Twitch streamer, programmer, nerd. Not necessarily in that order.

I'd like to apologize for being a weird person. But I'm not sorry.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

I too am on the other site. I fully anticipate being as nearly silent there as I am here, but hey!

Through the magic of vaguely consistent branding, I am findable to those who wish it.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

@HatKidWasTaken Without you, I wouldn't have met all the amazing people in my life today. You've more than made your mark on me too. Love you Hat.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

If you have people in your life who you appreciate, and you haven't told them that in the last 90 days, stop scrolling and go do that right now.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

I sometimes feel like I kinda have my shit together. And then I'll do something stupid like putting my glasses on upside-down and it's a FIRM reminder that I very much do not. I've been wearing you for more than half my life. How has this only happened now?!

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

@GloriousArcadum YOU ruined YOUR OWN life by being a sexual predator and hurting dozens of women. Cut the bullshit, cretin.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

@Sugiecoated You are a kind, genuine, lovely person Sugie. Just because you're not perfect all the time or have bad days or find yourself in a bad mood sometimes doesn't change that. Other people being shitty doesn't change that either. Just keep being yourself, that's all you need to be.

Anxiety: Something’s wrong

Me: What???

Anxiety: Vibes are off.

Me: …???

Anxiety: Something’s wrong and you should feel worried and alone

Me: But WHAT is wrong

Anxiety: Something 🤗

Me: Ok but idk what I’m supposed to do if you won’t tell me what’s—

Anxiety: ✨something✨

@Flint_Locke Oh really? So none of those cosplay outfits sparked joy?

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

I'd rather stay asleep a little longer sometimes, brain. We don't ALWAYS need to wake up before noon. I'd like a solid 12 hours once in a while.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

@MhaiWind Out of curiosity, how would you feel if they dropped the free tier entirely?

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

@HatKidWasTaken I'm putting caltrops in your parking spot.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

Finally, we have reached the weather where it is sufficiently chilly for me to be able to wear my shawls and cardigans at all times.

Balance is restored to the universe once more.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

To everyone who says "I wish I could do model work" or similar, I want to emphasize that MOST of us in VRC are self-taught.

Get a basic avatar prefab. Then pick one thing to change. Figure out JUST THE ONE THING. It'll be hard and frustrating, but then you pick the next thing.

[Now FlintLocke.BSky.Social, find me there! @Flint_Locke]

Dear friends, just a note. If you send me a DM, please never say anything that could be interpreted like I did something we need to talk about and then immediately get offline so I can't get context (even if it's actually a joke/something silly). That's an instant anxiety spike.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

@VRChat VRChat's premium service has now been updated with exciting new features! We've released...
*checks notes*
Basic, bare-bones subscription features that should have been in at launch more than 2.5 years ago.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

Another thing here, keep in mind that while your effects look minor from the outside, that's usually within the context of the fact that you often just shoved it into someone's face and it's now their entire screen.

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

This 100%. I've had to step away to throw up because of screen shake before, and even distortion can be very troublesome when overused like it almost always is. Stop it. If the only way you can make your character impressive is to fuck up my vision, go back to the drawing board.

[🥽 NinePsi 💻💿 @NinePsiVR]

🍎I have a bunch of thoughts regarding the use of screenspace effects.

For the sake of your own ability to RP and everyone else’s ability to RP-
🛑STOP using screenspace shaders.

❓Why? Heres my arguments against screenspace.

@HatKidWasTaken Is this why you asked me to call you a successful businessman?

[AvaneraTV @AvaneraTV]

@MhaiWind Look, those college juniors worked HARD on their weekend hackathon project. That's what this is, right? Sure looks like it.
