Metaverse Character Creator

[@MatthiasYReich]

I‘m slightly disappointed ‚neutralise that body’ was not animated as grey incinerating the meta character with laser eyes

[@spikehammer3112]

Out of context it does make a fun double meaning. But in context it is likely to come off as "exterminate the non-binaries" rather than "haha, word play"

[@nettalie4435]

@@spikehammer3112 as an nb myself, I personally think that'd have been funny as hell. But I can see how someone wouldnt appreciate it as much.

[@Dribbleondo]

TFW The metaverse has a less in-depth character creator than something made 30 years ago. Nice animation as always, Boutet!

[@kairon156]

By the sounds of their chat, it's even less than some flash games on NewGrounds back in the day.

[@boysenbeary]

VRChat had it right, I can be who I want. I don’t wanna be myself in the metverse lol

[@addymant]

All of this is extremely relatable in a way I didn't expect from clicking on this video

[@OrigamiMarie]

I love the sock puppet. Just enough detail to understand what's going on. And all the outfits and accessories and demonstrations of what Grey wants in a character creator, are fantastic.

[@tristanarnold4706]

Loved the "I Have no Mouth" frame!

[@vidulakopli]

0:51 Your stick figure has more character than I think any avatar could adequately portray ☺️

[@brwainer]

Love how expressive this was

[@loganl3746]

"we're working a way to scan your face" dude, the XBox Kinect had that! How hard could that be in 2023?

Legless Zuckerberg slayed me! :'D Such a good Cortex Animated!

Yet another banger from Hm Boutet. I really liked the Myke using a sock puppet haha

[@SevenPilot]

I’ve missed animated shorts!

[@NouBrain]

AHAHAHA the "I have no mouth and I must scream" reference at 0:49 is hilarious

[@scanamana]

The Podcast in which cgpgrey talks about neutralising bodies. -_-

[@joecab1]

Ha! Loved the pH reference

[@landsil_]

Loads of games that should know better (have money to implement/research) still get it wrong. I was positively surprised by Cyberpunk, if I recall correctly body type, gender, voice, genitalia and breasts presence are all full mix and mach. And then general "look" like hair and such is fully abstracted from previous choices again.

Zuck subtly saying his metaverse is a boy's club

[@DoctorTardis100]

Just use VR Chat... private worlds do exist, and has volumes of player models for use...

[@aldproductions2301]

Grey is relatable here.

[@TheOneHistoryGuy]

I'm kind of surprised that Grey and Myke are getting into the Metaverse or, at least, the idea of VR supported meeting rooms. That feels like such a waste of time and effort to me, especially after watching Dan Oslen's video 'The Future is a Dead Mall' where the true faults of the Metaverse are laid bare. I mean, VR Supported meeting rooms aren't a terrible idea on their own. Maybe there's a market or angle to them, some way that make the whole concept worthwhile for a company, but...I don't know. I suspect that if someone else does VR supported meeting rooms that are at least 10% better, then Grey and Myke will be happy to switch over.

Still can't believe they like metaverse

[@MEHEHEHEME]

Gray always seemed a little insane

[@Daktyl198]

They like the concept of VR meeting spaces. If somebody came around and made a way better business focused VR meeting space they would hop over in a heartbeat.

[@volodyadykun6490]

@@Daktyl198 honestly I don't know how to feel even about the concept, just why, but yeah maybe at least better tech would give something more

[@BenisDD]

They enjoy apple. Of course they are out of their minds.

[@sologun5245]

That one frame of IHNMAIMS 😭

[@SanjayMerchant]

Are these those weird little Facebook avatar things or are Metaverse avatars a different thing. Because I've always found the former weirdly unsettling, on top of never looking like the person they're meant to be.

[@talongreenlee7704]

Why is this such a problem? Nintendo made Mii’s years ago.

[@shashanksam]

lol imagine a future where it's mandatory to have an avatar scanned
