I've always loved flashlights. Yes FLASHLIGHTS with an A!!! Anyway, apparently not many people share my rather niche interest.

So I ask you, fellow Lemmites, what are your hobbies and weird obsessions that you can ramble on about for hours?

Please feel free to ramble on about your passions here. Maybe you'll find some likeminded individuals!

I got an intel 12100 running the server, its a solid efficiency chip and allows me to also transcode as necessary. Also, I've got a bunch of drives totally up to 24TB right now, I'm sure I could find a way to connect that to a Pi, but my build is efficient enough for me, especially with the price of power in the US. The price isnt super clear from the bill from our apartment, but the local rates are around $.16 / kwh

As for Tabletop Sim, I realy do need to give that one a shot. I think I even already bought it, just haven't played.

TTS is good, it’s just better with a controller - honestly, I might buy a used Quest (fuck Zuck) , for a better experience. But Board Game Arena and Tabletopia both offer (for a fairly reasonable fee) a ton of people to play against.

Table top Sim with vr is a guilty pleasure of mind. I highly recommend if you ever get the chance. A friendly reminder that you don't need a new VR headset to play. Just go on Ebay and save yourself $100 on a used headset, because with new headsets always coming into the market, someone is always looking to sell.

Ah! Okay, I misunderstood. Sounded like you were wanting to get into it with a limited budget, not that you were already into it.

Ah, I was just trying and failing to point out that I’ve managed quite a few hobbies in spite of limited funds. I might go a little nuts with the new checks I’ll be getting. :-)

Gotcha! In that case, go crazy! :)
