panics, runs out of the room

I love to gate keep! But it's not going well.

Piracy!

Math, programming, having nightmares.

Drawing.

Also spending days rearranging files into more sophisticated structures, finally noticing that it's becoming horribly convoluted enough to be unmaintainable, and tearing the structure down again.

I'm a terrible drummer and worse producer, and I like to play games.

I am a self-taught juggler. I taught myself at the age of six

Reading, creative and technical writing, tabletop gaming, miniature / fine art painting, photography, listening to and writing music (dungeon synth, extreme metal, folk, electronica), hiking, cinema

3d printing

Miniatures (I'm building my niece a dollhouse)
Baking

Sewing

I do have Adhd and no money, as you can imagine

Improv, ukelele, marxism

• improv
• piano
• rollerblading
• video games

Gaming, weight training, reading, nail painting, just getting started on lock picking.

reading literature, history, and academic stuff. I have been reading several books about the creation of the MFA programs in the USA, for example. i also like studying languages and have studied 7. i also dig fountain pens and fancy pencils and stationary, makes writing and note taking a very enjoyable experience.

Mountain biking/cycling. I also do advocacy and education and trail building for this and have CPR/first aid wilderness certs I have to re-up every couple of years. hiking and camping too.

I also am into gaming, cooking, and DIY projects but that is touch and go depending on the season or other stuff going on. i mostly only game when it's winter or I'm injured/sick. I also love training my pets. My dog and I have done several training programs and my cat is basically a well-trained dog.

usually people think at least one of my hobbies is some social faux pas when they find out about it.

• Automobile repair
• Magic the Gathering
• Model trains

I study biochem/microbiology. Recently there's been a new(?) discovery about photoresperation actually being benificial to the plant. Photo respiration is when photosynthesis accidentally happens to an oxygen which creates toxic molecules and was always thought of as wasteful. Billions of dollars have been spent to 'solve' this problem when, unsurprisingly, billions of years of evolution have solved it already.

IMO it's why plants don't do as well as we expect with high CO² concentrations (iirc)... the paper is behind a pay wall though, so I haven't read the whole thing yet but the mechanism has unfortunately been called the Bloom Cycle and is set to confuse countless undergrads in the future.

Cooking, baking, home canning! Gardening when it's the season! Knitting when I remember!

Is Gear Acquisition Syndrome a hobby? Lol

Origami and making clothes. I'm decent at the former, not self confident enough at the latter.

I have a comic that I work on when I have the time and energy for. If not some random doodles or drawing maps and sometime NPCs amongst my prep for my dnd game. Some times I play videogames too but I find it hard to really sink into it the way I did when I was a kid.

• home improvement

• road cycling

• ethical philosophy

• videogame design

Reading random wikipedia articles about whatever comes to my mind

Boardgaming!

I own a modest company collection, run weekly boardgame nights, and demo boardgames at conventions for a large publisher. It helped me meet a lot of fantastic people. Boardgamers are some of the coolest nerds out there.

Many many.

Music, motorsports, computers, gaming old and new, climbing, rc cars, CRTs, fixing up music gear, reel to reels, records, CDs, mild programming, board games, reading

I wish i wasnt interested in everything!!

Making stuff with my 3D printer and CNC milling machine. And petting cats.

Gaming, programming, nail painting, 3d printing, and any random bs crafting idea that crosses my field of vision.

Gardening on my roof. Herbs, veggies, flowers, even trees.

• Reading
• Gaming
• Selfhosting
• Magic: The Gathering
• TTRPGs (D&D 5e, Shadowrun 6e, Midgard 5e)

Cooking. Being gigantic means ya boi eats. So why not enjoy what I eat? I never understood the protein shake drinkers.

1. I read a lot, mostly fantasy, science fiction, and mysteries, plus some non-fiction.
2. I play and run non-computer roleplaying games. I started in 1976 and have been at it ever since.
3. I have recently taken up playing the recorder, mostly tenor. My wife and a friend play with me.

Weightlifting, gaming, following politics.
