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?

        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 😅

      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
