Day 3, didn’t last as long as the last two days (infact I’m back home in Cele right now). Now I don’t know if you guys ever played Warcraft III, and how Arthas followed the whispers Frostmourne (and went insane). Well… Arthas was me yesterday, and Frostmourne, was again the thought of exploring with a wagon. And I think I might be losing it, just like he was.
I tried my best to just focus on the beauty that is this server, but the “is it possible?!” thought has been eating at me all day. I’ll be making another blog post after this one, discussing more in detail.
—
So back to the whole exploring part, I finally made it to Vrock Landing, which looks stunning; possibly the best looking starter town outside of Glasshollow, and it beats Esteron like there’s no tomorrow. I also saw a quite unique market (close to the one provided by Glasshollow). Trees everywhere, wooden fences designed to keep hostiles out (but guests can come in). A few merchants (one named ‘Adventuring Supplies’). Overall, really nice.
—
Next (and final highlight of the day), getting to the top of Mount Mortopolis; one of the highest points in Xanadu. Ran into only one troll, but luckily a bridge made it not want to chase me anymore. But at the top.. “breathtaking” would be an understatement. I had a nearly 360* view of the entire server from up here! I could see the fog from below, blocking most of the view distance.
It eventually thinned away. Now typically with mountain tops, I can easily see the server border from one or multiple directions. But with this server, nope. No coastline, just lots and lots of mountains. Huge world is huge.
–
And that’s about it. I do plan to go back to this server, as there’s so much more to see. But I have to take care of several.. priorities first. As said, I’ll be making a post after this about it.

Day 2 is now complete. Chilling in a structure near Whitefay.
Yesterday was an… interesting day. Lots to talk about, and lots to do.

The main highlight of the day, was getting to Esteron (the SE side of Xanadu). Looking at the map, I could see no clear way to get there. Hoping the locals might know the road layout, I asked. They told me to find a waystone and plot a course there.. I stood there confused, “wait. Did you say ‘plot a course’? But I’m on horseback!” However, since I was near the entrance to Amish Estates, I tried right clicking on the waystone here, and sure enough I see a Plot Course option. WTF?! I’ve never seen this before!! This is interesting.
Typed in ‘Esteron’ in the search bar;
‘No routes found to Esteron!’ it tells me. Quite discouraging, and told them this. Was told “Esteron has yet to be connected to the rest of the network”. One of the people that were working on getting this taken care of, said “it’ll be months before it’s done though”.. ugh, months?! NOW how in the fuck am I going to get there?!
Then someone else mentioned “someone named Soleil stopped here yesterday in a wagon, asking to get to Esteron.”, mentions a bridge somewhere, then he said “he knew how to get there”. I was then told to try and contact this ‘Soleil’ and see if he made it to Esteron. Fortunately for me, he was online (and still enroute there). He was able to give me directions in what he thinks is the way there.
Knowing how this guy could be my only hope to reach that deed, I followed the roads he said to go, and eventually caught up to him. Since I was much faster than his wagon, he said he could hitch my horse to it and let me ride on the back of it. Seeing how Sol was going down (and I don’t like traveling at night), I took him up on his offer.
–
Two and a half Wurm days later (I’m not kidding, that’s exactly how long it took), we finally reached it! And it paid off too. Esteron looks pretty good compared to the other starter towns I’ve visited.
And as for the person who helped me get here, he too is an explorer. And now he’s going to do his own thing (with his wagon) while in Esteron, and I’m on my own again (including, figuring out how to retrace the steps he took to get here).
…It was here, that the wheels began to turn (if I should do the same (have a wagon instead of a horse)), and started thinking about all the advantages of doing so (mainly the thought of hitched animals don’t have to be branded, as the vehicle takes care of the perms). This would even possibly answer just how I go about living like a nomad.
Looking back at the conversation that I had with Soleil, never once did he say it was a good idea to do so (more like to stick with what I have). But he doesn’t even know what ‘perms’ are, yet he also claims he’s been playing for as long as I have.
–
But the negatives are also just as important to note. The lack of a view behind me, and the fact bison are so much slower than a 5-speed horse (allowing mobs to catch up to me a lot easier).
—
The final highlight, was coming back to the ‘mainland’ of Xan. I’ve visited what I could of this ‘island’, even saw the remains of Black Rock Isle’s Xanadu location (Black Rock Isle is originally in Inde). The way Esteron is (currently), none of the deeds here are connected to the main catseye highway network.
Did follow the way out of this ‘island’, only to be “okay, I’m fucked. I have no idea where to go now!” I feared I might have to get B2 to pick me up.
But somehow, luck finds a way, and steered me exactly where I needed to go (after speaking to this RL couple). Though the husband (after being ambushed by a troll) decided he would be all “I’m too scared to help you!”.. nearly died there with 27% health left, and all he said was “thanks”. WTF! Why in the FUCK couldn’t you had helped me kill it!? I was doing the tanking, you could had DPS’d it for me!
What an ass. Left this unhelpful coward behind.
–
Made it back to the passageway around the mountain as Sol set. Repairing Umawarrior’s gear, when the coward popped up again in local. At this time, I was just glad I was able to heal myself (Life Transfer FTW). He wanted to make sure I found the way that I remembered, and I said yeah.
Sol’s back up, and I made it back to the main roads just before Soldown. Now heading for Vrock Landing (final unexplored starter town). Or at least I will be, on Day 3.

