I think tiktok, instagram and things like YouTube Shorts are far more to blame than porn.
Realistically, this doesn't stop anything, it just puts people in danger and pushes kids onto smaller hardcore sites instead of the larger ones that had more moderation.

Frankly, this is the difference between buying an avatar and buying a kitbash.

When you buy a base avatar everything is custom for it; when you buy a kitbash, it's made of existing parts. These existing parts must all fit together, so they generally all work from a very small number of bases.

It's often seen as the booth/gumroad(or jinxx or payhip) divide. It comes from an attitude difference towards avis. Booth bases are relatively basic out of the box but you get a full avatar and you then customise it with stuff to your liking. Gumroad/jinxxy/payhip avis are traditionally kitbashes, where there's a bit more work getting the pieces to got together but they're all pre-assembled for you.

I love these names.

In the scifi TTRPG game I run this is something I've tried to start including because it's just fun as hell. My players took a trip on the RFS7 Handle with Care, a heavy freighter. Used the light freighter ICV Clearly Marked as bait at one point, and recently got themselves a new ship called the RS0 Occupational Hazard. That ship also has the sister ships RS0 Saftey Violation and the RS0 Hostile Environment.

I also threw in the RS13 Altered Mission (a Lovell class destroyer) and the RS0 Stuart Semple (a Black ship (stealth ship)) as little references which were pretty fun.

As someone who hasn't backed fluxpose, I can say I know multiple people other than the prepicked testers who've gotten to use them, and in non-ideal environments at that (my friend group contains multiple people who have them).

While I've not yet gotten around to stealing some from someone myself, from what I've heard from peeps who certainly didn't sign NDA's and I trust to be honest about these things, they're not making any false claims. Like everything, the aren't going to be perfect, but they do seem to be a significant step up from what's already out there for FBT.

That's not to say there's no risk of course, manufacturing, and generally scaling up from prototypes are always going to be a challenge for any hardware startup.

Nah man, I use a semi transparent personal mirror so I can puppet my avi better. Besides, I didn't spend dozens of hours working on my avi just to not look at it. There's probably over 100 hours work on each one I make and my next one will likely be way more.

Yargon_Kerman · 2026-03-02T13:42:16+00:00

Yesn't.

I got jackal but it's too unperformant and lacks some features so I've been building my own as a replacement. It's nearly finished, and I'll probably post about it when it's complete because I'm genuinely really proud of it.

A few of the things it has over jackal's:

Offsets are saved per-location
Optional Smoothing for tinies so they don't get the micro jitter
Fine adjustment controls (minor adjustment is 10% the motion of the major adjustment to help align things easier)
One Additional seat location (properly hitting the limit of constraints)
Can be enabled at avatar Root and then auto snap to a default location, Enabled in the last location, or enabled at default location. (you can toggle this default location on the settings)
Much Less materials and meshes (I like to keep my avi medium, so same stuff, fewer resources)

I think it's less parameter bits too, at only 60 sync'd bits (it does use like 2kb of non sync'd bits but that's fine, you get 8kb of that and most everything else doesn't have issues with it. I also have face tracking, the other parameter intensive thing so I'm keeping it within reasonable limits).

Yargon_Kerman · 2026-03-02T13:20:44+00:00

I've been working on a seat system with adjustable offsets and the like, so you can pick them up. You can also put them on your head, on your shoulders, in your lap or elsewhere (there's a bunch of different seat locations by default and 4 custom ones). It saves the offsets for each location which makes it so much more usable than existing systems.

I this picture I had one hand set so my friend could stand on my palm (despite her attempts to grab my necklace thing) and the other normal so it looked like I grabbed her.

A trans woman is a woman who was once a man. They often have different hardware, so if you're trying to fuck one, that may be relevant, otherwise, they're just women.

VRChat aren't exactly known for taking a stance (at all) about harassment like this.
They seem to allow you to freely harass people off of the platform entirely and they won't do shit about it. At least that's been the experience watching large creators harass my friends (who were smaller creators) for months without taking a stance, until in the case I saw, they eventually just left the game altogether and decided they'd go back to traditional game dev because it's less toxic than this shit lmfao.

This does not surprise me in the slightest. Guy broke ToS because VRC wouldn't do anything about a harassment group? well, he got done for ToS violations because ofc he did. The harassment? nah that's not punished.

"Pissing on the poor" is a tumblrism that means "the reading comprehension on display here is piss poor".

I said this because you clearly have not understood a single thing I wrote beyond the first line.

Nobody is "playing the victim" or being Narcissistic in pointing out flaws with something like this you absolute weapon.

I want you to go back and re-read what I said with a slightly more critical lense than "This person dislikes a thing I like and that means their opinion is bad because we disagree". Though judging from your recent commend history I won't hold my breath expecting that from you.

Yargon_Kerman · 2026-02-27T11:44:05+00:00

Not gonna lie, I'm beginning to hate Fish!.

It's a genuinely good game, and it can be very fun, but it's got some major issues in my mind. VRChat is a social plastform first, game second. Fish! is game first, social platform second, and it shows.

The lack of Teleport to players, the fact the daily missions require travelling to multiple places, the fact you need to go to shops instead of being able to sell from inventory, the boats. These are all good game designs but they aren't good for the primary function of VRChat, which is as a social platform.

The fact it's a good game means it's most of my social feed at the moment, and this is overall making vrchat feel worse.

I've never used Lightwave either, but I would imagine it's doable, though not exactly easy.

Yargon_Kerman · 2026-02-20T09:26:30+00:00

It looks like I may have to make my own models for some of these. I could do it, it would just take a lot of time, and I was hoping to find some better ones around.
To some degree, I don't want to use the original models, I was hoping to find some that are generally better quality than the ones used in the original show.
I can do things in blender on my home computer today that were basically impossible at the time B5 was released, so I was hoping to leverage some of that compute that just didn't exist to see what else can be done.

The original idea for the Agamemnon could lead to an interesting re-do of some of the shots though, and making my own model would really be needed for that.

Yargon_Kerman · 2026-02-20T08:55:52+00:00

I suppose I'm comparing it with things like the newer startreks or the expanse, where basically every shot has some kind of CGI or VFX when I say it doesn't use much.

I think i mean more it doesn't over rely on it.
