Can also recommend, Daniel is my guilty pleasure. It’s only a matter of time before he starts making content in the Metaverse. (What? You’re telling me that the decades-old Second Life and Garry’s Mod are still more compelling than Horizon Worlds? But I thought they spent millions?)

>decades-old Second Life and Garry’s Mod are still more compelling than Horizon Worlds If I’d have been in Zucks shoes I would have Skunkworked Horizon, don’t let any of it touch the rest of meta till it’s successful and hire the entire dev and design team from ModDB, GarysMod community, Roblox game makers, VRChat community and 4chan. Because those are the places where the massively multiplayer extremely social experiences that captivate for decades are born, not the metrics driven social media timeline optimization set.

I would argue that Second Life is, and has been, a type of Metaverse. People can even use VR headsets these days.

  The original thing called "Metaverse", in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash from 1992, described users buying virtual land from a finite area and populating it with their own buildings, and creating their own Avatars. I'm pretty sure Second Life was directly inspired by the Metaverse.

Bowmaster Daniel [0] is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at any internet video. Like, all the way to tears during the "intruder" climax. That poor kid was so earnest, and it's so mean, but... damn if it isn't hilarious. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssr1PMSNvwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssr1PMSNvwk
