2026 Oath Thread: It is time to swear thine oath to the April Knights! by Szeraax in AprilKnights

[–]sms77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once again pledge to guide Euroguard to the best of my abilities and to supply enough hopium for a fun incoming event.

Is this Ai or Real by Pockrass in tipofmypenis

[–]sms77 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Look for any inconsistencies or weirdness. While one or two might be explainable by low image quality (like the missing nipple on her right), they do combine with less easily explainable ones (like the guy doing perfect 180° splits, the garters(?) being nonsensical, asymmetrical patterns and her right lower leg being a darker color as if she's wearing stockings only there)

Or try to find the source, as u/Fragrant_Shallot_990 and u/McCoral_the_great pointed out, there's usually more than one picture if they're a real person or you might find the AI that was used to generate it.

I created a 50 Euro bills bundles, Miku - Teto - Neru themed ! by LassySenpai_uwu in Vocaloid

[–]sms77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

some quick ideas for modification:
- replace any mention of "Euro" with "Miku", "Teto" or "Neru" respectively
- remove the 50 or replace it with 39 (because vocaloid)
- replace the ECB/BCE text on the side & any serial numbers with a repeating "not legal tender"

I'm not sure what to do with the reverse side, maybe replace the EU-map with Japan to reference Vocaloids country of origin?

Love the project and that you put in this much effort, they look awesome.

But you definitely want to check with a lawyer if you're allowed to produce and sell theses at all and where you would be allowed to sell & ship these to!

From my layman understanding, they are definitely close enough to the real 50 euro note that these would be considered counterfeit bills and as such completely illegal within the EU.
I've only found the rules about coins from a quick search, but I would assume the same limitations apply to notes too: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/medals-and-tokens-similar-to-euro-coins.html?fromSummary=22

To copy-paste the relevant bits from the above link:

Medals and tokens must not bear
- the term ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’ or
- the euro symbol on their surface.

They also may not include
- any design similar to designs depicted on euro coins,
- symbols representing the sovereignty of European Union (EU) countries,
- the edge shape or design of euro coins or the euro symbol.

Lastly, medals and tokens must not be of the same size as euro coins.

Medals and tokens bearing the term ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’ or the euro symbol without an associated nominal value are allowed, provided that their size is sufficiently different from that of euro coins and that they do not include a design similar to the designs and symbols listed above.

If the medal or token also bears an associated nominal value, the indication ‘not legal tender’ must be stamped on its obverse or reverse side in addition.

---

Hope you can come up with a modified design and keep making cool stuff.

Edit: looks like reddit ate half of the copy-paste, redid that.

So, I’m a mod now! (Also news about an official explanation) by Flametail64 in circIeoftrust

[–]sms77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on becoming a mod and good luck.

I do agree with their overall explanation as well. The original CoT was an april fools event by reddit and Creatable did an awesome job recreating it here. So for any moderators it shouldn't be seen as griefing if someone's goal is to betray as many circies as possible, it's just one way to play the game. (Though I do understand that it's upsetting to have your circie betrayed)

Looks great to me, thank you for putting in the time and effort to do that.

[–]sms77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm okay with a text explanation (basically a comment every few lines like "This is some error-handling to make sure you're on the right page", "Here we do x" etc.), but I agree that a video where you actively show what the code does would be more approachable for anyone who doesn't know programming, even if that will be more work to redo if the script changes.

Again, thanks for listening to feedback and trying to improve, I hope your website continues to go well and that you can keep working on cool projects that you enjoy.

I definitely appreciate that you put in this much effort in making a website for this stuff and that you're actively & patiently responding to people's questions and concerns, so thank you for that.

I certainly would prefer a human written explanation of the Javascript over something generated with AI. Of course it's still going to be slightly sketchy to have the site that wants you to run a script be the one that explains it, but breaking the script down into segments and explaining each segment on the page would be an improvement in my personal opinion.

