I’ve always done gaming but nobody does LAN parties around here and I have no friends.
I am like on the very edge of buying stuff to try to learn to shoot and develop film. I’m not a good photographer, it is going to be so expensive, but for some reason it’s a skill I keep wanting to learn for like years
Low-recurring cost hobbies are neat even if you need several hundred or thousand bucks worth of gear to get into them—mountain biking (or maybe cross-country skiing?)!
They said growing weed is cheap… It is fun though.
Beyond equipment, good genetics can cost a pretty penny or two.Genetics may be expensive but rooting hormone powder is cheap! Also don’t buy fancy grow lights. Shop lights are way cheaper and work just fine!
Ah go on, get into warhammer. You know you always wanted to :)
Having a buddy with the same hobby can be great! Share equipment!
A little magic the gathering never hurt anyone (warhammer was already mentioned)
Universes beyond got me pulling the rip cord and bouncing from that hobby.
3D printing fits the bill, just get a hobby level printer that requires tinkering. I’m still rocking dual Ender 3s from 5 years ago.
And even if you get a printer that doesn’t require as much tinkering, like Bambu ones, then you can just get way to into 3D modeling instead!
Oh cool! Didn’t see there was a dedicated community!
I’ll crosspost it!
I was going to thank you for introducing me to this new community.
Turns out I’m already joined.
…why are these not in my feed except once every few days then???
Maybe because there is only a new post every few days?
Never in history have we had this much free knowledge into new interests and skills so easily accessible for us. There are a huge number of options that are really cheap.
When people go to Netflix, they open the app, and scroll for 45 minutes trying to find the perfect movie or show.
Then they pass out on their couch in their underwear as their cat licks their ear to wake them up. Even the cat is like “c’mon dude. It’s bedtime”
And then you wake up the next day, and suddenly you got 40 missed notifications because your dad had a seizure last night, and is in the hospital. You would have heard the phone ring, but you were asleep. If you had been engaged, and watching the 1993 movie Super Mario Bros, you’d have heard your phone. But you got overwhelmed by choice, and fell asleep instead.
Now your dad thinks he’s Rodger Ebert, so he has started dressing in balerina tutu’s. You try to explain to him that Rodger Ebert never wore tutus. And he says “YES I DO!” as he starts doing dance moves from the 1950s.
All this because you couldn’t decide what to watch in your hubris of options!
