I'm happy that I decided to take a break my self around a month ago. Seeing all these AI generated / vibe coded projects gain so much traction as of recent has demotivated me even more...

Hello! Due to VRChat's recent issues revolving around Generative AI, I will be taking a step back from public world and game creation until they decide to acknowledge and address this issue plaguing the platform.

I will not be creating for a platform that both uses and promotes AI generated content. #VRChat please join me in placing this poster in your worlds. share it and edit it freely, spread it as far as you can. nothing is going to change if we don't put our foot down now. vrc.group/NOAI.3843

Seeing so many vibe coded projects everywhere has kinda made me lose motivation to do programming... I did / do programming because, well... I like to program, solve these problems and build something cool where I can say that "I did that". Every time I see some vibe (1/3)

Website design looking like typical AI generated one, featuring AI generated world. Is this VRChat's official plan for the future to dump the human creativity this platform was built upon?

Probably still a bit, since you still have the entire OS running on it, as well as all the cameras for tracking and maybe also software like babble so that it doesn’t have to run on your PC.

Urgh Great… thanks for letting me know :/ I used a website to split my post up into multiple to create a thread, seems like that might have caused an issue…

I mean nothing stops them from also making a Virtual Desktop client for Steam Frame. Considering valves link system was build specifically for this headset and everyone says that it’s working great I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

I've spent my entire evening yesterday watching 4h+ of Steam Frame reviews. Here are the ones I most recommend watching and why! 1. Adam Savage’s Tested youtube.com/watch?v=C9JyWA… They gave a very detailed overview and review of the Steam Frame’s hardware (1/4)

Yeah that... trying to build a complicated and modular system around that has been not so fun tbh...

DrBlackRat @drblackrat.xyz · 11/09/2026

Also, don't get me wrong, working on small scripts here and there, as well as actually setting up a UI for a world, is still totally fine... I just don't really have the energy right now to work on big or modular tools...

DrBlackRat @drblackrat.xyz · 11/09/2026

Here is an example, the main thing I'm constantly running into right now is stuff like this: I have script A and script B, where script B inherits from script A because it extends it or adds some extra functionality. Now let's say I want script B to also use my secure (1/3)

I'm kind of getting burned out from working on tools for Worlds at this point... I've been waiting for VRChat to release Soba for so long now, since I wanted to use it and the functionality it adds to refactor my UI system and all my other projects to work better together (1/6)

You usually don’t need this for everything, it’s essentially made for everything that needs security. We have been using this in the Furry Hideout for the past few months for all of our permissions and staff settings for example.

DrBlackRat @drblackrat.xyz · 31/08/2026

I liked it! I think some guide / tutorial on how to open it would be nice, but in general it was easy to open once understood how to and I don’t think I ever opened it by accident ^^

DrBlackRat @drblackrat.xyz · 30/08/2026

Btw this could also quite easily be used in conjunction with something like VRCLinking, DisBridge or @texel.bsky.social's AccessTXL! If there is enough interest in this I can look into providing example setups. ^^

DrBlackRat @drblackrat.xyz · 30/08/2026

My VRChat Secure Networking System is now available! It's a custom networking system that validates network event senders to prevent unauthorized players from modifying synced data. Previously part of Modern UIs, but it's now available as a standalone MIT-licensed package!

DrBlackRat @drblackrat.xyz · 28/08/2026

I'm working on releasing my Secure Networking as its own standalone package under the MIT License! To use it, all you will need to do is inherit from "SecureNetworkBehaviour", implement its methods, and connect a Secure Networking instance to it.

I decided to try out a style of "Operating System" -like menu panels in VRChat. They work great, and I have a few ideas for it, though I'm curious to see what people think!
