>Sooo looking forward to being able to live fully in a virtual world. Virtual cash, virtual socially distanced "relationships" and friends, a virtual body so I don't have to work out
A surprising aspect of VR is that this is actually the complete opposite, just how much your real body actually matters. VR is exhausting. 10 minutes of Thrill of the Fight and I'm physically incapable of continuing. An hour of Rec Room or Echo VR and I have to stop from the sweat buildup. Even hanging out and just talking VR Chat is so more physical (standing, actively interacting with both arms, potentially full body tracking) than sitting at a desk during the day job, more comparable to something like being at a conference where at the the end of day you really feel it, all the standing around and slow walking, since in total it was more than an average day.
