I also ended up becoming a jack of all trades in the meantime

Your hobby is collecting hobbies.

This makes so much sense

Also I wonder if this gif works or not, I know you can link images this way, but gifs?

Edit: Well it kinda works, it needs tapped on to play in the Jerboa app.

Works and plays smoothly on Connect app.

It displays as a link on kbin but plays when clicked

Plays just fine using Liftoff

Auto-plays fine on firefox, dbzer0.

And you end denying yourself new hobbies, because you know it will be another fail.

Hot damn thanks for the new web comic I can follow! I found another one that is very relatable for us!

It makes working on my fantasy world a pain

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Likewise

It's makes dming DnD for my buddies a bit tough for sure

[–] nachom97@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dang, does anyone have any advice here? If it was free stuff it would be fine, but there’s always some gear or materials to buy

A couple things that help are having a large group of people you know with a vast swathe of interests, going to a maker space, or sometimes even the local library can have info or supplies for things.

Or dipping your toes in on a budget if you can afford it

Edit: Or one thing that kinda helps me is trying to only branch into similar hobbies to ones you have the supplies for. Though I'm not too good at that either... hench the shelf.

I also seem to cycle through my multitude of interests which helps a bit, or applying different hobbies together but the brain craves what the brain craves and there's few things it craves as much as NEW