I’m currently located in a safe house, near Summerholt (it’s NE of me). Since this is apparently where I’ll be logging for the RL night, I think it’s a good time to go over some highlights on Day 1 of exploring Xan on horseback.
—
Initial highlights: So far I’ve visited 5 starter towns (Linton being the best looking, and Whitefay being.. well, not so good). I do like the fact the starter towns aren’t a no-effort copy, it looks like they try to fit in with their surroundings. Though I can’t say the same about the markets (which look like exact no-effort copies). Linton’s market showed this the best, having two roads that go nowhere.
I also bought a skiller pick from one of their markets (yes I could had made my own, but I’m too lazy). But hopefully with this pick, it will encourage me to start grinding my Mining skill (to where I can start getting my own 70QL ore).

Now I shall discuss the other highlights, starting with the first;
Got to the west side (across from Dragonshearts’s deed), and ended up at a deed that wasn’t named on the map. But after mooring my boat and hopping on my horse, I discovered that this is exactly where I needed to go (to reach the main roads). But going on this pretty sandstone-covered road, my computer seemed to not like it too much; was getting constant freezing (to the point it nearly locked up completely). Not really a good first impression, Xan.
Yet somehow, it recovered (by causing Wurm to CTD with no error). But since then, it has behaved normally. So I don’t know what the fuck caused this insane resource use, but I’m glad it fixed itself.
—
Second highlight, was heading SW towards Newspring (after visiting Lormere). To hammer in just how big this server is, it took a half an hour to get there. But the journey to get there.. breathtaking vistas of mountain ranges and valleys of trees. I feel Xan has just stolen the coolness factor away from Deli. However, that wouldn’t be fair to Deli (since Xan is 4-times bigger).
Therefore, Deli keeps its title (as the coolest small server), and Xan (-VS- Inde).. there’s no contest, Xan wins (even though Inde would care less, being the oldest PvE server).
There’s also a second part to this– the unique ways of marking specific areas, using hanging lamps (showing the distance in KM), and the use of gravestones (marking POIs like Tundra reservation areas, bridges, and the like).
There was even this one where it said “Have a safe trip!” Seeing this on a gravestone, was just.. hilarity. “Don’t let the troll bite you in the ass!”
—
Third highlight, crossing the longest bridge in my Wurm life– the Newspring Bridge. What was fucking cool, is this bridge accesses a large island (which has the starter town in its central location). It was also, how far from the mainland I was. I could see the entire SW coastline from the bridge! So cool.
—
Forth (and final) highlight, was heading to where (I assume) to be the location of where I went to, to buy my Knarr. This ridiculously long E/W highway (accessible from north of Linton), has to be the coolest thing I’ve seen in this game. When I see 1,529 (in meters) until reaching the next deed, it once again shows how massive this server is. I swear, it would likely take two RL hours to get from one side of Xan to the other (without stopping).
–
But that isn’t the cool part, it’s seeing miles of untouched wilderness along this highway (that you would see IRL along an interstate). No deeds as far as the view distance can see.
Like this one time, I park on the side of the road (to get Umawarrior some grass as she’s getting slow). Acres of lemon trees. No guard towers. No deeds. Very few mobs. This, is the feeling of being on your own (literally). For a game that’s supposed to be multiplayer-based, this is a great refresher of what it feels to be isolated from annoyances.
I loved it. Absolutely, loved it. Great way to clear one’s head (when you’re asocial).
–
Did eventually arrive at where my Knarr was ‘born’ (using a foot tunnel to access it). At first I was unsure if this was the place (and I had to go over my old screenshots from late 2015). But sure enough, this is the place. I remembered the rough cobble path going along the shore, that B2 dropped me off to go pay for it.
Actually kind of upsets me that the place is gone. But, ehh. It was still good to be able to get here (didn’t think the foot tunnel would had even worked in my favor).

