Just looking for ideas. I'm pretty tired of gaming and am looking for new shit to do.

Less than I used to have.

Internet, Pinball (Which is basically a different form of gaming), people watching, movies, non-fiction, documentaries.

Programming, making PoC games, trying to hardware hack games.

Oh, wait, that's all gaming.

I have a small group of friends that I play Magic: The Gathering, HeroClix, and Dungeons & Dragons for our "non-video" game fix.

Outside of that, I read and collect comics, rent and go the movies often, go to a lot of concerts, and just hang out and do stupid shit with friends.

My main hobby right now is Candy Cabs/Cave Shooters

Other than that... trucks and tools...

Why not try RC cars or something like that?

Improv.

Just another thing to try if you wanna suck at something for a couple years. Good way to meet people, at least.

Also make videos about my schlong.

Cooking, UFO catcher machines, writing, photography, vinyl records, Palestine, writing webpages, pinball (but physical machines are kinda rare to find in the wild now).

BMX Outriding/Racing, Tactical Combat Shooting, Cowboy Action Shooting, having sex (well... retraining the wife back to her old self ---this is proving to be a chore thanks to fucking Jake being a damned cock block, but at least "the freak" is starting to reemerge. Cause I'm done being "understanding" like I have been. I need SEX every night in some form to keep world peace.)... uhh... jerking off ... penetrating THIS (and it does "feel" damn good too. Much better than those crappy $120.00USD molds of Belladonna... best $330 I ever spent. Much better than having spent that for an Xbox 360) while I continue my way towards a Real Doll (almost got the full amount) for the times the wife just is too tired, or whatever. It's not like an RD could ever replace her anyhow. It'll get used for it's rightful purpose when "the best" just isn't possible. But I gotta' fuck. As of late I've been losing my mind on the nights there's no action at all. Don't always feel like pulling out the mold either. And I'm just not jerking off anymore, fuck that. PENETRATION. :tickled:

AND... uhh...

Oh yeah... Knife Throwing (SRSLY)

and...

leather stamping for belts and stuff.

All that comes to mind.

I must be lucky to live in MN as I'm an hour's drive away from just about any game I want to play.

(You have to know where to look, though)

Oh well, the Williams collection is a good alternative.

Being as I have no idea what that means (Larper?) I'm guessing no.

Live Action Role Play. Everyone knows what that means.....

Maybe a rennie? (Renaissance fair participant)

Joke fail. I'm quietly gonna step out this door over here while that bomb of a joke steams....

Actually I'd never heard the term before (and if I did, I honestly don't remember it). I do help out my friend of 15 years with his military re-enactment stuff from time to time at Air Shows and stuff like that. So I guess that's LARPING. I dunno what my enjoying a high end "affordable" sex mold of an exquisite vag & tight asshole has to do with LARPING though? :tickled:

Personally I hate having to use one (the mold) but using the hand is so 1980s. Not happening. When I have the RD which will be as close to a certain pron starlet fave of mine in the looks department as possible, in which to jack hammer, and all manner of things when I HAVE TO HAVE IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE... maybe then we could say LARPING. As it'll be me boning the silicone clone of a real person.

:D

Thus I guess outside of the other things mentioned. SEX itself is a hobby. And really, I can't see how more dudes wouldn't rather have sex, or be doing sexual things with a chick, an RD, etcetera... rather than playing games or anything else really. I personally could walk around all day in only boxer briefs just recuperating until "The next bout" for Love Games. Kind of hard to do with two kids around though. Which I guess is what had induced my recent mental breakdown, and finding my way back to Lords of Acid, and other stuff from my past.

Heck right there. Nostalgic Manifestation Vision Quests (NMVQ) can be a hobby too.

My interest in video games have destroyed my interest in music and any other hobby I've had. It's awful.

A hobby is meant to be for enjoyment, if you try and force it you'll burn out. I burned out on console stuff around the DC's demise. I very seldom play console games these days let alone finish one.

As long as games aren't affecting affecting personal stuff there is nothing to ashamed of. Enjoy them while you can, you may find your tastes change in a few years and music or something else will become prevalent.

There is no shame. Amazingly, no signs of burn out yet. My personal life isn't too shabby either. I just can't delve into other hobbies anymore like I can with games. Some of the things I once loved just seem lack-luster compared to video games.

And I'm certainly not a fickle person.
