What was your gateway into RP stuff? Nothing I've ever given much thought to trying... and yet, I'm curious.
When I was a kid, I was into Habbo Hotel and Gaia Online. Habbo led to Gaia which led me to the idea of posting on forums. Neopets adjacent, I guess - that was never my thing but I imagine some of those people might’ve had a similar enough experience to what I had. They had RP sections on their boards - stuff you could apply to and write post-by-post. Mostly fandom related, but you also had stuff like “apply to my boarding school RP! War roleplay!” I did this for a while, dabbling in MMO roleplay along the same while. Heaps and heaps of now-dead social MMOs. Sure, you got stuff like IMVU, but does anyone remember ‘There’?
You had to keep it clean - those were the rules. No cybering allowed, chump. People did it anyway. There’d be occasional ban waves of people foolish enough to do it openly, whether that was from forum advertisements or, in Gaia’s case, using their worldspaces like ‘towns’ which were monitored a lot heavier than PMs, but it was still always there.. at one point Gaia attempted to directly market to this potential audience with an attempted ADULT version of Gaia Online called ‘tentacl’ - it went offline after a year or so. Anyway - eventually, you would heard whispers and fearful rumblings about this /after dark/ lawless place where you could write anything you goddamn pleased, TOS be damned. Sometimes people would get banned just mentioning it in public. It was called F-List, and it was basically just another forum and IRC client but 🔞 and with a kink favorability organizer, and there was/is a constant war fought on whether that F stood for fetish or furry (even though I’m pretty sure the site owners were like ‘yeah it’s furry-list’ I mean cmon be realistic here.) Abominable place. But you could write /sex/ there and you wouldn’t even get banned for it! Such tantalizing freedom.. that many, of course, flocked to and lied about their age to sign up on. Definitely not me. This is not an admission of guilt of something I did years and years ago.
I know a lot of people who got their start through WoW, Second Life, Livejournal, or leapfrogged from writing fic to writing things on the side with their friends - AIM messenger, Yahoo messenger, Skype, now Discord - or more specific forums, like Court Records for Ace Attorney (my old home…) but that was my little path. Tabletop was a pretty recent step in the journey for me, all things considered

I'll complain about habbo hotel another second then i'll move on (until it annoys me again) but i'm baffled how you can not try at all to write an aspec character and yet everyone loses their minds for him, like as if he genuinely was good representation.
(This will be a long one.)
I know some people would yell at me and tell me 'HE IS!!' and maybe he is to you because you like the character, but like he is not... objectively good representation. I'm not talking about him being evil (although, that's another subject...), i'm talking about how from what i have seen the show doesn't try to present his aspec identity at all, other than like one comment (and only about his asexuality not his aromanticism). Truthfully that man is practically a 'confirmed outside the show' character. People only lose their mind about him being an aroace icon because they like habbo hotel and they like the red edgy guy, and only because of that he is an aroace icon. Not because he is good representacion, it's just because a popular guy just happens to be confirmed aroace without showing his aroace identity at all.
I'd just roll my eyes at this and move on, but this man has become inescapable if you are aspec. I have never seen this happen with ANY aspec character, not even lily from theowlhouse, another very popular show. This man is just everywhere in aspec tags, people constantly post about him, to praise or to complain it doesn't matter anymore, people post about him being aroace over and over again. And for what. For a nothing representation. I know characters that i headcanon as aspec that have more on screen proof to be possibly aspec than arguably the most popular confirmed to be aroace character of the moment.
I barely see fans of him point out 'man i wish they wrote this better, i wish they were more upfront about it, we deserve better representation' but no i just see praise after praise, like this character invented being aroace, he just didn't show it in the show he is in
And like, there is a lot of aphobia surrounding how fans treat the character? Absolutely (but also what do you expect from fans of a deeply offensive edgy humor southpark like show). But also like, if the show bothered at all to give his identity the bare minimum to shine, i'm sure at least some people would understand better. Also there is people that don't participate in fandoms and just watch shows casually, do you think these people would know that this man is actually aroace just by watching the show? I really doubt it, maybe they would get he is ace, but not aro.
