I like to say I'm a musician and a game developer, but it's been so long since I've seriously participated in either that I don't think I deserve to describe myself as such right now.
I enjoy languages, which I do actively study unprofessionally.
Aside from my actual day job, I spend most of my time playing whichever single game I'm hyperfocusing on at the moment, although I would rather be doing one of the aforementioned hobbies.
I make pretty things out of wood.
Many many.
Music, motorsports, computers, gaming old and new, climbing, rc cars, CRTs, fixing up music gear, reel to reels, records, CDs, mild programming, board games, reading
I wish i wasnt interested in everything!!
Constructed languages, ham radio, homelabbing though that’s more my job now.
Megagames!
They're a cross between role playing games and board games, for many players (30-50 or higher, my max is 250). Watch this video if you want to know more: https://youtu.be/hN71v9H_gg8
This is my jam. I'll be exhausted but there's so much going on, it's insane. They're 1 day events, and having a beer with the other players afterwards is where loads more stories come out. I've done serious crisis simulation, whimsical fantasy games, historical games, war games, and all kinds of games in between. If this appeals to you, there's a calendar of upcoming games here https://www.megagameassembly.com/megagame-calendar
Knitting and worrying
panics, runs out of the room
If you keep running that'd be a hobby in itself.
Get my angry upvote
I love to gate keep! But it's not going well.
PSH, you call that bad, my gates WAY worse.
*limps away*
Math, programming, having nightmares.
Ah, so you have one hobby?
Drawing.
Also spending days rearranging files into more sophisticated structures, finally noticing that it's becoming horribly convoluted enough to be unmaintainable, and tearing the structure down again.
I'm a terrible drummer and worse producer, and I like to play games.
Reading, creative and technical writing, tabletop gaming, miniature / fine art painting, photography, listening to and writing music (dungeon synth, extreme metal, folk, electronica), hiking, cinema
I am a self-taught juggler. I taught myself at the age of six
Nail polish, gaming, and baking primarily.
Ooo thank you for reminding me that I need to paint my nails!
3d printing
Crochet
Painting
Miniatures (I'm building my niece a dollhouse)
Baking
Robotics/Arduino
Sewing
I do have Adhd and no money, as you can imagine
any resources you'd recommend for getting into 3d printing?
It's always good to join 3dprinting@lemmy.world but the best resource is Youtube. There are a lot of different creators that talk about different parts of the process. From which machine to choose, to calibrating it for the first time.
The "getting into" part of 3d printing is buying the machine the rest of the time is you trouble shooting wtf is going wrong lol so there isn't one specific place.
Watch voidstarlab, get excited, buy a bambulab printer, watch slant3d, learn some cad software, profit.
Gaming, weight training, reading, nail painting, just getting started on lock picking.
reading literature, history, and academic stuff. I have been reading several books about the creation of the MFA programs in the USA, for example. i also like studying languages and have studied 7. i also dig fountain pens and fancy pencils and stationary, makes writing and note taking a very enjoyable experience.
Mountain biking/cycling. I also do advocacy and education and trail building for this and have CPR/first aid wilderness certs I have to re-up every couple of years. hiking and camping too.
I also am into gaming, cooking, and DIY projects but that is touch and go depending on the season or other stuff going on. i mostly only game when it's winter or I'm injured/sick. I also love training my pets. My dog and I have done several training programs and my cat is basically a well-trained dog.
usually people think at least one of my hobbies is some social faux pas when they find out about it.
I study biochem/microbiology. Recently there's been a new(?) discovery about photoresperation actually being benificial to the plant. Photo respiration is when photosynthesis accidentally happens to an oxygen which creates toxic molecules and was always thought of as wasteful. Billions of dollars have been spent to 'solve' this problem when, unsurprisingly, billions of years of evolution have solved it already.
IMO it's why plants don't do as well as we expect with high CO² concentrations (iirc)... the paper is behind a pay wall though, so I haven't read the whole thing yet but the mechanism has unfortunately been called the Bloom Cycle and is set to confuse countless undergrads in the future.
Hecc yes, another train person
Well, shit, there's 2 of us. I believe we're now contractually obligated to form mutually exclusive model railroading communities here. ;)
The pact is sealed.
Sign me up. It's been a few years, but I still have a few modules of my N scale teenage budget build in the basement. Now I actually have the budget for model railroading, but I no longer have the time. My favorite stretch of rail is the Spessartrampe in Germany. It's one of the older stretches in Germany and until recently, they were still using a helper engine to push freight up the grade because it exceeded the maximum load on the couplers. Such an interesting operation!
