An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Sim racing. There's an initial expense to buy the wheel and pedals, but it's a really fun hobby and if you find the right people a great community. I recommend starting with a Assetto Corsa which is an older game with an amazing mods. Avoid the temptation to get into iRacing until you're sure you like the hobby.
I had a co-worker who was super into sim racing. He had this insane setup in his living room with a chair, pedals and so on. What wheels and pedals do you recommend to get started? 🤔
Most people start out with a Logitech wheel and pedal set. The G923 is a great option for buying new, but you can also find the G29 or G27 for cheap used.
Once you have the wheel and pedals, there's tons of games you can use them with. I also love American Truck Simulator and Dirt Rally 2. There's lots of people streaming those games as well as Assetto Corsa so you can see on Twitch or YouTube what they're about. Also, if you go on Steam and type in sim racing you'll find tons more games, but these three titles are more than enough to get you started. I have hundreds of hours just in these three games.
