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

i took up drawing this year and enjoy it a lot, i'm not good at it quite yet but it is cheap to start, fun, you can do it pretty much anywhere, and it's given me a nice confidence boost tbh because i was always convinced it was something i could never do. i like that i'm always learning something new with it too, and progressing in a visible way. i'm not looking at it with the aim of making money though, it's for fun & good for my brain. highly recommend.

For fitness running, walking and weightlifting. For creativity reading, writing, sketching. For money, software development.

I'd recommend keeping a semi regular (daily to weekly) diary above everything else. It's been invaluable to be able to check in with myself. It's also fun to work on your lettering.

I don't have any. I play videogames almost every day but it's just more out of routine than enjoyment, hell few days playing ranked matches ruins my mood and I quit before losing because fuck them, is ruining my night anyways.

Never too late to pick up a hobby. Can be intimidating to start exploring and trying new stuff, but it’s worth it.

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.

Drawing, videogames, and swimming.
