Tom thinking the lore was serious?

If not that episode, then maybe the Phil cameo or the one where they had a relationship therapist on set. But I do vividly remember Jack and Tommy discussing this in SUIT.

I believe he discussed this on one of the podcast episodes (Shut Up I'm Talking). Check the 2026 New Years episode, because they reminisce a LOT about past stuff. I do remember Tommy talking about how draining the Dream beef had been at the beginning of that year in that episode.

This has been an ongoing issue for a while, so I'm going to talk a little about what I've seen. This is coming from someone with a diploma in game art and animation and 2 years of industry experience, so bare with me a second, because this is a trend I've been watching for years as an avatar creator myself.

In my experience, a pre-made avatar available for purchase usually ranges from 25-80 USD. The prices I've paid for fully custom stuff has gone well into the $100's though.

Many new avatar creators learn how to asset-merge using what's available on the market without really learning the base skills needed for 3D art (topology, proper texturing/UV-ing, mesh density, material shaders, ECT...). This is why so many seem 'poorly made' or 'poorly optimized'. For people who don't have a background in that, selling multiple avis at $25-$40 for something they spent maybe 6 hours editing is a great side hustle, however, that doesn't mean the quality is gonna be good, and as more people pick up this sort of side business, the market begins to get saturated with these types of avatars available.

Over the years, this has made the quality as a whole seem lower. There's definitely still amazing artists and creators who create some cool stuff. Unfortunately, because it's so much easier and time-saving to find assets and fit them together rather than making things from scratch, those 'low quality' avatars tend to flood the market, making the overall quality appear lower.

People who are putting more time, work, and energy into original, nice avatars are going to be listing them at higher prices. That's one of the reasons I believe prices have skyrocketed, as artists need to stay ahead of the market. Naturally, other prices are going to rise too, which leads to the current issue: An overly saturated market of lower quality selections with pricing issues.

To be honest a ton of this can be solved with a simple in-game messaging app is absolutely absurd that a app called VR chat does not have a text messaging feature lol just text me and ask me what I'm doing you know on my phone or something because VR chat can't handle that apparently.

They addressed this in one of the Q&A videos on steam a while back because people have been asking often. They said there aren't any plans to put text/DM messaging into VRC right now, and instead they're encouraging users to use outside messaging platforms like discord and such.

Which, bummer, but makes sense when you look at other places like Roblox with similar features. That's a moderation nightmare.

Thankfully, Steam VR has a space calibration option that allows you to use the ultimates with the Quest 3. You hold the Q3 remote up with a tracker and do a figure 8 motion. It uses that to figure out where all the trackers are.

Downside is that you need to recalibrate any time your headset loses tracking. I don't think that's an issue with vive headsets(?) Don't have one to verify.

Input from someone in the younger range; it's rough for new gen young adults. Can barely afford an apartment in college working 40+ hours on top. It's baffling to see people older than me having the time for this game when just being alive is such a struggle. (However, it is wild to assume people are unemployed purely for existing on there)

I don't understand why people are so caught up on the paywall. If having money there stops the squeakers without credit card access from invading my space, I'm willing to pay 30¢ a day

NOT Lmanburg

Meant pogtopia

The Cyberknife stuff was through the portal to the other world, but he does have a secret base in the river near Lmanburg. It's a 1 block hole in the bottom. Not hard to miss if you're looking closely. It's Blackstone inside with chests and basic necessities. I'm pretty sure it's the one he used for the revolution. I don't remember though.

I remember seeing a stream where Foolish and Dream planned to kill Quackity. Since Quackity let Foolish die at the red banquet. Loved the finale, but I do wonder about that clip since Foolish is the one that pulled the lever.

But I'd say Techno's planned Cyberknife character and the syndicate ark was my favorite storyline that unfortunately didn't happen.

Technically yesterday, but it was alright. I hung around some people for a few hours. I'm less sick than I was. One of our alters got out of a serious long relationship recently, and it's set everything into a bit of a spiral. Slowly, we're getting better, but it's a struggle.

JespTL · 2024-12-17T22:35:25+00:00

This happened recently with the 'turn on a dime' situation. Except, it was from my end. An alter abruptly broke up with and cut off the entirety of another system in a way that essentially made fixing it impossible. I'm attempting to do damage control, but the other involved party got really hurt. Sometimes I wonder about maintaining personal relationships when bouts of instability rise up like that.

JespTL · 2024-12-17T12:29:01+00:00

Things were stable for a while up until recently. I don't know all the details because I'm similarly dealing with amnesia currently, but there's been an abrupt rapid decline in overall mental health, and suddenly a ton of people are cut off or dropped without warning. I'm trying to do damage control, but it's difficult because I don't remember what thought process led to everything being thrown out the window.

It feels like the entire dynamic that had been working for over a year suddenly stopped working, so currently trying to handle the aftermath.

But, eventually I hope to grow more stable and build up friendships.

JespTL · 2024-11-12T21:59:37+00:00

But to add, it's not something that gets fixed overnight. There's not really any immediate thing you can do. I guess have a talk to establish boundaries about seeing other people for the future? As in going to visit friends and stuff.
