“The drama is over” / Is Micro$hit now to blame? / ‘Free’ food from Burger King! / Wuffer and I are back together?!

As always, lots to talk about, including a very unexpected thing that happened at the end of the day (that has me both happy and unsure at the same time). Is he lying to me, or telling the truth? And how in the hell am I going to explain this to Kovo and the others? ..I don’t think I can, and feel I alone have to make a decision on who to believe (yet I still have to explain it to Lone and Moon_Shadow.. both may leave me as a friend).
—————
“The drama is over” (Yet Jusper still won at the end)
Waiting for SteamVR to be updated, Kovo sends me yet another DM between him and Lich. Ugh.. seriously, Lich?! Grow up!!
And it appears he actually did do so, telling Kovo that he talked to Sarge and said “I’m taking down all of my posts about Jusper. The drama is over.”
Cautiously optimistic of hearing this. But later on (while ingame), Jusper sent Kovo and myself a long DM between himself and Sarge, granting full access to the model (with the only exception is to never distribute it again). This vote was between him, Nappz and Lich. And by a vote of 2/1, he’s cleared of all wrong-doing and no longer has to hide the model. So in a sense, he still won nomatter what the outcome was. He’s one smart son of a
bitch. Heh.
EDIT: Today (4/27/19), Azure in behalf of Lich and everyone, personally apologized to me and then apologized to our Discord. She gives great regret for this mess, and the pain it caused. Thank you, that means a lot.
I am SO glad this is now behind us. I mean, what Lich did, was blinding rage. Because he was pissed for paying money for a model that Jusper managed to find a loophole.. even though, he told Sarge he was willing to pay full price for it and still was denied (just because he has a modded client). If that’s not bias, I don’t know what is.
Let the end of this drama mark a new revelation in VRChat, that not all who use a modded client, steal avatars. And in this case, Jusper claimed the model cannot be ripped due to the way it was rigged.
Unfortunately, Vale isn’t so forgiving (and is only making things worse by holding a grudge). Hopefully with time, he’ll calm down.
—————————-
Is Micro$hit now to blame (for my thumbpads not working)?
In other news, I’m still waiting for SteamVR to get updated. But, nothing. Checking the discussion forum, someone gave a suggestion to clear out their bindings. What an odd suggestion, but I thought “what the hell” and did so. Don’t get what the purpose of this
is, but it didn’t make the issue go away.
I then noticed something that had downloaded in the background.. owo what’s THIS?! SteamVR got UPDATED?! HELL YEAH!! Now I can get into V– wait, FUCK!! God DAMNIT! The SteamVR Beta got updated! -_- And when I saw that, I no longer feel this is a fault with SteamVR, but the drivers making my headset work with it (aka Microsoft). Yay. Terrfuckingiffic!!(Yes, that’s a real word I made up) So we have to wait for them to update. Ugh.
Ingame, Jusper gave another suggestion that he’ll send what worked for him to me, so I tried it.. *sighs* nothing. I truly feel now, I broke a $200 headset of the way I’ve been rough handling it due to once again getting 11 FPS while tying to hang out with
friends (when it’s not even the headset’s fault).

Today, someone by the name of ‘Yessy’ posted an earlier version of the drivers (just before this issue happened). I seriously have my doubts this is going to work, as it’s literally what I did yesterday. But after I’m finished with this entire blog post, I will try it.
EDIT: Despite all of my anxiety over possibly damaging this $200 brick that sits on my face, the fix.. WORKED!!! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ I CAN MOVE IN VR AGAIN!! I didn’t break my headset afterall!! WOOT!!!

‘Free’ food from Burger King!
Random funny, short story happened on my typical walk up to Burger King for my Friday dinner. I don’t typically talk about things like this, but this one was quite unusual.
So anyway, I’m eating my dinner as normal, nearly almost done when I have a sudden urge to take a dump. Had to get up and use the public restroom for awhile.
Got back, and my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the tray with my food was no longer there. WTF?! No! I wasn’t done eating! One of the workers saw me with my index finger up and I said how I wasn’t done, explaining what I had. She’s all “Oh I’m so sorry! Here, we’ll replace your order for free!”
I got my fries back and my cookie (told them I finished off my burger, so I didn’t ask for another). Took them back to the table, thanking them. Then I had an evil idea, went up there and asked for a to-go bag, which they happily provided. Went back to the
table, putting the food in. Took the tray and put it on the garbage.. walked out the door and rushed home just incase they came out and were all “HEY!! You didn’t pay for that!!”
But I did pay for it, it was you dumbasses thinking I was done. So, thanks for the free dinner for Sunday! HAHAHA!!!
Still have to go over there tomorrow, and get another burger. Heh, I saved so much.

Wuffer and I are back together?!
Now, to the highlight of the night (and the morning). Was hanging out with the guys in Kovo’s world, but most of them left except for myself, Kovo and Vale. We decided to have some fun by going to the brand new grenade toss world (with even more types of grenades). 10 minutes (as I was getting my tail handed to me by Vale), Wuffer DMs me unsuspectingly. And the only reason he did, is because he saw my status change to announce I’m bi (and this time it’s official). He thought I had another
relationship. …Am I sensing jealousy, from Wuffer?
Also… boy, you got a lot of nerve DMing me. Let him have it with the whole cheating thing. He was surprisingly shocked to hear this, and said “I would never cheat. What are you talking about?” Told him how it happened, and then he starts laughing and says “Benie,Β  you don’t understand. I started dating Ballistic after RPing with you.” ..Wait, WHAT?! You
mean.. when we broke up, you were really hurt over my words to the point you didn’t feel like looking for another? *deep sighs and looks down* ..I feel really bad now. He told me he still has feelings for me, and he couldn’t stop thinking about me.
And as for the friend who was RPing the same way he was, he’s incredibly sorry for what happened there, said he didn’t know what he was thinking, and he’s no longer friends with this person over what happened.
At the end, he said “I’m fully committed to you and you only”. *sighs*… I forgive
you, Wuffer. Thank you for apologizing.

Now, when it came to the whole thing with the stolen money (and him being robbed), he was shocked of this news of what Ballistic told me. Now he admits a quarter of it was
true (that they were going to rob him), but he said they stopped when finding out himself and his parents are well-armed. He also said that they didn’t even know why they were there, saying he did nothing wrong.
How the thing happened (in his own words), is the time he bought his Oculus from some guy who uses foreign money. Friends of him said not to do it (as he wanted to use Wuffer’s bank account to take the money), but the guy assured Wuffer that everything would be OK. He said for the first few days, things went as planned. But as it progressed, Wuffer saw the guy was taking a lot more than said.
He confronted the guy, who apologized and said it won’t happen again… it did. Another
confront, the guy paid him some money to cover the cost. But the cost didn’t cover even more money leaving his account. He was forced to call his bank and freeze his assets.
This made the guy quite pissy, accusing Wuffer of not paying the money.. which is probably where Ballistic got this info (and then twisted it to make Wuffer look
bad, because he’s (obviously) still pissed about the breakup).
Since this method clearly isn’t going to work, he promises to pay the guy another way, and has until the end of the year to do so.
He also said he has a job now (that he got three days ago); a pizza guy, which he hopes would develop into delivering them for more money. He says he’s got his life all taken care of, and I ‘shouldn’t worry’ about “not being able to support him” (as he can clearly support himself). This is fantastic, and kind of gives me hope for my RL future.

