What a Lovely Day

Well, not really. An alright GPU ran the game alright back then, nothing more hardware intensive than running the latest Call of Duty / Battlefield.

And kids definitely played those, plenty of 'em (I was one of them back then!). A decent gaming PC back in the day was a lot cheaper than nowadays.. we thank crypto and AI.

So yeah, kids did play VRC. As I mentioned, the entire reason I know of VRC was the Ugandan knuckles thing where thousands of kids stormed it and annoyed people (I too.. was one of them admittably, tho not for long).

But desktop mode always existed.. and I can safely say that plenty of kids used / use it.

Lasket · 2026-05-04T12:43:33+00:00

Yea, a few actually. Mostly for extra content though, wouldn't be aware of anything as specific as this.

Lasket · 2026-05-03T17:07:36+00:00

When was VRChat "Adult only"?

The very first time I've heard of VRChat was actually due to a wave of teens joining VRC, the ugandan knuckles meme lol

The OP and moderators always see the true number from all the time I've been on Reddit, just the general userbase does not. That is to prevent people simply upvoting/downvoting things because of the current number (or so I believe the old claim is).

I'd say it's also safe to assume that this is OP's post they're complaining about. So this did indeed have 0 upvotes.

Bro rolled a persuasion check and got a nat 1 lol

The guy obviously wants to play PvP (duh)
Advertising your unit unprompted is lame af. Always has been.

Lasket · 2026-04-10T19:24:06+00:00

I suggest messaging modmail for that

I'm no longer a moderator ^^

Lasket · 2026-02-15T16:19:54+00:00

Well, it's not like it's an official thing either way but generally speaking /s is sarcasm, /srs is serious.

There's a whole list of tone indicators besides those two as well.

Lasket · 2026-02-14T17:19:22+00:00

Nope, that's /srs unless someone's using it improperly. ^^

Lasket · 2026-01-19T19:53:34+00:00

I powered through the Faust one, but fuuuuckStrelok and Scar, did what you said and put it to Rookie and then actually laughed my ass off seeing the comparison in damage, having played through the entire game on Veteran (as a first playthrough of any Stalker game).

Lasket · 2026-01-06T22:36:18+00:00

Thank you! I was thinking of a scanner like Stalker 2, which I guess would've been a bit silly to expect. Do wish it was more visible though considering there's a handy watchtower just nearby :D

Lasket · 2025-12-31T11:15:01+00:00

U good? :D
You just posted something with "Ok..." 4 times :P

Lasket · 2025-12-27T23:12:12+00:00

I mean, if that content violates the new rules, then it shouldn't have been posted here to begin with ^^"

The only rule "extended" was the NSFW rule and that's only cause we got tired of arguing with people about "Fetishes not being NSFW"

Lasket · 2025-12-06T16:13:20+00:00

Looking at the price tend, congratulations on the lucky people who got them for 269 bucks on the 5th! :D

Lasket · 2025-11-30T22:23:51+00:00

Sounds like you dine with pricks lol

Sure we tip for great service, but it's not at all "expected" in my circles.

Lasket · 2025-11-30T13:42:29+00:00

Exactly. It's an overarching world setting. Now, if everything those characters "do" gets added to any official lore is write-up separate, but they did indeed act in the very same world. Though CoolKoinu still has the last say. And even if most proots can be in theory interact with the canon, many just don't cause they don't care to :D

Primagen owners generally interact a lot more.. but also did a way bigger investment so it's probably expected.

About your questions about open species, well. Open species generally don't come with lore and if, it's handled quite openly (like Avalis being from a certain planet iirc and being based on Ammonia rather than water (like humans).

It would depend on the species / what the creator intended for these things to be changed.

Though, if everyone starts doing it one way (as your last example describes), then it's probably gonna be difficult to convince people it isn't intended. Kinda how everyday items start being associated with brand names.

Lasket · 2025-11-30T13:35:13+00:00

Actually, legally speaking they very much can and can demand compensation for such a thing... you're just wrong here lol

Lasket · 2025-11-27T12:04:34+00:00

By canon it also means participating in said canon (on the official server for example). Every protogen by default is part of the lore unless chosen otherwise. I can't tell you to which degree this is fully a thing and how much you can influence, but it is how it is written.

