Ayy nice to see third person is finally out, been using this for a while on the beta whenever I'm on desktop. I also appreciate that the current accessories aren't time limited, I'm hoping we'll see more permanent items like these...

Heres to hoping the performance group gating has a ripple effect causing overall more performant avatars when in public lobbies etc.

Finally avatar performance group gating is here, yay. Btw question: can this be set mid event, or do you have to create the instance with this option from the start?

> "your did it!" but in scale form! My brain really wants me to read this as "Scaleform" (a UI framework), which I'm pretty sure is long dead. 😅

Are avatar accessories going to be part of the creator economy, or are they going to be VRC-only like inventory items?

...accessories feel a bit unneeded, but some stuff is reasonable. (..,maybe mot te heavy sanitization of avatars, though. just saying.)
