That's rad, but likely expensive.

Would love to give something like Elite Dangerous a go with that thing.

People can poke fun, but ultimately this dude has the right idea and is celebrating his passion to create something unique and immersive.

As long as he doesn't have a shelf of waifu anime figurines on the other side of that camera - I am in full approval of this man's life decisions.

This guy is clearly single. My wife would murder me if I spent the kinda money he is on a setup like that.
 
Not gonna lie.

My first thought was "does he use this station to watch porn?"

Because IDK about you guys, but I definitely stay clear of that on my gaming PC rig.

But the way he talks about his rig makes me think he definitely though of the masturbation comfort factor lmao.

Man's even got gloves onto work the sticks as he plays - immersion factor +500 😂

This is awesome. A piece of really solid work. I remember when as a kid i tried to recreate (poorly) the Nissan GTR R32 cockpit using wooden and cardboard plates and a 21 inch CRT TV as a screen :messenger_grinning_sweat:
I even had a set of broken counters, probably from VW Golf I, if I remember correctly.
I played Gran Turismo 2 on ps1 with the old Thrustmaster steering wheel.

All this was wobbly, every now and then falling apart and leaving splinters on the carpet, but for a short time I had my own "automotive" sanctuary.

Huge respect for this guy for realizing his passions.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Nothing too unusual for simmers, definitely grade a work with all the different equipment he can swivel back and forth for different types of games.

Still, thanks to VR, these days you can achieve even more immersion with just a seat and joysticks/whatever rather than building the whole cockpit.

I love how interactive the cockpits in VTOL VR are, I saw recently they're working similar inputs in games like DCS and X-Plane, but not so great, yet.

Damn! That's really impressive. The exact thing you'd want PC for. The customisability is just insane if you have the time and a bit of money, and I say a bit because when you put the hobby into context and look at other ones (cars, figurines, etc) it's actually cheap.
 
Pfft. Amateur.

Just gonna say, for some people this would be the ideal setup. My older brother has his gaming shit in his living room and never gets to play because his wife lives on the TV. He tried to make a small gaming space in another room and that's when she decided the treadmill goes in that room now. I bet he'd kill for a towel on a concrete floor and a 13" TV if it meant he could just play a fucking game in peace.

He could always lose the wife.

The beauty of PC is that it's an insanely versatile platform. What this guy chose to do with his set up is wild, others have their rig set up for gaming and music production, others focus on gaming and home theater stuff. The possibiities may literally be endless. Best platform, hands down.
 
God, I hate PC and it's expensive setup costs.

My friend is seeing a therapist now after spending over $3000 on his AMD Radeon 570X powered PC Rig.

I would not give them that much credit.
Don't think you're really getting it to any greater degree than others that do take the glorious PCMR shtick seriously.

Yeah nobody mentions how expensive the therapy is for the aftermath. If only a single person had told your friend it was a bad deal. Real shame. :messenger_winking:

Or he is in a healthy relationship and doesn't let his wife dictate what he can spend his paycheck on. But yeah, let's go with he's "clearly single".