And all of this just for this guy, a nothing representation. We have complained about how we deserve on-screen representation, we deserve actual stories about us, we deserve to be a big focus on a story. But all of this is just patting writers in the head and telling them it's okay if you give us absolutely nothing or maybe crumbs, we'd be happy with just that! We'll think your character is amazing representation! Thank you for your hard work!
It's so depressing, not only because it's a habbo hotel character, but also how the representation is empty and people lose their minds for it. Not to mention all the actual real and good aspec representation that is out there, all the really good aspec characters, that either get ignored or praised for one second. But i guess those don't matter, because the edgy red guy from habbo hotel is aroace apparently

No sorry I didn’t mean people banned in main coming back in alts I mean ppl with alt accs to get money I just don’t see how anyone could care tbh unless you inflate stuff and join raffles twice, but now that I think about it it’s rare when they don’t do wrong stuff in alts so
you're good! i get what you mean, but even making an alt just for in-game benefits gives you an unfair advantage over other players. lots of websites where alts run rampant have really big economy and balancing issues, so reporting alts keeps the site fun and fair. there are better ways of making money, and they're much less risky as well! /lh
#this isn't like directed at you specifically anon just kind of a general psa#i just remember how every premium retro hotel back in the day would have people joining games with a thousand alts#because they were almost completely unmoderated#god that was a nightmare. god i miss it#is that like a dutch people thing btw? do other countries have habbo ripoffs like that?#whenever i mention retro hotels to people theyre like. wtf are you talking about#but idk if that's because i'm old or because they're american

general shigaraki headcanons
notes: SFW, mentions of abuse (not explicit nor detailed), manga spoilers (anime onlys watch out)
takes long ass showers that are hotter than the devil’s bellybutton
he knows it makes his skin even MORE dry, but he’s gonna keep doing it anyway
bc that’s who he is 💁🏾♀️
he was motivated to do a skincare routine when dabi told him he was “way grosser in person,” he took that remark SO personal 😭
him and dabi totally bond over their complicated skin situations tho u cant tell me different
dabi is nagging about ointments for his burns and maintenance for his staples and shigaraki is nagging about his water-resistant skin, perfect.
he is addicted to those ASMR transformation vids on tiktok
kurogiri has definitely walked in on him watching these types of videos multiple times.
shiggy has NEVER picked up a cosmetic item in his life, but he’s so confident that he could do a full face of makeup just from watching those transformation videos on a daily.
he’s an intuitive eater. doesn’t have those 3 meals a day, he eats whatever he wants, whenever he’s hungry.
the type to eat 9 small meals throughout the day instead of the standard 3
he likes to eat by himself, bc he feels judged for no damn reason when he eats with others.
totally has a sweet tooth. i see him indulging on sweet breakfast foods like french toast, pancakes, waffles and croissants… things like pastries, pies, tarts and muffins.
not too sweet though. if there’s icing or fondant on a cake, he’ll scrape it off.
this man can’t stomach an entire chocolate bar without getting that icky feeling or acting like he ate a popeyes biscuit
he likes fruit. his favs are grapes, apples, honeydew and mango.
he prefers black and red grapes over the green ones
somebody on this app said they wanna sit in shigaraki’s lap and feed him grapes or apples and it lives in my head RENT FREE
after becoming the leader of the paranormal liberation front, he’s drowning in re-destro’s cash so he splurges out on more red shoes and becomes a sneakerhead.
red dunks, red jordans, red bapestas, red rick owens, red Praise The Lord 3000s
imagine him wearing red timbs
he’d KILL these shoes 😭

financially responsible but not afraid to treat himself.
he might even treat his beloved league too if they ever ask.
definitely grew up playing online games
toontown, club penguin, wizard101, poptropica, roblox, minecraft, habbo hotel
if there is an animal that shigaraki really resembles, it’s a cat.
