"I'm so tired of having meetings that could have just been emails" hit me so hard
th-cam.com/video/xcuP3VLFj70/w-d-xo.html
I’m so glad my job doesn’t do this! We haven’t had meetings in over a year. Even before COVID the meetings were monthly and only with top managers.
I'm so tired having emails that could have just been texts.
I'm so tired of having texts that could have been nothing
_"I'm so tired of having meetings that could just be emails."_
Absolutely, and that's the big glaring problem that the Zuck just doesn't seem to understand- the _entire world_ is getting sick of unnecessary virtual meetings.
@xraf32 just play chocolate doom in the background
The reason so many high ups and Ceos love unneccesary meetings is because it's one of the few instances where they interact directly with their employees and feel they are doing "something".

Essentially the Quest Pro is failing to appeal to workers because it would add an unacceptable level of intrusion and inconvenience to their jobs, and it’s failing to appeal to managers because it’s trying to provide a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist

@@ducktape4502 s h u t
At best, that headset seems like a gimmicky toy for companies with massive budgets. A simple Zoom meeting already does everything you might need it to for remote work. And already I find that to be overused in the workplace. We don’t need yet another layer of superfluous bullcrap to waste even more productivity at work.
@Richard Dickinson Yeah, it just seems unnecessary and inconvenient. I wonder if you could even do things like drink your coffee or water while wearing one. Or imagine trying to have a lunch meeting and eat while wearing it.
@@ducktape4502 Let’s be real, no company is adopting this shit. It’s a waste of money on top of time.
Why adopt something that already has a simple solution via clicking an email or answering a call on a desktop or phone without having to use anything else?
It’s just not appealing for the workplace no matter how many people hope and wish for it. Not anytime soon, that for sure. Zoom was essentially a more real life simplified version of all of this, and companies got tired of that shit real quick during COVID and don’t want to go back to that.

But if the company is performing poorly you may just be in the next large round of layoffs.

No lower bodies means no "sexual harassment". I actually expect this to be one of the reasons behind that weird decision to not give the avatars a full body.
Wasn’t this an actual thing in the beginning. Some people reported being sexually assaulted in the meta verse

There were Freudian slips somewhere along the way...
@@TeaWithTay imagine getting dry humpped by a loser when trying to give a presentation.
I think what Meta and social media is teaching everyone is simply that, at the end of the day, most people want REAL connections with real people in as real an environment as possible. We want virtual connections for that downtime in between.
Sure, that'll always be a thing, but if the time comes where this tech becomes more optimal to use than not, things will change. People used to speak similarly about texting. If people start figuring out that they have an edge using the tech, or it's just funner, or makes things easier, then the masses will come. Hopefully it's not FB, but it's coming, n Zukky knows it.

I honestly hate how people are comparing the metaverse characters to the miis. The miis were great because they never tried to look realistic. They had a variety of expressions and situations that they could be used in but their simplicity gave them charm and they never fell into an uncanny valley. The metaverse character try looking realistic but since they don’t go all the way and try to look like what real life actually looks like, they look so dull, lifeless, and bland
I agree the Miis are charming they look like toys, Metas characters have zero charm at all. Though it is notable that Metaverse Zuck looks more human than real zuck.
@@Bpinator even Zuck in the metaverse doesn’t look good. Sure he looks “more human” but that doesn’t make you immune to the uncanny valley unless it goes all the way and looks indistinguishable from reall people

Well spoken
It's so insane how they are trying to get these virtual offices off the ground. No one wants to go to an office in real life, why would anyone want to wear a VR headset all day just to be in a virtual office? You don't get any of the benefits of working from home but you do get additional eye-strain. Sounds horrible
Those who actually see value in being in an office often want to attend it IRL anyway because why chatting with people remote if attending them live is more fun (and productive)?
This is the worst business decision of all time. Facebook was always destined for a slow death, but this speedrun to the bottom is way more entertaining.
@@ILubBLOfficial I'm not a teenager, and I am aware of the benefits of going to an actual office. I am sorry my original comment focused mainly on one side of the discussion, which is people who do not actually like going to an office (read up on articles about people's reluctance to go back after home-offices during covid time). I'm an adult who quite enjoys meeting people in real life. You are very condescending
@@ILubBLOfficial I work in IT, so my experience does not apply to all forms of labor without compulsory need for physical attendance. Both remote work and office work have their validity, but it depends on the situation. Remote work is best suitable for concentration-intensive and heavily self-managed work. You are in silence and if you have a question, you call (or write) a colleague via mostly Teams. It works decently well if it is an integrated solution.
Office work is preferred if you need a lot of communication, e.g. at the beginning of a project or to demonstrate something that works bad in an online conference. It also has an immense social component; yes, colleagues are not by default your friends, but they are still humans and actually having some sort of social attendance related to your work benefits your mental health (unless anxieties are at play).
The metaverse idea of attending a virtual office pretty much combines most of the worst of both realms: Social isolation and strain on your eyes from home office, physical obligation and distraction from attendance. Who seriously wants this?

