What are your other interests besides games, manga/anime/comics?

[Bonkers225]

I love MMA, in particular ONE FC, and UFC. Also enjoy Bareknuckle, RIZIN, and Boxing. Slap fighting is a guilty pleasure. American Football(NFL) is something I follow, but not as much as I used to, as it became the Kansas City Bowl pretty much. Love the classic Hollywood movies in monochrome. Enjoy reading, and talking about politics as well, but that's probably a taboo issue on here, idk, because most people cannot contain themselves when it comes to that. And lastly, gotta love Pro wrestling as well. Whether it be the classic WWF, WCW, ECW, current WWE, AEW, TNA, Japan, Mexico, etc. Been a fan since I was 5. What say you guys?

 

[LUNARMYTH]

I'm into gardening/farming, bushcrafting, exploration, and things of that nature. Really love knowing exactly where my food comes from. Fishing is also another big hobby of mine.
I also like parkour, really easy to get out of shape in the winter though, not many indoor gyms in my area.

 

[tenkai star]

A wide range of interests makes life more interesting. I try not to scoff at anything. I love sports (depressed New York Giants fan), UFC, working on cars, game dev (very casually), weight lifting, movies etc etc.

I’ve tried some artistic pursuits but it would take a ton of time because I’m very untalented

 

[kamille]

i like cooking. i someday hope to work with food so i can do what i love!

 

[Strategist]

Boxing and pro wrestling are popular where I'm from, although I haven't watched either in a long time. I've recently gotten into the NFL as well. I follow the Seattle teams in American sports. I watch movies, TV shows, anime, Netflix, the usual. I also spend a lot of my free time trying to learn art. Pencil, charcoal and watercolor are my preferred mediums.

 

[MrFabulous]

I also really like old movies and getting mad about things online.

More relevant though I tend to feel self conscious about the things that I enjoy so I try to balance out the video games/manga/anime with 'highbrow' culture stuff like really academic novels or collecting obscure albums. My other guilty pleasure used to be trashy TV and internet drama, but I've tried to cultivate interests in more sophisticated stuff like perfume, cheesemaking or gardening but nobody has been fooled by it, they can immediately tell I'm a pseud.

 

[RustySK]

I love cooking with a passion, especially for/with friends.
I'm also really into movies, though the films of the last 10 years or so have kind of driven me away from that hobby a bit and these days I mostly watch older fare.
Aside from that I like to go hiking and doing sports in general, but swimming and climbing are my favourites and while I'm no longer any good at it, I like to paint and/or sketch.

 

[DunkeyKong]

I love football, I used to be so bad at it that I can't even kick it properly. Fortunately with practice, now it's actually pretty to kick the ball…but that's just the easy part

The hard part is the control part. The ball can be so unpredictable sometimes because when I try to I curl it slowly, the ball bend too far. But when I curl it a bit too hard, it skyrocketed into the sky

Thankfully, all I need to learn is the techniques. It's not easy of course, but it is worth practicing (it's a fun exercise for me!)

 

[Bakuma1997]

I loved Origami, but i haven't found interest in it recently, fortunately i now have drawing as a non-screen hobby, oh, and reding old magazines, like time capsules to old ages

 

[bjork]

I like going to liquor stores and trying to find limited-time soda flavors to try. When I lived by a big asian market in seattle, they would get limited-time coke and pepsi flavors we wouldn't get here, so that was always a treat.

 

[Karnik]

Many things at first sight contradictory and irreconcilable with the interest in anime and video games. Riding a bicycle along paths surrounded by greenery (with my sweet dog following me), looking for mushrooms in the woods when it's their season, practicing wing chun (kung fu school that shaped Bruce Lee) in the gym (with a sparring partner ) once a week, meditate (shikantaza, zazen) before sleeping and when possible, play the diatonic harmonica (blues harp) reading existing tablatures online, court women in the most varied situations and possibly trying to conquer at least one (which, it may seem strange, I have sometimes succeeded in ).

 

[TheGamesArchivist]

I bake and cook, actually. Like, when I'm not trying to finish writing reviews for my archive, I like to experiment with my baking, trying to make the perfect Black Forest Brownie.

Also like to rewatch old episodes of WCW Monday Nitro...I used to have a passion for voice work, but alas, a lot of my creative drive kinda fizzled out after 19 years in retail (3rd/Graveyard shift)

Black Forest Brownie? I've seen that before! It looks so good…may I have some pwease?

Also voice work? Like voice actor?

I wanted to be a VA when I was younger, like, I really loved learning about Mel Blanc, Jim Cummings, Frank Welker, Richard Steven Horvitz, etc. and had a fondness for mimicry and mockery. Problem is, I lacked the equipment, the patience, and most importantly, the time. Now I mostly just use it to add a little oomph to my storytelling/comedy when and if I can be encouraged to actually perform in any capacity

 

[VampireLord1024]

Watching movies.

 

[ATenderLad]

Cooking and baking can be a great time, as well as reading "book" books. (Wasn't sure if that was covered by the prompt.) Movies, old and new, have always been a passion, and I've put together a good size collection the last few years in particular. That's lead to figuring out a bit more about computers, basic networking, using Docker, and other things that have been occasionally useful.

Oh, long walks taking in nature, I used to live near a gorgeous stretch of mountains, and another place with a beautiful desert. Current neighborhood is about as drab as it gets, though. One day.

I used to watch pro wrestling, but it's been an awfully long time. I also like (American) football, though my whole life I've never picked a favorite team, so I never knew who to root for. I don't watch basketball, weirdly, even though I used to love playing it.

 

[Inkingsama]

I'm somewhat of a boring guy so i don't have many interests apart from games and manga. I read books from time to time and play yugioh IRL frequently. Damn... i have 0 hobbies apart from gaming....

 

[MononokeDS]

I love horror in all forms, starting to get back into Pro-Wrestling as I just got some awesome Japanese handhelds from a friend, Metal, Punk and Asian cinema. Also trashy movies from all around the globe, be it horror or Wong Jing ripping off Street Fighter and adding Goku in the movie Future Cops or shlock like Zombi 5, and Burial Ground.

 

[Bobmeboi]

I love to animate In my free time and I you want to see just click the YouTube icon under my profile picture

 

[Clippy]

I collect die-cast cars. Mostly 1:64 scale because I don't have much space but I have a few larger models as well. Must be a sign of age regression seeing as I don't have any interest in real cars whatsoever. I used to love cars (via racing games) as a kid but at some point I realized I'd never be able to drive a sports car and my interest fizzled out. I don't even have a driver's license.

Irl card games are a hobby! That’s something

Oh damn I didn't even think of poker, blackjack, and Magic the Gathering. I don't have the money for the latter anymore though.

 

[PKT]

I like following sports. Mostly baseball and gridiron football but I do follow other sports, just less closely. I also love math, and still self study after college. Algebra is my favorite topic but I also like most other topics.

 

[Victor792019]

I guess studying, learning japanese at the moment and boy it sure is quite the affair, had forgotten how complex a language can be. But school topics like physics and math are very interesting too, learning how the universe works and all that stuff. Also I started calisthenics recently, moreso as a way of taking better care of my health than anything.
