Yes, folks. I finally caved in. I entered the Metaverse. I caved in to Mark Zuckerberg’s demands and dreams and I decided to step my toes into the virtual world of the Metaverse for myself. I encountered a bunch of lovely people, including what seems to be a crude depiction of Nikocado Avocado turning into Golden Freddy from FNAF and yelling in Finnish a bunch of random words, from which I learnt a lot of Finnish words, actually.
Now, to be factual on this: this is just VRChat. It’s a so-called metaverse virtual reality game that you can easily play for free. I was able to use my own avatar custom-tailored by BillionWatt and converted into VRChat format to sort of dive into the virtual reality world. But imagine for one second what Facebook (now Meta) has been offering us:
Yikes.
Yes. There’s so many things that are wrong with Facebook’s offering of the Metaverse, aside of the fact that VRChat has already done it ages ago and way better; one of them is the fact that you shouldn’t trust a corporation like Meta to touch your personal data here.
I was joking around in VRChat about “selling my biometric data and heartrate to Mark Zuckerberg” even, and funnily enough, I discovered recently that very recently Facebook faced another lawsuit for selling unauthorized biometrics. Would you really want to step your toes into their metaverse at this point?
I mean, it’s not funny anymore. There’s many, many things that Meta is doing with your privacy at this point that it would count as much of a skeleton closet as a Plutonia monster closet full of Revenants. VRChat is better than this because at least you’re not gonna end up selling your sperm count in your girly ballsack to Mark Zucc.
So maybe I’m on VRChat to stay there.
There’s even a fun ballpit in VRChat. I wanna see you try, Zucc.