With all of this said and done, do I say that we’re officially back together…? Yes, and No. More like unofficially. The only thing I truly believe he’s telling the truth, is his feelings toward me. If he felt it was done between us, he wouldn’t had even bothered DMing me (or cared for me anymore).
No, I can feel the passion in his words that he had for me when we were still dating. He still loves me, and I told him exactly what I meant by “wanting it in the confines of VRChat”. He said “oh, so that’s what you meant, silly.” I told him that I was scared how someone would react if I actually wanted to know them IRL, and he said not to be; that he has me. And, I smiled.
But for the rest, I’m still confused– do I believe him, or Ballistic? Plus if we
do (officially) get back together, how in the fuck am I going to explain this to
Lone, Moon, and the others?! Lone alone, with the way his life has been treating
him, would feel Wuffer is clearly lying in order to get back together with me. ..But what if he’s right?
Ugh! DAMNIT!! Ballistic, I want answers!! Did you truly start dating Wuffer after what happened with me and him? Did you lie to me about Wuffer getting robbed?!
I know you’re done with Wuffer, but I want answers and I want them now. But Wuffer said he will “forget what was said” (about breaking into his house), still calling Ballistic a liar. Also, I don’t think he would even care if Wuffer and I got back together.
Still have to inform people I have told, so they don’t ask later and having to go through hell to defend both of us… especially before tomorrow, as that’s Moon_Shadow’s birthday (and I told him I would attend).
EDIT: Told Moon. He’s confused, but doesn’t really care (just as long as he’s not
involved). He also said Wuffer can come. Thanks for understanding. πŸ™‚

Kovo’s Investigation / The Aftermath / The answer I’ve wanted

Yesterday was an interesting day, and had a lot less drama than the day before. I also learned a bit more of what started this entire thing. And finally, I finally got my answer from Jusper (if he actually has feelings for me).

Kovo’s Investigation
I expected more hell to happen yesterday night, after the brief conversation Kovo had with Lich (and sent the images to me). I freaked out when I saw Kovo saying “I guess you could say someone take the fall for someone”.. what the hell are you DOING, Kovo?!?!
Confronting him, he said “guys to dumb to follow it”. I pray you’re right, Kovo. Because if you’re not, then you just screwed NapPie (in a position he would prefer not to be screwed).
Later that day, he calls me. He asks me to contact NapPie and ask him to prove he gave the model to Jusper. He wants to remain neutral, and wants proof Jusper’s telling the truth.
So I tried, but no response. Waited for hours, still no response. Told Kovo, and he feels this might be proof enough (as NapPie clearly with his silence, means he did).
And that’s it for this section.. moving on.
————————
(NUUUU.. my WMR controllers no worky!!) / The Aftermath
The majority of the night goes in here. Jusper surprisingly logged into VRChat. Kovo still doesn’t fully feel he’s telling the truth, so I back off of thinking about joining him (and eventually ask him that passionate burning question).
Time passes and Kovo’s enjoying being ingame. I ask him “is Jusper still on?” he says “yes”. ..Now’s my chance. This question, to me, is best asked ingame to him. I want to feel the reaction, then see it. I just need to wait for the right moment to ask.
Kovo said it’s best to ask if I can join him, due to what happened from a small altercation between him and Lone. Looks like my ‘neutral-aggressive’ stance of Lone was just.
He (Lone) won’t respond to my DMs anymore, even when I said and asked “let’s just forget about Jusper and move on. When do my classes of doing a relationship the right
way, start?”
Got WMR set up and ready and got ingame. Saw Jusper on and joined him. In the world, I tried to move.. no response from my touchpads. The fuck. No. DON’T FUCKING TELL ME I caused irreversible damage to my headset!!!

Jusper shows up and sees how I can’t move. I can move my hands and arms OK, and all the other buttons on my controllers work… so WHAT is going ON HERE?!
Tried going back to my home world.. can’t move here either! Ok, I fucked something up! SHIT!! WHAT DID I DO!? Double checked all settings, everything’s correct. Tried re-pairing the controllers.. nothing! I’m losing my fucking mind right now!!
Launch MR Portal without SteamVR and try it there, it’s detecting the touchpads? Does this mean SteamVR or VRChat’s the fault? Ask the VRChat Discord, 75% thinking of seeing “uhh, no. Never heard of this problem. It’s just you”. Mind blown when a few report having the same issue. One person says “the new SteamVR update broke WMR”. Thank GOD it’s not just me!! But this means I’m gonna be stuck in Desktop mode ’till they fix it.
This currently active post in the ‘WindowsMR for SteamVR’ Steam Discussion forum proves it wasn’t my doing that caused the issue.
The Aftermath
I’m able to move just fine in Desktop mode. Went to go see Kovo (where Jusper’s
there) and saw more than just those two; Sarge was also there, talking to Jusper. Sarge is all “I would had given you the model personally, but they said no. Just like they said no to giving Benie that scale shader he’s using.”
Wow. So this is indirectly linked to my request to getting Naito’s scale shader for BTDB? Over-protective much? Sarge knows quite well I would never distribute the shader, and I have told anyone that asks that I’m not allowed to give it out. Thing is, Sarge said that I was given a ‘watered down version’ of it. I dunno, I still like it.
I also learned what caused this entire mess to start. It wasn’t that Drafy messed up by showing up with that model, it was SpingTap taking a picture and showing it to Lich. Sarge feels if the picture was never taken, none of this would had happened. But, he also feels if Lich didn’t act like a child.. and actually asked Jusper “we have all of this evidence that shows you stole and distributed our model, would you like to explain yourself?”, all of this unneeded drama wouldn’t had happened. I agree to both, because both feels like they ruined my chance with Jusper. ..Or, did I? Because occasionally, he would come along and boop me or pat me on the head. Is there still a chance? I still need to wait for the right moment. Too many people around to ask him.

