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?

games, specifically far cry 2, 3 & 4 and overwatch. And punk shows, getting beaten up in a mosh while very drunk is truly refreshing/entertaining

Drawing, videogames, and swimming.

My hobby is reminiscing about the days when I had time for hobbies.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Photography, cryptography, anamorphosis art, regular art, writing, and hiking. Looking for people who also enjoy these.

Fighting games and Riichi Mahjong.

There's usually a local event for at least one of the games I play every month or so. I travel out to Combo Breaker every year for the big major as well.

For Riichi Mahjong, the local club here meets every week. Haven't had the chance to attend a big tournament yet, but I'm hoping I can fit one into my travel budget at some point.

If you work with your hands, rest with your mind. If you work with your mind, rest with your hands.

There's a lot of crossover here but off the top of the dome:

Hand-based hobbies -playing music -cooking -woodworking -lifting weights, running, climbing -building dioramas/models -art (needle craft, drawing/painting, sculpting) -**casual video games **

Mind-based hobbies -puzzles -fast paced video games -programming -learn a new language

Those in bold are what I do. Also starting to learn art. It's one of the lowest barrier to entry hobbies. All you need is paper and a pencil.