shiggy takes his sweet time getting to know people but when he’s comfortable, he’s comfortable. he’s open to giving praise, words of encouragement and morale to his people, (the league) he’s sort of like a personal hypeman
he’s the type of friend who constantly denies that you’re his friend, but you know DAMN WELL he sees you as one 😑
people often hc him as a straight up social recluse who does nothing but play video games, but i don’t think he’d be like that. he’s the leader (below AfO) so naturally he’s going to spend a lot of time surrounded and scheming with his followers. how do you lead an entire army when you’re rotting away in your room???
i see him as someone who simply values their space, but doesn’t mind being social. he’ll come around when he wants
he’s too preoccupied with his villain activities so i don’t think he has time to listen to much music
what little music taste he has would for sure come from video game and movie soundtracks. he’s into metal, nu-metal, and avant-garde music.
he has a place in his heart for children that have been through similar predicaments as him. children who have been discarded and abandoned by everybody, children who have been used and abused, children who have been taken advantage of, children who never got a chance to be children.
don’t get him started on abusive parental figures and how the heroes handle troubled children… molding them to be tools to carry out their agenda…. like hawks for example
i mean… look what he did to overhaul
you cannot tell me that shiggy, dabi, and mr. compress don’t keke about what he did to overhaul. they do impressions of him and keep themselves laughing for too long 😭
it’s what he deserves after severing mr. compress’ arm, killing magne and doing what he did to eri
they lose their shit TIME and TIME again whenever dabi imitates his scream.
magne is looking down from heaven, also joining in with their laughs
common headcanon but if eri fell into his hands, they’d definitely quirk train. shiggy decaying stuff, and eri using her rewind quirk on the said decayed stuff.
him and dabi also bonded bc of their mutual hatred of endeavor. endeavor’s a hero so by default, shiggy isn’t fond of him. but on top of that, he’s abusive and in a quirk marriage? he’s repulsed by that.
if he had a normal upbringing and went to school, he’d prefer mathematics over literacy. he would fucking love maths and i can’t stress this enough. he’d like science too specifically physics
i feel like shig has a fairly decent amount of education. he was raised by AfO, an evil mastermind and a ujiko, a doctor.
with that on top of his natural keen intellect, it’s as if he’s never missed out on a mainstream education
he’s more aware of the world than he appears, after all he knows about the “mother of quirks” and all that, but he prefers to stay away from social media. he think’s its literal garbage.
always uses a VPN and has a burner phone, laptop, EVERYTHING. he is not taking any chances.
THATS ALL! I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY THOUGHTS. MORE WORKS TO COME 💁🏾♀️

——— BASICS !
(PEN)NAME: I mainly go by Jassi - some people call me Jas. I’m cool with whatever you want to call me, so long as it’s not rude.
PRONOUNS: I’m okay with people either referring to me as she/her or they/them.
ZODIAC SIGN: Sagittarius/Scorpio cusp.
TAKEN OR SINGLE: Single and cool with it! What matters most to me is finding contentment with myself. I’m in no rush to get into a relationship but I’m also the type of person to go with the flow. Things can change in an instant but I’m happy with how things are right now.
——— THREE FACTS !
I used to do group RP’s primarily on Tumblr - I don’t even know if they’re really a thing anymore but in my early days, it was pretty fun and I met some cool people.
Among some of my jobs have been a call center, a pet store, a kindergarten class room, a retail store and a filing job. My current two jobs are grocery and working at a movie theater. I hope to someday work at a bookstore.
My favorite candies of all time are those little sour watermelons. Can’t get enough of those. I can’t stand those little Werthers candies - they just taste gross to me - I’ve never been big on a lot of ‘caramel’ or ‘butterscotch’ flavors. The only caramel I like is in Caramilk bars and sometimes, I’m in the mood for butterscotch pudding.
——— EXPERIENCE !
PLATFORMS USED: In the past, I used to use Chatzy fairly often which brings back some memories. In my early days, I wrote on Bulbagarden and Habbo Hotel. But right now, my two platforms of choice are mainly Tumblr and Discord.
——— MUSE PREFERENCE !
