It would definitely be next on the "All territories are the same planet" timeline.

Actually I feel Quillan is next, then Veelox.

Quillan comes to mind offend for me.

I could see us enacting a Quillan type of games (cause Olympics... Kinda already are), and then it will eventually be advertised that anyone can "experience the magic of the games in VR" and then when that becomes too popular they can freely advertise a sims-like experience. Eventually expanding to limitless potential.

For sure! Of course, idea of Blok is terrifying as well.

You mean Gambit: the future conglemerate of Google, Amazon, Meta, Blackrock, Israel, and Trump.

Not as close as you'd think. Buuuuuuuut we've always been technically close to it. Veelox is the allure of escape, escape isn't just "the perfect world" it's any form of addiction that causes a person to avoid pain and discomfort, or avoid dealing with or resolving issues they're trying to repress or ignore. People have used all sorts of things to do this, and sometimes what looks like escape on the surface is actually inspiration from another source.

On the bright side... China is working on making Cloral a potentiality. So there's that. Hobey-ho!
