I guess I just showed my age when I make a Spongebob reference.

I would give #FuralityUltra a higher rating had it not been for my Linux distro causing the fireworks display to not work. Other than that, I did enjoy this year's Furality. Still not as impressive as Somna, but still a great event to remember.

Likely placeholders and they can change things up if needed. The meetups seem more tailored towards furry species & general hobbies. There is the BIPOC meetup though. Might have been limited slots. Furries do have A LOT of species variety though... and a lot of hobbies.

When you have to explain to chat that 2006 was 20 years ago when your virtual furry convention will be themed after RETRO gaming and chat is realizing now that the Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 3 are now all considered "RETRO". #furality #vrchat

Trolls today in VRChat don't know how it was like to be trolled in the 90's. It was a different time back then. Put the two in the same room together and one will think the other has gone soft.

I decided to keep the texture nodes simple and easy to follow. #avali

The texture nodes on the Rusty version are stupidly complex so I kept the texture nodes for the Aerogel version pretty simple and works with layers inside Blender.

Avatar Work In Progress Still need to do blendshapes and toggles. So far already Quest compatible and the performance rating is Medium on PC with less than 20,000 Triangles. Avatar download size is less than 0.5MB. But that is due to lack of textures, which will be worked on soon. #avali

Me looking around for anyone who can pick up and smooch this Avali. *might need a crane*

Work In Progress My first from-scratch avatar I made. Working Name: Maken'A'vali (suggested by someone in the Avalikin Tribe Discord) Copyright: Ryuujinzero owns the traditional Avali framework we all have come to know and love ^w^ and is the inspiration for many Avali types including this one.

I imagine it would difficult given the ABC Warrior from Judge Dredd is like 80% tubing XD

Shrunk the head a little bit and finished the tubing. Now for the annoying part. Rigging and weight painting. #avali

I am already drawing a rough sketch of my first custom avali. I plan to model this in Blender. I never modeled an avatar before. Only Blender experience is world making and avatar texturing. Unity experience limited to world making and avatar kit bashing. I've gone insane. #avali #avalikin

I tried to see if I can check that my information with Persona has been deleted. Since VRChat is their customer, I have to handle such inquiries directly with them instead. So I could only assume that my personal information truly was deleted since that's what VRChat claims.

Unfortunately, this new trend will result in me changing the thumbnail for one of my worlds. It is NOT AI generated, but it is an abstract-enough image from an old EVE Online chronicle that people might mistake it for AI. Source: universe.eveonline.com/chronicles/t...

Looks like the Warbarge world works on Android. I wonder if it's only bugged on the PC version. If you can visit the world on PC, let me know. I wasn't able to. It will still get reworked regardless.

Maken Tosch @makentosch.com · 07/12/2025

These two worlds have the mesh. The Dust 514 Warbarge world is bugged at the moment. I figured I should take the opportunity to optimize it and start over with a clean project while I'm at it. The Ishukone world is working fine at least.
