What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Sim racing isn't necessarily too quirky or obscure but I do it to maintain some sort of maybe possibly ADHD. Doing laps around a track really helps with getting myself used to focusing.

It's especially helpful because each lap around a race track tends to be only 1 - 2 minutes, which is a relatively easy amount of time to keep focus at any one point in time, but keeping it up for consecutive laps and remaining consistent as time builds up in small increments is a different kind of joy to me.

only 1-2 minutes

Cries in Nurburgring 24H layout.

Cries? That's literally my favorite race and track

[-] trashxeos@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, for sure, I just was making a comment about the difference in laptimes. It's literally the one event I refuse to miss each year lol.

Hahaha unfortunately Circuit de la Sarthe is my absolute limit when it comes to track length, though even on the Mulsanne Straight I end up spacing out. It's like a mini break

Yeah, I don't get along with that track, too much straight and the curves just don't turn the crank when they do arrive.
