Thank fuck vintage boards are cheaper than new. Those $1000 plus topre things scare me. I love my $20 recycling center alps board.

looking at all my photography gear

Fuck.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No, but a violin. Now I want a hurdy gurdy though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

looking at getting a mirror-less with full frame sensor even though I've never owned a DSLR

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Computers: High entry cost, much lower cost afterward if you don't respect copyright law.

copyleft is where it's at

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This is the way 😎

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Computer, video games and furry. The first two are affordable at least. Ain't never gonna be able to get a fur suit 😩

My hobbies are scuba, underwater photography, woodworking, and guns.

I'm basically a war criminal as far as my wallet is concerned.

Overpriced science hobby. 😢

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I fold origami cranes from less than 1x1 cm paper that I cut myself. I'm quite good on terms of price per hour

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I got 2 out of the 3, but science doesn't pay for expensive hobbies.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lego, vinyl records, safety razors, guns, books, knives, flashlights, woodworking, Arduinos and raspberry pi's...

So many barely fleshed out hobbies.

Photography (Sony A7IV), 3d printing (Bamboo labs), motorcycles(BMW S1kRR, the best gears ATGAT), computers and networking(custom-built pfsense and the entire house is wired on 10Gbe and some 2.5Gbe), Home automation (home assistant), security cameras(4k and 8k cameras on frigate w/google coral). The list goes on and on. The good thing is I already have the best of most of my hobbies and "remembering" my old passion, I don't have to spend too much more to get back in.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I love comics and Lego. They are both so PRICEY

life is just unfair af, it seems like it doesn't matter if what issue anyone is struggling with, all that matter is output

And it takes forever for me to generate the ouput that others just generate so easily and so fast

Looks at 35 year old 4x4 parked in my driveway

I don't need to be called out like this.