Good insights into the metaverse. It reminds me of Second Life (SL). I used that early on, just a little bit, for remote meetings. It was not really something that useful. Zoom and MS Teams is more than fine for that purpose, with no extra hardware required. One of the things Meta touts is augmented reality. That can be useful for industrial companies but is not something a consumer would need. The spending by tech companies that rely in advertising, on everything, is just out of control. They have more employees than the companies that were involved in aerospace and defense. Believe me, their actual products are much simpler. I come from the A&D world.
I will make a prediction. The metaverse, if they improve their graphics, will become a porn site, a lot like SL.
Second Life is still alive (almost 20 years!), is being updated and the company still makes money. They have a strong community and that's even excluding everything porn related.
AR will dominate the consumer market. The smartphone was a step towards that, and it's time is running short.

They both rely on the same sales tactic, and you end up with the same end result. Nothing or less.

@@JM-zg2jg I wonder if in the meta verse we'll be able to build a colossal virtual pyramid to match the pyramid/Ponzi scheme that crypto is? Then take a screenshot of it and sell it as a NFT.
The virtual world would then be complete.

Miis have been around far longer than 10 years. While the "Mii-Verse" as a term may have launched with the Wii U 10 years ago, Miis were a thing as far back as the original Wii in 2006. Meanwhile, the Wii used hardware very similar to what the Gamecube used in 2001, save for the full DVD drive and the motion controls. The Wii had the Mii program for creating Miis and also launched with Wii sports, a motion game that used the Miis directly. More nintendo licensed games would soon come out for the Wii that used the Miis as the playable protagonists over time, first adhering largely to the sports and "fitness" genres of gameplay and branching out over time.
Also, I too would agree that the Miis are better than the Facebook characters, but because the Mii characters look noticeably better if you pay attention to details. The Miis at least had decent lighting on their bodies and a shiny sheen applied to them to prevent them from falling into the uncanny valley. Mii body parts weren't painted with a bright, flat fullbright color, as they appear to have color gradients and basic lighting, which breaks up the color and makes them easy on the eyes. Meanwhile, that facebook character in the GIF had completely constant "full-bright" lighting with completely flat and bright colors and no sheen of any kind. It hurts your eyes to look at the Facebook character. It's almost as if the Miis were designed by artists who knew how to design something that's appealing to look at, expressive, versatile, and simple to render even on old hardware, whereas the Facebook characters were designed by people whose job it is to maintain an aging social media site.
I’ve found one really god use for it. A natural gas company here in Brazil is using it to replicate by the detail one of their gas plant.
They are giving training for their staff without any risk of personal.
Actually if you proceed to do some dumb mistake in the metaverse the plant explodes.
Its like a plain simulator.
Please keep encouraging Facebook to burn money on the Metaverse.
I pray Facebook goes under

Why do you hope that? What did facebook do to you?
You will loose whatsApp, instagram, facebook messanger and a lot of your "friends" whose contact you only have through messenger, and dont forget many talented people will lose their jobs
I dont care dor meta, the way it is now, its just second life on steroids, once we loose internet, we have darkness, but, maybe we could use its headset to add vr to real thing (this does have camera right, so you can see the real world if you want?)
I hope this is the one grand master plan behind all the Enn-Uff-Tee, May-Tuhh-Vurrs etc. horse shit floating around the cesspool known as "Internet".

What the Metaverse should be used for is creativity. That's really all it's good for.
I would love to work remotely in a 3D space with other employees to animate entire scenes for movies, tv shows and video games.
For a reference look up Dreams for ps4/5 or Quill VR.
In Horizon Worlds we could share games and animated experiences with everyone and see some of them in either our own spaces or in one Big Meta City with tons of games and experiences to see and do.
It's all there, Zuckerberg just has to put on the effort.
"Meta shot themselves in the legs which is probably why they have floating torsos"
Nice.

