Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

I have autism and ADHD, so all of them:

  • Cycling
  • Bicycle touring
  • Skateboarding
  • Vert Skateboarding
  • Freestyle Skateboarding
  • Retro Video Gaming
  • Drawing
  • Reading
  • Programming and Raspberry Pi's

That's only my 30's which is the last 4 years. Hobbies for me are normally short and fierce obsessions when I start, they eventually slow down into a more 'normal' pasttime that I do sometimes to past the time.

Wait did you start skateboarding in your 30s and skate a vert ramp within a couple years?

[-] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Haha no ive been skating aqut 20 years. Vert was most of my 20s until I switched to freestyle after a lot of broken bones

edit: I stll occasionally skate a vert or large miniramp so still grab the occasional shaped deck or slider rails

  • Speed Cubing
  • Aggressive Inline Skating
  • Magic The Gathering
  • Misc. Video Games
  • Self Hosting
  • Historical European Martial Arts (Swordfighting with a Longsword especially)

Those are the ones for me. Yeah turned 30 this year as well. No Autism (probably) but have ADHD.

Programming is my job, so I don't define that as a hobby ๐Ÿ˜…

LoL I feel that so hard but I'm way to cheap and frugal so everything I do is done used and on a budget to keep me from going overboard so I generally only end up spending a couple hundred max before it turns into a part-time that I pull out on occasion while looking for something to distract me from impending doomerism
