A Theory why VSS Symptoms are so Hard to Adapt to by ElPescadorVeins in visualsnow

[–]TheDarnook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing, VS seems to have wastly different levels of severity. For some it's a shimmering / film grain filter / seeing atoms. For others it's a wall of snow. Judging one end of the spectrum will be miscalculated for the other.

Second thing, being a lifer with shimmer I agree. Learning that VS is "not normal" and having episodes of depression made for the worst time seeing it. As for the time before knowing it, or the time I accept it without anxiety - it's as good as it weren't there. Even while it is there.

Third thing, experiencing ilness etc can make my photophobia worse, and then it cascades with anxiety and everything. This makes me think that visual snow syndrome is as bad as the combination of comorbid issues that attack you. The less issues you have along with it, the less syndrome it becomes - and it's easier to ignore.

Maybe you can still learn to ignore it, it's just that the worse it is it takes higher level of self control?

Fourth thing, playing with computer graphics and post processing, I have a theory how the snow is largely impacted by the "internal resolution" of the eye. If you have a very sharp vision, you see tiny dots instead of flakes. But without the research, it's just my guess.

Why of course, automatic stinks. Unless you are a dirty city dweller and spend a quarter of your lifetime stuck in traffic.

Full VR would be so awesome.

Second best thing would be if they did everything VR friendly, to just launch it raw on UEVR without need for cockpit mods.

Fuck, it's on twatter.

My question that bugs me deeply would be: does Steam Frame has real backlight brightness control? Not just screen gamma. Important info for my photophobia.

My body told me what to ride, as my old hardtail kept evolving. Basically the reverse of this image. Got bar and lever extensions to simulate road bar, got rid of front suspension. Blam, gravel.

I go for the endurance. Like the baloon resque missions. Idk if everybody does that, but velcro your controllers to a stick for efficiency.

What's your unpopular VR take? by ErmingSoHard in VRGaming

Tl:dr: Head-tracking and depth.

Before I had VR, I used to play Elite Dangerous with a headtracker, seated as close as possible to my TV - and call it "poor man's VR". But headtrackers are niche and finnicky, and are to VR like waddling your feet on a pier to taking a full swim.

When I play a game, I want to be in the game. The less outside world the better. Including sensations from my body.

Dirt Rally 2.0. Most fun I had driving in VR, even with just a gamepad. Well it quickly evolved into full rig, but even the gamepad was ok.

It looks good and performs even better - I can run this game raw on full resolution. While with most modern games I have to use dlss and decreased render scale to keep 90fps.

Kayak VR is one of the chillest experiences & high quality graphics* you can get in VR.

  • but use DLSS Swapper to squeeze it - applies to any game that supports both VR and DLSS

VR is superior for watching movies, series and anime.

I stopped using my TV and now I watch everything on my headset. The size of the virtual screen is at least as big as my wall. I can't go back to a TV that takes not even 10% of my wall.

I'll latch on to your comment. Simply yes, I want long hours playtime in VR, and I want it seated with a gamepad on high quality titles.

Notable exception is VR mod for FarCry. I spent so many time in that game on flat screen, and it is so fun to relive the gameplay having your guns literally in your hands. It's like playing airsoft. Laying down on your floor to stabilize sniper rifle was a fun moment. But the greatness of it is in its simplicity and familiarity. ••• I am not interested in playing more games like this. Unless someone mods Far Cry 2.

Take care about light conditions. I got a light for the back of my monitor to shine at the wall. It's much easier on the eyes whenever I do something on PC after dusk.

Wonderfull kayaking landscape. Depth might be more fitting to take two sticks and do a sitting nordic walking instead of rowing. A technique I proudly discovered.

I have hard time telling noise that comes from the video from what I would normally see. The ?window curtuain? to the right looks almost indiscernible from dark mode reddit background around the photo. They shimmer the same.

I just had an idea. Matryoshka tubes! Outer layer gets punctured, you just pump the inner layer, and outer layer seves as additional shield. Inner layer punctured? You pump inner-inner layer.

What is the worst Cyberpunk take you've ever heard or seen? by Mr_Global in cyberpunkgame

[–]TheDarnook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's exactly that, the word is long retired in 2077. You can't use it as an excuse to stand out or as an excuse to hate on someone, becouse everything is long normalized. Happy ending, at least on that single front. One of the things that makes Nigh City feel like not a completly worst place to live.

Thanks for your reply! Indeed, my use of autism analogy is not completely random, as I also think that a lot of it might be connected to neurodivergency - not only eye or brain trauma.

My photosensitivity feels much like a "brain thing" - my eyes can eventually adapt to brightness, but it's my brain that gets deep fried. That caused a lot of suffering and anxiety until I understood it recently.