They had to invent legs for the sole purpose of shooting themselves in those.
Minor correction: the tech behind the wii isn't 10 years older than metaverse.
It's actually more than 20 years older than metaverse.
This.
For anyone wondering why, the Wii is essentially a Gamecube emulator with motion controls. As its focus was on that- motion controls- and not cutting-edge graphics, Nintendo didn't exactly update the hardware.
@@HandleDisliker Oh thanks I finally got the responses for a question I had for multiple years (Why is the Wii less powerful than the Gamecube ? Like seriously why does F-Zero GX work perfectly fine on Gamecube but lag really hard on the Wii)
@@HandleDisliker yeah when the wii came out in 2006 we were all really shocked how terrible the graphics were,, but the controls were so cool and the way the multiplayer worked were so cool that it still did really well
He did say Wii U, but yeah the design of Miis is 15 years old.
He was specifically referring to the miiverse. Not the wii itself.
Meta’s decisions are currently hurting or may hurt even further the VR industry. There are places where virtual reality is being used as a hang out space that are way better than anything we currently see from Meta or things that tag themselves as being part of the “Metaverse”. Sadly, these things are more than likely gonna be hurt by these bad decisions.

Yeah exactly lol, like shopping in a mall in aisles and picking up a product on a shelf instead of scrolling a web page. But, the only nice thing could be when you shop online with a VR headset, you can take the object you wanna buy in your hands and see how big it is and how it's shaped in 3D. I'M not even sure it's related to the facebook metaverse tho.
Also the fact they are acting like this is a new concept when it's been done since the 90s

I didn't even realise the Metaverse had launched yet. I assumed it was something they were still working on that might be launched a few years from now.
Omg same
Didn’t you know? For the past couple of years EVERYTHING has been in pre alpha release hell. I guess that is extended to the Metaverse as well and not just games. Maybe at some point they’ll see the trends
I also had no idea. That shows how bad this shit flopped
The Metaverse is a concept that has been around for a long time and was not invented by Meta. The metaverse reference in the video (decentraland) has no affiliation with Meta.
@@cleb94 yeah we no that but I didn't notice it was already realised yet
Awesome video and your comment about the meetings that could be replaced by a short email is so true.
Zuck’s Meta Avatar is about the only thing creepier than Zuck himself. I’m looking forward to Facebook being a penny stock and Zuck returning to whatever planet he came from
You should see the Zuck Chucky doll.
It's hilarious that the old Oculus company actually had a working model for full body tracking using a webcam (not even a Kinect) before they were assimilated into Facebook, but it suddenly vanished after its showcase.
Zuck is trying so hard to claim ownership over the VR space, meanwhile they're unable to get even the most basic functionality working while VRChat, NeosVR, ChilloutVR, ect. have done so for years.
It was a big loss for VR that oculus got absorbed by Facebook, the meta/oculus integration is just bs, and despite that I still think the Oculus is a good starting headset.

@@bluebowser3347 Or just add wheelchairs in an update if that's so important. It wouldn't be hard to make as the legs movements didn't have to be tracked.
@@bluebowser3347 that doesn't make much sense. How would a wheelchair be so much harder to animate than legs? Also, can you imagine the AI telling your disabled and putting your character in a wheelchair by default? Like one even has to be crippled in this fantasy universe 😂 its a funny idea tho.

