Do you have any hobbies outside of gaming?

When I feel ambitious, I like to read really old books. I'm currently bouncing in and out of "Meditations" by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

- gym, every day
- reading (trying for 2 books a month in 2017, currently reading Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman)
- bouldering (indoor rock-climbing low enough to not need a harness)
- guitar, try to get a few hours practice a week
- piano (not very good, been playing on and off for 6 or 7 years)
- drawing, only recently started doing this
- programming, i try to not do too much of this since i do it for a living, but i like to do some small projects every now and then to stay on top of new things
- reading theory of computation texts and practising math
- i'm sure i'm not the only one here who's into F1 now, i have kind of fallen off watching hockey in the last few years and F1 has replaced it for me

Cycling, Motorcycling, Electronics design and repair, and various coding/hardware projects.

Then repairing cars is not really a hobby but I enjoy it. 8 hours in a 32ºF/0ºC wrenching on something makes me feel so much better than playing a game. Honestly, games are like the back burner hobby. Although, getting HD out of old consoles has led to a dangerous E-Bay purchase history.

Brewing beer, writing, and 3-d printing are my main hobbies outside of gaming.

sci-fi and fantasy reading, anime, and hiking.

sports, music, karaoke

Do tertiary still-nerdy things apply? I build gunpla and play warhammer 40k.

I just started getting into hunting, and I'm trying to plan a trip for that soon.

I do a lot of writing, mostly articles about games, although sometimes also short fiction or other kinds of articles. I also play the piano and now and then I'll code something for fun.

Art and music, used to read comics as well but found it hard to keep up with(and expensive).

I run Marathons (usually around 6 a year) and average around 120 km during an default practice week, so a lot of my free time goes into running.

Besides that I play tennis on a regular basis, go to our 2nd division local soccer team, am into comics and occasionally watch wrestling.

Man.. I feel so fucking unproductive reading this haha. I wish I could say I atleast still work out, but that's fallen to the way side this year. Got to change that. Anyhow I guess I watch a lot of YouTube to unwind. But a lot of those channels are gaming related. If anyone is interested check out Joseph Andersons channel by the same name. Best video game analysis out there imo, besides the more technical Digitial Foundry.

Motorcycling is something I do in my spare time. I gotta give my Honda NC700x and Honda NM4 as much love as I can outside of work and gaming.

I'd really like to start buying old surplus guns. I'm not into gun-rights politics, but I think some of those things are pretty rad. I'm about to get a new job and as soon as I do, I'm gonna buy myself an SKS.

I love books and reading. I run every day because #exercise or something. I also collect Starbucks "you are here collection" coffee mugs? I think it's just fun.

Can Yoga be a hobby? I do Yoga, Watch anime, TV shows, Movies.. lots of stuff that does not require movement.

Working out (kettlebells/elliptical bike/yoga), Reading non-fiction, TV shows, Movies. I want to get back into sketching/digital painting and I am also going to start a DVD/Blu-Ray collection of all my favourite stand-up comedians.

Nothing that compares at all to gaming, but i actually play games a lot less now and spend a lot of time reading about things surrounding the industry, watching others play games, talking about games, what i do is almost always about games.
I love martial arts movies, but everyone likes movies.
I love, love love skateboarding, but i'm too fragile now to do it myself so i watch a lot of skating channels on youtube.
I wouldn't say i play the guitar, despite having played it for something like a decade i only really pick it up for 15 minutes or so whenever i feel like it.

Gaming is the number 1 hobby of mine.

I grew up playing sports but since moving across the country for work I've since stopped. I still exercise regularly so there's that I suppose.

I do ASMR. I'm a weirdo, I know.

Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. Its like playing a video game but real life. Addictive and also sucks up all of your free time.

I watch anime.

Beyond the usual reading stuff/watching stuff/killing time on the internet trifecta, I run two D&D groups, do creative writing, political volunteering/activism and enough working out to not hate myself.

More minorly, I dabble in guitar off and on and have recently started poking at making games.

I also used to do a lot of theater but haven't touched it in about two years after some bad experiences.

I play ice hockey and baseball.

Reading, watching TV/anime and films (especially films), and just started getting into working out. Gotta lose that stomach that's starting to grow. Plus keeping healthy is always nice.

And since it's summer, roller coasters!! :D

Gym

Cooking

Comic Books

Movies

Due to slight ADHD, I always struggled with reading, but since I bought a Kindle, I've managed to start reading a few books a month. Having a Kindle helps me easily define words if I don't quite know what it means, and allows me to make notes to keep my interest. So I'm happy to say reading is a hobby.

Other than that, I make videos of gaming sessions with my friend, watch wrestling (have since '94), and collect Funko Pops.

Pretty generic really.

Musician. Saxophone (Alto/Tenor/Soprano). Classical and Jazz.

Joining dating sites, regretting it, deleting my account, then making another one

You're missing out on the baritone sax! :D

I can play bari juuuuuust fine, I just don't own one.

@frostyryan: That's very relatable

Cardistry is the big one, for me. Started practicing early 2014.

I have to keep explaining to people that it's NOT magic, but fancy shuffling.

Betther show than tell, so here's some of my performance:

Here's a couple people WAYYY better than me, for a better showcase:

Can you move your feet the way Leo P of Too Many Zoos can while playing?

@ikabubu: how........

How does your hand even do those things lol

@rubberbabybuggybumpers:Had to look that up, but yeah sure. Had to do some field show and parade nonsense in high school band class, but I imagine most musicians can do something similar. Big part of learning to play an instrument is learning how to do different things with different parts of your body at the same time.

I love antique guns man, it's something I've thought about getting into for a long time; it's not something that's easy to do in the state I live though.

Look at these things, they're amazing,

I like playing Magic the Gathering and the Pokemon Trading Card game. I'm not any good and usually don't have much time to play. I just like to play.

?o_0? Ooooooo! Pretty... I have a fascination with old WW2 rifles. That stuff is a little too fancy for me, but I see the appeal.

Got a small figure collection. Prefer to keep it small and curated.

Nope. Just gaming. I'm pretty one-dimensional.
