Do these first (strongest evidence)

Worth trying

Why this is different: Most "VR motion sickness" pages are recycled top-10 lists that mix what works with what doesn't. We give you per-headset, per-game settings backed by published research, label each tip's evidence strength honestly (yes, that means telling you ginger is weak), and keep the page calm so it doesn't make you feel worse.
