Really it's just high quality comedy. I'll start. The EU's $400,000 Ghost Gala: In November 2022, the European Commission spent €387,000 (~$400,000) on "Global Gateway," a custom 3D tropical beach metaverse designed to engage 18-to-35-year-olds in foreign aid policy. The official launch party featured virtual DJs spinning music to an empty beach. Journalists who logged in reported meeting only five other humans, all of whom logged off within minutes, leaving a single reporter standing alone in a $400k digital wasteland.
Disney's Total Metaverse Liquidation: In early 2023, Disney completely axed its dedicated metaverse division—firing the entire 50-person team tasked with bringing Disney's intellectual property into interactive 3D virtual spaces—abandoning its metaverse roadmap before a single product launched.
The Decentraland Fashion District ($2.4 Million ~$8,900): In late 2021, virtual real estate firm Metaverse Group purchased a 116-parcel estate in Decentraland’s "Fashion District" for $2.43 million, intending to host virtual runway shows for luxury fashion houses. As active user counts on the platform dwindled into the low hundreds, the estate's floor value dropped to less than $9,000.https://techstory.in/the-great-virtual-real-estate-crash-how-the-metaverse-land-market-lost-99-of-its-value
The Foo Fighters Post-Super Bowl Disaster: Right after Super Bowl LVI in 2022, Meta hyped a free, exclusive Foo Fighters VR concert in Horizon Venues. When the show started, Meta’s servers choked. Tens of thousands of fans were locked out in glitching virtual lobbies, and those who actually got in were treated to a 2D camera feed where real-life cameramen walked in front of the lens, ruining any illusion of 3D VR.https://futurism.com/foo-fighters-metaverse
The "Managers Will Be Held Accountable" Leaked Memos: In late 2022, internal memos leaked from Meta's Vice President of Metaverse, Vishal Shah. The software was so buggy that Meta’s own development team refused to use it. Shah had to issue a "quality lockdown" and literally write to staff: "The simple truth is, if we don't love it, how can we expect our users to love it?" Follow-up memos threatened to hold managers accountable if their teams didn't log into Horizon at least once a week.https://ryanschultz.com/2022/10/07/leaked-internal-memos-from-meta-detail-problems-with-horizon-worlds-and-horizon-workrooms
>>543077683I’ve never been to the Metaverse but I’d kind of like to see it at least once, not only that but I think Metaverse properties hold real life financial value and id still potentially invest in Metaverse real estate. Maybe that’s what World of Warcraft is missing, the opportunity to put your name and face on every billboard in Azeroth like you own the motherfucker. They’ll let ya play banker/auctioneer but won’t let you do nearly enough with the earnings, could’ve created a complete financial ecosystem but instead gave everyone gay pride week in Orgrimmar and allowed cheaters to sell gold and afk honor farm AV. Could you imagine if they had billboards in Ironforge and Stormwind? Could you imagine the RP value of being allowed to open your own Inn?
>>543077683It is amazing zuckerberg thought he could re-invent Second Life and then use jew magic to force everyone onto it in order to apply for jobs (his actual goal).
>>543078039>Meta's Vice President of Metaverse, Vishal Shah.>The software was so buggy that Meta’s own development team refused to use it. >Vishal Shah>buggy softwareI think I found your problem. Based h1pajeets gutting a jewish tech company through racial incompetence and jewish greed.
>>543079438lol
>>543079501>I think I found your problem.The actual problem is that VR Chat already existed and had been well established for over half a decade when Zuck had his little "metaverse" experiment. It's built on user created content that creators can license and distribute on their own terms. And most of it is free. So the entire idea was destined to failure from the get-go.
I bought land in the metaverse!
>>543080128Nah, it's the jeets.
>>543080282I'm not defending jeet coders. But even if it was well coded it was destined for failure.A superior product already existed, that the public was aware of, that you could use for free. And the best part is I don't think I've ever encountered a single pajeet on VRChat.
>>543077683Its all just new methods of money laundering / payoffs.In the past it was "book deals" and "$400,000 speeches", or "paintings".Now they pass funds around with stupid shit like this.
