Everything that takes the mind off of all the stress of contemporary life.
Riding my escooter through the local parks.
Off-what? You mean in meatspace?
Jokes aside: Reading. Designing and playing Pen&Paper RPGs. Cooking.
Would you mind talking a bit more about your approach to cooking? I take some satisfaction from being able to cook and sometimes from the feeling of improving my skill as a cook, but mostly it feels like a necessary chore.
Sex
This guy fucks
Good one, fellow adult. I too have had the sex. Many. 150%
Pottery or papier-mâché. Or any other sort of creative type stuff. Also, digging holes. Wizardry and such. There’s so much to do, really.
Outdoor back-to-basics stuff has only proven more beneficial the more I have integrated it into my life.
Carpentry, landscaping, gardening, and taking care of my many animals all help me get fresh air and exercise in addition to whatever else I get out of the activities.
I am living the superposition of that meme where the resume or linkedin profile goes from Senior Systems Architect to Goose Farmer. My day job is software for embedded systems. At home, in addition to the indoor projects I am slowly transforming my little fenced-in back yard into a combination of oasis, hobby farm, and town from an old RPG or zelda game.
Playing on a PSP, those portable systems are still awesome.
I play guitar, read, and do a bit of yardwork.
Learning how to fix the old pile of boards I live in, now that I’m retired. The biggest thing I learned so far is how much you can get done with vey little when you don’t have to pay for someone else’s time/labour.
Squash! It’s the most fun way to exercise.
sepak takraw says hello
i had to search sepak takraw, but it looks awesome! my foot skills are weak, unfortunately
it’s really fun. my rec soccer/football team started playing 4:4 sepak takraw at practices (three teams with one getting to rest each match). that was the year we absolutely flattened the rest of the league.
Trail riding at about 20mph. It’s balls to the wall adrenalin. I also do road racing with a few cars, but that kinda thing gets expensive. My dialysis center hates me because I always have a new cut on my arm or several bruises. Not gonna stop my life just because my kidneys are pieces of garbage at 43.
Not sure if this counts as “offline” but I play video games, read books, edibles, and because I’m in my late 30’s I’ve recently picked up bird watching!
I befriend the outside cats
I love this! There’s a family in my neighborhood that has three cats, indoor/outdoor. My wife and I check to see if they’re about basically every time we walk in the neighborhood. The cats will saunter up to us for pets most of the time :D
Being in nature, reading a book or graphic novel, or visiting museums
Reading sci-fi
consuming cannabis
