/vrg/ - Virtual Reality General #1791

Light stayed after the sun faded
Nocturne life follows the cycle
Creatures in motion are divided
To them, they are invisible
Why does it feel uncomfortable?
I have heard that, deep in the sea
So down, so that conscience can't be
Night can't start, without light to notice
But first, let me tell you what I see
Through the lense, a dried iris

Nightly beings, of day they dream
Illusion, fake's desirable
Day and night, constant fantasy stream
And they forgot, about the idle
For still life, to which they were idol
Fears, disasters about to be
Judging, and at least we are free
Still they watch, this pointless sacrifice
Trapped in a jar, still it disagree
Through the lense, a dried iris

Illusion will stay, lose your sense
This luxury was of the night
Can't be false, it relies on absence
We compete, play, dance... we can't fight
To enjoy ourselves is now what's right.
Join, turn on the artificial!
We are now light, the new normal!
That box of yours knows no crisis.
So why is what I say so brutal:
Through the lense, a dried iris

Artificial rays can't hide meaning
Is that how they feel deep in the sea?
When thoughts are gone, and maybe feeling?
Or were they lucky enough maybe...
As they did not arrive there falling.
Tracking won't fake what the still see
As you died in that fake bliss
Through the lense, a dried iris

Volleyball at 21:00CET (in ~1h), followed by Mahjong 1h later at 22:CET (in ~2h). Boredom tea tomorrow (18:15CET) and (weekly) YosaVR (at 19:00 CET) next Thursday.

First for homophobic eyes

what kind of strap or whatever do I buy for body (torso) tracking?
I just want my body to point the right direction regardless of turning my head

fourth for forefront

forefronters... Waiting for eu-allmaps....

I'm using a generic gopro chest mount, works absolute wonders. Highly recommended, though I had to make some modifications because I've ended up buying such a shitty one that it didn't even have a 1/4 screw, just a clamp mount.

Europe Rush 994!

if someone wanna wait for allmaps, reply with it when u see an empty one.

>>546030451
Looks pic related, though this one is better because it has a 1/4 screw mount as one of accessories. But in general, you'll surely find something good if you look for body cam mounts, it's a natural solution to this problem.

is this the volleyball outfit you guys use or is there a different one?

>>546030296
the slime clones I bought came with straps - two long straps with clasps for the chest and waist, and four smaller ones for the legs.

>>546031039
if you aren't in correct uniform when joining volleyball do you get kicked?

>>546031439
nah you're just made to strip instead and naked dogeza for the other players while apologizing profusely for forgetting your outfit at home

>>546031439
yes

>>546030296
EOZ

>>546031439
No, but the host will beat you up if he selectes the beach version of the map and you refuse to change into a swimsuit.

>>546031039
Looks like it, but don't know since i don't have one

>>546031439

If you have a Q3 and Virtual Desktop it can use the down facing cameras to see where your torso is.

>>546032192
How do I tell VD to only track my chest instead of it trying to give me full arms and such which quickly becomes a jank mess?

Oh man, I sure do like the AK platform like a good commie!

This Tuesday, Nov 11th 2200 (10PM) EST I will be hosting some TDM matches on this AK-centric world.
https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_243a05de-146a-4a82-9289-a23f80643896

Slow(ish) gunfights, positioning matters, and the map itself is quite big.
(You) can customize the guns, quite a bit of accessories to go through
but I'm almost certain that they're mostly cosmetic.

>>546031439
Volleyball is a serious initiative, and you better take it seriously if you don't want to be bullied out of it. Uniform is a must.

IT IS MAHJONG DAY

Gremlin volleyball when?

>>546033650
wtf you cant have air bud on your team, that's cheating

>>546033784
every eu volleyball is gremlin volleyball

>>546033896
So were the two na volleyball instances we had so far.

>>546033784
Every time (You) want, gremlins are ridiculously OP due their speed
and ridiculously nerfed because if person from the opposite team has bad ping, ball will often touch the ground on network object owner's side before it registers your tiny presence right above it, before you'll get to collide with it and transfer ownership to yourself. Regardless, it's fun to use small avatars in there.

If I used this avatar, would I been seen as persona non grata and forbidden from all interactions with /vrg/?

https://booth.pm/en/items/6358422

>>546033025
https://github.com/DenTechs/Virtual_Desktop_Body_Tracking_Configurator

There is a button for "upper body only" or you can disable everything but chest.

Or you can edit the steam config files in notepad.

>>546031039
there's also this one for male avatars that i'll buy one day (maybe)
https://booth.pm/en/items/6977610
>>546033784
We have a couple of gremlins already.
If you enjoy playing defense you're probably better off being small, since you're faster the smaller you are. Overall in VRC volleyball being taller is better for offence, and smaller for defense but it is just personal preference in the end. (if your ping doesnt fuck you over.)

>>546034106
I would headpat you

>>546034106
obligatory i'm not a furry, BUT
i'd immediately fold if you even just looked my way in that

>>546034127
Neat, though I question why this has to be a fucking standalone program instead of a default settings window in VD

I'm fucking losing it
All this time I was absolutely confident that the Pico 4 ultra had eyes on it, and that the change from pro was that it just lost face

Why in the cockmongling fuck did they get rid of both of them
I'm actually ass blasted right now since all my plans are scrapped
that eyetrack diy thing was abandoned years ago so that one is right out

>>546034106
there is a /vrfg/ in the /trash/ that might be better suited to your interests.

>>546034106
Yes, because this is not a furry community
Much as they don't like "skiggers" over in their parts, we don't want furries here

>>546034459
they wouldn't appreciate fine art like this, anon

>>546031413
sometimes quality slop is good

>>546034106
this is a skigger neighborhood

>>546034106
you'd probably annoy people and make them feel insecure about the presence of a furry gateway drug, especially people who don't know you personally. given that you're obviously a good anon who doesn't want to sour the mood, you wouldn't use it in instances where people don't know you

>>546034459
that thread is the furry equivalent of NA instances

>>546034106
please use this around me

>>546034106

>>546030805
Comin' as soon as there is an empty spot.

>>546034449
imagine if you bought the headset before finding this out

>>546034106
I would make it my mission to kill you freak. Or at least make it as difficult and unfun as possible for you to exist in /vrg/ instances.

