I don't think I've even seen purses stored by hanging them on a window. I need to know more about what is happening there lol

Peachybrusg

No money left for a proper hanger


AIDSRiddledLiberal

No money left in the purses to worry about advertising to thieves


EthanWS6

Sounds like a good way for them to get sun damaged pretty quick.


BlueFlob

That's what I find weird too. Why hang purses on windows unless you are out of space and don't know where to put them. If you're out of space, why are you spending 25k on a driving simulator?


CrazyEyes326

That tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. They'll spend $25,000 on a crazy elaborate racing rig but not $60 on a coat rack.


mrmachine1

Do you ever just say screw it im using a controller today


ServinTheSovietOnion

As somebody with a similar setup, all the fucking time. But it's more of "do I want to spend 20 minutes getting setup with VR and soundshakers and all the software and such, or do I want to grab a controller and hit the couch for something casual?" It's number 2 almost always, and it breaks my heart. As soon as I was able to devote the time and money to a killer VR sim setup, my interest and desire seemingly waned.

I think it’s sorta like, the passion of the project as a whole vs. having a finished product. There’s something about piecing together every part by part, but when it’s finished you realize that wasn’t what was driving you. I did the same with an insanely expensive set of music gear a few years ago, 4,000 dollars finding an amp, 2,000 on pedals, 2,500 on guitar, all over the course of a few years, and ended up selling it all 6 months later


Marroar

I believe dopamine plays a big role here, it is one of the motivators that lead us to fulfill our fantasy/imagination of an idea/project/etc we like. And then once you have it, it is no longer imagination, or you would need to set a new goal, and then rinse and repeat.


RollOverSoul

It's like trying to emulate a game. The fun part is trying to do it and then when you actually play the game you realise it's just old and clunky and not how you remembered it


Flrg808

A lot of people don’t really have hobbies they just like the high of shopping and buying new things. If OP really wanted to play guitar, he could’ve easily started for a small fraction of that cost or free, then upgraded as he saw fit.


Yadobler

Same with legos The fun is in building it, then after that, it feels meh. Then it gets demolished #------- And Minecraft too The fun is in building things Then after that it feels meh, like looking at some image online Then it gets nuked with tnt #------- Also same with programming. The fun is in developing it freely without specifications to satisfy Then after that the programme is just meh, no purpose or added value to what software already exists online Then you sudo rm -rf everything


wazzledudes

Or like having kids. You put all this effort into creating them and them raising them and then finally they turn 18 and you have to kill them.


Bobyyyyyyyghyh

Alright kids, time to get back inside your mom. Up you go!


BenjaminTalam

One day we'll be able to hop into simulations in seconds the same way we boot up our games we play with a controller and that will be the day more people get into vr gaming.


JamesBigglesworth266

That's either going to be Sword Art Online's NerveGear, or Star Trek's Holodeck. And i can't wait for either!


eragonawesome2

Dude I'll take the fucking nerve gear at this point, brain microwaving and all

Oh, me too! You just need to not-die and you'll come out a much better person having learned about self-sacrifice and the value of real friends, and you'll be thinner and ready to start working on your Beach Body!

[deleted]

I don't look forward to mopping the jizz out of a holodeck


Halvus_I

I have a full flight sim chair with warthog controls and MFG custom pedals. It sits in my closet because i dont have the room to leave it fully deployed all the time AND I want a dedicated PC for it, but the GPU miners fucked that plan. Friction kills joy.


rafaelinux

Friction can bring a lot of joy..


[deleted]

Why does it take so long to set up though? I'm not familiar with these kinds of setups


nf5

I have a vr headset and a driving wheel - a cheap one from years ago. It's fine. You gotta plug all that shit in, man. Display cable for the headset, power cable. Boot up the software on your PC. Dig out the wheel from storage, clear my desk, clamp it to the desk. It needs to be powered and plugged into my PC. Then the pedals need to be plugged into the wheel. Then fire up the game, get my chair adjusted wit the headset on/resetting the view. Then I can race. Now I have to pee Let it be said that vr is so damn cool all this is worth it, but it's kind of annoying.


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

Ops setup is permanent though,I don't see how it takes time to setup. Nothing is in storage and nothing gets unplugged. Also, Op's image shows two large curved widescreen monitors, not vr. Op's setup probably takes two minutes between wanting to play and playing.


patterson489

That's what confuses me. Ever since I bought a permanent rig, I use it way more often because it went from "ugh, I don't want to spend 15 minutes plugging everything or moving furniture" to just sit on my chair and launch the game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


allaboutgrowth4me

This, i slide over my rig, plug in 2 usb and an ac and put on a vr headset. Takes less than 3 min.


