Alternative hobbies for the pixally ill on P99

[Champion_Standing]

I am starting to get concerned with the amount of pixel related mental illnesses that are becoming more and more prevalent on P99. Earlier i had suggested building model airplanes or ships as an alternative outlet, what are some of your guys ideas?

Hobbies must include minimal to no interaction with other people (family excluded)
They must be mechanically or intellectually challenging to some degree, forget physical stuff we all know that shit ain't ever gonna happen.

I think if all the raid guilds just took a few weeks off EQ to build themselves a model airplane or ship it would really do them some good, give them some peace and quiet, and give them something to be proud of (100% confirmed being proud of a model airplane will never be as nerdy or desperate as being proud of pixels). Especially those of you with kids, you could do this together and maybe have a chance of not being a completely neglectful father.


Look at the pride on this mans face as he displays his model starship thing:

Or look at this family sitting down to spend some quality time face to face:

[Verath]

Bad advice man. These forums make for great entertainment, and it wouldn't be possible without P99.

I mean, that thread about whatever in some plane is hilarious.

Go buy an acoustic guitar from a pawn shop and teach yourself to play from youtube and ultimateguitar.com....You will need to learn to read "tablature"' or "tabs", but it is a very intuitive system - easy to learn from a few videos. I sit around and pick on my guitars all the time while playing EQ.

Or you can do like Filbus and practice writing homo erotic tween romance novelettes about elves. Then spend the rest of your spare time standing naked in front of the mirror asking yourself where it all went wrong and why life is so unfair (as he grabs handfuls of greasy flesh and lets silent tears flow unobstructed).

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

I have a pretty varied life. I collect vintage windows wallpapers, that's my main hobby. I have like a dozen so far. Here is my fave tho, kind of my "prize":

Filbus isn't online usually because he's out experimenting with drugs, rock climbing, camping, and blowing dudes.

One of those is a blatant lie, I'll let y'all figure it out.

[Fanguru]

Mmh, that's a tough one.
Drugs are not an outdoor activity, so I guess this is the lie?

[Swish]

I would recommend going to a gym at least a few times a week. A lot of fat angry players on blue looking to show how fit they are when it comes to the typed word (rule lawyering etc).

Go outside, join a gym... level yourself to 60 before your 7th alt gets there.

Racist hate speech, so sad. Yet another example of a pixel addled brain lashing out in hate at the suggestion that he spend time away from Norrath.

Hope he checks out On-Line Gamers Anonymous (http://www.olganon.org/home) "Sharing our experience, strength and hope to help each other recover and heal from problems caused by video game addiction."

Sometimes we don't have the strength to do it on our own, its OK to reach out for help guys.

Think that ship was like Battletech wasn't it? Seem to remember an animated series when I was young that had a converted ship as a main command ship.

you might also be interested to see the artist did a music video with Daft Punk about 3 or 4 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGBhQbmPwH8

The artist was like 70 years old when he made the music video. Japanese animators are bad asses.

Oh, that's a classic. You could fetch a high price for that one at an art auction.

I like to reorganize my Firefox bookmarks with new file trees about once a week. Does that count?

As long as they aren't EQ links, working on organization is a great activity I would say.

This thread is where people should go if they find lolcats too cerebral.

[maskedmelon]

I don't understand why this is in RnF ^^ Outside EQ though, I read. I used to draw a lot, but it's been a while ^^

Not when I've already settled on a system of organization, but then arbitrarily decide reorganize them the next week.

People like Ranndom have begun to turn Off-Topic into Infowars, so there is a flood of refugee threads coming into RnF.

delusional to the end, you must raid and attend batphone calls if you're already on... but hey guys we're super casual and family oriented despite our bad attitudes and terrible behavior.

Time they rewrote their code of conduct, they break it on the forums every week.

Pixel sickness man, the things it does to people. One day your calmly asking for civil behavior among guilds then the next your leapfrogging, KSing, Training and proudly bragging about it in RnF.

So many sad stories.

Is it too late for me to start a youtube channel for hot sauce enthusiasts? Or is that demo of youtube viewers pretty much already cornered?

[Gilder]

There was a kid I went to college with named Daniel. Dude was really weird. He would bring bottles of hot sauce to class and drink them during the lecture.

He would also lament lesbians for being a "waste of a good woman" so that lets you know where this guy was at in terms of mental stability.

Sure! This is America, there's always room for more loud opinions. Don't forget to tell the audience about the extreme levels of heat your leathery man-mouth can handle at every opportunity!

Something I like to do when not playing EQ is to fix my desk drawer. I like to make sure that every object in it has something next to it so that none of them have to be alone; and I try to make sure that none of them have to be out on the end of a group where they would be scared that something might get them.

When I'm done, and everything has its own place, and everything is ok, I cry really hard for a few minutes.
