Hobbies
A fellow SCAdian?
That one popped up on my radar, but I typically tilt toward hobbies which are literally productive.
CDs! i love putting albums in my stereo and listening to them :)
I started collecting CDs a few months back because I got fed up of not owning my music, now I’m looking into refurbished mini pcs to use as a server for it all.
A charity shop nearby sold 10 CDs in mystery packs for the price of one normal cd so my collection grew pretty quick, some of the stuff is shit but some of the CDs were multi disk compilations that have really helped bulk it out.
i personally like buying exactly what I want, if my trash shelf gets too full its time to clean up! if I had the room though I’d totally just buy batches of them wherever I can find
I’ve started collecting specific things now but at the start I just wanted to build up my library. It’s pretty rare to find my favourites even when buying new stuff though. The random packs helped me to find some new songs at least.
Rares are not easy, you need to hunt on eBay, discogs and local stores. I found to 2 rare vinyls the past year, had a big luck.
Ps: discogs is good for cataloging your cd and vinyls.
Regrets.
Physical PS5 games
My condolences.
Guitars.
I mean I actually do use all of them. Most of them. Some of them.
…
One of them.
But the other ones looked so pretty.
You get me.
I started a british tea towel collection. But than I figured out that life is ridiculously expensive, so I haven’t traveled abroad in 20 years. My tea towel collection is still 3.
Knives, flashlights, and books.
Interesting mix. What do you look for in a new acquisition?
I don’t take it too seriously. For knives it has to do with the metal quality. You don’t want pot metal knives. For flashlights it has to be L.E.D.S. I really like Olight. For books, it is mostly occult or esoteric if non fiction. For fiction I prefer fantasy and urban fantasy , like the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
I have a thing for gentleman knives, especially those made from particular materials. Böker has recently released one made from meteorite steel which I adore. But since these knives are VERY expensive I can’t justify this passion to my wife, so I never started collecting.
Bokers are awesome, I can’t afford them sadly. I can’t justify dropping $200 plus on a knife.
Seeds, firewood, axes and tools, information, collaborators and community, ammo, firearms; though my collection is set and not planning more. Silver and gold but haven’t bought in years.
Godzilla toys - I have hundreds of Godzilla figures I don’t know why but they make me happy.
At least they make you happy.
Godzilla will never go out for a pack of smokes and not come back.
Experience from bad decisions.
Good judgement come from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.
Pirated TV series, specifically those that are finished.
I stopped because I don’t want it to overtake my living space more but X-Men figures.
At my age, wrinkles.
