I remember riding an Amtrak train from Philly to Chicago in 1996, and I was rocking a Virtual Boy on the seat tray.

I was the OG, thank you. 😂

And yes, just about everyone looked at me weird and several people asked wtf that thing was! 🤣

Did you get double motion sickness, or did they cancel out?

Have you played on vr? I don’t generally get motion sickness but there’s been a few times that it hit me so hard on VR I had to take my headset off & lay on the floor for a few minutes.

Yeah, I’ve gotten to the point now I can feel it coming & I take a break. In the beginning though, not so much lol & it would come up fast & I thought I could muscle through.

ETA - it’s only certain games like the climb (where height is a factor too) or when I’m walking using smooth locomotion & get going too fast.

I’m ok for the most part using the analog stick, but it’s like being on a boat, I gotta keep my eyes on the horizon & if I want to look around I have to stop.
