Honestly an amazing outfit to actually own haha

It would, but then I'd have to convert to VRM format from VRC and reconfigure blendshapes, shaders, and bones to that format. Seemed too much of a pain for a test out of curiosity, esp since I stream so rarely anyway. That and I keep tweaking the model, so would have to remember to update both

SnowyAria (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧🏳️‍⚧️ @snowyaria.bsky.social · 1d

Even works with my random layout from when I last streamed dozens of blue moons ago

It's not the same if DiceLord isn't saying nonsense in the bottom in between people chatting!

Ohhhh!

Then yes, yes I am~

I'm not sure where the kitty cat part comes from haha

Thank you!! She's a character from a story I was working on at one point, though I got distracted improving her model instead of making the other chars haha. One day maybe, though she's a fun one to play in VR ♥

SnowyAria (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧🏳️‍⚧️ @snowyaria.bsky.social · 1d

Yup, made her in Blender to learn how to make characters for a game engine, then ported her to VR Chat and kept adding features haha.

Looks better in VR proper with full tracking, example here - youtu.be/S1RSRAbq4ZQ

Okay, I had to know...

Apparently VR Chat can render a stream camera with a transparent background and track via webcam now, so with these, I can technically stream my 3D avatar with eye/mouth tracking + Wrinkles...

(really bad playing sample video~)

Not at the moment, just checking it out. But will keep it in mind if I enjoy the whole game!

Since you can cheat, the game is instead being a good worker and aiming to let customers have fun. It's actually a puzzle game where you aim for the best solution.

Last round, I had to call and shift the wall to control the game and give right player mixed sequences and under the river to hit 100%

Tried out Taikyoku Mahjong: Net de Ron! on PS2 since it has adorable art and story mode.

It has a neat setup, where the MC can see through objects a meter away, which made her feel different/abnormal growing up. To get over this, she is set up with a part-time job at a mahjong cafe while in college

"The shock soon faded, and I came back to reality. So Satoe really does know my secret... That I can see through things."

Success!
100% clear
"Hehe! Looks like I did really well!"

It's all about the tower climb, you get it~

Had to do a tiny tweak out of respect for @snowyaria.bsky.social

An edit of the "TOWN and TEMPLE/DUNGEON" diagram from the Diablo Game Concept document, where instead of the dungeon structure going deep underground, it goes up like a tower.

Yup! That way, I can play all the JP-exclusive mahjong games~~

Unfortunately, when you own an automatic table, *someone* has to become a computer~

Using a quiet Sunday morning for some light (mahjong) studying~

A riichi drill book asking about scoring complex hands. Notes on the right reflect the minipoints for each set, followed by point calculation. Hand is a dealer tsumo.
When in doubt, divide minipoints by 2 and add 1 han~

Honestly I had a great time with the challenge earlier, motion controls and all~ More people need to experience it

They don't make games like they used to, nothing quite like the thrill of motion control dragons in a washing machine that's actually really fun

Less motion sick when you're the one driving the dragon car~

Hell yeah

SnowyAria (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧🏳️‍⚧️ @snowyaria.bsky.social · 3d

But the real question...

Is this Japan?

"What, no no, the auto translation software is great! It 100% understood what 'always warm' meant!"

*hits head on desk*

A heated handwarmer with "Persistent Fever" boasted as a selling point

This definitely popped off more than I was thinking, uh oh, now I have to actually consider it haha

The other pitch idea would be a fake travel guide about the best towers to climb in video games, which incidentally would also be 50% why beating Spectral Tower makes you a better person
