The things I love about reading are that I don’t need people to do it, it can be done anywhere, and I get to direct the movie happening in my head.
The thing I love about weight-lifting is putting Gen Z’ers to shame on the bench press.
Researching arcane historical facts, to help make plot twists more plausible.
of shows i assume? i have fun looking at wiki on various franchises from time to time.
I basically unlock new superpowers as I work on self-servicing infrastructure
If I see it, there’s a good chance I can make art of it, if the conditions are right.
To borrow an old classic, I don’t have hobbies. I have interests. Hobbies cost money, but interests are free.
I get to escape the real world
Heroin is such a cozy hobby. Especially on a rainy day
The people.
Boardgame fans are often very smart and aware.
I can make up my own songs with lyrics that I want to sing.
Lately I’ve been working on one called “these people are nuts”.
Making something nice out of junk and repairing things is immensely satisfying. Lately I’ve turned a fallen tree into wood shingles to clad an outbuilding and installed a reclaimed ornate window.
Getting into cooking, which is most rewarding when done with family and friends. Today’s recipe is spinach and ricotta pasta.
I love programming and there are endless things to build in that world. Currently making a log burning stove control system using an Arduino, sensors and servos.
The rest of my recreational time is spent gaming on a pc, World War Z right now, love a co-op.
The explosions.
My… hobby? Which freaking one 🫨
Any or all you feel like you have a good answer for!
Take badminton.
- Great exercise (number one sport along with tennis that increases lifespan the most).
- Socialize.
- Endless avenues of improvement, from footwork, racket technique, strength, endurance, strategies regarding service, returns, attack, defense, different ways of playing singles, doubles, etc, etc, etc.
- A way to get out of the house for a bit.
Cons:
- Expensive equipment
- Can’t really do it by yourself
I’m also into speed cubing since a couple years back. That also shares the quality of having a lot of areas where you can improve. My records for 2x2 and 3x3 are about 1s and 19s, respectively. But the world record level cubers can solve a 3x3 in the time it takes me to finish the last layer. 😅 But that’s the beauty of it. The more you cube, the better you’ll get.
My exact same thought. Just those that persisted over the years.
Well I got to play my synthesizers on stage last night so that was cool
That I don’t need to do it if I don’t want to.
It takes me outside and helps me relax and it pushes me to focus on healthy food, good rest and recovery. Plus I can do it all alone or with friends depending on my mood.
Camping?
Triathlon training
Cooking/baking: i got told i am better than my mother BY MY GRANDMA!! And i do it all rythmicly and its very theraputic
Gardening with carnivoures plants: they kill wasps and mosquitos and look pretty while at it! :D
Programming: Joy and frustration is so close by each other. Especially mod creation for eu4 frustrates me how redtrictive and cumbersome it is! Had to redo one mechanic 8 times because i cant do dynamic lists and other things!!!
Music: the vibe and letting lose becoming one
Biking: the feeling of freedom
