If I were to become wealthy enough to have this luxury, I would probably goof off and video game the first month. I say this because it’s what I used to do when I was in school and had summers off.

After the boredom kicks in, my brain usually shifts to more creative endeavors. I imagine I’d do some of the projects I used to love. Calligraphy, creating my own language, photography, astrophotography, light gardening, travel to see museums, hiking, visit parks, read, wood working and carving, small projects around the house. Oh wouldn’t it be grand!

Y’all have done a wonderful job. I’m in this for the long haul. I’ve donated once and will again. I think I’ll set up a recurring one this time.

I work in tech in a financial aid office. We regularly get slammed with last minute changes from the govt with little details on how they need to be implemented. So we deal with high volume, high detail (because money is involved as is auditing), and high intensity/speed. It’s an ugly mix. I feel like y’all could be in a similar boat. All I can offer is hang in there. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. We support you and I bet you’ll discover some crazy talent in these communities that has the intellect, time and energy to help out.

Interesting times to say the least.

Most of these are on Reddit, but there may be a few that I thought could be specific, but not as niche as some of the ones on reddit. (like no community just for one game)

oh yes! I used to love astronomy when I was younger. I don’t have any dark sky any more, but I’d love to find a smaller scope or binoculars that I could travel with when I escape the city and have a chance at good viewing.

It that part of the Lemmy Instances? When I run a search, they don’t show up. Am I not able to see this from Beehaw? Thanks for the link!

I’d love to see a communities for: (some of these may be around, but I haven’t searched for them yet)

Turn-based RPGs (BG3 for example) Real time with pause would also fit into turn-based.

These may be too specific, but I thought I’d toss them all out there. Sorry for the craptacular lack of formatting. I forgot to hit the list style button.
