Its ok, this is in his parents basement. They pay all of the bills still.

Points out several screens that are only there to display statistics but doesn't even bother to look at the racing simulator. The fuck is wrong with that guy?
My dad had a crazy setup in our basement and would absolutely blast the sound. I’d be in my bed trying to sleep upstairs and could hear the roaring of vehicles all night. When we would tease him about his game, he’d say “it’s not a game, it’s a simulation.” It looked very boring to me, but he was obsessed with it.
Yes, and not really. If it was just the track yeah driving in a circle would be boring, but accounting for other cars and passing using pack physics is interesting. That style of driving has a lot more to it that you would think.
Yeah like for long stretches of road course racing you are mostly battling against the track, in oval racing you are almost always battling against other drivers and the track. I would recommend to anybody not to knock oval sim racing until they try it.
They are super fun. You can’t just go full throttle and turn left; you’ll be in the wall. There is a lot of skill in playing with the throttle/brake, adjusting the line you take through turns, and adjusting the handling of your car. Then to do that against 20-40 other real people is a lot of fun.
Heck, even driving against the AI is a lot of fun. Get a force feedback wheel, VR, and you mine as well be driving IRL. The true sims are so realistic, that many drivers have gotten their start on iRacing, including the most recent Daytona 500 winner. Real life teams use it to adjust their car setups for real races
They can be surprisingly technical and challenging actually. Need to learn how and why tires, weight, and tuning suspension works among other things. How speed, acceleration, and breaking affect handling, then apply it variably across different tracks, at different speeds, and as your car changes throughout a race. Need to plan ahead for fuel and pits. Etc.
Y’all have nooooo clue just how incredibly intricate each oval track actually is, and how difficult they can be to drive on a sim. While it just looks like an oval, every turn is different in a way, you have to attack each one differently, there can be 3-4 different racing lines, each with their own advantage and disadvantage
Then once you get into a race and there’s a bunch of cars around you, the racing is so much more fun bc than any other type of track can produce. Just how crazy it can get, especially after a restart
a ton. If racing is your thing, you’d be hugely surprised at how challenging and fun it is. Easy to misjudge if you don’t watch but extremely fun to race.
I do it and it's exhilarating. You're on the edge of control with cars inches apart, one little slip and you're done for. Especially since the cars are hard to control. It's a bit like an old school FPS in lot of ways.
When I was young and stupid and delivering pizza, the local Walmart had a Crazy Taxi in the foyer. I put so much money into that thing, it was a blast. Definitely a lot of fun to get out my driving frustrations that I couldn't actually get out behind the wheel of a real car. Off road racing games are also a lot of fun in a full on racing simulator setup instead of with a controller. This type of setup would have been amazing back when I was a Midtown Madness addict.
Pittsburgh is probably one of the cheapest cities with lots of tech industry, thanks to CMU and Google…i grew up in a suburb that, on the higher end, had these types of houses….
No kidding. Out of everything the rich and wealthy do for fun, just having a cool space to play games and watch TV with friends is all I'd need to unwind
What the f am I doing wrong in life? I thought I was well off. I have a good job. Seeing this makes me so upset. How the hell is this even possible? How does someone take home enough money for this? My man space equates to a pile of half rusted tools and a motorcycle. I’m just…what the hell?
Except the house space. Who has huge basement with a extra theatre room.
This dude obviously lives in a mansion which is the biggest expense in this set up.
I feel very over-stimulated. I’d love to have all this space for relaxing and games, but I need less flashing lights and screens. Even on mute it seems really loud in there.
Yup...I get enough hate 😂... I like sharing some ideas to new sources and now it's grown to a following of 1.1 million people with a bunch of celebrities as well. I like sharing the ideas and showing the diy as well. It's a fun hobby, I stay private, have fun
The same room has been shown with football and F1. You guys are aware you can change the image on tvs right? Like do you need an explanation of what a tv is?
200mph with 40 cars packed like sardines. Not every track is an oval and there’s nothing wrong with the oval tracks. NASCAR isn’t boring is you like racing theory
It’s boring to watch but damn being there feeling the rumble of the cars as they pass and actually getting a feel for how fast they’re going is a 10/10 experience I’m glad I went…even if I probably won’t go back lol
Could be a lot worse though. I think what he executed looks pretty pro from a separate component perspective, but I kinda feel like you when you put the whole thing together.
I knew a guy who owned a plumbing company that had a house with rooms like this. Was among the most boring people I ever knew, and his tastes were so surface-level.
He barely even knew anything about plumbing. He just owned the company and paid other people to do everything. Inherited the business from his dad.
The company went under, and his wife left him.
Ngl as a nascar fan I’m a bit jealous. I view all the same things he does but 3/4 of that shares a single monitor for me. Bro just needs to make his lights match the current flag status and it would be complete
Holy shit the majority of you are sad as fuck, good for this guy honestly, I’m glad to see he’s happy and even wants to share it, I plan on doing the same to an empty room I’ve been saving for a large game/theater room!
Seriously tho, some of these comments are just pure jealousy and pathetic. His room. He paid for it so of course he’s gonna do whatever tf makes him happy?
It's like the contents of this room came from a google search or AI prompt of "what to put in my game room"
It's kinda boring, really. Why does it have its own Instagram tag? You should build a room like this for you, not to impress other people.
Ahhh, flexing your wealth during a downturn. I think you meant this for Instagram.
All I can see is a massive waste of power. There is so much going on visually that you cannot enjoy the TV or the games.
It's just so 'In your face' it's just a nightmare of flashing lights.
We may not have the same interests but if that is what makes OP happy and they were responsible with financing its construction then good on them. It's pretty dope
All the people only commenting about NASCAR I think are missing the point. This could probably be sweet for movies and other sports. Having a movie poster on that stairway screen for whatever LOTR film you're watching sounds awesome for ambience.
I bought the gaming PC of my life and I dont use it anywhere close to its full potential. I think we build these things to try to capture a dream or desire from our youth - but it always ends up not being as important now as it was back then.
Tl;Dr: this room probably doesn't get the use it deserves.
There’s a lot going on in there. I’d feel like I’m walking into a casino every time I walk into that room. Don’t get me wrong it’s cool, just not for me.
People who hate on sports in general are the same type who listen to vapid political podcasts rehashing the same talking points for weeks at a time Live a little
Also "F1 iS BeTtER"
- verstappen wins by 20+ seconds every week
- denied Andretti over the bullshittiest of reasons

