I think in some reactions, there's an element of "I can't justify this cost, so I want to convince myself I don't want it." I can't justify this early version, but at $1k I'd be quite happy to strap on the

Watch what people do in game lobbies like Fortnite, which are a bit of an open world: mindlessly destroy things, troll other people, show off superficial things like dance moves. A metaverse needs a bit more purpose, and constraints - a the

I wonder if Epic/Fortnite have much exploration going in this area or if they're too limited by a fear of harming their cashcow? They have fantastic visuals/engine, a huge young audience, creative environments and established

I've competed in a sport that involves hiking through the night (24 hour events, always coinciding with a full moon) and I've also camped a lot, so I have dozens of strong memories like this. But like you said, for large parts of

I don't disagree, but there are many elderly people with an irrational relationship with money in their later years. A friend talks about his 80+ year old neighbour with money in the bank and literally no family at all to leave an esta
