Unfiltered chaos from the virtual frontier.
Welcome to Meta Realities, your no-nonsense guide to the immersive digital multiverse, from the pixelated streets of Second Life to the neon-lit corners of emerging virtual platforms. Whether you’re here for the fashion, the drama, the economics, or the existential crises brought on by avatar identity debates, you’ve found your people.
What started as Slex and the City, a sharp, savvy deep dive into the culture and commerce of Second Life, has evolved into something bolder. This isn’t just a blog. It’s a manifesto for digital dwellers, creative rebels, and anyone who knows that what happens online matters in real life
So, what do we do here?
We decode virtual economies, question shady business practices, spotlight incredible creators, and call out the copy-paste crowd. We believe virtual worlds should be fun, fair, and a little fabulous. From shopping guides to scandal exposés, platform comparisons to tech tantrums, Meta Realities doesn’t hold back.
You’ll find essays, interviews, behind-the-scenes commentary, and an occasional rant (or three) on topics like:
-
Avatars and identity: how we build and brand ourselves online
-
Marketplace madness: from pricing scandals to creator rights
-
Platform wars and policy shifts, from SL to INZOi, IMVU, VRChat, OnceHuman and beyond
-
The emotional side of virtual life: friendships, grief, nostalgia, and joy
-
Creator culture: the good, the shady, and the revolutionaries
In a time where virtual worlds are no longer niche but central to how we connect, create, and even grieve, Meta Realities exists to ask the questions most platforms won’t. What does it mean to live a digital life? How do we protect creativity when everything can be copied? Why does an avatar’s outfit sometimes feel more important than a real one? These are more than geeky curiosities, they’re reflections of a culture that’s evolving fast, and we’re documenting it one glitch, scandal, and breakthrough at a time.
At the heart of it all is a fierce love for creators, the ones pushing boundaries, building worlds, and doing it without a safety net. Meta Realities stands up for the artists, builders, scripters, animators, and thinkers shaping these spaces, often with little recognition and even less protection. We shine a light on the brilliance, but we’re not afraid to call out the bullshit, exploitative contracts, paywalls disguised as features, or platforms that take more than they give.
If you’ve ever felt invisible behind your avatar, this space is for you.

🎥 YouTube – Meta Realities
This is where the magic (and mild chaos) happens weekly. Expect deep dives, hot takes, interviews, music videos, platform comparisons, exposés, and more. If it stirs the metaverse pot, I’m probably making a video about it.

Available on Spotify, YouTube, and wherever virtual souls tune in. From yacht chats on the Blake Sea to roundtable debates with platform veterans, the Meta Realities podcast brings a little boat-rocking honesty to the virtual world scene. Featuring guests, gossip, and good arguments.
✍️ Substack – @metarealities
When the algorithm wants short-form fluff, I write long-form fire. My Substack is where I break down the deeper stuff, platform politics, digital grief, creative burnout, and the future of virtual spaces. Unfiltered, heartfelt, and probably written while eating marshmallows.
Who’s behind this?
I’m Prisqua (but just call me Pris). I’m a journalist, screenwriter, designer, gamer, and lifelong digital explorer. I’ve got a French soul, Aussie sarcasm, and a very real passion for the virtual. I call out nonsense, ask the questions others won’t, and believe creators deserve more than a like button and a tip jar.
Why should you care?
Because the metaverse isn’t coming … it’s here. Whether you’re a veteran grid-hopper or just figuring out how to wear shoes in your first virtual world, Meta Realities is here to help you navigate the chaos with clarity, context, and a little style.
This space is for thinkers, creators, critics, and curious minds. It’s for those who understand that even if our worlds are made of code, the stories we tell inside them are very real.
