So for my trip I ended up going to that Taco Bell Wedding well after it was had. Wanted to see if it was still there since you can still enter it. There wasn’t too much to seeing the wedding was over, but I figured I can still check out the sites. Meandered around quite a bit around the roads, saw an elephant. Nothing crazy outside of that.
I found a Domino’s Pizza which I legit was curious on if you can order anything from it. There were clerks just standing around and not helping, not much different from a real domino’s. So the realistic experience was good there, ha. Then I found thee Taco Bell the wedding was had. Definitely not your run of the mill TB. It looked like a setup for an awards show.
Found a room that had a dancefloor and a DJ spinning music. The DJ had a giant bell for a head. Reminded me of the Moon Man mascot from McDonalds from back in the day. Also ran into my fellow student Jeff while I was there, we danced a bit with the Taco Bell skinjobs for a bit, then went into this “selfie” room made for the wedding.
This place is something else. Overall I don’t care for this type of tech. I am sure it has a place in society but its just not for me. I guess it works for people who are naturally introverted to congregate outside the realm their usual sectors like video game chats and whatnot. Or an easy way to hang out virtually if you don’t live close to each other. But I can’t see how its practical for a lot of everyday uses. Like paying a bill, or looking up information versus going to a conventional site or platform that has less steps to make a task to complete such errands.
Also, and without getting too in the weeds. If I have exist in a capitalist state where everything I want to do is going to cost money to exist, I rather do it here in reality rather than endure yet another place to have that experience as well. I think thats prob another reason the Metaverse doesn’t appeal to me, is that its marketed toward more consuming, another place to come and consume. Rather than a place to create something outside of that. Anyways, I digress.
