Literally anything with tech, new hardware, new laptop, bigger VPS or another Raspberry Pi. My bedroom is starting to look like some back-alley tech store from a dystopian movie.

Oh and, to top it all off, Star Citizen.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 years ago

Star Citizen

My condolences.

[-] H2207@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Thanks, but I think my bank account would appreciate it more.

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

OMG I want a room like that! Multiple things are denying me to make that room.

[-] Spectranomica@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

See you out in the 'verse my in-game name is Tandy

[-] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

How bad is it? Your Star Citizen hangar value?

[-] H2207@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not too bad actually, a few hundred quid. Aurora MR game package which I quickly CCU'd to an Avenger Titan, some IAE 2952 red Artemis armour and a Prospector to make bank.

At least you haven't got the Linux austism in which you and no other IRL person talks about

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 16 points 2 years ago

If your city has a "Linux User Group" or maker/hackerspace thing, you might just find you're less alone than you previously thought.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 20 points 2 years ago

If you're good at science but not good at math, you still can't do it for a living.

[-] Skates@feddit.nl 13 points 2 years ago

Charles Darwin applied for an interview, you said? Yeah I've heard of him. Tell him to contact us when he's able to solve some differential equations. Literally unhireable fuck, who does he think he is.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There's a modern times Charles Darwin?

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

How can you be good at science if you're not good at math. Seriously asking a question here.

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Is is possible to be genuinely very good at designing all kinds of experiments and executing them wothout having any interest/significant capabilities in solving the statistical work involved. I think you see this a lot in medical science. Luckily science is almost always performed in teams where everyone has their own bot of expertise.

Also, there are the more qualitative (instead of quantitative) sciences like anthropology where you simply don’t need the strong math.

[-] snowe@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago

Collecting hobbies. Idk. I just pick up whatever fancies me at the time. I realize this is not possible for a lot of people, and I’m sad about that, but it’s really the only thing that keeps me going.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Same! I've picked up and put on hold rubik's cubes, lock picking, astronomy, astrophotography, and I'm currently getting more interested in chess than my ELO should allow

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just spent $890 on new golf clubs.

In my defence it was a birthday present to myself, but I haven't even played in 3 years and I was shit when I did. Just a few days watching golf shit on YouTube and here we are...

Hobbies are my smashed avo.

[-] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

I spend 1000€ on a stock and it went to zero.

[-] Murais@lemmy.one 9 points 2 years ago

Aquarium keeping.

Congratulations on your $3000 salt toilet.

[-] Illegal_Prime@dmv.social 8 points 2 years ago

People tend to think of flightsimming and trainsimming as expensive, since compared to other games they kind of are, but I look at Warhammer, and even model trains and feel considerably less bad.

That said model trains are cool, but I’d only want to do it as part of a club where I can split the cost with other people.

[-] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I had a model train set when I was a kid. I liked laying track and wiring everything up but didn't have the patience or creativity for scenery or theming.

[-] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

OMG, my kids have this type of autism!

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Shouldn’t have vaccinated them! /s

[-] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

IKR? Pesky ability to ward off dread diseases! 😉

[-] Gustephan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Warhammer 40k. I'm also a semi accomplished electrical engineer and currently working on a PhD in data science/machine learning, so at least I got the "good at math and science" variety to support my "expensive hobby" variety

[-] ThtCrzyBstrd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I just spent roughly $400 on paints, a combat patrol, a box of Harlequins for my wife, and a handful of DIY hobby bits last night.

This hobby is already bullying my wallet...

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Reading. You should try it too. You can literally get unlimited supplies for free from the local library.

[-] sudo22@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My attention span is so torched by the internet I can't anymore. Which makes me sad because I loved reading as a kid.

I do however still enjoy audiobooks while driving.

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This même it hard when you love 3d print

[-] Kyoyeou@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago

Ok, you see Planar Magnetics are very different from Dynamic Drivers, where as in your DD's (like we call them) we have a membrane moving from electri....

[-] riceandbeans161@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

i spent 2500€ on a guitar and it’s not even made in america, it’s a made in mexico fender

and i love it

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

At least that's not something that goes obsolete in 4-5 years like many things tech.

[-] riceandbeans161@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

yeah it’s already 12 years old and will probably last me the rest of my life. Nothing on it you can’t fix in one way or another.

[-] Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago

Mim can be better than Mia guitars sometimes

[-] riceandbeans161@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

i have a bunch of mim fenders and i have to agree, they’re fantastic instruments. And this Kurt Cobain Roadworn Jaguar is honestly the second best guitar i’ve ever played.

[-] dth@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
[-] sudo22@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I'm so sorry

[-] azurefirefly@lemmy.basedcount.com 4 points 2 years ago

My hobby is being normal, it's quite difficult

[-] OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

These days the most expensive hobby of mine is just keeping the fucking lights on. Electricity prices are insane now.

Aside from that though, I really like cooking and experimenting with recipes and flavour profiles, and regularly buy ingredients and fresh vegetables to be able to indulge this.

I go in and out of being deeply obsessed with painting too, so art supplies are taking up the rest of my budget lately.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

What's is the original is this meme?

[-] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Laser holography, it costs so fucking much :( :( :(
