In this case I actually was able to open up my controller and, somehow, the ribbon connecting the coils got kinked and it's dead. I just don't have the parts to replace it, and I may as well get the sticks replaced too since they're all screwed up too.

Could anything be done about broken finger tracking? I'm pretty sure my old controllers need entirely new sensor panels... Also where do I sign up?

Idk, creatures. I may not be doing so good mentally. Is this depression? I’m just so tired. I miss my mom. I miss having energy. I miss wanting to do anything except sitting in vr and clinging to my friends. I’m so tired.

I love my friends. I just wish I could spend even more time with them. And that i got more than just a phantom sense of them hugging me.

Sometimes I end up at a rave or other event and can just get into the music. but if i’m not with someone i know for too long, I’ll probably slowly go nonverbal and then end up just shutting down vr and going to bed, where I binge whatever YouTube I can to make myself sleep.

Every night I hop into vr with the hopes I can just find a lap to sit in and be held. Usually it’s just a desire, sometimes it’s the only thing I want. But it’s always a major reason for starting VRChat every night.

I haven't done a 6 hour long session in a long time. 100% down to 25% when my trackers decided to die (they just do that now), and then I tried live charging for another hour.

Last night was... A lot. So many events. I think I counted like 8 things happening at the same time which I was interested in ranging from a small birthday party to multiple full on DJ events. I jumped around so much and missed so much. Wish I could have hung around at more of them.

Yippee stream of consciousness that I both didn't think hard enough about and spent too long to think about. Fuck AI. Put your idea to better use. Don't make something literally average. I don't wanna see average. I wanna see fantastic.

Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
And I get more mad when the prompters think they have any more talent than having an idea. They do have the idea. The idea may even be good. But they didn't implement that idea.

Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
I don't get mad when I see "good" AI generated stuff. I get sad, because whoever prompted that AI could have made something so much better themselves if they hadn't thrown the idea into the black box. I get mad when that average slop is held to the same standards as real human made stuff.

Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
Just to go back to the first part of this thread, even if the final product is essentially perfect, that AI has given that same same kind of product to thousands of other people. Your ability is not special. Your idea was special. You squandered it to get a result that's functional, but average.
100
Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
Your idea gets, literally, lost in the slop of ideas that were not yours. And the final product is boring. Soulless. Forgettable. Literally average. Add all the ideas up, divide the result by the number of parts. Average. Bad idea becomes mid, good idea also becomes mid.
100
Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
I'm not even touching on the theft that "taught" those AI models. Even if these models were taught 100% ethically and legally, the ideas they were taught from were not yours. What they output won't have your personal touch. That is what "slop" is. An amalgam of ideas, pushed towards the average.
100
Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
And bad ideas that seemed good at the time are discovered to not be good ideas. And they get reworked in novel ways to be something fantastic. An AI will just carry that bad idea to the end and tell you it's good.
100
Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
A project started with one genuinely good idea would finish with... at most one genuinely good idea, buried under everyone else's idea. Or zero good ideas if the AI got rid of it. I want to see projects with one good idea that, upon iteration, helped find another. And another. And another.
100
Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
Cuz an AI can't have new ideas. *You* can, but you just put your new idea into a box that only has old ideas which "most" people found good. So your idea gets pushed towards what "most" people found, in the past, good. And the spark of genius is lost.
100
Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
Throwing it into an AI prompt gets you the instant dopamine hit. "iterating" on it with the AI gives you some more. And then it's "done". And you move on. And your half baked idea is left to rot because you didn't think about it yourself. An AI averaged it out with whatever it was trained on.
100
Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
You don't spend any real time developing that idea, seeing what works and what doesn't. No, asking the AI to fix something doesn't count. You, nor the AI, actually knows how any of it works. If you're digging into it yourself, you do know how it works. And it can inform your idea.
100
Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
No, prompting doesn't count. Anyone could type that prompt in and have the bot create something. You did no work at all. The original idea? Okay, that might be yours. But you waste it tossing it into the machine.

Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
We want the human connection of using or seeing something someone else made. We want the human connection of making something that someone else is using.

Tessa @techdisk.ca · 25/09/2026
The thing that AI bros don't get is that... We don't care if an AI can do it better and faster. It can't, but... Even if it could. Even if, for real, an AI could output something that was functional, aesthetically good, and secure. We don't want it.

Full disclosure, I was on a yearly vrc+ sub so cancelling it doesn't actually affect me till next april, and there's a chance that vrc will somehow redeem themselves by then and nothing changes for me. But still. It's the principal.

Old SATA SSDs are actually pretty cool on the inside. I know for a fact that a 2 terabyte SATA SSD these days is less than half the size of this PCB. This used to be my boot drive years and years ago.

Isn't asset ripping, stealing, reverse-engineering, or extraction against VRChat's TOS? Why are they promoting work that uses tools that only exist because they did exactly that?

Due to it not finding a home yet, I've put my FE 2026 Alien Sylvin adoptable up on my Ko-Fi to see if that can find it a home eventually! Any future adopts I make I plan on first announcing in my Discord, then if there's no takers, I'll put them up on my Ko-Fi.

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.

Label your shit accordingly. "Well it will just auto-" Shut the fuck up, label it properly. "Hey, you're being anti adu-" Nope. I'm asking you to label your shit properly. "You could just un follow me." 100%. Leave me a comment here so I can do just that.