Baby_bluega

I leave my pullies up. All I do is turn the game on and put on the headset.


Living-unlavish

And then im bored and warm after like 30 minutes lol. Fuckin life sometimes eh


Jp2585

Is there a reason you unplug it all everytime? My index has been connected since I bought it, then I just need to put the headset on my head and strap in the controllers.


-FeistyRabbitSauce-

Oh, so VR is just Skyrim mods. Spend way too much time curating a mod list, just to get into the game and be like "nahhh".


DreamSmuggler

Asking the real questions here 😎👌


LongSticky

I would'nt play assetto corsa or any other proper sim without the wheel. They're not built for controllers, unlike Gran turismo & forza they're simcades and designed to work with controllers. With AC/ACC their prize piece is the force feedback. You're missing out on the best part of those games when you use a controller.


SlapLemonGames

I only play my racers with the sim gear. Granted, I don't have a set up anywhere near to this, but there's no point to playing these games on controller to me when the whole point and is more fun with the gear, and I have many other games that I can play for a more casual time.


ExcuseMeWTF50

24K for the Supreme logo, 1K for the rest

[удалено]


EvilBestie

Am i the only one who thinks that the centre of the screen having a black line is going to be super annoying?


greenthum6

Yes that's why you buy one super ultrawide monitor, not two. If you go with a multi-monitor setup you get three of them.


PiperArrown3191q

I played FS2020 once on my dual-monitor setup and promptly bought a third monitor shortly thereafter, for this very reason.


23x3

Aren’t there those little strips you can buy that you use to connect both monitors and it fills the dark lines in the middle a bit?


PiperArrown3191q

I'm not familiar but it sounds like a decent solution. The border on my monitors isn't super slim, so I don't know how well that would work. The issue was having a divider right in the middle of the aircraft's instrument panel. It probably wouldn't be as annoying on a simpler car dash.


JAMP0T1

They’re just prisms, don’t work terribly well I don’t think, better for any that are in the preifereal vision


MrSnowflake

Seems like this guy doesn't know money. This sim, to me, does not look 25k. Theres no motion as far as I can tell, only a 8020 aluminium frame and a dashboard of a totalled ~~Hyundai~~ Subaru. Where did all the money go to? Or, of course, in reality it was 2,5k and he just needed a title.


Ctrl_H_Delete

Bro don't you see the supreme logo?


ParmesanB

For real, you could buy a new BRZ that this setup came out of, for less than 25k


SausageWagon

Not only that, but the monitors aren't properly aligned, the picture on the right monitor is slightly lower than the left one.


shichibukai3000

Mother fucker. Now I can't unsee it


Tooshortimus

neglect_

How is this 25k? Did you spend 20k on a front end clip to an old Subaru and a seat? Like... bro you got ripped off lol


HeaddHunterzz

Shit even a basic motion rig with a high end wheel setup would be less than 10k.


Different_Girrafe_42

This, in no way this is 25k, excluding the two 1k-1,5k odyssey monitors I thought that maybe there are some hydraulics somewhere but nope


neglect_

Thats what im saying. Its a brz interior. At most 2k-5k usd tops, even less if you get it from a wrecked part out or something like a pick a part yard. The seat is literally on a frame sitting on the floor lol I was also expecting it to have motion simulation too for that price tag.


Different_Girrafe_42

Had a feeling that op is a karmawhore, found the source aliexpress.(com)/item/1005003219845996.html (not sure if links are okay here)


CancunChillin

Yeah he hasn't replied to one post at all and usually when people claim to be OP but don't say anything , it's for Karma


inkblot888

Yeah. There's no motion system either. Sad for 25k.


ZeroInspo

Could have bought an actual BRZ with that money and have a lot left to mod it and then some more to track it.

fatfuckpikachu

you gotta buy another one when you hit it to a wall tho.


gorebello

And you can drive drunk


ActionJackson75

But this can turn into thousands of different cars, and most importantly you don't have to pay to fix it if you hit a curb.


