iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

+1, fluxer really does look like Yet Another Discord with the sole purpose of capitalizing off of Discord's failures (among some other issues i have with the platform,) i'm much more interested in Stoat or a Matrix based platform or... just go back to IRC tbh

i've been on and off tinkering with Resonite for quite a while, and i'm very happy to use this as more motivation to keep learning the platform; much love to the community (:

need a breather away from AI slop for a bit? chill and learn the basics of any other VR social platform. headset not required.

hi @vrchat.com your canny looks like this, please at least get around to properly commenting on it. it's been months.

A screenshot of the current trending posts on VRChat's feedback board. Every single one of the top 5 posts is complaining about AI content on VRChat in some way.

with a little tweaking, it's pretty common for vrchat to be as stable if not more stable on linux minus some very minor hiccups (i.e. nvidia drivers)

this is, in fact, one of the best things ever

latest releases of proton-rtsp (github@SpookySkeletons/proton-ge-rtsp) have been pretty much as stable as native windows

mintea @mintea.pw · 23/06/2026

- aesthetics (world/environment/audio) - genre - lack of screenspace fx perhaps i am an outlier as i don't do much social interaction; also doesn't have to be a Concrete-style experience as much as i enjoy getting lost in raw feeling & artistic presence of the world itself via music/genre i enjoy

this need more breakcore/experimental/glitch/abstract stuff that i don't feel bad for playing because it's so far left field of previous/next sets even when it's open genre

You know executing someone in the back of the head when subdued is considered a war crime. And this is normalized against our own? Zoom out, and breathe that in.

the steam audio source component's 'directionality' toggle works and has since the beta; the extended featureset (reflections, occlusion, raytracing, etc.) have not been implemented yet

before you go on social media complaining about a world in vrchat, consider the fact that you probably don't a single thing about the amount of work and dedication it takes to build one. its ungrateful people in this game that kill the drive to create new experiences in this game.

world devs can grab the official Unitypackage for Steam Audio and some parts of that component have been verified working in-game (directionality, the big one) + the steam audio beta ofc

This frustrates me Shelter implements 3D audio really well but gets shot down regardless because its not 2D. Devs from several world projects are trying to implement good audio upmixer solutions and the results are fantastic. Overall dont tell people to not use 3d, let people learn and build

i'm no audio engineer and have literally no formal experience in the field, but it does come a lot down to vrc's defaults and the horrible vrcspatialaudiosource on top of bad reverb/settings tl;dr not enough knowledge or discussion happens rn on it to matter imo

120

mintea @mintea.pw · 07/09/2025

don't think audio has had enough 'experimentation' in this space outside of projs like arc and stir and most haven't taken the time to fully study how it should work over 'it should *just* work' - lack of knowledge and improper usage are killing chances of really good implementations

been messing with some implementations of a mid-side setup with some new stir features, quite an interesting setup (and i see the appeal, now)

egad, they put [echo] in my [spacious area]

042

it fluctuates between 25mb/s and 2mb/s, the dsl connection here is... "strong" even on good days (+15mb/s) a couple months ago, rtspt was having some major issues in regards to audio artifacts on many 5.1 streams, but it's nice to see somehow it's mostly resolved :p

100

noted, i am experiencing some minor blips but nothing near as bad as it was a few months ago, and it's more than likely my 2mbps upload speed... lol i'll keep testing setups and documenting what i can. anything more impactful, i'll bring it up in discord thx for the recs (:

i follow the same OBS setup provided from the wiki, only change is setting track-1's bitrate to 800 within the output > audio tab using rtspt, it tends to be wildly unstable where mpegts is fine i'll see if i can grab some proper examples later and throw em in the discord srv, if that helps

210

i primarily noted this issue over vrcdn with track-specific bitrates over 320, otherwise rtspt was stable pretty sure this was brought up once or twice in discord (not by me) regarding using arc and experiencing the same

it should be noted that RTSPT is probably not a good choice for low latency 5.1, and MPEG-TS is very recommended when using VRCDN to mitigate a lot of the glitchiness when streaming 5.1

you've got the idea, essentially if we can't have audio filters in Unity, we've gotta do them in pre-processing the stream running an entire DAW just for this is kinda overkill, so STIR is a very lightweight OBS implementation
