Coffee And Pie posted:What make you say that? I've handled a few pairs and they all seem really solidly constructed. I've seen the opposite, my Florsheims have been much better quality. Also, CH makes some ugly-rear end shoes that leave a bad taste for the ones that look a bit better. Shopping at eBay is still the best for quality in that price range. Salt Lick, I just got that bike pump a few months ago, love it.

You can get these courses for stupid cheap if you catch sales. I've gotten five courses over the past three months for a total cost of six bucks. I'm currently working through A History of England from the Tudors to the Stuarts, after finishing that fantastic Egypt course.

MacGyvers_Mullet posted:Got this because I want to step up to a real racing sim and it turns out iRacing is borderline impossible to play with a 360/PS4 controller. Also because Valve VR & the Rift consumer versions are coming out this fall and I want to be decent at iRacing and Project Cars by then. By all accounts both games work amazingly well with a Rift & steering wheel setup. One of us one of us one of us If you don't have it, buy the Skip Barber. Once you suck (a bit) less, join us in the iracing thread, and in the GoonCar series where I almost have secured the Season 3 championship as long as I don't massively gently caress up  We also have two or three teams running the Twelve Hours of Sebring at the end of the month, but you need at least a D4.0 license for that.

This is right on that excellent tightrope between terrible and fantastic, which is the same reason I own the goon bike jersey. I bought some scrap denim, fusible, and navy thread to reinforce my APC New Standards. They are awesomely broken in, way more comfy to wear than lounge pants or pajamas, but that comes at the expense of strength. After hand washing and reinforcement of the most stressed areas like the crotch  and key pocket, they should be good to go for a while.E: sick fades brah

Aphrodite posted:The best part was when they announced the New 3DS, they also announced new models of the 3DS.  I'll stick to my pc games - if it doesn't work well, just turn down settings. I just got Dirt Rally on Steam Early Access - let's see if Codemasters can pull off a decent rally sim/game that isn't just a Ken Block rallycross circlejerk... It's got terrible force feedback and it's a ton of work to get my wheel to feel at all decent, but the courses are nice and tight and the AI isn't stupid easy like previous Codemasters titles. We'll see how this one progresses as they move towards a true release.

I saved half off the normal cost of $100/year, so I'll probably put that savings into buying four or five tracks when they do their next promotion in a few months. I've got most of the road tracks, but I just bought the Late Model stock car and I need to buy some ovals

colas posted:I'm a big Gran Turismo fan, is this anything like that or is it more simulation-y? Is GT dogshit compared to recent sims? If you want forgiving but still believable physics, and think graphics are more important than AI or netcode, you could try Project CARS on PC or console. If you want to be a big boy and drive something that actually drives like a real car with cutting-edge frame twist and contact patch physics models, then rFactor 2 might be for you. If you want to race against the best sim drivers in the world with some of the most accurate cars/tracks and some drat good netcode, then iRacing is pretty awesome as long as you have the cash for a wheel and all of the content for the series you want to compete in. Or if you want to gently caress around in a beta-stage rally game, get DIRT Rally. It's a hoot.

 Mandolin, because I am terrible at playing instruments tuned in fifths and at reading treble clef. I'm pretty terrible - I'm still trying to hold the thing correctly but it's totally different from what I'm used to for bass and guitar. Also bought a Kirby because allergens suck and a stupidly expensive vacuum/shampooer is obviously the answer.

From a salesman, we were going to get a Dyson but we also wanted a decent shampooer, and once you include those it gets expensive enough to consider a Kirby. We were able to negotiate down a decent amount (still stupidly expensive) and it's really simple to dismantle to remove all the hair that clogged our previous vacuums and shampooer. Plus, the wife is happy, and our puppy discovered that it's fun to pee on the carpet as we hook up his leash to go outside... it's getting used pretty often. We can return it within a short timeframe, can't remember how long, but it's probably going to stay here. The Science Goy has a new favorite as of 17:36 on Sep 14, 2015 |

 I bought a used button box to add to my sim racing gear. After $2.88 in various mounting hardware and such, I got it attached to my cockpit and programmed tonight. Once I land on a more solid button map I'm going to print out labels instead of using post-it notes The button box is a definite improvement over blindly reaching for my keyboard macros. Once I memorize the button layout I won't have to take my eyes of the screens to use the controls. And it looks boss as hell
