Apparently legs, legs that move in concert with the user, are very hard to do. The engineers are working on it, supposedly, and the people I meet in the metaverse are constantly telling me how “legs are coming,” like the creatures of Narnia whispering to one another that “Aslan is on the move.”
While some people have experienced harassment in Horizon Worlds, the major problem is kids. Under-13’s aren’t supposed to use the headset, but the app is overrun with children occupying their parents’ avatars, meaning that conversations are constantly interrupted by (1) apparent adults asking you in high-pitched voices if you like poop and (2) polls to decide if the poop person should be removed.

When I play Fortnite, I often play Team Rumble just for a no pressure session. My favorite teammates are the 8-year-olds who take it really seriously. Last week, I had two little kids on my team just swearing at each other all game.
This reminds me of a memorable scene from one of my favorite movies.

Lately, though, he says he has heard from tech executives who have done layoffs and have been startled to realize the cuts didn’t have a big effect on productivity.
“They’re saying, I think I’m going to do another, because the first worked out so well,” he says. “We didn’t realize how inefficient we were.”
Basically the vibe I’ve been getting about the Big Tech cos for years on HackerNews.
I have a Facebook profile that isn’t really me because it helps with an iPhone game I play. So my “friends” are all a bunch of complete randos. Occasionally I’ll look at my feed and the amount of absolute nonsense is incredible. But this one I had to share.
