Weeks back i made a video where i talked about uh sleeping a week in minecraft and then a week before that i made i fell asleep in minecraft one happy accident turned into an experiment that has actually made my physical health far better than it has ever

Actually been i’m more animated i’m more excited i’m just ready to go all right i’m i’m an excited happy individual okay ladies and gentlemen and i don’t think i can express that anymore minecraft literally saved my life okay you can use that quotation anywhere you want

You know all those you know those moms and dads on the internet who tell you uh but video games rot your brain video games ruin your mind well you can tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine because video games have actually had a beneficial healthy effect on me

Now before we get into this all right let me just give you some history i’m a person with very chronic sleep problems okay like for me sleeping is actually a big challenge i know some of you all will probably watch my videos and they’re like god this indian dude’s chubby and boring

I’ma pass out i wish i could do that okay i wish i could do that but for me sleeping is a very dangerous endeavor because i suffer from very very very chronic sleep paralysis if you don’t know what sleep paralysis is sleep paralysis is basically it’s kind of like being half awake or

Half asleep uh what will happen is my eyes open i’ll get a very fuzzy view of the world but my brain will make up for whatever whatever is around my world basically i i in in the worst case scenario okay which is something that happens far more

Often than i ever want to talk or think about is many times in my sleep i’ll feel a very weird hand go across my neck and in my mind all i can think of is my neck is going to snap and i’m going to die right now

It is a very scary feeling and if you ever wondered why i don’t sleep as much sometimes in very previous videos months back weeks back it’s because i genuinely am just afraid to sleep okay and maybe covering things like squall is dead doesn’t help i mean that that’s a scary image that’s

Actually a haunted gaming video coming out by the way for those people who’ve been with me for years your ears might have perked up yeah that is that is actually a haunted gaming in the works it’s uh it’s it’ll it’ll be coming back boys let me tell you but anyways all asides that

Maybe it doesn’t help me covering that kind of stuff late at night but generally i’ve had sleep problems falling asleep in minecraft makes falling asleep just a much more easier endeavor for me okay ever since i did it in vr it’s just been a far more therapeutic experience all around

Now what has actually changed in that span so we have a couple things to cover okay this is going to be a lengthier video so let’s get started with part one which is upgrading my rig now you might have noticed this was a sponsored video and i take these sponsored videos

Whenever we have to cover things that are monetarily dependent okay like think videos like this where i have to go out and get some pretty substantial upgrades to my rig sponsors help a lot with that because we all know madame susan isn’t all about us youtubers are like the red-headed

Stepchildren of this goddamn family but basically what i did was i went out and i bought myself a full-on pc vr set now for a lot of people who saw those other videos i was actually using playstation vr i’m not dogging playstation vr but it’s incompatible with pc

Which is the platform i needed to do this whole experiment on the only way to get psvr working on pc is to use applications like trinus psvr and like a whole bunch of other third-party applications basically you have to make a weird vr program sandwich with all of its own abstractions and

Inaccuracies and latency in order to get that whole thing working short and short it’s really not that worth it psvr at the most as far as my experiences went has pretty much just allowed me to look around 30 worlds there was no positional tracking there was no controls there was

Almost nothing now you can fix that but honestly the amount of money you spend to get psvr working on pc you might as well just buy a pcvr headset now i had a couple options to go out and buy i could get a wmr which is a windows mixed reality headset

Which didn’t really work well for me i could also go and get a steam vr headset which is abnormally expensive like the index is a thousand dollars that’s not super bad when you look at how good the index is but within a four to eight week ship time it was just not happening

I was able to pick up an oculus rift s locally now i know i know you guys are like wait isn’t this the computer security guy why is he getting a facebook uh locked vr headset i know mark zuckerberg makes me make a facebook account but you know what that’s okay

I run his stuff in a virtual machine it doesn’t matter mark isn’t going to know anything about what i do i feed this thing to a vm it should be just fine now after getting all of this set up oculus rift s was great it comes with the headset it came

With the two weird circular controllers which these things really do help and when we get to part three of this video you can hear all about the other xs vr experiences this isn’t necessarily a vr review i’m just telling you what i ended up getting it cost me a couple hundred dollars

Several hundred dollars no few hundred dollars like three four hundred and i set it up on my pc within an hour or something and i was good to go uh all i had to do was install the oculus app i had to install steam and i was ready to go

Now with minecraft in this case a lot of it was also getting shaders and texture packs now in this case i’m actually using something called seus which is sonic ethers unleash shaders ptgi which is path tracing global illumination this is a version of ray tracing that is made for the java version of

