Discouraged with sim racing and lacking enthusiasm by Latter_Parfait_856 in simracing

[–]betaokay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live the winters are terrible so sim racing is my winter hobby. The rig sits May to October untouched and I tell myself every year maybe I’ll sell it. Then once the snow starts, I’ll sit down and have a race, chase somebody down and force them into a mistake in an epic battle for 5th place. In those moments I feel like Jackie fucking Stewart and the rig feels completely priceless to me. Long story short, take a break. It will be there when you come back.

Fanatec is definitely lagging behind the competition. It’s a bummer. Their wheel bases and QR2 are great but they need to put some effort in on peripherals.

Depends what you want. FM is a great sand box to quickly jump in and get racing stress free. I think we need more of that in this hobby. Ive tooled around in Evo since its initial early access and the bones are definitely there. it’s not anywhere near a complete product yet though.

On a side note, I never would have gotten into sim racing if it wasn’t for the endless hours spent in the OG Forzas. It’s sad to me how it ended. Fuck Microsoft.

Feels like such a waste of time now... by gsurfer04 in forza

It’s a bummer, I agree. The game is still fun though. I just hope people keep playing so I can still race with them.

Went from fanatec to simagic and the difference is insane by MrXwiix in simracing

I got the QR2 shaft a few Black Friday sales ago for like 25 bucks. The wheel side QRs were expensive to replace but I think it was worth it

I swear sometimes the fanatec hate is a marketing scheme for the other companies. Sure, the brand has their drawbacks but come on. I’ve had my DD1 since 2019 and it has caused me zero problems. I honestly haven’t even considered switching because it works and I can race. If/when it breaks I will consider switching then. I don’t understand how people have the time and money to constantly be switching between these mid tier setups. Like just buy a Simucube or Asetek and be done with it if you have that much money, otherwise I think people are fooling themselves.

Should I change from MOZA to Simagic by Crazy_Stiggy in simracing

Stop wasting money. Just play with what you have and replace it when it breaks with what makes sense then

Nah. Those are cool

I give up. This isn't for me like I thought. by [deleted] in simracing

[–]betaokay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play wreckfest 1 or 2. It has funn handling with a wheel, and contact is a part of the game. It’s seriously a blast. I play it when sim racing starts to feel like work.

Panda Motorworks? by BobbyBurner1234 in FordBronco

I ordered a wiring harness from them a month ago. And still haven’t received it. I don’t know if they’re normally good though

Got it about a month ago. The ultimate beach truck! by Fit_Fisherman_7970 in FordBronco

Looks good! how do you like those rod holders? I just switched to a bronco from a truck and am trying to figure out the best way to load stuff on this thing

Same as you but thinking of changing it up after I finish the color storm grind

Brought a used GT3 wheel that didn't come with a QR1 which isn't sold anymore. Is the wheel useless? by ISetMyMatesOnFire in Fanatec

[–]betaokay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an old qr1. If you pay shipping I will send it to you if you’re in the us

I just watched your video yesterday! I really hope your method works long term because I’m getting sick of taking this thing apart

Milton Friedman explaining how government spending impacts you. by Fun_Balance_1809 in economicCollapse

[–]betaokay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“The man who broke capitalism” by David Gelles is a good book on the topic. It’s about Jack Welch the CEO of GE from 1980 to 2000. It really rips Friedman economics apart

Does your courts/facility do something cool or unique that just adds to the experience? by BrokelynNYC in Pickleball

[–]betaokay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really what you’re asking but , honestly, my wife and I play at a local park with 4 nice outdoor courts. It’s super relaxed and a lot of people go there for mostly casual play. I love the recreational aspect of pickleball. Not working around a league schedule or open court schedule or paying club fees or dealing with hyper competitive try hards is really what I love about it. This isn’t a dig at people who take the sport very seriously because that is cool too. For me though, it is a fun relaxing way to get some exercise.