@Alex a TH-cam video about it's failure : target audience : facebook dislikers
VR dev here! I work in academia, so I really hate metaverse because its made it really difficult to have VR in a lab environment. However, id like to provide some context to the issues you bring up, since some of these are def metaverse being silly as hell, but some are actually - believe it or not - just kind of VR best practices.
- First: VR has to render the scene stereoscopically. This means it renders the same scene twice from different perspectives (once to the left eye and once to the right eye) to get a realistic illusion of depth (you could render once then copy one eye to the other, but its not as believable and can be nauseating). Vr also must track a lot of positional data. This means VR apps need to be super optimized, so they can only handle graphics about as good as a mobile phone. Now, metaverse is ugly ugly and they worked very poorly within those constraints, but its super misleading and... really completely unapplicable to compare VR capabilities to something like ffxii (good taste though) or graphics in AAA games. Miiverse is a great example though, as those models were built to communicate character and expression without HD graphics. VR chat would also be a good example, or even vtubers! because you can see what people have done with 10k polygon limitations in VR :) (seriously, imagine if your polygon limit was the equivalent of a kratos nipple)
- Dynamic shadows are extremely expensive to process as well, and from the perspective of someone in VR, you rarely rarely look down at your legs or notice not having shadows. When I introduce someone to VR, not having legs is often one of the first observations, but its... never reallly brought up again! Also: legs can actually be nauseating if theyre in app, because - like you mentioned - tracking can rarely work well for legs. Not just technologically, but practically! Different heights can mean sensors within the HMD- which have become more commonplace- cant really see the feet of taller people. If the legs are out of sync with your actual feet, it can cause simulation sickness (essentially reverse motion sickness). Also- you guessed it, cutting out an ultimately unnecessary part of the model saves on our 'budget' for graphics. Basically, no legs is standard in VR, even preferrable, but it looks weirder when youre watching footage and not in VR. Granted, this really only works for solo vr games - in multiplayer its just as weird.
- quest pro virtual office is a total fucking meme to vr devs. Its absolutely ridiculous. No one wants to wear a headset that long, hands down, theyre way too uncomfortable and heavy. One thing my team always asks before taking on a project is: does this need to be VR? And in this case: hell no!
(Edited bc my - marks made it strikethrough lol)
Thanks for the explanation!
Loved this, but spaces between paragraphs would encourage more people to read it.
This comment should be upvote
Imo getting leg trackers was the best thing to happen for immersion I did next to actually buying the index itself
Just wanted to stop and say that this was a concise, yet thoroughly presented, video and I appreciate it. As a bonus meme, I love your personal rendition for the big tech stocks abbreviation lmao 💀
I, for one, applaud Facebook / Meta for driving itself into the ground by using all its money to advance VR technology.
This way we get both better VR tech faster AND no more Facebook. To me that's a win/win.
A win-win but we get both of the wins :)
Meta isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. But do whatever is cathartic for yourself
They didn't advance or create anything of value, their bureaucracy monster ate all that money.
Exactly, I understand what Meta trying to do, and I can clearly see it in my child generation future. (But giving, not just personal data but our daily life and what we do in our job to company that notorious selling it to the highest bidder? Na'ah)
It's a boon in the short-term, but once they fail it will scare big players off of the VR market for a while.
The headset not being able to track your legs is not an excuse. Literally a couple of NEETs made a mod for Skyrim called VRIK, and it simulates your full body including legs and feet. It's not 100% accurate of course, but it does a damn good job at approximating your movement, all in a FREE MOD in a crappy VR port of a 2011 game using an engine from the early 2000s.
That's because NEETs make things for the sake of making things, whereas corpos make things for the sake of making money. It's not about producing anything people either need or want anymore, it's just about making sure there's always something to spend money on and trusting to their propaganda team to make sure people buy it.
Also, VR chat manages the legs issue just fine. Even with just the headset, the walking animations and approximation for the leg bending looks totally fine. And for people who want to go further and actually get full body tracking, then you add another layer of immersion. The legless avatars look terrible.
there's a pretty famous quote from a German rapper. It goes something like "I don't train my legs cuz you can't see them in the club". And Meta took that literally.
Agreed. VR Chat and VRIK mod look really decent w/o full body tracking. Shows that big corporations are so mired in politics that small startups, and even game modders, are more innovative. It's possible to do full body tracking with the Quest with just an Xbox 360 Kinect, but I haven't seen much use for it unless I had a 360 treadmill.