Few hours pass after that, it’s 1am EDT. Noticed everyone stopped talking, and VRChat shows the black halo around the screen as if it’s about to either crash or send me back to my home world. The black screen stays there for awhile. Go to check Steam to see if SteamVR got updated. See ‘NO CONNECTION’ at the bottom. Oh lord.
Sure enough, the Online light of my cable modem starts flashing blue. Pretty sure my ISP’s doing system maintenance on the lines right now.
Call them: “we are conducting system maint–” hung up at this point, furious they can’t leave a god damn FUCKING NOTE ALERTING their customers about these surprise maintenance downtimes!! Felt like I was done for the night (since they typically say “we don’t know how long it’ll be ’till everything’s up, but please be patient!”, so I created a .txt file and started typing in what I want to say.
Around 1:19am EDT, I saw the Online light as a solid blue. Well, awesome!! It was only a 20 minute downtime! I was back on VRChat.
——————
The answer I’ve wanted
Back on, I noticed a lot less people. Jusper said “you need to try SteamVR again”. Said there hasn’t been an update since. He said to try the ‘macos’ version, as it hasn’t been updated in awhile. Feeling there might be hope I can get back in VR, I tried his suggestion. Logged out of VRChat, tried to play it (in VR).. again, nothing. FUCK!! Now I’m convinced there’s something wrong with either the headset or the controllers (even though there’s two sources that have said “no, it’s not you.”).. but why am I not fucking convinced?!?!
Told Jusper (in a DM) the results, he said to go back to the regular SteamVR version if I haven’t yet. But I tried other versions (including the beta).. still nothing!!
Image result for ARGH
On the stripped down SteamVR Home page (that shows my chosen chaperone and where I can pick what games I wanna play), pressing on the touchpads shows no movement. WMR Home does show movement. But it still isn’t fully convincing me that this isn’t my fault. Just because it’s working in one and not working in the other, can still mean I broke something to cause this to happen! It was also about this time where I found that discussion in the WMR for SteamVR thing.
Look over in Discord and see several people in General chat (including Jusper). Joined them and eventually went back to VRChat. Jusper (in the chat) tells me he has a WMR headset and says he can try it to hopefully convince my mind that it’s not me. Yes, please!! Do it! And… it’s working for him. FuuuuUUUUUUUUU!!! πŸ™ But he says how he hasn’t used WMR in awhile, so it might be out of date. Said to just relax and wait.
*deep sighs* That’s all I can do right now (and I’m still waiting as I type this). I look at him and say “I wish I had working VR, so I can boop you. But I can still boop you with my nose” and do so. He boops me back.
He lays on his back and I nuzzle him, and he nuzzles me. ..The time to ask is getting
close, but there’s still people here. Several start talking about me and him, how its adorable and stuff. One of them (who I was hope was joking) asked “so are you two gonna do it?” We both laughed it off and I almost said “if we were, you wouldn’t see it :P”, but I stopped myself. Then Kovo and Vale dropped out of the chat, leaving me with Jusper. Everything’s going to plan. All I need to do is wait for the ones around us to leave or go somewhere else, then ask.

Finally…, the time came. I took a deep breath and asked “what do you think of
me, personally?” He said that he thinks I’m pretty cool and has nothing against me.
Erm, that’s not what meant, heh (nervous laughter). Then I stated and asked “I was talking about that night. What did you think of me then?”
He said how he was “trying it out”, as he was doing for others. Ohh. Erm. I sighed and
said “well, I just.. thought, you had feelings for me”. He reminded me that he wasn’t looking for an online relationship, and I told him I completely understand.
Am I heartbroken from the answer I finally got from him? No, I was expecting it. Yet he has no problem nuzzling me, and.. I’m fine with that. I feel loved, and that’s all I care about. :’)
It makes me want to get into VR even more, and really show him what I’m capable of. Heh.
Makes me wonder if Kovo and Vale got out of the chat, because they knew I wanted to be alone with Jusper. And if that’s the case, I thank them.

For the rest of the morning (an hour before it was bedtime for me), Garruk showed up out of nowhere and immediately started snuggling me in a very interesting way. It was at this time where I was with another friend I haven’t seen since the Best Boi community era. He was showing me a prefab that’ll soon be released on VRC-Mods, of a radio you can set custom songs to. He even showed me how it works, and I want it. I’m pretty sure Scooby would want it too.
So anyway, Garruk told me he actually joined off of Kovo to see him (but I happen to be there). Kovo did show up, and the two were able to talk while I helped my friend with his prefab. While I talked, I could hear purring behind me. Turned around and Garruk was there, snuggling me again. I wanted to ask him”so how’s your boyfriend? Are you two getting along?”, but there were too many people around to ask, and I didn’t want him to freak out over it. I wanted him to tell me, but that never happened (as in, he never asked if can talk in private).

I know for a fact that he’s dreading breaking up with his boyfriend. But I wonder if he also dreads.. getting back together with him. Three days ago in a DM, he said he was just going to stop talking to me. Yet he does this…? Does this mean he still has feelings toward
me? Did he break up again to be with me? ..I dunno. I’m only wildly assuming right
now.
A reason I feel this, is the way he was snuggling me. I didn’t see him snuggling anyone else like that. It almost felt like true passion, like he was showing he liked me more than just a friend.. even though he has a boyfriend. Perhaps, this was his way to ‘get it out of his system’ that he had feelings towards me, bottled up. This seems to be the most likely scenario, as he never sent me an invite to join him when he left.
Or, maybe he was only being friendly, that’s possible too.
Still was nice to see him again, and I’m glad he wasn’t forced to unfriend me over that mess.

Feeling lost, depressed and alone

It was April 15th when I said “it’s been awhile” since I made a post, due to no drama going on. Now there’s too much for my heart to take.
So I’m going to leave the virtual sex parts out of this post, and flat-out say “I am now bi and don’t mind it anymore.” Yes, you heard me. That first ‘one night stand’ with
Garruk, I feel I can no longer declare myself as straight (and I’m perfectly fine with
it).. though there’s still one side of my brain that’s all “…WHAT THE FUCK AM I SAYING?!?!”.
Bi-curious is my new orientation.
But of course, these sudden things happening, my brain wanting more (then drama
hits) is becoming a toll on my mental health. What’s bad about the second one, is this is the same Jusper that has a modded client. Sarge, Lich and the others are of course labeling him as an avatar stealer (as that’s easy to do). At least, if there was no proof of what he
did, I’m curious if Jusper actually had feelings for me (and would be willing to turn it into an actual relationship).
Honestly, though… I never even expected this to happen!! When he was snuggling me, I thought that was how it was going to stay. Then he asked “do you feel it”, I was shocked. This is a guy who told me over and over, he isn’t interested in online relationships… yet he’s asking me this?? I said, hesitantly “yeah.. kind of”. Then he blew my mind again by saying we can go to a private world and “do it”.
Did he truly have feelings for me (or feel sorry of how lonely I am)..? It’s driving me insane. Maybe he doesn’t know why he did that. I wanna ask him, yet at the same time I don’t..

Because, just like the drama that happened after my time with Garruk, drama happened here as well. And this drama is 5 times worse than cheating on one’s boyfriend.
Essentially, Jusper broke our trust for distributing the Dutchie 3.0 model. He also broke my heart. So the question is… why? Why did he do this? Since Drafy of all people is the one that accepted the model, I have to talk to him. Had to coax him as warm-hearted as I could into talking, with the hell he went through having to explain it to several others. And he told me the truth that he did indeed take the model (and knew it was stolen). Disappointed in him. But when he told me he got rid of it, I forgave him.
For the next day, I tried getting some more detail about what happened with the time of him receiving the model from Jusper. I was only able to get one thing, before he was done dealing with the drama and wanted to move on. As much as my brain demanded knowledge, I obeyed to his request. It appears my answers are going to have to come from the source– Jusper himself. After sending him a friend invite in Discord (that he quickly accepted), I was able to get all of them answered. And this is what I know;
-He “doesn’t know why” he gave the model to Drafy, but later feels he may’ve felt sorry for him.
-Plasmic legitimately got the model from Nappz, making him clear of all accusations.
-He is unaware of any link to the model that Kovo claims. For the longest time, he felt he’s the only one that got the model illegit.
-It’s now confirmed Kovo was right of how Jusper got the model (from NapPie). Which means he was only lying to protect him.
-If he gets banned, he’ll come back, remove all of his friends, and start over.

