The Fast Progress of VR

I thought I would never get nausea in VR, and I have hundreds of hours of gametime behind me with many titles and never had an issue. Usually the games remind you many times that using teleportation is much more comfortable than 'sliding' around. Some people hurl their breakfast pretty fast when trying that. The sensation is really unsettling to some for the first time.

However I did finally get sick in VR. It was a game that had your whole body animated, so you could see yourself when you looked down and your hands moved very realistically. I got in a situation where the character tumbled down to the floor and rolled over (due to a bug probably) and my brain went okay fuck this shit. The lack of feedback and then seeing my environment moving uncontrollably was too much. Had to take a few days break from playing after that.
