Man, can't wait to use the metaverse while driving on the way to work.
"A British psychotherapist and researcher has reported being "virtually gang raped" on the Facebook metaverse. "Within 60 seconds of walking in, I was verbally and sexually harassed," she said.
just sharing i have no opinion on this

VR is the future, but not through Facebook. Facebook purposely is making their new occulus headsets so that they are hard to work with if you want to use any software you didn't download in their store. Valve headsets are better, especially if you want to do anything interesting.
VR satisfies social needs without the same risks as normal social contact. People are only going to need to socialize more in the future and our society will not create a healthy landscape for that to happen. I don't know how common it is, but I have what they call "phantom sense." Basically if I touch something or someone in vr it feels real to me. Same with eye contact, it feels like I'm really looking into someones eyes and they are in the room with me.
One of my VR friends says Facebook has been testing ads on quest. I told him if I get an ad when I'm trying to have a conversation with him I will take a sledgehammer to my quest. I think Facebook is the kind of company that would ruin a good thing by doing business in a sleezy way.
In 10 years your car will drive YOU to work lolMan, can't wait to use the metaverse while driving on the way to work.

That's a little insulting. I'm a loser with nothing going in my life as well, but I still don't want this crap.This just sounds like a resurgence of 2nd Life for a new generation of losers that have nothing going for them in real life
Good grief.At least in the app I use this isn't possible. Like yeah you can have sex if you have certain avatars, but you have a bunch of safety options that control the extent to which other avatars are able to intetact with you.
So, with my options setup the way they are, I don't see other avatars unless I have them friended, this is necessary primarily to save resources if you have a big party. So everyone I don't friend looks like a robot. Also there is an option to control how much people can interact with your avatar. With my settings, someone could touch my face, or rub my head, or stuff like that. With the default settings if anyone gets to close to you they walk right through you. At most if she didn't have any safety settings on, someone could have flashed her a penis or tried to put it in her face. I think with the default settings most nudity is censored unless someone has a clever way around it.
Edit: She was probably harassed, I believe that. I'm just objecting to the term gang rape. If people are bothering you, you mute/block them.
Oh yeah? Well just wait. I’m gonna get really great at sword fighting in VR, then someday IRL there will be a scenario where they really need someone with sword fighting skills. I will step forward and whup someone ass. Everyone will be in awe of my skills.This just sounds like a resurgence of 2nd Life for a new generation of losers that have nothing going for them in real life. Now they can create a new intelligent, successful, beautiful winner self and a totally fake new reality for themselves in the metaverse.
Well, I need a real girl in front of me to do the job.That's actually where you are wrong. VR social applications are very appealing to women. In VR a woman can have flawless skin that she can customize. Also the fact that they can block you for being a dick means it is less socially risky than doing the same kinds of social activities in the real world. Any insecurities a woman has socially can easily be addressed in vr in a way that it cannot be in the real world. Women also like to be creative with their appearance, and how they present themselves.
My best friend met his girlfriend who he is living with on discord. There is way more sex that is starting with people meeting online these days.

With flesh on it and all this thing that human females have.
No online required .
Maybe if technology advances to the point it is in the tv show West World and even then it will be « Physical »
Well I guess I’ll keep my wife a little more
No, I can use Zoom but people are literally begging me to come back into the office. Humans want 3D pig disgusting social interactions. Don't ask me why it wasn't my idea.Are people still this shortsighted, or just naturally tend towards a Luddite mentality in general? If you have a smattering of imagination and have used a quest 2 or steam headset, it’s not hard to extrapolate out 5-10 years and realize how absolutely phenomenal and attractive this space will be.
AR and VR will be utterly surreal, the pandemic just exposed a large casual population to the current state of the art a bit more prematurely, and now we’re hearing all their hot takes. Zucks knows what’s up, and he’s put his money where his mouth is. He has been spearheading this push with real dollars and it will ultimately payoff. Ignore the trolls and naive hot takes, this is the real deal.
I dunno about that."Verse" that's all you need to know. A cool word made popular by marvel
You can always play Vader Immortal, the canon VR Star Wars game where you wield a lightsaber.I’m gonna get really great at sword fighting in VR
: DDDAt a party someone told me they had real world sex with their significant other while in VR, both of them wearing headsets so they looked like their avatars.
Anything in VR sexual is basically just role play, but there are people who become friends through VR and then meetup in real life because they like each other. I would say I have way more in common with random people I meet in VR than the average person I meet in regular life.
Actually, people do that in MMOs.And moving onto games, I honestly cannot imagine a single person on the planet that'll boot up a game and think "man fuck the game, I just want to spend 3h in the lobby chatting with some randoms"... I mean, CoD WWII already tried that with HQ mode, and well, it basically went unnoticed, people just wanted to actually play the good old TDM.
