My name is BabyJack
I'm a 15 yr IT Specialist and 5 year Junior Environmental Artist recently breaking into Indie Game contract work
I've worked with Translifeline, SNRLabs, and recently BEACON
All my art is human-made and it comes from my artist mind.
You can visit my worlds in @vrchat.com
@vrchat.com's failure to properly address the concerns of World Creators and Artists saddens me deeply. AI generated content not being moderated and cornered off is deeply depressing, especially considering how even companies like Spotify have now marked music as AI.
Uhh our artist forgot to make a thumbnail, so... enjoy this handmade art by Flare.
It's time for the Sept 24 VRChat Dev Update!
Read about our plans for "High Fidelity Face Tracking," Udon Methods for Friend Info, Name Mapped Parameter Buffers & more!

Receiving these kinds of praises and compliments os truly a godssend, you can often get in your own head about how good a set truly was or if people actually enjoyed it. If you liked a set, send the DJ some love, both in the venue and outside of it. It helps a lot.

Seeing my world creator friends get fired up to get back to work, only to get the version of a gutpunch in the artform that they've spent their time and energy perfecting because of AI making it trivially easy to just throw out slop worlds has given me a new hate for AI.
Between this and @evalka.bsky.social 's post
Working on a world for 1-3 months and marketing the ever living fuck out of it just to get 60+ people is so hard
If I have to compete against the wave of growing AI worlds as well I absolutely see no point in building anything here
Me and my friend checked one of these world creators when we saw a club use one of the worlds, and the amount is staggering. 20+ worlds, all the same basic box structure, filled with AI art and textures, that has barely enough interest for a group to use it for a random event.

Humans make the worlds you inhabit, you explore, you gain experiences from. The artist makes the art from which you are moved. When you drown the artist in the refuse of repetition, you'll end up killing the worlds that make people even wanna come, appreciate what the game truly is and can be.
I don't ever want it to end. Another lovely time performing at Leyline, another memory that I'll always remember. Ever since I first saw the world and got to see just how insane @evalka.bsky.social's expression is, I was hooked. Special thanks to @maplethecat0.bsky.social for the 📸
If you stream on Twitch, you are automatically training Amazon models with your content without your consent. You have to choose to opt-out of this. This has been quietly enabled on all channels.
😒
You can't consent while drunk. Assuming your relationship has changed needs to be communicated. You can still bring pain onto others even if you didn't intend for it to become that way. Don't assume. Communicate. Clarify. If you don't do that, you'll always hurt someone.
2TD is not Shelter, Shelter is more than just one person. Not everyone knows what happens in others lives all the times. If you're giving hate to the other Shelter staff who know nothing or want Shelter itself to burn. Then your intentions and desires are maligned. Introspect.
There is something supremely dystopian about "exposing" someone for being rich, cause they eat fast-casual more than once. I'm gonna go to the next culvers and asked for their finest chardonnay and daily special.
Reyov: Vol. 5
Honestly, one of the more fun jungle sets I've done, mixing some of my fave rappers with some wacky experimental jungle was deff a joy.

Leyline: Below The Depths
Not much to be said about this one aside from how much it scratched that ambient itch I've been having for a while.

I do release my mixes on youtube for those who don't know.
I'll be releasing a few mixes over the next few days (non-chronologic).

Pride isn't about showing you know gay people exist. Pride isn't about letting us know we're seen.
We've been seen for years now, and yet violence is still committed onto us, people are killed, fear hangs over us like an evergrowing spectre.
If you see us so well, help us.
I'm proud of who I am, how far I've made it in this horrid world, how much love and community I've seen grow and bloom, even in the asphalt of today.
We are dandelions, a flower loved by the occasional gaze, but culled the moment it enters your pretty garden. Nevertheless we return, every summer.
It's not about inconvenience. It's about knowing I OWN something. Something I can touch and something that suddenly isn't available to me at a moments notice. It's about supporting artists who get pennies per listen. Putting on a vinyl and actually listening, not spamming shuffle.
I have CDs from artists who aren't on streaming platforms. CDs from friends who burnt them as part of a special limited release. CDs that I'd never get my hands on elsewhere cause not everything is on just one streaming platform.
No one deserves to be misgendered or deadnamed. If you think you deserve the right to do so, simply cause they're against your belief, then you're as bad as the transphobes. "Traitors to their own kind" doesn't give you the privilege to remove their rights. Go fuck yourself.
The amount of "Normies" I met in VRChat, who a year or two later walks around in a furry/anime avatar wod surprise most people. Once you have the freedom to explore, you truly figure out who you are and what you wanna present as.
You say "always destined for" but I say
we're just better at it @vrchat.com
And you'd be shocked to find out how normal it is to embody something extended as yourself in a waffle house. Anime, Furry.
The narrative is be yourself.
What do you have to lose.
:3c
People who didn't expect there to be avatar limitations on instances are also people who stop on train tracks and get surprised when a train drives into them.
Genocide wins in silence. Do not keel over to a government that is already intent on killing you. History rarely repeats, but it does rhyme. Don't die in silence.
Nothing pisses me off more than seeing trans people pretend activists are the reason for transphobia instead of billionaires funding anti-trans propaganda..
You’re not “one of the good ones” and you’ll end up in the same camps as us because FASCISTS HATE ANYONE WHO BREAK THE REPRODUCTIVE APPARATUS
A growing desire in me is to find some way to perform a DJ set out in the woods, I know it's a thing and I could easily do it if I just get some extra things. I also wonder how I could take that set into something like VRC to explore that experience.
Forest raves and performances have always intruiged me, something in me desperately wants to just listen to music, let the trees rustle and the spund carry through the trees. The electronic mixing with the organic.
The amount of times that I lost my breath this set just listening to the wonderful music and watching the stunning visuals is immeasurable. Very few worlds has made me stop up in a conversation in awe of how stunning it can be. I can't wait to see and experience more.
Today, I finally did something I've been wanting to do for over half a year, to the game that saved my life and the people who've given me the reasons to keep living it.
The Outer Wilds tribute ending to my post-ambient set at Leyline.

NFC is finally over, and while I didn't get to do everything I wanted, I got to meet so many lovely people and took lots of pics of beautiful suits. I might share them here eventually.
