Post-VR Dissonance

Post-VR Dissonance is a feeling users that are new to Virtual Reality devices often experience after using the console. Some feelings include feeling like you're remotely controlling yourself, a need to touch something to feel grounded, and possibly symptoms of Motion Sickness. After a few days the dissonance disappears and using VR and regular life become second nature. It is recommended to not use VR applications that use Joystick movement, high intensity games, or very long experiences in VR when one is new to the platform, as these can possibly worsen the effects of Post-VR Dissonance.
Clyde played a high intensity VR game the first day he used his headset, and felt Post-VR Dissonance because of it.

Dissonance

Dissonance (music) is the “disagreement” or “clash” between two notes. For example F# and G would have dissonance and this would cause a annoying or “out of tune” sound that isn't very pleasant to hear. But it can be used to add frustration to a piece of music and when used right, it can sound cool.
Béla Bartók used dissonance in his piece String Quartet No.4 especially the 5th movement! It sounded super cool!

Metanarrative Dissonance

Metanarrative Dissonance is an incongruence between the narrative of a game (the story) and the outside parts unrelated to the story nor the game itself (real life related features).
