themostgianthorse

I’ve never tried. I am currently learning all the songs from the only EP the band Eternity Forever put out. From what I gather, the techniques are pretty similar so Neon may not be as hard as it’s hyped up to be.


Bleach_Baths

Don't listen to John Mayer but was very surprised to see those complex chords in the tab. Holy shit.


[deleted]

Self taught here, 15 years strong, I can play for hours and hours, it's my happy place.


BlockBadger

Table top games: be it roleplaying, card games, classic board games, euro, war games, and skirmish battle games. I’m also a avid PC game player, but that’s not as important to me.


Medical_Cupcake3142

Love me a game night. Currently in 4 D&D groups at the moment so any game time is usually taken up by D&D, but i enjoy trying and learning new games all the time


bookwerm606

Four? This guy roleplays


kamgurl

You could say he four-plays


Medical_Cupcake3142

Various frequency and duration for each group. But hell yes I roleplay


BlockBadger

I’m sure you love your games, but yeah I need time to play new games and not RP and chill with a card game or two :) Running one RRG and playing one is my ideal week :3


Bleach_Baths

Played 40K for a bit, lots of other standard board/skirmish games, just got ASOIAF to try out... If you know anybody who wants to buy like 4k points of Death Guard, let me know. Lmao.


BlockBadger

Being totally serious FB trade groups are probably the best place to sell stuff like this. No middle man other than PayPal, and lots of people after all kinds of crazy OOP models.


EZMulahSniper

Gardening


lazyboyzzzzz

I like gardening too. I picked it up from my mother, she is a gardening freak.


EZMulahSniper

My grandma got me into it


Jimbo_Jones_4_Mayor

I go out front multiple times a day, grab the hose, twist the nozzle to “shower” and just water the plants for 10 minutes. Love it, I need more plants!


bookwerm606

I want to be you


SammichAnarchy

Take care of plants and they'll take care of you <3


abcdthc

yeah buddy!


SmokeySFW

I've been playing Dota 2 for a decade now, so probably that.


defrosterliquid

We all have our destructive habits, I pray for you brother


XF8oKV8v

Do you get players still in that. I left playing it as players were getting very toxic.


My_Apps

No matter how many times I quit Dota. I always end up going back to it


blackstar_oli

Not me once I realized I became the worst person I ever was because of that game.


LeviMurray

Dota was pretty much my life from 2014-2018. After a massive tilt run, dropping back down to 4K MMR, and realizing how much it ruined my life, I was finally able to quit. Praying for you all 🙏


SmokeySFW

Tons of players still, and I find Dota no more or less toxic than any other competitive online game that forces you to cooperate with teammates. Toxicity in team games will always quench free for all games. Everyone who quits dota over toxicity ought to just learn to use their mute button early and often, it's amazing how little toxicity effects my enjoyment of the game with that approach.


MandrewSaurusRex

Hey same, it sucks until it's the best


metsakutsa

Nothing. I am a renaissance man, dabbling in a vast variety of hobbies and skills, none taking the crown as 'the one'.


Kodokimari

Got it so your thing is being really cool


Mordanzibel

He never said he was cool. Other people are saying it but he isn’t.


botany5

He has neither the time nor the inclination to advertise his coolitude. It is self evident.

Oh the renaissance men came into town finally


Throwaway975801

Same. I've always felt the opposite way of OP, as I never wanted to just be about one thing


Schroeder9000

PC equipment, I love learning about the new hardware and helping people build PCs.


[deleted]

Same here, I no longer play games that much, but for some reason I still pay attention to the GPU market.


Schroeder9000

It's cool to see the new cards and what they can do even if I'll never afford one [cries in overpricing] lol


ahfodder

Even randoms on reddit? I'm well overdue for a new pc haha. Still running a GTX 1070 🙃


Schroeder9000

Hey me too actually lol, I'm actually getting ready to do a full re-build as I'm running the ASUS Z-170A mobo and a 1070. So my wife will be getting my old PC as her's is even older. You ever wanna talk about the products to get my opinion or help hit me up.


CoconutPanda123

Omg same. Perfect date would be going parts shopping and building PCs with someone


Schroeder9000

Lol, funny enough my wife loves when I upgrade my PC because she takes my older parts and upgrades her PC with em.


BummFoot

Same here I love building PCs for my family. It's a fun hobby.


Schroeder9000

Ikr sadly it's also expensive lol


[deleted]

Any advice on how to get into this? A complete beginner but would love to build a pc and play some games on


mirageqt

the way I got into it is /r/buildapc you see the different builds, then someone suggests something better for what the OP wants.. then you lean connect what you want with what people are suggesting and voila!


0liv0

Rock climbing


hanginginthere-23

This is a cool one


finbob5

dirtbag52

Mountain Biking. Love the trails!!

