Why are VR headsets so ridiculously heavy? It’s like they want me to develop a neck muscle that can rival a bodybuilder’s just to play a stupid game. I mean, sure, immersion is great. But is it truly immersive when your head feels like it’s gonna snap off because of the brick strapped to your face? It’s like they never tested this stuff on actual human heads in the first place.
For something that’s supposed to take you into fantastical worlds, it sure throws you back into the real world pain pretty quickly. Thirty minutes—if you’re lucky. That’s all you get before it feels like some overly aggressive hug you never asked for from an aunt who doesn’t care that you can’t breathe. Why hasn’t anyone figured out how to make these things not weigh two tons? It’s 2023 and we still haven’t invented levitation. What even is technology?
And let’s talk about the “killer app” they keep promising. More like killer headache device because that’s all it is right now. It’s a marvel of technology that’s basically just a fancy way to play what amounts to glorified tech demos. Congrats, I guess? It’s not like we’re here waiting for something actually worth strapping a mini planet to our foreheads. File this under ‘solving problems no one asked for.’
I’m done.
