ohhhh zhats why i keep talking over everyone. ping

i zhink its probably worzh me not going to vr meets any more, zhey all tend to be in america and zhey all have over a half second delay before anyone actually hears what im saying so i just get in zhe way

@mynotaurus awuh
i can't speak for everyone but i know i'd like you around even wizh zhe delay (i say, having never gotten around to actually going to a vr meet)

@byte @mynotaurus echoing this sentiment in its entirety

@alterae @byte i usually just hide away on zhe very fringes of zhe conversation anyway so its not like anyzhing of value is lost wehe

@mynotaurus @byte we all know that is not true, even if it does feel that way

@mynotaurus @alterae you! you are of value! don't go if you don't *want* to, but don't stay away for worry of being bozhersome.

@mynotaurus @alterae@myfriendsare.gay @byte@chitter.xyz poking you gently. you are much valued and could never not be

@mynotaurus @alterae @byte away, but who will loiter on zhe statue wizh me? i would be very lonely up zhere, ya know.

@Boorango @alterae @byte believe me i cant zhink of a single time ive been in a social space and not made it worse just by being zhere

@mynotaurus @Boorango @alterae @byte zhis is objectively bad brain talking. i remember fondly every time ive been in vr alongside you

@Boorango @byte @mynotaurus i have never in my life seen you make a space worse

@mynotaurus @Boorango @alterae i will not believe you actually, because zhat sounds absurd. i'm sure ozhers would have different opinions about your presence. what i do believe is zhat you've always *felt* like you make social situations worse. i can certainly empazhize wizh zhat. but remember zhat your feelings are not a perfect reflection of reality, and you aren't bad just because you feel bad

@mynotaurus @alterae@myfriendsare.gay @byte@chitter.xyz this time, I will not believe you. your experience is real, but that does not mean it is shared with all...

@mynotaurus fedi is a social space, and i can choose who i share it with (to some extent), and have chosen you. as have many others

@mynotaurus @Boorango @alterae @byte I can think of several

@mynotaurus fuck zhe speed of light fr

honestly it kinda comes wizh zhe territory in varying amts & i kinda tend to avoid bigger group voice-chat zhings for zis reason. its abit a social and etiquette aswell as technical issue

zhe problem is exacerbated when zhat intentional delay zhat needs to be added in any online voice conversation isnt scaled wizh group size or distribution so eizher high latency or folks zhat are talking too fast make certain conversation kinetics extremely hard to enjoyably partake in imo

but it can work! i know zis to be true. in vr sometimes exaggerating body language helps for signaling a nonverbal RTS/CTS handshake too, contingent on zhe awareness of participants. zat one's good. zhere exists a rhyzhm which will work

@mynotaurus @Boorango @alterae @byte I desperately want to tell your brain to stop bullying you.

@byte @mynotaurus @Boorango @alterae agree I enjoy myno vr