GENDER: I would say male muses, more often than not - I wish I could point to any one concrete reason, but I just don’t resonate with a lot of female muses. I write maybe one or two on Discord and they’re very infrequent.
LEAST FAVOURITE FACE(S): Dylan Everett - he’s a Canadian actor, who was on shows like Wingin’ It and Degrassi. I don’t really have an issue with Dylan, moreso that one of my more horrible group experiences involved a particularly nasty mun roleplaying as a character that he played on Degrassi. His character on the show was heavily speculated to be gay and canonically had depression. This mun would take these headcanons to extreme, quickly having their muse become extremely attached to any male RP blog that would show them even the slightest hint of attention. To any other muses, especially female ones - they were extremely nasty and had a habit of picking fights. They would often treat other female muses in the group as their ‘love rivals’ and would often initiate threads with these muses, usually under the pretense of them hanging out or studying together, only for the thread to quickly spiral into complete insanity when they would begin threatening these female muses and writing their character holding knives to their throats simply for ‘standing in the way’. OOC, their behavior was also completely wretched and they posted someone’s IP address over a petty dispute over Demi Lovato music. Definitely ruined the faceclaim for me after that.
MULTI OR SINGLE: Single blog for now - I’ve speculated about doing another blog which is still very much a work in progress but I’m trying to take things slow because good things come to those who wait. I’m often reluctant to go multi because I usually know Ryuji will win out and I won’t be able to divide attention evenly between the two.
——— FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT !
FLUFF: I love it - it’s like a warm hug and just what you need on a crappy or boring day. I’m always in the mood for fluff.
ANGST: I do love my angst but sometimes angst that’s especially on the heavier side can be difficult for me to focus on. You ever just get a little too much angst to the point where you want to write happy things instead? That’s me sometimes. Angst is amazing but you have to be in the right mood or headspace for it.
SMUT: I’ve mentioned before that I’m okay with ‘fade to blacks’ or explicitly mentioning our muses have/had a sexual relationship. Someone made a good point about focusing on the intimacy and the romance as opposed to just writing porn for the sake of the porn and I agree with that.
PLOT / MEMES: Definitely plot OOC but I can wing it as well. I feel perfectly comfortable with sending people memes and initiating things via memes, though after a certain point, I do hope that will be reciprocated to some degree. I’m also more than okay with receiving memes - ecstatic even! I’m grateful to every person who sends a meme.
TAGGED BY: @more-than-a-princess (Thanks!)
TAGGING: Honestly, whoever wants to try this! This was a really interesting questionnaire and I hope you were able to learn a thing or two about me! Now, I can’t wait to learn about you!

Have any of these people existed on a site besides Cherp before? They act like half the internet isn't anonymous, let alone websites like Omegle and f-list that have existed before it. I'm just confused as to where they got the idea that this is for their safety
Hm.
Okay so to give you some history of the site and why the rule was instated in the first place. Now, granted, a few of the details might be muddied and messy. But here's the general gist of it;
There was a few instances near the beginning of Cherps history where the site had to go offline so that the feds and team could scope through the code, after it was revealed that a minor was roleplaying nsfw content with an adult and they'd moved off site. After this happened a few times, they banned minors from the site altogether (this, in my opinion, was a good call, especially after getting multiple modding experiences under my belt keeping minors in your spaces is just asking for more trouble then it's worth) and said that people couldn't contact one another off site because so long as you're on the site, the bracket 18+ anonymous rule protects you from any liability that comes if a minor (inevitably) does slip in through the cracks.
While omegle and flist are good comparisons, I think a better comparison is probably sites like roled (who, rest in peace, is having trouble gaining traction. It's a good site, similiar concepts to cherp, with more lax rules regarding outside connections. I know the owner/team poke their nose in the tag, so maybe they have something more concrete to offer regarding laws surrounding 18+ websites and similiar situations) and mxrp. Neither of home, to my knowledge(?) Have rules regarding offsite connections. Now granted, this might have changed for mxrp, given that it's been through more drama in its lifetime then I have time to document and also are pretty tight knit with the cherp staff these days but digressions.