>>543079370Could you imagine the funny antics pranksters like Asmongold and his crew would have with such billboards? I know I’d show up to see the billboards and goto his inn. Maybe have a system in place like only so many inns can be opened per server and once they’re taken the only way to get one is to buy it. Maybe have multiple perks for innkeepers, like something passive, gain rest a small % faster, maybe like a % of repairs and vendor items, maybe even have the option to have a part time auctioneer in house and at your inn. You know, like small perks to try and draw people to your inn, but each inn can only have one extra perk
>>543077683>400kThat's crazy bro. Looks like total shit.
>>543077790>virtual real estateStop. It's too jewish.
>>543079501You get what you pay for and you pay for what you get.
they decided on a cold, sterile, soulless, "inoffensive", pro-corporate, globohomo art style. and to top it all off nobody had any legs.that this was greenlit just shows how out of touch they are at the top and that nobody close to them is able or willing to tell them "shit looks lame".people don't want corporate, they want edgy (but not cringe) user generated content and a degree of chaos. that's what makes something feel "cool" and "hip".also the goggles have a very narrow field of view of only 90 degrees. this feels claustrophobic like wearing horse blinders. according to metas own roadmap from years ago we should have had something more immersive by now. but instead they keep playing it "safe" with these claustrophobic optics. i've seen the demos at conferences for better tech, it exists.also porn. yes, porn. thats why vhs won over betamax. face it, half the people buying goggles are doing it for porn. stop fighting that. meta seriously made pic related a promo image. like they think we're such goys that they assumed this low poly slop art would fly.
>>543081241I bought a pair of meta sunglasses recently, happiest I’ve been with a purchase maybe ever. The quality is so much better than I expected and far exceeded my expectations, I’m looking forward to whatever version Zuck has in store for us next. I’ve heavily criticized Meta, the Metaverse, AI, and even very publicly challenged Zuck to a fight. Against all odds that man has won me over, complete change of heart to who he is even as a person, I’m a firm believer in his products and his company
>>543077683when can i expect cheap "horror" films to come out about this vapor concept
big corporations are too hr friendly, too blackrock friendly, too esg friendly, to ever produce anything that resonates with the common man>>543081437for me it's the mc chicken, the best fast food sandwich...also why are people buying pervert glasses with cameras on them? i was kind of interested in the meta display glasses (would have put stickers over the cameras though, out of respect for peoples privacy) because of the display and the wristband controls being pretty slick. but then i found out you can't browse the internet on these glasses, you can only use apps and not even youtube. like fuck off
>>543081302>they want edgy (but not cringe) user generated content and a degree of chaos. People want freedom, leaf. It's called freedom. Something we lost a long time ago.
>>543081302>half the people buying goggles are doing it for porn.VR porn is a memeIt's all about jerking off while rubbing pixels with some dude with a voice changer.
>>543081437Smells like turmeric and feces in here.
>>543081302>low poly slop artMeta64
>>543077683Meta lost $46 Billion on this shit.Lockdowns were not supposed to end, ostensibly.We were supposed to be drugged up and plugged in to that carnival.
>>543081592They’re not pervert glasses you fuckin pervert. I use them for filming POV golf shots, but man I’d be lying if I said they don’t make damn near the best dashboard camera ever made
>>543082131>Lockdowns were not supposed to endYou're welcome.
>>543077683rip Virbela, never fogrethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdPrueIO1aU
>>543082131This.Trump was never supposed to win.Hilldawg was supposed to be in office, and no "vaccine" was ever supposed to be found for a decade or more.They wanted everyone locked down for DECADES.The Great Reset was the covid scam to interrupt normal life and scare everyone into their WEF globohomo faggot new world order shit.Trump doing the whole speedrun of "vaccine" ruined their plans of 10-20 years of lockdowns.You don't hate the jews enough.
>>543082337Go fuck yourself sideways with a fist full of glass you migger shitskin kike.
