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

    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.
