Hello im a highschooler who struggles with everything and i have autism along witha few other things. i dont hav ea job and im afraid to drive ,not only tha tmos tof my tech is low end so im very limited.
Ive been wanting to create somethign but im not sure what also my intersts changes each day and i tend to pick things that are to hard for me, also im afraid of pointy things like knifes, saws, etc becasue im a clutz. righ now im thinking of trying music or covers but i hav eno musical talent also i dont se ethe point, and idk how that even works.
is there a hobby or thing you would suggest for a loser like me?
honestly i have no clue i always reserch things but then i get overwhelmed or distracted so i never begin them but im kind of a ner dlike i liek tech, games, dnd things.
Well, tech is a funny thing—I kind of feel bad for zoomers and alphas for how badly the industry has fucked it up. They’ve turned it into consumption-as-hobby, so that it’s the nerd equivalent of being a “foodie.” The “hobby” seems to just consist of keeping track of the trends in consumer hardware, then using it in a shallow way as was intended by the engineers and marketers.
That said, there are still honest-to-god tech-related hobbies, like programming, art, music, even modding. There’s also the deeper stuff, like playing with ESP-12s or breadboards or the like.
What do you like about D&D?
well iv etried programming and i cant code at all and im very limited with tech, what i like about dnd is that its a wonderful break from reality and computer and it gets a group together to play a non pc game and such, if that makes sense.
If you’re into tech and D&D, what about 3d printing? It’s techy, ties into D&D (printing minis, map elements, etc), and you can get into it for relatively cheap. A cheap resin 3d printer is like $200. You can use a water-washable resin to skip the harsh chemicals, and you can cure it in the sun, skipping a cure station. I have an Anycubic Phonto Mono, which was like $200, and prints some GORGEOUS minis.
As you get deeper and more involved, you can upgrade to a wash & cure station, bigger printers, different resins, etc. You can start by printing other people’s designs, then as you learn more, start making and printing your own designs.
