<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nThe Black Cat seems to be one of the public worlds that seems to be pushed to new users – its on the top of the Hot list. First impressions? There appear to be a lot of children in this room and occasionally some toxic users: eg: once my avatar happened to be a stick of butter. Some guys came up to me and said \u201chehe let\u2019s get that stick of butter, let\u2019s get rid of it\u201d and next thing you know my VRchat has been crashed by them, maybe by loading models with attachments that cause overload\/crashing. This was Day 2 of me really being on VRchat btw. Main features? There\u2019s a stage which often is used by players to sing whilst other players comment on said singing. And boy, do people love to sing…<\/span><\/p>\nTakeaway: People loooove to sing on a stage. Even if no one is listening.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n2: Mega Map 20 in 1 by Ms\u2024 Dance (93.55 MB)<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dbbd.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/VRChat_1920x1080_2022-02-20_16-54-59.944-1024x576.png\")

I went here to see if it was about London UK or London Canada because VRC does seem pretty North America centric so far (have i just been a dumdum and clicked on the US worlds?) Anyway now I am no longer surprised when I click on “London” but its accidentally Ontario -_- To be honest, its been weird entering rooms full of people with American accents. Its a foreign country for me. Probably because I do have a Singaporean accent (with probably some influence of a London accent) most of the times people ask me where I am from and some have even asked me to spell “Singapore” to them. Anyway, this room is meant to look like a fancy condo with a pool table, balcony, and panoramic backdrop of London. Oh and rain sounds again of course, because that’s what people dig.<\/span><\/p>\nTakeaway: People want to pretend to live in a customisable aspirational condo in central London overlooking Tower Bridge.<\/em><\/p>\n4: VRC World Jam 2 Obstacle Course Time Trials by vrchat (9.69 MB)<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dbbd.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/VRChat_1920x1080_2022-02-20_16-37-53.866-1024x576.png\")

<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nComing it at UNDER a stunning 10MB is this demo scene from VRchat themselves. I was impressed when I played it, and then I was even more impressed to find out the world is less than 10MB. Wow. I can definitely see the appeal of building a while obstacle course game in it. although I can’t realistically chat to people whilst completing the obstacle course of it. But there’s definitely something to talk about after. But most of the time people were just talking about timescores. So it wasn’t so social for me. This type of competitive world\/game seems to attract a lot of blokes and children. Lots of Americans and lots of guys. Yeah, I can’t help but say it was a really gendered experience.<\/span><\/p>\nTakeaway: One could build a whole game inside VRC.

Every 2 minutes you get a new person to chat too. If you want to stop, you walk out of the door. There’s a wall where you can indicate what you’re interested in. Compared to other worlds I’ve been in which simply had a lot of males or underaged children, this world seems to attract a lot more “she\/her” and “they\/them” users and contemplative software dev people. I met some really lovely people in here who were also really up to chat. Although two minutes was sometimes not long enough. Now I will never know the truth of what unknownuser’s yellow pet snake had eaten by mistake.<\/span><\/p>\nFunny enough, someone told me “FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO DID NOT TICK THE “WORKAHOLIC” BOX!” Sorry gurl I was here on my lunchbreak from work.

