Basically where you realize your previous years have been essentially wasted. But yeah your brain actually keeps maturing until about mid-late 20s.. hence why you start to go through mental changes.

    VR is honestly more enjoyable when not trying to make a living off of it.

I stopped watching VR "news" content 2 years ago because it got too much with (for lack of better word) "junks" that most general consumers don't need. But I respect them for finding their niche in the more technical VR space.

    The increase in people that need glasses is not just caused by the usage of digital screens becoming more common. An incredibly important part of how the body maintains the health of your eyes is through dopamine. This is generally created in the retina of your eye, when sunlight hits its surface. If you have a consistent shortage of dopamine in your eyes, this can heavily affect the shape of your eyes/lenses.
    I think it's very clear that the epidemic of eyesight deterioration isn't caused by just one single thing, but rather a combination of multiple factors.

      @@eerotiainen8555 agree. As someone whose eyes are getting crappier due to me closing in on 50, using tablets/phones gives me WAY more eye strain than VR. It’s extremely rare for me to get eye pain from VR. Only time it happens is with the PSVR2, and I think much of that is due to how poorly that headset fits me. I’m looking through the lenses kinda at an angle, which can’t be great.

    your points make a lot of sense, but i'm still a big fan of vr. not the same way meta is, where we will replace our social lives with it, own nothing be happy, work in it, etc. but rather i see it more like a game console. beat saber is fun, so i will keep playing it. breachers is still fun (most of the time), so i'll keep playing it. when big games like half life alyx or metro awakening (the latter of which i still need to play) come out, i'll want to play them. point is i think that looking at vr the same way meta and other companies do isn't the right way, instead we need to look at it more as a fun console to get on from time to time, rather than replacing our life with it.

    I think with content creators, the issue I have is that it's difficult not to get sucked into Meta's ecosystem because a lot of games are only on standalone.
    I also hate when games are restricted to being only good updates in the standalone headsets instead of PCVR as well. There's so much we can do in VR, yet it's being restrained cause there is no competition.
    So, at the end of the day, maybe it's time for Valve to finally release that headset and make on hell of a change to the gaming world.

You paste a screenshot from a study and lament the detrimental effect that VR can have on eyesight yet skip the positive part, as if you were... biased?

    I agree with all of this, except that "Virtual Reality isn't Fun Anymore", it's still fun, tho the only fun stuff are the old games such as hl alyx. Also, the thing you mentioned that phones/monitors/vr make your eyesight bad, tho while its correlated looking at near stuff constantly is not the reason (or the only reason) why you become nearsighted, instead It's because people tend to spend their time indoors and looking down at their phones instead of straight/up. So you don't receive enough sunlight to make your eyes stop growing, thus they become slightly elongated shifting the focus point away from where it's supposed to be,
    "Sunlight stimulates the release of dopamine in the retina, which helps prevent the eye from becoming overly elongated. When the eye grows too long, light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it, leading to myopia." -ChatGPT (I was lazy to find a source for this, but you can fact-check me if you wish)

Just past weekend I finished Resident Evil 4 remake at 12h game time, and finished the cyberpunk 2077 Main Story line via Luke Ross Mod after 25h of great VR Gameplay now even better with DLSS4. Maybe it's the Meta bubble which is not that enjoyable ,although I liked the Sabrina Carpenter concert ^^ I dont unterstand the rant for other VR content Creators, eg Cas is a technical Expert providing massive Tips for VR usage. I already knew how the thumbnail of todays Video Look like after seeing the vid over at discord ,speaking of generative thumbnails. Good luck for future content :)

    I got myopia from excessive screen usage so I did a lot of research on it and I'd like to point out a couple things that you said.
    Your eyes actually relax when looking at something far away, so it would be the opposite of the "ocular exorcize" you mentioned
    There is increasing research that it's not actually the screens causing nearsightedness in children, but it's the lack of sunlight.
    Apparently as your head grows your eyes use light to gauge the adjustments to size needed, but if you're not getting that light it won't be able to do that properly. (it could also be using how clear the image you are seeing is, but if you only focus at one distance it ends up optimizing for that range)
    Now we're all stuck with long eyeballs!

    Damn. Some folks took some heavy strays in this video. Besides whatever that personal beef was, i agree in part. But I dunno.

Having a seperate hobby or passion on top of this one is good. Diversifying. It allows you to get through slow moments. When there are no good games coming out in VR, i dont really care, because ive not completed any of my old ones LOL. I was busy doing other stuff and going outside. Trust me, it can be done! This medium is and can still be fun... just dont VR too close to the sun

In reality, the two mediums offer two experiences that differ quite a lot and are unique in their own way. To me, VR is just another hobby like any other, and should be treated as such.

      I'm in the same boat. I'm considering changing to triple monitors but I can't really see myself enjoying sim racing as much, and it would suck to buy three monitors to never use them. Plus, the amount of real estate you save with a VR headset is great, and I'd imagine the electricity bill would be (admittedly only a little bit) less.

Also triple monitors take up a ton of space (that is why I got rid of mine).

    • @gargoyled_drake
      @gargoyled_drake 4 дня назад +1

      lots of other games have VR mods though.
      Valheim VR mod
      Titanfall 2 VR mod
      Minecraft VR mod
      Space Engineers VR mod
      And with more games having mods that make games VR. I think what we will see happen if VR is to stay as a medium. Is regular games simply release with VR mode. inspired by the modding communities making every game a VR game.
      But if there isn't any interest from modders to do it. Or consumers to use it. Then nothing will come of it. It will be seen as not interesting enough for people to chase it. There for not interesting enough for people to invest in either.
      EDIT: But i do believe AR is where this will end up becoming mainstream. Then maybe later down that road VR will evolve again.

They can both exist besides each other and still both be great in their own way. Not sure why people have a hard time seeing that.

Yes, Meta has a lot of control of the market for now. But the lifespan of consumer VR is tiny, and all it will take is Meta becoming stagnant for another company to step in and take the top spot. We've seen this when Atari had the spot, than Nintendo, than Sony, than Microsoft (360) before back to Sony and now Nintendo again.

      The VR market is not yet big enough to justify triple A investment. That's why we're all relying on indie studios and smaller budget games. Despite this, Sony has funded resident evil 8, resident evil 4 remake, horizon call of the Mountain, gran turismo 7, theres also no mans sky, and we've got a legit version of 3 triple A hitman games coming soon and resident evil 9 vr.
      What's quest got that's GENUINELY current triple A? None.