>>543082299that's just what everyones calling them now: pervert glasses. anyone seeing you in those things is going to think you're a pervert. i don't make the rules. but i also dont want to live in a world where everyone has a camera strapped to their face. at least with the phones they're usually pointed down. but a camera on the face is just too fucking obnoxious. i dont want to be watched through cameras everywhere all the time so fuck off with your pervert glasses weirdo and fuck your golf game. eat shit glasshole
>>543081960I’m white, don’t think I’ve ever used turmeric in my life, I’m a salt of the earth kind of guy, maybe a little bit of black pepper, and the smell you’re picking up must be from your moms dirty ass stinking up the bathroom you share with her
>>543082450No shit you don’t make the rules, you’re an irrelevant pervert faggot in an irrelevant country, you’re a piss ant
>>543082337this is the most retarded shit ive read today
>>543079370Retard
>>543081437Faggot
>>543077683To me the funniest part is that they renamed the whole company Meta after this failed bullshit, and still haven't renamed it back.
>>543082798I know you are, you must get it from your dad
>>543082727I know you are, you must get it from your mom
>>543081302The Zuck is such an ahuman troglodyte it's so funny.
>>543077683money laundering
>>543082337This is the most batshit retard type cope I’ve seen. Literal Qboomer tier of mental gymnastics to fit the square into the triangle slot. People are so stupid now. It’s not bots. It’s not pretending to be retarded. It’s just filled to the brim with retards. Real actual breathing retards.
>>543082630nevertheless everyone thinks you're a pervert and that you're taking pics of them with your pervert glasses to jack off to later. and you paid a lot of money to look like a pervert and violate the privacy of everyone around you while pointing an annoying camera in their faces. and everything thinks you're a douchebag. and no amount of insulting me is going to change that.
Wtf I remember watching some documentary in the 00s and they mentioned Second Life and interviewed some German guy that bought $100k worth of 'real estate' in the game as an 'investment'. It was silly 20 years ago, funny seeing big corpos go full retard unaware of this
>>543080490The flag doesnt doesnt help your case in defending jeets
>>543080653Virtual space doesn't have to have any physical limits, it's virtual. You are mentally retarded.
>>543083266Well if we didn’t live in mad max crime land with illegal immigeanrs worthless African niggers running around creating crimes. I wouldn’t have to wear glasses, thank your nigger father for being a worthless African nigger and creating a worthless nigger like you
>>543083409again, no amount of personal insults will stop people from thinking you're a pervert with pervert glasses. also those pervert glasses won't protect you from niggers because niggers don't give a fuck, they're literally too stupid to care if they're on camera, they'll do it anyways.
>>543081592>also why are people buying pervert glasses with camerasDo they sell it without cameras? I just wanna watch movies/steam deck with a pair
>>543082337Your fat faggot queen ordered the release of Covid to injure China economically.
>>543083270Everything, I mean everything, is run by retarded nepobabies now. Regardless of race, they all have this in common. Every local small business, when it sells, is being bought by them. None of them want to learn the job. All of them just want to "manage" and "market." They don't want to know a single thing about how the company operates or who their customers are or what they want. They are only interested in the next product launch/service expansion. They don't give a fuck if anything actually works.This is true for corporate management too. Even high-up non-profit positions are like this now.
>>543083603I’ve never even worn them in public, so you can miss me with that shit ya big dumb ape. Tell me something did your mom grunt like a gorilla when she shit you out of her ass you ugly brown butt baby
>>543083604no, because they really really really want everyone to have a surveillance state camera mounted to their face. there's nothing in it for them if they can't put cameras on it. also the meta glasses only have a display in one eye, and the software is a walled garden so no movies and no steam deck. only the apps like a map and messaging.worse still are the glasses that have no display, only cameras. those kinda pervert glasses are for the goodest of goys. goyglasses
>>543083784i just can't stress enough how indifferent i am to insults. ok so you never wore them in public, that means you understand the issue, what are we even arguing about then?
>>543083762I'm talking local dentist offices not owned by dentist. Local plumbing companies not owned by plumbers. The nepo-baby business major fags or even dropouts take over all of it and the doctors and master plumbers, etc. become just employees. This is happening everywhere in every field. College presidents who are retired Congressmen with no degrees, Pharma CEOs who are Senators' daughters with fake MBAs and forged resumes. It doesn't matter the field.
