Not sure if this is a ‘be careful what you wish for, you just might get it’ scenario, of telling a friend “at least drama gave me something to do”, because the drama came to me yesterday. Though it wasn’t in the form of love or someone getting pissed at
me, but (IMO).. being misinformed by Kovo and Vale.
The evening was hanging out with Lone and some of my friends for a few hours, ’till it got to a point they’re talking about what vapes they use and stuff. Decided to do some world hopping, something I haven’t done in awhile. Around this same time, the VRChat devs posted an announcement that they’re working on the issue with people unable to join (and the issue of my client hanging when joining a world).
Found this really interesting urban race track world, in Japan. The route is pretty long too, taking place mainly on a few expressways (with all the exits and entrance ramps blocked off). With the map 90% complete, I would like to see these opened up (to make the world freely explorable).
I was confused where you spawn the cars, but finally found them. There’s also a map with four points you can go to. On the loops of the track, has two more spawners. Also found out, apparently Japan is like the UK; driving on the left, with the steering wheel on the right. So confusing! Overall, really nice world. A friend joined it and said this map is a rip from another game, but doesn’t remember what.
Going to other worlds, I run into that issue again that my client hangs while doing so. Force close and go back. This time, the client tells me to log in to my account again. I’m blaming the devs for this incompetence as I do so, and get back in.

Now, going back to the point I was originally talking about. We went to go see Kovo and hang for a bit, while I was yawning my head off from being bored as fuck (game depression is setting in again(being too bored with life to play anything)), this is when Kovo came up to me and asked “Ben?” Thinking he needed my help with one of his avatars or
something, I answered him. Then he says “make sure you change your password before you go to bed”. Stood there utterly confused, then he asks “were you told to log back in?” Said “uhh.. yeah?” Then he says “then you’ve been affected.” Vale chirps in by
saying “change your password, like now.”
I’m still stunned to hear this news. It only reminds me of the stress I go through of posting what others feel is a credible threat, only for it to be shot down by people that know it
all. Now I’m the one shooting this obvious BS down. Told Vale “I rather listen to Zagro instead of you guys, no offense.” He’s the one that told me that it’s not possible to do so. So why not believe him instead of them?
Then I tell him “if this is such a serious threat, how come the devs didn’t tell us? You’d think they would be on top of this!” He says “it just freakin’ happened”.. no, it didn’t. This was an hour ago from the time I was talking to you! I don’t believe this BS! Then he
says “it’s still a good idea to change your freakin’ password if you haven’t done it recently.” Almost told him “do you fucking realize how much of a pain in the ass it is to do so?! You can’t do that ingame! You have to use their fucking website!”.. but, I still did it; changed
it, and almost wanted to go up to Vale and say “there, are you HAPPY NOW?! I fucking changed it!”

But I didn’t (as I knew it wouldn’t go well if I did). I also didn’t want to embarrass myself for being there (of being the one that fought instead of ‘just doing it’)…
Instead, I went back to world hopping. Went to a world which is best described as “hell on Earth” and it should be nuked from orbit; an island full of Furbies, that actually had music playing in the style of the Furbies. I swear I was going to get ass raped or something
there, as some of the songs were love-related.. especially one song how it sounded like a Furby army out to get my ass.
Managed to get off of that island, and got into one of the community lab worlds. This world almost felt eerily similar to my attempt of making a really huge world, using the Mega Fantasy Props Pack as their main source. Stayed there for the rest of the morning infront of a mirror, ’till I got tired enough and went to bed (not ingame mind you).

In other news, that ‘replacement’ facepad for my WMR headset that I pray works without having to spend more money on this damn thing, is scheduled to arrive tomorrow instead of Friday. This definitely made my day.
Actually can’t wait to get back in VR.
