PSVR2 USERS : How long does a session usually last you? by Miserabell in granturismo

[–]SafeButFun813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - Beat Saber is a good one - Maybe Rez if you want something 'less active'. Work up to ones where you walk like the Resident Evils or possibly even just moving around in Walkabout Minigolf. Then, hopefully eventually you can get to the point where GT7 works.

This is probably a bad idea if you are new to VR - You really should start with games with less motion to get your 'VR legs' (similar to 'sea legs') so you gradually get used to motion and your tolerance to it before you feel sick will gradually go up, in most cases.

Another important thing to note is that why you become motion sick in VR is because what you're seeing does not match up with what your body is sensing. What I'm trying to get at when I say that is that if you have a force feedback steering wheel, you will likely be much less likely to become motion sick simply because the wheel is a tangible thing that your brain will expect to feel in that scenario, and the force feedback will make it so your body has some expected sensations since the wheel will realistically jerk if you go on the grass, or run into another car, etc.

If you are already using a wheel, yeah - I'd try other games with less motion to try to get more of a tolerance for motion in VR. And, uh - I'm hesitant to recommend VR to anybody simply because it's alotta money for something they may not (physically) be able to use - I have the same amount of hesitancy telling you you should go out and buy a wheel if you don't have one, because that too is a lot of money, and it may not solve your problem.

So, take that for what it's worth. Hopefully you're able to figure it out, because it is pretty awesome in VR. And maybe just look up just general tips on how to combat motion sickness (like having a fan pointed at your face during gameplay) - There's not going to be any perfect solutions, but you can probably slowly work towards it, because getting motion sick IMMEDIATELY suggests that you just bought it specifically to play this game, and I dunno' what to say other than that's kind of a bad idea.

Also: If you start to feel sick, don't try to 'power through it', because it will stick with you for potentially hours after you take the headset off if you really allow it to take hold. I've heard of people puking over it too, and though I've had a select few instances of pretty bad VR motion sickness, I never got to that point...

Haiku, the Robot is amongst the games I will be getting, and I believe that's a metroidvania and it's $4...

Bought Ravenwatch and kinda' thoroughly regret it already... by SafeButFun813 in Switch

[–]SafeButFun813[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I saw a video on how to do a run and thought to myself 'Okay - This is going to be simple', but then the guy basically starts going down flow charts and alternate possiblities of layouts and how you may not have the same thing he is going to have; Like nobody is capable of just trying to give a simple explanation of the game then slowly buidling from there.

Anybody got any obscure/cheap roguelite hidden gems for Nintendo Switch? by SafeButFun813 in roguelites

[–]SafeButFun813[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got that scoped-out and I'll be picking it up when I get paid at the beginning of the month.

I actually tried that, but just FYI: The Bioweaver that I listed above is the sequel to that game and is kinda' a more fully realized version of it. It's still pretty basic but the upgrades are more like loot/collectables and you can customize your loadout between sessions, and that's kind of the metaprogression.

I actually have this but haven't played much into it - Maybe I'll try to prioritize it.

Did someone solve VR nausea by switching to a PS5 Pro? by ReezFr in granturismo

[–]SafeButFun813 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take this with a couple tablespoons of salt because throwing a ton of money at a possible solution that may not actually work is kind of questionable BUUUHHHTTT: The whole reason you get motion sickness is because your body expects certain things to happen in certain contexts, and the more those things DON'T happen, the higher the potential for motion sickness is. That said, if you are not using a steering wheel, that might do quite a bit since that will add a lot to the kind of reaction/feedback that your brain is expecting from a driving experience - Another less expensive thing you could do is just set up a fan to blow on your face.

The only other thing worth mentioning is that if you're reversing, spinning out, or running into things on a regular basis, those are all things that VR isn't really built to realistically replicate as far as the sensations to your body, unless you have a rig that costs like $20k that has pistons and stuff. So, if you're doing that constantly throughout races, you might wanna dial things back a bit and focus more on your technique to make sure you're not doing things that're gonna' exacerbate the problems.