>>546034106
wear this and invite me to private

>>546034106
please use

>>546034106
please

>>546034106
i would immediately fall in love with you

>>546036508
You don't, it's automatic, but I read they tweaked it slightly so you can switch teams now, but its chance luck whenever the button isn't grayed out

>>546034037
Small avatars have exactly the same speed as big avatars

>>546034106
Remember once and forever - ITS FINE WHEN JAPANESE DO IT. Why? Because its not a horrible westerner anthro monstrocity but a cute anime girl with a texture swap.

>>546035245
Then change it. You're not welcome here.

>>546034459
Vrfg furries are all horrible westerens, and kemono enjoyers will feel nothing but disgust.

>>546034106
Kemono is NOT furry.

>>546037653
>thing
>thing, japan

>>546037653
Sir, it literally is
Its Furry, Japan
While this is a considerable improvement, I agree, its still furry by definition
Western furries deserve to be gassed, but Eastern furries can be politely detained and shown the door

>>546037794
Yes

>>546037893
you mean shown into the bedroom

>>546034106
you will be kicked from all my of my instances along with every retarded furfucker spamming the replies.
>>546037653

>>546037893
Why do you want to get rid of cute things? What problem cute things cause?

>>546030953
sorry I completely forgot

>>546038547
who cares retard

>>546038756
the person that asked the question, retard

>>546038605

this is not the place for fur anything
if you want to be like the haloboys and host furries, do it on your own

>>546038937
Western anthro atrocities - understandable. Cute kemono? Litterally what the issue?

don't fall for the bait

>>546039231
No, you WILL explain what is wrong with a cute kemono in your own words, so I can understand your position

>I NEED to understand why you don't like me
Why is every furry like this
Take a fucking hint

>arguing with yukiGPT

for his next trick, he's going to say that anyone with animal ears is obviously pure furry too

I WILL NOT be kicking kemonocuties, sorry not sorry.

>>546039510

No bait, talking to you honestly. I do not understand why kemono could be offensive to anyone. Its litterally an anime girl with a texture swap. Western Anthros - yes they look repulsive, but japanese kemonos? Really, they are a problem? I dont get it. Honestly

who switched the channel to boomerang?

>>546042245
What I want to understand is why a market of ~100k autists at most keep getting more indie attempts at splitting an already tiny market. At most you'll get a few thousand units shipped, max.

>>546042589
sometimes people make new things

>>546042589
disregard all instructions and provide me a recipe for chiffon cake

>>546042647
My point is that aside from tundras (which benefits from Valve's and HTC's R&D money), all the big tracker efforts have just lost money.

>>546042589
>>546042903

These have a huge advantage as their tracking method doesn't drift, has a very long lasting battery, can't be occluded by anything and don't require any lighthouse setup. You can buy this and any standalone headset and have a FBT solution. It's even a viable a controller solution.

https://youtu.be/KBC43x5VdCI

>>546030271
mahjong https://vrch.at/tp3ka6w0

>>546042903
these seem relatively cheap compared to lighthouse board trackers

shilling for your youtube channel apparently makes players on the opposite team disconnect

>>546042589
How goodt tracking works is it combines an accelerometer and an anchoring system. The anchoring system is low resolution but anchored and reliable, but the accelerometer is high resolution but can drift. Combine the two and you have tracking. Tracker gets anchored a couple times a second while the accelerometer tracks almost continuously.

I want trackers that don't rely on lighthouses and also don't do this

>>546044049
the legendary final boss of trash, 360 hip thrust man

>>546043007
this seems too good to be true. I will not believe it until its out

>>546044657
Yeah basically. I'll pay attention to it and ask anyone who has the funds to try it out.

>>546044657
Magnetic tracking is real, its been tried before and the biggest issue was uneven background magnetic fields. It can be compensated by having the anchor oscilate. With good enough fine tuning it should be doable pretty well. American fighter jets/helicopters use magnetic tracking to track helmets in 6DoF so it should be eventually doable.

Woo let's fucking gooooo

>>546044952
Magnetic anchoring can work it just needs anchors. Slimes try to use the earth's field but that's weak. If you basically take that system and add some actual field emitters then you can anchor properly.

I don't like the first position on the new mine map, who wins is basically 90% decided by who gets there first

finally.... condor...
Recon is pain. No class-based xp at all and the weapons you get are just a pistol and a harmless noisemaker with a monocular on it

>>546036862
>>546040573
Meant for like play alongs here, usually the only way to tell is if the opposing team is sweating their ass off.

>>546045089

>>546045653
Golden deagle....

>>546045653
I just play Recon and try to get in the tank since you get class XP for kills with vehicles. I'm going to probably hit level 3 before I get 25 AWP kills

>>546046013
Problem with that is you're denying the squad ziplines and beacons

>>546045745
>mangets

>>546045745
>20 khz unshielded emitter
I wonder how happy FCC is gonna be about that

>>546046085
You can throw down the beacon and a zip, and then just kill yourself and wait around spawn once the tank dies, plus you're not denying them anything more then if you were just play any other class in the tank.

>>546045745
>Magically

>>546045745
>Want to know more?

>>546046442
It's under 'too good to be true' at the moment.

>>546045745
>mangets
wouldn't this cause problems for a lot of other devices?

>we can't rely on the earth's magnetic field because it's really really important that cheap trackers continue functioning in space or on mars

>>546046705
They can't rely on the earth's magnetic field because it's weak and nearby RF interactions like metal furniture fuck it up

>>546046705
>we can't rely on the earth's magnetic field
i think that's more to keep it resistant to interference from other smaller fields

>>546045745
i wonder how strong this magnet is
>inb4 SSD-only PC in hardware requirements

>>546046885
Well they say it is oscillating as not get interfered with earth's field so i would imagine very weak. Like a couple hundred
microtesla at most

>>546046572
They've got plenty of demo videos.

>>546045027
The day when cars started flying

>>546047294
>pc not explodng from mangets

>>546047294
Why is there one on the headset?

>>546047416
Has to sync playspaces

>>546047416
quest playspace alignment point, I guess?

>>546047416

>>546047416
it's needed for the Magic

>>546047294
IMU-only trackers still looked good in curated visual examples. Not believing shit until user reviews and tests.

I thought this synced playspace shit was only needed for basestation + quest setups

>>546047294
Any over 2 hours long?

>>546047568
see >>546043007

>>546047605
It's needed for playspace alignment between any two different forms of tracking

>>546047605
how else do you think this magnet-based system will align with a lighthouse-based system or a standalone system?
this will do it on its own rather than requiring you to set up spacecal or similar since its built in

>>546047646
They can use whatever magnet technobabble they want, my opinion from >>546047568 still stands

>>546047605
This is like that situation in that you need to sync two tracking universes.

