CoSonauts, here’s a tiny thread on a great story within a story.
Saturday night: I jump on the invite to hang around w/frens in J’s vast VR apt. I trial ’n error my way in, am flying through all 1st fl rooms, Yay.
Awesome. I discover the wine rack, pick up a Chardonnay at perfect temp, gulp-gulp, Yay.
Next, I want to go upstairs. No success, I keep hitting the ceiling, I fall under the stairs, what a mess, my avatar’s all bruises now.

@artemis
I feel your bruises
I'm not good with WASD
I was raised being a mouse baby
Keyboard shortcuts mess me all up
Kudos to you for trying at least
I just give up
@Vikky
Don't give up. The VR place is too awesome to give up. It's just getting used to a few moves. If I can do it, anyone can do it. You'll see. It's a beautiful world out there.

@artemis
I may just sneak back into J's apartment when I know he's out, so I can trip on the stairs with out any witnesses
@artemis your escapes have got me wanting to check it out. Might have to, when I have the time! Thanks for sharing :-)
@Valkyrie_D
YES! Yes! Check it out ! It's a truly awesome experience !
@artemis How does one pick up a chablis? Am I missing out on manipulating objects? I've only ever wandered in CoSoRealms.
@BlueStateBabe Currently you can pick up a Chablis only in your mind 🤣 It works for me 🤣
^^
My tipsy attempts don’t go unnoticed and now @daniel is pulling from upstairs, @th3j35t3r is pushing from downstairs, I get advice on WASD, (wut? I never read instructions), ok, and get tips about using the f finger, lol, aha, ok, I may get it now.
Eventually, I get my keystrokes aligned and smoothly find my way upstairs, Vatican gate and all. Niiiice. All ends well & happy. (read on)
