Imagine having access to a virtual world where literally anything is possible and being stuck using it for fucking simulated work meetings
FACT CHECK you will be able to do ALMOST ANY of your Favorite Things including Fortnite concerts and ppv UFC

A swarm of 3D PPB's phasing through the wall and proceeding to fly through the digital conference room, completely obscuring whatever graphs your boss was trying to show
PPB.exe where the pig is hyper realistic and comes through your screen into the real world
If Facebook goes under after this meta shit fails, one of the only tech firms large enough to potentially acquire them will be Google. Google+ wins again!
I am now imagining a dreary office but everyone is a creepy Uncanny Valley Second Life sex pervert avatar
Your middle-aged boss looks like the gigachad guy and there's a bunch of neon-coloured dog people with anime eyes sitting in the meeting. The guy you suspect is a secret nazi is a 12-year-old anime school girl
gonna be an average "fat and ugly" guy and call it avant-garde :grillman:
i am attending my child's virtual graduation ceremony. they are receiving a Doctorate in Treat Delivery. privately i am worried about their job prospects, but i cope by spamming the chat with the same terrible joke where i prefix everything that has a T in it with "NF-" until i am muted by the mods.
"hey carbohydra, couldn't help but notice you weren't in the Metaverse™ meeting again this week. There's a lot of important information shared there and you not participating is making work more difficult for everyone else. We need you to be a team player or your future with the MiseryInc family will be in jeopardy."
"Please purchase the necessary $800 dollar branded headset and report to my virtual office so I can fire you."
The metaverse sucks. Absolutely in no way will I wear some bullshit on my head to do something that should be an email or done over slack.
Yeah, if my boss comes to me to tell me we're doing that, I'm going to tell him to eat my entire ass.
It's nice that while they're making the planet unlivable they are also making life itself unlivable.
I wish them a very happy brain aneurysm.
His ideas really were pretty terrible but, by god, my man was motivated by the correct level of fear.
the aesthetic facilitates pmc dissociation via self-infantilization while allowing them to grandstand about how inclusive and accessible their vr workplace is even for those who cannot afford powerful gpus
What's scary about this is that high end phones now are technically capable of this. Remember Google cardboard/daydream and Samsung gear VR and all that? Well now imagine that with modern high end smartphones that have 1440p screens with high pixel density, GPU's more powerful than those in the base PS4 and Xbox one, etc. Give it a few years with the advancement in ARM processors and most smartphones will be able to do this
Unrelated but related. If you jerk off in vr, the little cg hands look really shameful. Like a monkey trying to peel an invisible banana.
This is what our lives could look like in the metaverse:
