And once the work day is over, I come home to my piece of virtual land knowing the (real) loan I took to purchase it has gotten a little bit smaller yet again, and that in a few months I will finally be able to afford virtual workers to build a virtual building in this virtual land
Oh gee, I wonder why none of it has gone anywhere. I can't imagine anything more fun than sitting in a virtual meeting room looking at a powerpoint presentation on a virtual screen, depleting the life force of everyone involved. It's truly a mystery
"Oh you want to be a dragon? How weird and unprofessional. What would your fellow human beings think? No, all you get is a copy of your face on a humanoid torso. The legs will be added later maybe."
To be clear, this wasn't a diss at VR, but rather corpos who're faced with a technology to create entire worlds free of physical constraints, and all they come up with is boring corpo bullshit and bringing back all the constraints from the physical world.
@IceWolf I consider Firefish's method to be the gold standard: posts are only indented if there are sibling replies, otherwise it's a linear list for the given depth. It's great at keeping threads readable and still easy to understand.
Remember when corpos were hyped about VR and came up with all those exciting virtual realities where you can be your worksona and have virtual meetings?
