My hobbies are more for practical function than hobbies.
I design and 3D print things to fit my specific needs, rather than compromise with something store-bought. I recently made a USB cable holder that matches the profile of edge banding on a desk I refurbished.
I made a bed, refurbished a desk and made a dressing bench. I have plans to make an entryway table.
I sewed a cover for the pad for the headboard of the bed I made. I’ll make another one for the bench whenever the fabric shows ups. I also made a t-shirt last year, one that fits me.
I have 3 hobbies, Crochet, 3d Printing and Cooking. All 3 are the same “why have lots of money if few money do trick?” vibes
sir, I’m a poster,
(depression is coming back and all of my hobbies are exhausting now)
Guitar and 40K, guitar because it just clicked with me, I love music and it does things for me that nothing else can, and 40K because I just love stupid shit.
CloneHero drumming on an e-kit. Still suck at it, still love doing it, every day.
It’s a great challenge and a real workout in one.
Beekeeping. Every day’s a school day.
I used to have a hive box, my bees were so nice and gave me the best honey ever.
Bicycling and partner dancing. I spend time in front of the computer for work and for fun, so I need some active hobbies to balance that out. Biking combines the thrill of exploration with the ritual of gear preparation and the endorphins and physical effects of exercise. Dancing is deeply perceptive on both auditory and physical levels. It encourages me to be social and approach people I don’t know. Together, it’s about the balance for me. If I loaded cases of beer onto trucks all day I’d probably be a professional hammock-er when I got home.
LARP, specifically full-contact. It’s a craft-heavy environment where you can smash people with a stick and get beat on yourself, then drink roughly four to eighteen beers by a fire. It’s got crafts, catharsis, sports, partying, camping, and shenanigans built in.
What is your favourite hobby
I enjoy programming and listening to music. Between the 2, I would rate music higher than programming.
what do you value it for?
I’m not sure what this means in this context. Could you explain?
What is it you enjoy so much about it?
Oh, I enjoy all the different genres of music; how they can make you feel different things.
Jiu-Jitsu. It’s fun, it’s good exercise, there’s lots to learn, and you make friends fast when you’re rolling around sweating all over each other.
gaming. freind got DnD when I was young and still love all sorts of tabletop and computer. Why? Its fun.
I do a lot of gardening and cooking.
Sourdough bread is probably my favorite because it still blows my mind that flour, water, and salt are the only inputs and can deliver a loaf I could sell for $8-10. Literally some of the best bread I’ve ever eaten, and there is no reason it should even work.
Gardening is sometimes magical and sometimes tragically frustrating.
Yoga I value because it keeps my body and mind in good shape.
Can you share good resources for making sourdough bread?
The website The Perfect Loaf has been a big help. His recipes look funny but it is because he’s using bakers %, you don’t need to be that precise.
The book Tartine Bread also helped me get better at making bread.
If you have a robust starter, sourdough is so much easier and more forgiving than a dough made with commercial yeast.
Music. Because it’s sound, even when I’m at my most lethargic, depressed, and too exhausted to do anything, I can enjoy it just by feeling its vibrations in my body.
Collecting rare and high-quality pages on the internet, especially personal websites. In this age of social media where information flow is manipulated by algorithms, the culture of personal link collections is all the more necessary.
Nice, it’s probably a good idea to collect certain websites. Would you share some of them?
Thx, I’ll check it out!
Do you know about Neocities?
Yes, I know about it. My specialty is personal websites in the Japanese-speaking world, which is my native language, and some of the website creators occasionally use this service.
For example, DJ Telematic Visions does.
Origami.
It is affordable, fun, can be quite useful and once you reach certain level is an art form.
Drums! It’s honestly just a lot of fun and a bit zen, depending on what you’re playing. I don’t play in a band anymore, but they’re still a blast. I try to play at least a couple times a week.