That evening, war was declared on Jusper, and I became the monkey in the middle. Started with Sarge randomly DMing me as I was working on completely rewriting this post, wanting my ‘permission’ to ruin Jusper’s life; saying how it’ll be “across the board”. I was originally going to say “do whatever you want dude, but I want no part of this”. But I felt by saying that, he would get highly suspicious that I was defending Jusper.
Instead, I decided to use his bias against modded clients by playing along. I even
said “yeah, death to all avatar stealers!! They need to burn in a fire!!” Just trying to ham it on Sarge and his biasness. At this time, I was also sending everything being said to
Kovo.
He (Kovo) called me to discuss what’s going on. Then I saw Sarge and Lich start flooding our Discord with proof Jusper distributed the avatar. ..Wait, what?! This isn’t what I mean by giving them permission! When they said “across the board”, I thought they meant about contacting the admins and getting Jusper banned.. not post it here!! FUCK!!! GOD DAMNIT!!!
Scrambling to prove to Kovo I never gave them permission to do this, Sarge then posts the DM that he and I had as an attempt to show ‘proof’ I gave them permission. This forced me to defend myself that I never said that they could post it in the Discord. When that got out, Kovo got pissed at Sarge and started deleting all the pictures they sent, while I’m still scared I’m going to be forced to choose a side (and lose friends).
Vale joined the call about that time, and Kovo showed us the DMs between him and Lich that lead up to this. In the DM’s, Lich claims that he tried to make peace with Jusper, then saw that Jusper was going to release the model to the public. Wow. I went to Jusper in shock that he would say that, but he convinced me he was bluffing, and said he doesn’t believe in the BS that Lich wants peace.
Went back to Kovo and Vale, Vale’s telling us Sarge threatened to unfriend him for “taking sides”. He now pissed at Sarge over that. …And then I found that Jusper is now pissed at me. He saw the DM and said “Nice man.” I pray he meant it as a compliment. …..It wasn’t. He blocked me. Fuuuuuuck!!! God DAMNIT, Sarge! I lost a friend because you backed me into a corner and I couldn’t think straight!! And now my mind sees myself pulling out a gun and ending it. Felt like I nearly lost my will to live. So Vale tried to explain to Jusper that those words were only used as an act to keep Sarge from getting suspicious. But he was still mad, and Vale told me to give Jusper some space.
*deep sigh* Fine, but I felt like shit since then. ..Yet, why did Sarge come up to ME in the first place (instead of Kovo)?! It’s HIS Discord server, why come to me?!
The two had theories, but nothing really made sense.

Things started to slightly die down and Kovo went ingame, hoping not to deal with the drama. But the drama came to him, and he discovered the reason why Sarge came to me. First off, Sarge is all all “I’m done” with all of this (and has left that group). Then Kovo tells me “Ben, you were used”. ..Used?? Yep, Lich is calling the shots now, and he’s still hellbent on ruining Jusper’s life. So.. he ruined my life by getting Sarge to tell me. That means both Sarge and I were used. So, Sarge isn’t the bad guy. Lich is.
Lovely. He won’t have that fucking smug face after I’m done with him!! He doesn’t realize the pain he just caused. I might never be able to tell Jusper how sorry I am, thanks to
you, asshole. May YOU burn in a fire.. *sigh* I don’t actually mean this, but getting in the way of love pisses me off. πŸ™
Lich clearly cares more about that model than his friends. It’s childish. He’s only going to ruin his reputation (and possibly his relationship with Azure) when it’s all said and done. And I’m all for it.

Half an hour passes as things continue to die down, Vale gets out of the call and Kovo’s also getting ready to leave it, then suggests that I write an apology letter to Jusper and he’ll screenshot and send it to him. Vale comes back and kind of agrees to Kovo’s
suggestion (even though he feels Jusper just needs some time). So I get started typing my feelings in. Takes me 15 minutes trying to think of the best way to say it, and then send it to Vale when I feel I’m ready (so he can go over it and make sure I’m right in my words). With everything good, he sends it.
20 minutes later, we go in General chat as things have died down. Jusper sends me a friend invite and then also joins the chat. I hesitantly say “Hey” and “I hope this means you have forgiven me”. He says it’s all good. Thank goodness. And thank you, Kovo.

So we’re all talking now, and one time both Kovo and Vale go AFK. This gave Jusper the green light to talk to me about how I felt about him (as a person), which was part of the apology letter. He told me “it wasn’t pity why I did it with you”. The word ’embarrassed’ wouldn’t work for this scenario, as Kovo and Vale were still there listening in.
Dunno what to say. Feel like I just lost any chance that we’ll ever get that feeling again that we had the night before all of this shit hit the fan. Scared to ask now, especially with Lich going to every Discord server he can on his ‘righteous’ smear campaign to ruin
him.
I think it’s time to take Lone up on that offer, to help find a group outside of Kovo’s and hope I can find someone that would share the same interests as me (and would think I’m pretty cool to hang around). But Lone himself, when I asked for a hug of what was going on, seemed like he’s either neutral or siding with Lich. So much for relying on him to help me fill this (unintentional) void that Jusper left.
So.. once again, guess I’m on my own. Either I let the pain heal on its own and move on from it (which is what Lone said to do), or I try to find someone myself (without feeling desperate). It’s going to be very hard, since I’m shy and have little to no social
experience. 😐
I dunno why I even have friends. Well, apart from true friends. But some of them could be influenced by Lich. Others (like Dorrvivx), don’t really need to know. Because he nearly did the same thing Lich is doing, but for the Sunken Boi. If it wasn’t for Kovo and Vale calming him down, who knows what would had happened.

(IRL) the fun of installing AC’s
With temps staying persistent in the middle to upper 70’s, I felt it was time to get my AC in. No more having to wait ’till the temp gets cool enough to VR. πŸ˜› Of course, my mother wanted me to also do my father’s AC, which I agreed to do. She’s even going to pay me next month. Personally, she doesn’t have to.
But, I did go through hell (with father’s AC mostly). Mainly because of his SiriusXM antenna stuck where the AC needs to go. Tried our best to get it off.. father accidentally used a crowbar on it, breaking the glass. Smooth move. But, persistence eventually paid off and we were able to remove the sticky part of it.
As for my AC, it was a problem of getting the damn thing aligned to the window sill.
Also, one of the blinds to close the gap was missing its frame. After getting it in, mother and I tried to think of ways to get the thing to still work. Thought of taping it with duct tape, but it wouldn’t stick to the groove of the blind. Thought of using a piece of
board, but the fact our water drainage system is so shit for this old house, there’s a waterfall that goes down the backyard wall when the rain is heavy and persistent
enough (and it’s where I typically put my AC). It would just rot the
wood.
Was close to using that glue gun.. you know, the one I thought was going to fix my headset’s foam pad? But I went back to using duct tape, and this time it’s holding.. for how long, I don’t know.
Think the true test is going to be tomorrow, when it’s supposed to rain here.
——————-
…Did history just fucking repeat itself?!
After cleaning up everything and turning it on (making sure this 4-year-old AC is going to keep working), I went back into VRChat. I never expected what would happen much later into early this morning.
Jusper eventually came on, and I tried to be with him. He was in this very interesting world that’s supposed to simulate the satisfying fun of a marble machine. You can set up ramps and stuff for the balls to follow. Later, others started joining us. I really wanted Jusper to slow down so I can closely be with him. Did finally get that chance and we went to a Friends+ world (because there were others around us).
Me and him cuddled while the others talk. I tried my best to keep my lewdness greatly suppressed. One time, everyone had left. Then they rejoined and stayed with us.
Damnit. πŸ˜› I wanted to be alone with him.
Around 1am, he told me he “had to go to do something”. Didn’t think much of it and let him go, only feeling a bit depressed after. Then I went to go see Scooby.. and really wish I didn’t.