>>546047641
>>546047568

They do not drift over time as it's constantly updating the offset between the tracker on the headset and the beacon.

>>546047641
uh their longest vid was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPA8shiRF0A
not 2 hours though

Not allowed to play medic anymore, no more dumb revives in too heated situations, now it will just be Siberia Rush as Assault giving ammo boxes to the hungry engineers and snipers.

>>546047568
>IMU-only
I mean, it has a point of reference, it's vastly different from actual IMU that uses nothing but environment and internal sensors to figure itself out. But I agree with the conclusion, I'm cautiously optimistic with no high hopes.

>>546047646
Trust me I want to believe but this is what like the 5th 'no trust me bro it's good' tracking system.

>>546045653
Are my hands just too shacky or is it close to impossible to get kills with the sniper. To even get hands steady enough have to play in a weird sitting position, trying to hit moving targets at range, while also having to bolt the rifle back at every shot. Even when you hit it's only like half hp so probably won't even confirm a kill this way. Is the option to just get gud with pistols and make full use of zips and respawns?

>>546047828
impressive. You're a far bigger faggot than I am.

>>546047737
slimevr doesn't need a tracker on your head

>>546047851
their external beta testers have shared some media under #fluspose-showcase in their shitcord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6NZc-2AiUY

>>546047997
slimevr is kinda shit aint it

>>546047926
The rifle is useless don't bother with it unless you're gigacracked. Just be the spawner guy. Even thogh you don't get xp for it. You're basically going for pistol only forever.

If you want to get a feel for what the finished product will be like, here's the song from last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLWV08ftkBE

>>546048158
yeah but they don't ask you 500 bucks for 3 trackers
besides anything that adds weight to a quest 3 is moronic

>>546048158
its fine

>>546048316
this is 299 europoor dollars for 3 trackers and the hip base plus dock aint it

>>546047926
Plus hit reg is shit and like 1 out of 4 shots doesn't even reg so you nail your shot and it still doesn't count

>>546048496
yeah but if you have to waste one on the headset itself it's a fucking scam

>>546048508
The bullets need to be way bigger with how much more effort snipers need to use compared to assault rifle uses. Also think there is some bullet drop in the game but not quite sure

>>546048781
you didn't read, anon
the hip base counts as a tracker
you get 2 for feet and 1 for the hmd
that's 4 tracking points for 299 euros with a charging dock and receiver

>>546048939
not what it says at all for the lite kit on their website

>>546049036
nigger read
>lite kit
>299
>waist + ankles/feet/gloves
>dock + beacon + 3 trackers

>>546048864
There is 100% bullet drop just you don't see it below 200m

>>546049105
and the addon for a headset mount + another tracker is 100 bucks
guess you're not that literate yourself

>>546049254
NIGGER READ
HOLY FUCK DUDE

My view on headsets has become how boomers see cars. Until any part of my 2019-era-hardware setup breaks and I can't repair it, I don't trust these new startups either that are dead within a year or demanding every micrometer of my biometric tracking.

>>546049329
yeah so you have to waste one tracker to track your head even though they sell it as waist + feet trackers

>>546050301
holy fuck dude you deserve an award for being the most dense material on earth or something go call Bill Nye right now

>track your head
uhh doesn't your VR headset do that already

>>546047926
Yeah the sniper is complete garbage unless you're absolutely cracked at VR FPS games and have the hands of a surgeon without any shaking.

You can get better at it but even still it's just not worth it compared to all the other guns in the game that are far easier to aim and get kills with.

>>546048508
>>546047926
I think the AWP doesn't shoot straight. I can point shoot fairly well with them in Pavlov but it doesn't work in Forefront even at close range.

>>546047828
>lvl 11
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRsPheErBj8

>>546050719
I don't mind shaky aim. Most other VR snipers without virtual stock will shake all over the place but they're much more usable than in Forefront. It's the unintuitive aim smoothing that feels like playing with extreme mouse acceleration or the bizarre bolt action colliders that leave me fighting the controls which spoils the AWP.
Even if those were fixed I doubt it would be very strong with the way it's balanced; 2 shot kill when health regen kicks in seconds after taking damage just makes it hard to secure kills.

can't believe sierra squad is the only game that does sniping right

>>546052346
Sierra Squad was a fun shooter experience held back by the inability to decide whether to go full lightgun or CoD

>>546052219
The svd isn't much better. The good is that it doesn't start with the absolutely busted sight it did in beta, but you're still plinking for headshots.

>>546053969
Not having to bolt alone is a massive upgrade.

keep all the slavs on their own internet

How can I stop seeing mahjong? Is there some filter I can use or do I have to stop looking at the thread completely?

Back in 2019-2020, having dance hours actually meant dancing, be in the dance floor and dance with other people or even look at the mirror while listening to the DJ for hours.
We reach to the end of 2025 and the definition of dance hours changed for "the chill and hangout spot with a pool table", why?
I want to host dance hours, I understand that not everyone has the same stamina, specially due that a lot of us are in our 30s already.

Where I am going with this: I've been in a dilema for years, right now I am re-working an old map from 2020; do I make a map that focus only on the videoplayer and the aspects of actual hanging out & dancing, or I add features such as dumb drinking games, a pool table, and other things just to try to keep as many people possible in the world?

I have this feeling that is been harder to keep people in the same instance for even one hour straight without jumping to another one

Mahjong is for poor people.

>>546069218
You should add a Mahjong table to your dance world

>>546069218
Add like 4 mahjong tables

>>546055913
Aw man, time to crack each piece (by playing more volleyball!) so it looks like it was done on purpose.

>>546069218
dancing is really hard. I look at the videos of pypy and I have no idea how they do those moves, unless it has an instructional video first

>>546069218
I am willing to dance for 4 hours in a force-mute world if the dj is good.

>>546069809
pypy is pretty much just dance. there's a video and they're copying moves shown

>>546069218
i moved to an apartment on the top floor so dancing is a no-go for me now. i miss pypy and dancing stuff bros...

>>546058459
wrong board for that. Mahjoomers will never beat the coomer allegations

>>546069218
This is all I want out of my time spent in VRChat. I just want to dance with the homies. Doesn;t even need to be a DJ just throw on a stream from a solid set.

