Hiya, fun seeing you here too! I have no experience with VR aside from a roller coaster VR experience thingy (no physical movement) so I'm really hoping it doesn't make me puke.
But also, I've never puked on a boat, roller coaster, car, etc. So I think I might be ok.
It may surprise you. I never got motion sickness in my entire life until I got a Quest 2 and did anything that had heavy motion, or trying to use stick controls to move while standing physically. It took a while to get used to. Plus, you could also encounter the hotshots in a 'conda that tap you while entering/exiting a station sending you spinning, and that is something I still have to take the headset off or close my eyes momentarily for lol
Okay, the spinning would certainly get me queasy, but I think such spinning would still make me sick if I experienced it with the correct motion. Not that I'd have the opportunity to find out.
I think seated joystick movement might not bother me too much, if I think of it like a mobility scooter. Standing? I'm worried about that the most.
Strongly advise starting out near a wall or something so you can lean against it if you feel you might fall over. The only sensation weirder than moving in game while standing still IRL for me is getting acclimated to being in VR, and then leaving it. It's not quesiness or anything, but it just feels wonky for up to an hour, depending on how long I was in the headset. Like the real world isn't real.