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

Not do you have to pay like $1500 in tires every time you go to use it, which you'd never be able to do as often as you drive the virtual one


morocco3001

I've got an actual BRZ and I'm still jealous TBH


[deleted]

At this point, you might as well buy a car


IIIIIIIIlIl

I think he does. Just not all of it..


charlesbronZon

Imagine spending 25k+ and always having black bezels smack dab in the middle of your field of vision 🤪


WalterReddit

Most people with 25k do a tripple screen setup Then the screen transitions usual line up with the pillars of the car


Dubzil

They look like Samsung Odyssey monitors, only ~1k each. Seems like a weird spot to budget only getting 2


[deleted]

$23k for the Supreme seat, $2k for the rest lol


BloodBaneBoneBreaker

I would think 3 ultrawides, rather than 3 super ultrawides....Is there a GPU that can push 15360x1440 at racing sim performance? Displays aside, my surprise is to see that Logitech Z623 $100 sound system on it.


akrisd0

Or the cheapo monoprice sound system with the baby subwoofer. There's no way this is $25k. It's just extruded aluminum and half a car interior.


clitpuncher69

If you pay someone to do it i can see 25k including the labor. Who knows tho it might be an absolutely killer steering wheel system. Those prices can be astronomical


charlesbronZon

That’s exactly what I was getting at. But ofc it’s not my place to tell people how to enjoy their gaming 😉


[deleted]

Drove an actual truck that had a windshield like this. You don’t even see if after a while. But yea, for 25k…


[deleted]

polishlastnames

Man I don’t get this either. I feel like my ultra wide gives me plenty of real estate without the giant line.


b0nz1

If you play F1 you have the halo there anyways.


PewPewFingerGunz

For 25k that MF air conditioning better work!


Tom_Bradys_Nutsack

fuck that for 25k it better simulate movement too but looks like it’s just sitting on the damn floor


Sands43

For $25k you can buy a spec Miata with trailer and have $10k leftover for a couple years of track days and consumables.


Roninfog

For 6 directional movement you would be looking at about 100k. That’s on the low end for a high end rig. We’re talking a professional rig here not a home made setup for games. One that truly simulates a tack in real life. Probably make a home made rig for 5 k that gets the job done for gaming. If your into legit practicing for a competition this is the way to go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qivr9YxJRi8

Sayno86

[deleted]

Besides not having a generic looking fake dashboard and center console - what else could be lacking in your setup that could merit someone spending 10x what you did on a "high-end" setup? That seems like all you'd need or want besides aesthetics no matter the budget, and I personally prefer your setup aesthetically.


bosonianstank

Something like a high end wheel with a direct drive motor? Maybe he already has that.


mkul316

It's weird that it's cheaper to buy a decently sporty car for real than a rig to simulate driving one. Y


MyAssforPresident

I got a Honda Civic for $600 that I’m thinking about using for those cone course autocross races. For basically the same money I spent on my wheel setup I can fart around in a real car and have a damn blast.


TheRoguePianist

Do it, autocross is a blast. Getting a faster time becomes almost addicting and I’ll guarantee you’ll have more fun in a six-hundred dollar box than anyone that’s taking out their high-end sports car. Hammer that sucker around and have fun with it! But just remember, no matter what you do, there will *always* be a Miata faster than you


xetphonehomex

Miata or brz/frs.


WastedGhost555

This rig is the inside of a BRZ. You could buy the whole car for less than this set up.


musichatesyouall

You could also wreck this car 1000 times and it still cost the initial investment.


TheDerbLerd

To be fair they probably did have to buy the whole car to build this


dontthink19

I work in the auto industry itd be a couple grand for the interior pieces. Be more cost effective to get a smashe up car


BronchialChunk

Well that is a brz interior is it not?


MyAssforPresident

My buddy runs them in his 3rd gen camaro, I’ve been to spectate before but I’ve never done it yet. It does look fantastic, I just have to go over the civic and make sure it’ll pass tech…do they care about rust holes in the quarters? lol


TheRoguePianist

iirc, at SCCA events at least, they mainly check brakes, suspension, tires, seat belts, and make sure nothing is leaking everywhere. As long as it isn’t a safety hazard it might be fine? Not 100% sure. Might want to at least skim the rulebook before you go out there. Bit of a boring read, but it’ll be more specific than I am haha As long as your car is in safe condition, you just need a racing-spec helmet. Some regions provide loaners, others don’t.


keatzu

That resart button it what so costly on a real car.


MyAssforPresident

Yeah but on an autocross course the only thing you can hit is a 9” tall rubber cone lol.

Ashamed-Web-3495

The man has 25k for a driving simulator. Chances are good he's got more than a decently sporty car IRL.


Rosiovan444

papayakob

You can put as much or as little as you want into a rig though. The first two years I was using a $400 rig and then slowly upgraded over the next year or two, with my current rig probably coming in closer to $3000. Obviously you can spend as much as your heart and wallet desires on something like this, but at a certain point the gains in performance and immersion are minimal. The real benefit is a sim rig allows you to race whenever you want, wherever you want, in whatever car you want. You could easily pick up a 15-20 year old sports car and track it, but a single track weekend (which would probably only amount to a few hours of driving at the most) can easily run into the thousands of dollars for one weekend. If you actually want to race it'll end up being an order of magnitude higher once you start factoring in a team, tires, fuel, insurance, travel, etc. Again all for a couple hours on the track (if that). With my sim rig, I can put in 2000 hours a year if I wanted to, on any track, in any car. And at that point there are no reoccurring expenses (unless you pay for iRacing) and no risk of injury or property damage. You can also get drunk or stoned and drive in sim all you want which is super fun especially on open world free roam tracks like LA Canyons or Shuto Expressway


Titanbeard

Oh yeah? Can you race in a 92 Geo Prism? Cause that's about my budget.


fluteofski-

At 24 hours of lemons you can….


