What are your other expensive non-keyboard hobbies?
« on: Mon, 21 May 2018, 17:57:49 »
Not counting ones I had as a kid,

Bicycles - I have a road bike (same one since 2005 though), single suspension mountain bike, and fixed gear. I'm not as interested in this lately, but mountain biking has been a fun new aspect to cycling in the last few years.
Firearms - I haven't bought anything in a few years. I got tired of politics causing price swings and scarcity.
PC hardware - I think I'm fairly restrained in this now. I built my PC in 2013 and haven't upgraded anything since except for the case; well, and I added more RAM. I'm waiting to get a new graphics card since my current one died. I'm living off a friend's old donated GPU now. I'm waiting until the 1180 is released to buy a new one.
Knives - Not really into this much, but I have more folding pocket knives than the average person. Same with flashlights.
Paintball - I've tried getting back into this in the last few years, but it seems to have really died off in the last 15 years or so. I also usually feel disappointed after playing because of equipment malfunctions and such. Idk if I'll stick with it.
Cameras - I always dreamt of getting a really awesome DSLR, but I never did.
Weightlifting equipment - The garb isn't super expensive, but I'm planning on putting a power rack in my garage soon, which will probably be at least $1500, since I've decided I hate going to the gym since there are other people there (and because the equipment is crap).

That's all I can think of at the moment


Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.

Prop replicas. (definition).
Could be as expensive as you like. I would say that I spend more time than money though.
I used to do Star Wars cosplaying, which is how got I started with prop replicas.

If we are talking all of that being alcoholic beverages, that amount is known to be harmful for your health even if you don't get hammered every time. I would suggest cutting down.

Yeah, I was estimating each drink to cost at most $10, which is what is common over here and is considered expensive in an international comparison.

I don't really indulge much in my expensive hobbies because... well... money. But here goes:

  • Computers. Easily the most money sucking hobby of mine. Every year I get about 350 to 385 back in Property Tax Credit, and it usually goes to either my computer or my mom's. This year it got her an i3 8100, 8GB of DDR4 2666 RAM, an Asrock B360 Pro 4 motherboard and two 140mm case fans to replace the one that basically exploded on her and the one that's going out. On the first it will be rounded off with a new case, which will have those two fans transferred to the top exhaust.
  • Keyboards. To be fair, I spend a heck of a lot more on keyboards for a certain smoker in my household (who honestly asks for them whether she needs a replacement or not--she's far more of an enthusiast than me lol) than I do myself. But that is still two RK-9000's, a Unicomp Ultra Classic and an Adesso Tenkeyless with blue switches by itself, not to mention the keyboards I still use and the one that was murdered by a stray cola.
  • Fossil shark teeth. That is all.
T1000 , Firmware ver. Doge.

Most deadly of them all.
Keyboards: Drevo Gramr (Outemu Browns); Logitech K480

Other than keyboards, I have a collection of
  • pointing devices (trackballs, a few mice, a couple of trackpads and rollermice),
  • mostly vintage headphones (this actually isn't all that expensive either, if you don't blow money on amps, can find cans like Sennheiser HD 540 Reference for $50 and be happy with them),
  • obscure portable computers with mostly open Linux systems (this is also cheap, considering that I still use a 10yo Nokia N800, but stuff like OpenMoko back in the day, then OpenPandora or now Pyra can get expensive—like custom keyboards from very limited group buys),
I've mostly given up on photography and can't even make myself build a newer PC (my current computer is a top of the line refurbished thinkpad that I got by accident, I was looking for something much less powerful and cheaper originally).

I could dump piles of cash into sports, but avoid it too.
  • Alpine skiing. I'm very good at it, but don't work out hard enough to get full enjoyment out of it.  If I did, upgrading my current cheap-ish gear would get very expensive, and a day of skiing is both expensive and comes with a large overhead (such as traveling).
  • Biking. I got a decent MTB for daily commute, but gave up on maintenance. Not worth it compared to walking + public transport (where I can read).
  • Archery. Tried it as a kid, it fascinates me, but decent gear is expensive. Generally, it's recommended to join a club and rent a starter bow based on their recommendation… I can't get myself to join a club in the first place, though.
So, I'm cheap, but I might eventually go back to school, though, which is an expensive lifestyle choice in a way.

