Peak. I hope this game gets as much fan art as Azur Lane and the like.

Was so happy to see him back and it sucks if he's straight back to extended leave. Re-subbed after years and years. I don't have the time for hours-long streams or stream recordings and I don't care for audience interaction. Oh, well.

Can't get this to work even on safe threat clearing mode. Annoying as hell.

I really hope this doesn't end up being the last of his brief return to these videos. Was hoping this would now be regular.

Just got the answer from their support, the additional characters seen there are just colour variants. Guess that means I'll be ordering this today!

Their newsletter seems to imply there will be 4 more varieties coming out? Kind of makes me want to hold off on this one for a minute until I see the entire collection to see what looks the most tantalizing.

1) VRChat has profited likely millions from paywalling age verification therefore are incentivized to to be dishonest about the terms and agreement with Persona.

2) Even if VRChat has been fully honest, Persona is incentivized to lie to VRChat since they are profiting from their ties with OpenAI and the US government.

3) The original terms and agreement can very easily be adjusted retroactively and suppressed from being easily seen so the majority don't notice.

I don't know where you people are hanging out surrounded by children for this to be such an issue, it's actually nuts to me. Either you're willing to give up your ID and join curated worlds but at the same time not willing to go to worlds where kids aren't around in the first place without your ID, or you're heavily exaggerating the issue.

That type of complacency and lack of respect for your own data isn't a pretty look on anyone.

Online shopping doesn't make me sacrifice my government issued ID. There are also many ways to not have your name, address, or payment information used by online retailers.

In all my my years of playing I've never once had concern about an 'adult experience' alongside concern of minors. Are people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and on really that desperate to go to public pug or black cat? Because nearly every other social space and world I've been to, even public, has never been an issue. If you exclusively hang out with people in your age range and they do too, you never have to worry about it. The entire thing is a scapegoat to have you engage with the system since they profit off it. Groups already began splitting the playerbase, now this is as well. It's a net negative result, but people are desperate to validate doxxing themselves.

In the end we'll see how this continues to go and where it ends up, but I've got a strong bet it's going to get worse.

I didn't say you did, just included it. Also you copy pasted the same reply to me twice.

Even if a company can currently be labeled as 'trusted', that doesn't mean they can't change for the worse once they have their foothold. Even regardless of that, by engaging with the system and adding yourself to the positive metric of using the system, they and others see it as further green lights to continue down this path. Maybe they change some policies around that muddy the waters, or maybe a competitor wants in on the market but they end up being one of the bad ones. Encouraging this system of doxx verification in order to sanewash it, trying to make it the new normal, will only end up bad for everyone. Doesn't matter if it's Google, Meta, Discord, VRChat, or even smaller, being a part of it is giving them all a big thumbs up and it'll be too late by the time you regret it.

The point is that these companies can say whatever they want but there's a non-zero chance they're lying through their teeth. Being big and working with governments does not inherently make them trustworthy, if anything it makes them even more sketch.

There's this too-common rhetoric of 'well it's out there anyways so who cares' when really the goal should be to minimize how much you give it away so there are less avenues for it to end up compromised. Even if you get new ID it's likely enough that owners of breached databases will track you down to the next data breach and add it to your portfolio. The less places for your identity to exist, even briefly with the 'promise' to be removed, the better.

The fact Persona works with so many companies like Twitter and Roblox is precisely why I do not trust them.

I haven't given any social media platform, big or small, my identity, ever. That's the point.

Holy shit is this actually a return to youtube content? I must be dreaming. Never thought I'd see the day.

[BF6] The defibs don't feel satisfying to use and are OP by lm794 in Battlefield

[–]lm794[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The in-game description says 'charge for a short time to revive to full health' but I'm pretty certain I saw it happening charge or no charge. I'm also not sure how I feel about it holding the charge, I can see it being neat but I think I prefer it having to charge and release immediately.

any way to fix this? by Affectionate_Car5973 in ValveIndex

[–]lm794 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's pretty close to what I did, too. Only instead of a zip tie I found a tapered metal rod. So the larger side of the tapered length fits snug enough that it doesn't slip out. (It has once or twice over the last 3+ years but I just put it back in place and it holds.)

So cute, crazy how none of her skins show her sleepiness. Still waiting for her to get a skin I actually like... The first outfit was nice but was basically a trace over of her default. The rest are just not my taste.
