LordCrash and sadly 0% of them are a Raw Taboo scene. We just need to have more Raw Taboo scenes but not random models, those scenes has to be with models who can play the role. You can cast people from ManyVids for example. They are great roleplayers and can nail the dirty talk. Otherwise most "taboo" scenes are vanilla and not taboo at all.
SLR Party Riots

I think SLR is betting too much on PT. Honestly I did try it, and I think it's cool and all but it's a gimmick in the end, and really hard to actually enjoy all positions. I also thought old PT scenes with the guy body not in green were also useless because it kills immersion and PT, yet these are loved?!
The only position you can really align is cowgirl or reverse cowgirl and that's about it.
Tried to align myself spending 20min in settings with missionary and doggie, and I couldn't.
Reason is, Simsense isn't that good of a producer because the default distance/angle for doggie and missionary are not realistic at all, and because the video is not rendered in 3D (obviously), you cannot really move it as much as you want.
Example, if you try to actually try to be "on top" of the girl, then it would be like she is going up and down, through the bed, every stroke
Also another reason, in missionary or doggie, you will move a lot more the body than in cowgirl, which makes the girl move and unalign every stroke.
While it works great in cowgirl, it makes it a bit limited and in the end, having a black & white setting of my apartment isn't worth all the hassle.
@doublevr thinks problem is because it's not in color and blurry that for now it's a gimmick but I HIGHLY doubt Q3 will change much what people already think about PT. I myself think it's a great idea, but not the future nor a replacement for actual VR scenes.
I wouldn't trust much on the likes of the scene to know if PT is good or not. Lately their PT casting is amazing, and I myself enjoy watching them without PT too.
These likes make no sense because Simsense guy is quite a terrible director compared to Onthetelly or Alex Nash: many scenes the girl is not looking at the camera and only 1 eye. Britt Blair scene is unwatchable yet it gets lots of likes. Why, that's a mystery?
If such poor producing happened with Alex Mack (which I don't like either), people would have trashed his scenes. Proof that people actually liking these scenes are not die hard porn fans like we are, pestering about every small issue and will just be here for the "wow effects". And it won't last, even with Q3.
If @doublevr finds a way for the girl to correctly align with my dick AUTOMATICALLY with every position, and not falling through the ground every time I move my hips, THEN I'll be impressed. For now, it's like the dynamic island on the iPhone 14 Pro: good but useless
doublevr Great news
that's the plan for our machine learning team
So I get indefinitely suspended for sharing a tweet that was requested by another user.. in this thread..

Nice, great stuff.
I hope you strive to improve things despite silencing criticism.
Even with your updated description, I didn't do any of these things:
-(unprovoked) aggression
-acting in bad faith
-being explicitly disrespectful

sylvanussircharles you posted pre-edited version of the tweet to fuel a drama.
There's no evidence slr did anything wrong on that matter, but that's not something you are looking for.
We are respectful people here, some of visitors aren't. Learn to be respectful or leave for good.
It's one thing to ask things, it's another thing to harass people and company without even having a reason
And keep in mind there are cases with a plaintiff is the one being wrong.
doublevr why is it then that other studios can put out scene after scene with a level of consistency (in technical aspects) and SLRO scenes vary wildly? Certainly seems like they’re all using experienced, proficient people rather than releasing scenes by complete novices.
On the flipside of that, if you are going to go throw people in the deep end and let them learn on the job, why get rid of them after only a couple of scenes? Why not give them a chance to actually learn on the job, to take on board people’s feedback and get better rather than getting another novice in and starting from scratch again? Stan may not have been perfect in his early attempts (hardly surprising when he’d literally never directed anything before) but maybe he’d have improved with time. Instead he’s gone after a handful of scenes and you have to start again with someone else.
petermc maybe because production is hell of a job and consistency is often a case for generic stuff.
Every studio goes through ups and downs over time.
We try to figure out and boost SLR quality. It's clear that Alex Mack production isn't doing that great and it might be a good point to stop and give Sensemedia more production
doublevr I posted the initial tweet that was requested for context, yes..
Please show me where I have been disrespectful.
You have made the decision for me to leave for good.
Where did I harass the company/ppl?
Otherswise we are actively looking for production lead.
@doublevr here is an "analysis" why regular VR scenes fail to get likes as PT scenes. PT watchers only want one thing and it is scene being a PT. That's it. They don't care the about models, outfits, roleplay or even dirty talk. If it is a PT scene the userbase who is targetted will like the scene because that already satisfied them. For now, it seem like a good deal because it is new and there is a hardcore userbase in SLR for it but in long term it will damage the brand but I will not go deep into now you can discuss it with your internal team.
For regular scene, recent SLR Originals has been the same. Meet up your girlfriends, get fully naked, same script from models because of directors lack of directions. Only model changes in SLR Originals scenes and everything is the same. How much do you have to produce something same to understand people are bored of it? It is not something creative or immersive it is the same thing but with different models.
For immersion, focus on topics like roleplay, good eye contact, intimate reaction from models. Hell, I've saying a lot in different times, there is a need in industry for a good taboo VR content and currently no one is producing it as what customers want. A taboo scene should include great roleplay, dirty talk with the given role (not the same dirty talk that given in vanilla scenes) and model's dedication to role. Can you point me a video you recently produced that satisfy this conditions? I think not. And as you can see this is an "idea" that is creative since no one is currently producing it in the VR sector. As I said before, if regular models are not confortable for such roles as a stepsister for example, there is dozens of models on ManyVids or OnlyFans that are great roleplayers and can nail the dirty talk during the act. I'm not saying only ManyVids models are capable of doing such roles, it is your cast director's responsibility to select the models depending on the plot. You can't distinguish a stepsister video that SLR produced with a vanilla scene because of plot, dirty talk and role is the same as other vanilla scenes and then be surprised to see why the current decisions fails .
doublevr Every studio goes through ups and downs over time.
Hard disagree. Most other studios have been improving slowly over time. They are consistent and you know exactly what you're going to get from them. SLR is the opposite. Even if ignoring PT and my opinion of it, SLR Originals is about the only studio that has regressed in terms of overall production quality.

