This com is criminally underutilized. I'm Wake. I've been using this name for months on vrchat/elsewhere, and it felt appropriate to use it here.

I guess I've been here since the subreddit. I have a bunch of hobbies, most of which have been ADHD hyper fixations at some time. I like video games, movies, and I really like to listen to music. I especially enjoy finding new music.

I work in an industrial setting where I diagnose, and repair industrial machines and automatic systems. So I really like to figure things out. I've been taking things apart to see how they work since I was a little kid.

Most of the video games I play now are casual co-op games I can play with my friends like lethal company, valheim, phasmophobia. I also play a lot of driving and racing sims. But more than anything, the game I enjoy the most is vrchat.

I have a weekly vrchat adventure with one of my best friends. I guess you can say I'm an honorary furry at this point, since all my vrchat avatars are furry. I really enjoy editing and tweaking my avatar until it's exactly how I want it.

I changed accounts because about a week ago I realized I was much more trans than I thought I could ever be. That I'd been lying to, and hiding from myself for a decade. It's incredible how much transphobia you can absorb and internalize while also being gay and extremely lgbtq positive. So I wanted to make a new account to grow into. A nice delineation so to speak.

I guess at this point I'm just rambling so howdy, it's been so nice to have you all in my life. And wherever you are, know I love you and you're appreciated. meow-hug

    Yeah, I play iRacing the most, but also Assetto Corsa, especially the freeroam maps, and sometimes BeamNG. Played Dirt Rally 1 and 2 to death when they were released, so I got pretty bored of the stages that were in both games. EA Sports WRC seems interesting, but Steam reviews keep talking about the stuttering, so I'm waiting until they release another patch.

      I just went and looked; you're the user that recommended assetto to me a few weeks ago on my old account. meow-hug

      I'm waiting for wrc to get actual VR support before I get it. I bought it the day it came out, and got extremely disappointed that it didn't have VR support yet. It said it did in a lot of the advertising for it, so I was shocked to learn it wasn't set up yet. So I returned it and said I'd get it again once it was all sorted out.

      Do you use a wheel? If so, what do you use?

        Yeah, I figured that was probably you.

        I just use a budget Thrustmaster wheel and pedals, but might upgrade in the near future. A set of load cell pedals would already be an improvement.

          I've been using a g27 with H-shifter and pedals that I've had for like 6 years now. The shifter started to have problems with 5th gear about a month ago, so I got a no-name Amazon H-shifter. It works great.

          I just bought a moza R9 base earlier this week. I swapped my cheap 350mm wheel to it but I haven't had a lot of time yet to really try it out yet. I'll be putting it through the ringer later tonight though.
