ITT: Your autistic hobbies, that are not vidya,tv,etc.
Mine: I like to collect old coins from any country.
>>27432838
I have a small collection of pokemon cards that I pretend are different characters in an action anime. Their powers are based on the attacks on the card/the pokemon the card is based off of.
>mfw there is a huge fighting tournament between the top 8 strongest fighters happening currently
>nobody can know about this
>>27432838
Since when is coin collecting autistic? Autistic people may do it, sure, but autistic people do a lot of things.
>>27433038
This reminds me of something I would've done as a young'n
I think my most Autistic hobbies are my diaper and plushy collections.
Also, I still play with legos, playmobile, toy cars, plastic army men, wood blocks, and other kids toys. I also build models and heavily research things.
I guess Virtual Machines.
>>27432838
At midnight, I walk down to the Three Sisters (a popular tourist destination in Australia) and eavesdrop on the romantic conversations held between American couples. When I return home, I insert myself into the relationship as the male, and frequently dream of the mundane domestic scenarios we would experience together.
I like to create small flags out of construction paper whether it be fictional or all over the world.
Sculpting and painting little men
>>27433724
Was just about to post the same, anon.
>>27432838
I like going into stores about archeology and history artefacts
Am not rich But i have this Fantasy of having money One Day and saving hummanities artifacts
I collect and catalog all information and images I can find about Silent Hill 2. I have beaten the game 14 times in the last 5 days, and before that I have beaten it at least a 4 or 5 times, but that was years ago. I have seen the Two Best Friends playthrough of it at least 8 or 9 times as well. I know everything there is to no about the game. I am currently #14 on the leaderboard of speedruns of the game worldwide. I hope to rise to at least #10.

