“Furality Ultra: 3rd Times the Best!” The Grand Illusion Issue 9
Furality Ultra was this year, and my goodness what an event! For those that don’t know, FURALITY is the biggest Vr convention on Vrchat! For 4 days in June all of us come together to enjoy the con and meet new friends and things. Now I’ve been to Umbra, and Somna, this time, it was time to ULTRA! The convention this time focused on the Prism 2600, a made up console in the twilight of its online servers. The convention theme was setup to be one last hurrah.
The hub world was an amazing hub and the most interactive I’ve ever seen! It felt like a huge hub that should have been the future during the Fruitier Aero era of 2006-09. The worlds made for Ultra provided a lot of eye candy. One such room was the art Gallery where I GOT TO BE APART OF IT!!
Behind me is the collective efforts of The Snoot Collective! A group that has one goal in mind!…Collect Snoots! They just so happen to get mine however, I was stuck on my costume. During a New Player Night event held by Furality, the API suddenly shat the bed so a lot of us were stuck in alternative avatars. I was stuck in my Mazda787b avatar cause I was testing to see if anyone would lag out. However I found the owner of TSC and he said “you’ll be our car snoot!” So he took the image, I got to spend about 45 mins with him while we hung in his booth. Come the day the Ultrappex world releases, and I got to the border and lo and behold I MADE IT ON IT!!!!!!!!
To find my snoot, I’m Row 17, Space 21, just look for the Bug Eyes as a landmark. When the world gets released again I’ll see if I can get more images! It was an honor to be one of the featured snoots for Furality Ultra. You would not believe the amount of happy tears I cried for that but also for the friends and others I met and made!
I became the accidental moderator at the Sim Racing Furry meetup cause I had a ton of people around me. It was maybe the coolest thing I’ve seen! Tons of different sim racers all from different areas telling what they have and all, where they want to go, and how they got to where they are now! Filming there was fun too! I loved every second, from a karaoke instance to Uno to being with my friends!
I went with a lovely bunch of folks! This image was taken during the Somna Throwback Meetup. It was also a full circle moment! These lovely folks here from left to right are Shay, Blue, DashMan, Smartster, Tristin and then ME! These people were just the absolute best to hang with. Each of them with their own little quirky manners and also other things. A few of them I did have to help them mentally which thankfully all worked out in the end. Ultra definitely made everyone fell like a kid again, as if you could go back in time and play that childhood game one more time! However, Ultra came to an end too soon!
The day after it wrapped, a friend of mine named Slendy brought me to the fireworks world to see the closing fireworks show. What an awesome culmination and also kudos to Furality to give a shoutout to sim racing! Nice touch man! Now we wait for the next one which rumors say it’ll be space themed again! I’ll be there for it!
Now in my last issue I mentioned about my sim racing accomplishment during October of 2025 and how I joined some other leagues…however, each Leauge as a dark side to it, and when one listens to a troll group, it gets messy in a hurry, and it also ruins their reputation when you don’t have me as your main source of advertising.
But THAT is a story for another day
