What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?

Sim racing.

It’s difficult to talk about it without people dismissing it as just a video game with a steering wheel.

I enjoy sim racing but have a pretty ass setup for it.

Even more niche, i dont really like circuit racing like that. I enioy production cars on streets. Something relatable. So any racing i do is rally or touge racing in assetto corsa.

Really love it but i do wish i had a nice setup. G29 just dont cut it with the gear system tbh

It would be so fun if someone actually released a “cruise the streets” game like those AC mods. But modern, well supported, VR, with large servers.

AC is OK, but it’s getting more and more dated and it’s not super accessible.

I honestly thought thats where we were going after msfs2020. Flight sim was made by asobo, who made the crew. They were kind of going for the huge map thing and i was hoping they would use the msfs2020 tech to build a worldwide network of roads. Just with uhhh much inproved physics from the crew hopefully lol.

AC2 is in the works though and hopefully thats cool. Its the best sim by far imo and im really looking forward to a new one.

There was someone earlier in the post that said the same (and the other replies).

Those people are just jealous of your setup, probably
