Situated between a crematorium and an adult bookstore, it wasn\u2019t quite the ritzy hotel for which its name might have led it to be mistaken. But the people who attended, including Rudy Giuliani, appeared to be making the best of it. It was here where Giuliani was informed that the race had been called in Biden\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<p>An odd interlude from a peculiar election in an unusual year, right? Well buckle up, it\u2019s about to get stranger.<\/p>\n<p>Some clever person has painstakingly recreated the infamous shop in the multiplayer virtual reality platform VRChat. And within a short time, a bunch of furry avatars were running around this, a pivotal site in the election. A clip of the gathering was captured by VR YouTuber CooperTom, who created the map.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.4459459459459\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Did a small update to Four Seasons.
