what does the "decent" entry level steering wheel and pedals look like? I really like car games and I think it would be fun as hell to put my 4yo behind the wheel of a car too so i'm thinking about upgrading my gaming pc with some car peripherals

also even with an analog xbox controller stick turning feels too spasmodic and imprecise

The $250-$350 ish logitech wheels are probably fine. if that's too rich I got an old logitech driving force gt off eBay for like $90 and its loud but functional. certainly makes dirt rally 2.0 more fun. you can ask in the games PC sim racing thread for more precise info

the thrustmaster t150 is the cheapest “real” sim wheel out there.

after that would be the Logitech g290/g920 wheels

then the thrustmaster t300rs.

that’s in order of price/features/quality. if it’s mainly for your kid, get the t150 or a used Driving Force GT.

if you’re going to get into racing, go for the Logitech’s or the T300RS

we also have a pc sim racing thread that’s pretty active: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3763524

really, the biggest obstacle of a decent wheel is how you're going to mount it to your desk. If you don't have the room and can't adjust your monitors to see over it, no wheel will really work out and be comfortable. Also, you'll need a chair you can lock down because you will constantly trying to hold yourself in place while pressing the pedals.

I bought a wheel stand for my G27 and my cleaning lady made fun of me for it.

the core activities of walking/flying around, collecting stuff, and scanning stuff are still there, but recontextualized to an almost absurd degree and also accompanied by brand new mission, base building, and task management systems

none of it is terribly deep but in terms of sheer number of different things you can do there are not many games that come close

When I was a kid and first asked "what kind of music are you into?" I said the simcity music. At the time it was not believed this was an acceptable answer, but now that I'm older I stand by it

The update honestly looks pretty cool but unless the procgen gets a major upgrade I'll probably never get back into it. Exploring gets boring once you notice how few biomes there are, and that all the wacky stuff is hardcoded in rather than falling out of the procgen.

they added more biomes in one of the big updates and some of the content they've added has a much wider level of variety such as the derelict freighters and the settlements from the latest update. i do get your point though and i have noticed it a fair bit in the game.

btw the website has been updated with the full latest patch notes: https://www.nomanssky.com/frontiers-update/. there's a new expeditions season starting soon which looks really interesting. also i noticed another smaller update has been pushed via Steam which hopefully addresses some of the bugs and stability issues i noticed while playing last night.

I don’t know really anything about subnautica, but no mans sky can essentially be played forever. you need to follow the main quest for a bit until you can warp between solar systems, but after that you can gently caress off into space forever if you want. there is a end game to it if you follow the main quest but I’d argue the majority of people don’t.

a bit like elite dangerous in that way

my understanding of subnautica is that it has a definite end and the main story is the main point?

There has to be something broken with these achievements, 27% of people have caught a fish in each region, which means over a quarter of people who bought this incredibly hard game have beaten hades enough times they happened to have a fish spawn in greece. Are these numbers elevated somehow? Am I just awful at video games?