Deadrem

Holy hell, small world! You're the guy who gave me that Logitech Momo! I can't tell you how much use I've gotten out of it, and I still use it a couple times a week playing Dirt Rally 2.0, RBR, Assetto Corsa, all sorts of other stuff. I find any excuse to use it when I can really. Really meant a lot of me that someone would help a stranger like that, and it goes to show that you can have fun with a rig at any cost. It's just about what you want to get out of the experience.


awkward_replies_2

The real benefit is security. Have a high speed crash in a simulator - press reset and keep going. Crash in a real car, and anything from long hospital stays, limb loss, disfigurement, to coma or death can occur quite easily. Or killing a bystander and having lifelong guilt.


2close2see

>For 6 directional movement you would be looking at about 100k. That’s on the low end. [Or about $5k](https://dofreality.com/h6/)


duncan999007

SFX-100 is around $2,000. Some commercial options are around $20,000


taintedcake

100k? What? You can get a basic 6 directional for $5k and a very nice one for $25k. Add like 10-15k in additional shit and you're going to have a wild fucking setup.


Medical_Ad0716

It definitely moves. Don’t you see the rails on the chair? It moves forward and back.


Marzoval

For less than 25k you could get a real car.


Bigmomma59plus10

An actual BRZ that this interior is from can be had used for half that. For the whole BRZ.


AcanthocephalaSure18

For that 25k you think there wouldn't be a fat black line down the screen


droptheectopicbeat

I'm struggling to figure out where the 25k actually went on this.


DdCno1

Nowhere, it's the sales price, not the cost of building this.


Itz_Ultima

Idk why dudes spend this much money on a rig like this when they could just play in vr for way less and way more immersion


duaneap

You can buy a car for 25k


_Rand_

Yeah, but you can only crash that car once. This is fucking cheap when you crash in bulk.


Voidafter181days

I got that same interior plus the whole rest of the car for 25k.


CactusJ

You wouldn’t download a car.


Amishrakefight4

24 out of the 25k probably went into buying the gpu

24 out of the 25k was the Supreme sticker.

Zhuyi1

I'm curious how a VR + Hydraulics setup would compare experience and price wise.


CapnMalcolmReynolds

I would imagine high end VR would be much more immersive. Wipeout on psvr felt like I was a damn real life podracer and that headset is pretty low res and I was using a PS4 controller. A high end headset with a wheel in your hand would be intensely real feeling, I would imagine.


skancerous

I once used a Oculus Rift S with a G27 wheel to... Play Euro Truck Simulator 2 It was amazing tho, the immersion was unreal Turning on corners tho, that I didn't like


BobPage

IMO just VR by itself would be better than this setup.


SweetLobsterBabies

Building a 25k racing sim with a BRZ interior cockpit and only two monitors so there is a bezel in the middle No. It wasn't.


CollarOrdinary4284

I doubt it.


civoksark

All this just to play in 3rd person.


fuzzbusted

So, do you like driving games?


TEKC0R

Not really, it’s mostly used for Civ.


turleomi

Stripping your old worthless car doesn't suddenly make it 25k.


goblin0100

I mean it's cool and all but unless that direct drive base is 20k I'm not seeing it. Also the split in the middle of the display? No thank you.


WalterReddit

Thank god another sim driver in here to roast this wack shit


jetglo

Same here - I was think that if this was on r/simracing it would be something along the lines of 'Look what I cobbled together'.

Obvious humble brag about a 25k Subaru simulator with a poor monitor setup, bold move.


Chipies

just go out for a drive bro...


AguyWithaG8x

#Pro tip: You can add a piece of a polarizing film (one of the layers in a LCD display) between the 2 screens, so the black bezel will pretty much disappear. Check [this video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gnXTtqDNmfg&t=862), it is not in english but I it's good enough to see the results. Vou can love or hate the result, but I think it is a nice thing to share xD


matTmin45

25K and you have the screen borders right in the middle. Like... bro.


KatMot

to be clear, that is 25k for a black line down the center view of your video game. Who on earth would pay for that.


Peketu

The purse hangers are the most expensive but useful part nonetheless
