I’m a fast learner, just looking for someone to play with who enjoys teaching. I understand F1 and racing but I do not understand how the game ecosystem works and what is “meta” and what I should be focusing on or doing to make my time productive.
I seem to be stumbling around looking for a cockpit or solution to mount a shifter and handbrake. I want it to be stable but I also don’t want to spend more than $500 or so dollars. I have an old gaming chair I can use in a cockpit but at this point I’m ready to just build my own.
Maybe I’m losing it but after the firmware update it’s like my wheel no longer provides any sensation on crashes or bumps, just alignment torque where as before I felt like the wheel would try to pull itself out of my hands on a crash. Now it does nothing. For context I’m playing Forza 6 on Xbox
I’ll keep this as short as possible. She’s a night shift nurse trying to get to day shift. I work in a very demanding corporate sales job. I’m 8-5 M-F and she’s night shift 7pm to 7am 3 random nights a week and one weekend every 3 weeks. She does NOT stay on a consistent sleep schedule. On the days she works she sleep from 8-2 and on the days she doesn’t it’s about 12-12. I try to be 10:30-6:50.
We have been together coming up on 2 years and I love her very much. She’s a great woman, smart, hard working and would make an excellent mother. However since we’ve been together she’s begged for a weiner dog and this is where my “resentment” for lack of a better word, started. We got a very expensive dog for free and I really didn’t want it but we had an opportunity to get it for free and I reluctantly caved. I don’t mind the dog as I’ve had them all my life but rather than use taking care of the dog together it feels like I’m alone with it 3/4 of the week because of her schedule.
When she works she leaves for work at 6. Gets home at 7 am sleeps till 2 then will go to the gym for 2-3 hours (which I find to be absurd because I go to the gym every day and we have an apartment gym but she drives 20 minutes to crunch anyway).
And between my two days in the office and 3 wfh and her flipped schedule this feels like I’m alone the majority of the work week and when she is home she’s sleeping. Now I don’t just her for it and sleep is important but at the same time the reality is she’s either asleep when I’m awake or wide awake when I’m trying to go to sleep and it’s gradually become more and more annoying.
My two main complaints are that we aren’t able to get things done early in the day and enjoy the rest of the day and that neither of us have sex at the times we either enjoy.
I’m a very poor sleeper and I have adhd so my wind down routine is very important to me but despite my complaints she only wants to have sex right after I’ve showered and got in bed while I’m trying to sleep resulting in me not getting enough sleep and having poor performance the next day at work. I want to have sex in the morning or mid day or even earlier in the evening before I shower and begin that routine. This results in us only having sex about once a month. Which I’m fine with but she is not.
This came to a head today because we were late to a 1:50 tee time. We were up at a bar until midnight and were in bed at 12:30 which is close to her normal bedtime. I was up at 7:30 am. She did not get out of bed until 1 pm. It took her 40 minutes to get ready and we were 5 minutes late to golf because of it.
I don’t dislike her because of her work and she is trying to get on day shift but every day that passes I find myself growing more and more irritable with her and distant in our relationship.
I know that if she worked a normal schedule I would have no complaints and I’m working hard to make enough to retire her and continue our hobbies. She could quit now and I could support both of us but together our combined incomes are over $300k and this allows us to have a very comfortable life style and take vacations.
I know this is not as serious as others but it is becoming a divide in our relationship FOR ME. Do I stick it out and hope she gets a schedule shift which is unlikely, have her quit which severely impacts our quality of life and investing ability or break up and find someone else who aligns more with what I want out of life? (I know that if this continues for another year or two I will get so tired of the sleeping and loneliness that I will fall out of love)
I’m at my shits end. I have no idea how to fix this. I just want to use the sequential shifter and bind shift up and shift down but it doesn’t seem to work. Does anyone have a solution?
Been thinking about changing grips recently. I have large palms and smaller fingers. Has anyone used a regular grip with +4 or extra wraps for the trail hand?
I’ve decided that I’m getting the spider zt. I hit probably about 200 puts today with each from varying distances. Felt super confident with both. I think I like the more compact look of the regular zt but I feel the forgiveness of the max. Make percentage was within margin of each other so I don’t think either came out on top based on the numbers. I currently play the spider tour x. Looking for any feedback back on either.