Though flist is also a good comparison, given that it's an 18+ roleplay site that started as a hobiest website that allows outside connections.
I've made this comparison before, but the only mainstream site I can think of with this sort of rule is habbo hotel, and that was a sort of. Like there's a lot to say about habbo hotel, but a bit part of that has to do with the fact that when you make your main social group on a site where you can't go offsite to talk, you're pressured into doing things that will make you more popular in that sites social sphere. Ie, inevitably spending money on the site to get better stuff, and look cooler.
I. Do not think that is what's happening here. I genuinely think that it's something that the mods just do not want to deal with, despite the way it evidentially inconveniences them (with the verification system) to find an alternative.
But you have to remember. A lot of the people on cherp are left over from those on cherubplay, as I mentioned earlier. And if we look at the state of the Homestuck fandom now, a lot of people that are still in it and attracted to it are so tail whipped by what pumpkin that it's laughable. So if mods are telling them that this is the only way to protect them, then so be it, and anyone that questions that is ungrateful to the time and energy the mod team has put into maintaining this site (because, you know. You can't both criticize someone and appreciate the work they put into things).
I think another good comparison is the nuzlocke forums. Which, unlike the other aforementioned sites is not 18+ but does host mature (not sexual) content under a 13+ rating. I've talked a little about my experiences being on staff team there, and I'm still wary to do so. But for all the shit I give it, I know for a fact the people keeping it up are all hobiest that deal with a shit load of stress and a thankless userbase. Like. Most roleplay and forum sites are hobiest sites, held up by the backbone of people that are passionate about what they do. None of them prevent offsite interaction because it's a Ludacris rule to uphold in the age of modern technology.
It's a little silly, in any other circumstance. I think.
Edit; I lied. The other times I can remember rules like this popping up are old school fanfiction archives that would lock their porn behind verification. But then people that thought that too much trouble went off and created their own websites. Because you could just do that back then. And many of them stayed up for long periods of time, until websites like ao3 and fanfiction dominated the market. But that's entirely a tangent for a different day.

yeah like i cant find ANY of the games and fun sites i played on as a kid
and like i interacted with other kids on those sites too! they were very kid friendly
and nowadays thats not so much a thing. removing those spaces and sanitizing adult/general spaces for ads is bad for EVERYONE
like. does anyone remember everythinggirl.com and their virtual charm bracelets and links to SO MANY girly-themed toys' websites, that just. had games. everywhere? the shortlived barbie mmo? that hotshot business game from disney? all the disney movies' games too. Toontown?! webkinz? neopets ofc (it still exists but it is less than a speck of a shadow of its former self). nick and cartoon network had so many games based off their shows. pbs had a whole SAGA of games based off of cyberchase with loads of puzzles and whatnot. what else did teens/tweens do...
IMVU, habbo hotel, club penguin, gaia online, 4kids tv (forums and games and chatrooms to talk to your fave "characters"), and I'm probably missing loads and loads more.
social media in the age of web 2.0 has honestly eroded a lot of the joy and safety we used to feel when it came to being on the internet and hanging out here and that's a fucking tragedy. like i even remember having fun on FACEBOOK, because part of the reason i joined was for all the games!! do you hear about games on facebook that are genuinely fun anymore?
i miss the internet of my childhood. sure, some of it is nostalgia, but i think it really was a lot freer. it had more of a wild west feel. and now it's been soul suckingly corporatized.
(edited to add: i realise that right, kids now have apps and stuff too to play on -- tho the ones we had back in the day were often just. buy this thing and play it. pay $1 for this and play forever. cute skins or new background music. the gacha stuff has really ruined mobile gaming.
but ANYWAY. a large portion of the games and internet spaces i mentioned weren't monetised, or heavily so. neopets ran on ads mostly and some people paid a premium subscription. webkinz just required a once yearly purchase of roughly $10usd or so. a lot of others were free and you could pay for convenience. and still others -- especially ones based off of existing franchises like all the tv network websites and toy company websites -- were just completely free. they assumed the engagement with their branded games was advertising in itself -- and it kinda was. but none of it was gated behind money.
if you were a poor kid but found your way to a computer with internet -- say, in a library -- you could just play those games all day and never spend a cent or even feel the need to. and they weren't tracking your data and selling it and bombarding you with 30 second ad breaks etc. and that's not really the case anymore.)