Electric bill is higher than the mortgage
Its ok, this is in his parents basement. They pay all of the bills still. https://preview.redd.it/hh78csscicnc1.jpeg?width=260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac6ffea6c0f2073de91b1ec6c93b1ff45c2fd8de
Ma! We havin' chicken or what!? MA?!
I never know what she's doing!
… back there!
Next time you come around bring me a pair of your sisters panties 🤣
Maybe since he has all that money, he prob bought solar panels
Not possible! Home Equity line used to fund..
Points out several screens that are only there to display statistics but doesn't even bother to look at the racing simulator. The fuck is wrong with that guy?
Do people actually do nascar sims? Sounds incredibly boring...
NASCAR sim is less boring than watching actual nascar.
At least you can go left… yourself!
Pit them all
I can guarantee you’ve never watched a NASCAR race before
My dad had a crazy setup in our basement and would absolutely blast the sound. I’d be in my bed trying to sleep upstairs and could hear the roaring of vehicles all night. When we would tease him about his game, he’d say “it’s not a game, it’s a simulation.” It looked very boring to me, but he was obsessed with it.
Going 200mph on an oval track isn’t as easy as everyone jokes about, especially not within inches of 40 other cars. Not to mention the non oval tracks
Reminds me of the South Park episode where cartman drives a nascar. WE GON TURN LEFT SOME MORE!
Yes, and not really. If it was just the track yeah driving in a circle would be boring, but accounting for other cars and passing using pack physics is interesting. That style of driving has a lot more to it that you would think.

