Just give it time, there's a lot of people hungry for EVs in that price range.

I was lucky to have a friend connect me to moderated lobbies where everyone is verified to be 21+ and etiquette is enforced by moderators.
Right now, I can meet my irl friend to go avatar shopping for a fun looking character with full body tracking (because full body feels 100x more immersive), head to a VR strip club to get drunk with strangers and watch people poledance using roomscale stripper pole setups, go play a boxing mini game against a person roleplaying in a Donald Duck avatar I met at the bar, then finish off the night of regret by watching YouTube videos in a virtual movie theater with 5 other people. You probably can't do that on whatever FB will push out.

>"We think that there are several sources for gases in the moon's atmosphere. These include high energy photons and solar wind particles knocking atoms from the lunar surface, chemical reactions between the solar wind and lunar surface material, evaporation of surface material, material released from the impacts of comets and meteoroids, and out-gassing from the moon's interior."

Also interesting, there is a thin film of electrostatically charged dust (regolith) that is visible across the moon's horizon during lunar sunrises and sunsets. The Apollo 17 crew drew a sketch to depict this phenomenon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_the_Moon#/media/...

If you are a streamer whose sole income is based on sites like twitch/youtube, getting banned could mean the end of your career and social life. Many streamers live together and collaborate with one another and sites like twitch have rules where you can't stream with banned streamers. So getting banned doesn't just mean getting banned from the site, it also means getting banned from your friend group because interactions with you could get them banned too.
With virtual avatars you could evade a ban by changing your model and also use a voice changer. I haven't personally heard of any cases where streamers use virtual characters to evade bans but I'm sure its at least happened.
It also becomes easier to become a marketing tool. Since Code Miko isn't a physical entity, she could easily be used in video ads just by sending ad agencies her model. No more flights to video shoots, all you need is a 3d animator.
"Ludonarrative dissonance is the conflict between a video game's narrative told through the story and the narrative told through the gameplay."
examples:
- Cyberpunk 2077 - Your character is dying of a virus and needs to quickly find a cure. Meanwhile youre doing a whole bunch of side quests that take a lot of in game time.
- Any RPG - Characters can be endlessly revived using items but die permanently in cut scenes.
- GTA4 - Main character is trying to leave their violent past behind them. Meanwhile you can blow people up with an rpg.

Not sure if this counts but this image of a soldier mopping in the rain comes to mind.

- Architects might find that they can save money on design by building bland looking buildings with facades that enable easy AR projection onto them.
- AR could potentially replace smartphones if they can provide a better user experience.
