Created myself a second life account in early pandemic to check out if we can do a burning man meetup thing in there. They have been doing it for many years already. But I could not get deep enough into it to enjoy anything. Felt like when the boys in my high school were skipping class to go to the gaming store, to play RuneScape on their computers. Clearly I’m not sinking in enough time to find the appeal. Nor do I want to.

Was also watching « how to with John Wilson » and he interviewed a full time real estate mogul in Second Life. Making a living, and paying real virtual « realtors » a salary to stand in the spawn point and show people around houses. This shit is wild… I’m more amazed by this than the fact there is a specialty sports whistle store for referees in nyc.
