Both official studies, including work by danah boyd, and a significant number of anecdotal reports have shown that women are more likely than men to experience nausea when playing VR games.
I find this interesting as well. I often get nauseous from playing Call of duty for over an hour or so.
how games more generally can convince players to accept themselves as unquestioning agents of violence, and often racialized or gender-based violence.
I think this is an interesting concept and I think it can be related to other topics as well such as music or movies, etc. I think people often listen to music or watch movies that perhaps involve racism, violence, etc. without even thinking twice about it and whether they agree with it or not because it has a "good beat".
There is no single definitive way of enjoying a game or of talking about what constitutes ‘fun.’
I would agree with this. I am not good at a variety of video games such as first person shooter games or Super Mario Brothers. However, I still enjoy playing the games. In super Mario Brothers, after your character dies you can still push buttons on the remote to make different sound effects. This is usually what I find myself doing whilst the rest of my friends are still collecting coins and racing the clock.
universal way to feel good while playing games
This makes me think of how I tend to play solitaire. I typically don't play solitaire trying to beat the clock or against someone else, but instead I play it at my own pace. To me this is fun rather than the typical, more competitive way.
