    That’s why I basically dropped VR, and even when playing, I only played beat saber. Alyx was a very bad experience for me (mind blowing game, but not if I’m sick after 15 mins) and with that, every other game with movements (no mans sky ship is very bad)

      I got super sick the first few times I played. I could only manage 20 mins at most and I would be in bed for the rest of the day due to terrible headache which goes away the next morning.

      After a couple of times of experiencing that, I could play for 1-2 hours and without a hint of headache. I understand how everyone is different but I’m kinda amazed how the body works sometimes.

      Which headset did you use? I had the same experience with my old Rift. Got a used Quest 2 recently and all my problems just vanished. I can even do smooth locomotion now which was impossible before.

      Might be worth checking out some newer tech in case your HMD was first gen
