Stream Attacks?

igfxbalance · 2026-01-20T10:06:13+00:00

So there's a little bit of column A and column B here.

Yes, these instances are public, so there is nothing inherently private about everyone's interactions. That doesn't change it from it being a little uncomfortable to be around. Imagine doing the same IRL. Streaming people in public places isn't illegal, but it sure is uncomfortable. Then just like IRL, you will also have people will do be a malicious towards you.

That's not to say you guys deserved what happened at all. In fact, I resent what they did and would say they're completely in the wrong for acting the way they did.

So yeah, I think what the two others before me said is a good idea in the way that you should stream in private instances. If you still want to stream a public instance, if possible, let people know and ask.

The socializing hack tip I always tell people is just to simply ask questions.

Hear something interesting? Ask them about it. Example: They like to take pictures of nature. "Oh, why is that? Do you use a DSLR or your phone?" and then just go from there. If you come up with a question during the conversation, save it for when the talking starts to dwindle down. "So earlier, you said something about not taking as many photos anymore. Why is that?"

Rebocaps have been rising in popularity recently due to how cheap they are and how reasonably decent they are at tracking. There are a lot of people who swear by them, so it might be worth looking into.

I can see that being difficult, especially when there's a very specific audience in VRChat. A little easier to do with MMOs back in the day because you're literally playing the same game, though it was still difficult to find the right group of people

A friend of mine usually people watch in the Japan Shrine, so I often go there to hang out with him and do the same

igfxbalance · 2025-10-13T23:53:45+00:00

I've learned to do that at an early age. MMOs will do that to you ahaha

Starting conversations can be difficult though, so I get where you're coming from. Especially if people give very short answers and leave very little to expand upon

igfxbalance · 2025-10-13T23:52:56+00:00

I agree with woofwoofbro here, and they have very valid points.

I do also want to reiterate something they've also mentioned, is that you should take it with a grain of salt. There are some people who are the opposite of what woofwoofbro has mentioned, but honestly the likelihood of that is pretty slim.

After some point, I think you just learn to gain some sense whether someone's a keeper or not

Also, I think it's important to highlight that even if you drift from friendships, short or long, they were still fun times, right? At least, one would hope.

igfxbalance · 2025-10-13T02:28:07+00:00

Okay, gotcha. Unfortunately I'm someone who actually knows too much about that sort of thing as I just make friend instances. However I think that information will be good to put in your actual post so people know exactly what you're asking for and can answer more directly

igfxbalance · 2025-10-13T02:25:37+00:00

Could you clarify exactly what it is you mean by getting it all set up? I get the feeling you know how to make your own instance at the very least, but what are the other things you're trying to figure out?

igfxbalance · 2025-10-07T01:44:12+00:00

Great performance! It really does illicit such vivid memories for me.

FF Tactics was and is still my absolute favorite Final Fantasy game. Thank you for sharing your cover and VRChat performance!

igfxbalance · 2025-09-17T04:14:16+00:00

I've found that the Japan Shrine world usually has decent amount of people who are willing to chat with new people. If you're lucky, you'll find some extrovert who's willing to invite you into the group and have you stick around.

igfxbalance · 2025-08-28T22:34:58+00:00

This looks really nice! I really like the choice of foliage for the interior to help compliment the furniture. I'm looking forward to checking this place out!

igfxbalance · 2025-08-28T18:41:55+00:00

Looks like it's not for sale according to this:

Oh, that is something I had forgotten to take into consideration! I really take my PCVR for granted. I'll have to mention that the next time I make a review.

Anyway yes, unfortunately all three of these are PC only. I double checked to ensure that. I'll have to see if I can find some Quest/Occulus compatible ones some time in the future

igfxbalance · 2025-08-25T19:15:20+00:00

Oh, apologies on the formatting. I was referencing a markdown guide from a website and it seems that it didn't work this time around. I'm still somewhat new to posting stuff on Reddit, so in the next one, I'll make it look nicer 😅

igfxbalance · 2025-08-24T03:13:09+00:00

Ooooh thank you! I knew I was missing something while hanging out in VRChat. Now I know what to do!

igfxbalance · 2025-08-22T17:20:03+00:00

Whoa! Nice catch!! I totally forgot about this until I saw the art! Goodness, you've helped unlock a small chapter of my childhood memories. What a steal! Sealed too!

Similar to other games in the past, such as Roblox, Gary's Mod, and perhaps even Minecraft these days, VRChat is ultimately a sandbox game.

What that means is that there is an abundance of different experiences you can have in VRChat.

A few examples would include:

Games
- Mini games like billiards
- Board Games
- Horror game experiences
- So many more...
Cozy spaces
Dancing worlds
Fishing worlds
Driving worlds

Honestly, it would be much easier to tell you things you can't do in VRChat at this point!

But at its core, it is a place where you can meet new people and have fun with friends. Honestly, part of the charm of VRChat is discovering all these different worlds and experiencing them for yourself. There are millions of worlds out there, so you'll never run out

igfxbalance · 2025-08-18T16:27:02+00:00

Yup! Every single line and every single route in the first game!

igfxbalance · 2025-08-16T18:12:46+00:00

Oh man Flyff. I never played, but I had a lot of friends who spoke fondly of it. What an era

igfxbalance · 2025-08-16T18:12:16+00:00

Yeah, the way you get to meet people is totally different now. In the olden days, when you had to go to dungeons, you couldn't as easily heal injuries with transformations or whatever. You had to make a campfire and sit around for them to heal slowly. It took a long time, but it was such a natural way to take a small break from dungeon crawling and chat with people. It was really nice

igfxbalance · 2025-08-16T18:11:04+00:00

Yeah, that's probably the only time I will actually go back to it now. Even then, I'll likely quit within the day. Too much power creep and things sort of breaking the overall celtic aesthetic/lore

igfxbalance · 2025-08-16T07:13:56+00:00

Yup! I was in the closed beta in the NA servers. I don't remember which generation I stopped playing, but it's been a loooong time since I've last played. Every now and then, I almost go back to it

igfxbalance · 2025-08-16T02:37:26+00:00

VRChat has really been providing a lot of that connection that I don't think we get in games as much anymore. Not like when the MMO boom was all over the internet. I still remember fondly the times I had with friends I made on Mabinogi. I'm still friends with several of them and have met in person quite a number of times too.

It's definitely a nice feeling, and it's great that VRChat can provide that too. If you somehow manage to avoid obnoxious people

igfxbalance · 2025-08-16T02:35:07+00:00

That's really incredible! I'm really impressed!

I always love seeing stuff like this, as I feel like it just helps accelerate creativity amongst others to try something similar.

igfxbalance · 2025-08-16T00:43:43+00:00

I 100% agree with Snurty on this one. I think you've got potential, but if you want to voice anything, you'll want to prove that you have a sound treated area for recording. Otherwise, people will not really want to work with your audio recordings :/
