The Metaverse is a sexless, joyless world, much like Mark Zuckerberg himself. Sure, there's happy fun time, similar to the forced fun of office birthday parties if you're into that.

Office birthday parties are the perfect analogy for the hollow, “happy” facade that Meta has presented thus far.

Reminds of The Music Dance Experience from the show Severance.

Doesn't that describe the whole of the internet?

zuck has thrown some lengendary parties in the bay area

have you seen the Facebook metaverse? it does not have legendary parties

I assure you, the parties that tech dad workaholics are throwing in the peninsula are far more gauche than "legendary" compared to the Project X like shenanigans across the city, town, and east bay. There's a reason the intro to the Silicon Valley series is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyYI957ge4c

For literally legendary Bay Area parties, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_Tests

well not ken kesey legendary and yes it's probably been a decade since the crazy times, his first kid was born in 2015 or so.

I've worked in the tech industry in the Bay Area my whole life and never heard this, so not exactly legendary. Maybe they're orgies that people keep hush hush.

they are orgy adjacent for sure.

So he has some wild in him. Good. If he wants Metaverse to succeed he needs to loosen up and let it happen there and not be such a prude. He's got rock and roll in the Metaverse but no sex or drugs. Perhaps he needs to do an adult Metaverse.

So, Second Life?