I overheard Sarge in this room, talking about Plasmic and stealing avatars. I’m slightly praying that he’s not talking about the matching avatars that Jusper and him have. Then he comes up to me and asks how I’m doing and stuff (as if nothing’s going on). Told him I’m alright and tried to get him to talk about the hell is going on. He says “Lich has been updated” and goes back to what he was doing.
I’m now too busy talking to Rivers who’s in the room, then I hear Sarge talking to someone to the left of me. I hear Jusper’s name. Go over and try to piece together what’s going
on, and it is indeed the model Jusper and Plasmic are using. Then I hear about he “gave the model to Drafy”.
…The FUCK?! Jusper, why? You told us you don’t do that sort of thing! Ugh. First Garruk and now Jusper who I have to leave over something that’s bad. This is getting ridiculous. Why is this happening to me?!
DJ comes along and sees me like this, yet is asking about how I’ve been doing after my 3rd breakup. I get him away to talk to him in private and tell him about how Wuffer stole money and stuff, now he’s back, and I blocked him. Then the conversation goes about Jusper, and I had to tell him we’re in a ‘secret relationship’. Then Kovo shows up out of nowhere, and I tell him what’s going on.
He feels Jusper’s guilty. I’m not so sure. I say someone framed him (since he has a modded client = stole mai avatar!!). At least, I pray he’s innocent.

Later on, we’re in another world as I saw the two disappear infront of me and bailed back to my home world, thinking there’s a crasher somewhere. But there wasn’t. Then we went to the box world and I invited Vale who wanted to know what’s going on.
DJ had to go, and Kovo crashed again. This time it could be permanent, and we talked about the rest in a group call. At the end, Vale and I decided to play it cool (pretend we never heard this drama). As for me, I want Jusper to either tell me he’s innocent or admit his guilt. It’s up to him if he wants to.
But, there’s something more pressing I need to talk about.
—————-
Kovo’s (possible) departure from VRChat
I’m still shocked at the news, that Kovo’s going to be gone for 2-3 years (or more). He won’t tell us the reason, only that “it’s complicated”. I mean, I could understand 2-3
days, or 2-3 weeks.. but YEARS?? That’s a long time!
The way he was talking, this might be the last time I ever hear his voice again. But, I think he’ll leave next month. I really hope that wasn’t the last time we’ll ever speak again!! What’s obvious, is VRChat is never going to be the same without him (IMO). No more jokes of people thinking he’s gay (when he’s not). No more “R U OKAY?!” No more “horror naps”. Wow. Yeah.. it won’t be the same.

A sign of my future (IRL) / Being love sick sucks / Jusper the lover?

A sign of my future (IRL)
Yesterday, my parents took me up to the store (except it was much later in the day). My father has been feeling sick and losing his memory, so I wanted badly to just order it online and let someone bring my usual Sunday groceries to me.. but he wanted to take me up there. And I feel this is going to be the last time.
Usually the two stay in the car and wait for me to get done, but this time my mother convinced my father to go in after I did, to get some water and other stuff. I heard her tell him “we’ll come back here and wait for him”.
Did my shopping as normal for a Sunday. When I was done and went to pay for it, I noticed no one was using the U-Scans. Perhaps going later in the day has its perks, as usually I have to wait for a spot. Get it all done and head out to the car, expecting them to be there waiting for me. Get to the car.. no parents inside. “How long does it take to get water?!” I exclaimed.
Waited what felt like 20 minutes, dealing with the glare of the Sun in my eyes while trying to look behind me back at the store, to see if they’ll pop up. But, nothing. It was this point where I wish I had my own license, so I wouldn’t have to be dealing with this (and embarrass myself by standing there infront of the trunk waiting for my parents).

Decided to go back in the building, worried the cold food I had was going to perish quicker by being out here in the warm heat of 71*F. Thankfully they have a place to sit in this
area, sat down and continued to wait.
It’s now nearly 7pm.. almost two hours since we left home. Something may’ve happened to them, and was getting ready to go track them down. Finally, mother showed up and then promptly asked for my debit and Kroger card, saying father forgot his wallet.. *facepalm*
Gave her them and continued to wait almost a half an hour, and the two finally came out of the building.
Oy. Yeah, I think this’ll be the last time. This is too hard on father. There are other options.
…………………
Being love sick sucks
Finally back home (and doing my other Sunday chores), I was unsure if I wanted to get on after what happened in the early afternoon (finding out Garruk has a boyfriend). Though I’m pleased to report that it’s starting to look better for the two. Always a good thing.
Just wish, it was better for me. :/ But I eventually did get ingame (in VR, after making sure the batteries in my controllers STAY charged for longer than a day). Really getting tired of dealing with batteries losing nearly all of their charge in less than a week. It’s
ridiculous.
Kovo and friends are still hanging out in his world, but I wasn’t really in the mood to
say “hey” to them (as Kovo isn’t the best person to go to when your heart is partially broken). Neither is Vale. So I stayed in the shadows watching them infront of that
mirror. I then had the idea to use an avatar that I can turn myself invisible, and listen into their conversation. Unfortunately, this avatar doesn’t make my name invisible, and Kovo was easily able to see me. But he never asked that ohh so annoying “You doin’ OKAY?!” line. He means well, but like I said.. wasn’t in the mood. Also, Kovo thought I was avoiding him due to him having one of his MMD avatars (aka his ‘sex bot’) as a companion next to him, and made fun of me over it.
Lone showed up. I tried to get his attention by jumping up and down and hoping he would follow me, but he was too busy talking to Vale about getting some sort of ‘rainbow rifle’ in a game.

I then saw Jusper come into the world, and quickly teleported to spawn. Tried to call out his name, but I was too late and he hit the portal to talk to the others. So I tried to do the same thing I did for Lone, and it eventually worked. Started telling him about
Garruk.. then Kovo and Vale ran over trying to figure what’s going on. I ran the other direction, and got to talk to Jusper alone (finally). He told me another side of Garruk, that he was aroused by me when he first met me (possibly from my awkward position of laying on my bed IRL). He also told Jusper that he was trying to move away from it, hinting he has a boyfriend.. why he didn’t tell me. *sigh*
He finally told me the reason why he’s not looking for a relationship; doesn’t want to deal with the drama of an online relationship. Then he said “stay away from Garruk. He wants an RP relationship”. Told him I wanted the same thing, due to my life.
Again, Garruk is so like me it’s frightening. Probably how I’m able to communicate with him so well.. because I’m literally communicating with myself.

