Dependency Ready Player Me.webp

Image macro, based on a single-panel comic from the Web comic XKCD with a stack of dozens of grey, rectangular blocks of various sizes. The blocks generally become the smaller and the more numerous, the higher up on the stack they are. The many blocks at the top are labelled, “Hundreds of virtual worlds and VR, AR and XR applications launched during the Metaverse hype of the 2020s”. On the third level from the bottom and all the way to the right, there is one small vertical block which everything above rests on. It is implied that the whole stack would collapse if this block was removed. The block is labelled, “Ready Player Me”.
