How to Steer a Conversation Back to the Topic

It's true. I have a VR headset, because I am a sci-fi author and it seemed like valid research (And I wanted to pleay Star Trek: Bridge Crew with my brothers). I have watched several movies in my VR headset. There are a few different programs that create realistic movie theaters in which to sit and watch either streaming content, or files you have on your hard drive. The resolution isn't exactly 4k, but then again, I mostly watch old movies I didn't get to see in the theater when I was a kid. I would have seen them at the Mercy 6-Plex in Yakima Washington in the late-70s or early-80s, and I don't think they had the brightest bulbs or the cleanest screens, so I figure I'm still getting a superior visual experience to what I'd have had in the real world. Really, the only downside is that it breaks the illusion when the theater fills with the sound of Missy laughing at me because I look ridiculous eating popcorn in a VR visor and headphones.
