Headachegamers

Ever feel dizzy, like you’re getting motion sickness when playing 3D games? Maybe you’re super hyped to play PUBG with your friends, but as soon as you start looting in a house, you’re dizzy and frustrated. You uninstall the game after one round, missing out on all the fun with your friends. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. You should be worried. We’ve all been there – our vestibular systems just aren’t as strong as others’. While some people are crushing 3D games, we’re often stuck in 2D ones. I call myself a “headache gamer.” Ever since I was a kid, I’ve dealt with motion sickness in games. I tried everything to fix it – read countless websites during middle school – and some solutions work, some don’t. But how do you know which one will work for you? Here’s what I’ve learned: Everyone’s motion sickness tolerance is different. Some people can handle games like CS and even Souls-like games (as long as it’s not an open-world scene) – I call this “Light Motion Sickness” (LMS). Others can only manage racing games, and even CSis too much for them – this is “Moderate Motion Sickness” (MMS). And then there are the folks who can’t handle even racing games and stick strictly to 2D titles – I call this “Severe Motion Sickness” (SMS). Finally, there’s a rare group that pushed through childhood dizziness and somehow outgrew it. But, honestly, I wouldn’t recommend that path – games are fun, but no game is worth risking your health over. Take a minute and figure out which category you fit into. Why does it matter? If you’re in the LMS group, there are plenty of ways to adjust settings or try physical remedies to ease your symptoms. You can still enjoy most 3D games with a few tweaks. If you fall into the MMS category, you’ve probably already been searching for solutions. I’d suggest diving into some 2D games, or trying a few 3D titles that might be easier on you. And if you’re in the SMS group, I’ll help you embrace 2D games and show you why they’re actually amazing – not just second-tier options. In this video, we’re focusing on helping LMS gamers manage their symptoms. MMS and SMS players, I’ve got more tips coming your way in future videos. Let’s get started! Lucky for you, LMS is the mildest form of motion sickness. But here’s what you should avoid: Portal, Portal 2, Dying Light, and Half-Life. Legendary games, but absolute motion sickness nightmares. Don’t even think about it. Games like Life is Strange, The Forest, Human Fall Flat, and Minecraft? Also a no-go. Even shrinking the screen usually won’t help. If you can watch gameplay on your phone without getting dizzy, you’ve found your next challenge. Here are some simple fixes to start with. 1. Settings to avoid motion sickness 1)Motion Blur and Depth of Field These are the worst offenders. They’re meant to make things more immersive by mimicking how your eyes work in real life.
