Drats, I donāt! I think Iāll drive closer into the heart of Atlanta to find one this weekend. Thanks for the advice!

You can actually train yourself for motion sickness.
The first gamers who played dukenukem or wolfenstein on the computer used to get motion sickness too.
I trained with AirCar for a few days.
At the beginning I couldnāt even do a full barrel roll.
Tried to push myself over the limit and was out for about 8 hours feeling like 
The trick is to donāt force yourself AT ALL.
Staring to feel sick, immediately stop. And come back when you feel better.
After a few days of training I was able to play the game for about 10 hours straight with no problems.

Donāt fret my friend, you clearly have one of the sleeper agent implants, you will only be activated when a threat needs to be eliminated with your particular set of skills

I must admit the little rhyme is shamelessly stolen from the amazing J. Kenji LĆ³pez-Alt. Iām glad people are enjoying it. Much love to you as well!

Didnāt know this existed, thanks!
Wish I could run Star Citizen, but Elite Dangerous instantly sold me on VR. Hooked my PSVR headset to my PC to give it a try and started looking for a PC headset the same day. The only time I get a bit motion sick now is in Elite Dangerous, using the SRV on planet surfaces (especially low gravity), so I tend to just lift the headset and look at my monitor while driving. Everything else has been fine though!

Frame rate supposedly effects stuff also
I typically NEVER get motion sicknessā¦ if anything I enjoy the sensation when the room spins
Thereās a vr roller coaster game on oculus, that game fucks me up something bad, but mostly because it drops frames and isnāt as smooth
Vs echo arena vr, I turn on the full pitch, roll, yaw, for ultimate spatial fuckery lulz
That does take me back. Used to play this on my old 286 and suffered with motion sickness. Heretic was another I suffered with. Donāt think Iāve done any gaming since.

Lucky you.
First ever 3D game I tried was Descent (prolly unknown to most of you). I played that on my then brand new 21" monitor.
I played 10 seconds. Literally. Then it took me 2 hours to recover.
Even today, I tried a FPS not too long ago (Sauerbraten) and if the screen is large enough, I canāt play for more than 2 minutes without feeling violently sick.

Yea, idk if itās instinctive and a mechanism that helps build tolerance or masochistic
But I notice whenever Iām in a situation where motion sickness would effect others, I start moving into more, like moving my head to make the sensation even stronger and chuckling like a madman all the while

Must be masochism, surely 
Tell you what: when I moved my car from Belgium to Finland, I took the ferry from LĆ¼beck, Germany to Helsinki. Thatās like a 30 hours crossing. And sure enough, the Baltic being quite rough, I got seasick in a hurry.
Only bad luck, I also had caught food poisoning just before leaving. And so, in my cabin, for 30 hours, I couldnāt move out of bed or Iād start puking instantly. But I also really needed to move out of bed and into the bathroom every 5 minutes forā¦ obvious reasons.
Long story short, I wrote an email to Finnlines to apologize for the state I left the cabin in after I arrived.
I canāt imagine what you find pleasurable in feeling seasick

I wouldnāt say I find seasickness fun, because I donāt think I get sick
Itās like when you find you have a bruise, so you poke it investigatinglyā¦ and it hurtsā¦ but you donāt like pain and yet you keep poking it
When my brain says inputs arenāt making sense, it feels weird (just not nauseas) so I keep messing with it which is mildly amusing

Erā¦ No, Iām afraid I donāt do that 
Iām beginning to think there is something wired not quite right in the central nervous system of people who gravitate around the bodymod scene

I donāt know if I would say I really am part of the body mod scene
I have one small tattoo and thatās it
If anything Iād say this crowd is making me get more into it
I guess it wasnāt worded quite right, but I didnāt know how to explain it. What I meant was, the one thing we all have in common here is that we all punched or scalpeled stuff into our bodies. So, maybe not bodymod strictly speaking, but thatās definitely something your average joe doesnāt do voluntarily.
I have the feeling itās an enjoyable thing to do one way or another for a lot of folks here, was my point.

Not all. Iām more into the tech side of it. And squeamish. Already freaking myself out thinking about the Titan install.
Watched the pain numbing gel video yesterday. Amal got out the scalpel, and I though, heās just gonna poke himself with it, right? Then he did, so I relaxed, just before he decided to cut a little bit. I mean it was for science, right? I still cringed.
Yeah I have to agree, Iām getting 3 xSeries implants installed this weekend and Iām stressing hard.

Donāt worry about nothing, itās no worse than vaccination. Itāll be over before you can say āI wonder if this hurtsā¦ā

Yeah my xNT only hurt when it went over the bevel and ofc it was quite sore after. Iām just not a fan of needles, I take medicine over a shot any day.
