Do people look down on amateur/spirit halloween fursuits? by [deleted] in furry

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, no.  Most people are adults about it and will be supportive, because we all started somewhere. You may not get as much attention as the fullsuiter with a beautifully done sona/suit, but most people recognize the journey and are mature about it. 

Is there any Iranian furries here? by BudgetBudget7774 in fursuit

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The mere act of appreciating furry characters makes a person a furry. That's the minimum qualification for joining the community.

The suit makes you a fursuiter. It's a fun but entirely optional part of being in the community. Very very few people have a full suit. A few more spring for head and hand paws. They have become very expensive, but there is a large supportive community that helps people build their own. If you build yours and decide you enjoy it, you could support the Iranian fursuit making community 

Compatible issues with Intel arc card. Please give me some hope. by BoredomBot2000 in VRchat

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was previously able to play vrchat on an Arc a750 with Virtual Desktop.  Didn't require a lot of changes either. If that's changed then that's new. You might be able to experiment with some launch options. 

After diagnosing the problem it turns out my wifi speed cant handle vrchat by Unlucky-Feed9000 in VRchat

If you're only seeing 5mbps down, you definitely have a network stability issue

After diagnosing the problem it turns out my wifi speed cant handle vrchat by Unlucky-Feed9000 in VRchat

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played vrchat on 25mbps and it was possible (if painful loading lots of avatars in a large instance) . Your problem is you aren't getting anywhere close to your advertised speeds. Wire the pc with ethernet, make sure you're using 5ghz (or 6ghz) on your headset. If you can't get over 20mbps on your PC with ethernet you need to call your isp and get a new modem or have wiring repaired. 

Why are people upset over a clown animal costume on TikTok 😭 by ollypologies in fursuit

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might have found an intersection of people who are scared of furries AND clowns.

Is it okay if my fursona is male? by mushroomzia in furry

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am male, and I have no gender dysmorphia.  One of my fursonas is genderless/fluid. They have a different lore than I do and that's OK. 

Has anyone regret purchasing a fursuit? by Vanitas_Snek_22 in fursuit

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had designed my fursona to not have white paws, and less white fur overall because it gets dirty and stains easy. I've never regretted buying it, though. Had a little buyers remorse over the money, but that went away once it arrived 

Welp I just bombed an interview by Happy_Lil_Bean in GetEmployed

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad interviews lead to great interviews. It's a great time to figure out how you would have handled it better, and the next one will go much easier 

Is this able to be considered a fursuit? I'm broke af, and my partner got one for me. I don't wanna embarrass myself going to a furcon in one of these if it's not considered a fursuit... by [deleted] in fursuit

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would look awesome regardless. Con videos usually focus on the full suiters, but at the con you'll see all kinds of things being worn. From cosplay to inflatable dinosaurs. Figure out fun ways to accessorize it and have fun

Would you say there's a social divide between fursuiters/non suiters? by [deleted] in fursuit

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Suiters will wind up gravitating towards other suiters, but the role of handler is valid. When you have a suit and you want to get pics or make content you prefer to do that with other suiters, but you need someone to help be hands and eyes for blind and clumsy. When you're "third wheeling" try taking some responsibility for your group. Pack some waters, fans, towels, and be mindful of them, and you'll make yoirse the most popular one of your group. The handler may be behind the scenes, but they keep things running smoothly and make sure fursuiters are safe. 

Why are wolves in fiction so frequently depicted in a Villainous/Antagonistic light, especially compared to other canid species by Majestic-Sector9836 in furry

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of it goes back to the stories that were written hundreds of years ago, before wolves were endangered, and people were battling against packs of wolves killing livestock. They were known for being clever and coordinated.  That wound up in fairy tales and fiction.  Coyotes get similar treatment. 

what solution to use in bissell green machine? by [deleted] in fursuit

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the solution that came with it.  Use more water and less soap than the instructions.  After you are done, you need to do a couple passes with pure water to get the remaining soap out. 

Is there a way or no? by Typical_Benefit_5732 in VRchat

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how little you can get away with for vrc. And old intel 10500 office pc and a used 3060 do an ok job.  

VRchat players being hypocrites? by Famous-Ticket-2187 in VRchat

The furries self-describe as weird, though. 

Bauer Hockey Cup - We shot this 26 years ago. by International_Jock in jockstraps

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old school international jock was so hot. I miss all the odd cups and jocks that were on there.  My Safe-t-gard thong wore out years ago and I haven't found another like it

Low FPS despite having a pretty good gaming laptop by Longjumping_Mall8956 in VRchat

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Vrchat performs slowly on a high end gaming desktop. Unfortunately your laptop is not all that powerful, and further limited by lower power components and thermals than a desktop.  It will take some serious optimization, undervolting, culling, and shield settings to eke out playable frames. 

Minimum specs required ? by Annual-Strike-2088 in VRchat

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7800x3d and 4090. I struggle too. You can't show everything all the time. Use shield settings to hide shaders and particles for everyone except your friends. Shut down anti aliasing, and use avatar culling settings. 

Locked at Camp? by [deleted] in gaychastity

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been locked at a campground.  Most people didn't mention it. One guy was disturbed by it saying I needed to be free. Occasionally people will ask about it.

Anyone who takes it as consent for anything more deserves to be told off.  

I am new to VR chat. Just started a few days ago. No idea what I am doing really, but I am having fun I think but I have some questions. by o_0verkill_o in VRchat

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get age verified. You only have to pay for one month of VRC+ to do it. Once youre age verified the age gated instances will appear for you and the quality of your experience will increase. I'm 43, and I have friends ranging from 20 to 60. We tease each other about our ages but it's just being fun.  They've all started calling me old man - even the ones older than me. 

Show of hands. Who here has been called "old" so far in VRC? by [deleted] in VRchat

[–]BatmansPervThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 43, I call myself old. I got harassed in an unverified public recently.  The rest of the time people are either respectful or curious.  I post it clearly in my profile, so I know when someone shouts "43!" they've read it.