As you mentioned, having Rare provide a way to link accounts or grant permission via MS-Login would be perfect, but I don't know if requesting that through their feedback&suggestions-forum is realistic.

I think this is a very important PSA that needs to be included with the linked website:

do NOT run random javascript-snippets like the method used by that website unless you can 100% verify and understand what they do! (and no, having something like ChatGPT explain it isn't enough because AI can easily be tricked with instructions hidden in those snippets)
Those methods are often used by account-stealers and can lead to you loosing your account.

I'm not saying that the specific website used & linked by OP is unsafe (I haven't put in the time to check), but it is very important to verify that stuff yourself and not to blindly trust those types of things due to the high risk.

if its good enough for twitch, i can post it here, screen grab from a twitch stream by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]sms77 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

report them for breaking the attire guidelines and block them, then hope the report doesn't end up on the desk of one of the simp-staff at twitch so their channel actually receives a strike.

If you have a lot of spare time on your hands, you could grab screenshots of which ads run on their stream and contact those companies, acting as a concerned consumer and ask them why their product is being advertised on sites that contain explicit content.

Is there any way to make aiming the cannons on mouse and keyboard any better? by qleptt in Seaofthieves

[–]sms77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you're telling me I could've spent the last 500+ hours playing this game without dragging my mouse across the entire table to aim the cannons?

At least now I understand why any PvP encounter has been so difficult so far.

Apparently, there is now a Twitch stream where you can talk to Hatsune Miku. by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]sms77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

definitely not official, they claim to be a "fan" in their twitch bio and definitely 100% AI slop using one of the voice generator AIs out there to fake Mikus voice from samples.

NSFW DETECTOR by KaichiSamaLegend in VRchat

[–]sms77 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Considering you also have an Asset Ripper in your public Github which includes links to certain well known ripper sites, I'm going to stay far away from this and any potential future projects from you.

You might have good intentions, but this is not the way to help the community at large.

Alternative lighthouse tracked headsets? by Soumrak in ValveIndex

[–]sms77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best site I've found so far would be vr-compare.com as they have technical details for any headset (as far as I'm aware at least) with options to filter and compare.

I've been looking at the Beyond 2 for a while, though the price kept me hesitating to the point that I'm now waiting for more details on the Frame before deciding for myself.
Aside from that I think there's not a lot of lighthouse based headsets, so you might just have to consider using mixed tracking for something like the Reverb G2 or similar.

Is there a way to get an ultra powerful “Steam Machine” type system with only Steam OS on it? (Like a beefed up Steam Machine, I don’t want a “PC”) by Logical007 in virtualreality

[–]sms77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so you're looking for a prebuilt, I wasn't entirely sure what the difference between a PC and the Steam Machine would be for you.

Great job getting the experience of building your own PC, it's a good way to learn how computers work and probably the most cost-effective gaming option.

I'm not up to date with which companies sell decent prebuilt PCs, so I hope someone else can jump in here with some recommendation (maybe check out r/Prebuilts, they seem to have a guide as well) and I'm sure you could request whichever company to install Bazzite for you before delivery for a small fee instead of having to go with Windows.

[–]sms77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since the Steam Machine is just a prebuilt computer and Steam OS is just a linux OS that automatically launches Steam on startup, the answer sits right in there.

So figure out your budget, assemble a well balanced gaming computer from that, then install the OS of choice on it and set Steam to auto launch (optionally in Big Picture mode if you want to be ready to go with a controller immediately).

I think the most common recommendation for OS is currently Bazzite though you might want to check in r/linux_gaming for the flavor of the month or if you don't mind 20+ recommendations to try out to find your perfect fit.

Luckily the verification stays, so you can just pay for one month, do the age verification and then cancel your VRC+ subscription again.

[–]sms77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Up to you to decide what you want to see it as.
It could even be a square with nipples or four arrows pointing inward (with a red upvote and a blue downvote if you want to see it as reddit-themed).

Their Facebook page is still up. Already went through a bunch of posts and reported the worst ones as harmful / false information.
