>>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.

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.

I collect media from 70s-90s Japan, Europe (from this one also from the 2000s) and Argentina, (mostly anime and manga the former, mostly magazines and some shows/movies the other two) and my mind somehow became self convinced that I've lived there in those eras to the point I even dream or have fake memories of it.

Weird hobby of the past when I was a teenager is the following: I worked in fast food operating fryers and cleaning dishes at fried chicken restaurants so my skin would be extra oily and I already had oily skin.
Whenever I got home I would take a shower and scrape my face with a knife and scoop the grime up into my fingers and then rub it against the fly screen mesh window in the shower.
I ended up with a huge blob of muck in the window and would always collect more and more skin grease.
Very gross

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.

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.

You better build your home with fine security measures, now that you let the internet know you have those.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.
