NGL I expect this may genuinely happen to a VRChat user at some point
I feel like I’ve read stories of people freaking out falling asleep in their headsets and waking up not knowing what was going on for a little bit
All I will say is those aren’t just isolated stories. Even I’ve been guilty of thinking staying in the headset is genuinely more comfortable than waking up to reality.
not like you need VR for that lmao, if i’ve binged a game for too long i’ll wake up the next morning wondering where my inventory is for a few seconds, before remembering that reality exists
inb4 they already have species dysphoria
Man, whats the furry % of VRC users? There’s gotta be a ton of folks who identify more with their Fursona at this point.
VRC is hardly a necessary component for that
It adds I M M E R S I O N (presumably)
I’ve seen someone discover that they are trans through it. VR is pretty cool, and VRChat is an incredible platform, especially for free. The level of immersion really depends on the setup and user. Some people really feel phantom touch but I don’t at all, for example.
Definitely. I love vr experiences myself, but some of my friends do not care for it whatsoever.
I wonder if vulcans have a bit of uncanny valley when they have to see the snooty version of fantasy elves
Yeah… malfunction…
did they ever actually show of imply that the holodeck can modify you beyond putting stuff onto you? because i don’t feel like that’s part of the idea
Look, I believe you’re right, but at the same time, wouldn’t it be cooler if it could?
Why specify the number of legs? I would assume most coyotes are in fact four-legged.
As opposed to Mr Wile E.
Reminds me of the book Beyond the Veil of Stars. People travel between worlds by putting their minds into alien species, some of which are quite foreign (e.g. a rodent with multiple bodies), and folks get pretty messed up.
