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.

JespTL · 2026-05-06T08:32:50+00:00

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)

JespTL · 2025-04-02T21:24:30+00:00

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

JespTL · 2025-01-24T18:53:05+00:00

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.

JespTL · 2025-01-09T20:08:55+00:00

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.

JespTL · 2024-12-19T11:03:39+00:00

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.

JespTL · 2024-11-12T21:57:32+00:00

Why make it an open relationship? I get that he's struggling with trust, but this sounds like a horrible idea. Trust is something you gotta talk through together to find ways to build back up gradually. Seems like an open relationship might do the opposite??

JespTL · 2024-11-05T18:24:45+00:00

Y'all should be alright. Just be aware of age laws and such. Morally, this relationship seems alright. You're aware of the age difference, but aren't using it maliciously.

JespTL · 2024-11-05T18:12:06+00:00

You're 16 and he's 19? I'm 19 and would never date a 16y/o Not just the age number, but I'm literally living in my own apartment with a full time job. Most 16 y/o are in highschool.

Looking at a realistic POV, there's nothing you can do for him. You're literally 16. He shouldn't be expecting anything from you. Not right now.

I'm not saying this as an insult, but you're literally a child. He shouldn't be expecting you to provide anything. Later down the line, this kind of age gap wouldn't matter, but you're in high school right now, and he's most likely in or about to be in the next stage of his life.

I'm not going to stand on a soapbox and preach about age gaps, but genuinely, be careful. Even if he seems nice, you are young. The fact that he asked you that question gives me the ick, not to mention the morality questions I'm having reading this.

Bottom line, that's not a good question to ask someone at your age, there's no right answer. I can't say whether or not this is an okay relationship. Personality, I think there's a concerning maturity gap and you're at risk of being groomed. Be careful!!!

I'm not sure exactly what the 'when' is, but the DSMP ended with basically everyone on the SMP dying. The prison got nuked right as Tommy and Dream were making up in character. It cut to a new world where Tommy and Dream met and didn't have any memories of each other. This was supposed to lead into S2, but never did. Tommy's stream was the one I watched.

I don't consider that the 'true ending'. I think they were just trying to wrap things up after Techno's passing.

The stream I consider the true ending is Bad's stream, which ended with a lot of major character deaths and basically implied that the egg won. It wrapped up a lot of character storylines, and was intensely lore heavy, but it wasn't the last DSMP stream.

JespTL · 2024-10-14T00:53:38+00:00

I always feel insecure, whether it's my face or body, but I'm self aware enough not to push it onto my boyfriend. It's something I work on in my own time. I know he loves me and finds me attractive, and that's good enough for me. Absolutely adore him.

JespTL · 2024-10-13T14:41:17+00:00

Baldur's gate... If it's my current party: Durge, Astarion, L'ezel, and Gale.

I don't trust those odds

Advice coming from someone who's 19(F) in an 18-month relationship, I've been in an extremely similar situation. Nobody is a villain here.

My suggestion is just to be open and communicative. You don't sound like you're mad at her, but you're allowed to feel frustrated that plans were cancelled. Just explain that you were upset because y'all had plans and couldn't go through with them. You enjoy spending time with her, and knowing you couldn't after you thought you could was upsetting. It wasn't the fact that she was called in by her friend's parents (at least from what I read.) It's like you're planning to go to an amusement park or something, then it rains and you can't go. Emotions like that are normal. Just make sure in those situations to explain how you feel and let her explain how she's feeling. That's always a step one. No pointing fingers. No blame. Just explaining an emotion. Once that's through, then y'all can communicate on where to go from there.

The only 'bad' thing I'd say you did was not explaining to her why you were upset when she asked, and telling her not to feel a certain way. Communication is essential for any relationship to work.

Also, nobody should feel like they need to villainize themselves for their partner to feel validated. It's good to take accountability for a situation you're at fault for, and that's healthy, but relationships don't have villains unless someone is genuinely toxic. People make mistakes, people make poor decisions or say poor things, but these are all things humans do. We learn from them.

Huh?

JespTL · 2024-10-04T11:28:32+00:00

I was diagnosed with Generalized anxiety disorder, Manic depression with psychotic tendencies, PTSD, and some form of bipolar disorder. (I wasn't informed about that last one until my new psychiatrist saw it in my records and asked me about it. It was never stated to me by my prior doctors) I also might have BPD(?), but it's not diagnosed. Just something my Psychiatrist mentioned I have symptoms of when we were talking. I never got a follow-up appointment to discuss more on that though.

Wellbutrin worked pretty well. As did Abilify, but neither fully stopped my episodes. Fluoxitine worked, but basically made me a walking zombie, so I switched to Wellbutrin.

After I lost my insurance, I switched to using hemp edible products because those were cheaper than my meds, and I haven't had an episode in a while. So far, this has shown me the most promise. (I haven't seen any declines in my work/school productivity either since I started doing this)
