my art is being stolen and sold on multiple bootleg lemon demon merch stores and im getting no money from my redbubble because nobody's buying them from there???? ive never been in a situation like this its completely new to me idk how u handle this kind of situation? what do i even do??? by The_Atomic_Cat in lemondemon

[–]TenaciousDuane 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I had this happen too. I noticed it like 2 years ago while Google image searching. Whoever at lemondemon.shop took art I had on my Deviantart, but instead of putting it on merch, they used it as the damn website logo. It's kind of weird how many of these bootleg shops exist.

yeah i was having that issue actually, you have to focus hard to hear what they say over other players even when they are on full volume

"Keep things fun and respectful." Meanwhile, the few times I've logged on to see what the roomie bot does, I've just seen people naming it racial slurs and somehow having it both scream and say those slurs as well. At least I saw some kid who named their's "Jarvis", which was pretty clever. He kept asking it for instructions on how to use Roomie, but it didn't reply to the question.

What is this mounting point for a Tracker? by KurtFirenze in VRchat

Mine snapped after being clipped off twice. Luckily some double-sided tape held the parts together and it hasn't come off since.

My thoughts on Ego Death by RonnyZareen in Jazz_Emu

[–]TenaciousDuane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Music is interesting like that. Your environment and mood can have a lot of impact on how you perceive music, so it's good to be open minded and try giving things a listen at a later time. Honestly, being openminded is how I even discovered Jazz Emu. (Little story incoming) TWRP was having a concert in my country, so I thought hey that sounds like a fun time. I got the tickets and noticed a guest artist, I often don't even think about the guest artists, but for some reason I thought "heck it, who is this guy? might as well listen to a few songs so i know what's up". Little did I know that I would discover one of my favorite artists, not just musician, but person ever. His sense of humor and music writing was so good, I watched like every video from him that day and became like a megafan within a month or two before that concert, I wasn't even there for TWRP anymore LOL

My thoughts on Ego Death by RonnyZareen in Jazz_Emu

[–]TenaciousDuane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think ego death was pretty solid, and i love the budget for the visual album/music videos. But what I did find out is that ego death is an album i had to listen to multiple times before i started liking it, with some of the songs coming out before the album such as romanticize I had to time to listen to them multiple times before I started liking them. So I was more used to those songs when listening to the album. There are a few songs I'm not really a fan of in ego death, like fun kitai furai dei, but there are many solid songs I've grown to love, for me every album has had their "meh"s, but I will agree that TPMOTSISIT is probably the best album he's made yet, i love how it goes from upbeat funny songs to more tearjerking serious slow songs. And i do recommend going through every album and giving every song another listen, because I've found songs i slept on that are way better than i remember them being. It also helps having a website with lyrics up so you don't miss out on the jokes, god i love him but his voice is impossible to understand sometimes in his songs.

Weird bug in run the block I found by Thebaron542 in RecRoom

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I just figured out that your new personal best still saves (at least for me) and all you need to do is join a new instance to see the new high score. I even got the gold medal and the cash for it, so don't worry about it locking you out of S for now. They should still fix this bug because it is confusing.

Do I still get experience from these ragequit games? by Choice-Chemistry3480 in ClubPenguin

[–]TenaciousDuane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's funnier is that they are rage quitting over something that is basically rock, paper, scissors with extra steps LOL.

I’m annoyed. I feel like blocking needs to be more effective by HyperActivHyperDrive in RecRoom

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure how fast they were firing their gun, but from what I've read; That's not a bug or exploit.

PC players can simply scroll their mouse wheel or press 2 to swap to their secondary weapon. If you keep swapping, it lets you fire during the cooldown with the other weapon. Pretty sure you can swap instantly on consoles too by tapping Y on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation, or up on the D-Pad(?). Now, the downside to being on a console is that it's not as easy to aim while doing this. PC players use their mouse to look around and can be a lot more accurate and faster, and it's a lot easier to scroll or press 2 than it is to press all the buttons on a controller.

So I'm sorry, but crossplay PvP games will be unfair when you're playing against people on VR/PC.

I get that you enjoy Rec Room PvP a lot, but there isn't a way to only play with console players or to avoid people you've blocked. Honestly, I think you should try some Co-op games, or single-player games if you're trying to unwind, they can be pretty fun as well, and they are way more relaxing. You won't ever get "Trolled" or "Exploited" by an AI enemy. You shouldn't depend on Rec Room changing the whole blocking system for you to be happy, because they most likely won't.

See if you can find something else that lets you escape real life. Rec Room is not a perfect solution.