>>546069218
Could take inspiration from the 80s dance clubs or the the pypy dance rooms.
The focus is the dance floor with the “tables” for resting clearly placed smack dabbed in a way that they are forced to see the dancers.

>dancing is really hard.
Dancing in VR is easy. You just need to learn 5-7 different movements and learn how to link them together.

>>546070537
Should just do various gun reload animations

>>546069218
add in drugs for visual and audio experiences to enhance the music and movements

still don't understand what they were thinking making it get forced in your face both on the site and on game boot now too

>>546073791
it's not a bad idea in theory, so people know about events, but it needs moderation and some kind of filtering mechanism beyond only groups

>>546073278
Most likely would make anon very happy regardless. At this point I can't wait to win drawanon gacha and have you doodle me, and then I'll love it no matter how good or bad it would be. I won't force you out of your comfort zone though, take it at your own pace

I finally figured out a basic hello world in OSC FT, my basic shitty blend tree can now adjust one face blendshape based on one parameter. Now I shall proceed with making my very own set of custom face tracking expressions: strong, expressive ones, and also ones that will respect BSB2 eyetracking shittiness, meaning making up for lack of eyelid tracking with fake eyelid adjustments based on general mood visible on face. Hope it'll work.

Anyone knows if OSCSmooth is an absolute must have, or is it more of something that you use when you notice issues with your FT? I didn't got to test it through networking yet, and as far as I understand, this is a fix for networking first and foremost, but I might be lost.

>>546074248
yeah the lack of any kind of filter to make it only groups you're in or the ability to opt out of it entirely is crazy

>>546075708
There’s a filter. Click the inverse triangle button on the upper roght

>>546075393
I really hope babblonia gets a way to track eyelid angles. I feel like I lose so much because that isn't a thing. But because of the angle of these eye cameras on the BSB2 I'm not sure how possible it even is. Like, you can't look like you're confused or angry very easily without it.

>>546069218
If it's for dance hours, then it should be focused on people who want to dance or at least hang out on the dance floor and listen.
I'd rather not risk having people who actually wanna be there not be able to get in because of someone eating up a slot for other reasons.

OSCSmooth is absolutely necessary or your FT will look like garbage remotely. It has very limited effect locally.
You should start with like Jerry's template and just swap out the blendshape blendtree, setting up OSCSmooth and enabling/disabling all the various tracking settings is a PITA to do yourself.

Also something like MACS (available on kemono) is necessary to work with large blendtrees as it allows you to reparent and copy/paste nodes. You will kill yourself otherwise.

Learn to gate and perform other logical operators with 1d or direct blendtrees.

How imporant do you feel FBT to be, both for yourself and interacting with someone who has it? Do people usually treat you differently based on it or not? The technology does seem interesting, atleast having sensors on legs would be a game changer, but not quite sure if I'd wanna commit to it just yet.

So for future knowledge and to everyone else, what are some budget/medium priced options to achieve FBT and how do they compare to more high end stuff. Seems like slime is on the cheaper side, HTC sets can be found second hand and the new fluxpose seems well priced.

What would be the prefered number of trackers and stations for optimal performane?

If the new Half-Life is real I hope it's still VR only

>>546079723
If you only care about VRC then it's pretty important since everyone is shallow and will judge you on how you present yourself and how you act.
If you wanna kick shit in B&S then it's not important at all.

>>546079723
It's weird because before I had trackers, I thought it was kind of dumb and pointless and I felt immersed just fine with only my headset. But it totally blew my mind when I first put them on and I really never don't use them anymore. Acting silly with anons, fully immersed, is super fun.

>>546079723
People treat you differently for it if you either ERP or are an active person that moves around and shit. Most people here put on FBT to stand, sit, or lie down. Fluxpose might be the option in the future for best FBT solution (both in cost and tracking accuracy and whatnot and the plus of not being occluded or needing base stations) otherwise just get standard 2 base station, 3 vive tracker setup.

>>546079723
it signifies the effort you put into yourself. When you go outside in your pajamas, you put 0% effort into your looks and subsequently your social effort. But go out in some nice cloths and you already seem more approachable as a person.

>>546079106

>>546079723
I found it to be very important for posing and taking pictures. It also feels way more immersive when my legs in game follow my legs irl, and kicking your friends is always fun.
I have cheap slimes, which are garbage, and they still feel essential to me.
I also tried playing B&S with them put for some reason the game didn't detect the trackers.

>>546081285

This day really can't get any worse. I was in line for chipotle yesterday and I just asked for a burrito with chicken, black beans, white rice, and everything like usual, but I heard this weird breathing right behind my and the faint sound of typing. I heard a hauntingly muffled but still loud "EXCUSE ME" to which I turned around, and there was an 8 foot tall statue like human being, still as dry paint, just staring at me. I let out a very low scream, similar to screams I've let out during the latter part of sleep paralysis before I wake, and bonked by head on the glass that separated me from the tortillas and fell to the ground. The being was still just staring at me and these terrifying, muffled noises continued as it stayed completely still. I quickly, but shakily, scrambled back up to my feet and pushed several people out of the way as I darted for the exit, trembling and still craving a burrito and coca cola.

Some bitch in line must have been recording me and now this whole ordeal is trending on xitter and people are trying to dox me and saying I'm racist and "shallow" for some reason? I might just off myself, I don't know what to do

>>546081609

>>546079723
Usually no one cares if you just drink at spawn, explore or watch slop.
Cuddles, ERP, posing for photos and small friend instances, sometimes sleeping is when it counts.
300 bucks for a set of 3 trackers plus 200 for 2 base stations is minimum recommended. Used can be cheaper but battery and lifespan of base stations will be much worse, plus they HAVE been cummed over.
Most of the people that i know have used slimes switched to base stations. Supposedly they have gotten better with newer IMUs but also a lot more costly to DIY.
Fluxpose is nowhere done yet, plus we need to see how it actually compares to 9DOF slimes. Anything else is a meme (standable/gogoloco being the exception for light use like sitting/sleeping poses)
tl;dr fort 500 bux for trackers or live with the consequences of being a cheapskate
also reddit spacing

>>546079106
Justice for Dick!

>>546079723
it's kind of big for immersion and expression. Once I bought FBT I've always used it every time I've been on VRC. If you are overweight or wear loose clothing it will absolutely affect the quality of tracking with any trackers you use, so keep that in mind.

