i was fine with being a software dev but nooooooo i just HAD to get in to FPV

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Nothing quite like flying

[–] Zoop 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know what FPV means, but my brain is reading it as 'feline papilloma virus,' so I'm choosing to believe that it's a thing and it's a special interest of yours and that you're just randomly mentioning it...and also randomly mentioning the additionally unrelated fact that you're a software dev.

Mhm, yes. This makes sense.

fpv stands for "first person view", but it commonly refers to putting a small camera and tv transmitter on a drone and then flying as if your on the drone like this. feline papilloma virus on the other hand...

looking at all my photography gear

Fuck.

All I want is a Lumix S5 and an M42 to Leica L adaptor. That's not expensive. Haha.

But seriously, my undisclosed musical intrument was more expensive than that. No, I don't actually use it. Yes, that's unfortunate.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been drooling over the Lumix S1R since it launched, I'd love to get it but my bank account keeps telling me no.

I've got a Lumix G9 currently, I love it I just wish adapting old lens to it were easier

One day we'll get 'em. One day

That's the spirit

when you get video game autism

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That, but paired with don't-know-what-to-play ADHD

I only have one of them officially diagnosed, but I'll have to mention the other one on my next appointment for sure.

Because my god, it's so obvious, now that I know a bit more about neurodivergence

Fuck the experience, hi Concerta my friend :3

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Computer, video games and furry. The first two are affordable at least. Ain't never gonna be able to get a fur suit 😩

[–] wintrparkgrl 1 points 1 year ago

Do what I do with my expensive hobbies. Learn how to make your own fursuit. Start with simple sewing and work your way up. Once you get there you can make other fursuits for $

I got Autism, ADHD, Depression, and the secret ingredient: Maladaptive Daydreaming!

I am a finely tuned machine for endless hours of staring at a wall looking at fun pictures in my head.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

sounds like you got ADHD twice

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

That was my childhood.

I wanted to be a musician, but instruments were expensive.

Now I'm a software developer, and depakene killed my rhythm sense and absolute pitch, so best I can do is put together some demo that underrepresents the capabilities of my software synthesizers. (I really need to switch anti-seizure medications, as it also acts as an ADHD worsener, a sleep worsener (melatonin does negate it for the most part, except for the harder wake-up times), and an anti-psychiatry argument (it's also a mood stabilizer, which I don't need), but I don't have money for private doctors, public healthcare in our country only exists as a last resort and a show case)

I got 2 out of the 3, but science doesn't pay for expensive hobbies.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Overpriced science hobby. 😢

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Photography (Sony A7IV), 3d printing (Bamboo labs), motorcycles(BMW S1kRR, the best gears ATGAT), computers and networking(custom-built pfsense and the entire house is wired on 10Gbe and some 2.5Gbe), Home automation (home assistant), security cameras(4k and 8k cameras on frigate w/google coral). The list goes on and on. The good thing is I already have the best of most of my hobbies and "remembering" my old passion, I don't have to spend too much more to get back in.

[–] Tathar@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

Sometimes it's a two-for-one deal!

[–] Violette@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I love comics and Lego. They are both so PRICEY

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 8 months ago

Video games and electronic DIY stuff... And what really pisses me off is that in the current age, there are so many neat parts to use but RadioShack doesn't exist anymore! 😬

[–] Exia@feddit.cl 2 points 1 year ago

Gunplas. And I need the math god autism to buy overpriced plastic.
