Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill?

  • I get it, but to be fair, the keycaps I already had were only about $20 on Amazon. So if you want to be pedantic I spent $60 total. Still beats the $300 plus for the ergodox. Also, if you really want to get into it, it took me around 25 hours to fully complete since I opted to hand wire. So factor in whatever your hourly rate is times 25 hours to get the opportunity cost of the diy job. Maybe you’re right and it just makes sense to buy the darn thing. At least I had fun though.

  • Sorry, forgot to mention, I handwired and reused key caps. I have a lot of extra sets from liking keyboards for a while lol.

    I also used a pi pico which took some extra tlc but saved a good chunk of money (1 pico is 7 dollars and only one is necessary).

  • I did exactly this! It was super fun! Ergodox keyboard is very expensive. I spent about $40 on my custom one. It works great too :)

    • Gaming hot takes?

  • Witcher 2 was more fun than Witcher 3. There, I said it.

    Idk, just something about the super clunky controls and dated graphics (I played it about 4 years ago) made it extremely lovable. Witcher 3 had so much to do that I never got fully into the main story line. I'm probably an idiot though.

    • What happened to the credible source regarding UFO’s that hit the news a few weeks ago and set the Reddit UFO claiming the ‘truth was now out’?

  • UFO sightings are definitively not a USA only phenomenon.

    Look into the Varginha case. TLDR: a UFO landed in Varginha, Brazil and a creature was reportedly spotted. The town's citizens report that US officials came in and cleaned up, then threatened the locals to keep them quiet. There is an entire documentary on the case called "Moment of Contact" shot and directed by James Fox.
