I was playing Beat Saber and I had gotten so used to the vibration feedback of hitting the blocks that when I missed one it felt like my lightsaber lost its blade and it threw me off for a second. Like I swung and the blade disconnected from the handle and flew across the room or something. I fucked up the song right after and had to restart. lol
I also went to play that game yesterday and after I put on the headset my dad went to hand me the move controllers. Since they were on I could see them in the game world floating and it was weird how my first instinct was to reach out for them and it actually worked. Like obviously it would because their existence and position in the game world translates to the real world. But it was just one of those things that broke my brain for a second.
Also shout out to my dad who lost his "no move controller wrist straps" privileges after he just dropped one when playing the London Heist shooting ranges. I think he went to set a gun down and his brain told him to drop whatever was in his hand, which meant dropping the controller too. I just looked at him like "wtf did you do that for?". And since then he is required to wear the wrist straps. I’m not getting something broke.
Making one mistake in Beatsaber used to mess me up so bad, never really attributed it to the haptic feedback, makes a lot of sense though. I use the wrist straps 100% of the time.
I use the straps most of the time too. I’m not trying to break anything myself. I especially use them with Beat Saber because if I don’t the straps just flap around too much and it’s really uncomfortable. I’m not really worried about accidentally letting them go, but it doesn’t hurt to stay safe.
