    A good number of games on my PC.

    Anywhere from 3-100 books of sheet music depending on the books.

    A bunch of used blu-rays.

    A ton of used records.

    A new set of speakers for my record and/or home theatre setup(s).

    A new amp for my record setup.

    A new pre-amp for my record setup.

    A little over half the parts for a new gaming PC.

    Around 3-5 vintage watches for me to fix up.

    Some new tools for fixing up vintage watches.

    About 7-8 pocket knives.

    A new kitchen knife set.

    Some new pots and pans.

    Does alcohol count as a hobby? If so then 5-10 bottles of scotch.

    Shit, I have a lot of hobbies. No wonder I have no money. There’s probably stuff I’m forgetting too. Damn.

    Two surf boards, you only need one and can fix it pretty cheaply for like 20 bucks, but having a lot of surfboards is nice

    1000€ (roughly $1600 CAD) would be a nice down payment on a decent cargo bike like the Yuba Mundo Lux.

    My two main hobbies are amassing wealth and being bad at finance so it probably gets me about 500€.

    I get 1 nice drone or 2 small ones.

    Lost a 500€ infrared drone 2 days ago in a sugar beet field because “I don’t need the GPS when flying near the street” and then I was too high to make out if it was a deer or a rabbit and the powerline in between disrupted the radio signal, so the drone went into failsave and stopped all movement, getting carried by the wind into the field and it fell in a way that the battery disconnected… thank you for reading… I’m sad now…

    3 cheap synths but only half a more expensive one.

    Reasonable amount of average magic cards or just a few good ones.

    Some nice wood for woodworking, but not that much if decent quality.

    A flight ticket.

    3 festival tickets.

    0.5kg of ketamine.

    A lot of 3D printing filament.

    2 Warhammer figures.

    A mid range set of motorbike gear (dirt or road) or a very cheap registrable motorbike.

    Alternatively a number of interesting secondhand cameras/lenses, the number ranging from one to many depending on what exactly. I’ll admit I have actually spent near that much on two backs for my 1960s era Hasselblad so you don’t even necessarily get a whole camera…

        Yes, you can. I guess I should have been more specific because I was thinking of a complete kit when I wrote that (so including helmet, boots, gloves, etc) and you do need to set your sights a bit lower to make the budget work for that.

    You guys have stable hobbies…?
    If you count “starting new hobbies” as a hobby, then I could get like 4-5 hobbies out of it, around 200-250$ is a reasonable buy-in for a new one.

        Yes, but we’ve been having a few hot days around here and temperatures over 30°C really degrade the effectiveness of the medication. I bought a sewing machine on Saturday.

          wh— ok that explains a lot about why I’m such a pansy about heat

          i wonder if stimulants are biochemically less effective in heat, or it’s just that our brains have to also deal with the sensory overload of melting to death thus eating into the medication’s mitigation of dopamine deficit… or both perhaps

    Either a whole load of books, fiction, tabletop RPG sci-fi. I would also need to buy more bookshelves to put these on.

    A decent upgrade to my computer, maybe a new graphics card.

    A sword or two, some better protective kit for sparring.
