clattering into someone even in sim is kinda scary especially seeing a car standing sideways on the track mere moments before the hit.

Imagine doing that in VR you could hace collected me on the floor with that lul.

The two races were very fun though.

@snow Just have fun doing it.

I could not do sim-racing if I could not push those thoughts aside

@snow tbh you should not stop pursuing something just because someone is better than you (perceived)

@snow You could also jsut do it on your own and never share

@r0se https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_(Glasgeschirr)

@r0se it even has its own german wiki-article being referenced as "german bowl"

@alexseifert are we really digging up that debate again?

@r0se Its surely a staple favorite in german households from what I know

@aetios my rig be like:

- literal office chair on wheels (better than plastic stool)
- desk
- some carpet
- Moza R3 Bundle

I do like the base nice and compact. Wheel is nice with an option to swap. Pedals could be less steep for taste tbh.

I can send you a pic later when you like

@r0se I was never enough of a german to have one

Its (sim) race day!

Looking forward to wrestling around an old civic on Oschersleben this evening.

Pray for not causing carnage by missing a breakpoint with no ABS

@puniko Did not even know you had a cat. May he rest well

@aetios good desicion

@hugh likely you are not. Also since you are in the UK you know the effects already anyway.

The verification stuff will hit NSFW stuff hard for sure. But for everything else nothing changes and verification is optional

Still is kinda funny a hackerspace would even consider using discord and not host somethinf themselves.

@hugh I see then have fun looking for an alternative if needed. Though it will heavily depend how "structure" the chat has.

@hugh @NeonPurpleStar now you tell me why you use discord for hackspace chat

@ocean When you need to forfeit your online social life when leaving discord you relied on it to heavily tbh.

I would not want to go away from it as of now but I certainly could find some other place to socialize lol. It would suck to loose the tabletop-servers and that sim-racing discord though. Thats mostly why I sticked to it.

Community effect is a thing in niche-hobbies. You would find most of them on discord.

But tbh as of now there is a lot of FUD going down. This one change will affect 18+ servers and channels. But its a clear warning sign that alternatives need to be built as discord will enshittify further no doubt.

(Also please get the vital information off of discord already!)

Also people going back to IRC is way too funny.

@NeonPurpleStar just some age verification to access the more spicy content in the future. If you are using non-NSFW servers/channels nothing really changes