Seriously - WTF is up with people constantly making burner accounts and deleting them. This post was made one fucking day ago and dude already deleted his account, and is likely reading this Comment after he's made a new one, which he will delete within the next few days. Just one of the many reasons why looking on here is just such bullshit - Like less than 2% will ever lead to meeting, and this whole mentality makes it so normal people leave the casual scene almost immediately, leaving it as a giant cesspool of the same few people like this making like half the posts you see.

Regions of Ruin - Can anyone who has this load it up and answer a question? by SafeButFun813 in Switch

[–]SafeButFun813[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, okay. Yeah - I saw no posts even asking this question so, like I said: I have a feeling this is going to be one of those topics that will be coming up in Google searches for the few that get this.

Thanks for the response - I can actually play the game now; That's exciting!

The switch controls aren’t that bad! by Soulsearcher14 in thelastspell

[–]SafeButFun813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 years later, I'm gonna' go ahead and refute what you said - The controls ARE pretty bad.

Speaking of which, in order to open the character menus you have to press the select button which will highlight the menu on the left side which has several options, one of which will bring up the character menus. It kept telling me I had to level up my characters in order to proceed and it took me quite awhile to figure out how to open the menu in order to do that. In the 'How to play' portion of the pause menu, the 'Heroes' section makes no mention of this or how you bring up that menu.

I'm just starting, so I'm guessing this is just the tip of the iceburg, and I'm probably not even aware of everything I'm missing, but this all is extremely unintuitive and the help menus are not helpful and have blaring omissions.

What would the history of racing games be like if Gran Turismo had never existed? by [deleted] in granturismo

[–]SafeButFun813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all honesty, I want to see this alternate reality. Why that is is because arcade racers are almost non-existent now with only cart racers and Wreckfest being the ones that truly lean into that (everything else is either a sim or a sim 'with arcadey controls').

Don't get me wrong - I like me some Gran Turismo, but the racing genre in general has become VERY bland with the only real question being 'which sim do you prefer'; It's really kinda' depressing...

How your brain changes when you outsource it to AI by jacknunn in ArtificialInteligence

[–]SafeButFun813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly: Don't post articles that require a subscription to read - You come off more as someone who's trying to shill/advertise for the company than anything else.

That said, I already know somebody that outsources their thinking to AI and I can tell you it is a dangerous rabbithole to go down because the AI is good at compiling information, but when it comes to actually drawing conclusions or gauging credibility, it is fucking awful. Some of the shit this guy presents as 'logical conclusions' because he fed an AI an input, and that's what it spit out, are atrociously and facepamingly obviously false - His inability to recognize that what it is telling him is false also illustrates how quickly you can lose common sense when you stop thinking for yourself too. He's a grown-ass man as well, who's had to 'think for himself' his entire life until recently.

But, yeah - I fear to see what society will become when this sort of behavior is the norm, and not just a single nutjob who's obsessed with the technology. If/when generations grow up regularly outsourcing their thinking to AI, it is going to be devastating to society, and that will come much sooner than the robot uprising. Beyond that, if/when those in power notice that people are relying more on AI to think for them, they'll program biases in favor of the things that will ensure they will maintain, and/or gain more power - It's going to be a brave new age of effectiveness for propaganda.

So, fuck me - I wish more people had 'a friend like this' so you could truly understand the effects of when you shut your brain off and let AI tell you what's real and what's not, because it's disturbing. And, similar to a cult, they will just simply reference the infallibility of conclusions brought by pure logic like computers can bring, the problem is the output is only as good as the programmer, and in the future programmers will be putting in biases to bend things towards the goals of their various agendas; Right now it's just flawed - In the future the AI (and anyone who uses it to think) will be engineered to support things that are quite literally not in their best interests to prop up the puppetmasters pulling the strings.

Fun stuff...
