What do y'all do for hobbies?

Obviously, there will be slight powerlevelling in this thread, so no need to dole out those ratings, unless someone gets too personal (although I don't see why they would need to)

I write, as a hobby.

I also build Gundam models.

This is my next upcoming project

I like to grow spicy peps. Habs, ghost peps, reapers, you name it. I just moved tho so didnt get a chance to do anything fun this year. I did grow 2 Spiceless Habaneros just because it was trending on reddit; They were disgusting and not worth the 50c I spent on the seeds.

There's a best-selling novel premise in there somewhere. I don't know where the story would go, but a person that grows spicy peppers as a hobby is a fucking interesting person that I would want to read about

Haha if you live in a warm region they're very easy to grow! At least mine all have been rather hands off (or I am very lucky???). I am a weirdo and put hot sauce on literally everything I eat. I have 50 5+ gallon jugs ready for next year, and have a bunch of hybrid seeds ready, and a new canning kit and the whole 9 yards. I just really like blowing my asshole out with spice. Anything mango/sweet combo with spice is my jam.

Depends on the suit. Typically go with HGs as well, unless the MG is far superior to it (like The Sazabi or the Providence Gundam) or if it's a favorite mobile suit of mine, I'll spring for a Master Grade.

I'm curious what the Niggos custom would look like. This springs to mind:

Browsing Kiwi Farms is essentially my hobby.

I do historical reenactment and HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), so essentially a lot of combat arts/training. Both hobbies have research and interpretation of history at heart, and there certainly is a lot of crossover between the two.

As far as reenactment goes the periods/eras I'm currently involved in is mainly Dark Ages (Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Franks, Slavs, Gaels, Normans etc) and a bit high medieval (so around the 11th to 13th centuries). In contrast to other periods the combat in Dark Ages reenactment is mainly competitive in nature and as such most of the battles seen at shows/events is entirely unscripted - bar the shows that are centered around specific battles of course. There's battles with armies, and also wargames and duelling. It's pretty fun.


I also had the opportunity to visit Denmark and take part in Moesgård Vikingtræf, the biggest event in Western Europe (bar the Battle of Hastings 950th Anniversary). Five days of training, with three large-scale battles at the weekend. There's hundreds of people here, so good luck with trying to find me - I'm not giving any clues to avoid power-levelling.

Torrential downpour on the Sunday, where I got absolutely soaked and covered in mud.

I took part in one of the UK's biggest (and longest running) events last year, Jorvik Viking Festival - 2016 was the 1000 year anniversary of Cnut's invasion of England and the battle of Ashingdon. I got to play a Welshman/Cambrian under the command of the Anglo-Saxon King, Edmund Ironsides (all the Saxon groups had their colours as red+blue).

Interview with my line commander/king at 7.20.

Here is how it is done in Eastern Europe at the continent's biggest show, Wolin (in Poland). I'd like to go to Wolin in the future, so I guess it's something for me to work towards.

Note that the fighting here is far more aggressive - eastern European shows allow headshots and techniques that are seen a unsafe in Western European shows.

Us reenactors tend to make of our own kit, ranging from shields right down to our costumes (as well as buy it from traders within the community), and the vast majority of it is made with authentic materials and crafts. There are a few things we have change slightly for safety and convenience of course.

As for HEMA I mainly practice with spears (seeing as they're my primary weapon on the field), sword and shield/buckler and a bit of Polish Sabre. I'm looking to branch out into longsword in the near future.

I do enjoy the occasional game of DnD/tabletop role-playing (it's amazing to do when you're drunk or high), and go to a weekly poetry club. Other than that it's stuff like reading, drinking and watching films on Netflix.

Golf. My username actually has nothing to do with gay katanas or anything, it's actually golf related.

Also, collecting vintage video games, although I'm on a necessary sabbatical from that for the time being.

I grew a few moruga scorpions and a peter pepper and a couple habaneros. Of all the hot peppers I've had, the moruga scorpion was my favorite. I'd like to try a Carolina reaper but haven't be able to, how hot are they really?

 

[MerriedxReldnahc]

I do lots of art stuff, drawing and painting. I've been painting figures for tabletop rpgs lately.

Spoiler: Cool shit bruh

Hero Quest zombies!

Doom Guards from the WoW board game!

I also collect things, right now I'm really into animal bones.

Spoiler: Skull collection

I actually have a few more skulls than this, I just found a ground squirrel skull the other day that I'm cleaning up.

Also I play the trumpet badly and am learning to play the guitar.

 

[polonium]

Alcohol and weed mostly

 

[Ntwadumela]

Oh boy, this one's a doozy.
Traveling, drawing, reading, sports (martial arts, swimming, weightlifting, shooting, archery, some football + basketball), video games, poetry, cinema, hiking, adventuring, nature, rollercoaster touring.
Oh, and posting here from time to time.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

I just...Do things...

 

[Florence]

I'm a mudlark, so I'm often down on the foreshore if it's low tide. Apart from that, I metal detect, take photos, build model kits (which almost invariably end up with their pieces scattered across the house), and collect various different things.