The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist
#my childhood#laisai talks about life#also just. this makes me want to go cyberpunk#like. does this not feel a lot like what cyberpunk as a genre predicted for the world?#we are still far off from that future i think#but the vibe of it is here already and it's upsetting

Metaverse: what is the Metaverse, how does it work and what is it for?
What is the Metaverse for?
There is nothing new about the development of scenarios and virtual worlds where each user develops their own avatar and interacts with other users. For instance, the video gaming industry has been creating games in this genre for approximately 20 years, including Habbo Hotel, Second Life, and World of Warcraft. Intentionally combining this kind of universe with web browsing and virtual reality.
In the Metaverse development services , it is desired that users engage in both leisurely browsing and useful activities like attending meetings or spending time with friends and family or at work.
This choice is particularly significant when we consider that the business debuted Horizon Workrooms in August 2021, which enables users to attend virtual conference rooms to connect with other coworkers, following a year of pandemic and remote work.
The Metaverse aims to bring individuals together simply by joining to the network, where they may engage on a deeper level. It does this by extending activities and removing geographical boundaries. Additionally, it serves to build environments that are comparable to the actual ones but free of barriers in order to increase chances for learning, working, or socialising.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Metaverse
Every technological advancement has always been met with both support and opposition, and the Metaverse is no different. There are benefits and drawbacks to this world, such as:
Advantages of the Metaverse
Equality and access to environments: Since virtual environments may be limitless, they can provide access to more individuals by removing barriers or restrictions and stimulating elements like education, training, and engagement.
New business prospects: As the Metaverse is expected to have its own economy, greater chances for business and entrepreneurship arise.
Flexible work arrangements: When the Metaverse is thriving, job flexibility will reach a new level as the remote’s frigid sense is removed in favour of working in virtual locations that deliver sensory sensations.
Opening of events: Other events and dynamics will emerge in every sphere, including those related to culture, sports, leisure, academia, tourism, and more.
Global interaction: Because there are no boundaries, the relationship forces individuals to think internationally and learn about other nations’ and cultures’ ways of life.
Metaverse Disadvantages
Aspects of “reality” may be overlooked if the Metaverse becomes as comprehensive as the actual world since more time would be spent in virtual settings, according to some experts.
Psychological and emotional issues: Since these virtual worlds’ effectiveness depends on users remaining connected for the longest amount of time possible, this might result in psychological and emotional issues including anxiety, disassociation from reality, and dissatisfaction, to mention a few.
Data vulnerability: If data security on the Internet is currently a significant concern, the threat will be higher with the Metaverse since individuals will share more, offer more of themselves in these virtual communities, and conduct numerous transactions and activities there.
Physical risks: Using gear and software to engage in experiencing Metaverse encounters might have unmeasured physical consequences. For instance, using virtual reality goggles would have long-term repercussions on the eyes.
A new technology must follow a certain acceptance and viability curve in order to be adopted and successful; yet, many individuals could not have access to these virtual settings, creating a technological gap.
How the Metaverse works
The Metaverse development company is already in use, but they are momentary or restricted virtual environments for a particular need. It is still not an open world where anyone may try to move about in it.
Companies, organisations, and individuals create virtual or dynamic environments on already-running virtual communities. People can join in various settings and communities in the vast network’s network by connecting to the Internet.
Companies are creating these areas because of the prospects the Metaverse offers and the potential revenue they may provide. In fact, according to a Bloomberg Intelligence estimate, its worth will surpass $500 million in 2021 and climb fivefold by 2030.
Let’s examine a few key features to better grasp how it functions:
A virtual universe with many habitats, communities, and places will exist when the Metaverse becomes an ubiquitous reality.