>>543083883No shit you’re indifferent to insults you’re too shit for brains to understand them, your folks raised a turd, your mom didn’t know whether to flush you or raise you. It would seem she made the wrong choice
>>543083989k
>>543079370Second Life did this decades ago, Mark.
>>543082382>>543082676>>543082952>>543083760Lol at all of the jewish dicksuckers seething over facts.Go get your 95th booster.Don't forget to wear 4 masks, too
>>543078039>Vishal Shah*DINKA DINKA DINKA DINK**DINKA DINKA DINKA DINK**DINKA DINKA DINKA DINK**DINKA DINKA DINKA DINK*
>>543083989You really are perverted, though. You are demonstrating it with your vulgar outbursts
>>543084682Calling a stranger you don’t know a pervert is fighting words dude, you’re too chicken shit to fight anyone shrimp dick. Go pretend to be a man somewhere else, nowhere here’s buying your act bitch boy
>>543079438i think it was a sweet idea, but it was badly timed. Most people are sick of virtuality by now.
>>543077683>create a vr world with limited audience because "vr" is an incredibly niche meme market>it failsshocking! truly shocking!
>>543085024actually i feel bad, because it was originally my idea. I used to post about it on facebook, back when i used to use it, before covid, and I think i may have given mr zuckerberg the idea, so I feel guilty that it bombed so bad.
No one is gonna give a fuck about VR until they start focusing seriously on immersive erotica and more realistic teledildonics. Having flesh sex should be seen as comparatively dull and vulgar to VR in 15 years. Imagine a SteamGasm box with a built in silicone smart pussy that your AI assistant can always feel and react to.
>>543079370>>543080653>>543081437Weird, even for bait
>>543079438>It is amazing zuckerberg thought he could re-invent Second Life and then use jew magic to force everyone onto it in order to apply for jobs (his actual goal).COVID was a textbook Mass Hysteria event. It's unbelievable how crazy people went, even though it was all thoroughly documented.
>>543085247Why would you want that? You should want a wife, and the real thing. Honestly I tried to talk so many people out of world of Warcraft because they were replacing real life achievements for a virtual piece of gear with pretty mid stats. Some of yall would’ve traded your life away for tier 1. Aw man, why get the real thing when you can have virtual ham and holographic meatloaf? You truly are the lowest form of life, you’d give up your real life for something that is not life
>>543082337This doesnt work because one Biden got into power he could have just said "oops it didnt work, trump is an idiot i guess" and went back to the normal lock down plan.Instead he tried to make the vaxx mandatory and created a public trust crisis.We were on the verge of a significant portion of the population just outright rejecting government authority before they relented and stopped enforcing lock down policy.Remember that there never was any real "announcement" that the pandemic was over and they kept trying to hype the variants all the way into 2023.The lock downs ended because people just started ignoring them in 2022.
>>543085456
>>543085247>teledildonicsIt always amuses me when I encounter this word in the wild and remember that it's real.>>543085582>You should want a wife, and the real thing.>Aw man, why get the real thing when you can have virtual ham and holographic meatloaf?If only wanting one were enough. Women recognize lower forms of life as well as you do, if not better. And they'd rather be alone or part of a better man's harem than give me the time of day. I can try harder, which will come off as desperate, needy, cringey, etc. I can relax, be myself, let things happen naturally, and be ignored. Or I can I get what little joy I can out of simulation, and you'll mock and patronize me for that. Either way we all know the truth:>You truly are the lowest form of life
>>543086526Yeah well being the dingus with a VR headset and a pocket pussy mechanically attached to your groin region certainly ain’t going to attract you a mate partner, I can tell you right now. So you should dead that shit right now and burn the thought from your mind. Repent and goto church, tell them you’ve been healed in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit.
