Anyone picked up a new hobby since covid lockdowns started?

I found a used surfskate a little while ago and it's been my jam. Nice way to turn off the brain for a little while and even burn a few calories.

Nice board, my hobbies haven't changed with covid. Still doing nerd stuff (https://www.project1999.com/forums/album.php?albumid=295). Missing hot metal and the smell of burnt 2 stroke.

Gotta do what we gotta do.

I hope all these people who changed their hobbies/lifestyle appreciate it after things normalize. More people doing meaningful activities lately.

My life is literally the same since I am a sociopath whose only interaction with the world is through p99.

I made 42 sticks 7'-9" x 20mm x 10.5mm thick. Yep.

I cut up the monkey pod and it pinched the saw blade so hard from the wood changing shape WHILE cutting it. Gotta take it back. =[

My hobbie is cutting up wood then gluing it back together.

Get a scroll saw. At least google it and see what it does. You dont have to move much. You just sit in a chair and cut out pretty pictures from wood. Very satisfying and people buy the shit. Then, you'll have a reason to talk to people and a common interest besides a 20 year old video game we dont even talk about.

If you are who I think you are and you're recommending I go near spinny blades or weird power tools, you are pretty much invalidating every thing you say or do. And if so, why stalk a sociopath.

I got a VR setup and it's pretty kool. Has kept me from getting toooo out of shape. Other hobby is ordering thousands of clothes and makeups and returning 90% of them. And stonks investing. And sex.

VR set sounds like a good idea. I need more active-ish hobbies for inside the house. Especially in rainy ass Netherlands.

I don't need glorified woodworking machines to hurt anyone or myself. Thanks.

Wingsuit + flare + blizzard is my preferred method of self harm tho. If I was really into that sort of thing.

Exercise/athletics 72 hr posting marathons are my cup of tea.

I'm an extremely accomplished runner. Or was.

Learn to play Guitar - YouTube has great instructional videos and you can pick up a nice learner guitar for about $100. Start trying to learn songs you like and that it from there.

Nice! Here's the bulk of my current quiver. Also have a classical nylon string that has been getting most of my attention during lockdown. Currently working my way through Asturias by Albeniz and Capricho Arabe by Tarrega. Agree that youtube is an amazing resource.

that's a beautiful collection, but I think you have a small demon gremlin photobombing all your pics. You may wish to consult an exorcist

cant put my finger on it either. i probably SHOULD dislike him, and maybe its irresponsible to admit liking him. theres a wackadoodle charm there tho

Got the new wood! no more monkey pod. That shit was wet. He was appalled when he put a hand on a cut piece. He told me he sold a lady a tractor trailer full of the stuff.. from the same batch. I got this stuff called indian rose wood. It smells sweet when you burn it! It looks nice. Dark, wild looking grain.

I picked up one of these acupressure mats I see advertised on facebook last week. Was like 20 bucks. Been interesting so far. The first couple days it hurt like hell but now after a few minutes the initial pain goes away and is replaced by relaxing warmth. Spent over an hour on it yesterday listening to an audiobook (started the stormlight series). Very meditative. Would recommend.

Almost bored enough to start playing p99 again... almost...

Sometimes I like to stick the hot edge of a teacup into my eye sockets or tap my forehead with it.