I like watching old news broadcasts.
This is my favorite youtube channel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gqihQD9_Zw
Autographed books.
I don't even care who wrote the book. I have a few cook books from cooks I don't like. I have a few politicians I don't like. I comb through goodwill a and garage sales looking through every book until I see an autograph.
I also have 40gb of transgender porn so I guess I collect that
>>27434541
I like old news
I collect pictures of female celebrities I like. I tell myself some of them are my family, and have incestuous fantasies about them. I also imagine them holding me at night and talk to myself as if I am them. Bryce Dallas Howard is my mother, and Daisy Ridley is my sister.
>>27434543
at least you don't collect cuck porn or CP so there's that
>>27434581
All my porn is legal, I even paid out of pocket for it.
I buy a subscription then I film my laptop screen. So much is free off of the hub but in order to get the good shit you need to pay kink.com
>>27434620
Adding to that, a pornhub premium account is the best, so much ts stuff!!!!!!
It's amazing.
>>27434537
Why are you even on this Bosnian Bear Baiting Board if you're too embarrassed to post anonymously?
>>27434572
I have a 76GB waifu folder with 983 folders in it, it started out ironic but I ended up just saving pictures of every single celebrity I found cute
>>27434678
That's respectable anon. I probably will be like you one day. I have 3GB already.
I make up elaborate fantasies where I am born as a female and end up becoming a pornstar in the late 90's. Almost always it's my "mother" who introduces me to the industry, after going into the business herself at age 18 since she needed more money to take care of me because she gave birth to me at age 15 and the dad ran away. So far I've made up a story where we are Cambodian and Mexican immigrants, one story for each, and one where we are middle class Americans. We also have incestous scenes where we perform together in each of the stories.
It's hell desu
>>27434656
Fine. Here are a few of my antique military sabres. Ignore that it's from snapchat, a buddy of mine was over at my place and took a picture to send to me.
Collecting toy cars
>>27434756
>I make up elaborate fantasies where I am born as a female and end up becoming a pornstar
>>27434795
I never had a proper father figure growing up and spent all my time with either nannies, who obviously were female, or my mother. I have also been bereft of human touch for pretty much my entire life after growing out of infant stage and I associate being a female with being touched a lot, so it's sort of a natural path for my fantasies to go.
>>27434770
>antiques
>shoved in a corner behind a door
what the fuck man? can't spend a hundred for a display case?
>>27434862
I was keeping them in the corner because I wanted to polish them later. I ended up asking my friend if he wanted to help me, and we spent the next 2 hours of our time doing it.
>>27432838
I rearrange my bookshelves and furniture with autistic frequency. Every autistic character I've ever seen portrayed seems to do the same thing so this is how I know.
>>27435009
>>27434862
>>27434770
>>27434656
>>27434537
What the fuck? I'm the guy who originally posted >>27434471, and these are not my swords, I collect cheap, autistic katanas, not anything of value. Some anon has posted those separately.
>>27432838
I like to visit cemeteries and stay the night a few times a year
Most beautiful, peaceful, and sensuous places that all culminate immensely in a lone surveyor
Is it autistic to not have any hobbies? Like at all. All I do every day is browse 4chan, play a bit of video games and masturbate.
Last time I got asked whats my hobbies were I spilled spaghetti and mumbled something about woodworking because I couldn't come up with anything.
>like collecting old coins
>realize that any "collecting" hobby anyone can replicate by just having enough money
>cut back but still occasionally pick up silver/gold coins as a hedge against a SHTF situations
feels alright man
>>27432838
Riding bikes, the math of average speeds, cadence drills and other training disciplines gets a bit autistic, as well as the mechanical side of things.
Too bad I'm way too depressed to ride or even leave the house the last couple months, gained 3kg from eating badly and not riding at all.
>>27434364
I was the same way back in 2010, minus the speedruns and playthrough. It's so fucking intriguing
>>27434770
Please please get a local woodworker to make a simple wall rack like pic related, those shits shouldn't be stood up in a corner like that.
I've learnt my lesson the hard way anon, expensive things should be set up and displayed properly or bad things happen...
>>27432838
i collect train tickets, counting every shitty day I have to endure as a wageslave. Have several thousand of them dating back to 2008.
>>27435205
that's fine
most people just say they don't get out much, which in actuality is a shit load of people
there's some people whos only hobbies are watching tv and eating at restaurants
>>27435340
Thinking of getting either something like this, or an antique display case of the same origin (culture, period, association) as my sabres. Thing is, if i were to commission someone to construct a rack, I would go for a more appropriate material (or combination thereof) that would reflect the collection itself.
>>27432838
I guess anime would fall under tv and vns would count under games. But the only thing I can think of is my small collection on anime figurines.
>>27436443
Well I guess another thing I can think of is my obsession with any kind of foreign food, any time I hear about some kind of foreign food I have to google it read about it on wikipedia and look up recipes (although never make them). I'm subscribed to so many food channels on youtube its not even funny.
>>27435437
ayy lmao. that's actually kind of neat. (no pun intended)
I have a large nutcracker collection I started when I was a kid. I get a new one every Christmas.
I also collect coasters from restaurants, bars, diners, etc.
I collect vintage computers and shit. DOS machines, mostly, but recently I found a 42 year old calculator from the local thrift store.
Seriously, if you want old computer stuff, thrift stores are a gold mine.
