  • Thanks! I'm embarrassingly late on posting the playlist from 2025. I'll get that posted this weekend!

  • The Lemmy VR Community Talks About Stuff

    Jump

  • I’m another person who uses VR mostly for VRChat. I hang with friends, co-host a weekly movie night, and run/maintain The Great Pug. I host large parties for Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day. — If any lemmings would like to join the next event, or the Discord server, hit me up on Discord.

    There’s a thing common to a lot of VRChat users in how they only play VRChat. It’s what VR is.

    I have the original Beyond, and stick to PCVR. It’s where all the cool club spaces are too.

    I also have a Vision Pro. And I use that mainly for watching movies and shows, and socializing with a close friend.

    Right now, I’m looking forward to the day where VR feels less unfinished and janky. It surprises me just how Janky VR still is. And the jank is still present for a wide variety of reasons.

  • VRChat Avatar Marketplace Opens To VR Fashion Designers

    Jump

  • That title is a bit misleading. Unfortunate.

    The whole avatar is sold. Not what it’s wearing. But I guess you could call the whole body fashion too.

    Direct link to the announcement.

  • VRChat is an option. Takes effort to make your way to the cool people tho.

  • How are you organizing your spare cable drawer?

    Jump

  • I have a 5 gallon bucket 3/4 full with just USB cables of all types.

  • It sucks that religion is so fucked up broadly. We should be able to feel this way about all persons in similar positions as her.

  • Voyager feels claustrophobic compared to Eternity, is there a theme that fixes this?

    Jump

  • I think they might just have very different design philosophies, and there isn’t a way to make it look like that.

  • Why have we been cursed like this

  • Because you can use it to show confusion. 😄

  • What are some small but fantastic lemmy communitiees you've stumbled upon?

  • So, Are We Just Agreed That The Hardware Requirements Popup on HL: Alyx Is Just BS Now?

    Jump

  • Yeah, the error seems totally busted. Or it was a broad disclaimer posing as an error.

    Also, I’m sure the overlay works fine for you. But to test what I was explaining properly, you need to overload your vram, and then open it.

  • So, Are We Just Agreed That The Hardware Requirements Popup on HL: Alyx Is Just BS Now?

    Jump

  • I don’t think it was bullshit. When Alyx came out, SteamVR still had substantial issues managing VRAM at times. As a VRChat player, it was very obvious.

    This warning may have been partially related to the SteamVR overlay failing when VRAM is full, when it failed the overlay wouldn’t work. And then there were massive perf issues when returning to the app. All centered around managing VRAM.

    To this day the overlay will fail to come up if VRAM is maxed out or over burdened. But it seems to recover better. So this issue has improved a lot since Alyx came out. At least in my experience.

    Maybe I’m way off. But to sum things up, I don’t think it was bullshit. It was just very cautious and upfront about possible issues.

    It is strange that you are still seeing the message on your new config tho. Might just be a bug. — Maybe it’s reading your integrated graphics VRAM in error? Are you using Link with a Quest? Maybe that config causes it to read things wrong?

  • What was cancelled or discontinued that you wish wasn't or that they brought it back?

    2024.11.26 – The Great Pug - Persistence!

  • Update broke the app entirely

    Jump

  • Sweet. Thanks for the details!

  • The only good thing about 'AI' is that no-one is talking about the fucking metaverse anymore...

    Jump

  • VRChat is still slowly growing in the background.

    The metaverse that was the hype you despise isn’t the metaverse people in VRChat want. Mark really destroyed the term.

  • Update broke the app entirely

    Jump

  • The releases/changelog have been weird for a little while now on the PWA.

    I feared mine would get broken too, but so far I’m ok. I’m on iOS.

    Anyone have insight into why the changelog has been weird? And there was a set of updates that seemed to do nothing recently?

    Edit: going back and viewing the recent releases in GitHub they don’t look “blank” or weird or duplicate like they were… maybe they were all hand fixed? - I stand by the feeling that recently things have been odd. I had the user vote tracking appear in the PWA multiple updates before it showed up in the changelog.