First impressions? There appear to be a lot of children in this room and occasionally some toxic users: eg: once my avatar happened to be a stick of butter. Some guys came up to me and said \u201chehe let\u2019s get that stick of butter, let\u2019s get rid of it\u201d and next thing you know my VRchat has been crashed by them, maybe by loading models with attachments that cause overload\/crashing. This was Day 2 of me really being on VRchat btw. Main features? There\u2019s a stage which often is used by players to sing whilst other players comment on said singing. And boy, do people love to sing…<\/span><\/p>\n Takeaway: People loooove to sing on a stage. Even if no one is listening.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n This is a huge mega map of grand looking spaces (bars\u201a library\u201a casino\u201a caves\u201a church\u201a dance club\u201a dragon fight arena\u201a entertainment pit\u201a sakura garden\u201a inn\u201a lobby\u201a lockers\u201a medieval\u201a lounge\u201a portals\u201a ranch\u201a runway\u201a space station\u201a study\u201a and a tower). The spaces are not lit and rather badly textured, by which I mean the texture images have been so compressed that they are completely distorted. “THIS PASSES MUSTER FOR IMMERSIVITY?” one might say. Please, look at HOW pixelated that TV is.\u00a0 But hey, 20 mega venues in one. Don’t squint too hard for this one. It won’t get any clearer. Help. I can’t unblur it.<\/span><\/p>\n Takeaway: Some people just don’t care about seeing any detail in VR.<\/em><\/p>\n I went here to see if it was about London UK or London Canada because VRC does seem pretty North America centric so far (have i just been a dumdum and clicked on the US worlds?) Anyway now I am no longer surprised when I click on “London” but its accidentally Ontario -_- To be honest, its been weird entering rooms full of people with American accents. Its a foreign country for me. Probably because I do have a Singaporean accent (with probably some influence of a London accent) most of the times people ask me where I am from and some have even asked me to spell “Singapore” to them. Anyway, this room is meant to look like a fancy condo with a pool table, balcony, and panoramic backdrop of London. Oh and rain sounds again of course, because that’s what people dig.<\/span><\/p>\n Takeaway: People want to pretend to live in a customisable aspirational condo in central London overlooking Tower Bridge.<\/em><\/p>\n Coming it at UNDER a stunning 10MB is this demo scene from VRchat themselves. I was impressed when I played it, and then I was even more impressed to find out the world is less than 10MB. Wow. I can definitely see the appeal of building a while obstacle course game in it. although I can’t realistically chat to people whilst completing the obstacle course of it. But there’s definitely something to talk about after. But most of the time people were just talking about timescores. So it wasn’t so social for me. This type of competitive world\/game seems to attract a lot of blokes and children. Lots of Americans and lots of guys. Yeah, I can’t help but say it was a really gendered experience.<\/span><\/p>\n Takeaway: One could build a whole game inside VRC. But competitive games also likely attract certain users.<\/em><\/p>\n Okay, so it seems people are really into this comfy-sleepy-galaxy-room-in-the-rain sort of schtick. There are common items like pillows, pencils, mirrors, lights, fireplaces, newspapers, and a pool table that no one can seem to operate properly. I’ve now seen many of this type of rooms (even prior to when I started documenting it with screenshots). I can’t say I am a fan, but okay whatever.<\/span><\/p>\n Takeaway: People like galaxy backgrounds and pencils and rain sounds. And a mirror.<\/em><\/p>\n This is someone’s Unity experiment I walked into whilst randomly clicking on Community Labs. Created on Tuesday. Its not complete, but hey, its a world of mushrooms. There’s a chicken which falls through the floor every few seconds and the lighting isn’t even right but ALRIGHT.<\/span><\/p>\n Takeaway: Yes you can make any randomly half-built unity project into a VRC project.<\/em><\/p>\n I liked this one, it is simple in execution. You’re on a moving train (by which it means the trains are just moving under you forever) and there is a city in the background. Sometimes a white dove flies by and everyone in the train gets excited. Its like a retro dream city and oh of course it is raining again.<\/span><\/p>\n Takeaway: Retro Dream City Train in the Rain. Some more common tropes emerging. Capitalising on retro cliches and nostalgia for millenials, 90s aesthetics on ghibli dream trains….<\/em><\/p>\n I really liked this one. Its like Omegle for VRchat. You sign up for the matchmaking, you get assigned someone to chat to in a room for 2 minutes. Every 2 minutes you get a new person to chat too. If you want to stop, you walk out of the door. There’s a wall where you can indicate what you’re interested in. Compared to other worlds I’ve been in which simply had a lot of males or underaged children, this world seems to attract a lot more “she\/her” and “they\/them” users and contemplative software dev people. I met some really lovely people in here who were also really up to chat. Although two minutes was sometimes not long enough. Now I will never know the truth of what unknownuser’s yellow pet snake had eaten by mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n Funny enough, someone told me “FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO DID NOT TICK THE “WORKAHOLIC” BOX!” Sorry gurl I was here on my lunchbreak from work. And visiting 100 VRC worlds is kinda like me tryna hit my personal goals for personal work. I was just too busy working to even tick the workaholic box.<\/span><\/p>\n Takeaway: Interesting to set constraints and rules for chatting.<\/em><\/p>\n Why City-35? It turns out the file size is 35MB. And at 35MB this plot is impressively big. But also very very pixelated. But as we’ve seen with the earlier worlds, who cares about detail!