Moving on (as this topic is going too long), Wuffer was there (in VR).. the FUCK?! I thought he was DONE!! Blocked his lying ass (and then tell Jusper all about what he did to me and Ballistic).
There was also an instance of someone pissed at someone else by making fun of them for sounding like a girl (yet is a guy). Kovo was called in to help with it, but he created a new instance. Eventually joined it, but Kovo wasn’t there. Then Jusper starts talking to
air, and getting ready to ask me “did you block Wuffer?” I respawned and then joined another world.. a world sooo not optimized for VR. Every second or half a second, I was locked at a horrible framerate. Was so bad I was forced to manually close out the game.
—————
Jusper the lover?
Felt pretty much ‘done’ with VR after that, but something told me “VRChat was probably too big for your computer to handle. Try rejoining, see if it happens again.” So I did, and this time they were scattered in multiple worlds. But I joined Kovo, who was in quite a familiar world I haven’t been to in a long while (this marks the second time I’ve been here in VR). It’s a retro-like world, where you can go anywhere in it. There’s no invisible walls or anything.
Jusper was there, and we talked for awhile. He asked “what are you looking for in a potential relationship? Cuddling, lewd, or a bit of both?” I said “both, but more on the cuddling side”. Kovo happens to barge in unannounced, and we tell him “we weren’t talking about you, Kovo. Just having a private conversation.”
Later, Jusper asks “when it comes to cuddling, can it be anyone, or are you looking for a specific someone?” I honestly said “if anyone is willing to come up to me and give me snuggles, I welcome it.”
Can’t remember exactly what happened next, but I remember being away from the
group, Jusper comes over to me and starts snuggling me. Never expected him to ask
me “are you feeling it?” So we went to my home world.. I’ll spare the rest as it’s TMI, but it was pretty interesting. And this lasted ’till it was time for me to go to bed (him as well, as he’s in the same time zone I’m in.. he also lives in Ohio).

Was a pretty bad day (IRL and ingame), but it ended on a quite awesome note. πŸ™‚

Posted in Drama, Personal | Comments Off on A sign of my future (IRL) / Being love sick sucks / Jusper the lover?

…Another love in my life? Let’s take it slow this time (Actually, nevermind)

So that random I mentioned that was cuddling me on that train? It appears he (name is ‘Garruk’ ingame) wants to be more than just friends (even though we just met).
Perhaps, he’s desperate for love? He’s a sweet guy, I’ll give him that. But, I feel he’s rushing it.. especially when he’s going for sex even before I start to get attached to him. But I went with it as that’s how desperate I am. :/
Though I did discover he’s..
-25 years old
–Is OK that I’m 17 years older than he is
-Is Finnish (but does his best to speak English)
-Has a Vive with full body tracking (I think)
-Claims he isn’t good at a lot of things
-Claims he’s ‘seen me before’ and has been playing since 2017
-Has a Battle.net account in his Discord profile. Assuming he plays a lot of Overwatch or some other Blizzard game (perhaps Dota 2, or Starcraft). Or who knows.. even WoW?
Still want to talk to him before we really make this go any further. As Lone
said, communication is key to a healthy relationship (even a fledgling one). I want to get to know him better (and him to know me). And who knows.. maybe the sex thing was a one night stand and now he’ll stop seeing me. Anything’s possible at this stage (such as him being another Wuffer, or a close friend of him).

EDIT: So… he fucked up BIG time (and is greatly regretting his mistake).
To be brief as I can, I went to go see him today. He was in a room with two others (one was really close to him). Before I joined, he told me “no snuggling :P” in a DM.. odd, but okay. Maybe he felt too shy around others to see us cuddling, or I just fucked up and this is Garruk’s polyrelationship.
Later, he told me in a DM the truth.. he has a boyfriend, and forgot to tell me.
Image result for Seriously
You can’t be serious.. why didn’t you tell me this before?! He knows what he did was wrong and wishes it would had never happened. And as to why he never told me
sooner, he said he was “too scared” to do so. ..Too scared?! *sighs* Buddy, we need to have a long talk about why communication is extremely important for any relationship (even friendship, it’s still important.. not as important as a romantic relationship, but still). Wasn’t kidding of that long talk– nearly two hours. And he told me everything. And what he told me, I can almost see a lot of my own love life within him.
He said he used to have a boyfriend for ‘nearly three weeks’. During this, the other guy told him that he wanted to get into a poly with a 3rd guy, but Garruk wanted it to be closed. The guy agreed, but Garruk felt the guy wasn’t truly happy, and let him go from his own doubt.
A ‘few days ago’ as he claims, the two got back together. Yet Garruk was still feeling guilt over what he did.. hence what happened with me. Garruk did the right thing and told
him, and he’s (understandably) disappointed in him. Garruk has been trying to make it up to him, but I told him to give the guy some space and prayed the guy will forgive him and they’ll keep their relationship. Though I also want to try to talk to this guy and try to show him that Garruk’s a great guy, and the two really should move on from this.

Thing is.. this guy is 16, and he’s 25. But here’s the unnerving part.. he, doesn’t see a problem with it. *cough* Dude, you’re me.
Image result for WHAT THE FUCK
How are you a copy of my previous love life?! Someone that not just gets me, but mirrors my feelings of what I had for Lunar and Blueberry. And just like me, he even echoed “you need to be a better person” (that Kovo told me), but coming from his friends.
He gets my struggles, but this doesn’t mean it’s now OK to do so.

As for me, I’m a bit heartbroken from the news, but luckily it never really took off. So I should be OK in a few days. I accept his apology. He also said “if I was single, I definitely would like to get to know you better”. That’s sweet of him to say, but it still stings. It will always sting when your mind feels ‘this is normal’ to be nuzzling someone in a passionate way, and then the ‘love drug’ kicks in (and you want more of it).
I say the same thing to Plasmic, but he.. I dunno. After that day, it feels he doesn’t really want to be around me (more than just a regular friend). Maybe he secretly has a crush on Jusper (which is what Garruk said when he saw me). He thought I was jealous of the
two.
Pfft.. me, jealous that I’m still single and totally not wishing I had someone in my life that would love me?! Don’t be silly. I’m not jealous!

Yes.. yes I am. πŸ™
But, at least I’ve learned to ask if the person is in a current relationship. One thing Lone told me, is a heartbreak is good as it helps you to learn what not to do the next time you find someone.

Details of Best Boi 3.0 / All aboard the Heartbreak Hotel train! / VR from a different perspective

A day of weird but interesting, but a day of catching up with a few friends I haven’t seen in awhile.
First it started really strange. As I’m testing the changes I made to the Whelp version of BTD, I get an invite from Cute to join my home world. Uhh.. this is odd. Though my mind starts thinking that maybe she wants to talk to me in SW18’s behalf, about what happened the day before with this news Ballistic gave me. Maybe I said something I shouldn’t
had.
So I accepted it and she joined. Noticed she wasn’t in VR, and then she disappeared a minute later.. the heck was that all about?? Hmm. Shrugged and then joined Kovo. As I’m loading in, Cute sends me a DM apologizing for doing that. Take off my headset to talk to her, saying it’s OK. Said her VR isn’t working right, and her internet connection crashed right then and there. That sucks.
Then she says “I really wanted to talk to you tooooo” Odd. Why me in particular? If you wanna join while I’m with Kovo, you are more than welcome to do so and hang out with us.
She said that she doesn’t know what to talk about, only that she wants to hang out with me. Said that we can hang out in the DM, but says she talks better vocally. *shrug* Fine with me. Then she says she’ll “try again tomorrow”. Okay, sure. I guess.. heh.
Nervous Laughter GIF - Shinegifs GIFs

After that interesting thing, I try to join Kovo and friends. Except, Kovo wasn’t in his normal world. He sends me an invite to join an MMD world. Tried to join.. well hello endless looping of trying to connect to the instance. 3rd time, it redownloaded the world. Moments later, it shows 0/0KB.
Tried to go back to my home world.. loading forever. *sigh* FIX YOUR GAME FFS!!

