Dystopian bullshit

Not just dystopian, but pointless and unappealing too. Thanks, psycho!

This is by far the most delusional thing I've seen a company do in my 41 years of life on this planet. Verhoeven could have made a new robocop every year since 1987 and it still wouldn't have prepared me for how batshitterifically dystopic our world is today.

I guess I got a taste earlier this year.

Made a post in 'a Group Where We Give Terrible Advice' and Zuckbots didn't like it. Thankfully it only placed me on 'Restricted' for 30 days. I could not go live, which I don't do and I could not advertise. Which I don't do. This made me raise an eyebrow because I own a Quest 2 headset. Had I actually eaten a temporary ban the headset would have bricked until the suspension was lifted. I could see the device preventing online play but the entire thing will not work if you get banned.

I got what I paid into I guess but I do find it bizarre that VIP accounts are or at least were -completely immune from sanction-. So in theory Mark Cuban could go on a shooting rampage and livestream it and all the facebook techs could do is look on in horror because there is no 'smite' button for that lot. They can do and say whatever the fuck they want.

"We can sell 80% of the screen without inducing seizures."

Unwatchable, you win.

I tried to delete my Facebook about 10 years ago, and to do so I had to identify 20 or so faces of people in my friend's group. It was obvious even then what their intentions were, so I did the following:

1. Deleted anything with my face on it. Uploaded faceless photos of me throwing spraypaint cans into a bonfire.

2. Got every face test wrong on purpose.

3. Went on farcical, Alex Jones style rants about "Barakk Insane Obama" that were so over the top that I figured nobody in their right mind could possibly take them seriously (boy that didn't age well).

4. Changed to an auto-generated email with an auto-generated password, threw away the key.

It was fun when my aunt found my Facebook and thought that I was a raving lunatic.

Laughably awful. He has no shame at all. The AR game shown at 10:09 is ridiculous. Fake enthusiasm on his Wii/Kinect avatar's faces, which according to earlier footage is facial recognition.

Oh yeah, that part. 8:24 where some woman's overacting is creepily grafted onto a bland computer model boy in brown lipstick. Yikes.

Had to dock one star because Conner O'Malley did it better in Leather Metropolis.

"Privacy and safety."
Ha.

"You can bring whatever piece of media you want in here and the RIAA totally won't rape your grandmother."
Haha.

"Go to work in here. Pull up your shared private documents."
Oh God. Hahaha.

"Nobody wants their social media profile linked to all these other experiences!"
Hahahaha.

"We don't want to lose TOO much money on this program, now."
Hahahahahah.

"'Bringing people together' while finding even more ways for you to never leave your house or have actual physical contact with a real human being."
Ha. Okay. That was fun.

"Your every waking emotion expressed by your avatar."
Alright. You can stop now.

"Don't take your headset off while you do normal things like write with fake pens."
I mean it. Stop.

"All ruled over by me, Mark Zuckerberg."
STOP IT.

The fact that he comes out swinging with his collective mental illness-worsening dystopiaverse mere WEEKS after shutting down the power grid in the wake of some pesky whistleblowers. There's something very creepy about this, guys. Like it's crossed from everyday villainy to cartoonish supervillainy, and we are letting it happen.

this doesn't strike me as dystopian, because there is absolutely no chance of it being even a little bit successful.

this isn't so much a mastermind villain trying to take over the world. It's more like a bunch of idiot executives spectacularly, laughably, failing to justify spending $2 billion on Oculus.