So far, I really like it here in Xan. However, I worry I might be exploring too many things, too quickly (and be done way before what I originally predicted). I also worry I might run out of ‘cool spots’ too quickly (since I’m focusing on seeing all the starter towns, and not anything else). But I’ll try to focus next on following the coastline of the server (once I get done with seeing all the towns).
What I wish I could actually have, is Cindylu (the person I met from the Impalong last year) here on a horse, exploring Xan with me. But she hasn’t been seen in just over two months (and it’s really starting to worry me). I hope to talk to someone in Pristine (before the next Impalong) and figure out where she went.

The VRChat devs have ‘graced’ us with another update for the game. And like the last one, it’s world-based. There’s a few things to cover here (where some aren’t even for worlds).
So first off, be sure to get the latest SDK from VRChat’s website. I’m hearing that it’s stable from a (hopeful) reliable source.
Second thing, the devs have enabled (or rather ‘re-enabled’) a feature called “Particle Limiter”. This isn’t enabled by default, as it requires the user to add a file to where one’s log output goes (which is in C:\Users\(YourName)\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat). There you can create a file called ‘vrchat;config.json’, and use something like Notepad++ to open it.
Go here for more info about it, and what to copy and paste into the file.. Now note this system is in Beta, and may be changed, modified, or removed during future releases. But if this helps with Best Boi meetings (where the lag is.. like having 1-2FPS even with Block Avatars by Default enabled), I’ll be eternally grateful.
—
The next non-world based change, is Desktop users FINALLY have a Mouse Sensitivity slider!! REJOICE! Finally some love for non-VR people like myself. 🙂

Now it’s time to go over with the world-based updates.
1. When server hopping, worlds have their world size (in KB) on the top left. This is useful for people who enjoy being a part of a large world. It’s also useful for people with potato computers to avoid worlds like that.
2. New scripts added to the SDK (accessible in Unity);
VRC_SyncVideoStream (you can now watch streamed Twitch/YouTube videos ingame)
VRC_VideoScreen (for use with VRC_SyncVideoStream)
VRC_VideoSpeaker (for use with VRC_SyncVideoStream)
3. ‘VRChat Home Kit’ released, where you can make your own customized VRChat Home. Go here to download the kit, and here on how to work with it. Others hope that this could be the start of a series of ‘kits’, one example being a ‘Minigame Kit’, for setting up your own minigames (think of something similar to the late GMod Tower, and picture the minigames in it being a world (or worlds)). This would be a fantastic step in attracting new people into the game (just hope they pack their patience with the increased lag and random disconnects).
–
Thinking about all of this, this might get me back into working on my world again (haven’t touched it in weeks). Last time I was in it, I was working on a custom-designed house (using the props from the Mega Fantasy Props Pack). But I got fed up with the design (how certain walls weren’t lining up right) and stopped working on it.

When living in Southern Indiana, I have to deal with Kentucky’s news (and how they’re very big on horse racing). I care very little about that sport (and more of the Indy 500).
But when the head of the GMs of Wurm wants to do a derby, I jump for it. Pretty ironic, right? Well what if I told you, it had a much-wanted incentive?
However, it isn’t without a twist (just like everything else with Wurm).