Used to collect WW2 memporbilia, have loads of things including US uniforms.
>German bayonets, military manuals, cigars, flags, patched, photos, letters, medical documents, etc..
>>27434839
that makes a lot of sense and is probably the cause of everyones problems here (no dad + no affection)
>>27433170
>diaper and plushy collections
I have a diaper collection, no plushies though
anime figures..........
also Garfield stuff
I'm obsessed with The Civil War to like an autistic level
I have little statues of Robert E. Lee, Ulysses Grant, Philip Sheridan, Nathan Bedford Forrest and Jeb Stuart along with a model cannon and some other shit
>>27432838
I used to collect near pure samples of the chemical elements.
I stopped because it began to get too expensive.
>>27433038
I used to do this a year ago, I'd slide them along a table like they were moving and act out what they would say in different voices.
I collect swords and throw knives.
The knife throwing is something you can only appreciate after you get past the angst in life. I realize now why most knife throwers are middle-old age men. There are two teenagers who watch me do it, but they don't want to be taught. I keep showing them how to hold it and how to gauge distance but then they lob the knives like epic movies.
As far as the swords go I just like cutting targets in my backyard, I'm definitely not a HEMA pro. I only like usable swords, but I do have two antique Spanish parrying swords that sell for over $200 each. Some tard with no respect for his parents/grandparents sold them at a pawn shop for 15 dollars.
>>27432838
Collecting Dices, D20s, D8s, D4s, D30s D24s etc...
And playing Magic I guess.
>>27432838
I used to collect coins from other countries until i fucking lost them all. That's about when I stopped.
>>27432838
I walk to a park on some Sundays and then climb a tree. I haven't been able to climb most of them, so I just go to one I know I can climb.
Are martial arts considered autistic?
I do Muay Thai but most guys at my gym aren't the type you'd call Chad, those play sports in the college team, go drink every weekend, have a belly, and still manage to get some unlike me.
I restore audio equipment from the 60's
>>27438167
No, just like >>27438021 it's all in your attitude. If you take martial arts/weapons seriously and enjoy it without the edge, then it's not autistic in the slightest.
>>27435196
Comfy as fuck hobby right here
I do the same thing except innawoods
I collect classical literature. Also playing electric bass (= robot instrument)
>>27434541
That newscaster is a qt, the fashion was weird, but I like it.
>>27438201
Awesome hobby.
>>27438254
>All that litter outside the perimetre
HOLY FUCK CAN WE PLEASE CLEAN UP THE THIRD WORLD? No one deserves to live like that.
>>27438336
No, we won't clean up their mess. If they don't do it themselves they deserve to live like that.
>>27438396
Robots truly are soulless monsters.
>>27434701
Someone make this into a rare pepepoopoo
>>27438201
This is quite cool lqd
Not really a hobby but I'm pretty good at alienating significant others. Like if one of y'all's wives or girlfriends were here I'd make her feel unwanted, unwelcome. I'd phase her out of the conversation, slowly but surely. Box her out physically so that she doesn't feel welcome.
>>27437945
EVERYONE WAS KUNG FU FIGHTING
THOSE KICKS WERE FAST AS LIGHTNING
build/collect lego modular buildings
just this particular line
easily sank a few thousand into lego
I wish I had better hobbies though desu. sets like pic rel only come out once a year so aside from vidya (which I'm very picky about) biking (which I can only do a few months a year) and graphic design maybe I don't really have any hobbies
>>27435205
most people don't have hobbies
>>27438597
I'm also obsessed with Walt disney/disneyland autistically. I've been a crazy amount for someone who lives so far away and collect memorabilia, follow blogs, read history etc
all my interests are so fucking childish I never tell anyone about them
I like drawing maps, mostly transport maps, like of train and bus networks
>>27433724
I find it cool man
>>27432838
I own a spotting scope and some binoculars to look at red lights at night(Tall buildings, windmills, cars, etc.)
I thought about getting into photography and making a Tumblr(I don't know any other sites where I could share stuff like this?) with these pictures, but I don't know shit about cameras and I am scared of buying something wrong and all of these things are super expensive
>>27438336
You have to make people pay for these services or have them do it themselves
otherwise they don't care and will not keep it clean
Toilets in India get used a lot more when people have to pay for them and they don't just destroy them and stuff
i program videogames if you can call that obscure. i also play guitar/piano which are fairly normal interests.
>>27438201
this is a pretty chill hobby
>>27439068
programming is a norm because you are in the everyone can code meme generation
I collect old Coca Cola advertising items from the 1960s and earlier
I collect almost anything advertising Coke, but lately I've really been into old Coke bottle openers. I've only been collecting them for a few months now and I have several rare ones. I think the value of all of them exceed $1000 by now.
>>27432838
I'm trying to understand philosophy now for about 3 years and I don't get a single shit out of it, instead I just convice myself more and more that I'm a dumb fuck ... well, I should maybe start something new.
>>27437979
>I stopped because it began to get too expensive.
I read this as:
>I stopped because it began to get too explosive.
Which would be a much more interesting story.
>>27438289
Classical as in Greek, or as in the canon generally? How much do you own?
>>27432838
I collect mechanical wrist watches
I read literature and I guess you could say I collect books
My most spergy hobby is politics though
>>27438289
Eyy, I've got heaps of classic literature, not really good copies of anything however
I make music as well on my computer
I collect books and teaware. Which might not be autistic so much as granny-tier. Also a bit of Legos.
>>27439333
What areas do you collect/how much do you have?
>>27438597
