Sure is, where’s that applied to something used 40+ hr a week? You really don’t know who you’re talking to - I’m the guy with hardware purchased 20+ years ago and will repair them and they move with me.
I spend $$$$ on pro-grade gear but because I’m /c/buyforlife. Don’t be mad because people have different views on frugality than you.
See your other comment defending gatekeeping, strange hill bb, but like I said envy not a good look tbh.
Did you drop all that money the second you got into the hobby or did you wade in the water a bit to see if ya liked it? Big differences there, and the relevance to this post hinges on your answer.
I did research a bunch of communities and YouTube videos of people’s sim rigs first and how the games worked. Then decided if I got into the games I wouldn’t really enjoy them without some hardware (wheel/pedals) which turned out to be the case. And yeah didn’t get all the hardware I now use all at once and plan on some future upgrades like a stand to mount everything. Kinda like how flight sim players prefer their own sticks if that makes sense.
Holy shit I had no idea you were THE guy with hardware purchased 20+ years ago and will repair them and they move with me! Big fan of yours I even got a poster of you in my daughter’s room so that she grows with a positive rolemodel in her life!
You spend $$$$ because you can and because you never stopped to think if you should. I am “mad”, or rather, annoyed, by people burning resources because “those objects are totally necessary for a fulfilling life experience”.
And what’s funny is, you say that and then you go on detailing that you got a wheel and some pedals. Because that’s totally what a full simulation slurge rig setup is.
Your actions agree with me while you defend the principle that you don’t.
Consumism is a thing.
