>>57000Not at all. You see A LOT of normal people on Lego conventions, not only that but most of the more impressive builds out there are made by guys with engineering degrees and two kids that he loves to bring to the event.
Building Lego as an adult is not even weird anymore I don't think, there are several sets obviously targeted at fully capable adults.

>>57001>Building Lego as an adult is not even weird anymore I don't thinkYeah a lot of people seem to use it to chill out now. A lot of men are kind of nerdy now and enjoy little creative projects, especially ones that don't feel like work.

>>56997Model train guys are very social with each other and often hang out at the local shop talking shit for hours at a time. If you want actual autistic hobbies you need to look at bird or train watching. You can do it solo for the cost of a notepad.

>collecting Pokémon trading cardsNormalfag as it comes. Youtube just had a boom in pokemon pack openings. Made a shit load of channels big from buying packs. It screwed over people wanting older packs because the youtubers sky rocketed the packs.

>>57016>Pornography is less harmful than trainsWhat the fuck?
No.57019
>>57016OP here, most of that isn't what I'm getting at. Like it has things like idols, seiyuu, and anime listed in the crazy/harmful field, but none of those take any investment or ability. They're just passive consumption of low brow material. Anyone who is a loser can do it.
No.57020
autism in this context is merely obsession. pick anything and go balls to the wall in specializing in it and you'll be the type of "autistic" you're looking for.

>>56997I have been obsessed with firearms, mostly longguns, for many many years. It's something I'm very embarassed to talk about because the few times I've brought it up people start joking about me being a danger which makes me sad. I've had a long autistic obsession with mechanics of things like engines too but firearms is what really stuck with me. I had a phase where I would look at patents and recreate all the working parts out of hardened paper maché and thin sheet metal to make mechanical copies that could feed, have a working fire control group and eject cartridges but of course not fire. Though I havent been able to make anything recently because every time I try I get reminded of people laughing at me.
There is something I find very beautiful in a machine that can run like an engine and throw peices of metal at thousands of feet per second tens, hundreds or even thousands of times a minute all fitting into a small package working purely mechanically. Such delicate precission turning into chaotic destruction. It's so very sad that people have to think I like violence, war or death to apreachiate such fine machinery
No.57039
>>57005>>57007>>57014It is not uncommon to see socials who get into religion, particularly east-asian religions such as buddhism and hinduism, mostly for the social value.
However, not a single one of them would be actually serious and learn sanskrit to read all the original literature, they instead engage in groupthink.
I guess the answer is: learn sanskrit or hebrew and actually study god.
Another one that fits the bill squarely is playing Core War.

>>57037Technologically speaking, guns are marvellous creations.
I especially like the small kind. I know next to nothing, but a colt, or a revolver seems is what I like.
I might buy one soon.
No.57111
I'm not sure what I would call it to refer to it casually, but I like to combine knowledge of different, usually unrelated things. For example, making a mini hydroponics system you can control and monitor from some device would be a combination of botany, fluid mechanics, general handyman skills, programming, and networking skills. You might call it tinkering but the best part of it is the study and learning process of acquiring the skills you think you need, and learning from each successive failure until you get it just right!
I also really like models and displays, like pic related. A whole world full of happiness and comfy all built by me!

No.57172
>>57169I don’t make them for actual use, they are just a hobby of mine and something to do with my hands while I watch something on the computer or listen to music. If I wanted to I could make a variety of different firearms like the FGC9 or MOD9 but I don’t have any need for one and I would only risk getting buttfucked by government.
No.57176
>>57172Nice wiz, keep at it. Have you considered making cap guns? The kind that just make a pop and smoke with those red ring or paper strip caps. As a kid I had a miniature replica Kar98 and MP40 that articulated fully, and a single cap could be put in the chamber. They were only a few inches long but great fun
No.57182
>>57176Yes, if I put a cap in the place of the primer these guns would make a bang as they still have moving firing pins/hammers/strikers

>>57025>vintage computing (altair, dec, vax, imsai)Regrettably, this is becoming more of a normalfag endeavor because of channels like CGR and others. Granted, it's mostly focused on consumer hardware that could play games, and not so much the enterprise/educational/scientific stuff.
No.57539
>>57538you need to make images with extremely higher resolutions. printers have a really high dpi. otherwise you have weird cases where the distances between ticks isnt uniformly increasing
No.57568
>>57538I once made an astrolabe. All I did was to take a template I found on the internet, and as precisely as I could I copied them into a vector image using inkscape. Then I lasercut it into pieces of mdf board and put them together. The laser cutter also engraved the lines for the altitude and stuff. The characters (numbers and names for stars in some cases) weren't printed because the svg file stored them as glyphs instead of paths.
Ever since I've wanted to o it properly. The altitude plates are made with mathematics, and now that I've been learning postscript I may perhaps be able to do it, but it's not one of my current goals. I have also learned some about fonts and unicode and all that, perhaps I could include some zodiac signs in the ecliptic (those old alchemical signs).
Anyway, fun fun fun. Good luck with that.

anyone who is into that shit is 100% autist. normies joke about it, but i see them everywhere. skinny, middle-aged men watching the trains. they look happy, wish I could be happy…
