I can't afford to race real cars so I race video game cars.  So much so that I bought a tv and a second PS4 so I can leave my wheel and pedals set up.  I'm in 2 weekly leagues, Tuesday nights and Thursday nights.  Public lobbies are generally shit shows but (most) everyone in the organized leagues tries to race clean.  One of the leagues streams the races and has people who do commentary.  

Whatever, it's fun.

OP, you may want to invest in a better chair. Your back pain called, it's looking for you.

I collect watches and knives. I have no idea why. I can only wear/carry one of each. I really don't want to think about the amount of money I've spent on these in the last 30 years.

Etymology and languages. I have several etymology dictionaries and have tried to learn half a dozen languages (mostly unsuccessfully).

Educational documentaries.
I can be perfectly happy all day watching documentaries on dams, or commercial fishing, or the mating habits of some frog in some country I will never go to, or the details about some battle that took place hundreds of years ago in a country that no longer exists.
Nature, history, science, how things are made or how things work. I can watch them for hours.

I hated learning history as a kid. Now you could sit me down to an 8 hour documentary on the history of french monarchs or something like that, I'd watch it.

On the plus side, I can totally sound like an intellectual about a shit ton of subjects.

Mine would probably be model cars. I do it off and on. The Mercedes Clk-gtr I am currently doing has been a work in progress for like 4 years now. But then sometimes I’ll complete one in a week or two. I actually worked on it a couple weeks ago. I should really finish it soon. Attachment Attached File

40k and warcry.


Haven’t really had the time to play those games in about 20 years, but I still enjoy putting together and painting units. Things like warcry and killteam are nice because they do give me a chance to play a little bit.

I assume you're talking cheating and not drugs...

How do people cheat in these things?

Or... are there really people taking PEDs to improve their Outrun scores?