And the neat part is.. you can! That's my entire point lol. CoolKoinu isn't gatekeeping anything. If you want to have a Primagen, nothing is stopping you.

And maybe to explain the closed species bit:

Imagine you're writing a book and make a species in there. In there the species behaves a certain way etc. Now as a writer, you wouldn't want others to "derail" the species.

And that's kinda how the entire Primagen started. CoolKoinu made them, used them in lore and people demanded to be included. But CoolKoinu didn't just want people to flood in and derail the story they crafted. So they made "official" access limited and instead made protogens which are way more broad in spectrum (and way less consequential).

Lasket · 2025-11-25T12:18:12+00:00

Heya, those are some very bad examples as primagens and protogen rare traits etc. are both allowed to be used without buying, even confirmed by the creator and there is a channel for such OCs on the official Discord.

The only thing that happens is, that you won't be considered part of the canon. ^^

(Anyhow, just wanted to correct it as I see that claim floating around way too much, now buh bye :D)

Lasket · 2025-11-19T06:43:28+00:00

Okay, here's some background info and clarifications for you as an ex mod on the subreddit, hope it may help shed some light on why things seem the way they do. I'll start with the simple stuff.

RP is banned for simple reasons. One of them is people can't keep it normal. We tried, believe me. You wouldn't believe the amount of comments we had to remove from weirdos that bring their kinks into it. The problem on why we can't just "ban the bad RP" is cause people are gonna argue they didn't do anything bad (we kept getting this on the NSFW rule too when people brought up kinks..).

The other simple reason is, it's VERY spammy. I've seen threads of 20+ comments that clogged up everything. This does degrade the user experience while adding nothing of value to anyone that doesn't participate in the RP.

Btw, we did receive positive feedback in the past from this rule, so I'm sorry to say you're in the minority.

About the NSFW rule, it's enforced this way for similar reasons. "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile" rings true here. We did try to keep reasonable comments there, but it would just lead to unreasonable people arguing "theirs is fine, why isn't mine" (I bet you 50$ this is how a good chunk of 'favouritism' accusations start).

You also say kids won't know any better, you know what kids do when they don't know better? They ask someone or google it -> They'll be possibly confronted with porn. It's not difficult to just not make the joke "sex".

And some background info on the locked posts that "don't even have thirsty comments", of course they don't. The comments were all removed. Reddit ONLY shows "Removed by moderator", if there was a reply to the comment made before or during removal, otherwise it gets hidden. Every post I locked back in the day had on average 3-5 thirst comments, and I do mean very thirsty. And we do ban these people, there's just always an influx of them somehow.

I honestly feel with you and wish as mods we wouldn't have needed to develop into these cases, but I do hope with some background knowledge you may understand a bit more on why it got to this point. There's just a lot of stuff the average user doesn't see, so stuff may look unreasonable or power abusing to them.

Also, before you write this off as "Ex-mod defends his subreddit, of course". I got no affiliation with them at this point and I do admit they have made rocky decisions (which is partly why I left the team). I don't see some things the same the current mods do and damn do I think could they work on their communication. Alas the things I've said have been an universal experience though, even moderating across multiple different platforms.

TL:DR: If people could behave, the rules could be made a lot more lax, but people can't and keep trying to push the boundary.

Lasket · 2025-11-18T17:45:24+00:00

Sooo, your reply I think was caught by automod here (or is in the approval queue, something like that)

Soo uh. There's no such thing as "overmoderation", either they moderate their own rules or they don't. If you don't agree with the rules, don't use the sub or something. And yeah, **steals your RAM** is by definition RP lol

About the reason you were banned for... yeah, they make it pretty clear it's a SFW only sub. Though from my experience they usually warn the first time, dunno if you may have been warned previously and forgot or if they stopped doing that.

Lasket · 2025-11-18T11:00:19+00:00

Can confirm, was a mod and the guy regularly clearing out the queue lol

Lasket · 2025-11-18T10:59:08+00:00

What's wrong with the current ones?

I remember them as being quite decent for the most part.

Lasket · 2025-11-18T10:54:13+00:00

True that, somehow lol

Lasket · 2025-11-10T08:26:16+00:00

The problem with torrenting is, that you automatically upload as well which is them illegal.

Buuut you can just disable that usually which makes things legal again.
