Lolathon agreed, starting his own Twitch channel.Īt first, Lolathon had been a mute streamer. Lolathon's close friend HeyImBee was the one to convince him to start streaming his endeavors. And, concluding from eyewitness reports, he was rather successful in doing so. He was running around various virtual worlds with a single purpose in mind: to make people laugh. Lolathon was playing VR Chat before he began streaming it. The only two things that can be said for sure are: he was born in the United Kingdom or country under the United Kingdom's influence and that he had been admiring VR streamers. Unfortunately, not much is known about the early stages of Lolathon's existence. I actually like VR and want Facebook to succeed here (hopefully incentivizing competition), and the department formerly known as Oculus is doing a great job with the requisite hardware.History and Biography Life Before VR Chat These and other problems are, IMO, all bad decisions, but they're also low effort decisions and that I do not understand. This works about as well as you'd expect. Horizons has a half-hearted attempt at this but leans mostly on the ominous promise that Facebook is recording everything you say and do, and if someone reports you an unreachable Facebook admin will review your past actions for content violations. VRChat has a fairly granular safety system, with configurable boundaries, default permissions, friend settings, etc. Second Life actually shipped with this system originally (in 2003) and later abandoned the system because of these and other problems, but learning from the past is apparently not in vogue at Facebook. It also runs worse than a well-optimized environment mesh, but apparently Facebook doesn't trust their users to figure that out. The difference is that Horizons worlds can only be made out of primitives (cube, sphere, triangle, etc.) This makes it easy to enforce performance requirements and also makes the entire metaverse look like a poorly developed PS2 game. This means they don't have to moderate avatars or worry about performance, and also crushes the boundless possibilities of self-expression into a sea of identical corporate art style drones. Horizon has very limited Mii-like avatars, but with even less customization. To support this, they have a robust content moderation system with a fair amount of user control, and bounded performance requirements. It's positioned as the crown jewel of the Metaverse, the core from which Facebook will build the rest of the concept, and yet it's so barebones it's like no one is even working on it. I've used both and Horizon Worlds' lack of development is mind-boggling. ![]()
