I just realized I'm allergic to VR.

@Rasp
What do you mean?

@alyx intense nausea and shaking.

@Rasp
Isn't that just motion sickness? Kinda sucks though.

@alyx isn't that basically a VR allergy? I suppose it also happen in non-VR first person games with me sometimes too. I cant watch fast first person lets plays without feeling like I need to lie down and I usally turn the FoV up on first person games to stop me from having issues.

Why all first person games should have an FoV slider. its an accessibility feature and further highlights why most console FPS are TRASH

@alyx Not having control makes it SO much worse.

@Rasp
Every PC gamer would agree on the FoV slider part.

As for VR allergy, I'm not a medic, so I can't say I know the definition of an allergy, but I'm not sure if it fits. An allergy usually occurs because of a substance that comes into contact with the body in some way, and the immune system has a bad reaction.
VR isn't a substance in itself, and I don't think the reactions you're experiencing are related to the immune system in any way.
