Well, I've always been into cars. Maybe it's time to get serious about that

Cars are cool, plus it'll help save you money if you can do stuff yourself.

I've done some rust repair

done a shite job but I've learned a lot

I replaced the alternator on my Saturn, it took like a week, but it saved us a lot of money. I love my Saturn, not very much on it breaks, and the stuff that does is easy to fix.

Same with my MX5 though I'm selling it to get some money for a real project car

My dad was a Porsche mechanic when he was younger, now he buys them cheap and broken and fixes em all up and sells em.

normally it would do but it has too much rust so I don't want to invest into it

that's pretty cool

Sometimes I help him out, they have such expensive parts though.

So what are your other interests?

Obviously, video games

but I'd like to reduce that

I aalso do some basic 3D modelling

I like video games too, they can become very time consuming. I've played a lot less since my little dude was born. I still enjoy watching twitch though.

yeah

So 3d modelling like on a computer? That sounds awesome.

I mostly do low to med poly car models

made like 4 of them since I'm not that quick. All made for VRChat

That's pretty cool though. I assemble and paint minis, the little DnD models, I find it pretty peaceful.

I always wanted to try DnD but I have no friends xD

It's hard to get enough people together regularly to keep a game going. We've managed a few glorious summers, but It would always be nice to do more.

Maybe one day I'll get enough people online together to try it since it sounds fun

They do have some cool online programs for it nowadays..

Is it true that most people here are ex-TRP?

I'm not TRP, my brother is currently, though. The other guys seem pretty legit in being ex-TRP.

I was this close to going full TRP

luckily I found out that it's fundamentally flawed in its core before it was too late

It offers up a lot of principles that draw guys in. It also preys on guys who are vulnerable just from failed relationships or being socially awkward.

I fall into the latter I guess

I'm glad you found your way out. TRP hurts more than just the person in it.

though my appearance apart from not being muscular is the exact opposite of what a socially awkward person would look like

It takes all kinds, I'm generally pretty introverted in everyday life.

People can always surprise you!

I'm in the middle in terms of extroversion/introversion

I remember when I was first exposed to the whole TRP thing

it was a TFM's video about cycle of civilizations

started watching him from then until he started spamming my feed with adult toy reviews lol

TRP offers an 'easy button' for things that have no easy button.

one of the things that pushed me away from TRP was how I started reading between the lines of what TFM was saying and got to know him as a person a bit

for instance he was in a LTR with a fat and unattractive girl just so that she wouldn't leave him
