Me as a catboy going back in time and fighting alongside John Brown
Student in the back raising their hand to ask if Hatsune Miku was at the battle of tours
The student asking the question is also using a Hatsune Miku avatar, only $99.99 on the Meta store.
Hello students and welcome to my interactive lecture on the Great Famine of 1815. I'm Pikachu with Tits and I'm going to be taking you all on a journey through one of the worst times to be alive in modern history.
Idk the fact that a coworker might show up to a meeting as furry Pikachu seems like the only advantage to the metaverse.
The whole Meta-verse thing is so.... exhausting.
No one wants it. The Zuck bought a VR company at the height of VR for way too much and is now just trying to force the world to be customers.
And there's so many customer slots too: Headsets, subscriptions, hosting, designing, developing, deploying, managing, maintenance, upgrading.
I hate this fucking timeline, if we're all forced down this shithole I'll make a website that's just like... amazon with api hooks into the metaverse and allow us to do our consuming the old fashioned way.
Zuckerberg's silly haircut is a nod to Augustus - the first Roman emperor.
Augustus
(63 BC–AD 14), the first Roman emperor; born Gaius Octavius; also called (until 27 BC) Octavian. He was adopted by the will of his great-uncle Julius Caesar and gained supreme power by his defeat of Antony in 31 BC. In 27 BC he was given the title Augustus ("venerable") and became in effect the first Roman emperor.
I think Zuck has entirely lost touch with reality and he has billionaire brain. He must think of himself as "chosen" (by god or by fate) - to be more than any mere Roman emperor. I think the Metaverse is doomed due to this hubris. My hunch is that once he burns through too much money and Meta's stock price is in the toilet - the project will be renamed and then effectively, quietly shelved.
Some time in the future (10+ years or so?) when the tech is far better, cheaper, and simpler - maybe such silliness will actually work. But I just don't see it working anytime soon. Zuck isn't even 40 yet. If he mothballs the project - he could still try again in his 50s.
Unno what technology will make me want to strap on some googles (or anything) and "walking" a virtual isle to shop. I really don't understand any target audience for this.
Incels mostly. But I would love to get an application for people with motor disabilities to access the internet or web.
Because history looked like an episode of Star Trek: ToS filmed on a backlot in Studio City.
Goddam these fucking metaverse clowns. No-ones cares about this shit.
Um of course this liberal rendition of history is correct, if it weren't, how come you can time travel to a simulation of it? You can see from this Sega Saturn animation that it's correct and couldn't have happened any other way.
What if we made an MMO, but with none of the charm or worldbuilding!
I've known people who talked about Game of Thrones like it was historical fact. They said "back then" and everything too.
