"Larp, DnD, though we're actually in a pathfinder campaign at the moment. Maths 💜
I absolutely hate maths with a passion. Think because my maths teacher was a total knobhead "
I was never great at maths .... |

Planes. Don’t ask me why.
I can sit and watch videos or read up about them for hours. Although, I’m not great at retaining information so my special interest is pretty useless.
It also may have contributed to my fear of flying. |

Just in general. I don’t have a favourite. I have thought about going plane spotting because I live near-ish to an airport, but I’ve never had the chance yet. Maybe next year! |

Cyanotypes of course!!! Love it. Whether on paper or clothing material. It's very addictive cos yer waiting for the image to react/appear. You can waste time without realising.
I must get back into it... Some say it's printing, whilst others say it's photography. You can't beat the prussian blue colour...
I think it's both. You just need the right equipment chemical solutions cos of it's photo sensitivity, acetate sheets, a good photo you have taken, a free paint package, a free word processing package, some sun or a UV lamp & bobs yer uncle.   |

Is masturbating a hobby?
Otherwise, I'm still in to maps. Though i never tell anyone in rela life otherwise all they will ever buy me, in maps or map related items.
Also I am rather partial to my sci-fi. |

Hey Sexxxxxxyyy Dyl,
Mind if I add some more on here?
It'll be off the philosophical/policy/ethical consequences track (which are my graduate/slightly postgraduate fields), and also off the maths and sciences fields (which are a high level of achievement at a lower qualification level).
I was going to add psychic phenomona now - precognition, Synchronicity, déjà vu, psychometry, energy fields (auras), mediumship, and so on.
My interest is as a psychic, atheist and materialist, but I would never exclude people talking about these things if, for them, a spiritual basis is important for their "ground zero".
So - with your permission - that's my next "Geeky", and I can take it onto another thread because I don't want your thread to become my playground.
I think you may have created a very good ongoing FAB thread concept though - "Let's Talk Geek", and I really hope it has a lot of mileage in it - history, architecture, gaming, science, cars, planes, futurism, sci-fi etc.
Cheers,
Nick xxx |

I have lots. Books in general, but especially science fiction, and books on physics, written for ordinary people. Cameras and photography. Movies. Lego - especially technic with lots of moving parts. Board games, but not the old stuff, all the incredible and complex games that have come along since the board game renaissance, the bigger and more complicated the better. Anything to do with space, astronomy, the universe. I have always been nerd, since long before it was cool 🤓 |

"I haven’t been playing long but I’m enjoying Pokemon go at a very low key level. I just like collecting the mons not bothered by raid etc at the moment. Does that count as being a nerd? "
It does but sounds cool too  |

I like them too, use to.love going to the airport when i was younger and just sat in the car watching them come in and takeoff, have an airband scanner for listening to them talk I've had for years which is great for some airshows too, love to let you listen to it if you'd like. Edinburgh airports brill alot of the time must take some time there soon.
Other than planes I like photography and heritage loco's. |

Ahh you’re in for a treat! It’s so deep and rich and compelling. Unlike other genres, sci-fi can date really easily, but Dune has stood the test of time x |

So I’m discovering! It was a well chosen early Christmas present. I love how the focus is on people and interactions. |

I like measuring things.
Temperature, pressure, saturation. Delta, count. Percentile.
It's very satisfying to learn what correlates, draw possible causation, trace your finger through each data point that tells a story from cause to effect, effect becoming cause, cause to effect.
Knowledge is power, and over some things I have become incredibly powerful - simply by trying to understand them, and then measuring them until I understand them more than most. |
