@matrix Mark spent billions just to make a VRChat with Facebook telemetry.
That's hilarious

@matrix
"video chat does not give you the same level of anonymity".

Bruh... You're talking about Facebook. What kind of green drug was he taking?

oh. now it makes sense.

@LukeAlmighty He's technically right, but like you said, it's Facebook

@matrix @matrix Too bad a possible "fedi-metaverse" would be a mess to develop.

@berkberkman Would it though?

@matrix @matrix Not everyone has or will be using VR. Plus getting it all to run on only FOSS software is impossible since most of the current VR drivers don't work or partially work.

@berkberkman Oh that's true. I didn't consider that. I was just think about the server architecture.

@yangwenli it's vrchat but 100% sterile

@LukeAlmighty My guess is combination of using a modern bloated engine on a mobile battery powered chip having to run at stable 90fps and inoffensive corporate art style

@matrix
I guess it is a seriously bad artstyle choice, but we live in an age, where power of GPU is no longer an excuse. That is why I chose Qake of all games to compare it to.

This game (rangers of oblivion) ran on my last phone. (it is no longer active)

@matrix
Although yeah. I didn't realize it was running on the headset itself.

@LukeAlmighty I also forgot to add that the headset has to analyze the camera inputs to do the headtracking

@matrix
And that is kinda stupid when you think about it.

The goggles are going to be useful in 10 years. So, I hope it can be connected to PC and used normally, since otherwise, they made is obsolete in 2 just based on CPU limits.

@LukeAlmighty I believe they can but it's a bit fucky
