Boardgaming!
I own a modest company collection, run weekly boardgame nights, and demo boardgames at conventions for a large publisher. It helped me meet a lot of fantastic people. Boardgamers are some of the coolest nerds out there.
I like playing board games.
The problem is I don’t enjoy sitting through 25 minute explainations of the rules of board games
For sure, nobody does! The art of the teach is so important.
I make gaming terrain out of cardboard and other household junk! …not very successfully. But every attempt is better than the last.
Knitting and worrying
Being broke
Same. Plenty of free hobbies exist though. Hiking, learning a language, identifying plants (check your local weather service if you can contribute your findings), geocaching, streetcomplete, attending a communal board game night or gardening group. Libraries hold all kind of events for all walks of life.
Some sort of political engagement can also be fun and additionally help find friends. There’s cryptoparty to teach about privacy. Some environmental groups host day trips with volunteers to clear or repopulate strips of land. You can ask your library if you can offer a workshop of some skill you possess.
There is honestly so much free stuff that I didn’t know about yet a couple of years ago.
Video games. Very, very challenging video games that don’t require co-op… I’m currently mostly maining rhythm games, but had several years where I hyperfixated on roguelikes as well
- home automation
- smoking (meat)
- doom scrolling
Making stuff with my 3D printer and CNC milling machine. And petting cats.
I am a self-taught juggler. I taught myself at the age of six
Math, programming, having nightmares.
I used to have hobbies
Are you a parent? My condolences.
No, mostly ✨depression✨
panics, runs out of the room
GET BACK HERE!
If you keep running that’d be a hobby in itself.
Get my angry upvote
Archery, history, languages, programming.
- Reading
- Gardening/plants in general
- Bunnies (yes, caring for my buns is a hobby)
- Board games and Magic the gathering
- Video games, although it’s mostly just wow
Bouldering & Snooker, mostly. Trying all different types of beverages! Weight training is a hobby I guess. Gaming.
- I read a lot, mostly fantasy, science fiction, and mysteries, plus some non-fiction.
- I play and run non-computer roleplaying games. I started in 1976 and have been at it ever since.
- I have recently taken up playing the recorder, mostly tenor. My wife and a friend play with me.
