    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.
