I've been stuck in the work, recharge, repeat cycle for about a decade now. I'm looking to get back into hobbies and activities to enjoy my free time and possibly meet other folks.

I've heard you should have 3 types of hobbies: something to keep you fit, something to keep you creative, and something that can make some money. I've considered gym/triathlon (fitness) and woodworking (creative/income).

What are your hobbies? Anything you recommend I try out?

I own an LGS, so my hobbies have become part of my job. Before i opened i built and painted miniatures, and played a lot of miniature games. I also played RPGs and MTG quite a bit.

Now, i guess my hobbies would be my old job, audio engineering.

I guess those letters mean something in English.

Local games shop, role-playing game, magic the gathering

Somehow still can't understand a few of those words. Yeah, I'm dumb.

A local game shop is a shop where you can go and purchase games, typically board games, card games (tcg, or trading card games, lcg, or living card games), miniature games, role-playing games (Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Vampire the Masquerade, and many many others) in which you assume the role of a character you create and roll dice to help randomize the successes and failures of your character. To go with the RPGs and miniature games I also sell dice.

Magic the Gathering is the first, largest, and oldest of the Trading Card Games (TCGs) where you buy packs of randomized cards and use those cards to build a deck to compete against other players. Other games in the genre as Pokémon TCG, YuGiOh!, Lorcana, Flesh and Blood, Weiß Schwarz, and Star Wars Unlimited.

I liked Pokémon as a kid. I had leaf green on my GBA

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

You might check out the tcg then.

Aren't they usually called FLGS (Friendly local game store)? Or is yours just decidedly unfriendly? :>

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Both are used. The F is a recent addition and seems to throw a lot of people do most of the shops I know just use LGS. That said I am a grumpy old neurodivergent, so the F can be questionable (this is a joke, I mask for almost all customers).
