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?

[–] QuietStorm@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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.