>>543086655>>Yeah well being the dingus with a VR headset and a pocket pussy mechanically attached to your groin region certainly ain’t going to attract you a mate partner, I can tell you right now.I just told you that I already know that. The natural urge you felt to restate it and patronize me is what I'm talking about. >Repent and goto church, tell them you’ve been healed in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit.My soul may be saved and the afterlife might be ok, but no amount of repentance or contrition will improve my standing in this life. People like you are going to talk down the me no matter what I do.
>>543087156Keep doing whatever makes you happy bro. Youll get your robowaifu one of these days.
>>543087156Im not talking down to you, ive told you how to be healed and turn and be forgiven. What you’re speaking about is an abomination unto The Lord thy God, bordering on man made horrors beyond most people’s comprehension. You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.15 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes.Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heartsand turn, and I would heal them
>>543083277At least I have a foreskin
>>543086096It was already too late by then, government had already gauged lockdown sentiment before Biden took over January of 2021 and by then people were very clearly sick of it. Trump is a tool of convenience, he was allowed to win in 2016 and was used to poll test all but the most liberal of policies globohomo wanted in the future.
>>543081302>people don't want corporate, they want edgy (but not cringe) user generated content and a degree of chaosThat's why people use VR Chat. Everyone who played VRC never gave two shits about the "metaverse" because it was always fake and somehow gayer than the furries in VRC.
>>543082299Our marketing team calls them Meta-icks. They tell the security team to never let anyone in the building or events with those on. Only the creepiest men wears those things.
>>543089033Sounds like you’re a homosexual, if anyone is a sex pervert it’s you bud. Now go let a man stick their manhood in your shithole.
>>543089033Don't feed the memeflag tripfags. They get off on the attention (which is why this one wears those stalker glasses).
>>543089144The only faggot itt is the the one who admitted to buying metaglasses, and never wearing them outside. You sound like a boomer or a jeet
>>543082337A reminder that one russian monke that wanted a piece of Ukraine was the solely reason why cuckvid finally ended.Not vaxx, not Blumpf
>>543082952Still can't grapple with the fact that you got duped huh? Having a hard time accepting you're the retard?Hang in there, tough goy.
>>543077683Still angry that they ruined the potential that Oculus had for this garbage (and Carmack's reputation at the same time, though that's mostly his problem).
>>543089677The sole reason the wuhan flu ever even became a thing was because the CCP wanted to squash the Hong Kong freedom protests.
>>543089338I’m 37, and I have a daughter so there’s more evidence of me not being a fag then there is of you not being a fag. where did I say I don’t wear my glasses outside? I said in this thread I use them to get POV footage of me hitting golf shots to add an overlay with footage of down the line angle shots of me hitting golf shots. I feel like it adds to the quality of the golf footage honestly in most cases, it’s just a camera man. Everyone has one, and the meta glasses light up like a god damn Christmas tree when you’re recording, could play where’s Waldo with the guy recording in public. Where’s Waldo? Oh he’s over there with goofy ass lights on his sunglasses. If you ain’t doing shit wrong, then what the fuck are you worried about
>>543077683Horror stories? To me it's peak comedy lmao
>>543083800>walled gardenOne of the more interesting things ive noticed about the internet is that I can tell when an organic poster has consumed a specific peice of media or a bot is pushing trackable propaganda through the use of these unique "buzz words".It's the same as the "ontological shock" phrase used during the UAP flap. Whatever three letter agencies running the psyop use these words to calculate when their propaganda campaign has reached saturation within a population based on the amount of organic reoccurances of key tracker words across the net. Once certain threshold is reached they know a population is primed for inception/has already been or their propaganda operation is on track. Like radiological markers for advance medical imaging except for a populations zeitgeist. My two cent anyway.
>>543077683i would have attended for 10k
>>543090528He’s wrong about the walled garden, you can sync the meta sunglasses with Garmin Smart Watches. Beneficial if you’re a big Garmin smart watch guy. I’ve been wanting one of their golf watches for sometime. Industry leading innovative products. I’d like to see yall come up with anything, there truly is nothing new under the sun but some aspects of these meta sunglasses and Garmin smart watches kind of are
>>543077943They really, really, really wanted a ton of people to use this shit but on the rare chance when a ton of people actually used it, the servers would crash lmao.
