Tbh I'm not particularly inclined toward visual art so what I say may not make perfect sense to someone who is. Plus I had to cut several words to fit into 2 posts. I wanted to say "fancy smooth shading" among other things. Point is, you don't need to have Frieren-level "quality" to have good art.

Your art conveys fun and cozy vibes. Ok so it doesn't have shading, or highlights, or smooth and uniform curves. Those can be learned, and aren't even important anyway. Learn them if you want, or keep your style. Doesn't matter. Some will always hate your work anyway. But some will always like it.

Hi. I don't know you, I've never seen your art before, and I spent all of 30 seconds looking.
And I think you should keep drawing.
Quality doesn't exist in REAL art. It's not meant to be bad or good. It's meant to convey something. What I saw was cute, whimsical, even gremlin-coded at times. 1/2

Best possible response. Something I always say is, "if it starts with java OR ends with script, it's no bueno."
Ironically, JS is where I have most of my experience T_T

Reason 17 on why I asked them to let me cap the friend count and instead offer a separate acquaintance list with no real-time update features (because they're EXPENSIVE perf wise) when I worked there.

Well it's a good thing we're talking about VRChat, a UNITY game written in C#, rather than an ordinary app. I reiterate once again. It's easier for VRC to keep content porting to Frame than to desktop Linux. That's why we won't get Linux unless they pull the same (difficult) Android->iOS shenanigan.

Do I look like AI, moron? And hallucinating what?! The architecture, the CPU architecture, is the same. Android and Frame's SteamOS are both ARM64. They are also both using a Linux kernel. It'll be far easier to port Android/Quest to Frame and keep existing content than from Windows to x86 Linux.

Technically yes VRChat, by the same logic, can make a Linux port of the Windows version, being both x86, but they're fundamentally different operating systems, whereas Quest, SteamOS (Frame), and Android are all Linux. And that means more adjustments AND having no content for the ported-to platform.

Android, as far as app developers are concerned, is nothing but an alias for "ARM Linux". The Frame's SteamOS may not be a direct derivation of Android, but it has the same architecture. It takes only a few modifications to port a game from Quest to Steam Frame.

Already have that, in the form of the Quest and phone-Android versions. It'll be simple for them to adjust those for distribution on the Steam Frame. They might even have already done it and it could just be waiting for the Frame's release.

Oh, and the main thing breaking VRChat on Linux isn't even VRChat. I tried it on Bazzite and it worked just fine. It's the GPU driver not properly supporting reprojection which causes bad VR rendering problems.

The Steam Frame is far closer to Android (ARM64) than it is desktop Linux (x86-64). It's easier to adjust the Quest version and keep all the Android content than it is to rebuild the Win version and lose all content. Or they could pull the Android->iOS play for Win->Linux. Still very hard to do.

Were both very borked. Room Setup could be run by basically launching Steam inside a virtual downgraded Fedora/mesa version to get through it, and switching back to normal after. But reprojection is so broken you see afterimages of everything if you get below 45fps. Almost there, but not enough. 2/2

1. Despite the immense popularity of stupidity these days, intelligence still outnumbers it rather handily. So if everyone had a perfectly equal say, progress would still be made.
2. Were education properly handled (like if #1 came true), stupidity wouldn't be popular and few would be undeserving.
