Video games are one. My other obsession is a bit difficult to explain in a simple phrase, but here:

Powersets from multiple media sources and how they intersect.

To elaborate:

By Powersets, I mean abilities within respective media sources(One Power in Wheel of Time, chakra in Naruto, mutant powers in X-Men, magic in D&D, etc). I like to research such abilities and then create characters that fit specific themes, sometimes within a single universe, sometimes combining from multiple sources. I can make awesome D&D 3.5 characters, for example(on request I once built a Bard for a friend who went on to pretty much break the campaign).

So yeah, weird and difficult to explain. But I can do it for hours on end.

Sci-fi:
I'm watching a lot of Doctor Who and Torchwood for the time being.

Astronomy:
Kepler telescope, Mars rovers etc.

Computer Games:
Played Skyrim a lot a week back. Also having some obsessions in the game itself, like collecting and filling a room with cheese and carrying dead bodies over long distances collecting them in piles (Got a bit annoyed and depressed when the bodies started disappearing). I get these strange and rather time consuming ideas in games like this. Not sure why I do it.. Guess that's the nature of obsessions.

Drawing and making stuff:
But it's been a while now, probably get back to it when the other obsessions takes a pause. The last project was a board game (Sid Meier probably gonna sue me if he finds out what game it is).

Hello past self this is future me!

I'm doing okay in the future. I'm older and that is sad, but that was expected. My health is good, I live in a small apartment owned by my brother, I feel calm and safe here. Here's some suggestions. Don't get involved with crazy girls. It's not worth it and will only bring pain and suffering. Don't move in to that big apartment, you'll be stuck for years and the landlady and neighbors are scary. Also they will try to extort you for money and steal my bicycle.

Lotto numbers for 30th of september 2017 is: 1 - 3 - 5 - 18 - 19 - 29 - 31

And don't hesitate to invest in bitcoins they will be worth a lot in the future.

Take care!

At the moment, mostly tabletop gaming. I will usually spend time before bed every night reading rulebooks. I also enjoy listing close to 1000 different titles in a semi-specific order.

They're not obsessions, they're special interests. Why is anything an NT is interested in a hobby but when you're on the spectrum it's an obsession? It's only an obsession if it's unhealthy. But no, NTs think anything an autistic person is interested in is an obsession, and that's baaaaad! :roll:

My obsession is not having an obsession. I like to avoid them at all times. If I feel an obsession developing I get really obsessed about stopping the obsession. The problem is it all gets a bit obsessive. But I'm working on that!
