It’s really weird how time goes by so fast and that’s where it all started I took on this challenge from multiple reasons I wanted to experience it to a feeling of being in a different world for a long period of time that feeling of being disconnected from everything And everyone and being fully immersed in a different environment but of all of this is possible and pretty much any VR game or app why did I specifically pick Minecraft the answer simple minecraft offers a lot of stuff to do and that was absolutely necessary if I was going to Spend 24 hours in a single game that and the fact that I want to see how the time difference would impact me in the end minecraft day/night cycles only lasts for 20 minutes while in real life they last 24 hours I’m going to spend 72 days in Minecraft while only spending 24 Hours in real time This is 24 hours of my caviar We should be live oh my goodness when starting up the game you instantly realize the fact that for the next 24 hours this place will be your home taking that into account I was very optimistic and ready to get started and create something amazing and have being said my Optimism was tested fairly quickly come on oh god were almost dead no stop it wow that’s great that’s a great start no good Oh dope Oh No Oh No after dying over and over again and getting boosted probably the most weird control scheme I’ve ever had to deal with I knew this Was going to be harder than I thought and so it was for the first few hours but eventually and I still don’t really know how but I built my first house So far I experienced zero dizziness or nausea and my eyes were still 100% okay I was getting used to the world I was in the only thing that I felt was present was the cable right on top of my VR headset which was constantly being pushed onto my head by my audio headset As I ventured on and explored my surroundings I came across a beautiful location where I knew I had to build an actual house at so I went back to quote my stuff return to the new location and started building oh yes oh it’s just saw this earlier but now beautiful this Place is oh my god my to move my stuff here can be like a dog here and then we go out to the sea that way get a horse dude it went pretty alright for the next couple of hours my current goal was to set up another portal and hop on over Into the nether the end goal here was to eventually reach the end of the game but that goal was far away and I knew for a fact that I wouldn’t make it without sleep you’re basically standing still for 24 hours straight and that’s in real time but at one point because you’re so Immersed in this world it starts to feel like you’ve been standing for days so eventually your legs will tell you to take a break I had three sleep breaks two of which lasted about two hours and one long one the lasted for hours sleeping with the headset on wasn’t really a problem the Only thing I quickly noticed is that I couldn’t move my head around too much as that would make my audio headset fall off so I had to lay down perfectly straight I just wish I didn’t build a chicken farm right outside of my bedroom waking up in Viera is a weird thing for The first three seconds I always thought I’d go on a complete trip from waking up inside of a game because when you’re asleep you kind of forget about what’s going on but we are prove me wrong I mean yes for the first few seconds you’re like where am i but then you Instantly realize and snap back to what you were doing and everything is fine so I started off my next few days I expect these days working on the house gathering resources exploring my surroundings and killing a few skeletons here and there and let me just say I am convinced these guys had something against me there were so many skeletons my primary goal at this point was to find diamonds the first few hours had Passed and normally around this time I’d have a bunch of them I didn’t find anything yet though until I came across a large ravine this whole segment of exploring the cave system that was underneath my house the entire time was a very dangerous yet very rewarding journey I am so terrified I don’t know I don’t have a fear of heights but if I did I’d lost my pit right now oh go on please okay we made it they have to be diamonds here right come on that’s across so if I die now I will regret it I will never Forgive myself hello baby hold on maybe maybe you got soul over here Yes yes bounder I’m so happy right now okay please do not let me die okay three that’s perfect you know what I am going to bring obsidian straightaway here comes the long process of getting enough when I finally set foot into the nether portal that’s where the first dizziness Kicked in we all know the world animation that plays when you go through the portal and you can clearly tell it was not made with VR and mind it really felt as if I was going through a time machine everything started spinning in the whole world around me started to deform and Before I knew it I was in a completely different dimension surviving the nether is quite a task in VR not only can you fall to your death pretty much anywhere there’s also these giant gasp waiting around every corner now I expect that I could do it seeing as I was now used to All the controls in the VR mechanics of the game I was wrong this is a very dangerous place oh my god no no no no no no no no no as with everything know I learned and adapted over time and eventually was capable of roaming around without dying Coming back from the nether my next task was to acquire ender pearls which I meet later for the other portal now under men don’t spawn as often as the other mobs but luckily in VR the world is a playground and so I spawn in just a few There was still zero signs of any nausea apart from being inside the boat I didn’t really know I can row a boat as fast as I did but because of the insane speed my mind wasn’t able to keep up and resulted in minor nausea as for time I Was at this point where time wasn’t really a thing anymore I like to compare to the moment when you’re so tired you’re not even tired anymore and as much as time wasn’t an issue at this point sore muscles really were because of the time difference being so huge I feel like somehow my Mind thought that I’d been walking for days on end and actually fooled my muscles in some way making them able to last longer I think at this point I was standing straight for a good eight hours and the moment I lay down to sleep is when I really really started to feel it And so getting back up again was even harder as the Sun rose on day 60 I only had four hours left to make my way to and fight the dragon in the end I geared up as best as I could and headed out to face him let’s just say that I almost Got him oh my god that was that getting destroyed by the dragon I gave up on completing the game as I lost all of my loot and it was only a few cycles left until the 72 days mark I didn’t want it to end with at least one goal being Completed so I finished my house I think what we do is we add one two three more block and then adds like the last few days were very quiet it was relaxing really I was just mining building and talking through the chat however as with everything the final hour felt like it Took the longest of them all I’m going to sit down here but I’m happy it did it gave me enough time to create some sweet fireworks and get to a nice spot where I could end my journey I climbed up a tree with nothing but fireworks sat down and Watch the Sun rise one final time it’s really weird how time goes by so fast come on 10 more seconds dude [Laughter] Let’s go yes get it oh thank goodness I am so done oh oh no we’re taking this thing off after 24 hours of streaming and I look like this right now no oh god dude why not geez my god hello who the rest of the day in the following Few days went by very slow for me I feel like I didn’t scream for 24 hours rather a few minutes and looking back at it it feels like I just skip today to me this proves that time is and will always be one of the most interesting concepts There is it also shows that VR really is something else and we’re just scratching the surface Video Information