Details of Best Boi 3.0
Came back after force closing and relaunching VRChat, and saw Melade was on. Quickly joined to say hi to her, who was by herself (at the time). Suddenly, it was like I accidentally released some kind of ‘everyone, join me!!’ beacon, when friends started joining the world to say hi to me. One of them was Kovo, wondering why I couldn’t join the world he was in. Told him the issue, and he’s all ‘Geesus!!’
Melade (the one who I really wanted to speak to in private) wakes up and says how she wasn’t totally watching a movie and stuff like that. Yet not once did she look at me and
ask “how have you been holding up?” Hmm. I honestly have no words, but let’s move on to what she actually did ask. “Did you all attend the meeting?” I was about ready to
say “sorry, but I don’t associate myself with this ‘new breed’ of the Best Boi” (the one tainted by Rusty), but I let Kovo speak for us.
She tells us about the Best Boi 3.0. After I ask her some questions of “what are the differences between 2.0 and 3.0”, we get this info;
It costed upwards up $165 (in donations) to pay for the commission.
The model is free to the public when it’s released.
The release could be either the end of this month or the beginning of next month.
Notable changes from 2.0 to 3.0, the ‘foot tapping’ (VR only) has been fixed. Sounds like the model has been completely re-rigged from scratch (from Kaelygon’s rigging).
Anyone that donated $10 or more to pay for the commission, will receive a free reskin from Rusty. It is unknown if 2.0 and 3.0 will have the same texture sheet.

Now as cool as this is.. I have to side with Creepery and say no to downloading it. He literally told me “forget about the Best Boi’s”. The drama is strong, but if you put yourself in his paws, you can understand why he said this. Rusty comes out of nowhere, and they’re praising him. They simply felt Creepery was ‘getting in the way’ of this, and made his life a living hell. To get the 3.0 version would show I don’t care about him, and I cannot do that– he’s the first furry I saw when I joined VRChat (and the first true friend I have).
—————-
All aboard the Heartbreak Hotel train!
Time to move away from that drama, and move into a bit of awkwardness. So Melade
left, and the others left to go see a few movies. I could had gone with them, but I decided I’d rather spend my time doing something more interactive (than falling asleep in VR from standing still for hours).
Went to go see Scooby’s former boyfriend, Plasmic. The world he’s in is inside a train. It’s based off of a famous scene from the movie Spirited Away. He was with a few randoms who were talking really loud, and I couldn’t really hear him. Then we went to another train car, and he started caressing my face and asking how I’ve been. Told him I’ve been hanging in there. And we started nuzzling eachother. Boy, does he love being nuzzled. Yet I also reminded myself in the back of my mind.. not to go any further, as he’s underaged.
Kept on being interrupted by people, then I asked if he wanted to join me in my home world. He did and we nuzzled eachother there as well (for a good 15 minutes).
He then says he needed to go back and check up on a friend of his, and wished him well.

Since the next few parts leave the topic of discussion (even know they happened after
this), I’ll briefly discuss them while moving to the next topic.
——————-
VR from a different perspective
After Plasmic left, I hung out with Moon until he left, then I went to another world which the game claimed he was there but actually wasn’t. Then Lone and FOXGRACE came and we hung out there (and they acted like they were drunk AF).
..
After that, I went back to see Plasmic who was with Jusper in that same train world, and the two were snuggling. But what I meant about this being the ‘Heartbreak Hotel
train’, was a bit later. I don’t remember what lead to it (think I went to go see Kovo), but I got an idea as I was joining the world yet again, I got out of my chair and tried to lay on my bed in VR. A bit uncomfortable (and weird), but it was also cool. I also eventually saw what my character looked like in a mirror.. like my neck is broken. I half-expected the torso to also be laying in the same direction as the head, but you can’t do much without full body.
Stayed with them for the remainder of the morning, like this.
A few randoms (but friends of Jusper) joined us at this time. One of them starts talking to Jusper about how “Plasmic looks like he wants some”. Jusper’s response is how he’s trying to “defend his crotch” and how “I know what Plasmic can do” with a laugh.
Pretty sure Jusper knows Plasmic is underaged, and is making sure it doesn’t go any further. Then the random looks at me and says to Jusper “this guy looks like he wants some snuggles”.
And so, this is what I mean by this being the ‘heartbreak hotel train’. This random started snuggling me while I still looked like I snapped my neck. Was a bit hilarious. Rolled over on my back in my bed and saw this random, and snuggled him for a bit. So now everyone’s being snuggled by someone else.

Anyway, this position is definitely not something I’m going to be doing anytime soon (I just wanted to see if it’s possible), unless I get a Kinect (or upgrade my computer, get a Vive, and eventually pay to get full body tracking).
Though, I still don’t think my room can handle it. Basically, I wanted to look like Jusper. But he’s leaning his head up. This sadly isn’t something I can do with how small my room is. Even if I sit down on the floor (or lean back in my chair), I doubt the trackers would see my legs (due to my computer table).

VRChat’s issues are back…? / Justice has been served on Wuffer

Another boring yesterday, hanging out in Kovo’s world for most of the day. Tried to visit moon_shadow, but he was asleep in a world (literally laying in a bed). Started feeling drowsy from sitting infront of a mirror for hours, that I tried to fall asleep in VR.
After replacing the batteries in my controllers and putting my headset back on, everyone was gone from the world. How odd.
Moon_Shadow was also up, and in another world. Went to go visit him.. stuck on a black screen. It appears the game was getting DDoS’d again (probably from furry haters).
Force closed the client and relaunched, then tried it again. This time I was able to get into the world Moon was.
Interesting world. Had a bunch of statue-like avatars on the sides. Caught up with moon and talked a bit. Then I started hearing music. What was puzzling, is I got my SoundFX turned off. So it was someone, but I didn’t see who and stayed with Moon. Suddenly he starts hysterically laughing and says “look behind you!” Ballistic was the one playing
music, fucking with me. Heh, nice!

He then asks me to follow him to a specific avatar statue, asking if I know this person. Sadly I do not, and he says this is his new boyfriend ‘Yachty’. He also tells me that this person apologized for what Wuffer did to me. That was nice of them.
I told Ballistic “I wish Wuffer would apologize”. He said “he’s out of our hair for now.” Something about he took money and didn’t want to pay it back, and they repeatably tried to call him. Finally, Wuffer had to sell his Oculus, a monitor, and half of his possessions to cover the cost.

(Me after hearing his fantastic news)
I would call this ‘indirect revenge’ for what he did to me (and Ballistic). It’s going to take him months to recover from this (not to mention his reputation is now ruined).
Love it. I fucking, love it. Justice has been served.

Also, not related to this (but the first thing). Ballistic asked us to join another world he’s working on.. black screen again. Went to Steam to try and verify the installation, and noticed the devs snuck a surprise update about the time the issue started happening. But I did a check anyway. Good thing I did, as it found an issue with my installation and corrected it.
If this was indeed the reason for the black screen, I’ll find out later tonight. If not, then I’ll send a ticket.
EDIT: Looks like that was the reason. Didn’t have a black screen once. It’s possible they ‘pushed’ this update by accident, and doing the cache verify check fixed it. Odd thing though, is no one else in Kovo’s Discord reported this also happening to them.

Replacement facepad is here.. and I knew I wouldn’t like it

There’s going to be a lot of ranting in this one. I can’t help it, but I’m pissed at.. whoever I could be pissed at until they do something that makes this headset not feel so heavy on my face.

I have no good-fitting VR headset and I must scream.

