This stood out to me as well. He's so fucking dumb, it's amazing.
I don't know who he was talking to, but they convinced him to get the shifter, which he 100% won't need. Obviously, all you have to do, is shift down one more time when you're in Neutral, hit the gas, and there you go.

He also showed how he's attaching all this shit to his flimsy, shaky table:

The force feedback of the steering wheel combined with the force being put into shifting gears will make his table tremble constantly
at the least. Also: he's using an office chair on wheels - this means he'll constantly be pushing himself away from the desk when applying force on the pedals with his feet/legs. AND, since it's an office chair, the seat will constantly rotate as well, which is annoying as fuck when using a steering wheel/pedals.
Oh yeah, this shit's going to GUD. There will be at least a boomer-style tech stream of him trying to set up the steering wheel, which will probably provide some gold dust. And I can't wait for the inevitable toxic rant aimed at "all the peepul" FORCING him into buying buying a steering wheel (AND a shifter) once he realizes 1) it's not working as he was expecting, and 2) he's not going to use it often (or even at all).
