    Goddamn this is horrible for a number of reasons, but let me check the boxes:

    1. how is that mouse (pretty sure it’s a rat btw) so closely attached to that device?
    2. it’s equilibrium is all fucked up because they put it’s body on a curved ball and the display clearly has a flat plane for some reason
    3. rodent eyes can’t see occlusive lenses like we do, so this is just an animal absolutely panicked and doing whatever it thinks it needs to do to stay alive. I’m not even going to get into the refresh rate issue for an animal with eyes this small.
