I bought a bike frame in 2015 and collected the parts to build it up. Started again recently except now I’m second guessing the shifters, and what if I went for a different gear range, and is this headlight mounting bracket really the best option for the dynamo headlight, and…
Yeah, it’s not leaving the garage any time soon.
So relatable
I’m trying, honest!
I just get paralyzed right as I try to start!
It fucking hurts when I finish a day, can’t muster the energy to start on one of my projects, then just sit there hating myself while I waste another day doing shit I don’t enjoy (scrolling memes) rather than doing something I do enjoy (ANY OF MY GOD DAMNED HOBBIES!)
Tomorrow though, tomorrow I’m starting a print job for film holders for my new (to me) 4x5 camera and hell or high water putting at least one brush stroke on my Orc Marauders Battle Truck model (it’s for One Page Rules, an approachable tabletop war game)
The key is to not do hobbies alone.
nah, we good
You mean actually read the books in my library? Doesn’t sound healthy!
Read the books and play the games
the games too?! Including all of the games in my DriveThruRPG library?

I still have unopened boardgames, :(
I have opened them all, but a number of them have remained unplayed, because I keep forgetting to bring them with me to game night, or to read the manual before going to game night, and thus hiding those in the bag because I don’t know how to play them anymore.
was thinking this looking at the stack of models I have unassembled.
feck
I hoard an do them so much that i have lost one of my former hobbys: gaming
hoarding is one of my hobbies, yes. don’t go in the garage unless you want to be added to the pile
protip: leave the people in your will with a map to find your treasures in the horde.
because oh holy fuck is it hard making sense of what’s in those stacks when they have to move on to other housing or die.
“Ugh, really? Do we need to rent a second dumpster to get rid of more stuff they hid somewhere else? WTF? They didn’t even leave us enough money for the first dumpster!”
- People reading your will
no doubt.
I guess I should start playing my games then. I have like 1800 games on Steam, only 30% were opened and around 20% have more than one hour of play time registered.
Not every game deserves more than 1 hour of your time, tho. I have some stuff that I got from bundles that just aren’t what I enjoy, plus at least 2 off the top of my head that you can experience everything it has to offer in under an hour
I’m the same. I looked through my most played games and games that i felt like I’ve played for ages are actually only have 1-2 hours playtime. I’m convinced there was a time when steam didn’t always track play time. It has to be gaslighting me surely?
Hoarding hobbies is a hobby.
I always compare myself to a Hobby Magpie. I’m hopping around, looking for shinies, may scream at a preteen idk 🐦
I switched jobs earlier this year and this is how I introduced myself when being asked what my hobbies were. At least I have a vast, persisting knowledge of things I will never need again, so I’m incredibly fun at parties.
I spent the last 20 years hoarding things I could do when I retire. Am now retired so am doing them
I’m hoping I can retire peacefully and not need to work. Only 29 years to go
Keep an eagles eye on your savings and don’t let the people managing it fee you to death
It’s the govt in my case, Brazil’s retirement fund is govt owned/controlled. What tends to happen every 10 years is a “reform” that pushes forward the minimum requirements for retirement. Up to 2000 or so, men could retire at 60, nowadays it’s at 65. One of the “reforms” aroudn 2016 allowed banks to offer private retirement
Me looking at my minis, only 1/3rd painted.
I’m in this meme and I don’t like it.
My collecting of disc golf disc is the hobby, not playing disc golf!
I spun up an instance of Planka to help me keep track of my hobbies. It’s really nice when I’m feeling bored to open that up and be able to see the status of all my hobbies or projects so I can just jump right back into any one of them. Really helps to keep me sane. It’s a godsend.
