    You’re joking, but there are lots of people in VRChat that love spending a lot of time looking at their own avatar in front of in-game mirrors.

      Man, I hate looking at myself in mirrors or even hearing myself in recordings. I just don’t understand people who actually like it.

        I mean, in VR you’re really just checking how well you did your avatar. There’s a sense of accomplishment in doing something that looks like you with a very limited set of tools. Haven’t tried it in VR, but I know the exact feeling from The Sims series.

          I understand checking when first creating it, but I find it weird to check it after that. I don’t even make my avatar in games look anything like myself. It’s not that I’m bad looking or anything, I just don’t like looking at myself, and that includes pictures, videos, etc.
