What is your current obsession? - Expose how autistic you are.

Its funny, its the same for me as well. I recently got back into the hobby and I've been converting new imperial guard kits into the old metal regiments you used to be able to buy, (Steel legion, Mordian iron Guard, Vallhallan ice warriors, Tallarn desert raiders) You can get all 54 of the Horus heresy audiobooks from the pirate bay btw.

I have been reading 40k novels for years.
Horus Heresy is good, but I actually prefer the stuff in the current Dark Imperium.
The Nu Marines were a stupid asspull to sell new models, but the stories that came out, especially those by Guy Haley are pretty good.
Rowboat Girlyman is finally a somewhat interesting character, Devastation of Bhaal and the whole Dante trilogy are amazing, and Belisarius Cawl, resident Mary-Sue mad scientist is also an addition I like.

Never expected to like the lore of an over-the-top setting like 40k, but here we are.

I like 40k but I don't like space marines, tried other books but the only ones I've liked so far are gaunts ghosts, ravenor/eisenhorn and caiphus cain.

Currently in-between autistic obsessions right now but I have been binging old nature documentaries, since I recently found out tonnes of them are free on archive,org https://archive.org/details/the-ascent-of-man-ep1
 
S.t.a.l.k.e.r/Roadside Picnic. I started playing Into the Radius and it made me want to reread Roadside Picnic. It's a short book so I finished it in a couple of days. Once I finish Into the Radius I'm probably gonna replay Call of pripyat while I wait for Stalker 2 to come out.

I got into that exact rabbit hole a couple years ago. I suck at those games though.
 
Battleships. Watched a lot of videos and read some book. From US Civil War monitors to the Battleship's New Jersey last combat ride in the 1980s. There is something majestic in those huge metal behemoths, filled to the brim with the latest and most expensive technologies of their time and hundrets of people working in more or less unison to keep it going.

Roadside Picnic
I strongly suggest you read other Strugastkie's work, they are timeless classics, although some of them are somewhat hard reads like Doomed City.

I'll watch/listen to every stream/video/episode of some kind of content I've liked for a while. I can usually only do this once or twice a year, but the nostalgia gets me.
 
Ham radio. I've really enjoyed playing with my VHF/UHF station (really basic stuff, nothing fancy) and I really want to try HF by myself (my only experience aside from SWLing is helping my local club for a contest on SSB voice). I've bought and repaired a late eighties HF transceiver and I'm looking to somehow setup an HF antenna (which can be a pretty long wire) on my balcony.
I've stepped up my the local club and I'm helping retired boomers learn KiCad, it's cozy.
 
I've been obsessed with building guns for quite a while. It takes quite a bit of skill to take a piece of steel and craft it into something that will functionally fire/eject/feed a cartridge reliably.

the mesolithic - the brief period of human history after the last ice age, before the advent of agriculture

native plants - what they are, how they grow, and why they're indigenous to certain environments

silver - its history, its processes, and the collection of coins and bullion
 
Autistic, but generally this gem of a website, lolcows, Tranime, gacha games, digital art, Da Sharty, FGs, visual novels, gemmy music and shit a typical otaku would like.

Most especially Blue Archive, Type-MOON, botegirls, Umamusume, Arknights, retro gaymes, PriConne, and Mortal Koalbat. Plus redraw or redesigning shit that are not canon charas as a time killer. Raiden from MK is currently my profile theme. :wombat:
