mechanical keyboards
Thank fuck vintage boards are cheaper than new. Those $1000 plus topre things scare me. I love my $20 recycling center alps board.
Not anymore. During my hunt for BTC keyboards, I hiked their price, especially the less common 5140 keyboards.
Is that BTC dws or BTC F&F? If it is f&f I might be able to hook you up
That is a dws (I even documented it on Desktority), but I do have a f&f already.

Add some gunpowder in the keys… for that extra clacky clack
as a bonus if you add too much it blows off your finger
holy shit it’s the modern incarnation of that one looney tunes joke

i was fine with being a software dev but nooooooo i just HAD to get in to FPV
Nothing quite like flying
looking at all my photography gear
Fuck.
All I want is a Lumix S5 and an M42 to Leica L adaptor. That’s not expensive. Haha.
But seriously, my undisclosed musical intrument was more expensive than that. No, I don’t actually use it. Yes, that’s unfortunate.
Did you buy a hurdy gurdy?
No, but a violin. Now I want a hurdy gurdy though
I’ve been drooling over the Lumix S1R since it launched, I’d love to get it but my bank account keeps telling me no.
I’ve got a Lumix G9 currently, I love it I just wish adapting old lens to it were easier
One day we’ll get 'em. One day
That’s the spirit
Don’t let your dreams just be dreams, turn them into goals
looking at getting a mirror-less with full frame sensor even though I’ve never owned a DSLR
I’ve got a Lumix G9 so I might be a bit biased
But honestly go with the camera body that’s right on the edge of your budget
Having a full frame camera is really nice though I’ve got a Micro 4/3 camera. Basically if you want to adapt lenses having a full frame sensor makes all that easier.
when you get video game autism
What if it’s the speedrunner variant?
I have the try to 100% while not enjoying it variety. I hate it but I can’t stop 😕
That, but paired with don’t-know-what-to-play ADHD
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.
sounds like you got ADHD twice
AD4K
AKA 84K
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
Computers: High entry cost, much lower cost afterward if you don’t respect copyright law.
copyleft is where it’s at
This is the way 😎
Hey, some cool older cars can be had for around 3-5k if you’re willing to put $30,000 worth of work into them
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.
Just reading that reminded me of a half-dozen projects that I haven’t touched beyond buying the parts for. And another bunch that are mostly working, but could really use some finishing touches so they aren’t as jank, but they made it to the barely functional stage, so that’s where they’ll probably stay until they fail enough to get any of my attention.
Computer, video games and furry. The first two are affordable at least. Ain’t never gonna be able to get a fur suit 😩

i feel ya, in the end money just trumps everything
But making money is such a fkin pain
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.
Removed by mod
My hobbies are scuba, underwater photography, woodworking, and guns.
I’m basically a war criminal as far as my wallet is concerned.
Cries in swordsmithing and longsword training
I got 2 out of the 3, but science doesn’t pay for expensive hobbies.
My degree is certainly paying for my 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
