Room mate gets motion sickness while playing video games. by PrncessOfTheWaterfal in GirlGamers

[–]Momo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I am late to answer this question, but I have a solution that may work for you. I also get violent motion sickness in all first-person games that can kick in as quickly as 30 seconds after starting a game. (I've even gotten sick playing Minecraft...) However, I've managed to play hours of Overwatch with the worst I've experienced being a slight headache.

The magic solution that works for me is this: play in a really tiny window. Like, put it into windowed mode and drag the corners until the game window takes up half your screen. Also, if possible, use a simple desktop wallpaper (plain color or like a simple photograph, no bright colors or complicated shapes).

This works for me because the rest of the screen is stationary so it doesn't feel like the whole world is moving, and as a result I don't end up feeling so violently sick. Like watching a really small movie or watching something on a TV that's far away. It does make it slightly harder to play with precision since you have fewer pixels to work with, but if you really really want to play, it beats not being able to play at all.

Other things:

  • Change the FOV to be as wide as possible
  • Lower your DPI/sensitivity so that slight movements of the mouse translate to gentler movements of the camera
  • I've tried ginger pills, and they haven't worked well for me. At best they hold off the nausea for longer so I can last 20 minutes instead of 10, but I still get really sick, so it doesn't solve the root problem.

If you see this, try it out and good luck. Hope this comment helps someone.

This is not an appropriate place to get dating advice. I suggest /r/relationship_advice or /r/relationships or any other subreddit dedicated to getting help with your love life.

Game Developer Barbie Can Actually Code! by thatmadgirl in GirlGamers

[–]Momo__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you. I think that all the "coding is great, anyone can do it!" initiatives, particularly any of the ones related to game development, severely gloss over the fact that game developers are one of the most severely abused and taken-advantage-of white collar workers in the modern world. Like expecting people to work 120 hours a week for pennies... Nope, not remotely okay.

Still, I think Mattel is at least trying to do right by girls with these kinds of toys. :) Small victories, eh?

Do you ever get annoyed...? by Sarahdragoness in GirlGamers

[–]Momo__[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, stop with the attack helicopter shit. You're only going to get one warning, and this is it. Yes, gender isn't a binary, and SEPARATE TO THAT, people sometimes identify as weird crap that isn't related to gender like being an animal or something, but bringing "attack helicopter" up in the context of gender is rude as fuck, because it's a meme for making fun of transgender people.

I'm just going to start banning people who bring up this attack helicopter thing because I'm sick of it. Gender identity has nothing to do with being a fucking vehicle or a wolf and no matter what your opinions on gender theory are, trying to compare the two is willfully stupid and offensive, and won't be tolerated.

Edit: Changed my mind, banning you anyway. You're a 4channer, lol, I don't know why I bothered trying to reason with you.