Do you have them all? I wanted to get into it, but with how expensive the first ones that are out of print are, it seems kind of futile now.
Do jigsaw puzzles of anime characters count as autistic?
>>27439414
You probably collect the actual books then the works written in them if you know what I mean
I've got heaps, probably about 100. Everything George Orwells written, heaps of Hemmingway, Joyce, couple of world war 2 books, pretty much an extensive amount of 20th century stuff, I find the time period particularly appealing
>>27439532
How long have you been collecting? I just reached 1,100 the other week, after five years.
>hemmingway
I go for walks around my town in the evenings and pretend I'm giving architectural tours from various angles (classical, modern, ugly or beautiful features). I think I've walked every single street of this town of 270.000 by now. Not that I have any architectural training, I just saw some of John Betjeman's documentaries about the beauty of commonplace premodern architecture and some articles on psychogeography.
>>27439532
>>27439583
Do you fellows actually read all that? Must be quite the effort if you do.
>>27432838
i like to collect old computers form the 90slord knows thares plenty of them[/spoilers]
>>27439648
It's not an effort when it's your main hobby (reading, not collecting). My average over the past five years is about 120 books a year.
>>27433170
Jesus anon. How old are you?
When I'm fucking bored and tired of RITO's bullshit I imagine encountering aliens in a space trip and thinking about how could and would I describe them our world having no knowledge of language, only by acting and drawing figures.
Then sometimes I fap thinking of going down into one of the crew.
I subject myself to a Linux project when I start getting stressed about real life.
Right now I'm desperately trying to convince my parents that the HTPC I set up for them is infinitely less shitty than their smart TV.
>>27439648
Yeah, I use to read a 300 page book every 10 days
I'm reading a portrait of the artist as a young man by James Joyce at the moment
>>27439583
Not long, maybe 12 months. Probably got 100 books, read 90
Didn't read the 90 in the 12 months, read very casually before that
Hemmingway is alright, real relatable for a guy like me, he can't do female characters for shit though, I don't even care though
>>27439263
>...and I don't get a single shit out of it, instead I just convice myself more and more that I'm a dumb fuck
Then you are doing it right. Welcome to the fantastic world of Sophia
>>27439848
Hah, I was just lightly mocking you for spelling his name wrong. I like Hemingway too.
>>27439905
Ohh, didn't even notice, it's 4am and I just finished a rough shift at work, no good
What western philosophers would you reccomend? I'm capable of reading complex stuff but I don't really want to at this moment in time? Do you thinks it's neccessary to read the Greeks first?
>>27439905
Also Is in our time by Hemingway any good?
>>27439757
I am 24 years old.
>>27439979
I'm not a Western philosophy person, so I'd be the wrong person to ask. All my research is in Eastern literature (East Asian specifically, if you can't tell from the Imperial Hotel shelf).
It's been a long time since I read In Our Time, but assuming you've read his "Hills Like White Elephants" and enjoyed that one, you should like his earlier short stories too.
>>27440125
I'm not remotely interested in eastern literature
Actually haven't read of his short stories, for some unknown reason no where sells Hemingway in Australia
I make noise an shitty noise industrial music. Also I cook, pickle vegetables, cure meats, and bake pizzas and sometimes bread. Physical work is great when there's an actual end product.
>>27433065
I dont mean literal autism, i mean 4chan/r9k autism
>>27438201
That's incredibly beautiful man
I read and write Harry Potter fanfiction.
I collect guns. Mostly Russian guns, I have most of the normal military issued weapons from 1890 to current, aside from some of the really painful ones like the Degtyaryov. I've got an RPK though which was my last. Lately I've been more into battle rifles, though. Recently got an HK91 and love it, even more than the FAL.
>>27440553
Nice collection Anon.
>>27432838
I'm a novelist.
Is collecting vinyl autism? Or just hipster? Where's the demarcation there?
Started this year, have 60 so far.
>>27440607
Thank you! It's the one thing in life I'm really proud of. I've got about 25 guns I think, I haven't counted in a while. I also collect magazines, mostly AK magazines.
I think all my cool ones were put up, but you can see some polish AK-74 magazines, some russian '74 magazines, a few RPK magazines and a drum, plenty of circle 10 and 12 mags. Delicious plum clipazines.
>>27440697
Nice, I see you have some bakelite mags too.
would you be willing to share a family photo of your whole arsenal?
Literature, building a library.
Listening to classical music.
>>27440851
What's your library at so far? Do you collect any areas in particular?
>>27440789
I actually don't have one =/
The closest I have is from years ago and you can't see any handguns or most of my raifus, plus I've added some really cool stuff since then.
For pistols, I also have an original Israeli surplus Jericho 941, not the import ones which aren't as cool IMO. I have some older 70's and 80's Berettas, Makarov, Nagant revolver, Tokarev, a S&W Model 10... I don't even remember a lot of the guns I have =/
I also have several nuggets, an SKS, 3 AR's that I built... I've got more and honestly can't even think of a lot of them right now.
>>27440864
Very small, less than fifty books, although it'll expand greatly this summer when I no longer have tons of coursework to do. I've only started to read again at the beginning of this academic year, rekindling what used to be a passion for me when I was younger. It feels great to escape the worries of daily life and simply get absorbed into a book.
Right now I'm simply going through rereading books I've read when I was younger as well as a list I've made of books that I've always found interesting but never got around to. After I'm done with that i'll probably re-visit the Greek and Roman classics I've studied in Latin class in high school but didn't properly appreciate at the time.