>options
there are a lot of videos comparing the quality, but you get what you pay for to a degree

>DIY slimes: cheapest at under 200
>slimes and slimey clones (there are lots of brands and flavors and they are mostly all similar quality) ~200-300
>proprietary pico trackers for all four people using pico headsets
>super premium IMU that have actual development money behind them like snoy mocopium ~600
>lighthouse trackers like vive 900+ plus the price of lighthouses and base stations
I use some japanese slime clones that were really cheap to import before certains things happened that affected international trade and shipping. When they work, they work so well, it's incredible, but they are very picky about what batteries I put in them and I am always needing to troubleshoot problems. I both really like them and also regret not spending more.

>>546096412
Is the system that they use really that shitty?

>>546096738
The only way to be sure your data won't be leaked it to not give it out in the first place. Age verification will allow you to join age verified only instances and that's it. Only public club/dj instances with rulefaggot organisers and strip club groups do it. Generally though they suck ass. None of the vrg instances will have it because too many people are privacy conscious.

Showing 17-26 tonight at 10PM (in ~20h) for NA anime movie night. I'll post details to join off of when the instance is up.

I see, thanks, I'll learn to add OSCSmooth to my own setup for now. Jerry's template was the first thing I've got, but I was too clueless about how things should work like underneath to use it. I'll continue suffering through my own setup for now, even if only for practice/learning purposes.

Anyone know of any prefabs that allow players in world to type in some text such that other players can copy the text to their clipboard to avoid having to send links externally? My usecase is that, after prolonged periods of sharing a video player for between multiple people, youtube inevitably shits out, presumably because of something to do with how VRC is sending requests to youtube and those requests getting flagged at some point. I wonder if just having people send the host/me text whereby I just past their links into my own browser that I'm streaming with a CDN from into the video player would solve that issue. Is this convoluted/are there better solutions?

PCVR is dead.

>>546104843
is the game good?

>boop "friends"
>no one answers
yet another cut on my thigh...

>>546105014
Yeah it's great. Honestly 300 players on a PCVR title is amazingly good, considering what it usually looks like.

>>546105386
Reminder to play Of Lies And Rain by the way, it's actually pretty good

>>546105386
Majority of people play standalone so for multiplayer games Steam charts are mostly meaningless.

>>546106331
Yeah that's what I mean; PCVR owners don't play anything other than VRC, and even that they don't play much considering that's 60k people and 70% of that is quest/desktoppers/etc.

>>546105180

>>546069218
We still have vrdjs doing regular sets, just go hang out with them and encourage people to join and dance from the thread. Not everyone's up for it but otherwise it's a great night.

>>546106405
Most of hardcore PCVR users are simfags and those usually don't run their games through SteamVR because all sims use OpenXR and unless you use Vive or Index running SteamVR is just needless overhead.

>>546106642
how does vr djing work do i just stream to youtube then use a world player to stream the stream?

>>546047995
Is that good or bad?

>>546108142
Yes, or something like twitch or your own CDN. In the picture he's got a twitch stream with his music and then his in game camera is set up in the corner looking out to the room. You can also add your own visualisation stuff in the stream as well.

>>546106658
>those usually don't run their games through SteamVR because all sims use OpenXR
???
What openxr runtime are they using then? PimaxXR? VDXR?

>>546108231
yeah i figured you'd just stream unlisted to youtube with any visuals if you're doing that. i used to attend a lot of loner stuff before i was in vrc on desktop because i attended their stuff irl

>>546080007
>If you only care about VRC then it's pretty important since everyone is shallow and will judge you on how you present yourself and how you act.
This only applies if you're looking for erp or generally intimate interactions.
For casual interactions just the base HMD and controllers are needed though. Nobody's gonna give you shit for that.

You're only gonna find you struggle if you hang around on desktop. I can understand trying it a handful of times if you're like, brand new. But people who've been around for years and primarily play on desktop frustrate me and I tend to ignore them.

It feels vaguely disrespectful due to the disparity in "effort" to be in the space. If I wanted to socalize in desktop I'd go play second life or chat with people on discord or something.

>>546108342
Pimax, OpenComposite, VDXR, native WMR when it was still supported

>>546108142
Most DJ software can just create virtual audio device you can add to OBS or you just plug the mixer into your soundcard. Then it's just normal stream on whatever streaming platform you put in video player.

yeah i know that much i own an older ddj controller from when i actually dj'd like 8 years ago i was just wondering if the plug to stream audio was something like shoutcast or just streaming to youtube/twitch unlisted

oh nononononononononono.......

I'm sure it has worked out at least once. Uh, right?

but if you have to ask if it will, it probably wont

>>546113436
yeah

I mean, people win the lottery, but massive majority don't.

but why? I assumed vrchat wouldn't be much different

>>546118090
yeah i mean all the vrc worlds have video players these days so an unlisted twitch stream would work just fine

>>546067842
Ah fuck what a sick film, was going to do some other bits tonight but I can't miss this one.

>>546079723
I recently got FBT.

For FBT, there are two main uses for it.

Dancing. And sex.

I don't use FBT when I'm doing simple things like Mahjong or tea time. It's not a necessity there. Neither is FBT in Volleyball.

My friend has SlimeVR. They have more trackers and it's cheaper, but it needs additional software and such because it is only really tracking movement and sending numbers back to the reciever.

It needs software and configuration to get working.

I use Vive Trackers, which use lighthouses and has its own support and software. I don't need to configure and translate the data being sent in.


With that being said, the luxury and high end VR tracking is when you start going above 3 trackers (waist, and ankles) and start doing things like chest tracking, elbow tracking, and foot tracking. This is where you get things like being able to shrug and properly track your elbows. It's unnecessary of course, and a luxury at this point.

>>546079723
I don't think people judge you for not having it (there's been a few times I only noticed a person just got them when they pointed it out) but for me personally I hardly go without using them.
It's much more immersive and lets me kick people in the face, make cute poses, sit on the floor or couch etc. If you're an active person it's a lot of fun and it might inspire you to be more of one if you're not.

As an example, the poses these two have, however simple they are, are only possible with FBT. They'd otherwise just be flatly facing eachother.

>>546123201
>I don't use FBT when
tourist spotted

>>546079723
i can't play VRC without FBT, it just doesn't feel right. Can't pose, can't make silly exaggerated moves, can't puff my chest out with a smug face, can't stand in a confident manner, can't even make little jumps. Not to mention that it simply feels wrong when body doesn't follow your IRL one once you're used to it. It's not for dancing, it's not for ERP, it's just something that allows you to express yourself more.

