Iβm a software engineer, so I spend the majority of my day inside. I tend to do more outdoorsy type stuff when off work or on weekends like 4-wheeling, snowmobiling, hunting/fishing, photography, exploring, etc. When I am indoors, I tend to play video games, sometimes learn new programming tech, and more recently reading.
Tons of odd little things too, but thatβs a good majority of what I tend to do.
Fly fish our local rivers year round. When the rivers are blown out by rain or locked up with ice I tie flies. Before taking up fishing I backpacked quite a bit plus the occasional paddle trip.
Research a bunch of topics and testing new tech/software π΅οΈββοΈπ¨βπ§
I like to think about what to do when I finally move to Belgium.
Teaching programming for kids, 3D printing, photography, playing the saxophone, gaming (pretty much exclusively coop), playing board games.
If I could afford a 3D printer I would definitely use it a bunch for personal projects
Getting a used mid-range printer is quite affordable. Or try looking for your local maker space, so you don't have to buy your own. It's never been easier to get into 3D printing than today.
Also, it's quite easy to sell custom 3D prints. Thus it's not that hard to cover the cost of materials (or even the printer itself).
Prep for tabletop RPGs - Sometimes thats making maps, other times designing vignettes and encounters, and when I'm feeling a need to recharge the ol' fiction engine, experiencing thematically similar media to just wholesale steal ideas from.
So for me it's similar to this except I really enjoy making missions for a DCS World group (combat flight sim) I play with. Not only that but I make PowerPoints and briefings. So fun to nerd out on when I have time to make it.
Free time?
Gaming, programming, gamedev, boardgames, drinking beer, producing music, running, watching F1, and more. Problem is that I often lack the time and energy for the more productive hobbies. At least I got myself to run a fairly consistent 2 days a week. I don't really understand how people can be bored, there's so much to do.
I'm basic. I listen to music, watch videos, and play video games. One of the only non-basic things I do is go on Fridays to a Japanese club at my college since I don't have classes Friday.
Build stuff. Either physical things like legos, puzzles, etc, or software.
just picked up embroidery and knitting, been lots of fun making things for myself and i know what my friends are getting for next christmas lol
