Ya'll wanna play POE1?

I haven't touched that one in years. I'd take you up on it except a new Destin y DLC dropped this week.

Fun fact though: I haven't touched the game since April 28. I haven't touched any FPS since April 28. Y'all have any idea how sick I got my first few times playing D2? I've had to recalibrate my brain to play an FPS. Y'all laugh, but some of you know that is a real thing.

Oh, RIP to the outside world.

I know that feeling. I can't play 3rd person shooters or I'll get hella motion sick. PUBG??? I'll throw the fuck up. When I was playing COD and took any sort of break say, 3 weeks, it would take me a couple of hours to get the eyes right. That wasn't as bad, but I did get a headache. The FPS motion sickness is real.

I play until the nausea starts and then I'll do something else until the nausea passes. Wash, rinse, repeat until my brain adjusts. I had the same thing happen to a lesser extent when I went from a 24" flat monitor to a 35" curved and I was playing every day. My guess is how we process our peripheral vision is the cause, at least with the larger monitor.

It doesn't help that the new D2 expansion uses this spark ball thing to move around portions of the map. You're moving faster than you normally would but are in confined spaces so you have some crazy motion graphics going on plus this roller coaster type movement. I'll keep swapping game and life activities until I adjust.
 
So...poe2?

Tried poe1...can't do it.

My biggest complaint about POE2, unless the game has changed, is leveling SUCKS. It might be the longest slog to level up of any game I’ve played. It’s been 4 months since I played it, so maybe it was improved?
