    DSLR photography, CSS, obscure games from long gone times (Nox, Ultima Online, Railroad Tycoon 2). I have savant level of knowledge in these categories. Only one of those allows me to be alive, as in, I work and earn salary because of it. I practically lock up with anything that is of low interest to me.

      And here I was thinking I was the only one making a living by playing Railroad Tycoon 2.

      In all seriousness, I will listen to DSLR photography information all day long.

        No. I don’t like crowds. Only high paying work there is wedding & events photographer. I like macro photography of flowers, plants and bugs. They are cool.

          I see, but my life is pretty much destroyed anyway. I have hyperfixation, but only in my job, so I am basically one of the most boring person in the world.

            do what you love. someone out there will find you the most interesting person on the world. it doesn’t matter if you are neurodivergent or neurotypical, longing for companionship is a human trait. There are activities that are considered “cool” because of a trend or because influencers or celebrities or it is being shoved in your face as the newest health craze.

            Do what you love. the person that matters will see you. I’d rather be alone, than with people who like me only because I do the thing they like.

      I play UO on private shards every year and a half. Always lots of fun. And the last few years, lots of cool custom shards popped up
