Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    Playing racing games on PC.

    At first, it’s just a few racing games with an Xbox controller.

    Then it get more complicated with the more advanced racing sim/arcade and the controller isn’t enough anymore.

    Then come a simple wheel and pedals set.

    But now the games is way more enjoyable, then up the difficulty.

    Now I need gear shifter, hand brake, better monitor, better PC.

    Then not long until I need a full racing cockpit to mount everything on.

    And now, after all that is just the beginning.

        I enjoy VR games, but I can’t get into VR racing. I can’t see the wheel, the shifter so it’s hard to enjoy immersion when I had to fumbling to find a grip. I can’t see the control buttons so navigating the menu is a pain in the rear end.
