this is the type of comment I was looking for ITT. most of the others are just shy people that don't realize most people would love to have conversations about niche hobbies someone can communicate any passion about.

if you bring this one up, the inevitable followup is either they awkwardly disengage from the topic, or they awkwardly ask to see what you've made
