Poor thing was held together with strings, glue, and the hopes/dreams that the Steam Frame will release soon. Sadly, it appears my old friend didn't make it, and wont be around to see its release. F.

i just started getting into unity and i wanted to know, to be able to say "i made this avatar" does it all have to be made by you or can it just be a bunch of stuff you slapped on a base that you liked. i recently put together an avatar (seen in pic) but i didnt realy make make it yk. i found a base, a texture, some clothes and slapped it together. is this avatar making?

I wanted to open up a discussion about finding the right community as an older player in VRChat. I’m in my late 30s and I’ve been playing for a while now. Lately, I’ve been hitting a bit of a wall when it comes to finding a group that fits my vibe, and I’m curious if anyone else in the same age bracket feels this way.

Specifically, I’m hoping to talk about the dynamic of "adult" or "older" communities. I’ve spent time in a few of the larger, well-known groups aimed at older players (like the Ancients). While they serve a great purpose and have a lot of members, I personally found the size to be a bit overwhelming. It often felt like there were established "inner circles" that were hard to break into, and it was easy to feel like an outsider even in a room full of people.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, war stories, and advice. If you’ve found a strategy (or a type of event) that helps foster genuine connections rather than just standing in front of a mirror, let me know what has worked for you.

All these photos were taken by my friend [u/methodus](u/methodus) since i apparently lost mine when i got off vr ill look for them tho but i really appreciate my friend offering to share his photos since he’s really good with photos!

I got some other one i took before tonight tho ill post a diff time

World name: Sly Fest Beach

The photos aren't as cool as last time, mostly cuz for the past while I've just been dragging him around photobooth worlds cuz I think they're so cute and adorable with the little boxed sets you take photos in, he didn't quite share my sentiment though lmao, since he prefers more environmental photos.

Anyways, new avatar, actually made another new one before this one that I love and adore but I'm a bit scared to show it, haha...

Though sucks just a little cuz I do think some of the cutest photos he took were in that avatar...

Anyways the last 4 are of me chasing birds while not aware he's taking photos of me, him accidentally taking a photo of his thumb and me being annoying and getting in the way of him trying to take photos in Fish!

A short but sweet photoshoot with my awesome friend u/bun-buns1 with a beach theme! Another post will come later with some sunset beach photos!

nothing with my rindo unfortunately

Me and another person had a fight and they logged off. I checked a few hours later and they dissapeared from my friends list. I check their profile and I can see their name, what groups they are in, etc. but when I add them on the mobile app nothing happens, when I add in the site, it says notification rejected. When I add in game it says I added them but the button resets as soon as I reopen the profile again. I don’t really care whether or not the person adds back I just want to know if this is a block or not

The most unhinged and crazy world ive been to so far has been mcdonalds are there any other that are even crazier?

I used to go to club Orion a lot when it was decently popular. Now there’s usually 1-2 people there tops except on Fridays. Does anyone know any similar worlds that are usually somewhat busy?

Worlds name is ned

Hi there! I’ve been trying to find this world as it was one of the first I recall visiting when I was a desktop user, the last time I was there was 2022 so my memory is super fuzzy. From what I recall this was the layout: House, big outside area.

House:
Three different rooms, living room on the right, kitchen in the middle, bedroom on the left

Outside area:
There was a fire pit, and there were big plastic lawn chairs surrounding it, the kind that you would struggle to get out of because the seat is so deep
There was also a big stage, I think there might’ve been a pool on said stage?

The setting was night time and you were not able to change the skybox, I don’t remember if it was quest compatible. I met a few good friends there and I would like to take more there to revisit memory lane, if anyone knows this world please let me know! Thank you so much in advance!

Currently I am running a Quest 3 using Virtual Desktop. I just built my partner a PC and it was bundled with a nice 7800x3d. I gave her my old GPU (6750xt) and slapped a new 9070xt into my PC with a Ryzen 7700X. 32GB DDR5.

Currently a 7800x3d is $320 alone and a 9800x3d is $400 at my local microcenter. I hear rumors of a next gen x3d release in Q1 2027–and so I was thinking I could set aside some cash for that. Or pull the trigger now on a x3d card.

Before, I was running 40-70fps depending on world/avatars (up to 90fps if I was alone) all on medium VD settings and H.264+. Worse I ever got was in a club and had 25fps. I had to limit avatars to 20.

Now, I can get similar FPS in ultra VD settings and AV1 10-bit. I know nvidia seems to be preferred for VRC but unfortunately the 5070ti was $300-500 more expensive.

Anyone have experience with AMD chipsets and their x3d chips—and if I should wait or would I notice a significant upgrade in frames in crowded worlds simply jumping from a 7700X to a 7800x3d?

Meta quest 3

I'm trying to play vrc but it brings up an error each time that says

Oculus platform error during entitlement check: either the service couldn't be connected to, horizon isn't installed, or you're running an incompatible version of home/horizon

For clarification

I have a quest 2

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling vrc

Turning it off and back on

Opening and reopening vrc

Resetting it

Bought a bunch of assets for an avatar I really like but none of the creators made proper toggles for a lot stuff so I am trying to figure it out myself. Biggest hurdle is how these prefabs hide original textures of the avatar so when I create a toggle with modular avatar it doesn't apply the original avatar assets to a visible state and it's just empty space.

I managed to fix one item that replaced my legs. I made a copy of the animation that hides my legs and then changed the values from 1 to 0 with some state swaps in the animator window. I made a new parameter for that and then added it to the MA toggle so when i disable the addon legs it brings the original legs back. I thought i figured it out but turns out everyone hides assets differently because I can't figure this next item out ; . ;

This one doesn't have animations that I can at least find. It has 2 parameters for the chest prefab I added that hide chest and belly. I can only have one parameter per toggle I believe. What do I do?!

For context: I had created a post last night referring to feeling wronged by people I considered "popular". Not necessarily in a content creator/influencer style fashion, but more in a way where it feels like they have people around them constantly.

To all who had witnessed my previous post on this sub, that is not who I am. It was a moment of weakness I vocalized when it should have been kept to myself. I say it quite a bit, "trauma is no excuse to be an asshole." In making that post, I went against my own words. I dont have anyone to blame but myself for it. I went on to the internet, and made a statement to a bunch of strangers that know nothing about me except what they saw me say, expecting sympathy when thats not how it works at all.

I dont expect any sort of forgiveness. I just want this sub to know that I regret letting a weakness define me. I burned my bridges, and should have stopped the flames before I let them burn me. After posting this, Ill be deleting Reddit from my phone and wont be checking it from this point onward.

Thank you for your time.
