I'm loving Control atm though.

I was a big Alan Wake fan, hated Quantum Break but miss Quantum Leap.

Guess I do like Remedy games. I'm really liking this title.

I play NMS in VR with Index/Vive Pro. It still needs some serious work, but they have been making it more playable. They don't always pull things off, but they really haven't given up on this game. I can't speak too ill of them anymore, they been updating the shite out of it with no requests for more payment.

Another game I'd like to spend more time in if I just had more time to spend gaming.

I gave up on it early on. Probably too early.

Anyone into racing sims? I'm thinking about F1 2019, Forza, Asseto Corsa and maybe iRacing.

I used to be into DIRT when nVidia Surround/Infinity Display was a thing.

If I had the money and space, I would build a pretty dope VR racing cockpit. Something I've always wanted to do

That sounds fun. I definitely have the space. 15 x 15 office in the basement. I think that’s big enough?

My office/gaming room is 18x19 and I feel trapped. Might be 16x19 actually.

But also have a sofa and chair along with the huge desk.

What size your desk? Or you making it "just" a VR room?

Edt: fckked up. It is 14x19. Pretty restricted.

Racing cockpits arent all that large, so I wouldn't need that much more space for my desk setup.

If I had that kind of frick it money, I would already have a dedicated game room with VR space

It's not that crazy.

I would do a flight sim over a driving sim for some reason. Maybe because I remember seeing my uncle's flight sim in the mid 90s, idk. Just always thought they were really cool.

The wireless G613 keyboard is $67 on google express right now. Highly recommend it. Liked mine at home so much that I got another one at work

May even get a third at this price for my living room PC

The G613 is lightspeed.

But you're probably thinking about the $250 G915

I tried looking for a Logitech keyboard.

Just don't like them compared to duckies. I've given into their mice though.

Romer-G switches have nothing on Cherry, but I've gotten used to them. Just having no wires to worry about looks and is amazing
