I went on a a VR rollercoaster with my new girlfriend (asian) at a amusement park where they move the cart according to the movement in VR.

She was totally OK, and I was totally wet of sweat, down to my underwear. I really almost puked.

But I have that problem even on a bus and in a car as a passenger (so I basically always drive if possible). Big ships, trains and airplanes are totally ok.

When I was about 9 I had to puke on the bus and my dad didn't want to have to clean the buss so he let me puke into the pocket of his jacket 🤪
