What's the Holy Grail item in your hobby?

I understand most of the individual words in your explanation, but it doesn't really tell me what the point is. About all I got from it is people writing back and forth to each other, and since you mentioned 'otaku', probably a Japanese fandom thing?
I could google for 'exchange diary otaku' and maybe find a better explanation, but tbh I'm not that invested.
Underground Japanese idols and their fans. It's a whole scene. Look up groups like KissBee, AIBECK, 100-YOKAI, etc.

I am a themer for Project Outfox: check us out; all you need is the guitar

EDIT: looks like it's possible! Imma dive off the deep end!

KissBee
First hit, confusingly, is this:
Further down I see a group of girls -- Japanese pop music? That would have been more informative than 'idols'.

As a hobby engineer/machinist I would say any "medium" sized mill but specifically Bridgeport mills are especially coveted by hobbyists.
If I found a reasonably priced Bridgeport even one that needed a bit of work, I would happily sell my Chinese machine and make some extra room in my workshop.

I don’t play drum/guitar mania, but the support is all there (albeit the guitar hero/taiko modes are all recently added so they’re not nearly as mature as dance/pump/technomotion, etc.

In the world of synthesisers, I’m going to say the Yamaha CS-80. Anyone who was introduced to synthesised music by listening to the Blade Runner soundtrack will recognise it. With its many tactile modulation options, it’s arguably the pinnacle of the synth as a performance instrument.
I'd like a prophet 5 or minimood model d.

My hobby is (or rather was) collecting Seiko watches.
I stopped buying watches, but my holy Grail would be "The" Pogue. The original 6139-6005 yellow face automatic chronograph worn by Col. William Pogue on the Skylab mission.
Other than the NASA issued Omegas, this was his personal watch that he just took with him into space, as NASA didn't want the Astronauts to take their Speedmasters home and so they couldn't train as much with them.
This also was the first automatic chronograph in space, as no one had tried before if they would work without gravity (surprise, they did, as momentum is still very much a thing in space).
Here is a very nice write up by a very knowledgeable guy:

Mmm love a good space watch. Personal grail for me would be an Omega Skywalker X-33.

SAKO TRG 22/42 A1 a good home defense tool for light sleepers.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Why use a gun chambered in 6.5cm, 308win, 300wm, or 338lapua for home defense, unless you mean defense of your large estate and need long range? Shotguns are long and unwieldy. I'd go for hand guns with rounds that distort when they hit something so there is less chance of penetration and continuing on. Most likely 22lr or 9mm. 22 has less stopping power, but usually more capacity.

I think you mean 10mm?

I'm sorry I failed you. You may punish me as you see fit.

I'm a book collector, sadly most of the books in my preferred address are, and forever, will be out of my reach. My holy grail is The Magus by Francis Barrett (1801), it's basically a guidebook to the occult. I've got a facsimile edition published in 1970 but I've never seen or heard of a original copy for sale - not that I've searched, I don't wish to see an old man cry.
This post has some real The 9th Gate vibes. Love it. I hope you find your book someday.

Meanwhile, I keep ending up in rooms with board game nerds, and I only kind of like board games.

As someone who has started rewriting an old Summer Camp Island fanfiction I started around 2019 and never got very far with, I'm gonna have to say concentration and not getting writers block as the combo that would be the holy grail IMO. I'm sure a lot of writers in general could probably agree with that.
I definitely wanna get back into fanfic writing to a degree, but concentration and writers block have been my enemy.