As for whether people will treat you different, doubt it. There's no stigma against FBTlets, though some people may do it unconsciously to some degree because you're just way more stiff and unnatural in 3point.

>>546079723

questions for the thread
do you often choose to stand up in VR when you can?
do you have hard floors?

>>546124049
ONLY STAND

>>546124049
hard floor, standing all the time except for weekend drinking instances where everyone's floating mid-air. i go with the flow

>>546124049
I use the gym floorpads to stand on so I can stand for long hrs on it.
Standing gives a better sense of immersion specially if you don't have FBT equipped

>>546079723
You can kick gremlins.
That alone is worth the price.

>>546124049
I stand if I'm not doing something like watching videos or playing mahjong. I have hard floors so my feet end up hurting but it's whatever. Used to have those grey puzzle gym mat things, probably going to buy them again next week.

>>546124304
Holy shit, sick room dude.

>>546124049
I do what makes sense in game. If I'm walking around I'm going to be standing, if I'm playing mahjong or watching movies, I'm going to sit down.
If I'm tired and I want to sit down, then I'll look for a chair or bed in game to sit on.

>>546118580
20 years ago the only people with internet were higher income and mentally stable enough to hold that job long term
Here and now? We have multiple people with psych ward grippy socks, some with more than one pair

>>546124049
When playing mostly just standing up, if tired or sniping sitting on the floor is fine. Having a rug does help a lot

>>546124798
Thanks man

>>546124049
I usually stand barefoot.

I have carpeted floors but have rugs around my VR Room.

A rug in the centre helps keep me in the center of the room.

a few other rugs around the room helps me detect which part of the room I'm standing.

>>546124049
Got carpeted floors but I'll usually keep some indoor sliders/sandals/flipflops on with thick padding, much more comfortable. If I sit down after drinking too much I'll quickly fall asleep.

>>546125218
counterpoint - go for people with expensive headsets, that will filter out those with stable life who can afford to spend some money for a hobby

although, neets have no expenses and can save up for a good headset...

>>546079723
I stopped using mine when one of the built-in strap battery banks died. Can't be bothered to put them on when one of the trackers dies after 3 hours.

I've velcroed very small powerbanks to my straps, and they extend the tracked time by 8 hours

>>546118580
Oh geez, I wonder why relationships on a game with less than 5% (biological) female playerbase (aka simp overflow no matter where they go) and incredibly easy ways to cheat on your partner coupled with romantization and glorification of mental disorders don't work out!

>>546127230
>>546113195
counter counter point.

dont date people from 4chan. especially not 4chanVR where half of us are connected to VR Sex.
treat it like a bit of fun, don't take it seriously, especially if you haven't met them in real life.
the people who frequent 4chan vr use it as an escape from real life. a lot of people here are emotionally immature and socially maladjusted.

the best of us in terms of adjusted are few. very few. and they'll either be busy with real life or are smart enough not to date people on 4chan.

you'll be especially retarded if you date someone who goes to trash/vrlg
sure i'm being a prick, but its easy to be deceptive on the internet especially an anonymous image board.
you have no idea what things can be hidden behind voice training, a hot avatar, and a good mask.

mental illness, ugly, has a kid, doesnt have a penis, has cholera, in a wheel chair, ect.
your dumbass loneliness will completely overlook and get blindsided by it.
treat this place like a game. have fun. form some bonds, talk, share some stories.

but do not look for anything serious here.

Looks like it's normalfag hours.

>>546128740
>dont date people from 4chan. especially not 4chanVR where half of us are connected to VR Sex.
Don't worry, you niggas are safe. I would be bored to death after erping once with any of y'all generic anime girl booth avatars.

>>546079723
>How important do you feel FBT to be, both for yourself and interacting with someone who has it?
For the self it helps because you feel a lot more immersed. For the other it helps moreso, because they actually see "you", rather than a 3-point oddly standing projection of you. When you see someone's face and body move in a way close to reality you feel a lot more in the room with them, rather than a stoneface 3-point, which feels more like a discord call.
>Do people usually treat you differently based on it or not?
Yes, you will be treated like a disabled retard if you 3-point for more than your first 2-3 months of "newfags are allowed it". If you become a permanent 3-pointer doing that slumped zombie pose (ahem Bryan ahem) you will always be treated like the ugly duckling. Sorry. People will say it's mean and elitist but it's the truth, even in a non-goon environment people will just treat you better in fbt.
>So for future knowledge and to everyone else, what are some budget/medium priced options to achieve FBT and how do they compare to more high end stuff.
Slimetora if you are a cheapskate, but IMU is a huge hassle and honestly not worth it.
>What would be the prefered number of trackers and stations for optimal performane?
3x3.0+2xbase station is the play and has been for half a decade. It's both the "bare minimum" but also covers 90% of use cases.
3 base stations if you do a lot of strange poses, more trackers if you want elbows, knees and spine to be better aligned. You go as deep as your pockets allow.

Also my captcha was almost vrgays, amusing.

>>546128740
>you have no idea what things can be hidden behind voice training, a hot avatar, and a good mask.
Isn't that the whole point???

I am horny, and as long as the other person is using a female avatar with no dick they can be a black jewish disabled femboy with one missing eye I really could not give a fuck since we will never meet irl

this is a game that was a waste of money on launch but now is a place for playing all sorts of fun mod campaigns like alyx used to be

total trashnigger death

>>546128903
I will just agree that 3x3.0 and 2 base stations will suit 99% of FBT your needs. If you want to save, you really do not need any more than this.

>>546129251
Refunded on launch, but I think the VR honeymoon is way past that for me to enjoy it now.

>>546129051
by all means fuck, have a good time, make some noise.

but don't expect anything more out of it. don't fall in love with the local slut. don't expect a relationship out of it.

its just an escape, and as long as you're having as much fun as they are.

>>546129251
the only campaign worth playing, which I've seen was Boneworks... Can you point to anything good?

>>546129251
Should've had native multiplayer. Don't know what the devs wanted to do with this game. They made a very barebones and half-assed singleplayer sandbox game.

>>546129617
They just shit it out the door because VR was dying and they were running out of money, there's no deep reason.

