I'm not exaggerating when I say that I laughed at that for a solid hour. It happened at the reception and I was sitting in my chair trying to contain my laughter for that entire time.
People unironically believe that Texans are a bunch of uneducated hillbillies. Like here it is, DFW has a population of over 7 million people, a job market that is absolutely exploding, tech companies are moving here en masse (and I have a professional job at one of them), and the state has the 10th largest economy in the entire world. But people still hold the belief that we're living in the 19th century wild west. I thought we were having an intellectual conversation when it turned out they were just impressed I could tie my own shoes, lmao.
That may honestly be one of the funniest things anyone has ever said to me. I still laugh about it from time to time. My dad said he learned a long time ago to lean into it, so he'll say "howdy" to people from out of state and also tell them that DFW airport has the largest stable in the world because we all ride horses to the airport. He said they believe it almost every time.

I didn’t mean it was bad, I meant it was freaky and scary. However, the devs just slapped it in for the heck of it, and home vr was still new, so there was no options to guard against motion sickness, like modern vr titles do. So, when it came to motion sickness, a lot couldn’t play it. I didn’t finish it because of this, but I played enough to tell you that shit was freaky.

Oh I didn’t mean it as asking how bad it was, rather just curious how the experience was.
But that motion sickness sounds miserable.

Yea, it is. Modern VR titles usually give several comfort options to fight motion sickness with I’m very grateful, I thought I’d never be able to use VR longer than 5 or 10 minutes at a time without getting horribly sick, but now it is no longer an issue for me, at all. One weird thing… VR games that have a cockpit, like for a driving or flying game, never made me sick at all. Go figure.

I feel like cockpit games are where VR is strongest, like playing War Thunder or Ace Combat.
