Nothing too fancy, we just talk about our hobbies.

Me? I like baking, nothing feels quite like making something delicious for family members on thanksgiving. If I could learn any skill, it would be enough about tech, coding, art, and music to make games. But I am particularly interested in making video game music.

There's this little rodent that lives in my bedroom that I take care of. Other than that I do a lot of gardening

Hiking! Cheap af, great way to stay in shape and immensely fulfilling.

Ideally? Reading history, camping, record collecting, guns. I've been wanting to start going to the gym, and learn how to ride horses from my in-laws who have a few and have offered to teach me.

In actuality? Not a whole lot. Depression and untreated ADHD make it difficult for me to do much of anything beyond doom scrolling and making myself fat with junk food. I have a hard time focusing on my reading, particularly when it comes to theory, which I desperately want to read more of. And I haven't been able to make myself go out camping in a while.

I feel like I'm getting stuck in a rut, like my body and mind are at cross purposes and the latter can't compel the former anymore. I'm not really sure what to do about it, but I don't really like myself right now, that much I am sure of.

I like singing karaoke, drawing, and writing. Don't really get to do any of them enough

[-] ThePokeYen@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

Banjo. I got like twenty other hobbies, but banjo is what I save my teensy bit of energy at the end of the day for.

[-] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

Jogging, baking, Chinese tea ceremony when I can afford it.

Tabletop wargaming, specifically the hex and counter kind. Only one I've really played is Panzer Leader, but I'm looking to expand my collection.

I'm getting back into bike riding, it feels awesome to propel myself so quickly without an engine, and the place I live in is relatively bike-friendly, for the USA at least.

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

I 3D print and paint models that I think are cool. Maybe I'll post some

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

I like staring at the sun and moon at various parts of the day and night. This is what passes as backyard astronomy in suburbia.

[-] Lerios@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

art. but mostly digital art these days because i vibe with it better and have a really unhealthy obsessive relationship with ctrl-z, so dont worry, i'm still getting my daily 16 hours of screentime! blob-no-thoughts

Add distillation if you love yeast!

[-] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

Being outside. Climbing, hiking, singing

[-] Catfish@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 11 months ago

I like reading, shooting my slingshot, hanging out with the goats, sometimes I play the low whistle. I can't think of anything other than that right now.

[-] raven@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Making little crochet stuffed animals.

[-] flees@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

3d printing and modeling. I also write, but more like I wrote as I haven’t done anything since my last book.

[-] envis10n@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

I do programming, game development and music production as my major hobbies.

[-] Comp4@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Tabletop wargames. Currently just 40k. Played different games over the years. Planning to maybe play some other systems down the road like Infinity or Conquest.

[-] Babs@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Remote control robot combat. Like Battlebots or Robot Wars, but much smaller. 1lb and 3lb weight classes currently, but looking to expand when I have the time and money.

[-] Blep@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Playing videogames in person. Going to tournaments

[-] GladimirLenin@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Gardening. Planting trees, vegetables and flowers and shit. So satisfying watching those little fellas grow.
