A few things stand out to me about this
How far removed from the original function of a house as shelter these people are. The concept of people looking for a cheap house because they don't want to freeze to death doesn't even occur to them
And
How boring the design of this house is. This is a virtual world where you can make it look like anything, you are not constrained by the laws of physics. Yet this is what they make? A generic whitebread rich yuppie box that you see everywhere in a rich suburb? Ugly pool. Ugly deck chairs. Rich people have no taste or imagination.
Hope this is a bit
Ugly pool. Ugly deck chairs. Rich people have no taste or imagination.
Pros: Maintaining a pool in the virtual world will be WAY cheaper than maintaining a pool IRL
Cons: Its not a real pool, you dipshits. You can't swim in it. You can't cool down in it. You can't invite a cute boy over to have sex in it. This is a painting of a pool. It is - I must repeat - not a real pool. Its not real. You are paying $290k for something you could make for free in Minecraft.
Hope this is a bit
Literally no idea anymore. Its all so insane.
Listing the bedrooms and sqfootage is also kind of insane because what use are those metrics if you don't have people living in the house?
If I had a house in the metaverse I would simply increase the scale until it had millions of square miles of floor space and couches the size of detroit.
VR trying toe replicate real life shows an incredible lack of imagination. You could depict all kinds of incredible, impossible in real life things, but almost all vr productions are simulation real life in some way.
See, you're problem is assuming homes are used for shelter and other basic needs as opposed to an investment opportunity or a designated storage location for your towering piles of funko pops. The neat thing about the metaverse is your towering piles of funko pops aren't constrained by stupid things like "physics."
everyone on all sides just misunderstands jokes and takes them as literal, making each side into a parody of itself
I know I know, the metaverse/crypto is already a parody. But my point remains. We’re like a bunch of Facebook boomers commenting angrily about onion articles
Was planning on making a post pleading for people to spend 60 seconds looking in the comments or doing any kind of verifying to make sure they aren't getting got. I had this wild assumption most of the posters here were a little more savvy and have been getting disabused of that notion.
the main power the poster has is laziness, and the lurker is even more powerful in this respect
I could believe it's real, I bought my first car entirely with the proceeds of hacked Runescape accounts.
My budget was like 40,USD to get the license for the botting software I cracked and put the keyloggers in, so if Facebook can't sell virtual houses for 290K more than a decade later, they're washed up.
To be honest I think most people aren't going to put in the emotional time and effort to manually reverse search the content of an image, deal with Twitter's bullshit, and then skim through replies that are mostly just awful takes or bad attempts at Joss Whedon tier comebacks, assuming there even are replies.
I just assume if someone willingly browses Twitter or :reddit-logo: they're already digital masochists. If it was an occasional thing it'd be fine, I've fallen for stuff plenty of times, just seemed like half the posts yesterday were fairly obvious jokes that were causing a lot of people to invest emotional time and labor getting worked up over.
This feels like something a Zuckerberg online stooge would say absolutely unironically. The very existence of the Metaverse should be a bit. Not something one of the largest companies in the world sank billions of dollars into inventing.
I know he has an NFT pfp, Ulysses posted the same thing earlier yesterday and I went through some of the comments.

Is it still a bit if the person grifting it actually believes what they are saying and doing for the bit?
He has a hexagon profile picture and a two character username.
Some people say you cant buy an affordable place in Miami! You still cant!
All of them. In a massive fucking ball of death and depression.
I've only ever seen it talked about by Bazinga NFT types and people mocking them.
No lol, Zuckerberg is doing the metaverse thing until Trump comes along and he's able to get the mergers and acquisitions going again.
Most people don't know what it is, and they'll probably remain in blissful ignorance until their boss forces them to put on a headset for work.
I got some second life property if anyone wants 200 grand for it.
Thanks to Amazon, I'm sure Lord of the Rings Online housing prices are skyrocketing.
