Steam physics

Ok so I have 2 questions:

1: Have steam physics always made you slide or is that just recent?

2: Do steam physics make you slide on all headsets or is it just quest link?

I know that atleast for the past year or so that steam physics on quest link made you slide but before that was it like that?

And like if I played on valve index do you slide or is that just a quest link thing?

Why does this happen?

I have depression (Not sure if that is classed as neurodivergent. Sorry if it isn't) and whenever I there is moments of high emotional intensity or emotionally overwhelming moments (Like my dad having a blow up at me or like us having an argument that ends badly) I feel drunk afterwards. It usually doesn't go away until the next morning.

Like I will legit not be able to walk in a straight line sometimes, will have like no filter, talk nonsense, just be like physically there but mentally not and have like no emotions. It's not an actual drunk but that's the most accurate way I can describe the behaviour.

I don't know why this happens. Why?

(Also sorry again if this is the wrong sub)

VIM rant

VIM started out as just having full body tracking, 20 player lobbies, golden name tag and early access to cosmetics. Honestly at first it didn't seem like such a big deal to me because honestly it was just cool features and not weekly exclusive cosmetics. Like yes you'd get VIM cosmetics when you bought VIM but wasn't like a whole floor full of cosmetics that ONLY VIM got.

But now it's like way out of hand. Having a clock in stump, having lava forest, having a whole VIM floor full of cosmetics, even a feature to get rid of steam microphone requires VIM now. I think that is just really stupid. Like yeah I understand that the game is not free to make and money is needed to run the game but VIM is just gone overboard to be honest.

Honestly it might ruin the game or make it die because the general updates are not even that good anymore. They should honestly have kept it as "Early access and cool features like body tracking and shit" instead of making it exclusive access. For example, having flashback sales in VIM like a week or 2 before or having lava forest a week or 2 before everyone else or having a "get rid of steam microphone sound" setting a week or 2 before everyone else.

And like 20 player lobbies? I can live without it. Full body tracking? I don't need it. Hand tracking? I'm okay.

But like, "Oh lava forest is back but only VIM gets it? That's ridiculous! Cleaning steam microphone only for VIM? Why not just add that, ya'll were clearly able to do that the whole time!" That's the kind of things they can shift from "exclusivity" to early access

It's just a whole thing now where it's honestly a hierarchy. If they make it an early access thing and actually start pushing out good updates again then that would likely solve like 80-90% of their problems.

For context, 2 weeks ago I had a skin abscess cleaned out. They gave me antibiotics when I was discharged and up until yesterday I was taking them daily. One of the first things I noticed was how much it affected my mood. It made me more irritable and more very low moods. It also means that my emotions and emotional reactions were extremely difficult for me to control, and emotionally speaking I couldn't handle much. I got diagnosed with depression recently as well and that probably also contributes to it. Just think about it as being drunk (Not all the time) but without consuming alcohol.

So on Sunday my mum (46m) and dad (52m) called me into the living room so that we could have a conversation. At some point in the conversation I shared how I didn't like the way he treated my siblings and I felt that I was getting special treatment and it wasn't fair. I gave an example, and he took that information to make an extreme scenario. Like me saying: "If ___ is 7 minutes late to bed, just be calmer about it and don't give him a hard time." And then him turning it into, "So I should just let him do whatever he wants" which was far from what I was saying.

He did that about 2 more times before I finally said, "Do you know how frustrating it is to talk to you? Because no matter what I say, you don't seem to understand it at all and you just twist my words in your favor! Everything is always about you!"

I then stormed into my room because I just couldn't be in there anymore. My mum and dad took my computer away as punishment and were trying to act like I was in the wrong. To be honest I would not put it past him to do something like this on purpose because of how he has been throughout my life towards me and my family. He has always been manipulative to us. He has done this kind of thing in the past where he gets me to a point where I have an outburst and then uses that to say, "See I'm not the bad guy he is."

AITA?

Edit: additional context - In the past 6 weeks my parents have been doing counselling sessions together for support to be better to everyone in the family