Minecraft so all in all the gameplay requirements i needed was minecraft on java i needed uh scus ptgi and then i had a texture pack called um soa which made a much more realistic sort of modern looking texture pack out there that i was using to help render and give

The textures a different asset style this is all i had to do okay now there is also the minecraft bedrock version and i’m sure you can get that to work under vr but uh there’s a problem with that and it’s the fact that it’s the [ __ ] bedrock version of minecraft look i’m

Not here to rag on you if the bedrock version works for you go for it dog i don’t really care congratulations i’m happy for you but the objective better way to play minecraft is java it ran better the actual ray tracing uh implementation under java through the seus mod

Actually gave me more frames than nvidia’s official ray traced version and it actually in my opinion looked better now key word here was the frame rate i really needed it but before we get to that let’s just talk about how i set up my minecraft world i built myself a minecraft mansion pools

And all that kind of stuff i basically made myself a nice looking house something that i would like to live in you know if i could have this in reality something that would probably cost me multiple millions of dollars in reality was able to be basically created under a

Matter of hours and a couple hundred dollars with a vr headset substantially [ __ ] different okay now i built myself an entire house i got myself a bedroom my entire house was basically all about grand vistas and just really letting the lighting speak for itself i went for a dimmer style at night

Something that i would like to walk around without really bleeding into my eyeballs too much and given the fact that i’m in vr it helped out a lot i wanted to get myself a skylight above me so as i was sleeping i could open my eyes and look at the sun

Or just look at the clouds before i passed out and i could get that same vision looking around my entire house was a glass house but it’s okay to have a glass house in minecraft nobody else is going to grief you as long as you’re on a single player

Server am i right or am i right now with all of that set up the whole point was to also get frames right which was very important to have when i built my world and started putting it into vr in oculus vr i faced a problem given the fact

Compared to psvr i had to go with a higher resolution anyways higher resolutions means my graphic card has to work twice as [ __ ] hard whereas on psvr i could look around move and i would have a constant smooth buttery frame rate on oculus rift svr because of the higher resolution

My character world was rendering really slowly in in the captures that i’ve taken you might notice that the edges of my screen are black that’s because as i’m moving around the graphic card cannot pump enough frames to help the vr this actually induces severe [ __ ] motion sickness

So i was able to counteract it now how is i able to do that using something called half rate resolution rendering now this is something that i did in the in the minecraft for a week video where i actually use this with psvr i used in a more aggressive version of

This under this oculus rift system and what it basically does is it renders the actual game at a lower resolution than what is actually being sent out but it uses clever ai and trickery and and and and basically like upscaling methods to to make the resolution look as native as it can

And if you’re not looking too closely at like all the all the all the goofs and gaffs that happen because of it it pretty much gives you a convincing image anyways this was able to get me a frame rate to 90 which was all i needed above and beyond to

Actually run this world in vr so that was effectively what i had to do i was able to have ray traced minecraft with a good texture pack in full virtual reality now with all of that said i even was able to increase the render distance and

I was able to get it looking more like reality if reality was [ __ ] cubed now let me give you something over here okay this is where the real benefits came out from from a sleep paralysis perspective this is just very very straight up mathematics i was able to reduce my sleep paralysis

Attacks by 85 percent in the month alone to remind you i’m someone that has this [ __ ] almost every night to be able to have it down at a point where for one whole week straight i did not get one sleep paralysis attack meant that whatever i invested into it the time the money

Was all but worth it it was the best [ __ ] sleep of my goddamn life and i will attest to that until the day i am dead now to the point i’ll give you a quick visual showcase as to how bad the sleep paralysis attacks even gotten because even when i got the

Attacks the effect was severely lessened so i’m gonna do the best i can to just edit together what i had So i guess the best way to put it is when i was having my sleep paralysis attacks the world was effectively just fuzzy i wasn’t able to really see anything uh if if if anything at all the very center of the vision the very center of

My of what i was looking at was the only thing that was sharp the audio around me was obviously very muffled and garbled it was like i was underwater to an extent and that was really all that was in the world of minecraft that was my sleep paralysis

And i guess the best way to assess it was that i was effectively getting a constant stream of stimulation whereas with my regular sleep paralysis it’s really up to my brain to make up the entire world around me with minecraft even though that i was going through a sleep paralysis attack

I was just being fed a constant visual information one that was unchanging one that was part of this world that was rendered in front of me independent of what my brain was doing and the audio was being fed to me which was very calm soothing relaxing minecraft music

And i think that ultimately helped me out a lot and now i think even if i don’t sleep with the vr headset on because of the lack of frequency and because i’m sleeping properly for once in my goddamn life i actually feel like sleep paralysis may be a completely lessened affair for me

