    racing sims are a sexy hobby, that shit ain’t cheap up front and also it’s legitimately a good experience

    oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses, takes up little space, and feeds me adrenaline. you’re right that if that is enough to tank a convo then byeee

    of all the things to be a dealbreaker, playing video games is… lol. not the kind of person you want to be around. odds are they watch brainrot tiktok and reality TV, right?

      Sim racing is one of the most expensive video game related hobbies out there.

      Ask me how I know.🤣 Jokes aside though, if you’re not competing in iRacing and you’re happy with a decent but entry-level/intermediate wheel its not so bad. It’s not hard to blow 10k real fast if you want to though!

        Sure, but even so: that hardware isn’t going to be obsolete or wear out for a long time.

        Compared with going to a concert that can be $10K for 2 people to attend a single show.
