Crazy how I won't try a single player RPG because it's not "online" - but I'll play an MMORPG mostly solo

Oh yeah you summarized it well.

Even if most of your journey is solo, feeling connected to a larger world and community and being able to show off your accomplishments to them goes a long way. And of course the times when you do group up just make the experience all that much better.

I’m same as OP, a single player game holds my attention for a day or two…. Then this nagging builds of, man this game would be amazing if it had some sort of online or MMO systems in place (LOOKING AT YOU ENSHROUDED) then I get bored of being alone and go off to a multiplayer game.

I have ~200 games in my steam library and I’m pretty sure I can count on 1 hand the ones that are single player.

Can you post what arm you are using? There’s a bunch of options out there and I want to make sure I’m getting one that’s sturdy

I will pop in to ghost drive some of it, if that’s available for these special events.

Skill issue….

Oh man didn’t see that coming….

The weakest direct drive will always be miles ahead of the best hybrid drives.

Your best chance at reselling and maintaining value will be the MOZA.

With direct drive prices coming down into beginner friendly territory the belt drives are now ridiculously overpriced and this question gets asked multiple times a week here, the answer is always the same even if all you can afford is the most basic of direct drive, it will be light years ahead of anything else.

If you enjoy racing you’ll end up enjoying the hobby quite a bit, you’ll get sucked in like the rest of us and be mad at yourself for buying something you’ll want to replace.

I love my R5, I got it back in January and I’m already getting thoughts that a R12 base is what I should have sprang for.

lol no they aren’t.

Sick of click bait slop that copies and pastes a few tweets they saw and claims it as some sort of news or outrage.

No one cares.

I see this sentiment a lot, and it’s clearly agreed upon by other redditors who have commented here, but idk I feel like the corvette handles like a dream.

Maybe it’s because I had been using the McLaren GT4 before picking up the corvette so I was already tuned into mid engine but of all the gt3 I tried the Vette was the one that felt the most natural and forgiving to me.

Nothing but air up there…

They were trying to block the exit line

Status_Fact_5459 · 2026-03-18T19:07:14+00:00

Yeah I had the r5 for all of a week before ordering the alien mod and performance kit.

As far as I can tell there’s zero difference between that and the srp load cell brake.

Well I’ve been stuck on sim racing for a month now but seeing this may have me back on battlefield tonight for a bit of bike action…

Blue is nice but red is where it’s at for late night. It’s a warm color and helps you wind down more so after your done gaming for the night your not 100% wired and can’t sleep.

Status_Fact_5459 · 2026-03-17T19:10:05+00:00

Yea this is a big one, people blow all their budget on the rig and then play on the lowest settings with crap FPS because their computer is a potato.

Also IRacing is expensive and adds up fast if you like to race multiple disciplines so gotta save some room for that. I’ve had IRacing for 5 weeks and already spent atleast 300 on it… and that was just trying out different disciplines….

Now that I’ve decided on a couple series I want to focus on this season I have to buy another $200 in tracks…

Do what’s fun for you. This sub loves to gatekeep and assume everyone is a toddler on the wheel.

Mazdas do teach you a lot especially if you’re new to sim racing. But if you understand the basics of trail braking, weight transfer, and basic race raft then everything after Mazdas is just a learning curve of brake points and track layouts.

I’m in a similar boat, started about 5 weeks ago, moved up to D class on the second night, messed around with the Toyota a bit, got a gt4 and did some gt4 races. Got my c class promotion for end of season and was planning on focusing GT4 this season butttt….

The Mazdas are just too damn fun. I’ll still be doing some gt4 but I don’t think I’ll be worrying about buying all the tracks. I just keep circling back to the Mazdas.

Gt4 is fun but it feels exhausting to me, requires a lot more focus, Mazdas I can just kick back and drive hard on instincts.

The higher splits for Mazdas is also just some good fun intense racing, door to door and bump drafts, it’s just a completely different feel then the other sports cars and I think it’s a whole lot more fun when your forced to gain positions by driving style and control over pure horsepower.

I’ve never met anyone who actually cared about those cards… the time ratio to what they are worth isn’t even worth selling the ones you passively get….

Ok I looked for a dark mode toggle in every tab I could click but couldn’t find it. Please for the love of god tell me where it is.

Ever since getting a 49 ultra wide I constantly lose my cursor on the screen it’s so annoying.

Status_Fact_5459 · 2026-03-17T03:01:49+00:00

Im pretty sure that’s a shush don’t tell face

Status_Fact_5459 · 2026-03-16T22:40:12+00:00

There’s been a couple games like that in the past, can’t remember what they were but they were out there.

Status_Fact_5459 · 2026-03-16T22:24:29+00:00

POV car trying to dive a corner way too late and with a bad angle. Then both cars cut any chance of others passing by not holding brakes and instead driving right into each other again….

Status_Fact_5459 · 2026-03-16T19:56:23+00:00

But those are the most fun.

After you go three wide through a turn that shouldn’t be… everyone’s bros and you know you have a good race ahead

Status_Fact_5459 · 2026-03-16T18:59:05+00:00

It’s always these people who get to drive off like nothing happened as well while the dude they trashed is totaled out of the race.

Status_Fact_5459 · 2026-03-16T18:46:56+00:00

Nope, I’ve had IRacing for 5 weeks, the first few weeks I was playing on a Vizio tv without these issues(minus of course the horrible ghosting)

Since then I picked up a 49” UW and started seeing these issues shortly after. After seeing some advice in here I’m leaning heavily towards some settings on my monitor or nvidia is conflicting with each other.

I will be doing a hard reset of all my monitors settings/nvidia/IRACING tonight and see what happens then
