I wish my autistic hyperfixation could have been lifting weights instead of collecting records
>>84160118same, I can become hyper fixated on a lot of things but not lifting, I always lose interesting in that as soon as it stops hurting (which is the only enjoyable part)
>>84160133The pain is part of why I dislike exercise, alongside the tedium
idk why but i'm the type of autistic that doesn't have a hyperfixation, just one random thing after another i learn at the surface level and then move on when i get bored
>>84160118I think that's pretty cool anon, tell me about the records you've collected please
>>84160149In truth my CD collection is bigger than my record collection, but both are all music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's: Rock, country, blues, soul, some gospel, and a handful of jazz albums
>>84160139I only like it because of the pain and because I want to look like kenshiro but man is it fucking tedious
>>84160118Records are gay as fuckin shit but at least youre preserving something unlike normalniggers, so i commend you for that much
When I was a kid/teen my autistic hyperfixations used to be fun and productive stuff like niche media and unusual sports.Now it's the most ridiculously fucking morbid shit like autopsy reports and combat deaths in Ukraine.
>>84160118you can do both though
>>84160118I get your point, but there are way worse things to hyper fixate on. Imagine all that energy poured into collecting an cataloging hentai statuettes or something.
>>84160118I wish I could have had a hyperfixation on something academic.
>>84160118What is your most prized record?
>>84160210Drop a couple album titles and covers
>>84160378Probably this onehttps://www.discogs.com/release/3745933-Hank-The-Drifter-A-Lonely-Stranger-Drifting-Through-Your-TownSome of the rawest country music I've ever heard, very hard to come by -- I don't think all the tracks are even available to hear online
>>84160118Why? Collecting records is infinitely more interesting or are you just normie-envy rn?
>>84160389No idea where to start with that, what kind of stuff do you want to see
>>84160418I'm just a huge music buff in general, like half my free time is spent doing virtual crate-digging on sites like Discogs and talking about music on boomer forumsI also like the feeling of physical ownership compared to just streaming or hoarding mp3s
>>84160400Listening through what I can find of that and it's really not bad at all. Cool find, anon.
>>84160335I firmly believe that if you really, REALLY want to, you can turn even the worst hyperfixation into something useful and/or lucrative. >t. hyperfixated on collecting and cataloging gore videos and am now working in forensic pathology
>>84160467OP here, I went to college for radio broadcasting nearly 15 years ago but it didn't go anywhere for several reasons (dying medium, requires you to be a super extroverted normie, sperging about music is actually only a small part of the job)I could have tried to run a record shop but I lack the dedication for that kind of undertaking
>>84160467Good for you anon! That's legit encouraging you turned that into something worthwhile.I just meant in OPs case that record collecting is actually a cool and socially acceptable hobby. It's not something they need to hide from normies or find a way to leverage into something with utility like you did.
Anyway my most recent music acquisition is a reissue of this 1983 folk-rock private press record https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1iT0guA5a6E
