Been so busy most of the day, writing down that really long blog post that I never had time to be with Cola. Fluffy on the other hand has gotten two more that have given him the green light (yet one’s response, I can feel they don’t really care what happens).
=================================
Blue’s blues
Finally, and I mean finally wrapping up my latest blog post, I tried to get on ASAP to be with someone of the group. Blue was in another instance of my homeworld, talking with a few people I know. He’s clearly still in this newness phase to really relax and just be with me, telling me that Cola needs to help by redoing the emotes to be more VR-oriented.
Adam got on (big mistake for him, as Blue had ‘big’ plans for when he would eventually get on VR); squishing him like a bug with his foot, petting him with one finger. Adam didn’t really enjoy it, and I said to him “bet you wonder why you even came on, don’t you?” And he chuckled.
More and more people started joining the instance. A few times, it nearly made my headset crash on me. With Blue, it happened a lot worse to where he said “get out” to me. Quickly dropped a private instance, telling them to get in. Adam and Kandy (the two that were with me) went in just fine. Blue.. didn’t. Uh-oh.
I waited patiently for him to come back on, thinking all he’ll have to do is restart SteamVR.
Minutes turned into hours, with Blue telling me the headset’s crashing yet again (and the same way as before). Kandy then left (I told him to as he was falling asleep in VR) and I wasn’t sure what to do. Saw a few friends in another instance of this box world and went there. Seems I only went back to the previous instance, but I hung out with them for awhile.
DJ then joined the instance, and I asked him how’s he doing, and how is ‘you know
who’ (Wufy) doing. Said Wufy’s still upset and he tried what he could to change his attitude, and how Wufy’s now asleep. So I told him about Blue, and he told me a few things that might help him. Yet I feel “why are you telling me? I don’t own an Oculus. Tell Blue!” And he did just that (even being in a call with him). Sadly I don’t think it ever helped him out.
This morning, Blue told me that he finally got it working again (how Oculus Home sucks).
Hmm, makes me glad I never got the Oculus then. However DJ feels (and so do
others), that Blue’s graphics card may be to blame for it.
I pray this isn’t going to be one of those “it’s a small price to pay” to be in VR. Because that’s a huge pricetag for how long he struggles to get it to work (says it took 8 hours). But hopefully he’s learned from this, to leave when 20+ people are in the instance.
=================================
Fluffy’s assuming he’s part of the group, despite the plan
Without Blue, as I said I wasn’t sure what to do. Do I go to bed? ..Nah, too early.
Hmm, maybe I’ll watch some movies to pass the time. Went to the movie world and looked at the various titles to watch. Hmmmmmm… John Wick 2? Sure! Never got to see it all.
Switched to the version of my avatar that has the group chilling near me.
Nearly 10 minutes after starting the movie, Fluffy wanted in. It was past his bedtime, but I’m not really going to be enforcing that on him anymore. Want him to make his own choices in life.
Anyway, saw the movie. Pretty damn good, and it kind of makes me wanting to see the 3rd movie (as it ended in a semi-cliffhanger). But I also know there’s a 4th movie coming soon and I don’t really want to hunger for it.

So, this section is about Fluffy here. There’s been a recurring trend that’s been slightly bothering me (when he’s showing written proof of talking to these people and getting the green light). And it seems that he’s confused (in my eyes) that he thinks he’s part of the group. But other messages I saw, have him say “I’m going to join the group”.
I’m going to make one thing perfectly clear: he’s not going to be part of the group until he lets everyone in that list know. This is his task, and he’s almost done with it.
He still needs to tell Red, Chris… and Ruffy. I feel Ruffy’s going to be the biggest
problem, and told Fluffy to handle him last.
And Red’s going to be another problem. Fluffy wants to talk to him ingame, and he rarely comes on anymore (assuming he’s often in a private group DM with Russian friends, doing who knows what). I honestly don’t even think it’s worth telling him at this point.

Wrapping up another post with one final note: there is something seriously wrong with the audio/video sync of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. At the start when they’re in the house, the audio goes completely out of sync with the video (making it unwatchable). Don’t think it’ll ever be fixed, and definitely wasn’t on my end (cleared my cache and completely shut down SteamVR/MR Home. Didn’t help it).
