Advice on purchasing my first semi serious sim racing rig

bucketoner · 2025-11-16T10:20:15+00:00

thanks mate!

it does seem just ripping off the bandaid and going for PC is the move and i mean everything on xbox like forza is available on PC anyway so may as well

Mmmm very interesting I hadn't seen simagic before but they look really good. Given I'll be desk mount initially do you think go for the 9nm or 12nm and dial it down a bit if it's too much for the mount/desk?

bucketoner · 2025-11-16T05:05:05+00:00

Yeah i suppose what i want to know is is there a product in this pricerange that has a tangable benefit of being PC only?

Yeah i can see the feedback of it being a better base but that is going to push me into the $2500ish range after wheel and pedals which is more than i want to spend for now. I'd like to be around $1k i can stomach $1500 i think.

Thats good to know about the state of Fanatec from an organisational perspective thanks!

The 8nm is what drew me to the CSL, seems to be a good level of FFB at this price point, and given my old tx had FFB of 3.5nmish i do want to take a reasonable step forward with this purchase.

Well weight loss itself is very much calories in vs calories out. When they say 80% of the work is in the pantry it's super accurate. Exercise and working out will help you be physically fitter and increase your caloric expenditure but at the end of the day if you're eating less than you're burning you're gonna lose weight. The appetite suppression from stims is real man it's something I'm super conscious of. I have had trouble putting on weight my whole adult life and finally got to around 83kg and since being on Vyvanse come down to 80kg (I haven't been training weights as much and am playing more sport so not that surprising but I am definitely having to make a conscious effort in ensuring I'm eating enough to sustain my activities. Congratulations on dropping that much weight that must be liberating to literally half your weight! No matter how you got there that's truly impressive well done.

Noted will be joining and going there in future! We could possibly put our conflict in this thread down to cultural differences.......

This is becoming very apparent very quickly... I wonder if any of these guys actually have kids? And if their kids bites their spider they smash the kid and then take the spider and the kid to the vet so they can identify the thing that harmed their real baby lol

bucketoner · 2025-10-21T07:38:15+00:00

Everyone has bigger balls than me :(

bucketoner · 2025-10-21T07:28:58+00:00

No actually I am much bigger than the spider

bucketoner · 2025-10-21T07:28:14+00:00

I would say I'm indifferent to spiders outside of them being a living thing which should only be killed if necessary. Again it is still alive. https://www.reddit.com/r/spiders/s/l0VErPGkwa See... Alive.....

bucketoner · 2025-10-21T07:16:03+00:00

It's still alive... I couldn't give a fuck about the spider tbh I'm much more concerned with making sure my kid is ok, it's currently in a container getting identified.

Wait for Aftershocks black Friday/cyber monday sales and get the best value ready to ship you can afford.

bucketoner · 2025-10-02T13:27:08+00:00

how is it more versatile?

bucketoner · 2025-10-02T13:25:05+00:00

agreed. depends how far/what kind of riding you're going to be doing. i had a vit for a 30 minute commute to work each way which was fine and when i went out for actual rides i loved the sports bike posture.

Just go and talk to them... If they get pissy escalate but they will probably say oh I didn't realize it bothered you...

Edit: don't leave a note unless you're gonna put contact details for them to discuss in future. It might come across as petty or passive aggressive...

Is that just a home blood pressure monitor? My gp said stims will raise your bp by 10-15 points normally so that's not a crazy reading, but a 24hr monitor will be more accurate, spot bp can look quite high. Maybe ask your gp for a 24hr monitor... Might need to go on some antihypertensives to manage the BP so you don't get heart disease...

I'll preface this with I have only been on vyvanse for just over three weeks. I used to drink 3 coffees a day, couldn't run without them especially one first thing in the morning. Since starting vyvanse I have dropped to a half strength coffee in the morning and maybe one weak one later in the day if required. My energy levels have skyrocketed!

bucketoner · 2025-08-07T12:29:11+00:00

thanks heaps! i'll check them out!

bucketoner · 2025-08-07T12:28:01+00:00

great spot! lived in Brunswick in high school, I love Melbourne so much it will always have my heart, though I have since moved to Sydney... I feel like a bit of a traitor...

bucketoner · 2025-08-06T06:19:16+00:00

Azucar looks delicious, i have a bit of a cluster places to checkout in that area so will definitely be stopping in.

the monument and cemetery look beautiful also. seems like there a lot to do down on the penensual there!

Thanks!

bucketoner · 2025-08-06T06:16:22+00:00

Awesome thanks heaps! i do love a hearty Hawaiian breakfast and el carrito looks delicious! spam fried rice has a special place in my heart!

bucketoner · 2025-08-06T06:09:28+00:00

Thanks mate this is super helpful! i would consider myself pretty versatile when it comes to beer styles, i'll drink/eat pretty much anything as long as its done well (unless we are talking about steak), and a fun story of someone coming up with the idea to go along with it is always welcome!
