This was a "Charge a Celeb out the ass, because they have the money" build.

[TOGSolid]

Joe Rogan got the sim rig equivalent of an Alienware

[Rthierry]

To me, the verbiage or words used to describe the reasoning for the high components was very much marketing buzzwords without any understanding of how a computer works. Also, the surround speakers being covered by the monitors is the icing on the cake for me.

13:44 "Motion rigs.. they're up and down."
Perfect!

[Ruylopez]

Rogan doesn't even have a motivational whiteboard for 70k? Pfff, amateur.

You weren't being a dick, some of the claims these guys made were a little off. If they truly took 15-20 hours just for cable management I question their abilities. I get that it's a lot of attention to detail and they are aiming for a super clean and streamlined setup, but 15-20 hours is an over exaggeration.

[parliament-of-owls]

another thing is 70 grand for a triple monitor setup with BEZELS?!?!

6:50 I love that message Jimmy. That's exactly how it should be. Im very happy you're an advocate for a lot of us and always do your best to make it accessible to everyone.

They saw him coming from a mile away. Military grade overcharging.

I'd want an Active pedal for the clutch too. Only way you can simulate the bite point.

Also, subwoofers go on the floor.

[Mawding]

I just thought it was a tad silly they said they charged however many thousand of dollars to powder coat it a porsche sampled paint and decide on silver when the extrusions are already so similar with no coating

14:10 The point of harness in motion sim is not to prevent falling of the sim but to allow the smallish amount of movement that the rig can do to most effectively affect your body. The tighter you are connected to the rig, the smaller vibrations and movement you can feel. It's not like slightly tilting your seat can accurately simulate 6g corners in F1 racing but you get more like 0.1g at best. If you don't use harness and you slide around a bit, that might be 0.05g or 0.02g effectively.

[flippy]

idk but I instantly got the scammy vibe from those guys, as nice as it is that is not worth 70k, also there is no way theyre pushing stable 120fps on three 4K monitors even with 4090

[lordruste]

I spent 50 dollars to pull a seat out of an old Sentra at a junkyard and another 10-20 dollars to clean/disinfect it. Incredibly comfortable and has all the positioning mechanisms to slide forward and back and tilt the back.

[nicknyaa]

I really do like how this Jimmy reassures a lot of sim drivers and people who want to get into sim driving that you don't need to spend 5 figures for a sim and that you can get into for way cheaper and sometimes better! Not to say the sim isn't cool, it is, it's just seems like the money could have been spent elsewhere.

[NozFoxGaming]

i hav motion, and its impractical to have the monitors attached to the rig so it can all move together. you have to do an insane amount of reinforcing to stop them from shaking. The horizon in real life does not move, when the motion isnt exaggerated the screens are fine being static

[Edt_dcs]

Sure hope those irl carbon seats make your virtual racing car lighter

[isuckatthisgame]

Imagine Joe getting beaten by an average G29 user lmao

[troyrannosaur]

I built Air Traffic Control Simulators for the FAA and militaries and schools. These guys are overselling so damn hard on their "tedious" efforts jeezahs.

[mjanzen]

Podium 1 made a video responding to you. They asked you to go to there home base and try out the rig!!!
Please do this! It would be amazing

Even with the pc and people working on it, I would argue that 30k would be already quite much for it. There's like 15-20k of hardware there, unless I'm missing something even with the work put in 70k seems outrageous.
