The correct way to drink a beer while rifting

So, it occured to me while i was driving around in pCars that I couldn't enjoy my libation without taking my eyes off the road.
clearly this won't do so i went ahead and did this.

using a straw is a revelation.
I've joked previously about drinking beer through a straw but never actually done it till now.

But OMG it is essential, I'm half tempted to get a beer hat but i know ill end u wearing it while playing valkyrie and then it will all go tits up.

anyways...

is this something you guys have been doing all along and i'm just late to the party or is it something you think you may do in the future?
if it's neither then why? we look like idiots anyways with these boxes on our faces, we may as well give it another hit of the spice weisel.

I've got your VR beer right here! https://youtu.be/_xbmbjO0JK4


That was me for a few years from 1995. Did a few gigs with a punk band called The Exiles From Pluto. I used to wear a French Maid's dress on stage due to agreeing to it whilst drunk in front of witnesses lol  😮

Most of the songs were shite but there were a couple here and there that were half decent.

My guitars have been gathering dust for a while but I'm going to dust them off to do some of the music for my game if I ever start working on it again.

Ah, I miss smoking pot. I was a pretty heavy user through my 30s, but I stopped when I quit smoking 6 years ago.

They're supposed to be legalizing it here in Canada this year. I wouldn't mind being able to walk into a shop and pick up a little bit. 


if so, welcome back to the club. works wonders for immersion!


I hear some used to use it to counter the SDE on the dk2 like a hotfix

All you need is tea, gents.

I'd dunk something in her. 😉

But... back on topic... I tried using a straw to drink my tea while in VR once. The problem was I like to have a really piping hot cuppa that I have to sip carefully. Using a straw runs the risk of having too much scalding hot liquid gushing into your mouth at once.  😄  I was being very careful, so nothing too problematicoccurred. But having to take so much care made it... unsatisfactory. 🙂

Bottles work much better than cans, however they're not always an option. Straws are simple and functional in situations like this! Since my play area is a good size, I'm thankfully not close enough to my desk to knock drinks (and food) over 99% of the time.

Beer?  Project cars ?
You shouldn't be drinking and driving !

I can only hope that once you grow up a bit you will become more mature and civilised like me...
and drink wine...

As a bavarian I am no big fan of your straw idea tbh. Weißbier trough a straw is... *buuuuurp* I tend to only drink much when I have ppl visiting me. In that case the ppl not immersed are the b33r spawnerz for the one being immersed ^^
