What other hobbies do you enjoy besides WoW?

Nothing, all I do is play wow 12 hours+ a day

I meant moreso I’m pretty bad at anatomy and working out angles, nothing much more than “standing around” poses. I also have no idea how to shade/highlight anything properly, so things usually… don’t get colored at all. But I know I need practice and I can achieve greatness if I try.

Fully understandable - though don’t cut yourself short. The Senior artist for Disney’s Princess and the Frog designed all the characters on cut up cereal boxes with crayon and color pencil.

Body weight lifts are also great. Pull ups, single leg squats, planks, push ups are all very good.

Adding some basic dumbbells or bands does round this out extremely well, though. Heck, I used to wear a backpack filled with some dumbbells and do the above exercises for additional resistance.

Also, about 30 minutes a lift session is adequate. Mike Mentzer did some crazy 15 minute sessions that were essentially taking one “set” and doing lots of drop reps - even half reps - to complete failure. These used machines though, as that would be much safer than doing, say, a big compound lift like a back squat to failure. GG lower back.

Watch anime, cosplay projects, and art.

Been getting into cooking. I been buying a lot of video game based cook books. I recently bough the Overwartch cook book and I really love the fried pork recipe on McCree page.

I like to play Red Dead Online, riding my Asian Female Cowgirl around while she does her Trader/Bounty Hunter/Collector/Moonshiner stuff. I play it on the Xbox One, with it being loads of fun.

It is 99.9 percent PVE, with your greatest foe actually being “you’ve been disconnected due to a fault in the Rockstar Game Servers.”

Otherwise, I dink around in OpenSuse Linux (which is the only computer OS I have, since Burning Crusade, so the only way I play wow or FFXIV :wink: )

I also stream media, from this Linux computer to the Xbox One in the living room.

Amazing! I love that show! Now you just need the Baby Yoda doll thing, when they are not all sold out again, and some mock up bassinet thing attached to your waist.

I’ve been reading X-Men on Marvel Unlimited since 2018. I’m spending almost all of my free time on it.
I’m rarely playing wow now.
It might change next expansion though.

I honestly don’t have any hobbies outside of games so I’ve been trying to change that recently.

I’m trying to teach myself how to draw. Problem is, without divulging too many details, my brain has something wrong with it that makes things like writing and drawing a lot more difficult. My handwriting still looks like I’m in 1st grade lol. So it makes drawing and learning how to draw a lot more difficult and frustrating, but it also makes those drawings I finish so much more meaningful and dear to me, even if they don’t look the best.

I’ve also been trying to teach myself chess. Learning to think a few steps ahead is a hard thing to grasp but it’s something I enjoy doing with my girlfriend.

I do yoga. It’s an amazing way to start and finish the day. I also draw… to more or less of a success, but I’m trying hard to learn and improve. What I would really like to do is finding an animal shelter to volunteer. My pets are all rescues so that’s definitely something I’m considering, and perhaps I can get a friend to go with me too.

Absolutely nothing. Just WoW 24 hours a day.

Most of last year I played DnD. Lately I got into Pokemon Moon again. Also got interested in Cats the Musical once the first trailer for the terrible movie happened. I got curious and watched some of the actual musical and loved it.

Lotta the time I just hang out on Tumblr for stuff like bands I like or Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure things

Guitar, fitness, warcraft 3 and writing!

I play in a regularly gigging band in Central FL, Blackbird Sanctuary. Can look us up on YT. Lots of vids there.

I keep a big saltwater fish tank with live rocks, coral, snails, and 6 different types of fish.

  • Play with a 30+ year old Radio Shack Color Computer 3.
  • Work on optimizing a maze generation program I wrote that builds Rogue style dungeons with rooms of different shapes including triangles, diamonds, doughnuts, circles, rectangles, and standard squares. Caves and regular crossword like mazes can be generated by it as well.
  • Oogle old hardware on Ebay and keep myself from buying any more old computers. My version of going to the computer store back in the 1980’s but 2020 style.
  • Take care of my aging mother.

Not much else to do since I spend most of my time doing the last thing on the list. When she’s gone I’m going to have to figure out what I want to do in life besides work on databases and provide noob level nursing home style care.

I enjoy watching anime, reading comics/manga/graphic novels, playing console and other computer games (MMOs, JRPGs, simulation, fighting, hack n’ slash) , working with electronics/semiconductors, custom-building PCs for people, writing stories for my characters, doing jigsaw puzzles, playing woodwind instruments, and I’ve recently been learning how to model 3D characters.
