    I want to be that eccentric inventor mouse that always has one of his inventions blow up in his face just as someone knocks on the door, but is overly ecstatic about it.

    This is what a furry in training looks like. You desire a better world, but you realize that such a world is impossible. Then you discover there are other people like you with similar dreams, and that together you can simulate such a world through the internet. Before you know it, you’re role-playing a royal rodent in a chatroom of hundreds of similar-minded creatures.

    And you’re loving it.

        It’s not in the slightest.

        The furry community had a virtual convention called Furality in VRChat last weekend and it was a lot of fun. Round-the-clock DJs during the weekend, meetups, panels, semi-public game instances (restricted to con-goers only, so technically private but effectively public, which is nice because public VRC tends to have anti-fur/lgbt trolls), and more. There were some really cool avatars in the dealer’s dens that did things I didn’t know you could do with avatars. Then there was an eclipse just before the closing ceremony that caused Furality’s site to crash from the wave of furries trying to switch to the eclipse-viewing world (you could see the eclipse from any of the convention worlds, but they had a world specifically for viewing the eclipse).

        Hell, impressively they had a few 250-player instances that actually worked and didn’t immediately crash. They chugged even on high-end PCs, but it’s impressive they got more than 30~40 people into a world and have it still running.

    Imagine having to put all that on every day just to take a stroll in the woods.

    I’m more like the sloth type of person. Nobody expects anything of them other that to do nothing, and everyone gets overly excited when they do anything.
