I’ve had a Meta Quest 3S for months, but have this one big problem with it

I just don't use the thing

One of the rewarding things about testing tech for a living is that your verdict on a device can change over time. The review period is generally your best effort at capturing what it's been like to live with a product for a couple of weeks, but it's impossible to know what you'll think months down the line.

Sometimes the surprise is a pleasant one, as something worms its way into your daily routine and becomes indispensable. Other times, though, it's a little more disappointing, as something confirms itself as a bit of a novelty that you don't actually use very often.

This has always been the biggest hurdle for me with virtual reality – the momentum to actually use a device regularly requires some quite specific circumstances. For one thing, I think I'd need a friendship group that all owned headsets and had at least a handful of multiplayer games they wanted to regularly play together in them.
