    Megagames!

    They’re a cross between role playing games and board games, for many players (30-50 or higher, my max is 250). Watch this video if you want to know more: https://youtu.be/hN71v9H_gg8

    This is my jam. I’ll be exhausted but there’s so much going on, it’s insane. They’re 1 day events, and having a beer with the other players afterwards is where loads more stories come out. I’ve done serious crisis simulation, whimsical fantasy games, historical games, war games, and all kinds of games in between. If this appeals to you, there’s a calendar of upcoming games here https://www.megagameassembly.com/megagame-calendar

        It’s always good to join 3dprinting@lemmy.world but the best resource is Youtube. There are a lot of different creators that talk about different parts of the process. From which machine to choose, to calibrating it for the first time.

        The “getting into” part of 3d printing is buying the machine the rest of the time is you trouble shooting wtf is going wrong lol so there isn’t one specific place.

    Lately of a poem-writing spree, with words toying, feeling very free, I’ve been enjoying greatly.

    Latest hobby is photography, I had a camera for Christmas after not having a camera with interchangeable lenses in decades. I like that it gets me out the house as like nature/landscape/train photography.

    Long standing hobbies are mechanical keyboards and coffee, espresso and pour over.

    Keyboards I have really slowed down my purchases to just two or three new keyboards each year.

    Coffee I have not purchased anything other than beans in a long time, but I still want to upgrade my espresso machine (marax) at some point.

    Is Gear Acquisition Syndrome a hobby? Lol

    Origami and making clothes. I’m decent at the former, not self confident enough at the latter.

      Some people don’t mind bland food or eating the same thing all the time. As someone trying to lose weight, I envy them.

        Healthy food doesn’t have to bland. One of my favorite things is a spicy red cabbage slaw with lime juice and apple cider vinegar. I’m currently eating carrots with ranch made from Greek yogurt. Denying yourself flavor is not a strategy for long term success.

    Boardgaming!

    I own a modest company collection, run weekly boardgame nights, and demo boardgames at conventions for a large publisher. It helped me meet a lot of fantastic people. Boardgamers are some of the coolest nerds out there.

      I like playing board games.

      The problem is I don’t enjoy sitting through 25 minute explainations of the rules of board games