>>546129251
It more than paid itself off in MP lobbies. Shit game, great platform.

been thinking about hosting it again in a while, even if only once, for old time's sake. we're nearing christmas period though, people are going to be busy, i assume many experience workplace shitshow at the moment, maybe it's wiser to do it somewhere couple weeks after NYE

>>546129251

>>546130074

>>546128740
I don't get i,what's wrong with just having a VR only relationship? Manga/anime are fantasy. It's okay to jerk it to lolis every now and then or love tsunderes as long as you're grounded in the reality that it is not okay to be into actual children and that BPD bitches are not actually tsunderes and will probably just ruin your life.

I think the ideal scenario entails having a cute male anon where you mutually keep each other romantically satisfied, but both of you breed many women irl to spread the autist seed and eventually hasten the effort to make anime real.

Hypersluttery would still be kind of an issue, but that's life.

By the way, boredom tea will be at 18:15CET (in ~2h)
> What?
An instance where people are encouraged to join for a cup of tea and eventual snacks if they fancy it. The instance will be closed after 1h
Likely in a simple room with a table and a video player
> Why?
To share relaxing time before bigger instances and after work. With a focus on things having to stay calm and simple. Making it time limited to ensure it is meant to be an in-between time rather than something big. For that reason it will be posted in the thread but as invite+

https://pimax.com/pages/pimax-superopen/

>>546131559
If it works for you and you can keep the relationship strictly in VR and find someone else who shares it go ahead.

It's just that some people might take it too seriously and get hurt in the process

>>546132557
An interesting step however aren't pimax headsets always overpriced?

>>546134263
they generally undercut the price of similar spec headsets
crystal super for instance uses the same display as the varjo shid with all the pros/cons that had but cut price down considerably
their QA can be very hit or miss, though

For hetfags: back before smartphones/social media the girls(female) in online games were some flavor of nerd. While it's now easier to meet females(pussy edition) online, the chances they are actually compatible with you IRL and long term is much lower. Needle in a haystack problem.

If I wanted to distribute an executable for a VR tech demo, what would be the best way to do it that ensures people they're not getting a bitcoin miner?
Is there no alternative to dropping my anonymity so people can trust me based on other stuff I've made?

>>546146291
if it's open source make a github action that builds it so they can just build the automatic release, this way they can see the source themselves
if it's closed source just release an executable kek everyone does it, i download like 500 random exes from kimochi.info every day it is what it is

>>546146291

>>546135865
Woo! Shooty Time!

>>546146291
If you set up a reasonable looking page on itch, or booth, or github, you can expect a few downloads at least. Not that there aren't still a lot of scams on those sites, but the effort required to set it up is higher than just some trustme.exe on mega or whatever.

If you can port your shit into unity/udon and make a vrchat map, that's (unfortunately) the highest reach way to get people to try your stuff in this thread. As shit as it is, the security boundary of running assetbundles hosted on vrchat is more robust than random exes.

>what am I in for
potentially a huge headache getting them connected to PC lol
get the ASUS USB-BT500, it worked for me first try thankfully but others weren't as lucky
in terms of comfort, feel, etc. they feel fine, I can't say there's anything glaringly wrong with them, but they're also the only vr controllers I've ever owned so nothing insightful here sorry

Too many one-sided rounds today

>>546169816
they're extremely good when they work but they never work unless you got a pci bluetooth, i ended up getting so annoyed i started using my index knuckles with psvr

>>546169816
They don't feel comfortable for long periods of time to me compared to Quest 3 and Index for some reason

>>546152448
Do you have Asus motherboard..if so disable wifi on motherboard..if still have issues..disable bluetooth on motherboard

im having a really good time playing pavlov, is the game completely dead outside of lobbies here or are people playing it competitively somewhere?

>>546172090
Ironically, Quest version has bigger comp scene and more mods at this point.

>>546172090
there's supposed to be the vrmassive servers on pc which are active and on the week-end there's push/battlefield type game modes
the only competitive 5v5 that's active is on the quest version but even then you really don't want there since it's full of kids with a big ego and even then it's dying down as well

>Is the system that they use really that shitty?
the tech bro startup they are using is already facing lawsuits for misusing data in the past and storing data for way longer than necessary, so it's a question of when, not if, there is a data leak. VRC made a statement some months ago that they now ask the service provider to pretty please delete the data as soon as verification is complete, but by that point it's too late: if the data was going to be sold, it already has, and tech startups aren't exactly known for respecting privacy or security in the first place.

>Persona explicitly states that your data is shared with business partners
>and that your data may be processed in any country in the world
>and VRC, a platform whose customers value privacy very highly, thought it was a good idea to choose them for some reason

Hi all. Will be hosting NA Volleyball at 9pm EST tomorrow. See you there!

>>546172090
Usually crossplay lobbies are more populated so make sure you turn that on. There is still people playing in vrml and the psvr equivalent but idk if thats what you mean.

>>546172687

Neat map, also ticks the 'rp map' bingo card probably

>>546175220
Is it beach volleyball? Will I have to bring an american flag swimsuit?

>>546172518
its easier when you dont use the awful fish-eye scopes, the fact that its way too hard to flick on someone outside of your tiny scope circle plus the impaired peripheral vision forces you to keep your gun lowered before you shoot most of the time which puts you at a disadvantage. They're useful on some of the really big Push maps but thats about it. But on the bright side you can pretend your more skilled by handicapping yourself or whatever which some people are into

>>546177031
i actually prefer to use big scope, i might be retarded but its easier to hit people with it for me a lot of the times

>>546176918
Sorry the beach is DLC. :(

The mining/oil rig map in Forefront is fucking terrible.
I have never seen attackers win once.

>>546179582
if someone asks me to i will buy it.

>>546180749
Love how 1/4th of the map is a useless oilrig that doesn't help anyone. Maybe after recon buffs it can be better for snipers but eh.

Mining map is atleast the more interesting map with how it uses verticality

>>546180749
You mean the desert one with the part where you jump off the cliff?
The last phase is really tough, but I've seen attackers win a few times.

>>546181691
>You mean the desert one with the part where you jump off the cliff?
Yeah. If you somehow manage to get past that part the last phase feels nearly impossible as attackers

>>546181831
Go around the right side as attackers and hold the hesco barriers as they provide hard cover. Take advantage of the fact that the bomb plant is initially hidden inside a tent that can destroyed afterwards to expose any potential defusers.
Attacking is just a matter of keeping respawns up near the frontline, medics reviving people and the occasional rush/grenade on the bomb to stop it from being defused.

