You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment

when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


Facebook's Metaverse product doesn't look so bad. The legless look is a play-it-safe omission, and it does work well in VR where headsets render you fairly stationary due to your home's physical constraints. Their ad accurately portrays this, which is important consideration, and a realistic compromise because they clearly are going hard in the headset direction and less traditional mouse and keyboard.

Of all the organizations to try it, Facebook definitely has the money to make sure their game engine stays updated and stable, and they definitely have the capacity to welcome community content as they discover how lucrative a marketplace for a community can be. As a company I think it's good they're stepping in this direction, they kinda need a splash of color compared to the social network that was their brand for the longest time.

It's kinda...kidsy-adultsy so far, but for their market that's ideal.

I thought what they meant was that the apes are basically a composition of a finite number of existing assets (a torso feature, facial features, random accessories like a hat or whatever), which is where the artificial scarcity comes from (because there is at most numTorsos*numFaces*numAccessories combinations), not that they're necessarily randomly generated and have to be validated.

There already was a Second Life in VR, called VR Chat, and no nobody cared this much about it.

However, 1) Facebook execs and cryptochuds didn't know about it cus they don't know poo poo about anything, but more importantly 2) they can pitch the NFT angle to cryptochuds. Also like others said, ads + micro transactions instead of letting people just make their own poo poo like in SL/VRC
