It's kinda crazy that in 2025 there are only 3 teams in F1 who've not had a podium, and 2 of those teams are Aston Martin and Alpine.

Someone in a Nazi uniform, saying "It's not a nazi uniform, and it's woke and also snowflake to say it is" really is like saying "My fingerprints aren't on the gun used in the murder, and if they were they would look like this" before proceeding to pick it up and aim it directly at your head

Hey @jinglejam.co.uk One of your big names on the line up is on stream in a Nazi inspired outfit, complaining about woke Idealogy and calling people snowflakes for being upset at that. You might want to rethink this.

Next time you're flying, I want you to think about how crammed in you are compared to the fancy business class booths. Then, imagine you're so disconnected from society that business class is "slumming it" to the point you need a private jet. No-one should be that wealthy, period.

I really think it's telling that Labour acts like it's brave and bold when it asks billionaires for tax on the private jets, but doesn't even consider the inherent inequality that allows them to own private jets in the first place

I'm fairly certain he either has a fetish for specifically transfems which he's viscously covering up, or someone told him in 2008 that 'that one episode of the IT Crowd' wasn't funny and he's spent nearly 20 years digging his heels in like a child after being told that it was fucked up and bad.

[This is what he regards as a balanced response to people he exclusively views in a sexual light wanting to do things like "play sports" and "urinate"]

Ughhhhh I really don't want to use an app, I hate needing a million apps. Is it atleast a desktop application? I'm really not gonna install shit to my phone.

I need to ask for help. For the last few days I've been unable to get around due to a ton of pain in my foot. Even getting to the bathroom is hard. Unfortunately I'm out of some basic food stuff and getting it delivered to my door costs more money than I have because fees and minimum delivery cost.

Often i'll have to scroll ages through someone's feed until I see something like "NEW DROP AT [TIME] PST" just to find out if someone is US based. It's not even wanting to buy "local" I just don't wanna be lumped with import tax.

It'd be really pog if independent/fandom crafters of physical goods could say where they were based, especially if they have a website. In a world with tariffs, import fees and expensive shipping, it's really nice knowing if I'm going to have to add ~20% to the listed price to get it in my hands.

I just made a thread about how the experience went if you're interested! It was eye-opening. It's constantly getting better but it's not there yet to become my default. It does however have great potential, including something which reset my brain last night in a way that I think you'll like ☺️

Closing:
Since last year, the perf has gotten way better, but it's still unintuitive af to get started. I can do steep learning curves but this is a wall. Even as a nerd with a thinkpad running arch I feel out of my depth, god help my friends.

It'll get there, but for now I'll stay a tourist [End]

I feel weird that randos can fuck with my avi. I likely disabled some security but it's wild that I could go AFK & come back to a vore system on me.

Make the "remember me" feature longer than a month.

I need a way of seeing friend activity from web. I'm not booting unless I know folks are on [10]

Basic stuff like Personal Mirror & Camera are missing, needing to be homebrewed in. The Homebrew mirror is great (Better than VRC's!) but my friend had to share an asset/teach me how to put it on my menu.

Spawning clonable assets is great but omg it leaves clutter when folks don't delete them. [9]

Negative:
I >NEED< a toggle between "World Editing" & "Interacting". A Misclick is the difference between drawing on a whiteboard & moving the whole thing. It sets off an "oh god what the fuck am I doing" spiral.

Graphically it looks really flat.

FBT can be super jank.

The keyboard sucks. [8]

The game feels eager to "show off", which is great, but sometimes I'd like to grab a marker and have it act like a marker, not drawing 3D ivy or some shit.

Oh god is it quiet. Last night, Steam had 35k players on VRChat, Resonite had 175. Not its fault, but notable on a social platform. [7]

Tweaking at will can be detrimental to a vibe. It's like a modded car on a scenic road with an open laptop livetuning the ECU. At some point you've gotta stop thinking about fuel tables & start enjoying the drive. The line in the sand between 'editing' & 'using' lets you "worry about it later". [6]

Mixed:
The UI is drastically different to VRC. I'm not bad & VRC's isn't perfect, but if you're familiar with VRC the muscle memory is a PITA.

Most folks who're eager to help generally seem to mean "doing it for you". I appreciate getting started but at some point I've gotta learn this shit. [5]

Editing is all in engine. You can make changes on the fly. No back and forth between Unity and VR, you can tweak and tune at any given point *

Invites persist. If you are invited to a world, but need to duck out, or you crash, you can come back with the same invite

(* I'll come back to this) [4]

The performance is now pretty good, you can have many avatars with complex systems in a world, equivalent to or even beating VRC

There's a truly unique culture, and the community are SO friendly & helpful

You have so much freedom. If you want to fly then that's a you thing, not a world thing [3]

Positive:
Avatar interaction is so verbose. Other players can resize you & pick you up, give you props/systems to use or wear, even installing them & tweaking your avatar

Your namebadge isn't just a username, you can reposition & resize, have your own font/colour, show pride & interest badges [2]

After last night it was great to have another look at how Resonite is looking. I'm still not sure I can daily drive it, but it was great to have a play on. The potential is really there to be awesome, but the usability needs huge improvements. I'm gonna do a little thread to collect some thoughts 🧵

Like, this shouldn't be hard. Epic aren't exactly cash strapped right now, but oopsie woopsie we just declared that an AMD system file is 1337 HAXX0RZ so fuck me I guess.

Man, Epic really fucking suck.

Whatever, time for my token "How is Resonite doing these days?" I guess

Ah yes, finally set up an avatar project, jump into VR to test it...

Aaand EasyAntiCheat is broken so I can't log in. Classic.

This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't having issues only a couple of days ago with EAC on Star Citizen not supporting ONE OF THE TWO FUCKING DEDICATED GPU MANUFACTURERS

10 Years! 💚

Hell, maybe ask why the mere concept of creativity wasn't accessible to you as a low-income family. Ask why there were no government funded programs or spaces. Healthy countries foster arts & culture development schemes. They cost a lot less than the billions shovelled into the plagiarism machine.

Not to "Back in my day" too hard but 2006 was the peak of Myspace Music. You didn't need a good recording setup, you just needed ideas. You could've recorded an EP on a webcam mic & been noticed.

But sure, AI. You can be a robotic cover musician playing "everything soup made of other peoples work"

The Streisand Effect sure does got hands xD
