    There are definitely games that make me more suck than others. But even the “good ones” are kinda weird. Like I can’t imagine playing a vr game for an hour or so. That’s why i don’t even bother anymore

      Yeah. I can play Thrill of the Fight with no nausea after several matches. I also didn’t get sick from Vader Immortal or other games like Beat Saber or Crisis VRigade. Games where you move in-game but stay still in real life though, I feel like throwing up after a short time.

        Especially if there’s head bob. That simulates the exact difference in your senses of vision and balance that triggers seasickness.

      minecraft gives me simulation sickness. Time 30 minutes and i’m done. The interesting part here is how it started doing it suddenly; i take a pause from videogames in general and now i’m even less used to full 3d. So hey, i can’t see myself using vr.
