looking at all my photography gear

Fuck.

when you get video game autism

I got Autism, ADHD, Depression, and the secret ingredient: Maladaptive Daydreaming!

I am a finely tuned machine for endless hours of staring at a wall looking at fun pictures in my head.

Me getting into gaming: Woo! Lots of fun games on my Xbox with cheap used games!

Me getting into computers: Yeah, this is great! A bit more expensive, but plenty of potential, just gotta keep it in budget!

Me getting into cars: …fuck

That was my childhood.

I wanted to be a musician, but instruments were expensive.

Now I'm a software developer, and depakene killed my rhythm sense and absolute pitch, so best I can do is put together some demo that underrepresents the capabilities of my software synthesizers. (I really need to switch anti-seizure medications, as it also acts as an ADHD worsener, a sleep worsener (melatonin does negate it for the most part, except for the harder wake-up times), and an anti-psychiatry argument (it's also a mood stabilizer, which I don't need), but I don't have money for private doctors, public healthcare in our country only exists as a last resort and a show case)

I got slammed with ADHD, autism, and genius... I have more ideas than I can count, plan them out in detail, then get distracted by my next curiosity and shelve the last one with the rest of them.

Bonus points, I got the expensive hobbies one too, so I have a tackle box full of chainmail rings, a bunch of Raspberry Pi Nanos, a full-sized Raspberry Pi with a bunch of sensors and addressed LED strands, and TB of hard drive space chewed up by half finished projects.

Computer, video games and furry. The first two are affordable at least. Ain't never gonna be able to get a fur suit 😩

I got both. Turns out the pure natural sciences has a shitty job market. My degree can't even pay for itself let alone my expensive hobby.

Cries in swordsmithing and longsword training

My hobbies are scuba, underwater photography, woodworking, and guns.

I'm basically a war criminal as far as my wallet is concerned.

I got 2 out of the 3, but science doesn't pay for expensive hobbies.

Overpriced science hobby. 😢

I fold origami cranes from less than 1x1 cm paper that I cut myself. I'm quite good on terms of price per hour

Photography (Sony A7IV), 3d printing (Bamboo labs), motorcycles(BMW S1kRR, the best gears ATGAT), computers and networking(custom-built pfsense and the entire house is wired on 10Gbe and some 2.5Gbe), Home automation (home assistant), security cameras(4k and 8k cameras on frigate w/google coral). The list goes on and on. The good thing is I already have the best of most of my hobbies and "remembering" my old passion, I don't have to spend too much more to get back in.

Lego, vinyl records, safety razors, guns, books, knives, flashlights, woodworking, Arduinos and raspberry pi's...

So many barely fleshed out hobbies.

I love comics and Lego. They are both so PRICEY

warhambler make serotonin yay

Sometimes it's a two-for-one deal!

life is just unfair af, it seems like it doesn't matter if what issue anyone is struggling with, all that matter is output

And it takes forever for me to generate the ouput that others just generate so easily and so fast

Looks at 35 year old 4x4 parked in my driveway

I don't need to be called out like this.

... both is good
