I spent a week in VRchat, here's who I met

on october 19th 2020 i began my week-long stay in vrchat [Music] vr chat is a game where you can do about anything i can't believe they got the real windows night look inside of them look inside of them look inside of them with over 25 000 community created worlds for you to explore i think it makes it the perfect candidate for a 168-hour session over the course of the next seven days i attempt to spend every waking moment in vr chat oh oh i spilled my coffee the only times i plan on taking the headset off are to switch into an oculus quest for showering preparing food full dive virtual reality is something that all of us are looking forward to and this particular experiment is meant to test if a purely virtual social experience is enough to facilitate the human need for socialization so here we go i'll be here for a week let's see what happens hello what do i expect to learn doing this just uh the wonders of socializing on the internet the first world that i visited set a precedent for what's to come during my stay here i uh i don't know it's one of those days where i just go around talk to people it could get pretty toxic so i want to be that type of person that shows there's a bit of light that's good yeah it's chill but this game you're very chaotic i was a bit nervous at the beginning to start actively socializing with strangers on the internet [Music] i actually found it much easier to approach or converse with people inside the archer than in reality this is like a way of getting yourself like say just a neurolink like you know how they say nearly it's gonna happen it's going if that does happen what's gonna happen then are we gonna have like jobs in vr people are gonna be like oh i want a human person to serve me in via like if you go to a restaurant or something it's it's no longer like maybe a job as soon as vr reaches that sao level of just being completely immersive and it's like a brain to computer interface i will jack myself into the matrix and never leave how much of the real world can i see ar like or the camera or i have ovr drop which is just streaming my my monitor to my headset and i also see uh my obs feed when i'm gonna go out and brush my teeth and stuff and change or shower or cook i have the the quest with a pass-through [Music] ready to do your morning exercise routine [Music] oh have you guys tried this it's on sidequest there's an app where you can practice speaking in front of a crowd and you can have your powerpoint slide and stuff and it's been so helpful for me for presentations yeah oh no don't look at me take this take this down [Music] i had made some friends i thought i could trust them but then i was woken up abruptly the the next morning you ever just take a [ __ ] good morning otis i guess can you uh can you please stop you let him sleep i spend the rest of my day cruising the metaverse playing various mini games uh who what color are you are you orange or blue [Music] oh no someone's dead i was going to say i was kind of i just called a meeting because i thought okay okay okay okay oh no oh no okay oh yeah i got caught by the spooky swimmer already spilling the soup [Music] noodle asmr how many hours in mock it's been 97 hours chris it hasn't been too too bad there's just a varying amount of things to do an endless amount of things to do so every experience is new [Music] do you think you'll actually feel like almost like a sense of melancholy or sadness like once you get out or do you think there will be a sense of relief uh i feel like it'll be a relief the like instant relief when it happens but i do feel like there's gonna be some sort of like mild depression that's gonna happen when i when i won't be able to talk to people about anything right away you know i'm active on discord don't play that card oh no no no i'm just i'm not not that i'm not talking about nothing nothing seriously like depressing but uh you know just like feelings of being alone and stuff because you know this is my first time interacting with people on here really oh welcome how long have you had your child uh i had it for a while but i was too like i had too much anxiety to actually get on it oh i feel if that makes any sense oh no that's how i feel i felt about it originally before i ever tried it like before this i i was like i don't know if i you know i could talk to like just random people like that so my love from vrchat has stepped out of from early internet so i remember newgrounds back in 2003 to 2006. i loved new browns so when when i eventually got to the polling world like everyone uh every creator i talked to that was making content for youtube they're always talking about the owl now for them getting more subs i was like where's that free wild west community artistic group and where they go and then i found vr and i found vr chat and i'm like that's where it is the easiest part has been my time in in vr chat the hardest part spend my time outside of the vr chat and my physical body it do be getting sore sometimes now i do have a question for you how is this different from the beat saber one so the no beat saber was like just for song requests over and over how is this differing um i mean i