What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

What, no VR headset yet?

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Similarly I lose immersion when I'm going into a corner and I struggle to see the car on my inside. That's why I want to try VR.

I don't play with a shifter, just paddles on the wheel (driving F4 in iracing), so I don't think I'd have any trouble with where the controls are. Maybe the Apple Vision Pro will end up being the best racing headset though and solve your problem.