So what’s going to happen, is around 7-8pm this evening, Enki’s going to come on and do a series of quizzes. Who gets them right, wins a ticket to enter an “elite race” (as he puts it).
“Surprise, you got to earn it!” But the race itself isn’t what’s enticing me, it’s getting 10 free sleep powder for winning a ticket. ..That’s all I really give a fuck about. How I ate those damn things like candy (at last year’s Impalong), I very much need these for next month’s Pristine Impalong.
However, I feel my chances of winning it, are pretty much the same chances of participating in yesterday’s Best Boi catwalk event …(zero, zippo, zilch.. nada).
The quiz questions are going to be speed-based, and be about Wurm’s history (since the launch in 2004). So yeah.. no chance. Might as well wave goodbye to it.
—
But, if an act of God were to happen to help me win a ticket, and be able to participate in this “elite race”; with my skill of maintaining a 5-speed horse’s top speed (without stopping) for 5+ minutes, I might have a chance.
As for a traditional race, the following prizes are to be handed out for the three top finishers;
First place gets a large magical chest.
Second place gets a small magical chest.
and Third place gets a Cyclops statue.

That’s about it. Please wish me luck (of winning a ticket), or not. That’s up to you.

This is surprising news (even though Net Neutrality is dead). But Astroneer. now has an official release date, scheduled for December of this year.
So check out this pretty awesome looking trailer.. and then watch it again with a keen eye, as it has teasers of what could possibly come with the 1.0 launch.
EDIT: An exclusive interview has been released with Inside Xbox sitting down with some of the System Era team, going over the E3 Trailer with more detail, and also discussing the future of Astroneer.

And from my analysis of the trailer, I’m seeing these things;
-A possible new intro with the space station flying through the system, that might explain why Terran was picked. Though I’m to easily assume, we (as a species) know about this system (and made the terrain tool to work with the specific soil composition of each planet), in hopes to (eventually) colonize the system for the human race.
–In the intro scene, there seems to be a small nebula. Is this a sign we might be able to harvest resources in space?
-Black Hole-like structure (at the end of the intro scene) popping up (and forming) on the left side of Terran. Many theorize this could be a wormhole to another universe.
-A new ‘going down to Terran for the first time’ animation, actually seeing the space station you’re leaving as you’re getting ready to burn through Terran’s atmosphere.
-Aggressive Flora on the surface (ones that will attempt to smash you into a fine paste).
-A new platform to store multiple enclosed 1 seat cockpits…? Is this a sign that you might be able to use these to launch back to the space station?
-Bore heads (for the large rover)! However, this could very well be the Drill (which already exists ingame). But maybe perhaps, there will be a new ‘bore mode’ where the rover can change its pitch.
-The landing pad (that you get when you first touch down on Terran), is now a raised platform, and would be used for the shuttle.
-New platforms (one that looks like a house, and another that looks like an Inserter from Factorio.. possibly player housing, and automation).
-A possible story, with purple alien life forms (unknown if they’re hostile).

So, this is exciting. Finally having a story– a purpose to this game, I’m looking forward to. I’m also interested in this player housing, and automation.
As always, you can see the Astroneer Development Roadmap here, where it mentions several of these things.

The mother of all video game/tech conventions (Electronic Entertainment Expo(E3)) is now ongoing. And while I haven’t been following the news (because of Wurm).. and who the hell really wants to hear the overhyped fluff (and CGI game trailers that won’t be in the actual game) that come out of the mouths of greed-driven AAA publishers, lying through their teeth with: “we’re doing this for the gamers”?
But, I’ll do it anyway, as there are several games that have caught my eye and deserve my time to talk about (be them good or bad).
Yesterday was primarily Bethesda’s day to shine, and since I typically talk about sequels, prequels, or even new games (either part of the IP or with an entirely new one) that caught my eye, five games have won my time to talk about. Four of these are new games (from its IP), and the last (but also the one I’m looking most forward to), is a sequel.

Game: Fallout 76
Game Type: Next installment (though it could be its own game)
Trailer Link(s): Teaser | E3 Trailer | Gameplay Trailer
Developer: Bethesda
Publisher: Bethesda
Release Date (ETA): November 14th, 2018
Discussion: Rumors have been going out since the first teaser trailer, hinted at an ‘always online’ gameplay mechanic; featuring 4-player co-op. Fears that Bethesda has “lost their identity” with the IP, and the hatred of forced to have a constant connection games (since the shitstorm of SimCity 5… but hey, “that’s an EA thing”), it was Bethesda’s time to.. confirm the rumors.
However, a few trailer breakdown videos are showing that it may not be as bad as people are thinking.
1. ‘Four times bigger’ than Fallout 4.
2. ‘A dozen players’, instead of hundreds or even thousands (with the world being bigger, running into another player might be rare).
3. Though it’s possible to grief other settlements with nukes, exploring nuked sites award good stuff (with stronger enemies).
4. They plan to do everything humanly possible, to curb the threat of toxicity and trolling.
Final Thoughts: All I can say, is I hope the Fallout 76 universe is non-canon (aka not being part of the official Fallout lore). The vault itself, that’s fine. But what happens in the game, I pray doesn’t show up if a Fallout 5 is around the corner.
I’ll probably pass on this, though. Haven’t even completed Fallout 4 yet (due to a forced monitor resolution and hardcoded controls).