People will use gadgets to access the internet and create avatars, or virtual versions of themselves.
The avatar will wander about the virtual world and decide which locations and communities to interact with.
There will be links connecting and connecting everything. Therefore, there will be consumers who are consuming what is offered in those virtual environments on the one hand, and producers and generators of experiences that support the communities and spaces, on the other.
In the metaverse, it will be possible to interact with a variety of virtual things and engage in physical-world activities including attending events, shopping, conversing with others, studying, attending meetings, and much more because there are no boundaries in the virtual world.
In such a manner that the experiences are combined or there is some sort of synchronisation between the two realms, there will be a conjugation between the virtual and the physical. For instance, you may visit a home in a virtual setting, view it, and decide to buy it; after that, you would receive the keys to the home and be able to move in.
The Metaverse vs. virtual reality: what’s the difference?
We have said that virtual reality would assist the Metaverse thus far, but what is the actual distinction between these two concepts? There are at least five significant distinctions between the two, and we list them for you here:
1. Virtual reality is clearly defined; the metaverse, no
The definitions of the Metaverse and VR differ most noticeably from one another. As a result, while the definition of the phrase “virtual reality” may be found, the definition of the term “Metaverse” is far more hypothetical. The Metaverse, according to Mark Zuckerberg, is “a digital universe inhabited by digital twins of people, places, and things,” as part of the description.
These descriptions are, of course, a little hazy in comparison to what we know about virtual reality. Some have even ventured to speculate that the Metaverse is nothing more than a word play used to describe technological advancements of already existing items from the internet. It is also possible that the businesses responsible for the technology of the Metaverse, or Metaverse, do not have a complete definition either.
2. Facebook does not own any of these technologies
Who is actually in charge of defining the Metaverse is another subject that has not yet been fully resolved. Due to its ownership of the virtual reality headset manufacturer and retailer Oculus Rift, Facebook has a significant impact on the advancement of this technology. Despite this, Facebook is still just one player in a huge industry.
The same is true of the Metaverse: even if Facebook Inc. has changed its name to Meta, it is still merely one of several businesses creating this system. For instance, Microsoft recently unveiled Microsoft Mesh, their version of a mixed reality platform that is strikingly similar to the Metaverse and its many definitions. Furthermore, we might infer from Facebook’s recent statements that they perceive themselves as a component of the Metaverse rather than the Metaverse itself.
3. The Metaverse includes a shared virtual world
The Metaverse is a digital environment where individuals may communicate online while wearing virtual reality headsets. As a result, it is possible to see how the Metaverse’s virtual spaces are similar to other virtual spaces that already exist today in that users must create their own characters or avatars in order to interact with others in entirely virtual spaces. However, the Metaverse differs from current virtual spaces in that it appears that it will be able to grant access to the entire internet, unlike current virtual spaces (limited by size).
4. The Metaverse will not be limited by virtual reality
In other words, virtual reality won’t have any influence over the Metaverse. As an alternative, it may also be accessible using augmented reality gadgets or any other internet-connected device.
This makes way for many features that are incompatible with virtual reality. For instance, augmented reality could make it possible to project elements of the Metaverse onto the physical world. Some virtual environments will be made such that using a device is not required.
5. The Metaverse is potentially much bigger than virtual reality
Virtual reality is mostly utilised nowadays for entertainment, but it is also employed for healing, sports, and education. On the other hand, the Metaverse seems like a better version of the internet as we know it, at least in terms of scope. The Metaverse, unlike VR, is predicted to have a significant impact on how people work, access social media, and use the internet.
What implications will the Metaverse have in 2022?
In addition to technological effects, the Metaverse in 2022 will have cultural, societal, and personal effects as well. In the end, the Metaverse is a transformation of the person; each person’s choices are used to create an avatar. Furthermore, the Metaverse will make online activities considerably more immersive than current developments in virtual reality.
