- Unfortunately not one of the built in tags but it's used by folks for drinky/clinky glass stuff or other vfx! wiki.vrchat.com/index.php?ti...
- Does the bottle have the Cheers tag?
- entering the "I am no longer asking" era for avatar optimization

- 60 Layers on a stock base is insane. I had no idea it was that bad in the wild ~ I've pushed 30+ & felt that was already horrid. Animator.layerCount being a metric/rank on avatars would probably be useful for casual users & it not being invisible would pressure creators to do better.

- Replied out on the go, mb. That wasn't what I was going for ~ If they're nuking your frames ofc hide. Problem is finding them at all in a sea of okay-ish-vpoors. Can't hide all vpoors in casual hangouts so size limits is decent tool at catching these absurd Vpoors before they hit your frame time.
- Ivy Zeni isn't real. + Wing transparency.
- i am somewhat sympathetic to people saying "but i don't know how" so here are some things you can do if you're an idiot, like me

- Modular avatar can also delete polys with Mesh Cutter! modular-avatar.nadena.dev/docs/referen...
- Perf rank has its flaws (eg: Can make a green ranked cpu nightmare with animators or vpoor due to +1 poly) Vpoor is such a bottomless pit so outside clubs I rely on hiding by size limits instead. download 50 MB & uncompressed 150 MB catches most nightmare Vpoors.
- Bluesky what is that link wtf
- Shinano Catsuit release! #ZeniStore Animated Colors, lots of Shapekeys, and a cat pattern! zenithval.booth.pm/items/7914465 🐈 #VRChat #BOOTH ✨
- Smug cats. Soon™
- A Zeni in the wind~ 🌹 #VRChat
- Milltina gets her own Catsuit! #ZeniStore zenithval.booth.pm/items/7769196 Full color control and Shapekey support! #booth_pm #VRChat
- Using Poiyomi Global Themes and masks to be less than 18 MB of VRAM. Auto deletes body mesh underneath. The heels can be toggled too! Beautiful lil' pose animations by Tuxedopato! booth.pm/en/items/761... Song ~ Far Apart by AirGlow
- Base stations please don't die out

- I like banana on pizza thank u
- 2018 vs 2025. Show your #VRChat before & after photos! A lot stuck around for me!
- Drop a "then vs now" of your avatar from when you first got into #VRChat
- Does a standardized naming convention/list for VRChat contact Collision Tags exist? Would love if creators got together and assembled one so prop interactions across different avatars were more likely.
- [Not loaded yet]
- I'd assume creators would add any tag that applies to their prop. (You can have to 16!) The universally generic ones having the highest importance while the more niche ones end up for bespoke setups. I've been doing senders on my props like this for a loooong time.

- A handful of the combat stuff I've seen in the wild (Weapon, Melee, Fire) but a lot of this comes from my personal avatars and ones I've done for comms. Gotta start somewhere!

- What if your liquid is gasoline? That’s flammable! But I see your point lol. I have to figure out a defining line for niche vs universal generics. Armor would definitely be niche as heck.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Still useful! Added to the list.
- I concluded one doesn't exist publicly, so I started one! zenithval.notion.site/Standardized...

- So is this more of a manually/purposefully scheduled file history? I've been using the built in Windows one for a few years now. Has saved my butt occasionally.
- When lightning strikes nearby (without a power outage) while I’m in VR, all of my tracking drifts for a moment in the direction AWAY from the sound that follows. (Or grey screens) My assumption has been that the EMP from the lightning messes with infrared. Nature so cool aaaaA.

- The tracking offset happens with the flash ~ before the sound & vibrations arrive. It's sometimes a good few countable seconds. So it's something moving light speed.

- Recommend RATs & MACs to fill some gaps! Been using them for years. They're compatible with one another and RATs is open source. I believe they tried to avoid feature overlap with CE before so this'll be a turning point. github.com/rrazgriz/RATS mcardellje.gumroad.com/l/macs

- I saw a cursed avatar a bit ago that baked frames of a blender cloth sim to shapekeys just to have a realistic wacky inflatable tube man.

- If you’re doing this for VSF or warudo avatars, check out Denormalized avatar exporter to skip the VRM import/expoet pain. docs.hai-vr.dev/docs/product...
- This label exists but we can't self apply it. It can only be applied by moderation? Why? github.com/bluesky-soci...
- Weekend Oblivion meme avatar actually turned out stupid good. I baked the lighting on the armor as vertex color.

- You need the Spout OBS plugin. spout.zeal.co I don't think Streamlabs OBS supports plugins unfortunately.
- It was added last year with Spout support. Try it out. docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-... Even supports multiple outputs at the same time.