Game: The Elder Scrolls 6 (yes, it’s a thing!!)
Game Type: Next installment
Trailer Link(s): E3 Trailer
Developer: Bethesda
Publisher: Bethesda
Release Date (ETA): *Unknown, predicted by 2019-2020, or further*
Discussion: After MANY years, it’s finally official! Because if I see another god damn Skyrim port, it’ll be too– wait. I’m getting reports that Bethesda have.. just released Skyrim (titled ‘Very Special Edition’) for… you got to be kidding me. FUCKING ALEXA?!?!
Okay, Bethesda. You’re going too far!
Going back to what I was talking about, the trailer seems to show a small seaside town (with an ocean on the right). It seems we might be going to High Rock (and hopefully Hammerfell gets included with it). Then again it could also be in Valenwood.
However, some say that this “could be anything” (as it doesn’t have an official location), and this trailer could be nothing but a temp placement. And they could be right.
Final Thoughts: One trailer isn’t really going to cut it for me. I want to see more.

Game: Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot (Possible VR exclusive)
Game Type: *It’s never known with the Wolfenstein franchise*
Trailer Link(s): E3 Trailer
Developer: Bethesda
Publisher: Bethesda
Release Date (ETA): 2019 *Unknown month*
Discussion: Taking place in Paris, France; 1980 (if the US didn’t win World War II). The game seems to be happening in the same timespace as The Old Blood and The New Order.
And this time, you will not be playing as BJ, but as a freelance hacker who decides to help the French Resistance. As a hacker, you have the power to literally take over the Nazi war machine (and use it against them). Mmmm.. the smell of roasted Nazi in the morning.
And what’s better, you’ll feel you’re controlling the machine (as this is based in VR)!
Final Thoughts: I’m glad Bethesda is putting more funding into VR, but it’s currently unknown (at this time) if this will be a VR-exclusive title(and will use full body tracking).

Game: DOOM Eternal
Game Type: Sequel
Trailer Link(s): E3 Trailer
Developer: Id Software
Publisher: Bethesda
Release Date (ETA): *Unknown, predicted by 2019*
Discussion: Ohhhh… this is one sequel that I’m sure the demons in hell do NOT want to hear about! Even Satan himself is probably checking his closet, praying someone immensely powerful, and full of hatred for all things demonic, doesn’t pop up in it.
You obviously know who I’m talking about; the father of the PC FPS genre, the protector of good, and demon asskicking extraordinaire….
THE MOTHER****ING DOOMGUY!! *E1M1 music plays*
Or as he’s known to demons, the ‘Doomslayer’. And the trailer, while not showing much in gameplay, gives a glimpse of what’s to come. Enemies from DOOM II (that didn’t make the cut with 2016’s DOOM reboot), might be in this game. There might even be these strange crab-like creatures, which what looks like either something to stab you with, or a powerful laser on their back.
Whatever’s the case, the time to RIP AND TEAR is coming back. On August 10th during Quakecon 2018, there will be a gameplay reveal during their livestream.
Final Thoughts: Ohh BABY, I cannot wait for this one. Still made by the legendary Id Software, you know it’s going to be good.
However, seeing as the Doomslayer is using the original suit from 1994, I say this could be a prequel (perhaps between the timeline between DOOM 2 and (2016’s)DOOM), where at the end, the player gets to go against The Titan.

Game: Just Cause 4
Game Type: Next installment
Trailer Link(s): E3 Trailer | World Exclusive Gameplay(Feat NerdCubed)
Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix
Release Date (ETA): End of this year
Discussion: Another Just Cause game, this early? Why? .. Just cause!
The favorite “fuck with everything, because I can” franchise is getting a new game. This time, Rico’s going to South America to face his greatest enemy yet; ‘The Black Hand’. Except, this isn’t war.. this is a battle for survival.
New things added, is a tornado, wind streams, and brand new (“why is this even a thing?! .. Oh, just cause!”) grapple mods (toggable balloons, and thrusters can be welded to grapple hooks).
Final Thoughts: More videos, please (especially ones from Dan).

