I just don&#8217;t want to go through all of that hell to get all the mods I use, updated. Plus, the Beat Saber Mod Manager no longer works (as the author shut it down due to RL issues). Everyone&#8217;s waiting for someone to step in to make a new one.<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<em><strong>Trying to fix this issue with my headset<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nSpeaking of such, I decided to post <a href=\"https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/app\/719950\/discussions\/0\/3491891042509544230\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my help request<\/a> from Steam in the VR Discord (they have a troubleshooting channel there). Got a response, but it was the most unhelpful, lazy response ever. But after I got back from the store, the Steam one got a response (and it was a pretty long one). Said to try and look in Event Viewer and see if anything around the time of the four crashes, Windows logged it. And looking, I can only see one of the four belonging to a &#8216;WUDFHost.exe&#8217; file.<br \/>\nTheir response was a likely driver issue, and said to do a clean install on SteamVR (yet bets it&#8217;s an issue with the WMR drivers). They also answered my question if I should be using this &#8216;VR Ready&#8217; port (yes).<br \/>\nSo I did this (and more); uninstalled and reinstalled MR Portal, SteamVR, and the WMR for SteamVR drivers. After getting a few updates from Windows, surprised MR Portal didn&#8217;t ask me to recalibrate the controllers (but I did it anyway). Getting SteamVR installed, also installed the WMR for SteamVR drivers automatically.<br \/>\nWith all three reinstalled, I got on VRChat for Nighwolf (he wanted me to be there for him). No sooner than less than a half an hour, the headset attempted to crash.. but &#8216;failed&#8217; to do so.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"centered_photo\" src=\"https:\/\/i.kym-cdn.com\/photos\/images\/newsfeed\/000\/918\/810\/a22.jpg\" alt=\"Windows XP Task Failed successfully.

And it has been occasionally trying, and &#8216;failing&#8217;. This has allowed me to finally enjoy VR as I wanted, even watched the movie <em>Ready Player One (in 3D)<\/em> in the world that took five minutes (with my old hardware) &#8217;till I could finally speak. And wow was it nice. The movie though, I can see why it sucks. But I kind of like the moral of<br \/>\nit (and why it resonates with me).. wanting to escape your reality (and the dangers of<br \/>\nit). Though if I actually met my friends IRL, that might change my own perspective.<br \/>\nAnyway, I had to favorite the world (since it runs SOOO much better with this new hardware). You have a lot of movies you can watch! We can have a &#8216;movie night&#8217; (Kovo and his friends). Just need some virtual popcorn.<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n<em><strong>Seems the word is out<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">(with Nighwolf15 and myself)<\/span><\/em><br \/>\nWhile I was waiting for my parents to get home (so they could take me to the store), Cute DM&#8217;d me and asked if I &#8216;liked&#8217; Nighwolf. I was honest with her, and said &#8220;yes, as a friend&#8221;. But she didn&#8217;t believe me, feeling like we were closer. Um, you were there. I was only there to give him a shoulder to cry on. Will admit that he definitely showed the signs that he has a crush on me, but I thought he was just joking as he usually does (as he thinks I&#8217;m into vore and keeps asking me to &#8216;eat him&#8217;). Like Kovo, I&#8217;m also not into that. That&#8217;s one fetish I&#8217;m putting my foot down on.<br \/>\nAnyway, he definitely needed support today, how he lost his job at Walmart. Was late one day, and they let him go. From what he explained, Walmart is not a nice place to work. So I tried to cheer him up by saying to not give up, that he&#8217;ll find an even better job. He<br \/>\nsays &#8220;I hope I do, I got credit cards to pay. I got V-Bucks to buy.&#8221; ..Oh come on! Play a GOOD game, like Minecraft! He said he can&#8217;t find anyone that wants to play, so that&#8217;s why he doesn&#8217;t and plays Fortnite instead.<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nSince then, I&#8217;ll have to admit I am starting to get a small crush on him. He&#8217;s almost like<br \/>\na &#8216;fun Wuffer&#8217;, but I really want to get to know him more (as I&#8217;m sure he would just &#8216;love&#8217; to hear my depressing, sad (yet avoidable) life). One of these days, I&#8217;m going to have to tell him. And if that ruins his crush with me (to where he decides he doesn&#8217;t want to see me again), so be it.<br \/>\nBut if he doesn&#8217;t care for the heavy baggage (possibly thinking the same for me by him telling me about his issues with life), than that&#8217;s great. Hell, I too hope things go better for me. If I live long enough, maybe it&#8217;ll be easier to get a driver&#8217;s license.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n<strong>EDIT:<\/strong> He knows that my &#8216;job&#8217; is sitting on my ass, and understands. He&#8217;s just glad I have a steady income (even if it&#8217;s from the government). This is, well, good for a fledgling relationship. Only thing I don&#8217;t really like about him is he keeps whining about needing a job and money (and I&#8217;ve told him over and over that he&#8217;ll find one). It got to a point where he&#8217;s now knowing it&#8217;s starting to get annoying (no offense).<br \/>\nCan&#8217;t wait &#8217;till he asks what kind of &#8216;car&#8217; I &#8216;drive&#8217;. Either I could say &#8220;Ehh, I just use Uber to take me where I need to go&#8221;.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll just tell him I have two feet that can take me anywhere within a mile away (or two, depending on my body), and unfortunately there&#8217;s places I need to go that are much further than that. Pretty sure he&#8217;ll get the hint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s been a day of delays, from my father being too lazy to get up to fix a flat tire on the car (and give it an oil change), to me avoiding playing Beat Saber like the plaque.
