Anyone here have weird, niche interests? I’m curious about this kind of thing. I like hearing about people dedicating their lives to one specific strange thing. Post about them here.

i watch twitch streams purely as vods, despite having an account from like 2014? if i remember correctly, i dont think ive watched a single live stream or interacted with other users or streamers. same situation for my positively ancienty twitter account, it just is a way to categorize people and check for updates. i dont know if ive retweeted, liked, commented, made a tweet, or sent any messages, followed… i wouldnt say it is a weird hobby, but it's a weird aspect that is universal among my internet behaviour, the lack of interacting with other people

I quit twitch years ago now. I never log in to any account or post using an identifiable handle if I can avoid it.

I have lost interest in every streamer I used to watch. If I can bear to watch a streamer, it's a vtuber. I guess I don't feel enough animosity towards succubi to not watch their streams. Simping is out of the question though.

Hobby and habit don't have the same meaning.
What you described isn't a hobby.

In video games, I will exclusively play what are considered "movement modes". For example: In CS Source I will play "surf" and "bunnyhopping" servers/maps, in TF2 there are rocketjump/stickyjump maps, in Quake 3 there are defrag maps. There are also climb maps in various games, and there's even more modes in older games. I play zero video games outside of these movement modes. If this is interesting to anyone, then add Momentum Mod to your Steam wishlist. It will be released in December, it'll be completely free, and will centralize all of these modes into 1 game with global leaderboards, tons of maps, and extra features etc.

I'm not surprised, I know how popular trains are with autists too. I just don't understand it at all. People who go to the train station with a camera and just hang around taking pics are a mystery to me.

Not sure if it's weird but here you go.

I organize*, collect porn and keep track of every fap I do with date and the video tied to it. I use a software I wrote to manage all of this and it has, after 4 years of development, reached quite a good amount of features in it.

I keep track of the faps I do so I can collect data on what videos, model, studio I like more and get more stuff of it.

At the moment I have 2.5TB organized.

I've also developed a sort of system that should suggest me on which model I should fap to based on total videos I have of her, last time I fapped to her and what type of videos she star in (interracial, foot-job, cuck ecc…).It's quite a complex algorithm is heavily based on my fap patterns I developed during time and kept track of thanks to this software.

If you're interested in it I'll leave some resource to other software like mine that can do similar stuff:

* With organize I mean tagging video with stuff like foot-fetish, blowjob, anal, squirting, ecc… and assigning a studio and models.

Cool, I am glad I am not the only one. Here is one which isn't anything special but it's from 2006 and with Azumanga wallpaper which always gives me a lot of nostalgia.

I can't believe 2006 is so far away now. It still feels like something that was just couple of years ago.

I'm sorry if it's too personal to ask but I'm really curious which country or continent you come from which has fostered such a stigma for such items. I'd also like to hear your reasoning for how anyone on the internet, especially a pseudonymous forum, could even figure out where he lives as to be a threat to his security.

There's no danger in owning those in most of the world. At the most, he should keep them displayed behind glass for their value as antiques, but owning them, wearing them, and sharing images of them poses is no risk to his personal security. I own many replicas of Nazi Germany items, including Nazi party armbands, flags, and "banned books". I was able to buy them from open displays at the community stall market where those items have been in stock and sold for nearly 15 years now. Many websites on the internet also sell replicas and real artifacts. I own guns with the original production mark swastikas on them. The only thing that's happened when I show people these items IRL and OTI is them expressing they same interest they have in same-period Allied and USSR items. If someone takes offense, it's their problem, not mine.

Please acknowledge that your worrisome nature is your burden to bear, not others'. Trying to convince a man that he should feel fear at something so menial as ungrounded human opinions is an atrocious thing.

>Anyone here have weird, niche interests?

I don't think you could consider them "weird", some of them are weird (in relation to the culture where I live).

>experimental and alternative music

>playing many instruments and music recording
>philosophy (specifically existentialism)
>alcohol and drugs
>skincare
>minimalism
>running, hiking, walking long distances
>weightlifting and exercising
>literature (specially literature in my language, manga and non-cape comics)
>internet forums
>cooking (specially pescetarian diet)

That's pretty much it for me. I'm heavily immersed in all of these hobbies and I engage them almost every single day. Being an autistic wizard has its perks.

Old "show your desktop" threads on vidya, modding, and 3DCG forums were a goldmine until recently. With sites like Imageshack, Photobucket and such purging old images, the windows in to people's history on computers are being shut.

I've returned to fanfiction thanks to ai.
I know it's common sense that writing things yourself is better than having "some machine doing that for you."

To make a long story short: this is a severe exception if you've unfortunately read the bigass fic I wrote a decade ago of which it serves as a prequel to..

Also I wrote another story that practically needed ai, even if sparingly, to perfectly encapsulate an effect I was aiming for.