@@crimson_oracle I blame sci-fi.
It is easy to miscalculate in this profession because you always have to predict the future including the influence of your own inventions. And this is different from, say, the car industry, where innovation is slow and the use of cars basically never changes. But information technology progresses so rapidly that it is impossible to get it right.
@@Puschit1 Even then, it's obvious from the overwhelming public reactions that they're making awful decisions. Anybody who knows a thing about VR knows nobody wants to use it to attend Zoom meetings and sit in an office. The fact that they've dumped billions into this shows they're massively overconfident in ill-formed ideas.
I'd be curious on how this could be applied to animation, specifically 3d animation and modeling. It would be cool to be able to model in 3d in this kind of enviroment, but that would never see the kind of return zucc is sinkin in to this.
That's true and it already exists. I don't have a vr headset or anything but I know there are programs to do sculpture, 3d modeling, painting etc in VR
Not sure but maybe the open source community has done something already too!
Also (I think****) you can open non VR programs in VR (not actually sure of this is done with that open source tool that allows you to run non VR games in VR) obviously it's just the window floating in VR space and no actual 3d interactivity like the other softwares where you can actually walk around your sculpture or painting but i guess you could make the window bigger so that you can work at a bigger scale
100% spot on , there may be industrial use cases which you didn’t cover such as digital Twins etc however I even they don’t justify all the hype in my opinion
It's baffling that even 6th gen Tony Hawk games, which came out 15-20 years ago, look a lot better than the Metaverse. The game that Kenny used in his example is 16 years old. I know VR can be hungry for resources, but it's still not an excuse for the models to look like cheap cartoon models made by an indie game developer when the budget is a lot higher than most games. There's this thing called optimization, and I don't think Meta is using it.
I'm sure it's only fair to give it a fair comparison like beat saber, an actual vr games, yes vr is power hungry but the minimum requirements to run vr is actually a lot lower, how so?
there's a lot of optimization need to be done, like player shouldn't see a stuttering or lagging graphic, and it's to prevent motion sickness and other illness, but even then the graphic shouldn't be this bad considering the amount of budget spend, they could've done some optimization like reducing polygon in environment, only loads the environment that the player sees, like at least they could've done something
VR Chat is virtually the same thing as the Metaverse and has better and more varied models

There's been leaked internal emails from Meta where managers say that their workers need to use the Metaverse more, and that they can't fall in love with it if they don't use it. In other words, Meta's own employees don't want to use the Metaverse for the very thing it was designed for, and are being made to because forcing them to will make them like it. Genius. I'm starting to wonder if this is some sort of money laundering scheme.
So, those 600 people online in metaverse are likely all reluctant employees? Even funnier...
The last game Zuck played was Civilization III, so he thinks that graphics in the Metaverse is mind-blowing. There's a whole department of top-notch 3D art talent that exists only on paper.
Probably not, looking more like desperate to impress investors.
The idea is understandable, they clearly need more testers from their main target group?
As someone who studies and works in the field of VR/AR and such, I meet really often people who wanted to include these technologies just for the sake of it. I can imagine that someone with a lot of money had the idea "hey it would be cool to make a mii verse for meetings BUT in VR". While I want to believe that they did market research I get the feeling that just the social aspect of being there as a VR avatar is the only thing that really differentiates this from Zoom/Teams. I mean compare the user journey:
Zoom:
Put on headset, turn on cam (if not automatically) and start zoom/teams, enter meeting ID or similar data, go
Metaverse:
turn on vr headset (check for battery/put in loading cable), put it on, Connect to metaverse, find room/follow invite, try not to get motion sick, go.
That was just seen in the context of meetings. Of course you can do other stuff which will be really average I guess, but at this point, it conveys the feeling to be the son of Zoom and VR chat. And even VR chat has legs though.

Nintendo doesn’t focus on graphics hardware, yet their games always look incredible. This is because they hire really, REALLY good artists. It looks like Facebook forgot to hire any artists at all on this project.
Yup. Also it's incorrect to say that they never cared about cutting-edge graphics. They used to care. Gamecube was their last beefy device tho. In some ways better than PS2, in some other ways worse. Ever since the massive success of Wii Nintendo has switched its priorities and they try to recreate this success. This had kind-of worked with Switch, altough if you ask me, I have no faith that this approach could still work for the next generation, especially given the hype for VR and real-time raytracing - both revolutionary technologies that require beefy hardware.

Their biggest problem is that in their attempt to appeal to normies and investors they made sure their metaverse is as inoffensive and locked-down as possible.

1. Thing that would make this a smart move: if they develop the virtual platform and it is fully integrated into workflows. Then, once the goggles finally become contacts. It would be pretty usable, even outside and in shops and on the street and stuff.
Minor correction: Miis as a whole predate the Miiverse, which is basically twitter on Wii U, which did release when you said they did, 2015. Miis were unveilied as the main Avatar on the Wii in 2006, and still see use on the Switch today, even if they're more hidden than they once were.
With tecnology of 22 years ago, as the Wii was still kind of as powerfull as a Gamecube, that came out in 2001
@Whats🅰pp±⓵⓹⓻⓽⓸⓻⓼⓻⓻⓺⓼ L
Yes this is what I was also thinking. Miis came from the original Wii, and have their own charm and simplistic appeal. They are iconic (both literally and figuratively) and serve their role perfectly fine as a bobble-head that can be stuck onto 3D models in whatever game they are needed in.
Miiverse launched in 2012, not 2015.

