People aren't being arrested for criticizing Israel.
People who are about to be arrested start criticizing Israel.
Huge difference.

@econosopher @Steve_Aug @ballmatthew Roblox lets a developer effectively build an experience that they own and operate. Horizon Worlds does do this, but its scale is smaller. HW would be credible if it breaks through. I would argue that scale is important to relevance.

@JNavok @Steve_Aug @ballmatthew PS Home, Second Life, VR Chat, IMVU, Horizon Worlds… much closer. No reason to exclude them!
English
Doesn't matter how many times @ballmatthew said that the Metaverse is not VR, such as this 2021 quote, the journalists never listened.
Horizon Worlds is pivoting from VR into mobile. Good. It should.
Is VR the Metaverse? No. As a result is the Metaverse dead if Horizon VR is gone? No, that is like saying the internet is dead because Compuserve went offline.
I have long argued that Roblox is the best example of the Metaverse opportunity, and Roblox is a heavily mobile platform. But this doesn't let reporters sniff their own bullshit and declare it fragrant so they write the dumber headlines.

Correct. Roblox is not the metaverse the same way that Facebook is not the internet. That said Roblox displays the opportunity of the metaverse as closely as possible. In the future as UEFN grows and other platforms that are massive 3D social spaces grow we will see, just like the internet, that the economy of such platforms grow. The shifting of economics and internet time spent by young people from text and social media toward Roblox is the thesis in a nutshell. This is what I have to believe that @TimSweeneyEpic @boztank and @MBromberg believe in which is why you see, for example, the announcement last year of Unity and UEFN.

@econosopher @JNavok @ballmatthew The OP said "closest to it" I think that's a pretty honest assessment of where Roblox is at, no?

Any VR studio lucky enough to have been acquired by Meta has lived two years longer than they should have and gotten at least a hefty severance package unlike the unacquired ones that just went bust.
The VR market is dead, Lina Khan was a disaster who tried to make the case for market monopoly when the market wasn’t even existing yet, and The Verge reporters appear to be so bad at their jobs that it makes me question if they have editors.

This Verge article is nonsensical, to the point that even regular Verge commenters are saying so, and the featured image is horrendously cringe. This is what happens when journalists get so deep into an echo chamber that they completely lose touch. theverge.com/report/896820/…

@JordanKutzer How come fewer teens bought VR headsets in 2025 than 2018

@JNavok vr market isn't dead. f2p is thriving among teens. there's plenty of success in the industry.
ask any core demo user about this news and they haven't heard anything about it

@MikeIsaac I dunno man, as an executive I'm telling my kid to skip college and be an electrician or plumber. Way better ROI, unlikely to be replaced by AI. nypost.com/2018/12/23/rep…
English
this is an attractive argument for executives who are not talking to people across the country uniting to push back on some of the data center projects coming to their communities
i'd argue actually talking to people rather than sneering would be a better long term approach

I’m skeptical working class voters have any opinion on tech and tech bros. Look at Amazon having insane consumer support. The anti-tech slopulism is driven by an internecine grievance of educated elites getting economically outcompeted by their tech peers.

@JNavok Jacob, you should check out @true3dcinema if you're in NY. Building an immersive in-person VR experience.

NYC Mayor Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, has been outed for old tweets where she said she left Instagram because of “gay ass people,” called Facebook followers “fgts,” and used the N-word. The old Twitter account which posted the tweets has since been deactivated. Follow: @AFpost

America First has always demanded indicting those undermining the nation and this administration. The divisive threats and rhetoric from people who would withhold their votes and sink the nation into further peril to protect their famous criminal friends were never America First at all.
Megyn Kelly@megynkelly
You wanna rip the GOP apart right to its core and prevent a single America First voter from participating in the midterms? Indict Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson. See how that works out.

I respect differences of opinion on Iran, but blaming the “Israeli lobby” for the war echoes some of the oldest anti-semitic tropes, dating back centuries, the false idea of a hidden Jewish cabal secretly controlling our country. That has no place in our party. I will not be a bystander when I hear this racism.

@LauraLoomer @joekent16jan19 We dodged a bullet now that this psychopath is gone.
English
The fact that the now former Director of National Counterterrorism Center @joekent16jan19 holds the Nazi view rooted in zero evidence that Israel killed Charlie Kirk is alarming.
No wonder why the Islamic terror level only increased in the US under Joe Kent.
He is a conspiratorial crackpot who is blinded to the Islamic terror threat.
Loomer Unleashed@LoomerUnleashed
Joe Kent becomes a “Charlie Kirk Truther,” implying that Charlie Kirk was murdered so America could go to war with Iran. Kent went on to tell Tucker some likely fake story about how Kirk screamed to him in the West Wing: “Stop the war with Iran!”

@AlexFinn @justinryanio Since all value shifted toward Youtubers, the only people willing to work at the salary of text based tech news are agenda-driven.
English
@justinryanio how is it that every major tech media company over the last 10 years has outwardly decided to hate technology?
English
The Verge has lost its way.
Several months ago, they interviewed me for 45 minutes about Apple Vision Pro. I spent 43 minutes talking about what I love, and 2 minutes on what I’d change.
They twisted parts of those 2 minutes and cut everything positive I said.
To make it worse, the author opened the interview by saying they were biased against headsets.
I miss the old Verge. The one that was fun. The one that spotlighted tech instead of throwing shade.

@justinryanio I feel you. Nearly all the remaining outlets covering video games and tech are more about their bias than they are about news.
