    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.

    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.

      Nothing wrong with having a hobby of watching golf videos and having the option to go golfing if you want to. There’s worse hobbies out there. Like doing meth or sculpting dragon dildos

        I used to rock climb a lot but sustained a couple very bad injuries, resulting in all of my muscle going as I couldn’t climb for 18 months. Now it’s depressing struggling on what used to he warm ups.

        I’m hoping golf gets me back outside more frequently and helps with the long recovery.

        If not, whoops… But I will take this excuse to feel less guilty spending money on hobby lol

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

    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

      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…
