Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    I don’t get sim-racing. Even an expensive setup doesn’t feel anywhere close to real driving.

      It gets close, but it’s more about the competition. I’m not a real race car driver, nor will I be in the future, so I’m not chasing 100% realism.

      You lose the seat of the pants feel, but there’s been a good amount of improvements to hardware over the last few years that have really increased the fidelity of it.

      Lmao you’re so fixated on sim racing, you responded to it twice in the same post!

      We can say that about anything, but lots of us choose not to because it’s more fun. You should try, it’s not hard.

      “A flight simulator doesn’t feel like actually flying.” “Reading a book isn’t like actually being there.”

      Neat.
