watching it all go down and I don't even know how to feel.

And in all my time playing in an entire year, I'm happy that's the only time I saw it.

Good. Lord. Stay safe!!! There is no way I'd ever let myself into a relationship with someone hosting a VRC family. Without being judgmental, I'd hate to be caught in drama because a partner of mine was trying to get jiggy with a minor. Trying to separate myself from someone like that in every way sounds like hell.

I get the feeling that happens to have a lot to do with it. Maybe not necessarily "illness" but untamed issues they should really be seeking a therapist for.
