Sim Racing makes you a more capable driver. Understanding vehicle dynamics has saved my ass IRL multiple times.
My man if understanding vehicle dynamics has saved your ass multiple times, you are not driving in an envelope suitable for public roads. And before you blame others, some barely functional shitheel that drives their kids to school does not owe you an understanding of vehicle dynamics. Get over yourself.
Holy fuck, pal. Sit the fuck down and relax before you create your own raged out alternate universe about my life.
YOU need to get over yourself. You have no idea about any of the circumstances I'm referring to and I sure as hell owe you no explanation now that you've come out of the gate with raw judgement and assumptions.
You're driving too fast. Slow the fuck down before you kill someone
Just like the other reply above, you're making huge assumptions about the circumstances I referred to in my reply; A reply posted to a chill thread about video games of all things. It's so weird to me that two people have quite literally condemned me for daring to say that the things I've learned in a video game have helped me protect myself and my vehicle in real life.
You know literally nothing about me. Just because someone plays racing games as a hobby does not mean they are a menace on the road.
I didn't think my reply actually required a "/s", but I guess it did
You're a little defensive, dude
In my position, you wouldn't be? One person told me to "get over myself" as if they think I'm on some ego trip and then you tell me to "slow the fuck down" cause you think I'm gonna kill someone? All of that in response to saying that driving sims have had a positive effect on my life.
An /s would have helped if you really were just trying to crack a joke. The other user also jumped to the conclusion that I was going to blame others (for what exactly? I've never caused or been involved in an accident in my life; not even a speeding ticket) for some imagined negative effect of my hobby while also just electing to brand others on the road as "barely functioning shitheels".
What else am I supposed to do with this? lol