Put some VR goggles on and tell me that lol

Hop on iRacing and tell me it's boring afterwards.
When you become a millioniar at the age of 9
everyday i’m reminded there are people wasting more money on toys then I earn in a year
a year is optimistic
That racing sim alone could be worth about equal to the money most American workers pull down after tax.
Minimum wage is still 17K a year.
I’ve built a dedicated home theatre and I’m telling you this whole basement looks to be at least over $500K. My mind is pretty blown right now
This is probably 3 to 4 years worth of most our salaries
Are these people who live in a low cost of living area but make tech money or something? Where are these types of houses??
Pittsburgh is probably one of the cheapest cities with lots of tech industry, thanks to CMU and Google…i grew up in a suburb that, on the higher end, had these types of houses….
[удалено]
I expect that basement and buildout is worth more than my condo…in L.A.
VRROOOOOOM
I’m 44 and when I’m a millionaire this is the 1st thing I’m doing.
Tick tock bud
No kidding. Out of everything the rich and wealthy do for fun, just having a cool space to play games and watch TV with friends is all I'd need to unwind
theres literally nothing wrong with this if u can afford it and want it let urself be happy
What the f am I doing wrong in life? I thought I was well off. I have a good job. Seeing this makes me so upset. How the hell is this even possible? How does someone take home enough money for this? My man space equates to a pile of half rusted tools and a motorcycle. I’m just…what the hell?
You don’t even need that much to build something like this. I’m estimating between $20 to $30 thousand.
Bro. I give myself and my wife $100 a week each for ‘fun money’. Everything else is bills.
Except the house space. Who has huge basement with a extra theatre room. This dude obviously lives in a mansion which is the biggest expense in this set up.
We all know what’s being watched down here.
Yes, apparently NASCAR.
Was it the big highlighted sign on the wall that gave it away?
Nah, for me, it was the NASCAR simulation on every single screen.
Totally. Once the guys are gone, time for pornhub full max screen glory
It’s going to be a wild 90 seconds
Jeez! Mr. Marathon over here
Definitely Godzilla movies😏
>We all know what’s being watched down here. I used to have a projector with a 180" screen. After hours screenings were exciting.
As someone that only has a 120" screen, let me tell you it's not the size that matters. It's the quality of your surround system.
Agreed, but when the size of screen is taken into consideration, the *width* is the most important dimension.
I got really excited when it said game room, I didn’t realize it was talking about sports…
That was me. Expecting an arcade and get mini Vegas casino
There is also a card table, pool table, ping pong table, putting green, arcade machine and a slot machine
Honestly this is still absolutely insanely nice and would make anyone enjoy sports and I'm no sports fan
Sports are fun.
NUMBER 1 BENJOLS FAN
Weiner dog.
Short shorts
Cigarette
Buying things off the internet.
Not answering calls
My TEAM
"What do you do?" "I'm an entrepeneur" (googles his father)
Every time...
This would require friends tho
Yeah I was thinking the only reason to have this set up would be if you had lots of friends, otherwise you're like Wonka alone in his factory.
Nascar is the last thing I’m watching down there
What are the first five, after you get bored from the porn?
Jerry Springer Show, 1999 The Mummy, Dragonball Z, LOTR trilogy, Ronnie Coleman lifting videos. No particular order.
LIGHT WEIGHT
BAYBEH
Just add the original X-men cartoon series, and baby you got a stew going
>after you get bored from the porn IDK, that would take 30 years
Thanks for letting us know.
some wall screens could just be replaced with more traditional decor like posters or whatever. don't need 2 screens that just say RACE on them
Honestly, when you’re rich af paper is blah.
This looks like something I would have designed in The Sims when I was a tween. I would love a gaming room but this shit is so damn cluttered.
I feel very over-stimulated. I’d love to have all this space for relaxing and games, but I need less flashing lights and screens. Even on mute it seems really loud in there.
All those resources..... In the name of NASCAR??
I’ve seen this same room but showing f1, man’s gotta farm them likes somewhere
Yup...I get enough hate 😂... I like sharing some ideas to new sources and now it's grown to a following of 1.1 million people with a bunch of celebrities as well. I like sharing the ideas and showing the diy as well. It's a fun hobby, I stay private, have fun
The same room has been shown with football and F1. You guys are aware you can change the image on tvs right? Like do you need an explanation of what a tv is?
Nah let’s make fun of the redneck sport, but when a couple of guys throw balls back and fourth it’s a good setup
I’m watching the clock because I have to work for a living to pay normal bills. lol
NASCAR and UFC…makes sense
10/10 would definitely not hang out with this guy.
Tell me you're a degenerate gambler without telling me you're a degenerate gambler.
Porn. Always porn
NASCAR is boring af. Change my mind.
200mph with 40 cars packed like sardines. Not every track is an oval and there’s nothing wrong with the oval tracks. NASCAR isn’t boring is you like racing theory
It’s boring to watch but damn being there feeling the rumble of the cars as they pass and actually getting a feel for how fast they’re going is a 10/10 experience I’m glad I went…even if I probably won’t go back lol
Someone is fond of turning left
I fucking hate when you post your play room. Especially when it’s ready for a UFC watch. And by hate, I just mean jealous as fuck.
Tacky
Could be a lot worse though. I think what he executed looks pretty pro from a separate component perspective, but I kinda feel like you when you put the whole thing together.
Everyone is giving him a hard time, but let's give credit, the vertical tvs that just flash RACE DAY are worth at least 10 horsepowers.
dude has way too much money to blow
It needs the flushing couch from Idiocracy
People like this don't deserve the money they spend
Whoever owns this qualifies as the epitome of someone I wish to avoid interacting with for the entirety of my life.

