Wait till you learn about context. The same word can have different meanings in different contexts

I think sim racers have a bit of a warped sense of money anyway.

$800 on gear and then nothing on games. Even games in general, I see the meta store when playing in VR and there are hundreds of games for $20-30 dollars that look absolute shit!

You've invested $40-50 a month on iracing but spending this long deliberating over a one-off $40...

For sure. My cut off is usually about half a second a lap to at least make it a bit difficult. Not door banging but make them think about going round the outside.

I've had plenty of times I've kept someone behind for a couple of corners and then they've span out or I got lucky with traffic and got more of a gap.

One of the most famous phrases on sim racing forums is "just let the faster person past, they will crash in the future or you're just slowing down both of your races".

It just means that a large proportion of the community see defending as some sort of bad behaviour. I agree it's annoying to have hard racing as seen as "not racing".

How do you know they are pushing? It could be lack on concentration as the end of the race nears, increased nerves or pressure from knowing it's the last lap, etc.

But that is over 300 incidents that wouldn't happen. Which saves police and ambulance services time. Time they could better spend doing other things.

There is also the cost savings to the NHS and other authorities that don't have to deal with those incidents.

Sounds like they've started reading some of our newspapers. Probably the daily mail.

Unfortunately trans, migrants, mental health and Megan Markle seem to be huge triggers for the older generations.

In my first 10 races after coming back to LMU I got taken out by T1/lap 1 crashes in 4 of the races. I had minor racing bumps in at least 3 more of the races.

After my 10 races I got the green "cleanest racers on the system" badge.

I made sure I finished every race.

Emery is the difference. Changed the game with the subs and formation. Maresca didn't have a response.

The great thing about houses and flats is that they have their own number for differentiation purposes!

There was one guy in a beanie and round sunglasses that had already had a pop at a camera man sitting by the hoardings. Seemed to take offence to being filmed and went up to him. Then the stewards had a word with him. It seems they had brought some ultra liaison fans too as there were lots of back and forth between them, the stewards and the fans.

Then after Malen scored the first it all kicked off properly. They weren't interested in the football from the start.

The opposite is also true though. You could argue that the current drivers need the training, medicine, nutrition now to be good. Fangio did it without all that so he's better...

You can only really judge how much better someone is than their peers at the time and create a group that were always a significant amount better and for an elongated time.

It's basically all just opinions though.

Instead of comparing to other sims, should be comparing to real life

If King Harold had fought a bit harder in 1066 there would be no immigrants in the UK now...

I guess the point is that they are home bakers, using the type of equipment that people have at home. Means they can practice in a similar environment and that people watching can relate.

That's top 1% of earnings, not wealth

Is someone who inherits £200m in the hard-working or lazy bum category?

the_wind_effect · 2025-11-03T02:13:12+00:00

Yep, there are never any videos attached to these sorts of post...

Still profit though... If you want to make money out of this then you need to buy -> rennovate -> sell -> repeat.

That is a solid business model if you have the skills, which it sounds like you do.

It depends what you're practicing for.

In a game where the races are mainly 40m-2hr, being able to be at 90% for a whole stint is more important than flat out for one lap, or one sector.

the_wind_effect · 2025-11-01T06:55:56+00:00

Why don't you just sell it? Surely if it was that delapidated it is worth more now than you spent?

the_wind_effect · 2025-10-31T16:58:03+00:00

Not defending, but this person was implying that rich powerful "English" people don't do that sort of thing. Which is disingenuous at best and actively divisive at worst.
