I don't think I've had anyone so quickly convince me to stop giving them money. They're going hard on boosting & using slop while quietly ignoring the demands for at least labelling AI generated content. At this point only staying on this platform because thats where my friends live.

And I still just noticed that I still haven't fixed the seams on the baedyr's hair on the merged UVs .-.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Specifically I've merged LunarArray's Goobastera ears(after editing them), Javenchi's Baedyr hair & Kioi's lumi paws to the base model, removed everything I don't use, bought and setup Gl1tchey's Onesie and adapted it to the pawbs(weight painting pending) plus doing recolors/masks in paint . net.

Me: There's going to be a new lumistera I should probably pause work on it for now. ..I've spent probably 24 full hours kitbashing, editing meshes, fitting clothes to other meshes, recoloring & abusing unity since having that thought.

...even when posting on social media so I tend to not engage, but I love your art style & it makes me happy whenever I see it. I hope you feel better and things get better for you.

Your VRChat avatars(mainly the Dromeowyrm) have changed how I interact with the game and have been my primary inspiration to practice more 3D modelling. I've not moved past edits, but working on & using the silly wyrm makes my days better. I also love seeing your art. My social anxiety hits hard...

We're so fortunate to have such a lovely cat and being surrounded by the cutest invasion of animals I've ever seen.

010

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I do not even bother looking at cute animal videos anymore. It was already bad enough with how much work people would put in to force/fake a situation for a tiny bit of clout from a video, but now the door is wide open and it's like any time I let my guard down and watch one, oops all AI.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I just discovered that you can do a temporary pose in blender and weight paint while in that pose to watch the deformation in real time! This makes me not totally loathe weight painting now!

I don't know how I replied to this specific part >.>

I am so happy to be able to launch my browser and have these words be the first things I read.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

God I love having a deep conversation with someone only for Telegram to chim in and offer to make it all fake and have a computer think & feel for me. I loathe public speaking and writing official paperwork, but I'll do it myself a thousand times before I let a computer pretend to be me.

Far from the first program I've binned* If I can move on from xfire & skype.. discord is no different other than the amount of folks that thought it was a good idea to condense their entire life's works into one chat program not made for anywhere near what it's being used for.

030

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Well with the upcoming discord change I'm downloading what I need from discord-only sources then preparing to nuke everything I have discord related. Hoping for the last second "haha jk" policy change, but it's by far the first program I've binned and I have other means of contacting friends.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Working through a problem gives you insight that may help fix similar issues in the future. Having a machine to fill in answers that are probably correct leaves you high and dry when that tool isn't available or causes further issues. I wish more people would realize this.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Wasn't sure about it at first, but I've really been digging it the more I wear it

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

I guess my dromeowyrm also counts? Darn.

I told myself I'd never wear pink.

Adding MMD to more avatars and just dealing with the horrors of blendshapes defaulting to 1 when created in Blender 5.0.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

I can't believe you've done this.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

I'm indecisive and can never decide on one design.. I may have also had one for a while.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

God, got hit with this last night and what a wild 5 years its been. Met my wife and many, many good people. Learned Unity, relearned Blender(previously used 2.x in school) & paintdotnet for avatar work. VRChat has helped me through some tough times by keeping me in contact with so many good friends.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

I'm glad I get to share this and many more christmases to come.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

So I spent an hour trying to figure out why an animation had the wrong path, but wasn't broken until I tried to fix it which broke it... but ctrl+z continued to have it broken because I previously changed it to work in the editor.. which didn't update the file! AAAA!

010

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Today I learned that Unity does not update files that need changed in a project(Sometimes?) until some point later, but will immediately update the project if a file is changed at any point by an outside program...

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

Should also add here that this is me angry about the battery being dumb and not the adapter Reweth made. It works wonderfuly and I'm very thankful she made it so I don't have to do insane things with a broken AC cable. It also has a belt clip that allows me to remove the stress on the cables.

010

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

It's been the best out of the box facetracking I could find that "just works" with minimal tinkering, but everything else has just been AAAA.. thinking of maybe going back to stream cable, but fighting with the vive space calibrator & playspace setup again have me unsure..just gonna end my rant here

000

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

...better when plugged directly into the headset and do not require constant calibration like they did when plugged into my PC or laptop. Just getting frusturated with this setup of everything almost being good, but I run into one more glaring problem.

100

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

...I want to now do work on the strap to give it extra ventilation to prevent the overheating issues, but Reweth has suggested trying ice packs first before I go full frankenstein on it. A new streaming cable is an option, but the Vive Ultimate Tracker dongle is there now and they seem to work...

100

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

...And now I have this wonderful piece of improvised charging equipment(thanks to my wonderful wife Reweth making it) and I'm now dealing with the overheating issues because the battery will ALWAYS charge even at 100% when plugged in so it will discharge and recharge until it refuses to charge...

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

..the time the Index tether lasted(died at about 1K hours vs just around 3K for the Index cable) despite similar prices(double if you want the Display Port addon). I've since switched to wireless, but the AC cable quickly went bad too despite using it only when sitting(or standing to calibrate)...

110

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

Quickly discovering how much of an afterthought PCVR is with the Vive Focus Vision. Been trying to come up with ways to avoid having to buy multiple batteries and doing hot swaps for "extended" (i.e. normal PCVR use). The streaming cable provides power, but went bad after roughly 1/3rd...(cont.)

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Not only can I not decide on a single avatar in VRChat I can't decide on a single color for the avatars. With VRC detecting mat swaps for texture memory I've started taking off my toggles and just doing different uploads and... some of my scenes are starting to look silly.

A dromeowyrm, a dromeowyrm, a dromeowyrm, a dromeowyrm, a dromeowyrm & a dromeowyrm in a unity scene.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

OHHH that makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking at first!

010

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

The best way to avoid getting new avatars for me is to remember that if I do get one I won't use it much until I add everything for FT & MMD.

010

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

Exploring ways to fix a smile that's too big for the teeth in the mouth. I could.. change each involved blendshape to be more sane, move the teeth around, make sure the inside of the mouth doesn't move with the lips... or I could just make the teeth longer and not care about the nightmares.

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

I just used uBlock Origin's element selector on Firefox to nuke the parts of the page with the AI suggestions on Google & it seems to still load the page fine. I did the same to Youtube Shorts & Fandom wiki pages. It's satisfying like peeling the sheen protector off a new purchase.

010

Riimri @riimri.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I've added MMD to so many models that I have it down to a routine. Facetracking & viseme blendshapes make things a ton easier, but I think this is the fourth time adding it to the Chipori. It's something I'm excited to do, but it's a bit draining to redo work. I'll still do it for my funny dances.
