What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be? - eviltoast

For me it’s driving while under the influence. If you couldn’t tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can’t fathom. I’ve only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

    Started to get into this, and the tutorials are always saying to be mindful of the limits and optimise your stuff. I always had a feeling that there’s no way that everything I’ve seen fits in those limits, but hearing that most people don’t even try is saddening.

      Depends on the type of model it is, a lot of the time. Anime egirl/eboy-styled avatars tend to be some of the worst offenders (often kitbashers who don’t know any better), while furry avatars tend to be really well optimized most of the time.

      If you aim for medium, that’s generally sufficient.

      VRChat has this bizzare culture where people just refuse to watch tutorials. A lot of them can only learn anything if some unfortunate soul guides them through it step by step. Most of the time they’ll learn the absolute bare minimum, then never learn anything else. It’s so weird and I’ve spent years trying to understand it.
