I have no photographic evidence, but trust me when I say that seeing my car's odometer read 111,111 miles, it was a cool moment for me.

Absolutely insane that this would jump up by $10 over the last time that I bought them. How much RAM does this even have?? :small_angry_armless_italian:

The #LMP3 class in #LMU isn't the most popular, nor the easiest thing to drive, but given that I was racing at peak hours for the game, a win in split 4 (and with the pace for it) feels good man. #SimRacing #LeMansUltimate

I wasn't aware of the dock and controller updates for my #NintendoSwitch2, so #PSA to the rest of ya, go into system settings and update your dock and controllers. Those aren't automatic, as far as I know.

Just another bang-on standard day of racing on #LMU today. I jumped into Safety Rating Platinum 2 today, despite being more liberal with taking track limit penalties that I normally would have backed out of. 😅 Qatar was enjoyable once I got into my flow, it had […] [Original post on ocw.social]

I've had this game on #Steam for so long and it took releasing on #NintendoSwitch for me to actually sink my teeth into it and discover that #SuperWodenRallyEdge is _a very good game_. :carby: 🏁

Can confirm that Super Woden Rally Edge for the Nintendo Switch is good and runs smoothly on #NintendoSwitch2 (do your research for Switch). I already have the World Record for the USA Hillclimb stage! 🏁 :carby: www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/…

Anyway, here's what the keyboard tray looks like! Pretty handy! I'm glad I didn't go without this QOL upgrade for too long because every time I reached for the keyboard on the floor I could have pulled a shoulder or back muscle. #SimRacing #NextLevelRacing #QOL

On the right, a black Next Level Racing (NLR) rig features a black leather racing seat, pedals, a steering wheel, and a monitor displaying a scenic landscape above. Attached to the black aluminum extrusion frame is an extended black rectangular keyboard tray swung outward.

I just finished installing a keyboard tray on my sim rig and I happened to look over at my shifter and handbrake, where I found a random bolt and washer just laying in between the devices... I have no idea how that got there or what it fell out of. :wa:

This web app for #LeMansUltimate has evolved and expanded so many features in just a few months. It's how I check the schedule of races, where they're racing, and what future time slots I might be interested in. I can also see past race results, all without launching the game. I can't believe […]

I need to talk myself off the ledge on the subject of the new #Pixel11 phones this week because the trade-in and pre-order offers are putting the price within reach and _just about the same_ as the Pixel 10 Pro I was pricing just the week before. But I don't need it. My #Pixel7Pro still gets […]

I finally did it, y'all. Got my first win in #LMU! Biggest gain to my driver rank and a nice boost to my confidence in quite a while. I wish I had time tonight to edit down a little clip of the race, but maybe later this week I can do that. #SimRacing #LeMansUltimate Full results here

Ok that's my sign to go to bed. I dozed off on the last turn of the final lap and parked the car into the armco barrier. Surprisingly, the gap to the car behind me didn't shrink, so I guess I was fine?? #FormulaLegends #NintendoSwitch #SimRacing
