VRChat and thoughts on social gatherings/fatigue
I wanna hang out with friends more in VRChat...
... but preferably just... casual chill places. Like, I don't really wanna go to a virtual furcon? Or populated discos? I went to a furcon a few times because I had otherwise not met other furries in person, and it gave me greater opportunity to wear my suit.
But with VR, I can "wear a suit" as it were even with smaller gatherings. A furcon looses its specific function for me, for the most part.
It's also physically tiring standing around in VR. It ironically makes finding a calm escape to rest harder in VR than it would be in an IRL furcon/dance event. (Of course I can simply leave the world or take off the headset, but I'm talking in terms of within a specific virtual space.)
I've found enjoyment in merely losing myself in the idea of being who/what I am with other weirdos, without there needing to be a greater purpose. Be it dancing, gaming, or whatever. Though I naturally understand "just vibing" can only go so far.
Perhaps I simply want more mellow activities. It's just a little hard to find such things sometimes unless you try searching for something specific...
re: VR selfies, identity euphoria
I'm cute...
Spending that time in VR tonight looking at my reflection, I almost felt like crying...? Just... gazing in and taking in the idea I'm looking at my actual self, my body, a toy full of cosmos...
I recently streamed My RPG: Watashi no RPG!! to a friend, and through that noticed a handful of things that needed fixing, including a major game-stopping bug, so I've decided to go ahead and update the current demo!
happy trans day to my queer allegory game

I guess this picture's feeling is cropping up for some reason~.
VR development pining
god can we get VR tracking that adapts for feral...
Like some sort of full-body tracking that attempts to guess what kind of pose you're making for a feral posture. Standing up will still be biped, but crouched sitting, laying on your belly, things like that, would be adapted into more feral poses instead of weird polygon folding.
Just thinking about being a giant feral dragon that's looking down upon my small friends, for, reasons... ...
cursed isekai concept, body horror
When transported to another world, the magic takes all of "you" to that world. The magic only classifies your brain and nervous system as "you", leaving your brainless/nerveless body behind.
Perhaps the magic ritual follows up with growing you a new body, but good luck getting back to your original world. It may require some form of magic on the Earth side as well to reverse the process, given your original body is likely to up and fail shortly after your leave.
I'm dragon... sleek tail and neck... flutter wings... stretch body... and raar... sqk...
Idle thoughts on sexuality and attraction
It's interesting how I turn up my nose at the objectifying portrayal of women by otaku nerds and a lot of fanservice, but I'm perfectly fine with fawning over non-human creatures and ogling furries in regards to their non-human traits.
Now to be fair, one of these things is part of a broader culture of the obsession over women's bodies. Me being all over tails or pear-shaped dragons or whatever else, is not likely to contribute towards the over-presence of female characters who exist only to be boobs and butt.
On the other hand, for some of us, our furry "characters" are, well, more than just characters. They are ultra personal visual representations of ourselves. Naturally in such cases, some creatures don't want randos getting murry purry over them. Anime artists probably feel the same way if they draw a pretty girl and get a bunch of nerds making creepy comments.
I dunno. I feel like it's somewhat hypocritical to presume myself (or others) to be above the attitudes of otaku/etc just because I don't like the way women get portrayed in media a lot, when there's things that I'm drawn to just as they are. But the issue is sort of different...
I'm an artist and something of a game dev living in New Zealand.
I talk about personal things that can get tangentially NSFW. While I wouldn't call this an after-dark account, it's kind of a mishmash personal account and prefer to mingle with people I know or trust.
