I was able to join some friends and play poker last night from the airport. Steam Frame is a game changer. I don't think people quite understand what it can do yet. If VRChat ever decide Linux isn't a swear-word, I would be able to forsake the laptop too.

I see #VRChat / @vrchat.com took the approach of just lying about the Steam Frame. They say 'hardware limitations' prevent the desktop version running. Engineer here: false. It is an ARM PC that runs Linux. Unity supports ARM64 Linux. They just -don't want to spend money porting-.

I have updated the NeonWuff 2 with new clothing! I wanted to try some more animal clothes along with a few requested pieces. Really happy how they came out! These clothes are included in the NeonWuff2 package 1.10 update.

I have no effing idea what to say when someone in Massachussets asks where I'm from. Virginia? California? England? Canada??

Can anyone explain why male furry characters tend to have such visible muscles on their front? I would have thought the fur would obscure most musculature definition, unless they're all short-furred or shaved.

The Amazing Digital Circus finale is going to be free to watch soon and is made by a completely indie company with great ethics. And still people I know in #VRChat pirate it. I am disappointed in you. You know who you are.

I commissioned a fountain, because apparently that's something you can do. If the artist wants to be known they will be, but this is genuinely exciting. Something made with hands.

"Risky," the harlequin Great Dane, arranged a nest of zebra print pillows around herself for a nap on a soft sofa.  In the background is a curios cabinet, a dog drinking fountain, and a distant dining room.

After seeing that a popular fishing world in #VRChat is likely significantly AI slop I am reminded of this feature request: feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requ... I don't see any user-forward reason for them not to implement it if voted up. (A ton of hostile and exploitative reasons not to, though.)

Hasbro sent an anti-consumer arbitration terms change for D&D Beyond, requiring a emailed letter to opt out..  They didn't specify any format so I'll hand-write it and send it as JPG. I also alerted them to a typo in the terms.

My reading of the new ToS of a popular furry site: * You agree not to violate any foreign laws * Chinese law bans outright access to it * Therefore any access is violation of the terms This could then also be against US law that bans encouraging censorship. Who the heck wrote that license?!