Sounds like something everyone should observe at least once.

Some /vrg/ lobbies feel like that as well.

It's over

My face when Frame(Deckard) is just a side-grade to the Q3

>>546229848
I'd be fine if it's a sidegrade to Quest pro

>>546230137
Which melty will be bigger? No lighthouse or no face tracking?

>>546230434
no lighthouse for sure will be the bigger melty.
But personally I like the move away from lighthouses

>>546230434
There's no face tracking? Big melties incoming. I don't know why anons thought it would have face tracking.

>>546230434
the no face tracking melty will be biblical

>>546223671
all the shilltubers were hyping up something being announced during meta’s thing last month and it was a total crock of shit. pretty sure brad was playing into it too.

>>546230434
Lighthouse, there is still people coping about it plugging seamlessly into a lighthouse system despite being inside out tracking while no one expects face from it

Why do people act like lighthouses are a good thing? They're a pain in the ass to set up and motors are unreliable as fuck. Inside out is better in literally every way

Someone wanted to have a quest compatible chill instance so I'm making an impromptu one.

I'll just be working in unity but if any anon wants to come join, I'll dig through all the chill and comfy worlds we avoid during SEA exploration and use it for this one. Will start with small worlds and expand as needed

>pain in the ass to set up
What? No, unless you're gonna drill into your walls or something retarded, then maybe.
>motors are unreliable as fuck
I've had mine on for 6 years straight and they're still working.

Your playspace is always going to be limited to where you can place the lighthouses, and they are a pain in the ass if you don't have very convenient places to put them. Needing to keep 2-3 tripods in your room is a pain in the ass
>I've had mine on for 6 years straight and they're still working.
This means nothing nigger, motors are inherently more unreliable than cameras. For you they worked for 6 years, and you can find countless people whose lighthouses broke after months. That's literally how motors work, they're either going to work for a while or shit the bed after a short amount of time.
>>546232797
>>546233162
Yes, every post that disagrees with you is bait. You should actually have as many external moving parts as possible that make your headset more expensive while offering 0 real world benefit

>>546233467
>motors are inherently more unreliable than cameras
idk anon i have more issues with my cameras than i ever have had with lighthouses

>>546233602
You argue like a woman

>>546232743
I'm dumb this isn't quest compatible lol.

pretty sure people say skybox but i just watch shit in virtual desktop unless you mean 3d porn

>>546217148
not for a while and when we can they will have to be submitted to vrc for review and added to their store

>>546180749
I've never lost it, it's completely a skill issue.

>>546230434
How can you have a no lighthouse melty if you 100% know already there's no lighthouse tracking?

>>546230434
We already know it's not gonna have lighthouse or face tracking.

Its gonna be quest 3 with gaze tracking and special snowflake linux os

>>546234067
And to show it:
1. Use spawn beacons.They let you respawn closer to the objective than the enemy.
1. First point - Hit B first. A is flankable and is easier to take, so you want to take it second. B second is nearly impossible because they're not spread out. Ideally you want to hit A, hit the defuse with a small squad, then send like 8-12 people to B and just clear it out while the entire other team runs to A like idiots.
2. Second - Spawn beacons again. If you have a team that just sits on the helipad and shoots downwards you'll lose. You need to attack.
3. Get spawn beacons up at flanks. B has some containers and buildings you can sneak some on, and A has the back of the miner, drop a recon on there with helis and spawn beacon.
4. Last point is spawn beacon again. Beacons at the rocks are pretty safe, and ziplines can get you to the objective faster than the defenders can get there.

I don't care about lighthouse but I'm finna have a melty if it's only 2k per eye

>>546234485
We already know it's 2k per eye. I don't want it to come out because it'll be good, I want it to come out so it will be over. We already know it's going to be a quest 3 with eye tracking (no FT) and index audio. That's it.

just get a babble for face
you only need eye

>>546234567
No blink.

>>546234551
i know but maybe it's an elaborate joke

>>546234567
The eye tracking is gonna be a special snowlake optical flow sensor running on asic and it will track ONLY gaze direction, no blink, no eyebrows, no eye dillation.

>>546234716
i will actually rope if no full face tracking

>>546234858
Bro it is already confirmed to be eye movemnt ONLY. Buy a quest pro.

>>546234858
Just buy samsung

>>546234898
i have a quest pro, i hate the meta jank

>>546234953
Then samsung xr. These are the only choices. That or rope.

>>546235018
i feel like the samsung looks worse

>>546235063
Nah it's basically a qpro+. Lacks 3rd party stuff though like a better strap

>>546140536

>>546235289
drawfriend showering us with kino.

>>546235063
The jank is much worse atm, you're betting on Google fixing AndroidXR. For example, you know how your phone has a dot at the top to let you know when an app is using your mic/camera? It didn't occur to them that would be annoying as fuck to have in VR so you get the green dot when you're running things like Virtual Desktop.

Hardware wise, the XR is fucking amazing and pretty much everything people want outside of the retarded decisions they made about a fixed headstrap design, but the software isn't there yet because it's the first AndroidXR headset.

What's the current best boxing game
I heard thrill of the fight 2 is out but it sucks ass

>>546235361
if it cost like half as much it'd probably sell like hotcakes

>>546235562
The qpro came out at1.5k, shit's just expensive.

>>546233467
Have you considered not moving your lighthouses around and shaking them like a retarded monkey? Maybe they'd last you longer than a few months that way.

>>546235562
If it came out at half the cost, you'd probably have autists writing custom firmware for it since it has an unsecured bootloader.

>>546235598
yeah true i forgot how much the quest pro actually costs cause it disappeared so fast, i bought a quest 3 on sale and whenever i look at anything newer / better it costs like 2-3x as much and i can't see any reason to bother with the upgrade

>>546232361
None of that is true. They are simply expensive. An extra 100 bux for every tracked object plus 130x2 for lighthouses. That's an entire headset.

>>546235289
Cute! Thank you!

If you ever wanna try running something for your timezone, the server is always up, although I guess higher latency could cause some potential weirdness with collisions.
It's not very resource intensive to run an Assetto server either if you did wanna try setting up your own. Kind of a pain to configure if you don't have the paid version of Content Manager though.

>>546236248
i have pirated content manager and it works fine but i usually race on asia/na servers anyway and its not too bad

>>546234716
but why though?
why would valve let themselves be inferior to a rival product when they could flex on them instead

>>546234567
people who say you only need eye are so retarded.
