Out of curiosity, what do you use VR for? Haven't found an application yet to make me finally buy a headset.

Hot dogs, horseshoes, and hand grenades (essentially a shooting range simulator with almost 300 accurately modeled firearms and plenty of game modes with more content added pretty much weekly)

Beat Saber is a VR rhythm game, and I adore rhythm games

Multiple driving/racing sims, including assetto corsa, project cars, and Euro Truck simulator (though I struggle to play that one in VR)

VTOL VR is an incredible near future Flight and military simulation seemingly focusing on weapons handling

I have over 30 VR applications, and at least 10 I would consider full fledged "games", but those are what I spend most of my time in
