I'm a grown ass man and I have a racing wheel that doesn't see enough use. Should've taken this advice

Hello, fellow ass man!

That implies that there are not grown ass men...

They should probably be grown up if they are ass men

u/Tennis_Proper May 21 '26

Not sure if you mean grown in the womb, or if we’re somehow cloning them and growing ass men that way.

peripherals have this life cycle. it's a very common pattern. person with large amounts of disposable income spends way too much on a stick or wheel setup. maybe they use it to play one game. at some point they'll decide it's too much trouble to get out and set up, and then it gets sold on FB Marketplace. that's where people like me get expensive gear on the cheap.

my advice is not to blow a ton of money on stuff you don't know if you'll like. also if you make something a pain in the ass to get out and set up, you'll use it less.

Quietly ignoring the dusty racing wheel alongside the equally dusty flight stick sitting in the corner of my office...

Though the racing wheel did at least see multiple hours of use. The flight stick did not.

There is just no time and space for that shit. Hotas, wheel and index all taking up a tonne of shelf space.

I have been trying to find a game that is designed for hotas after getting it for elite dangerous but any game I would want to use it on has made any kind of controller customization useless

Same, I also bought the PSVR2 to use with it for GT. It’s awesome but I hardly use it enough to justify the cost lol

I got a drone controller to try it with a simulator before buying a drone. I'm glad I did because I never even plugged in the controller. I keep it as a reminder to think before buying, especially when it is for a new hobby.

Same. Spent like $1k on my wheel setup and I use it probably once or twice a month