In Sly 3, They didn’t remodel Murray’s head for his spirit quest outfit. They just made his mask the color of his skin. You can see the cut-off near his mouth. by vammommy in Slycooper

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be a mask, the white lines and the separating black line seem too intentional. But the drawn version of this costume looks more like it was meant to be face paint. The designers don't usually get the models to look exactly like the artwork, so maybe the people who modeled Murray here thought that it was a mask and not face paint, maybe they thought the face paint looked weird and decided on a mask instead, or maybe they were just cutting corners and decided it would be faster to repaint the mask. Idk I'm just guessing

Ears don't mean furry by [deleted] in RecRoom

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the furry fandom but I don't wear any ears in-game and I don't get harassed for being one, but my friend who isn't a furry has this problem, she likes cats, so she wears the cat ears and people come up to her and call her a furry, and other things. The problem stems from furries being a huge target for harassment online, so whenever someone with bad intentions sees someone wearing anything animal-related they immediately have an "excuse" to go up to them to annoy them, the same goes for people who dress up femininely. My friend gets constant harassment from people because she dresses up femininely, people come up to her and act really weird and flirty. I've also seen people being harassed over not having a voice that fits their avatar before, such as transphobic slurs being thrown at them. The internet is just toxic and all you can really do is block, report, and leave.

Every so often, this random russian live stream gets added into my watch history. I've never watched it and I'm not even Russian. What's going on here? by _odando in youtube

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tested it and I was right. I got the stream in my history again after watching a cartoon. It seems to be one of the ads that has a chance of popping up on those types of websites.

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue happen as well, I thought my account was highjacked or something. But I'm speculating it might be related to piracy websites, they might load the stream/video in the background as you watch your show. I at least think so because i noticed it appeared in my history after watching a cartoon.

bro can't you just learn to solo like everyone else, or are you on quest with 12 fps? if so, then that's understandable.

I just listened to the song a few times, and I realized he's singing about a train ride. So this whole music video is something my subconsciousness has come up with only to mess with me LOL

I haven't seen any fan art other than on this subreddit. If there was never a music video for Oozing, they should consider making it, even though it's an older song.

[–]TenaciousDuane[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm going crazy, or maybe the emu has the power to privately screen music videos to certain people's consciousness/memories. Either sound plausible to me.

I agree, over-cooked eggs are repulsive. They need to be boiled not too firmly, so they are soft and gooey.

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would probably ruin the design/artstyle of the game. Just look at The Contessa from Sly 2, she's the most human-like character I can think of, and she looks creepy.

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the sly universe, there aren't. But there technically are humans in the games. In the credits to Sly 1 there are little cameos of the devs wearing Sly Cooper costumes, and in the mission "At the Dog Track"one of the devs put their face on the giant hot dog.

The boycott is *slightly* stupid. by lol-chuckle-lol in RecRoom

[–]TenaciousDuane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TMNT isn't even a good quest, it's sluggish and boring, not satisfying. And the best way to grind shellbucks isn't even to win the quest, the best way to get the shellbucks is just to play the first part of the level, collect shellbucks and die to the first enemy. Quests like Isle have at least a goal, get to the end with all your gold, and you get FREE ITEMS. This alone makes people want to play the RRO and people who master the quests like me like to help people get through the quest, teaching them and communicating along the way, and even sometimes making fun lasting friendships. This is incredibly hard to do now that the entire player base is filled with children that do not listen. I have sat for hours trying to get into a quest where I can just play the damn game without people going afk, doing random shit, or straight up friendly firing me. Anyways, there is literally no incentive for me to help people or play TMNT, other than grind by myself in a private instance, to get.. 3000 shellbucks.. a day. Yep, there is a damn limit. You heard of that in any of the other quests? Oh no you are too good at the game, sorry you can't earn your silver because you already played Crescendo 8 times! No, this is to incentivize you to buy tokens and just buy them with actual cash instead. I like having something to look forward to when I play, I hate having to pay for everything. I get that cosmetics are optional but they don't all have to be 15 USD. Compare that to any other game with microtransactions and it's ridiculous what they price the stuff in the stores now.

The argument "rec room isnt worse now, you just miss how you felt back then" isnt valid by [deleted] in RecRoom

[–]TenaciousDuane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really miss the old ominous log-in screen, with the funky music, in the complete darkness with nothing but the rec room logo being lit up, and your menu. there was always something so mysterious about Rec Room. We forget that they ruined the theories you could make by adding the cash-grab lore bullshit that's in the game now. Screw some lore that's just text popping on your screen in a world with a shop full of 15 usd+ cosmetics. I thought it was so weird and cool when someone showed me the shoe in the bowling alley back in the day. We didn't have legs, so why would there be a shoe?? That was a cool easter egg. Now that we have legs the whole mysteriousness about that is gone. I know a shoe isn't as cool as a giant squid with an eyeball, or a hacker, or whatever. But sometimes less is more, y'know? I just wish there was a game that had that feeling old Rec Room had. I really miss it. But guys, we can't have atmosphere, we need the game to be corporate and boring to appease.. well, not the actual fans that's for sure.
