What’s the last thing you got obsessed about for a bit?
Could be buying a new appliance so you’ve read hundreds of reviews, gone deep into niche forums to get the inside scoop and basically just let a relatively mundane choice affect your life for a few days/weeks?
Or obsessed about a film so you need to know everything about it.
That kind of thing.
I more or less only get into things obsessively. I don’t know how to like things only a little bit.
So probably making imaginary money in my spaceship simulator computer game of choice. Or a card game called Star Wars Destiny. Or how the meta has shifted due to new cards coming out for my favourite card game. Or
Learning Spanish. This January I signed up for a class to spruce up my rusty travel Spanish/get out of the house on a Monday night, and now I find myself obsessed. I’m downloading podcasts, struggling though El Pais articles and eating chorizo every chance I get. In fact I’m so obsessed, I might start a new thread on DiS!
oh, I’m bad at this.
When about to buy a tv, I remember looking at the balance sheet of Richer Sounds to see if they would be around long enough to be able to honour it.
Other times, I don’t care though. I do have a Warren Evans mattress that did have a ten-year guarantee until the company folded a couple of weeks ago.
About to become a first-time car owner this weekend. The amount of youtube videos I watch is incomprehensible and the reason unfathomable.
Came here to say buying a new car. Signed up to Carwow, the spreadsheet I made for that is one of the most tragic things I’ve ever done (would the cost if collecting a car from Preston be offset by spending £4 a month less over 4 years? Decisions decisions…).
Yep, I identify with this.
Car finance is screaming out for some tidy excel work. Do something similar with mobile phones too
Ohhhh long boring story alert: I LOVE warren evans beds, and there was a bed in particular that I wanted, and it had been half price in the sale but when I went to buy it the sale was over, and my friend (who is a WE devotee) told me to just keep checking as they are always having sales thoughout the year, so I checked back every week, and then one week about 4 months down the line, there it was in all its glory with 40% off, and that was good enough for me. Went through the whole process of the online purchase only to discover at the checkout/ delivery stage that they don’t deliver to fucking scotland innit.
WEEP.
We are still sleeping on a broken bed rn cos I can’t bring myself to look at others 
couple of years ago i discovered Kishi Bashi, and within a few days i’d puchased the first two albums plus the 3 singles all on vinyl
now there’s 2 tracks i go back to, although they are absolutely fucking incredible
one track is Manchester the other is his cover of This Must Be The Place
Everything that I do, really. It’s one of the reasons why I deliberately keep my distance on certain things because I know that they will become all consuming.
This past month I have been looking into PC monitors, so if you want to ask me anything about G-Sync PC monitors, feel free.
