    Saw a YouTube video yesterday of a sim racer hobbiest that spent upwards of $700+ on literally just a wheel, shifter, petals, etc. Like not even the seat or computer or monitor or anything. Literally JUST the wheel parts.

    Which is crazy but I have no way to complain as I’ve spent like 1,000 on my computer setup at least even excluding the actual PC.

    Then there’s Steam…

    * note I bought 2 steamdecks in that time and my account is like 4 years old

      Oh dear, I think I have a problem. I wonder if that counts keys bought for games from other sites like humble bundle redemptions? Even if it does, I guess I should focus on my backlog.

      If you’re good enough you can compete against real NASCAR drivers. Much cheaper than even the most basic amateur racing such as auto cross.