Nice, I hope you have individual pictures of each firearm at least, that way if anything happens to them like a house fire or a robbery, you would know what was lost and be better able to submit a claim to insurance.

Yeah, I also keep a copy of the FFL transfers or serial numbers for all of them in a few different locations.
>>27441432
Pics of manga and figure collections?
>>27432838
I play several games of Internet blitz chess on lichess.org many hours a day.
I read and collect old car magazines. Like not really old, like 2000-2005.
I used to make up all kinds of elaborate fantasies, but now I just meditate, mostly because I'm mentally ill. Sometimes I will meditate up to ten hours a day. I have had some experiences.
Anyone else play with those WWE wrestling rings with the dolls/characters?
I kind of want one of them right now.

I like looking at the missing persons database (NAMUS) and see if I can solve or add anything to a case.
I once solved a case from 1957.
>>27432838
Martial Arts
Right now I just do Karate, Ninjutsu and HEMA, but I have plans to learn all the basic skills that a medieval warrior would have and actually put my skills to the test instead of being a delusional larp faggot.
I also have a modest collection of animu, misc. books, D&D manuals and dead animal parts.
>>27441533
At family easter party, will provide description.
I like doing worldbuilding for tabletop games. I've been working on my own rpg system and I'm working on finishing a fairly broad setting. I'm ust frustrated though, I bought a scanner so I can take my mapping to the next level but I keep running into issues with it.

I have a movie edition mugi, sega yui, banpresto 5th aniversary yui, and two characters from Saki. I have a manga collection consisting of tge k-on series, durara, soul eater, and that new nichijou book. Keep in mind this collection is very recent, hence the small size.

Is soseki's other work as good as Kokoro? It's the only one I've read and am interested in getting hsi other works.
>>27438201
Restoring old stuff is always cool as fuck. It bums me out whenever I think about everything humanity has created being lost to time. I'm mostly interested in silent films for the same reason.
>>27444409
It is, but I wouldn't suggest I Am a Cat next. Sanshiro should be your next book by him.
/lit/ actually has a chart for Soseki. Not mine, but I generally agree.

Martial arts

>>27432838
I have an entire fantasy universe built up purely in my head, complete with multiple story arcs I've been working on since 1st grade.
I could easily write a book series about it. I never will.
It started with me daydreaming myself inserted into a universe with the greek gods and all my favorite vidya characters, but since evolved into it's own universe and story.
>my main sidekick when I was younger and fighting monsters with magic was Jax from Mortal Kombat because he had robot arms
>one day his head was crushed and he had a robot head too

>>27445197
Why don't you want to write a book series about it?
>>27445197
Fanfiction has made people millionaires. Ask the author of the 50 Shades of Grey series, it started as a Twilight fanfic and evolved into that after she changed the names and shit.
>>27445264
I don't have a really good reason, but english is my weakest field and I get overly critical anything artistic I do, leading to writers block and just giving up.
Plus I'm unhappy with the background of the main character but can't come up with anything I think is decent. Been trying for awhile.
It seems I'm better at coming up with events and character development than actually filling in how they got to the starting point for some reason.
On top of it all, I'm oddly extremely ashamed of it. Mostly because one the best ways I come up with shit is talking to myself and acting it out. It's honestly my best kept secret. I haven't talked about it while shitfaced with friends or to my therapist even.
I guess I'm almost worried it's a sign of autism or some shit, since I've been doing it my whole life.
>>27445498
I mean, at this point they are all original characters.
>>27434541
>1999
>old

>>27445197
I have the exact same thing. Though its more of an ideal life that has many different cinematic elements. I also day dream about being successful and being a lawyer in new york and tokyo alot. I have tried to put this on paper before but i dont know where to start.
>>27445655
>Mostly because one the best ways I come up with shit is talking to myself and acting it out.
I should add that the main character, while no longer directly me, is still an exaggerated version of certain traits of mine plus things I've always founds compelling in characters/people. Then given magic powers and sent on a journey to more-or-less save the world (that fails).
Even though I've consciously removed myself from the character, it still feels like I'm writing a shitty mary sue fanfiction because that character WAS me for so long.