So the pad came earlier today, with instructions on how to get it on. Did my best and got it on. Then I put the headset on my face.. and immediately felt discomfort on the middle of my forehead. I also saw a lot of light coming in from the nose area. Horray. More wasted money.
This is worse than the stock foam pad. With that pad, the discomfort didn’t really hit for a few hours. Here.. less than a minute. It just feels my face wasn’t designed for VR. It still feels like I’m wearing a brick on my face, that can easily slide off. Tighten it more, even more discomfort (but hey, at least it’s not going to slide off).
Only thing I can think of is cut off the area that is bugging me, yet the area that’s bugging me is the only thing keeping the headset on my face! Cut it off, the rest of my face is going to start hurting (because of the lack of support of the middle of my forehead). Hell, I feel as if I wore this headset for all night.. when it’s only been a few minutes. This SUCKS!!

Almost makes me want to get an Oculus (just.. anything other than this), but I want a guarantee it’ll fit better (and I can’t think of how it can guarantee).

EDIT: Okay, so I made the foam pad work in a way it’s not as uncomfortable, and managed to play VRChat. There’s still lots of light bleed, but it really isn’t as bad as I thought (when looking straight into the visors). Plus it helps my face to ‘breath’ and stay cool; like a mini air conditioner.
I basically managed to lift the top of the pad to be closer to the head band of the halo, so the foam pad wouldn’t be directly pressing against the middle of my forehead (and my sinus cavity, which causes even more discomfort).
Though I need to be careful in the future when wearing the headset, as the glue holding the velcro is starting to lose its strength in multiple places.

Is this the death of all cloud-based services?

VRChat players trying to login and being flagged as bots/threats;

Me, already bored with VRChat from game depression;

So, what I thought was even more fearmongering, turned out to be actually true for once. A rare thing. Yesterday afternoon, a friend sent me a long paragraph sent by someone
else, warning everyone to “stay off VRChat”. First, we’re ‘told’ to change our
passwords, now this? It makes perfect sense to be part of the people that didn’t listen to the boy who cried wolf that late evening.
Unfortunately, there actually was a wolf. And that wolf is Cloudflare; the service that not just VRChat’s servers rely on, but a 3rd of the internet. Which begs the question– is this the death of all cloud-based services? Or, just the death of Cloudflare who apparently is much more incompetent than VRChat’s dev team is? Hard to believe, yeah, but the second thing seems to be true. But it also goes to show; you ‘get what you pay for’. Instead of the dev team investing on Google’s cloud service, they’re relying on these nutjobs.
What’s even better? If you try to rejoin VRChat, you run a high risk of your IP being flagged as a threat and blacklisted (aka banned). This is all Cloudflare’s doing.
Seems like to me, Cloudflare is being DDoSd (and not telling anyone). Or, Cloudflare
is ‘giving a sample’ of what Europe will be going through when Article 13 is signed into law.

So yeah, I am pissed.. not at Cloudflare shockingly, but all of these fucking threats I keep getting all year about either VRChat or someone able to DDoS your Discord account if they friend you. I’m pissed of ‘just trying to do my job’ and inform the public, only to have them shut down by know-it-alls (that may/not know what the fuck they’re talking about).
This is why in Kovo’s Discord, I came up with (what I once thought was) an extremely brilliant idea of making a new channel, and a new role called ‘Threat Fact Checker’: having these ‘experts’ of account security duke it out amongst themselves instead of me. If it’s indeed a credible threat, then it would be posted in announcements.
…Yesterday afternoon’s threat, was one that was discussed.. except, not by the actual fact checkers I picked. Instead it was Dorrvivx and myself, going by this ‘threat’ from yesterday to change our passwords. So much for being fair and non-bias, huh? Also, why aren’t the fact checkers doing their jobs? They’re the know-it-alls in security.

And you know what’s the hilarious part in all of this, that I wanted to tell Vale to STFU and stop thinking you know everything!? This happened during the mess.
I didn’t know what was going on, but Kovo was telling Jusper that he “didn’t want to take the risk” of going to another world. That’s when I looked at the Worlds tab, and saw this disturbing thing;

Every. world. is missing. Even the ones I uploaded months ago. Thing is, I remember this happening months ago when the Best Boi community still existed. Very few could join the game, and it was like this. Except, I don’t remember anyone reported of being ‘banned’ from trying to join.
The issue also lasted a day, and I also don’t remember connection issues of blackscreening when trying to join a world. This issue has been happening for a few weeks, and it’s only gotten progressively worse.
Anyway, eventually myself and Scooby were the only ones in the room. But we got bored and left, then joined an active General chat of Kovo’s Discord. I then told them what I
saw, and Vale is saying “oh that’s not true, you’re not being banned, that’s stupid”. The asshole gets on my nerves so much. I swear he’s always out to downplay me, and I don’t know why. No one else does (ingame).

As for the ban, I wouldn’t be surprised if VRChat told Cloudflare to do this, to keep people off the game (and are lying to us). As cruel as it is, it’s a good way to keep people from making a bad problem worse by flooding the servers instead of finding another game to play.
Wonder if this ban also affects Unity…

If ‘Forbidden’ means Yes, then.. OOF. Because I can’t even pull up the Settings window in the VRChat SDK tab. :/
Some users have reported ways around the ban. If they actually work for you, that’s your own discretion. Me personally, I’m just gonna wait patiently. I don’t NEED to get in VRChat (unlike others);
1. Invest in a VPN (or find a free one that gets around Cloudflare’s blacklisting ‘feature’).
2. Unplug your router for 10 minutes, or contact your ISP for a new IP.

All I can say is.. “glad I’m going to be getting that replacement facepad for my headset today. Be able to play Beat Saber or something!” Though Jusper told me that I didn’t have to wait this long to get back in VR. Claimed I could use paper towels as a cushion on the velcro.

.
EDIT: The VRChat devs have made a statement about the ongoing issues plaguing the game, and the issues that happened a few weeks ago.
Going over them, it appears I was ‘half’ right about a DDoS attack — there was indeed an attack — but it wasn’t against Cloudflare. Infact, they weren’t even involved when the first set of issues occurred. And what I mean about ‘first issues’, is the ones that happened shortly after Build 738 was released. The issues of getting sent back to your home
world, not receiving invites from friends, and being stuck on a black screen when joining another world, was caused by DDoS attacks.
As for the second thing (the downtime and getting your IP banned from Cloudflare), the devs explained similar to the threat sent by friends about an issue with their WebSocket client while they were trying to fix the first issue. Though they did, this was causing their own servers to flood Cloudflare. This caused users using the VRChat client to be wrongly flagged as β€œsuspicious agents”.
They have contacted Cloudflare, and the devs feel “the majority of this problem is behind us”, but say there’s still reports of users still blacklisted (such as me). And if you are, create a ticket and post your IP to unflag it.
I’ve submitted my ticket. Also told them about my issues with Unity (not being able to open the Settings window). Even sent them the picture I shared here.

EDIT2: Either the devs fixed my issue, or updating the SDK did. I tried this after I went over the statement again. Near the bottom of it, it shows “As it stands, you should no longer be falsely flagged while playing VRChat as long as you are running the latest version.”
as long as you’re running the latest version‘ made me wonder “does this also mean the SDK?” and tried it. After doing a clean install, the errors went away. Managed to open up the Options window, and I can upload avatars! WOOT! Seems like I’m good!
All I have to do now, is wait for the new foam pad coming today.
