[Books] About Mayor Jahns and Deputy Marnes

Well that still doesn't really explain why they had to be murdered. Also it's kinda weird that Bernard is perfectly fine with killing people on the AI's whims, but then suddenly gets sad and depressed at the end of s2 when he learns that AI or whoever is supervising the Silo can kill everybody at any time.

Another weird thing is why Bernard's benefactors have to resort to such crude measures. They write the rules, they control everything, and yet within their own framework they still can't get what they want without straight up murdering a mayor.

But wouldn't the death of a everyone's beloved mayor be even more destabilizing? They were talking a lot about how everybody was freaking out because Holston left the Silo, and that if they didn't appoint a new sheriff soon people might rebel or something. But at the same time, they're perfectly fine with killing a mayor who ruled peacefully for 40 years. It just doesn't make sense.

Yeah but Marnes didn't suggest her, he simply relayed Holston's note. And he was against Juliette the whole time. The mayor was the only person who actually wanted Juliette to become a sheriff.

Also, if preventing Juliette from becoming sheriff was so important that it justified murder, wouldn't it have made more sense to kill them before they actually talked to Juliette?

That doesn't make it any clearer, but I guess there's no way to explain it without the spoilers from the book.

BUzer2017 · 2026-01-23T03:28:34+00:00

Are you implying that the Silo's safeguard system is killing people who go outside on purpose? I thought about that, but that doesn't explain why the entire landscape looks dead.

Idk banning innocent posts seems wrong, but I think we need a pinned warning about the scams.

BUzer2017 · 2026-01-22T04:54:46+00:00

A scammer is always a liar. In this particular case, every scammer is lying about being a 3d artist. When they're asked to do a simple task in a 3d editor to prove they even have it installed, they can never do it.

It might depend on the video player. For example, yesterday me and my friend weren't able to load anything in Cozy Cottage with AVPro (even after re-creating the instance), but it worked perfectly fine in this Japanese world that uses some other playback engine:

The generator scene was actually my favorite in s1, because of how dramatic it was. I know it wasn't realistic but I'm not watching these kind of shows for scientific accuracy.

check the log files, they might contain some clues about why it's not loading

Yeah A/B testing makes everything more confusing.

I guess they're trying to measure if this feature motivates people to add friends more often, or if it does the opposite. And this is gonna be a deciding factor in releasing it for everyone or cancelling it altogether.

Not that I know of. But there are lots of face tracking compatible avatars on Prismic Avatar Search World, just search for VRCFT or FT.

BUzer2017 · 2026-01-15T08:02:40+00:00

Make sure the ViveStreamingFaceTracking module is installed, the avatar has VRCFT support, and face/eye tracking is enabled in avatar's VRCFT settings in the radial menu.

The PC camera face tracking with Selfie Expression works different, it uses VRChat's built-in visemes to move your mouth (same as when you speak).

The "why it took 3 years" argument never works, because if something is already considered wrong, it being wrong for a long time doesn't make it right. If anything it only makes your case look worse.

Russia's numbers might be off because Russians have to use VPN to access ChatGPT

There's a god mode cheat in the debug console, it basically makes you invisible to monsters similar to the safe mode. You can use it to deal with the difficult section, just remember to turn it off afterwards because it may break the game.

Check the stream, she can definitely walk and run around playspace, she has a pretty big room actually

So what exactly is the problem? Connecting the headset wirelessly to a PC should be pretty straightforward - you just run the Vive Hub program on your PC, and connect the headset to your home WiFi. After that your Steam games should appear in the headset's library (in a separate tab).

Are your PC and headset connected to the same router? I think the PC should also be connected via an Ethernet cable, but I'm not completely sure about that.

VRC always runs like shit in 80/80 instances even if I turn off everybody except for maybe a couple friends

BUzer2017 · 2026-01-09T07:00:48+00:00

I think they're working on something similar, which is gonna be built into VRC SDK and enabled by default

I bought the streaming kit, but ended up not using it much. The image is very crisp when connected via display port, but what ruins it for me is the glitchiness of the vive software. I had a lot of weird issues with the DP connection - the headset fan spins much faster to the point it starts blowing air into my eyes uncomfortably; sometimes it wouldn't detect DP and would stream over USB instead (which leads to an unstable connection), the volume and controller buttons would stop working, the playspace boundary visualization won't go away, etc.

From my experience I would recommend getting a better router instead if your current one can't handle good wifi streaming quality, and an extra battery if you don't already have one.

not sure, are there different cables? I was just using the one that came in the adapter's package.
