A good number of games on my PC.
Anywhere from 3-100 books of sheet music depending on the books.
A bunch of used blu-rays.
A ton of used records.
A new set of speakers for my record and/or home theatre setup(s).
A new amp for my record setup.
A new pre-amp for my record setup.
A little over half the parts for a new gaming PC.
Around 3-5 vintage watches for me to fix up.
Some new tools for fixing up vintage watches.
About 7-8 pocket knives.
A new kitchen knife set.
Some new pots and pans.
Does alcohol count as a hobby? If so then 5-10 bottles of scotch.
Shit, I have a lot of hobbies. No wonder I have no money. There’s probably stuff I’m forgetting too. Damn.
Two surf boards, you only need one and can fix it pretty cheaply for like 20 bucks, but having a lot of surfboards is nice
1000€ (roughly $1600 CAD) would be a nice down payment on a decent cargo bike like the Yuba Mundo Lux.
Almost endless quantities (for me anyway) of 3d printing filament and small electronic parts.
About like 10 of the must have flashlights or a few good customs. Or one fourth of some really extreme ones.
Nice I’m a huge fan of fleshlights too.
A couple pieces niche test equipment that I’ll ude once a year.
well, my hobby is collecting posters. so probably a lot.
Less than one collector booster box of cards from the latest set…
A new practice basket. A new stack of practice putters. A cart. With plenty left over for me to get a few more backups for some of my favorite discs.
Either a new roland fantom 06 or an audio interface and some expensive DAW.
If you already have a good computer, that much money could outfit an entire home music recording studio with decent gear, especially if you buy good used gear, which is easily available:
A couple of good super-budget guitars from Harley Benton (a Strat clone and a Les Paul clone), for about $300 (new).
A good Yamaha acoustic guitar, $100.
A bass, $75.
An interface, to get the music into the computer, $50.
A basic MIDI controller, $30.
A good electronic keyboard with weighted keys, $100.
Microphone, $75.
Headphones, $50.
Electronic drum machine, $50, or use the pads on the MIDI controller, or voices on the keyboard.
DAW - Reaper is free, and works great.
That’s approximately what I spent on my studio, and everything works great, and sounds terrific…
… my favorite hobby “this week”
A basic road bike I guess? 😅
*hi-fives in serial hobbyist that also just got into bicycles*
(except there’s been a heat advisory where I live for the past week so I can’t ride safely 😭)
Ah! Same here… I just went 20 minutes really early in the morning 🤣
The wind is good when you’re moving but as soon as you stop for a red light… you die…!
*gets run over bc i didn’t want to stop and lose all my speed and the airflow keeping me uncooked*
2 years of yoga classes.
Or
All of the garden beds, fencing, and good soil I got for the garden.
A low-uptime server to backup my current one
Or a really crazy sex toy maybe, depends on how responsible I’m feeling
You guys have stable hobbies…?
If you count “starting new hobbies” as a hobby, then I could get like 4-5 hobbies out of it, around 200-250$ is a reasonable buy-in for a new one.So, is your ADHD medicated?
Yes, but we’ve been having a few hot days around here and temperatures over 30°C really degrade the effectiveness of the medication. I bought a sewing machine on Saturday.
Ha, good guess on my part, or game recognising game…
wh— ok that explains a lot about why I’m such a pansy about heat
i wonder if stimulants are biochemically less effective in heat, or it’s just that our brains have to also deal with the sensory overload of melting to death thus eating into the medication’s mitigation of dopamine deficit… or both perhaps