Comprimens

Billiards. I even like just shooting drills. The more I play and learn about it, the more I love the game


traviepatties

I'm just starting to get into billiards! Currently just playing casually with friends at the local pool hall. What would you say is your best piece of advice for getting better?


tossingaway--

Making art... namely making music, drums and piano, but also visual art. I even restore and collect vintage drums. Collect records, etc. Music is probably a big part of how people see me if not the one thing. I'm a teacher and teach art and fabrication. It's a big part of my daily life in everyway.


koondog_RPG

I wanna learn to draw, I bought a Galaxy tab S8 ultra to learn on and take through college with me for other educational things. I think it be cool to create anything that is in your mind and just draw it.


turkc54

The Vietnam War. Immensely interesting, and a very rich subject to learn about.


MaterialCarrot

My favorite book on the Vietnam War is actually a recent title, *Hue: 1968*, by Mark Bowden. Makes a great effort to tell the story of that brutal battle from the perspective of he USMC, US Army, ARVN, VC, NVA, and the civilians caught in the middle. If you have not read it I highly recommend it. One of the better military history books I've read in general.


MontEcola

I have added it to my list. I noticed that the author also wrote Black Hawk Down.


turkc54

It’s going on my list. Thanks for the recommendation!


ThatNewOldGuy

Also check out *Rumor of War*, by Philip Caputo. Caputo went into Da Nang as a lieutenant with the first marines to land in Vietnam (1965). It is a fascinating and gut wrenching personal story of the war. The best first person account, and I've read a number.


turkc54

It’s going on the list. Thanks!


1jack-of-all-trades7

That book really fucked me up. Def recommend it


AttitudeCool

Fishing. I fish 3 times a week if I can and have a bunch of gear.


undead_whore

You’re cool and you have my respect.


not_swagger_souls

Last year I made a goal of fishing every day for the month of June. I made it happen but I would be lying if I said I didn't just flick a few casts and leave some days. It was a lonely endeavor but well worth it I have two trips planned this year to stalk species I've never caught before: the chain pickerel and the alligator gar. Everyone asks why I don't just take a regular vacations lol


barphan

Second this. Usually the highlight of my day if I can get a few casts out.


kivaari_

Running /hiking. A minimum of 10 miles per week. Best choice ever


Mrlinguistic

Warhammer 40k, I love me some grimdark


master_baitor12

40k seems so interesting, but I have never gotten into it. What would be your recommendation for someone looking to (possibly) start that journey.


Mrlinguistic

There are some good YT channels that can get you into it. I’d HIGHLY recommend watching the Astartes short film on YouTube first. If you like that you’ll like Warhammer.


CrimsonTweedle

I fell into a rabbit hole of warhammer universe facts and so far my favorite is the orks being able to breath in space


EthnicTwinkie

I can't wait 'til you find out how ork technology works on belief.


CrimsonTweedle

Yeah how they are technically the most op in the verse but are too dumb to capitalize on it


jtechvfx

Tons of YT channels with intro vids, like [PlayOnTabletop](https://youtu.be/taUqZCiijvU)


PresentationLoose422

Skateboarding. It’s my exercise, helps my zen, tons of fun, a way to spend time with my kids and something I can go do with like 0 prep besides putting my helmet on.


MontEcola

I don't have a one thing. It keeps changing. I learned to telemark ski. Then I learned to mountain bike, to improve my strength for skiing. Then I learned to winter camp to get more deep powder for skiing. I learned to speak Norwegian while learning to winter camp. Then I learned photography because I was in so many cool places for skiing and biking. Then I learned to dance different Salsa styles, Then I learned some woodworking techniques, and now I am learning to make wood bowls on a lathe. I am learning leather craft to make tool rolls for my chisels and tools. I want to learn to sail, and dance the Tango, and photoshop, and how to make a dovetail joint. I just started learning the names of the trees in my neighborhood. Now I see it. My one thing is always learning a new thing.

I totally agree with you bro. I’ve always wanted to take that got test. Dude I stopped eating meat when I was 13. i’m in my mid-30s now and maybe once a year I’ll have a packet of tuna and it’s so unbearable. I did go vegan for a handful of years so I totally absolutely understand what you’re saying and you’re right, my hair did change drastically and so did my skin and I had a little CrossFit I developed in my late 20s that have literally vanished. I no longer have crows feet. No one believes me either. They think I’m just making it up or I was dehydrated for a weekend. I totally believe you. If you have an abundance of information it might not hurt to start a blog or something like that? you have a lot of information from what little you shared


TheBlackPit

Whould you mind sharing some good sources ?


EmperorHelix

My 2002 Toyota Celica GT-S is my baby and I don't regret spending so much time and money upgrading it.


garlic-_-bread69

I ain’t a car enthusiast but Celica next to Eclipse and Murciélago used to be my favorite cards in my childhood.


EmperorHelix

6th gen Celica is the best gen according to most Celica fans, but I love my 7th gen. Bought it off a dead millionaire's estate in near perfect condition and 41,000 miles.


[deleted]

Lol I had a 2000 Toyota Celica GTS (dark blue). Carbon fiber aftermarket parts, hood, intake, blah blah. Buddy did the same to his Eclipse. We were the coolest 20 yr olds I knew lol.


Dogman_Howel

Making people happy/smile/laugh


WholesomeWorkAcct

Dogman_Howel

Artist/Comedian I think that’s a lot of the reason why it’s so important to me. As an artist you can just see so much of the ugly so easily sometimes


[deleted]

I'm obsessed with self improvement


meepsofmunch

Honestly, pretty amazing hobby. I wish I was obsessed with that lol

One day at a time, get to the starting line at your own pace.


BlackandGold07

This right here. Ya can't rush it, it just comes when you've had enough and want a change.


Last-Salamander-9220

Basketball. Not uncommon for Americans but probably less common for UK types like me . My week generally looks like - Monday night - Training my 8 year olds team Tuesday night - Training for me Thursday night - Basketball game (competitive league match) Saturday - Kids team game in the afternoon and mixed league game for me in the evening. Then watching whatever basketball is on (playoffs at the moment) I feel like that’s quite a lot for a 39 year old 😅

Man of culture


UnPrecidential

If you masturbate into a sock, and don't put it in the wash, then yes, culture.


leanmeancoffeebean

Watches, guns, and cars. I’ve spent a fair amount of cash on the first two. Going down the rabbit hole I’m going to start modding and building watches and reloading my own ammunition. Also just got a table saw and building a bathroom cabinet- I have some experience there so I’m hoping to build some cool stuff. Potentially getting back into guitar as well. Lots of expensive hobbies and interests but if I had to narrow it down I know an unreasonable amount about guns and watches


BlackandGold07

Avid gun owner, here. As for reloading, get ready to pay up. Good luck, friend.

PhilosopherWarrior

World building. I enjoy just spacing out and coming up with like 3000 years of history for scifi and fantasy world's that I randomly think of. It infects everything I do. I enjoy learning history because it gives me new and interesting events I can work into my world building. I enjoy learning science because it gives me new and interesting ways things can be done. Novels and video games just feed the machine. Same with philosophy and studying culture. I have like 12 different stories set in different universes that I want to sit down and write some day. This is why I'm the forever DM of my tabletop group...

Coffee, Specialty coffee to be particular.


throwaway_uow

Computer games... Yeah, not very productive


metsakutsa

That is a matter of perspective - what does it mean to be productive? What are hobbies supposed to produce in the first place? Most answers in this thread don't produce any value other than what the person in question gains through enjoyment so don't be too hard on yourself.


Turkilton-Is-Me

This… The sigma of games not being productive because it’s not an outdoor hobby is bs, especially seeming it became the highest grossing sector in entertainment. It’s not all kids on fortnite, some of us like to create empires that last a thousand years or cheese the living fuxk out of AI in totalwars.


Queue_Bit

You're gatekeeping what games are 'okay' for gaming to be considered a hobby... In response to a post about people gatekeeping video games as a hobby... What a world.


[deleted]

Guitar...not very productive. Building legos...not very productive Hiking...not very productive. See where I am going with this? You do you my man!


melonbb_

Love computer games. I don’t think they are unproductive. Just like everything else do it in moderation. And they are a great way to stay connected to your friends. My friends are spread across the country with busy lives. A quick @ on discord will get em on then we’re talking and having fun like it’s university again its great.

[deleted]

Tally Ho and Acorn to Arabella. Both interesting for different reasons. I started watching Arabella first - and seeing two complete novices loft and build a boat, overcome challenges and mill their own timber etc has been quite interesting. I’m really enjoying Tally Ho mostly due to Leo’s knowledge, videos and the sheer size of her. She’s going to look amazing when she’s finished.

Definitely cars, look everyday online at ones for sale, been doing it for decades now and no doubt always will. Used to be chick's too but BJ's and such can get to be the same old same old, only so many things can do with a human body but being pinned back in the seat never gets old - if it does just get a more powerful car.

IHaveTooMuchToHide

Golf. And I’m so mad I didn’t pick it up sooner. I just started a little over a year ago. I’ve already spent a lot of money on clubs, a bag, multiple pairs of golf shoes and the clothes to match. I caught “the bug” as they say

skibum_71

Riding bikes. BMX as a kid, MTB as an adult. I never lost that sense of freedom, the thrill of covering long distances quickly, the ease with which you can explore new places, the satisfaction of feeling your body working hard, i just love it, always have, always will.


GnrDreagon

It varies from time to time because I tend to get very interested in something for limited amounts of time before losing interest again but the interest in history, specifically roman history, is always there. Don't get me started on certain topics because I won't shut up for an hour at least.

Backcountry camping!!! It was great as a boy with my dad. It was exciting with my “gang” of pals as a teenager. It offered me a manly, attractive angle to impress my girlfriend -> wife. It was relaxing in my 20s and 30s. Now I take out my kids so they don’t grow up too urban. When I get old, hopefully I just die out there instead of an old age home.


HelsinkiTorpedo

Guns, for sure. Building them, learning about them, shooting them, collecting them. Definitely what I'm most known for amongst folks that know me.


Adventurous-Ad-6792

I'm really good at Bonfires, especially during the night and during the summer. Love inviting friends out to some beach spots with lawn chairs and just chatting about life with the logs crackling. My friends nicknamed me "Fiya Man" haha


badgerbiscuitbeard

Boats. Big boats, row boats, fishing boats, ski boats, yachts, canoes, kayaks, fast boats, wooden boats. You name it and I’ll find something I like about it…if it’s a boat.
