    racing sims

    oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses

    Sim racing is one of the most expensive video game related hobbies out there.

    Ask me how I know.🤣 Jokes aside though, if you’re not competing in iRacing and you’re happy with a decent but entry-level/intermediate wheel its not so bad. It’s not hard to blow 10k real fast if you want to though!











  • I still have my library of tracks from the mid 2000s on a drive in my PC. Hell, I still have my iPod Classic.

    That said, I spend 99% of my time streaming music.

    That said², I never ever engage with playlists. They only serve to poison the well that is my algorithm. I have a tightly curated Youtube video algorithm and, even though Youtube Music’s algorithm is dogshit compared to Spotify, I still protect it at all costs.

    You can still be an active listener on streaming services.

    I’m currently three quarters of the way through Decapitated’s Organic Hallucinosis record while I clean the house. For the last month straight I’ve been mainlining Steven Wilson’s solo records as well as Porcupine Tree records. Music is not dead for the active listeners in the world. The focus should be on encouraging kids to appreciate a good album every once in a while.