.
And that’s all I can cover (for now). If I get any new info with any of the games I discussed here (or another game that catches my eye), I’ll be updating this post. Because E3 has just started.

It seems that life thinks I haven’t had enough drama in my life for awhile, so it created some in the form of the person who’s planning to do my commission request, DMing me.
The person started the DM saying “so, I was thinking”, and I’m thinking “oh no, is there a problem with the commission? Do I have to pay you more now?”
There was indeed a problem with it, but not of “I need more details of what you’re looking for” (or) “I’m unable to do the model for you”, it was “You can’t use this for the catwalk event as you didn’t make it, it wouldn’t be fair.” Yet the person said “I’ll still make the model”.

The…whole purpose of asking for the commission, was for the catwalk event. I am paying you to do the work for me… yet you tell me it would had never worked, all because of some invisible rule (that I never heard Twitchin or even Kibble say)?!
Plus, I expected to see “do you still want me to make the model?” (as it would be more of an ‘adult’ response), yet instead you tell me (in my extended sarcastic ways) “but, you’re still going to pay me, so I’ll make it anyway. I still crushed your hopes and dreams, though, and I’m not sorry about that.”
I didn’t know what to think, when I was told (in the first paragraph). I went silent for 10-15 minutes. Except “this was still MY idea, you know!” Then it turned to anger, thinking “okay, fine. Then I guess you don’t get my $20. You should had kept your fucking MOUTH CLOSED if you wanted the money.”

It took longer until I started thinking about what was said, and that’s when the anger turned towards myself (and my obvious failure to use common sense). Just because it wasn’t mentioned by those two, I still should had thought of what would happen if I actually had won, and was asked “did you make that model?”.
That’s not all. The person was also the one that indirectly gave me the idea to do this (after the mention of the catwalk event). The person’s waving their hands, saying “I’ll do commissions for reasonable prices.” It was my fault for assuming “hey, I could get that Best Boi I wanna do, made by someone else for the catwalk event. Yes!”
And with that, I tried to tell the person “Since you feel it wouldn’t be fair (and you’re probably right), then cancel the commission please.” No response, and suddenly I remembered just how ‘fucky’ Discord is for them (and know they wouldn’t see it). So I have to track them down (again), just to tell them “deal’s off. Sorry.”

Later that day, I got someone that helped to track the person down. Got up to them, and asked them to please check their DMs. They claim they can’t do that when on VR, but said they would. That’s all I wanted to hear, and I logged off before they could say anything else. And I’m probably not going to play VRChat for a very long time (until I get over this, which doesn’t feel possible).
Never did get a response from the person, who I assume is quite disappointed in me. But that’s fine, because I’m more disappointed at myself.

To me, not using basic common sense (that commissioned avatars wouldn’t be fair to use), I don’t deserve to play, or even have that commission made as a personal avatar. I’m going back to my stubborn ways of “if I can’t do it myself, it doesn’t get made”.
*sighs* …I wasn’t even in it for the Steam gift card. I.. just wanted to feel appreciated (even with a commissioned avatar). Not to mention, I was also trying to lose the ‘furry’ look (ridiculed by low IQ teens for ‘being a furry’ (when I’m actually a scalie)). Folks, just because I like the Best Boi model, doesn’t make me a furry. I’m not even into the whole fursuit crap; I wouldn’t be caught dead as one.
—
But in other ways, I’m actually glad I didn’t go through with the commission. As I said before, it was because of desperation. It was all because of that damn cap, that I went through so much hell with. It would had been a lot easier, if the person didn’t make the background the same fucking color as the hat itself.
I just don’t have the patience for this kind of thing. Plus, what would others think of me, when they saw this thing popping up? Would they feel “I’m happy that you’re happy”, or “you’re an embarrassment”? I personally am fine with commissioned avatars, but I don’t know how others would react.
It’s easy to say “don’t care what others think, only care about what you think”. But what I think, isn’t just getting my money’s worth, but being respected.

As you can see, it’s going to take a lot of convincing to get me back to VRChat. And no one has time for that.
But that’s fine. VRChat’s boring anyway.