And i think even if it gets bad i can reintroduce myself to the world of minecraft see sleeping in minecraft is just a complete therapeutical experience for me whatsoever now part three for this video is actually changing the way i play video games too now that i’ve slept in minecraft i

Realized that entering into virtual reality made me play the game differently as well for instance features like farming features like dungeoneering or crafting for oars or doing anything got so much more intense what virtual reality does is it adds proper scale to the environment around you and it’s

Something that i’ll never be able to show you in a video unless it’s a vr viewable video and you have to have a vr headset too let me explain why if you play the game in pancake mode which is basically having it displayed on a flat screen like you would play regularly on

Pc or console anyways the game doesn’t really do a good way of conveying depth as a vr headset would do for instance you could build yourself this mansion right if i was to look up in the gameplay it may not look that tall it’ll be tall but

It won’t look as tall as it really should slapping on a vr headset puts you in the viewpoint of an actual human being in my case i’m six foot two so to be able to go into my minecraft house as a six foot two character and look straight up

At a very very realistic reinterpretation based on height and width of the world in vr made it so that i was actually inside a mansion with a super tall ceiling that added to depth looking over a railway down to the first floor actually felt like i was in a real house

Looking from the second floor to the first floor and it changes the way that i played the game for instance going into a dungeon was just so much more intense it wasn’t a matter of me crafting for oars or finding iron ore or diamond door half the fun of dungeoneering came from

Finding large chasms looking down and having my fear of heights invoked within me looking at lava walls spewing out looking at the world around me reinterpreted as it was actually meant to be it was like entering a different dimension so to speak right like some real [ __ ] sword art online [ __ ]

Now the other thing that came out with it was other very various games given the fact that we are in lockdown right now going around to multiple parts of the city in reality may not be something that’s so easy for people to do right i know a lot of people are scared

Shitless of covet and they probably have a reason to as well i mean it’s it’s a scary world we live in and maybe they have other people in the family they don’t want to risk to any sort of unwanted exposure for this [ __ ] pandemic so they stay inside for most of the time

For me that’s kind of my reality too i have family members you know people that are older than 50 55 that i have to come in contact with and i would feel very very guilty if i caused them to have an attack of covid now with that said i

Still like to take in the sights of a city now grand theft auto 5 is a game that has a very very realistic reinterpretation of the city of los angeles in fact it’s probably been on the best simulations i’ve seen period now gta 5 has a mod called real which is

A vr mod and it’s a fully playable vr mod meaning that you can start the single player and finish it 100 in [ __ ] vr if you wanted to in fact it’s something that i’m actually doing right now but with it i was able to go into the

City of los santos get into a car in a furnace an actual car i was able to sit and look at this car as if it was an actual vehicle meaning that if i look to my right that seat was as far as me as it would normally be in reality i was

Able to drive around the city i was able to walk around the city as if i was actually there hell i’ve seen so many details in a game that i put thousands of hours into with a brand new perspective quite literally and it really did change the

Way i played the game i wasn’t even playing the game i was in a [ __ ] vacation period and that was probably something that blew my mind now other games i played were half-life alex because i mean that was a de facto vr game you have to get

And again the sense of scale and depth and how much you interact with the world really did again change the way that i played from the little i put into it i can already say it’s kind of like a game of the year for me it just

Really changes the way you get into it games like elite dangerous are just so much more [ __ ] immersive because now you’re not just staring at a monitor that has you sitting in the [ __ ] you know pilot seat for a massive super ship you no no you’re actually sitting in it yourself looking

Around the world i mean it goes beyond just control and perspective of the world i mean it really just feels like you have entered a different [ __ ] dimension now i know that i’m going off on a tangent but going back to the beginning of this minecraft is a game that i have

Consistently slept in for a month now is this something that is going to spawn a video where it says i’ve slept in minecraft for a year probably not it’s definitely not healthy that i sleep in a vr headset for most of my time even with blue light filters and whatnot it’s just not

Healthy in the long term for my eyeballs and everything and i don’t want to make it a dependency if that’s you know if that makes sense so for me the best way to tackle this is i’m going to do it maybe for a couple more weeks and i’m going to try sleeping

Cold turkey without minecraft and if i can keep my sleep paralysis away then i can definitely say that minecraft vr sleeping has without a shadow of a doubt made my life better saved my life probably added years to my life as well too so yeah i can probably just say video

Games had one of the most positive effects on me as well so ladies and gentlemen this is it and like last time i covered this i was promising you something more wholesome than pee weeds your herman jacking off at a movie theater and i hope i provided that ladies and

Gentlemen if you like what you saw please like comment and subscribe dislike it if you dislike it i am out You
