    I don't consider myself as a newbie, but i still love seeing these types of videos. I've put around 200 hours on Vrchat and i'm already at the Known User rank. I was a desktop user for around a month until i got a quest 2, now i only play it on PCVR. Good part of my time in VRC has been joining conversations, playing some games in it, messing around with my avi and helping new people to have an enjoyable time as well. Even though it's not flawless, the community is awesome and i've been having a blast with this game. Also i do understand why people put more than 2k hours in it.

    I binge watched almost all of your videos and finally got a quest 2 now that it's relatively "cheaper". If you go into Prismic's avatar search, start an invite only instance, get your avatar and then screw around with the settings Phia suggested. My first time on VRchat I didn't play with the settings at all, went into Prismic's avatar search on a decent gaming PC through SteamVR and still, it was too overwhelming. Dip your toe into vrchat on invite only instances and then work on your vr legs. Eagle top avalanche rush world rules!

    Whelp, learned some things about some settings, but the main deal of finding avatars, worlds, and events to get started with is still missing... I've tried looking for avatar worlds and can't really find anything that suits as an identity I can be comfortable in and I've hardly been able to find any worlds that I'd want to spend any time in. Nearly every world seems to be static with nothing to do in them, and "rave clubs" and such aren't my scene. I want to socialize while doing something, just like in RL, not randomly crashing conversations like a crazy person.

    TL:DR id you start with anything but recommended default settings turned down or off, then experiment opening the taps to let the VRChat goodness flow. Just as an example (not as a flex), I use Quest2 wirelessly connected to a PC via Virtual Desktop with a 16Gb 4060Ti and 32Gb RAM and can just about run with all taps open... a full 60 capacity venue rendering 30 avies max at max draw distance with all bells and whistles commands between 25-35fps, although stuttering below 15fps still occurs where many Very Poor avatars in the room. Your device specification and performance will vary which is why it is useful to really get to know and hug your settings. Android [phone] users might like to know that any Android 10 OS with 6Gb device RAM (and a fully charged battery) will get your touch screens in the game, but for best affordable experience for VR newbies, have to say Quest 2 gets your virtual foot in the portal. And then once you're hooked and get reeled in, get ready for some mindblowing visuals.
