The 'Look, I just bought' thread

^^^^ dawwwwww, she looks just like you!


Bought another frame, which arrived this afternoon, to house my pCARS1 memory

The small cut-out section under the steelbook is to display my quote from the 'community quotes' section of the booklet that came with the Limited Edition copies of the game.

Will sit on the wall nicely with the Hotwheels poster/car and the signed pCARS poster from SMS. With the pCARS2 collector's edition also now on display, I think I'll be hard pressed to forget how fantastic the last 11 and a bit years have been.

That is an excellent idea. Looks great.

That was when I got my HP Reverb G2. Maybe still the best headset to own for a simracer, as long as it works.

Meant to ask you about this earlier, why do you say that? Because of the high resolution? I'm asking because I am about to get a new headset to replace my Rift S, which I like a lot for other games, but for racing I could not stand the low resolution looking far ahead, so maybe indeed the G2 is what I'm looking for as well for racing.

Well, maybe today´s best VR-headset would be a Pico 4, but... I don´t see why I as a pure simracer should have a stand-alone headset with batteries and a weird PC connection. I don´t mind being connected via cable, which gives me the chance to run endurance races without any worries. The display though is really good (pico and Varjo might be better, I don´t know those). A while ago I had a Rift S here and I have to say that the Reverb is about two classes better than that.

Summing it all up, I am pretty happy with image quality, headphones and comfort. A bit wider FOV would be nice but I can live with what I have. I am just not that happy with reliability, my old Oculus CV1 is of much better quality (see a few pages before).

When my last Reverb headset broke I thought about looking for a cheap solution for a while and then wait for the next great headset coming along soon. But which one would that be? From what I read on the internet even the follow-up of the Valve Index is going to be a stand-alone (if that is true). And currently there is no cheap solution. I don´t see any replacement for my Reverb any time soon and so I decided for a used headset for "only" 229 € to get on somehow. At least I can go on using the controllers as well as my VR cover face pad. Not happy with being stuck with HP though.

Thanks a lot for all the info! As I was afraid then, apparently I'm also gonna get stuck with HP now

i had the luck to test a Quest pro for 3 days.
The pencake lenses are great, as there is no typical sweetspot problem anymore.
But in view on the price, i have to stay with my Reverb and Quest 2 and wait for the Quest 3

It all depends on you what is "best". Technically the Reverb is pretty flawless from my point of view. Good resolution, good sharpness, almost no screendoor-effect, pretty comfortable, good headphones that don´t touch your ears, not too heavy and a cable connection for as many hours in a row as you please. Hard to beat, if you ask me. Maybe the Pico is worth a try, if you don´t mind buying Chinese stuff. Maybe Pimax with a very wide FOV is even better for you. It´s up to you.

EDIT: Keep in mind my experience with HP service as well as the questionnable quality. Also the Reverb is very picky with USB connectors. Buy whatever you want, there will always be light and shadow.

New tail lights for the Celica:



- First reason: because i like them.
- Second reason: because the entire outside of the car is silver and black ATM. The body is silver and the rims are black. They will fit right into the look of the car, especially since i painted the interior of my head lights black:
