There’s no end for computers.
I’m with my Linux build. Co-worker is proud of their windows 11 build. We can still nerd about new upgrades/optamising our separate work flows.
My hobby is building cosplay weapons/props or just building shit in general. I get to look at the thing I made and go “holy shit, I made that with my crafting skills and my own 2 hands!”. I made Guts’s sword from Berserk before and I get to swing it around. I tend to enjoy hobbies that requires hands-on work the most like woodworking, helping my dad fix engines/car/boat stuff, playing with legos, and such.
It challenges my creativity because I also like doing prop design in visual development/drawing/illustration. So when I design my own weapon(s) and I can make it into 3D art for display. My whole room will be filled with cardboard swords and guns one day.
I finally know why I am the weirdo at parties.
I wouldn’t call model railroading my main hobby, as I only touch it once in a while. But that’s also what I do love about it. You leave it packed away in a closet for YEARS, then one rainy day you stumble across those boxes & decide to unpack them. And they still work like you remember as a kid. It’s like reconnecting with an old friend.
Cooking: I love having friends or family come over for lunch or dinner and serving them something that they rave about.
Hiking: The quiet, still moments when there’s no-one else (other than my wife who I usually hike with) around and we can absorb the sights and sounds of nature.
Role-playing games: When the story we’re all creating together comes together perfectly.
I basically unlock new superpowers as I work on self-servicing infrastructure
The people.
Boardgame fans are often very smart and aware.
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.
It’s so ruinously expensive that I can’t afford any vices.
Is it a horse, a boat, or warhammer 40K?
A fixer-upper century house, so at least on paper I’m not losing all that money.
Been there, done that. It’s not the destination, it’s the skills you gain along the way
I mean, it’d be nice to have all three bedrooms functional at the same time, since there’s five of us living here.
Ouch, living in the works area can be taxing for family life. Kuddos for pulling it out!
I’ve been golfing (yea, I am aware that the majority of Lemmy hates golf) a lot more recently. I enjoy that it’s something that can be done with people of varying skill levels while still being fun. Ultimately, the competition is just with yourself to keep improving.
I just don’t like paying that much to suck at something so hard
Yeah, it’s definitely not the cheapest sport. I’ve got a buddy in Texas who uses an app that finds him cheap golf for a like $10-$20 a round. Apparently if you don’t mind playing at shitty courses in hot weather at 1:00PM on a Tuesday, you can play on the cheap.
Lemmy hates golf? Never noticed. Weird.
Golf courses and some golfers I could see
It’s the golf courses I would imagine, and you can’t really have golf without them.
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”.
Plants don’t have opinions and flowers are pretty.
i became obsessed with succulents a while back, when i was still in subs for identifying plants/succulents. really wanted to grow some but.
Sailing, because it’s dozens of hobbies in one: It’s a competitive sport either with a team or solo, or it can be a relaxing diversion, or it can be a terrifying personal challenge. It can encompass skills such as sewing, woodworking, machining, plumbing, physics, mathematics, design, navigation, radio communication, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, environmental sciences, electronics/electrical engineering, history, linguistics, culinary skills, and more. You can basically always be thinking about it!
The primary technique is stabbing.
I make felt sculptures.
While its technically correct to call fondled, dead people taxidermy “felt sculptures,” it still doesn’t seem right.
Before the fondling they’re called pre-felt.
That’s a joke for my felting homies.
How many times have you stabbed yourself? Or is that a mistake you only make once?
I’m essentially a pincushion now.
It saves me thousands of dollars that are immediately spent on tools!
