motion sickness people: did anything actually help or did you just give up on first person games?

I can do maybe 40 minutes if the FOV is generous, but some newer games have me sweating by tutorial time. Turning off motion blur helps a little. Ginger chews help a weird amount.

Looking for real people solutions, not just "train your brain" because mine seems stubborn.

Honestly some games are just bad about it. I quit one space shooter after 20 minutes and never went back.

Big FOV, no head bob, sit farther back. Thats my holy trinity.

Chewing gum helps me. Ask me why and I cant tell you.

Tiny desk fan pointed at your face. Sounds fake, works for me.

Turning the camera sensitivity down saved me more than I expected.
