    I'm wondering, besides mmos and video games, what other things do people enjoy?  Post your hobbies here and see if anyone else enjoys a similar pastime.

    Mine are:

    Home Brewing, Disc Golf and Toy Collecting. 

    I used to be very into backpacking/camping and I enjoy gardening...but as I get older I don't backpack as much...and my gardening is mostly regulated to tomatoes and hops these days.

    Share what you enjoy.

    Does work count?  I'm a portfolio manager in the financial services industry by day, and love that.  I'm a dad, a deacon, like to go to the gym, love all things Notre Dame, and when given the opportunity, like to write about MMORPGS.

    I play ice hockey, I play tennis, I play guitar (poorly), I ride horses, I read (mostly fantasy), I write (bad fantasy and poetry), I paint landscapes with oils, I cook, I garden, and I practice Spanish (feels like a hobby to me).

    I spend a lot of time designing board/card games of all kinds and then turning them into working prototypes. And when I'm lucky, sometimes the good ones get picked up by a publisher, which is the best kind of hobby :)

    Other than that, I mostly do MMA, working out, watching YouTube/Twitch, poker, shooting practice, drums, guitar, escape rooms, and high speed R/C car racing.

    Very cool, gotta have that fender eliminator! I did that on my last bike, but went with a brand new undertail on the R6, it has flushmount LED's built into it. I'll have to take a few pics of my mods in the next couple days when I'm off work.

    In my spare time I am a writer, I am currently working on a single book series which will probably go beyond 3 books. I am not a good writer by any means (I'm super lazy), but I try.

     

    I also like to do Amtgard, because I love fighting with sword and shield and playing those games. Not really into the RP side of it.

     

    I do a lot of fighting games, I try to keep up to date with Smash Bro's and Street Fighter but I'm leaning towards Rivals of Aether as my number 1. 

     

    honestly too sleepy to continue, lol.

     

    Oh, and I do a lot of clubbing. Love the music, the lights, the energy.

    Charity work, motorcycle riding, computers (I have a decent home network given that it's what I do for a living), motorcycle fixing, VP of a charity motorcycle "club", cooking, movies, books, photography, and other things that I am sure that I am forgetting.

    1. Writing - If you know what Quora.com is, let me know and let's connect. If you don't, take a look! It's a great site to practice your writing and for just general knowledge. Currently working on a book centered around the dating culture.
    2. If my avatar doesn't give it away already, I spend a lot of time at the pool hall.
    3. Backpacking. Now that I'm in the Pacific Northwest, my next goal is to backpack the continental divide trail. One day. 
    4. Been trying to teach myself how to create music using interfaces like FL Studio. YouTube has some decent tutorials, but that crap is confusing. 
    5. I play the piano when I can. Moved so often that it became ridiculous to lug around my upright, so I sneak in the local church every couple weeks to jam out. 
    6. Otherwise, being a general nomad - is that a hobby? By my count, I've moved 10 times within the last 2 years. Maybe that's just a weird quirk, and not a hobby. Whatever. 

    Lots of outdoorsy folks here, that's awesome.
