re: VR screenshot, eye-contact, synth
That thing where you spend time just staring at your reflection in VR, focusing on that image being your body, the feeling you'd expect and that imagery being overlaid on you, how you can see it match your movements... ... all until that feels like it's you.
... you know I'm all for transhumanism but mostly for no longer being human.
Surely the word "transhumanism" is about "expanding the definition and concept of what it means to be human".
I don't want that. I want to be a wolf.
... has someone made one of those character/avatar generators for neoprene otters yet?
Aligning my markings on an anthro posture for a VR reference is hard, and is clearly evidence of the superiority of feral.
VR antics, reflection
I now have the extra trackers I ordered, so that means full-body tracking~.
... I also tried some of other avatars I had to varying degrees of success. Guilmon's right hip and neck were broken, Renamon's too, and being feral is just hard to co-ordinate.
The continued lack of furries in sci-fi futurism demonstrates the complete detachment of writers from transhumanist reality.

The solution to defeating Twitter is to post endless nonsense and incomprehensible non-sequiturs that make it impossible for strangers to form sociopolitical images of you that they might eventually use as cudgels for their own aggrandisation.

WISH I COULD JUST DRAW MYSELF HOW I WANT AND BE THAT IN MEATSPACE
PAINT OVER MY BODY AND TEAR FREE AS A BEAST OF CREATION
I need an Amaterasu VR chat avatar alreadyyyy...
I have a rough t-pose ref done, I just need someone to commission... or possibly refine the sketch some more, but I'm not sure how to represent my tufts and swirls at certain angles.
Man trying to find a good phone client for Mastodon is still very hard.
Or I'm just very picky about UI/UX design.
... and then we have the Amaterasu avatar where the camera isn't tied to the body. Nor is anything else. I can't even use calibration mode! It's probably just an old avatar version, but it's rather disheartening because there's a lot (name pokemon) in this state.
"Those don't seem that bad!" You say, well the Vulpix has a smoke-weed gag, a Wolf Link avatar went all Source Film Maker'd by twisting its geometry, and that Spyro was... glitchy.
Unfortunately, VRChat doesn't lend itself to feral very well. Or the avatars that exist that I've found just aren't very good.
It doesn't help a bunch are full of gimmicky gestures which I keep goddamn triggering because of the Vive trackpads. They're a pain because they're hard to stop too.
VRChat has a few places I wanna just live in.
Especially if I get to be a cute non-human shape.
