Guilt and shame

I've been working on getting albums I like, I've found playing from vinyl is just kinda fun. I have my favorites set up in the hallway, and I rotate what's in front whenever I play one so it's constantly changing artwork. The rest are in the box

I don't know yet what I'm gonna do when I run out of space 😅

Bottle caps.

Well, not collect; I host parties where the beer (bottles) are free. They're in the beer fridge in the garage. Next to the fridge in a stand with a bottle opener. Below that is a bucket, where I've been collecting the caps from the past 10 years. There's thousands. I have no idea what to do with them, but I really hope Fallout is right, cause I'll be rich!

And there's no mold, I've checked.

Lately, pirated movies, TV shows and games. I'm expecting things to be harder to find in the future.

Cats. I only have 2 "permanent" cats, but am fostering 10 kittens at the moment and have fostered over 150 so far.

Money.

According to my steam library, apparently video games I haven’t played.

I’m also building up a small collection of manga books, mostly consisting of cat-themed works since I’m not big on romancey stuff or the “big” shonens.

Unsorted screws half broken bike parts and wooden boards of various sizes.

I love collecting things. It's terrible.

Currently, plants and plant-related items.

And always books.

Mostly music for me. 35ish years of CD purchases, modest vinyl collection. Bootlegs (though digital these days).

Some books, mostly just favorite authors/franchises.

I also have a decent enough GameCube collection.

I'm the pay I used to collect knives and gargoyles. Now I only collect digital video games, because you can often get them free or cheap and they take up no space on my small home.

Books.

I have more than i can ever read, but i don’t care. Having so much variety right in my home makes me feel rich. And they’re cheap - i mostly buy used.

Terabytes on top of terabytes of live music recordings

Knives, rocks, locks, movies(DVD, Blu-ray), Bows and arrows, brass candle holders

I don't collect much these days. Most of my money goes into investments and savings now, as I've kind of turned from acrruing objects to wanting to buy back as much of my free time as possible.

When I did collect, it was comic books, regular books, and toys, of which I still have many. During COVID, when I was stuck being at home at all times, it hit me that I had over-collected and I was stacking stuff all around me. I've since sold maybe a third of my collection and it's my hope that the people who bought those things are getting a lot more enjoyment out of them than I was.

And, when I moved three years ago, I gave about half of my comic collection to neighbors, friends, and their kids, which the vast majority of these being books that were released in recent years and unlikely to ever be worth much. The gems of my collection, like Batman Adventures #12 and my X-Men #4 signed by Stan Lee, obviously aren't going anywhere.

I still occasionally see things I want, but whenever I feel like I need to buy another plastic thing, I don't look at the price tag. I look at the price tag plus whatever the accrued interest might be if I stuck it in investments instead.

Plastic model kits. Especially from Bandai. Please send help

Craft things: 'I'm going to get to soon' (I just got some Nalbinding needles, still haven't tried quilling yet).
And art books that I rarely read.

• Images of movies, tv shows, anime and manga I watched/ read and really like. Got about 33K images categorized in Eagle library.

• Books, books and books. Unfortunately though, I can’t collect a lot yet. I don’t have my own apartment yet, so no real bookcase. I’ll definitely collect when I got my own place.

• Digital games that I actually like and want to own through Piracy.

I have ADHD, so hobbies, mostly. And 3/4 finished projects that I'll totally come back to and finish one day.

Ive liked things in the past but I have been sorta minimalist. I like don't feel like I would much want to collect things again without like a really secure living situation with enough room to properly deal with a collection. Of course if I had it at this point I also have that I am sorta getting old and I don't want to have to have someone else deal with it later and I like things like gardening and walking and just playing video games. I could see really getting into collecting virtual things as it would not take to much space to put up a well backed up file server.

Pancakes.

Seeds, silver & gold, ammo, firearms and accessories

Sea glass. I have a bunch of jars with it from all over the world.

Nudes from women who willingly send them to me. I don't share them with other people, and I usually send one to them of myself. These are also women I talk with semi-regularly, not randos.

Embarassing Life Moments

Lots of things. The biggest categories are probably video games and music. I also like airline playing cards.

Watches I suppose, although I wouldn't want to be called a watch collector because I have zero interest in most of the watches that most watch collectors consider must-have

dust bunnies.

Mostly memories that hurt and new things to fear.

Enemies regrets broken dreams bad writing styles kinks

Mechanical keyboards, though about forty percent of them at this point are ones I feel comfortable saying I “made,” which is to say I did something significantly more involved than assembling a barebones kit. Still, they’re accumulating a bit and sometimes I build one just to try some small layout tweak or technique I haven’t done before.

I also have a fountain pen collection, but I haven’t added much to it recently. It’s not a bad gift vector for loved ones though, and it turns out that my Montblanc really is nice, though not by such a margin that I was ever going to pay for it myself.

Good memories

Regrets and lessons learned the hard way, apparently

Vintage audio equipment particularly if it's distressed.

It's satisfying to bring these things back to life.

• vinyl of classic albums in the genres I follow
• nice editions of books I like

Nail polish primarily. I keep my nails short, but having them different, fun colors as temporary art is a small joy.
