How extremely exciting that VRChat via SteamVR isn't working for me because *checks logs* it can't authenticate me with the Epic Games Store, apparently?

THIS
I've literally done work for projects who have sent me like, cell phone/webcam microphone recordings of them giving a sample read to demonstrate tone/pace, or clarify direction or just show me a scene with placeholder audio so I have the visual

This is literally normal practice
"We're only using AI as placeholder dialogue, to get a sense for how it'd sound with voices"

Why?? Literally why??? You could grab the shittiest laptop microphone and DO that
"I think it's fine to use AI for concepting as long as it doesn't make it into the final game" is a statement that will never fail to set me off

play the hayseed knight. it has artistic quality beyond what you can imagine!!!!
I'm a solo dev. I was the sole provider of my homestead. I spent somewhere between 20k-30k USD over 7 years just in voice acting because I BELIEVED in it. I gave voice actors reasons to believe in my projects and directed some of the best performances in indie games

There's literally no excuse

Being a small team is no excuse. Especially if your early access game goes gangbusters. Especially if nobody in-house has experience with this kind of thing. There's amazing VA directors are out there *right now* you could hire.

I'm staring DIRECTLY at the Jump Space devs right now.

After being forced to "upgrade" to Win 11, I find @microsoft.com Dragon Naturally Speaking won't work unless I upgrade to 16 for $700. Without Dragon, it took me 15 min. to type this. So, I have no choice. God bless disability tax. Beware, fellow disabled peeps.

Not to pivot from something sour, but if the fact you think I'm too busy, or don't have the time to approach me via DMs on Discord.

Do it anyway.

I may be busy at the time but I'll do my best to hit back and tell you what works to try and make things happen.

Just talk to me! I'll make time.

Failure to return the shopping cart to one of the cart returns if you are able is a sign of someone who does not value the social contract.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

My current headache with VRChat avatars is with avatars that have a lot of in-game customization options.

I have yet to find any kind of reasonable way to extract the params from the in-game customization back out so that I can apply/preview them in Unity.

The funny moment in the dealer's den, wearing a crop top that shows off the bellynips while standing in front of a booth with a piece of art where they censored out the bellynips with a stickynote

We now have doors AND windows. It lets a lot of light into the front foyer and lobby! This way, people can see work getting done as they pass by. If you're ever in the area, don't be afraid to ask for a tour!

Portland ICE CHUDs do a totally unprovoked rain of chemical munitions on a peaceful crowd so they can make a propaganda film, whatever.

But of course they also teargas the Portland PD including a police car off across the street.

PPD learning that they can't be nazi enough to make the nazis happy

Create ERP with your friends. Just do it. Nobody can stop you.
People will fuck an AI trained on stolen work before they accept that erotic roleplay with a friend is healthier, more genuine, and a creativity boost.
Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
