I've never had any trouble playing Doom, even modernized gzdoom-style things, but MAN I cannot watch people play doom.
I get motion sick within 5 minutes.
It's weird! I've only gotten motion sick from playing games like... Twice? In my entire history of playing games?
But watching Doom? Nope. Too dizzy. It's weird.

I think it's doom's specific play where you're moving quite fast but on relatively flat levels

It's weird just because YEAH it's a kind of game where I can totally imagine people who are prone to video game motion sickness getting sick. It's got quite fast moment and the perspective is a little odd because of limitations of the not-quite-raycasting it does.

But the strange part is that:
1. I am not usually prone to motion sickness from games! The last time I remember getting motion sick was when I played a Half Life 2: Episode 2 on a big monitor while being very tired. I made it like three hours into the game and got a little dizzy.
2. It's only when watching! I can play doom myself without any issues. I'm a retrotech enthusiast! I have played a LOT of Doom. Never an issue. Even when I was kid not yet used to first person shooters.

I'VE PLAYED MORE DOOM JUST ON DEVICES THAT WERE NEVER MEANT TO PLAY DOOM THAN MOST PEOPLE HAVE PLAYED DOOM ON CONSOLES AND PCS

I beat the whole first level on a keyboard once. No monitor, just the keyboard.
I played through most of the shareware episode on a (woodworking, not networking) router once.

@troldann Nah, just the input and output. The game itself was executed on the desktop.
I have been planning a new keyboard (for non-Doom reason!) that'll be able to play Doom entirely within itself, though.

@foone Was the keyboard also the execution unit? Because with you and Doom, the possibility that you literally played Doom ON a keyboard can never be taken for granted.

@nyrath I wish that was true. I have sadly failed many times... but I keep trying!

That is your superhero superpower: can make Doom run in any electronic device you touch.
