A Chinese study found that frequent consumption of pornography, done by 69% of American men, can negatively affect brain function, leading to longer reaction times and reduced accuracy in cognitive tests, potentially fostering addiction and disrupting personal relationships.
Some players in the Street Fighter 6 community are calling for the removal of the screen freeze that occurs during the activation of raw Drive Rush. While this freeze can cause opponents' inputs to fail, a modded version of the game shows that removing it would make the move even harder to react to. Comparisons are drawn to Street Fighter 5's meta, where forward dashes created strong offensive options. While players want raw Drive Rush to be more reactable, completely removing the screen freeze may not be the best solution, and tweaks to the mechanic are suggested instead.
Listening to joyful or calming music can reduce the intensity of cybersickness symptoms, including dizziness, nausea, and headaches, experienced by virtual reality users, according to a study by researchers at the University of Edinburgh. The study also found that cybersickness can temporarily impair cognitive skills and reaction times, which could limit the use of virtual reality in clinical and educational settings. The researchers suggest that music could be an intervention to encourage greater use of virtual reality in these settings.