In other words, the Metaverse development solutions will enable us to engage with brands and immerse ourselves in virtual worlds in settings designed both for this and the consumption of other kinds of information. All technologies have benefits and drawbacks, and this fact is primarily what raises the first alarms in this respect. People lacking in social skills will discover opportunities to build personalities in the Metaverse that they would not otherwise have. However, they also risk having fewer and fewer encounters with the real world, which may be worse.
The Metaverse has the potential to be a platform and environment for co-creation and collaboration between content creators and businesses, which will undoubtedly speed up the development of technology and enable an increasing number of fields of knowledge to come together to develop ideas. This is important from a technology and marketing perspective.

this is NOT a mean vague i just did not want to lightly trauma dump on u (if u see this) and op FJKDHGKD
but one of my mutuals rbed that 'pretend you 11 and this a youtube search bar' post and mentioned habbo music videos. and the way i completely blocked out the fact that habbo hotel ever existed bc its what landed my dad in jail for soliciting a minor (who was only 2 years older than me.) over it. and he fr just. had pictures of this girl on his computer apparently (i never saw it. obviously. i was like 9). like i remember the police being in our house. and talking to me. like HUH. SO YOU GUYS DONT HAVE TRAUMATIC MEMORIES W THE SAME SHIT I DO. DONT KNOW WHY THIS IS A SURPRISE TO ME BUT IT REALLY. REALLY IS.
#on top of my appearance i 100% believe this is why i could never make friends#i cant say i blame my peers' parents but like. im not my fathers actions. you can socialise with me. you can be my friend.#obviously i mean this After he was not in the house#whatever! gently moving around old trauma at 6:43am ^_^

BASICS:
Name: olive Age: 23 Pronouns: she / her Sexuality: raging bi Zodiac sign: capricorn Taken or single: taken
FOUR THINGS ABOUT THIS BLOG:
–– i started this entire blog out of nothing but pure spite towards canon and what S13 did to my boy here. i love the show, always will, but i'm still very bitter. –– i'll give you 500 bucks right now if you can guess my OTP for lucifer with one try, bc the ship is basically non-existent within the fandom. (and nop the offer doesn't stand if you already know it lookin' at you daed and alex) –– a gigantic pet peeve of mine is ppl who trash-talk villain muses and say that writing certain muses means you agree with their actions & 'ur gross if u write x'. get out of my face. i'm gonna stan just as many murderous problem-boys as i want, thanks. not really a fact about this blog, but still related. –– i'm not sure where i'd place my interpretation of lucifer as of now. he's heavily headcanon-based, but i still love all the spn angel lore and S5 luci so i could never detach him from the canon.
THREE MUN FACTS:
–– i'm a very shy and anxious person and 99% of the time feel like i’m bothering others when i talk to them. –– if we ship together and we're close, i will immediately fall down the rabbithole and be the ultimate trash and never stop talking to you about it. –– i love you !
EXPERIENCE:
How’d you start: back in the day i started writing death note rp's with a former friend. our friendship didn't work out, but those years mark a very important phase of my life since i'd never been interested in writing before. Platforms you’ve used: UHH, habbo hotel (dont @ me), msn messenger, e-mails, deviantart, skype, kik, discord, tumblr Best experience: all the wonderful friends i've made and how much writing has helped me improve my english over the years. Worst experience: drama, bullies and people who play moral police and think ppl can't write about not-morally-pure topics.
MUSE PREFERENCES:
Original or canon: CANON i don’t trust my oc’s but i love writing with other ppl’s oc’s !! Favourite face: everyone i've written and write with. i can't choose faves. love my boys misha & freddie though so they get special mentions. Least favorite face: none ! Multi or single: single ! i’m way too unorganized for a mumu all the kudos to them.
WRITING PREFERENCES:
Plots or memes: i personally prefer memes since i have v bad imagination with cool detailed plots. Best time to write: whenever i'm not deadly tired. Do you like your muse(s): i love this trash boy a lot but he also makes me wanna punch him in the face most of the time so it's complicated. How long (months/years?): 11-ish years. been on tumblr for about 5 years across a few different fandoms before nesting here. Fluff, angst or smut: angst smut bc i'm a gremlin.