i get to hear voices so that definitely helps people [Music] so [Music] streaming right now oh uh yes sick i'm going to i'm going to that music festival going to check it out with some other people right now we're just talking about the lineup oh just music festival what's happening something's happening i don't want to turn people oh all right it's time for bed for me good night hey everybody thank you good night man thanks for hanging out hopefully i wake up night boxing yo you got one day a little bit more all right one day and a little bit more thank you [Music] i just woke up i'm not i'm not normally a morning person and this is technically my morning even though it's 2 40 in the afternoon how'd you rate the overall experience if you had to on this it's actually going a lot better than i expected the first uh couple days were a little slow it's kind of hard to get into it but overall probably a solid like nine out of ten only because of uh i've probably just been spending too much time awake and it's taking a toll on my body what have you been doing most of the time uh most of the time just kind of interacting interacting with people i've got a morning routine i get some some exercise in to get the blood flowing then i'll try and uh go go to random worlds get some new experiences look at that tail and then slowly uh it'll start to populate with uh some of the regulars and they'll kind of keep me company and then towards the end of the night you know just kind of go to like a chill place relax and talk with some people what kind of worlds have you been sleeping in mostly chill worlds um somebody wanted me to sleep in jurassic park world but i'm not sure if i would have gotten great rest there because uh world's like that your head's freaking me out right now is it glitching it's just spinning around that moment you know like when you're in sleep and then you wake up you're sort of realizing your surroundings has that been kind of trippy for you uh what has been messing with me a little bit is uh was my morning routine which is me exercising and then kind of saying my good mornings to everybody in chat and then i wake up so it's like this little cycle this little mini cycle that's not very pleasant or i have to go through exactly what i just experienced right away it's like a virtual groundhog day how has time been has it kind of blended together has it felt uh it's definitely picked up speed uh the first two days were kind of painfully slow but but these last i think three days have just kind of flew by this is how i feel after being in vr chat for seven uh for six days well cool otis you got a you got a day left i wish you best of luck you're you're killing it out there exploring cyberspace appreciate you coming on the chat man i appreciate your kind words and thank you for having me it's been a pleasure talking to you again jack how am i feeling socially ah i feel great i i was getting a little overwhelmed with socializing last night though but i guess in my defense i have been uh socializing non-stop for like seven days now almost i've been talking with i've been thinking recently that vr chat isn't really a game it's just a social platform is that something that you would agree with because for me there isn't really any objective in vr chat right the art chat isn't a game it's an extension of life i like to think of it as vr chat is wherever you want for our chat to be it's your choice what you want it to be it could be a game it can be a social platform it can be used for numerous things and like if it's if what you it to be isn't there you can make it did you at least enjoy your stay here and beyond chat with us of course it's been it's been a wonderful experience thanks everybody i'll see you in the other side [Music] i went outside it was a beautiful cloudy day out definitely uh need to get back in vr chat don't believe the hype the graphics aren't better out in the real world during the whole week i did not crave a physical contact at all the social interactions the interactions that i experienced within vr chad were enough do my eyes hurt um no things were a bit blurry at first but it's starting to come back how does my movement feel without the headset what fps is this i mean the weirdest thing to look at with my hands to see hands after a week like i definitely felt disconnected from everything for the first 48 hours of being outside of your channel an image sticks in my head i imagine someone sitting on a bench in a subway station [Music] and there's a time lapse of everybody passing them by over the course of hours this image is what i thought of initially while wondering what i was feeling people in our perceived reality would speak to me and it felt as though they were speaking through me i've also had this odd i've also had this odd sleeping schedule for a few weeks now where i'll stay up for two days straight and then sleep for seven or eight hours one theory that i have is that this is due to my brain being over stimulated in vr chat for a week straight and because it's not receiving that same level night and day kind of have less meaning now and it's taking an extended amount of time to readjust [Music] man our clever junior lives in a maze
