This is going to be a rather short post. But before you feel I said “game”, means VRChat. No, not this time. This is a game in the game.
A typical day of Best Boi Studios, people talking about VR and other random things, coming and going.
Decided to go visit the guy who installed the dragon bunny avatar to my account, who was playing ‘Never Have I Ever’. I’ve stayed clear of this game for a pretty long time, mainly due to if it’s my turn to move the game around.
The game has to do with someone saying “Never have I ever (did this thing)”. If you didn’t do it, you don’t advance, and if you did, you do. The first one to get all the way to the end, wins (and the game resets). It’s quite simple.
However….. there are people that take this innocent game, into the dark side of the Internet, saying things like “Never have I ever *questioning your sex lifestyle here*” -or- “Never have I ever *drug-related thing here*”. It makes you feel you’re going to sell your soul to the devil if you go forward.. and I don’t like that.
But on a side-note, as I was playing, someone was commenting to the guy about my dragon bunny (and questioning why it looks unfinished). He said how there’s an issue where “the head disappears” when looking in a mirror. I added on, asking “what about the scales on the back”. And he said it affects all attachments, then adds “don’t worry, we’ll get it”.
That’s fantastic. Glad they’re working on it.
I had some fun at the start, but then the guy had to go (and I was at the mercy of random people). Most of the time, I was two (or more) lines away from the rest of the crowd. And the person giving the embarrassing phrases, comes up to me and is like “hey, did you hear me?”, I say “Yes, and I didn’t do that thing”. And when the person says he’s “got me” and does the next phrase, I’m still not moving (as I’m telling the truth).
I’ve been questioned about my age, and “never living”. Yes, of course. But please excuse me for not having a sinful childhood. 😛
And these were starting to feel like personal attacks against me (yet I hoped I could still ‘play’ (by not moving). And then when I got the directed at me phrase “Never have I ever owned a house”, again I just stood there. But I left as people were absolutely shocked at me.
If they had just reversed it (where if you didn’t, you advance), then I probably would had won.
That was enough for me. Whoever said to never play that game (due to how toxic it can get), wasn’t kidding. So for now on, if I choose to play, it’ll be with friends only in a private server (instead of with random people).