If we'd get one SLRO VR scene each week on the level of quality of Nash's newest VRSpy scene with Madison and Layla there would be zero complaints around here. ZERO.

The few users here that are dismissing the number of likes metric in order to downplay the popularity of PT is quite staggering. Melody Marks getting +20k likes in VR is completely fine and quotable it seems but when another PT performer receives a high number of likes then all of a sudden it is not a valid metric lol.
I am not speaking for all PT aficionados, however for me it's about scaling. This is something many of you seem to speak about in the comments of PT and non PT videos and on the board. So for PT, I enjoy positioning the dick of the male talent with where my dick is and then I get to see a sense of the girl whoever it is as she would appear in real life. I can never quite achieve that in non PT. Now I know more about Willow's beautiful ass than I ever did before, and I also know a bit more about the size of Lily Lou's new boobs when I fantasise about fucking her.
In the recent Willow Ryder scene, Simense were thoughtful enough to use a dick that would be considered in the normal range, so you don't have to position your dick with a huge porn dick. Please give credit where it's due.
With respect to the other positions other than cowgirl and reverse-cowgirl. Yes I agree with the comments and yet none of you said that you could easily switch the pass through off and that would resolve your problem. Many of you just want to focus on the negatives because ultimately you want to see PT gone.
Finally, SLR are cutting edge and visionaries. Please don't dismiss that. We need that in this space. Porn has been stagnant for too long. As far as I can see there is only one company innovating and trying something new and that is SLR.
Amen, related to this today I rewatched Modern Relationship for the fifth time. Masterpiece scenes are those that age like fine wine and warrant rewatching. If a "rewatch" metric exists on SLRO, it would be quite informative...
LordCrash I haven’t seen said scene but I’ll assume it is good. We should be able to manage more than one a week though. Wankz/POVR manage to put 4 scenes out every week across their 3 studios and you can pretty much guarantee they’ll all be technically sound. They’re not all masterpieces but you know they’ll be watchable and well made. I don’t need every scene to be a masterpiece, it’s just porn at the end of the day, not Shakespeare. I just want them to be consistently good and then, when the stars align we get some special ones.
I literally go into every SLRO scene at the moment with bated breath, hoping it will be ok but there’s usually issues with them and I include Alex Nash’s scenes in that. I’ve heard his VRSpy stuff is better which begs the question why?

I've been loving what VRB has been doing over the last year in terms of quality and variety using all of their sub-sites (vrbangers, vrconk, vrbtrans, etc) to fuel their main aggregator site (vrporn.com). Any thoughts from SLR on ever doing anything other than vanilla scenes? It seems like everyone is arguing about passthough lately, but I think the variety (for both model type and scenarios) has really dropped off. It's been very, very, vanilla for a while now here as far as the SLR originals go.
