It is a (mini)game where you serve ice cream to customers (of both genders). You may also choose to fling the ice cream at the customer with an exaggeratedly comical impact, similar to when Daffy Duck strikes Elmer Fudd with a giant hammer and humorously turns him into a pancake instead of inflicting painful blunt force trauma and possibly death.

Virtue signaling doesn’t really work when nobody knows who you are. Speaking from experience.

Thanks. At least I have the context now.

The MeatSpace version is slightly safer.

I assume this is a beta version of the Oasis from Ready Player One.
