Experimenting even more with the #VRChat material contacts. Made some lightning arcs that go between your fingers and other avatars! (Thank you @fivesva.bsky.social for helping me show this off!)

Be sure to fill out the form at the end of this post to add your thoughts about the presence of AI in VRChat.

VRChat world exploring is both an everyday activity for me; as well my fallback option for when there wasn't folks on/events going. The AI slop wave has severely discouraged me from logging in, it's such a mess out there... The silence from VRC itself is even more discouraging...

Moonchaser was a lot of fun! Felt like a mix between a rave and a celebration of the people in the scene. Wonder what @vrchat.com does with it next! :3 I'd love to see info panels that display where a DJ/VJ plays often, links to their groups/other events and more information about them!

Thank you Big Walk. The people around you are what makes life so special. 💜 Grab some folks and play through this game, it's truly one of the best of the past decade.

Was wondering why my mic was sounding... all sorts of weird today. This was it. These are default on in the latest W11 update. System -> Sound -> Properties (click on your mic's name)

LEUCiS@leucis.vrc.dj

So apparently Windows11 has now forced an update that uses AI to filter background noise out of your mic??? Make sure y'all do a soundcheck before perfoming tonight. It can be turned off in the audio device properties under advanced. The setting is called "signal boost" in the german version.

Wake up at 7am, gear up, answer the payphone, take the elevator up, make a left... it's still 2020... time for Ghost Club. Just a whisper... I hear it in my ghost This place means so much to me. #GhostClub Bon Festival 2026

If you have a Twitch account, they added Gen AI Training that is default on. Go to your settings -> Security and Privacy, to turn it off.

Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...

Ratpunk & SonicFox got lectured to on the etymology of their own culture + were threatened to be banned/kicked from a club last weekend Even in our queer/furry spaces, having a diverse staff + that the rest are trained in topics of diversity is important Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-14...

i experienced racism at a furry club #vrchat (with @sonicfox.bsky.social )

@switchangel.bsky.social + LO.FI.SCI.FI talked about their histories, live coding, creating better, ethical future projects + our collective connections. "Does it promote justice? Does it restore reciprocity? Does it confer divisible or indivisible benefits? ... Does it favor people over machines?"

Eyo?? Is that Kaleidosky up on the screen at Figma Config 2026??? Omg thank you @switchangel.bsky.social ! "Exploring creative tech communities that are driven by passion, connection, and persistent curiosity" Wow that is a great summation of alot of VRC tbh 🫶🐰 youtu.be/eCwkq10Sd3I?...

During the Q&A at Raindance, we learned more about the 6 year journey, changes along the way, efforts made to optimize and what the future holds. It's was crafted with a desire to show an aspirational, positive future; free of dystopian tropes. Part 2 is in the works and coming in a year or two~

Chant of Ripples, by the #RhythmicRoot Team was a dance performance for Raindance that was lifted high by angelic vocals, Buddhist chant, djembe drum & DJ set. Invoking rainmaking ceremonies; blending ritual, meditation + dance to bring the audience to be at one with their bodies & nature~ #VRChat

Shout out to the team that made it possible, it's always a joy to see their performances every year! Djembe drums: Maru-17 Vocals: Az Buddhist chant/Vocals: 桃山れんか DJ: Favisama World Creator: Ambii Dancers: Hilogenome EnderYear えんだー Lu-nyan Yamagoo きゃらめる_Caramel

Our empathy for one another makes us stronger. Each and every moment, each connection is important. Together we can make it through and thrive.

UN_COMFORTABLE.EXE by @jaimens.com, @eviltoaster.bsky.social, @lesse.bsky.social + Spurg was a inspirational performance through music, poetry & dance. By confronting expectations, ego + fear; through vulnerability, lifting each other up and loving ourselves, we can have peace within. #VRChat

Trippy Dreams by libellule86 is an audio-reactive world beautifully created in Open Brush. 20+ uniquely user controlled scenes + immersive visuals. In a 2 hour experience for Raindance called The Odyssey, DJed by pl0v, we went on a journey through all the art pieces w/ accompanying music #VRChat

Love is the Groove was an ecstatic dance event for Raindance Immersive 2026. It was held in ICON, by @djsnowwolf.bsky.social, a recreation of the nightclub "The Saint" that was a safe place for gay and queer folk in New York City in the '80s; complete with star projector and DMX lighting. #vrchat

Break #25: Sinto Feliz is the latest phantasmagoria experience created by @pkpkpk.bsky.social, debuting at Raindance Immersive 2026. Using a selection of shaders and DJing, PK took us on a colorful journey across several dream-like landscapes focusing on the concept of joy and happiness~ #vrchat

"Latent" featuring Geppaku Lui is a musical performance in @vrchat.com that explores perception through dance, vocals + particle show from the MIGIRI Inc team; including Takaomi + Task Watanabe. A heart monitor was used to affect the avatar's visuals + particles. Shown at Raindance Immersive 2026!

Furality is something I look forward to every year. Times to connect with those from the past, cherish friends + meet new ones along the way~ Every lobby was filled with the kindest people around. Ultra was no different. Much love to everyone I met. 💜🏳️‍🌈 Send love to those who made yours special~ 💕
