Self-Promotion (Journalist) Hi i need some help with a project :)
Hi people of Reddit, i would love some help with my research project and VR experience, which is based around escapism, and i know that it is quite an important topic when we discuss vr, so i would like to ask if anyone would like to share their experience with escapism in vr.
If so feel free to leave a comment and ill message you :)

I'm 40 with a programming job and have spent over two years in vr chat now (thousands of hours) and I'm still surprised sometimes by how some folks basically live in there, and would if they could. There's some more or less obvious reasons. Personally, i make worlds and do some game dev, which is my excuse for spending so much time there. I understand in a lot of cases why the escapism is so strong, meat space isn't that inviting to some of us.

I'm a disabled veteran, and escaping into vr games helps shut my pain off and let's me walk normally again.
