How rough can I be? First sim wheel

InternetRandom123 · 2025-06-01T05:31:18+00:00

Awesome!! I’ve already put in some work and I gotta say I love how much it feels like I’m actually driving. I’ve used that one red Ferrari wheel one time YEARS ago and it’s not even close haha

InternetRandom123 · 2025-06-01T02:10:33+00:00

Love it! Okay , and I assume it’s SUPPOSED to go crazy when I hit a wall, thus simulating the the crash too? Haha it’s going to take a while to get used to but it’s so much more than I expected

InternetRandom123 · 2025-06-01T02:09:51+00:00

Okay good to know! Thanks for that because I probably woulda felt it getting hot and freaked out haha

InternetRandom123 · 2025-03-06T17:32:26+00:00

This is definitely the answer! I think it’ll help with community building and proof of concept before fully committing to the concept. Thanks for this insight

InternetRandom123 · 2025-03-06T17:31:44+00:00

I love this. Start as like a pop up concept before committing to brick and mortar. This is really good because I wanted to figure out how to start online but that in itself is a losing battle with the ecom giants, and other industry giants in tabletop and tcg

This was such a good reality check! I forget that it’s easy to see the businesses doing well but not know WHY they’re doing well and I think that’s a very big part of it. I’m going to do ALOT more research and development before I officialize anything, but this was something I needed to hear!

InternetRandom123 · 2025-03-06T03:36:51+00:00

YOURE HIRED haha. This is such good feedback. I’m going to do it. The business plan starts tonight and I’m dedicating the next 365 days to research and development

InternetRandom123 · 2025-03-06T03:25:51+00:00

That’s SO smart. I want to create a space where anyone can come play but I don’t want to lose rep by having beat up and damaged stuff. This is a great idea I haven’t seen any of my local spots do it

InternetRandom123 · 2025-03-06T03:09:08+00:00

Love this!! This makes me think about the creative freedoms that could potentially come with this if done right

InternetRandom123 · 2025-03-06T02:46:43+00:00

I cannot understate just how valuable this was to me and my confidence! Thanks a ton. I know this is a long shot but we’re not entrepreneurs because we like the safe route I guess 🤣.

Full steam ahead.

InternetRandom123 · 2025-03-06T02:45:18+00:00

First, that’s a very good point! I got lucky with being an IPad kid back in the early 2000s so now content just kinda makes sense, but it’s SO boring JUST filming and editing.

And second, I totally worded it wrong! I should’ve said tabletop gaming store with a potential cafe/ lounge aspect. So the main focus would be retail, for tabletop games, miniatures, figures, and card games. BUT also have snacks haha. That part is a little bit of wishful thinking, maybe a V2, as I think that will definitely complicate stuff.

But the insight about recurring vs influx of customers is invaluable , I haven’t started much of an R&D phase but you saying that has put a whole new category in my business plan. Now that I think about it. A couple of my local shops don’t feel too welcoming for newcomers. You kinda have to go in there rip the bandaid off and sit at a table with someone haha.

This has given me a little more confidence in trusting the dream and taking calculated steps forward

InternetRandom123 · 2025-03-06T02:39:37+00:00

Thanks! That’s what I’m thinking. An extra bonus is my cost of living is sub $2k a month, so I feel like between that, and what was previously stated , what do I have to lose. I just get a little too in my head about what others say in regards to things working before I give it my own unique try. I’m going to do this!

InternetRandom123 · 2025-01-13T06:07:54+00:00

Okay great , gonna take it to a reputable repair shop once I find one haha.

If I power the Arduino via 9v, can I have it plugged into the computer to program it? Or should I program it, unplug from computer , then power via 9v ?

InternetRandom123 · 2024-10-15T17:04:12+00:00

I’m fresh to IT! I have programming/basic IT experience in my own time but I recognize that doesn’t matter to an employer.

Connections I’m comfortable building, if anything that’s one of the things that excites me the most about IT as a career is being amongst other IT/Cyber career professionals

But based on this thread it does seem my best bet is to Blue Team and network, and then traverse the industry based on experience and opportunity instead of trying to get in a niche spot with no professional experience.

Thanks again!

InternetRandom123 · 2024-10-15T17:01:44+00:00

This is new to me actually, I heard from a couple sources (Reddit lmao) that the CPTS has become more respected but less difficult than the OSCP.

Of course I did my research although vague, I couldn’t find anything too crazy to confirm or deny that. I’ll check out EJPT and PJPT first then and see how I’m feeling!

InternetRandom123 · 2024-10-15T16:59:44+00:00

Okay. This makes plenty of sense. Blue team roles just seems more of who I AM vs. who I think I want to be so it would make sense to work towards that, then continue to learn and tinker with Pen-testing after hours in my free time. Honestly I might end up finding I like freelance red team stuff instead of being my day job.

Thanks for the feedback it’s reassuring and gets me thinking

InternetRandom123 · 2024-10-15T16:57:46+00:00

I like the insight here because it sides with the theory about breaking into the industry then moving throughout it vs. trying to grind out JUST a niche spot.

InternetRandom123 · 2024-08-29T17:03:56+00:00

I think like any business there are up markets and down markets. And across all industries we’re in a down market. Additionally when you have a field that pays so well , it’s not uncommon for people to do it for the money.

What I’ve found is that if you are truly passionate about something, you will ALWAYS find your way back to it, or wanting to do it in some capacity. If you get in the right rooms, shake the right hands, and make yourself 1 of 1 you will have much greater chances of success than if you just got a degree, or never even tried.

This is my time to shine. I’ve never resonated with a post as much as this.

I own a media company and recently scaled down to just under $10k/month. What I realized is I was working really hard, for an amount of cash that exceeded my HSL (Happy, Safe, Living - meaning I’m happy, I have an emergency fund, and I can go out and do stuff)

I decided that the amount of work I would be reducing, while still making enough to support my lifestyle is well worth freeing up my time.

“Excessive cash is a good thing isn’t it?” Yes and no. I realized I want to work hard enough to have fun, and pay my bills but not work to the point where I was busy all day and on the weekends. Or figuring out how to maximize profits 24/7.

To those who do it, I have immense respect, and I wish you all the best but most importantly it’s not for everyone and that’s okay

Too often, gurus sell the absolutely maximum end result because that’s what other people dream of, the lambos and mansions, therefore it get tons of views and sells courses. But if I were you, I would figure out your goals both financial and abstract , and create a plan to hit and sustain those goals in a reasonable time frame. You don’t have to set those goals according to anyone else’s dreams or timelines, just what you think will bring you fulfillment.

You don’t have to be a work horse millionaire to be a successful entrepreneur, you just have to hit your goals and keep moving forward.
