One of the most bizarre things to this day for me (that perfectly sums up the 'metaverse') is still the footage of the VR presentation in the ruins of Puerto Rico, which to me seemed like something that people would come up with who would want to make a low-budget dystopian sci-fi film. Yet FB put this out voluntarily

It's also a really weird definition of VR. I thought the idea was to make things look immersive -- as if you were really walking through an environment. This just looked like some video footage of Puerto Rico behind some cartoon characters (which it was, I assume).

What in the world was going on? First, there looked like there was an explosion around the tent scene, where one person blew up. Then the final cartoon strip on the closing section, was completely incomprehensible. I saw something. But definitely not what I want to see, or expected to see. Too crude to even describe. What, was the purpose of that clip? Who made it? Edited it? Approved it. Confusion reigns!

It is fake, the drone video was added in, I think. The original disaster zone VR tour was real though.

I like the Starcraft Zerg music playing in the background.
