Not yet, but I’ve priced them out and have spent lots of time picking out what I want. Just need some extra money. In the meantime, I got some VR goggles and play Golf+. It’s close to the real thing and fun.

It is awesome, that was my other idea, just get 3 more vr headsets with golf+ and just do multiplayer with my buddies versus getting a simulator.

Can get this on amazon but the VR would be much cheaper.

I’ve gotta say, I’m really impressed with Golf + It’s a lot of fun, but for improving your actual golf game, a simulator is way better.

true, but a game room setup for drunk friends vr might be better, we should try and hook up to play a round

You need to have a whole wall of old school video arcade games. Get a bunch in 1up arcade cabinets. They are 3/4 size but still awesome…

I’ve been nursing a back tweak, but am ready to play again. Hit me up @CaptTyler

Not to be a negative Nancy but some of that is overkill. How many TV and computer screens do you need in one house? Unless you are throwing gaming parties, I don’t see the use other than a financial flex and I have to admit, that is a pretty good flex.

Emulation has gotten so good. I messed around with Xemu this weekend and got a bunch of Xbox games running. I'm now convinced I need to build a cabinet and manage everything under ES-DE. The only thing to figure out is how to build the control layout. Would need a trackball and a pair of light guns.

Still debating on the gaming table, tomorrow I'm on the hunt for a sectional sofa.

I also ordered this mesh system to extend our wifi out to the cabin

Got the mesh set up, tv mounted and the surround sound. Daughter needs to get the rest of her stuff out of there.









Still trying to figure out what I want to do with the front entry.




Ordered a heat pump yesterday to take care of heat/ac. Going to look at some furniture this afternoon from marketplace. I hate buying used furniture but it looks decent for a couch/loveseat for 300 bucks. Hopefully the pool table get's here this weekend.

Needed to order an outdoor extender for the mesh. The faraday cage I built as my house is creating issues with intermittent connectivity.

I bought the furniture set. For 300 bucks it's pretty damn nice. I will be steam cleaning it though. Not sure if I am going to stay with this setup.







Heat pump got delivered today so I think we will be installing that tomorrow.

Pool table still hasn't shipped yet, hopefully that is still here this weekend.