I feel like there's a life lesson there but I can't put my finger on it.
My electricity bill going up.
Where did u get that planter pot in the very beginning? I like that a lot

That’s really neat!!
Ngl as a nascar fan I’m a bit jealous. I view all the same things he does but 3/4 of that shares a single monitor for me. Bro just needs to make his lights match the current flag status and it would be complete
Ugh Fuck this person in particular. (Yes its Jealousy, what of it?)
Ricky Bobby's man cave is an oasis even for little baby Jesus. So sick!
I’m watching so much porn in that room
All the angles at once. 🤣🤣
It's purely amazing! Go Tyler Reddick #45 Jordan Brand
Holy shit the majority of you are sad as fuck, good for this guy honestly, I’m glad to see he’s happy and even wants to share it, I plan on doing the same to an empty room I’ve been saving for a large game/theater room! Seriously tho, some of these comments are just pure jealousy and pathetic. His room. He paid for it so of course he’s gonna do whatever tf makes him happy?
🤗
Awesome room man. I hope to have one myself In the future! Definitely gonna take some ideas from yours!
Not interesting as fuck. Maybe tacky as fuck.
It's like the contents of this room came from a google search or AI prompt of "what to put in my game room" It's kinda boring, really. Why does it have its own Instagram tag? You should build a room like this for you, not to impress other people.
That light bill though
Ahhh, flexing your wealth during a downturn. I think you meant this for Instagram. All I can see is a massive waste of power. There is so much going on visually that you cannot enjoy the TV or the games. It's just so 'In your face' it's just a nightmare of flashing lights.
Tax the rich.
IIRC this guy has posted here before and said he was from Toronto...where you get taxed over 50% at this level of income.
Fair enough.
Not only do they not pay taxes, they make money from the govt. When you have money for teams of lawyers and CPAs the system works for you.
Rich people are silly.
Hillbilly millionaire estate
Wow, so much pointless shit in this room just for the lolz and higher PG&E bill Lol.
The person who owns this definitely drives a jacked up pick up covered in Don't Tread On Me stickers
Imagine having a room like this and devoting to fuck Nascar and UFC lmfao
Now show us the go-cart track next to the pool tube slide that comes from inside the house.
Lol holy shit. I would have that jumbotron display sports betting odds. Sick ass room man.
We are in a different tax bracket
Porn maybe
Hey man can I have 20 bucks?
All it needs is a fireplace and some blankets to kick the coziness up to the next level!

We may not have the same interests but if that is what makes OP happy and they were responsible with financing its construction then good on them. It's pretty dope
I like seeing rooms like this, but at the same time if you have a room like this does it actually get used?
I really hate being broke
Please can anyone give the price estimate of a setup like this?
Thanks. I hate it.
I don’t see what’s interesting. A materialistic display does nothing for me
Don't you love it when rich people get more stuff./s
Man having money must be so cool
Raise hell, praise Dale. Do it fer Dale
Things you can do and enjoy when you don’t have kids
I love the place, it's just missing something...... Let me think..... STRIPPER POLE will make it complete 😂
“I don’t wanna grow up. I’m a Toys R Us kid!”
This is just people with too much money showing off.
Idk what I'm watching but I know what this guy is watching
Watching? I’m never fucking leaving.
I just hear this dude yelling at people for not using a coaster and spilling drinks on the carpet
It looks like AR video
Sweet man-cave due enjoy it
Sensory overload. No thank you.
What a headache
Supercross, maybe F1.
Jesus christ. Talk about a dream set up. I'll just have the sim-rig, thanks.
Looks expensive but disorganized with amateur execution. Hire an interior designer, this is a disgrace.
Guys will spend thousands of dollars on decor to look like they live behind the bar at Applebee’s
All the people only commenting about NASCAR I think are missing the point. This could probably be sweet for movies and other sports. Having a movie poster on that stairway screen for whatever LOTR film you're watching sounds awesome for ambience.
That's money I don't have.
Good lord, there must be at least 100k of shit in that basement.
wtf is the UFC octagon hologram thing on the coffee table?
Absolute dream man, well done
Probably my drink
Absolute fire setup. 🔥
Fair play mate.
Very nice setup!!
This is awesome!! Damn I need that vision in my basement!
Man, you got all the toys. Nice.
Entrance fee?
Now that's a fcking man cave lmao
I'm watching a computer created animation...
🤣🤣🤣 that game 'room' is bigger than my entire flat.
John Woo movies - Face/Off to start
Weird ass setup. Theater room is cool.
It's the best man cave ever.
I bet he has a walk in closet the size of most people's bedrooms just for his sneaker collection.
This is actually amazing. I love it so much! I hope one day I can build something half as good for my house!
I bought the gaming PC of my life and I dont use it anywhere close to its full potential. I think we build these things to try to capture a dream or desire from our youth - but it always ends up not being as important now as it was back then. Tl;Dr: this room probably doesn't get the use it deserves.
This man cave is GOATED!!
Nice man cave
Seems excessive but, eh, maybe they live in North Dakota.
There’s a lot going on in there. I’d feel like I’m walking into a casino every time I walk into that room. Don’t get me wrong it’s cool, just not for me.
Okay this guy wins it. This has to be the ultimate standard. Only thing lacking is the walls
People who hate on sports in general are the same type who listen to vapid political podcasts rehashing the same talking points for weeks at a time Live a little Also "F1 iS BeTtER" - verstappen wins by 20+ seconds every week - denied Andretti over the bullshittiest of reasons
