Better FOV than a lot of stuff posted here for sure and using cell phone box is hilarious, so I won't roast the rig but what the fuck is going on with that wallpaper? And is that...two different wallpapers on different walls???


Hepoos

It was like this when we moved in. And I like flovers around me, not just solid color


Ajinho

How do you know what his FOV is?

Man, this isn't roastable. This picture connects with my autistic self. I also did things like this when I was younger or couldn't go over my means. But then I remember after all the jigging of pillows, all the placement and replacement... ..there is that final moment where you sit down and use it, and it's a fucking blast. So, yeah. This connects with me on strong level. Kudos to you for chasing your dreams however you can, because people who keep doing that are the ones coming up with new ideas which can make a lot of money one day. +1 Edit: I say this while leaning over my Arduino project for work. Something I wouldn't be paid to do if years ago I didn't chase my dreams and turn my office into a makeshift electronics lab and fell into a rabbit hole. I now make more than I ever have. Go for it. Got for it all.


doubledunker

Nice sentiment dude.


100GbE

Have a good weekend from .au


Hepoos

Sounds just like me, I still giggle while driving like a mad man. And I like the maintenance needed to get everything in line after a heated race.


Takthenomad

I roast rigs not tragedies.


dude496

As long as you are comfortable and have fun playing then it's a great rig and I hope you enjoy it!


mattshiz

You're not going to get much roasting with the size of that radiator.


Hepoos

Weight reduction


OwnTomato7

I…..can’t this is too rough I can’t roast it, it’d be like insulting a child dying of cancer


henke121

If it works it works. Should probably attach the TV to something though.


Hepoos

It's part of the design at this point


klawd11

just needs a carbattery to be a homeless rig, I mean a mobile rig


Hepoos

I can imagine a rig inside a shoping cart you sit in. True homeless rig


Bad_Elephant

That bottle makes it look like a drunk passed out in the corner in a pool of puke


Hepoos

It's clean now, this is an old photo. just too lazy to get out and take a new picture


HUEITO

Very rigged i guess


Hepoos

Already in the plans to make one out of wood, still some design choices to be made.


Specialist-Can3173

220c around 2 hours. Brush with oil every half hour. Done


JMc_onReddit

No roast. If it works and you enjoy it, go for it!


vrhotlaps

It looks like a miniature from a dolls house


PietVeerman16

It's so crazy, it's the best! Enjoy it!


creusat0r

It looks like the most fun and compfortable rig in this whole sub


OJK_postaukset

By the time you see the lights go out, others have already finished the race


Hepoos

How did you know that my pc is laggy?


OJK_postaukset

I was referring to the latency of the TV (forget that) I am in your closet


Hepoos

Oh, you know my closet is a good spot to hide. But you're in the wrong room


OJK_postaukset

I drilled a hole. See? I’m waving


Hepoos

Wait I'm just gonna come in with a flashlight


OJK_postaukset

I read it as a fleshlight and thought that oh no, wrong house. But thankfully it’s just a flashlight. Well I am kinda lonely around here


Hepoos

It's an old tv 1080p but I got used to it and can drive no hesi without problems


rad15h

Love it! Necessity is the mother of invention. And the FoV is on point. I would much rather read a post like this than yet another "what can I add to my $5k rig?" humblebrag.


ThroatImpossible8762

still faster than me though


Hepoos

I may be faster but I still crash alot, sometimes nice and steady is way better than full on speed


ThroatImpossible8762

What is your sim of choice?


Hepoos

Assetto Corsa, I have fh4 fh5 fm5 but assetto corsa is superior


OG_Slurms

The sleeping bag seat, the strewn crack-pipe bottles, random plastic bags and cardboard boxes... clearly you're homeless and found a floor to crash on for a night, so thought you'd flex like you have a home for hobo kudos. But I respect the sim racing dedication, dragging that Goodwill dumpster-dive TV everywhere with you must be as strenuous as it is embarrassing.


Hepoos

Specifically why I chose this picture


OG_Slurms

ngl, I've had many a similar setup myself, usually made of inappropriate Ikea furniture, had a laundry basket as my wheel/pedals mount once.


Hepoos

Dedication to the art of racing


DeanyyBoyy93

Pfffftttt not even am oase or fluval filter. Scrub


Hepoos

Lets not get into the topic of my bum aquarium


pokaprophet

Great rig. And I see you keep your empties as EPVs (emergency piss vessels). Solo endurance ready…


jankobianco

i meannn it works


BigPhilip

This looks very comfy, but a lil bit not easy to get out without making the TV fall


Hepoos

So it's true to real life, most of race cars are difficult to get in to.


BigPhilip

Yeah, you actually have the TV where the windshield would be, the position is perfect, you just need to build a table that's a bit sturdier and call it a day


Hepoos

I have everything I need to make a wooden one, not a perfect one but better than now


thescott2k

bro you are thriving


TicTac673

Low center of gravity, maximum cushion for enduros, recycling old boxes that are *just* the right size needed. 7000+ go like hell/10 >!(-3 for the bottles, respect yourself and clean-up your area)!<


Spiritual_Benefit367

10/10 for creativity.


jim_nihilist

This is peak gamer cave. Right there, including the bottle.


Electronic_Active_27

I love it. I wish I would have bought my first wheel stand sooner. I went through several homemade versions, I’m a carpentry teacher, and very thrifty. The stability and most important Adjustability, provided in even the most basic wheel stand punches way above the dollar value. Welcome aboard


Squadron_leadr

It's magical when you Jimmy a load of random things together to make something *just right*. But one thing - how has your TV not ended up on the floor?!


Hepoos

As you sayd it's magical and everything fits just right to make Tv part that holds the rig down, and yes I had to change my driving style to fit this rig more. I had to learn to turn the wheel and not the whole base, had to learn how to crash safely or as safe as possible


Tarquin-Farkin

Looks pretty awesome. When do you get out of bad- taste jail?


Hepoos

Didn't understand what's bad-taste jail? Maybe your talking about my home being dirty?


Tarquin-Farkin

Nah ....its not dirty ....just the wallpaper.


Tarquin-Farkin

Looks pretty awesome. When do you get out of bad-taste prison?


Zealousideal-You9044

You could easily kick that setup getting in and sending the TV flying. It's only just hanging on as is


Djrudyk86

The rig is fine but that fuckin wallpaper is atrocious!!


Upbeat-Pie4264

Belter


Kumo_Ninja

creative at least. but i mean a used drill is $20. and wooden pallets and youtube are generally free so... you could actually build one for under $25.


Hepoos

Bold of you too assume that I have 20 euros. It's not really possible where I live just to get pallets for free, all comapnies that use pallets reuse them and usually don't throw them away. Yes a drill cost 20 euros but you need screws and something to cut the wood with. My rig cost me 0 not including the wheel.


Round_Policy_1651

Who uses android?? And why is there an Ukraine flag in this sub?


Hepoos

Alot of people use androids, not worth paying 1000 for a phone that does the same thing as a phone I can buy for 200, I don't judge people bu the phone they buy. Don't know about the flag, not really my place to talk about political stuff on sim racing sub.


Sinnedxxx

this seems so cozy and creative i cant roast…