I like recording, producing, and mixing my own music. Music equipment and software can get expensive, and gear/plugin acquisition is similarly addicting and it's really easy to accidentally go on a binge.

I also have 2 kids but they are little so don't have hobbies yet. Going to try to save money by making them like what I like. If that fails, I guess I'll support whatever they want to do. I didn't get to have a lot of hobbies growing up because we were poor, so I'd like to live vicariously through them.

I also play chess, but that's cheap af after you buy a decent set and a chess clock.

I also love boxing... I guess PayPerViews can get expensive, but they don't happen too often. If I wanted to get back into the workout side of it, the equipment would be a one-time money dump but then it's also cheap af.

Besides children, most of my other hobbies didn't really begin until after college--when I got my first job and excess cash!

As a kid, I enjoyed reading and playing video games. I still enjoy both, but nowadays I borrow books from the library and go after retro games (pre-PS2/GCN/Xbox).
After college, my hobbies in chronological order were:
fountain pens,
playing cards,
tabletop games,
toys (mostly Japanese action figures), and finally
mechanical keyboards.

The three I still continuously enjoy are reading, video games, and keyboard paraphernalia. I still like fountain pens, but do not use them enough to justify frequent purchases. I love me my European-style board games as well, but my friends with whom I used to play have all moved away so I don't play them much anymore.


Addendum:
I guess I also enjoy lifting weights more, especially as of this year. In high school I was active in sports throughout all three seasons, and since then have kept exercise in my life in some mode or another.

Post addendum:
Whoops; exercise isn't really "expensive" for me as I get a membership at my office building's gym.  :rolleyes:

I don't really have a number in mind.

Hrrmm.. Ok ya'll know how an aluminum case keyboard is $300, but in utility / performance, it's the same as $20 mechanical keyboards from pluggable..

So... I don't want $300 aluminum case... I want the performance without the fuss..

These are all more expensive than keyboards.

Cars: Built a single turbo mkiv supra in college, ran 10s consistently at the track. Was into the modded car scene for about 5 years there. Recently not so much, but I still spend too much on cars and do car related things from time to time.

Car models: I have like 100 1:18 diecast cars displayed in lit glass cases. So yeah.

Japanese kitchen cutlery: Starting in about 2007 I started getting into the hand forged, custom order, traditional Japanese kitchen knife community (yanagiba, deba, gyuto, and a million other styles) and at one point had over 50 of those. Reduced that to around 20 now.

Musical Instruments: As a woodwind player I've owned everything from variously sized saxophones to contrabass clarinets, flutes, baroque and renaissance recorders, and fancy clay ocarinas. Bought a semi fancy synthesizer at one point. Played throughout college in various groups and even afterward, but currently my work schedule doesn't really allow for it.

I think the conventional accepted age is actually 33. In some book of the bible one of the apostles mentioned jesus was 30, then approximately 2-3 years passed from that point to when he was crucified.

Only reason I know is that a friend had this poster and his dad would always say, "Jesus should be on there too ya know."

I think the conventional accepted age is actually 33. In some book of the bible one of the apostles mentioned jesus was 30, then approximately 2-3 years passed from that point to when he was crucified.

Children.
Jesus Christ, but you're really young, aren't you? Oo

Next year I'll be the same age Jesus was when he was crucified.  :'(
Oh, I seem to remember a picture of you where you looked about 20 xD .

Oh, I think I uploaded an old photo where I actually was 20 in that pic!

Cars
Guns
Motorcycles
PC stuff

Used to have ~30 guns or so, but sold most of em after the new bull**** CA "assault rifle" laws. Really regret getting rid of the Scar 17 though.

My spending on the above hobbies has pretty much stopped besides maintenance, although I'm prolly gonna be getting a faster bike next year. Ninja 300 is a bit too slow lol, awesome just for commuting though.

Traveling.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
