It’s pretty much saying “I like to sit in my chair and pretend to be a racecar driver.”
Would it be better if they’re into rally or F1?
And would it be worse if it was a VR headset or multiple screens?

Trick question. I would only date someone who had a rig like that for Trucksim games.
the worst thing in this picture is the funko pops or whatever
if he has a HOTAS attachment i’m getting on my knees and begging him to install Microsoft Flight Sim and/or War Thunder and let me go hog wild after I suck his hog
I never hear anything about race car gamers shouting the nword so these kinds of people probably have a better culture than the fps gamers.
observations from racing game communities:
a lot of them are libertarian, but their only politics is that less regulations should be on cars.
not a lot of women
racial diversity
lots on the spectrumI’d describe them as like fifa or sport games fans, its rare to find a racing game with a chat system let alone a voice chat system, so they can’t really others slurs except through player and car customisation. The biggest difference between them and fps gamers is what brings them into the game, fps players are rarely there for the guns or tactics they’re there to kill virtual guys, racing players are there for the cars and 90% of the time they’re playing against bots or beating personal record times.

There was a recent scandal where a well known player competing in a trackmania tower map challenge was outed as a weirdo 4chan nazi who made/shared weird racist 4chan memes and said slurs, and was summarily kicked out of the competition.
Just from casually watching trackmania stuff, it seems like its big enthusiast community is mostly chill and collaborative, with even the top level of comp players being like a few dozen people who all know each other, constantly play silly no-stakes challenges together, and even if they can get salty about losing don’t really get that aggressive malding edge towards their opponents that some other scenes get.
my interpretation of the above (no outside info): basically they found out he was also on 4-chan. presumably he kept a lid on the 4chan vibe because he knew it would not be tolerated. Eventually, his opsec failed and he was cancelled on the basis of also doing 4 chan stuff.
never heard of this game subculture before but apparently it has higher standards of behavior than most western governments.
It was screenshots of him saying shit and posting racist 4chan memes on a discord server that someone dug up and spread around, leading to him getting condemned by basically everyone else involved in the competition and the bulk of the community watching it.
I don’t think you’re using a sim rig to play trackmania, lol
Yeah I think they cap out at using wheels, and even that’s seen as eccentric compared to using a keyboard or controller.
Not eccentric, it’s just worse. You need to do extremely quick 100% turns from left to right or the other way around, going left to right many times over in like seconds. A wheel just physically takes longer to go from full 100% on one side to the other than KB or controller.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Does he have the pedal controller for the accelerator and brake? Or just the steering wheel? If it is just the wheel he’s a poser and it is a pretty big red flag.
The funko pops are the biggest red flag here tbh.
Full setup. Accelerator/brake/Clutch, H-pattern gearstick and dedicated handbrake. Also, it’s one of those force feedback steering wheels
Then it should be fine. I stand by what I said about the funko pops though.
I ask him when he wants to marry me.
Yeah I’m out. My first bf was a
before it was even a thing. We broke up in large part because he spent more time with his shitty pc than me or anyone else.I once told him when we were fighting for this very thing that I’ll throw the pc out the window. That’s when he turned violent.
Just to echo others the only real red flag here is the funko pops.
I am embarrassed to even ask but what funko pops are they exactly?
Looks like the Justice League
They look like Lego BrickHeadz imo.
I didn’t even notice them when i pulled this image off the internet but realistically they’re a package deal with most if these sorts of people
This is me. My partner doesn’t mind too much. In fact, I’m getting married tomorrow.
Congratulations!!!
I wish you’d at least pause the game to say your vows
Vows filled with racing puns
Congrats!!
Can you imagine being a person who has a problem with this? You should move to the desert because you’d probably get along better with a flock of vultures.
What’s the bed like though?
Bare mattress on the floor, no sheets. Duvet with no cover and a single yellow stained pillow?
Yeah,it would probably be a mattress on floor type situation. But they’re not going to be the holes in the boxers, Grindr top hookup type either
Racecar bed, obviously.
That’s too obvious though
Would it be better if they’re into rally or F1?
Rally.
You have made the correct choice
All cool, my bestie had one of these and he just liked to cruise around scenic places in games and vibe to music
Hooking this bad boy up to excel and doing my taxes.
I wonder if the wheel could be used to scroll sideways
It can
I wonder if a pivot operation can be used by pulling off a handbrake skid
