    Facebook would get more attention for the metaverse if they were honest about what VR is really like.

      No, there’s plenty of alcohol involved. It’s even a joke among some players that VRchat itself is a drinking game. Back when I played I joined a drinking group every Friday. It’s weird to see how people naturally remove their virtual clothes as they get more drunk.

    Shit like this is why VR hasn’t taken off as it could have. Too many children and too many man-children. Public spaces in almost every game/social platform are full of toxic ass clowns.

      Eh? This is not the thing driving people away. The price and lack of varied library is.

      In fact, if people were more aware of this, I think it’d be slightly more popular.

      I think VR has been held back more by expenses and a lack of many good games or a killer app. There’s Half Life Alex which is probably the closest thing to a killer app, but most VR games are low budget as a result of the small market and it shows most of the time. Also most VR games are still in that phase where they’re figuring out the formula.

      Plus most people don’t want to own anything Meta makes for pretty reasonable privacy concerns.

        meta also tries to kill anything going to other standalones, so they employ anticompetitive practices too

      Most of the true VRChat experiences happen in invitation-only rooms. It’s one of the apps where networking and growing a friends list makes a huge difference in terms of knowing where the party is happening.

      Playing gorilla tag with a bunch of 12 year olds who enthusiastically want to help you get better at the game seems pretty wholesome to me.

      Gaming’s toxicity is entirely correlated to the actual game you’re playing. Team based competitive PvP is typically going to be more toxic than any sort of PvE or PvPvE game.