The problem I have with the Metaverse is that it has no purpose.
Like, TH-cam is for videos, Reddit is the Internet divided into small parts by different topics, Twitter is a place where companies announce news and people argue, games are supposed to be played, and so on.
A successful product needs a clearly defined purpose, while Meta's goal is to build a third life which is very abstract and obscure and is not really needed.
I agree it's not clearly defined, but many people prefer their virtual lives to their real lives.
Games too, like any entertainment, is an escape.
But I think this characterization is incorrect anyway. FB has showed a bunch of scifi-futurism which can just be ignored..
FB's metaverse actually looks more like it wants to be a platform for making games and experiences. A Roblox competitor of sorts.
And in the long run I think it'll also become an app store - which could be key. It'll act as the goto meeting place where you discover new products and launch your experiences, especially with friends. FB will bribe some game devs and other artists to launch their stuff there. Now it's competing with Apple's App store, Steam and maybe even Netflix and Spotify. Add in legacy FB integration and you got a serious package.
And forget the notion that it'll be a VR only thing. It'll run on your phone, pc, everywhere. No mass adoption without platform agnosticism. The real money is in the metaverse, not hardware.
Anyway, maybe the skeptics will be right.. But I've rarely seen so many people use so little imagination while criticising only what they see.
If I wanted a very abstract third life I'd just play vrchat while high.
But the problem with metaverse is that in the end it comes down to putting roadblocks in place where there weren't roadblocks before. The Metaverse can never be as engaging as real life interactions, it's just not possible. Online has convenience as it's selling point and metaverse is all about taking that away.
Huh? Videos. What's that...why would anyone watch a screen....whats the point of that? 🤔

They should have probably showed their vision for it first. Like how they could do it (already) with lots of additional tech. That would at least look good from the outside, but they decided to show what you can do with a (former) 300$ headset instead of a 3000$ full tracking set.
In VR things always appear different then videos of it. I didnt try the metaverse yet, despite having the tech (Just not interested, since I'm the only one in my social circle with a vr headset). But I don't think it seems as bad as it looks.

An idea like Metaverse already existed in Second Life. People had virtual avatars and bought (with real money) virtual land in an online platform that was nothing more than a glorified chat room. The difference is that it was fun, you could make stuff in the built in 3d engine (anything you could imagine) and people used it to escape reality for a few hours. Meta is none of that.

I've wondered a few times if Facebook thinks they're doing with VRChat what TH-cam did with the porn streaming sites back in the day. Take the technology developed by the fringe communities and repackage it in a more palatable way.
Heck, it took an indie company saying “fine, we’ll do it ourselves” and basically crowdfunding a VR headset development push up until near-completion to finally get the larger corporations rolling on their own sets. They don’t want to test the limits. They just want to stay well within the safety of their profit margins.

Zuck even got sunburn from wearing vr headsets for too long
Zuckerberg simply wanted to turn the "Metaverse" into something like The Oasis from Ready Player One, that's why he was so hard on it and made the push around when the Oculus Quest 2 released. It's simply just too early to monopolize on something like this and now he's paying for it lmao
Exactly. He thought it would be easy to turn a fictional creation (the Oasis) into reality and do it quickly.
Oasis has already existed long time before even the book was written. Gmod is a good comparison on how little to no creativity Ready Player One Oasis has on actual working game, another note for comparison is VR Chat with the large amount of accessibility that VR Chat and G-mod which these programs doesn't really force/restrict it users to use a specific VR headset unlike Meta.
Exactly. And the thing is that he is more like the villain in that movie, than the creators of that VR world.
The big difference between the "Zuck"verse and Oasis is that Oasis was, well, pretty damn good when it released. Zuck's metaverse has a barely working platform and is trying to entice suckers to devote their time into slaving away for free with no real upside, and everyone with half a brain cell knows that Zuck is gonna lock everything down and build toll roads every 5 meters once the metaverse becomes big and what the hell can developers do about it anyway?

I own a Quest 2 and barely find any use out of it because there's simply no "killer app" that makes me want or need to use the headset daily. Finally, she left for a bit so I snuck the Quest Pro out of the box to try it again before I had to leave, and noticed the thing was HOT.
