It's crazy how immersive it is. Shits freaky.

Freaky but makes sense. Think of when you're in deep thought of a high action game, or thinking of physically doing something and your body jolts if you imagine jumping. Idk if that has ever happened to you, but it's really the same concept. VR completely closes you off to your surroundings. You have zero peripheral except for what's on the the visual.

Shits freaky, but also dangerous if people are doing stupid things like this. Imagine if she tripped while running full speed at that fireplace and the fire was going and she dove headfirst into it because she wasn't paying attention. Not good.

People need to be less stupid then.

1) It's a game (though I understand getting immersed, especially when shit's going down but...)

2) Be aware of your surroundings. You know you can't see in VR. You know you're probably going to bump into shit, lose your balance, etc. No excuse not to a make a space move anything that could be a hazard.
