Sim Sickness

from the going-to-be-sick dept

Does playing a video game make you feel ill? You're not alone, apparently. I've known a few people who have claimed they felt sick after playing a video game, but I never realized it was a big problem. There are even people who are studying this.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    After tons of experience I figured out the cure to the common cold. It's very simple actually. Open windows and let your house ventilate and you'll start to get better in like an hour. Then, unless you have a very good reason to keep windows closed (ie: a bad fire outside or toxic air outside for some reason) always keep at least one window slightly open with no obstructions in the way of its ability to ventilate the entire house almost at all times (except for when no one is home, then it's OK to close all your windows to lock them). Even if it's cold, wear warm clothes if you have to or turn on the heater. and air filters aren't good enough, you need constant gas exchange between the air in your house and the air outside your house. Try it, it really works. I suspect many many health problems and a lot of bad health in general is caused simply by poor ventilation.
