    I don't know what's funnier, the fact that you're marrying an Me 262, or how much offense you're going to take against this post.

    Ok, lets stop turning this into an argument thread. Once again, lets stop bugging Captain. Adam.

    Lets change the topic to something else.

    I just noticed something. All of my computer purchases are because of beam.
    I started with an old Compaq Presario C700. Back then, I wasn't very into computers, I just used it every once in a while.
    Then, when that tech was obsolete (WiFi stopped working, thanks Vista), I got my Lenovo G50-45. Over the course of a year, I learned more about computers than ever before. That's when I found BeamNG.drive. I had a crappy computer with a keyboard, get a played beam anyways. It was amazing, and I was hooked immediately, especially with constant updates improving my fps.
    But it wasn't enough. I upgraded the ram from 6 to 12 gigabytes, and it improved my fps by a few. Still, wasn't enough. I saved for an SSD, and when I was ready to get it, I had some deep thought about a desktop PC. I stopped, and just researched for months. When I was ready to buy the computer, I stopped again. I figured out that building a PC was cheaper, and not that hard. So I continued researching. I learned so much about computers.
    When I bought them all, they arrived a day before I left for Thanksgiving with family. So, I had to wait all weekend to get back and build it.
    When I got back, I built that PC, and I learned so much, had fun, and in the end, was very proud. I didn't have a monitor. Or keyboard, or mouse. So I took the TV in my room and used the wireless keyboard/mouse for my rasPi. After all that, I still didn't have a dedicated GPU yet, only integrated. I started her up, and it booted first try. I plugged in my Windows setup, installed Win10, and downloaded everything I needed. (Had the fastest cable back then, so it wasn't hard)
    The first benchmark I ran was beam. It was 60 fps, lowest settings 1360x768. I was so happy, seeing 60fps for the first time. Silky smooth, it was a dream.
    So I bought a GPU, after much more research and saving. When I plugged it in, it booted first try, and then I ran beam again. Max settings, 60fps, 1360x768. It was truly amazing, seeing so much detail, and smooth.
    Then I played CS:GO. My wireless keyboard/mouse was lagging behind, causing me to die much more often than on my laptop. And I was using the TV speakers.
    So I saved more, for myself the RedDragon wired keyboard/mouse, and it's amazing. Haven't needed an upgrade since I've had it. And it's silicon! Then, I got the headphones I use today. Amazing sound, great mic, all I need.
    Next, to solve the fact I had no chair or desk. I was using my bed as a chair and my dresser as a deck, and it sucked. Luckily, I was moving, and the owners left their solid wood, L-desk. So I went to Ikea and got a cheap chair, which is actually really comfortable.
    Next, to solve the TV monitor. More saving, more doing, I got my ASUS monitor. When I booted my PC, it was even crisper, and just overall better.
    I had everything I needed. But it wasn't enough. So more research, more saving, I got a racing wheel.
    Now, I'm getting an SSD when I get home, and I plan on getting another stock of ram (lately I've been running low).
    The moral of this story is that BeamNG.drive has influenced my career choice (I want to be a programmer/3D modeller since I saw this game) and purchases I make.

    Thank you devs, for making life amazing.
    A uuuge wall of text :p

    I agree, if it weren't for BeamNG I would still be using a Core 2 Quad as my daily gaming rig :p

    No, we are not.
    We are obviously currently in an alternative world, in which the 2012 apocalypse did not happen.
    Wake up. Everything is a lie.:p

    So that is what afterlife is like ?

    And I know a plane... :p I'm not gonna do it. Anyways, most planes fly too high & too fast so only time you are going to see the ad is when the plane is landing or is docked.
