Like i said, I'm not a fan of having a screen strapped to my face, doesn't matter how "decent" the model is considered by those who are into such things.

Well, people also aren't too happy about wearing a helmet on a motor bike, quad, kart, skateboard... or to strap on ski goggles or swim goggles or diving goggles to ski /swim / dive, but they put them on anyway to have either more security or a better experience. And it doesn't stop there, they even put on diving suits, protective gear, etc. to enjoy their hobbies.

It is the same for VR headsets: for a minor inconvenience you are getting experiences not possible without the HMD. If the experiences and immersion are worth it, people will accept the necessary minor hassle. Mileage will vary from person to person, but the VR-experiences will get a lot better over time and the hassle will get smaller over time.

But why would I want to make any concession for something that does not interest me?

I have trouble believing someone proficient in english (like a native englisher speaker should be) has any difficulties understanding the reasonable point that was made. Are you arguing in good faith ?

There was no point. Curl said hes not a fan of having a screen strapped to his face and Conina replied that people wear helmets and goggles all the time as if that has anything to do with Curl's personal feelings about VR headsets or things strapped to his head in general.

Why cant VR fans just accept that some people arent interested in VR? Literally every time I have seen someone say they dont like VR or that it doesnt appeal to them there is always someone questioning if they have ever used one and then goes on to list reasons why the person is wrong for not liking or being interested in VR

THANK YOU.

I don't get why VR advocates can't seem to accept the simple fact that some folks aren't into VR. It's always "oh you probably haven't even tried it/you just haven't tried the right headset/you're closed-minded/etc." NO. I JUST. DON'T. CARE. FOR. VR.
