>>49409 i like to google "wiktionary <word>" for random words i come across, to see the etymology of it. i do it several times a day and enjoy it so i think it's a hobby. it kills some time but i don't think i've learned anything doing it.

Solid state electronics restoration, usually 60s to 80s but I’ll watch peeps on YouTube restore stuff much much earlier and get pretty much the same enjoyment.

this is not the full extent of my hobbies
i am autistic and I really, really, really like languages. if I could, I would really enjoy teaching something like linguistics or language history.

>>50022Drawing isn't strange, but not all drawings are the same. If you focus your art on odd things that most don't care about it is niche. Like how video games are normal but certain games are niche.

>>49409-I like Advanced Squad leader, one of the most complex (if not THE most complex) boardgames ever. Tons of rules etc.
-I also like Ars Magica, an obscure game about (guess) wizards. I hope to create a thread one day about it. Wizards there are very repulsive to mundane folk, heh, is kinda fitting to this board. The game is also has a lot of record keeping / calculations and takes medieval paragdims and rpg simulations very seriously. I design my own wizards, covenants, advance them etc.
-Traveller is a sci-fi rpg a bit less complex than ars but I love spending my time creating systems/worlds/ships there.
-I also like japanesse riichi Mahjong and ss13. I think these are more close to "normal" hobbies. But might still be weird to the masses.
and besides the multiplayer mahjong and ss13 I almost always spend my time on those alone. I lack the means and the social capacity to meet up with 40-50 y.o. boomers who are the only people interested in these things anyways.

My current aim is to build the best porn library I can that suits my need.
I do this by keeping a track of how many time I masturbate to videos and weed out the ones who have the least amount of faps after some time and keep the ones who have the most.
I'll declare it finished at some point, hopefully.

I bought two radios in thrift store and also cheapest fm transmitters, took radios apart and tweak with the electronics, recording the results. There is a term like circuit bending, but I don't know if it really fits here. Hope to discover methods of alternating/ modulating music I play through the "ensemble". As far I'd only get white noise, chirps and high pitch sine wave-like sounds, nothing interesting really, but there are still many possibilities. Other than than I put the transmitter on the same frequency as the radio, connect transmitter to a microphone and get some radio feedback that has different sound depending on the placement between the devices.
Also, it's fun to play two loops on neighboring frequencies and switch between them, creates sort of a collage of sound or something.
I didn't really find anything on the internet about such things, so it's always nice to feel as a pioneer.
Among other things, internet really robs you of that feel all to often imo.

Not weird, but kinda niche.
Mathematical and spherical astronomy. Computing celestial phenomena. Also celestial mechanics.
Calendars too, and I'm also interested in how ancient cultures modelled the celestial motions to predict events. I haven't yet, but I want to read into how the mayans did this.

>>53309>>55904Hey I read your posts and picked up ASL(the starter kit#1) after researching it a bit. i've never been into board games like this other than monopoly but to be totally honest what drew me in was the tokens and the simplistic look and feel of the game. i'm very put off by a lot of tabletop games and board games with garish colors and tokens not to mention the subject matter. watching video of it now as well, maybe we can play together one day :)
