fenderwq Did you actually read my post or only the first senence?

Surely doesn't sound that way...

I know that AR and passthrough are about you being real you in the scene. That's what I actually explained in my post. That's the whole issue indeed since I don't necessarily desire to be real me in a porn scene, I want to be somebody else. But not watching somebody else, BE somebody else. You know, like role-playing, you get into a role, another character, an alter ego. That's what VR is all about for me and that's the difference to AR which does everything to convince you that stuff happens in your real world to yourself as your real self while VR is about fantasies that could happen to whomever you'd wanna be in a fantasy world in which everything is possible...

      fenderwq But hey, variety is the spice of life and I love the prospect of pushing VR into next levels of immersion.

      I don't know how often it needs to be repeated for everyone to finally understand but passthrough isn't an evolution of VR, it's AR/MR and therefore something entirely else.

      Passthrough doesn't push VR into anything, it's not even VR in the first place...

          LordCrash yup.

          I’ll take well-produced former every time. It’s what we were getting here a year ago. Lots of it. Now it’s this larger quantity of lesser. I really hope we revert. Like I said above, that’s the stuff that made this Site of the Year. I seriously doubt what we’ve seen the last few months will get SLR there again.

          I’ve got a lifetime sub, so I’m stuck with where things go regardless — all I can do at this point is express my disdain. If I were on an annual or monthly, I’d seriously be reconsidering ending my subscription right now. I wonder how membership looks in six months if things continue this way.

              argyle43 Well, I do agree that the passthrough stuff is a bit gimmicky right now. The scale is still not right. I applaud SLR for trying something different.

                argyle43 I agree with everything you have said. I want to add that they keep scripting the 3 guys one girl or the passthrough stuff instead of the Nash scene 3somes. There are 2 now just waiting to be scripted.

                Before an SLR member says they have nothing to do with it. I going to need more than "trust me dude" to convince me that SLR doesn't say "hey why don't you script that new passthrough video next"
                The last passthrough video came out with the script so obviously they get the videos ahead of time.

                    rerun119 I’m not a scripter but I have attempted to do some, it can be draining doing them, I’m thankful for what gets scripted by hand quite honestly compared to the automated stuff that other sites have done, RealCucumber is awesome, I’ve purchased a lot of the scripts he’s made even before he moved to SLR

                        OpeningThng19 I love RealCucumber's scripts. I'm just frustrated with SLR pushing all this passthrough sh*t. That is not what I signed up for. So when I see that it is getting all the attention including scripts, it seems further and further from 2021 good videos.
                        I sign on to see what is new that I can watch. First look at the new SLR releases. Can't watch that cause I don't even have passthrough. Next cross my fingers that maybe there is a new scripted video. Nope just a new SLR scripted passthrough video.
                        If SLR is going to keep making green stuff then my last hope is that a script of something Nash did is done.
                        Again tonight back to Nash 2021 SCRIPTED

                          LordCrash seems I did read it somewhat quickly, sorry about that.
                          I guess it's a matter of preference though. Some like to roleplayen (like you), some like to sell the illusion off being the guy in the scene as much as possible (the idea of fucking that girl yourself), some like both (like me). Seems like preference to me but I guess that's your point. And yeah fucking hot girls irl is always more fun but not always practical or possible (also, even the best girl won't suck you off for 30min every night and I have yet to meet that guy who has had a mffff+). To be fair though, passthrough being rather gimmicky at the moment, all my favourite scenes are still non passthrough.

                          Also, I doubt we will be shooting greenscreens for very long anyways. More likely we will have alpha maps to be able to toggle between passthrough and regular VR and body in body out somewhere in the nearish future.

                          Still, I think experimenting with things like passthrough will get us closer to the next level of VR/MR porn in the future and personally I'm always excited to try out new experiences. I see it as part of the puzzle so to speak. Similar to technologies like better haptics, volumetric video, etc. I doubt that we will watch only regular sbs VR porn in 5 years.

                              fenderwq I doubt that we will watch only regular sbs VR porn in 5 years.

                              People said that about 2d porn 10 years ago. Still watching it though, pretty much every day...

                                I have to agree with your thoughts on the future of AR. I believe in the near future we'll see computer generated AI companions that we interact with. Something similar to what was displayed in "Blade Runner II" but we'll need AR goggles to see and interact with them.

                                  I’ve seen a few people (and I’m paraphrasing here) saying stuff like “yeah, it’s kind of gimmicky and doesn’t look great right now but I applaud them for trying new things”.

                                  My thoughts are this. I subscribed to a professional porn site to see well made professionally produced VR porn. I didn’t sign up for scenes that look bad while they experiment with things. That’s what you do behind the scenes, not what you release to paying customers expecting high quality professional content.

                                  James Cameron didn’t throw a crappy amateurish looking version of Avatar out years before the technology was ready and expect people to pay to watch it while he was in the experimental phase. No, he waited until it was good enough to release as a high quality product.

                                  I absolutely applaud SLR for experimenting with new things but I don’t want to see their experiments. I want to see it when it’s been honed and perfected to a high enough standard that it looks like a top quality piece of porn content. I don’t want to see the rough early experimental version.

                                  Yes, maybe you could put links to stuff in the forum for these experiments for people who want to test it and check it out, that’s fine. It shouldn’t form part of your professional studio content lineup though in my opinion. It’s not my site though so I guess you have to do what you think will increase subscribers. If this gains you more people than it loses you then it’s a success, I suppose.

                                    As an aside, I’ve also noticed a few Euro SLR scenes recently where it’s all shot in one fixed position. I hope this is not going to become a trend so that people can use passthrough on the scene and not have to move.

                                    g2kbuffetboy Can I take this opportunity to suggest / recommend / beg / grovel on my knees to push the two harems to the top of the queue???

                                    Your (our) wish has been granted! (Coming soon section will most likely be updated later.)

                                    My brothers, get ready! We can finally attend the yoga harem class next week!!
