I’ve been playing my guitar a fair bit. Relearning the solo dem another brick in the wall pt 2 because I never learned it right whe I was in high school and really wanna get that 5 fret bend down right. Havent learned a solo in a while, pretty easy reintro to solos.

Been getting my old anet 8 3d printer working again for a project for my girlfriend. Pretty fun iterativeprocess.

Also fucking around with retro games on an old pi I had sitting around. Contra hard corps is hella fun.

So what do you like doing? What have you been having fun with? What do you like?

    • Running might be my most fun and healthiest hobby recently.
    • Really into running public and local servers but it’s sort of arrived at the stage where I don’t need to touch them much.
    • Got into my PSVita, Gameboy, and iPod again. iPod is by far the best because it has a week of power so I can always have music. Also have been keeping a small camera on me as well. Diff vibe than phone photos and longer battery.

      I’m with you on the running - just got back into it after a ten year hiatus (injury, then laziness).

      It’s a bit disheartening to remember my last trail 50k run while I’m getting winded and sore from a casual road 5k, but I do still love it… and my distance increases have been pretty steady already, so here’s hoping.

        Similarly period of no running for me. 50k run is awesome!

        Idk what suddenly got me back into running but bringing along good music and the right mental attitude allowed me to go from 0 to 16k and 32k rapidly. Not claiming to know your mental state but it’s amazing how strong mind over matter can be. I also think prior to my current streak I was holding myself to much too high speed standards. Starting at a slow 7:30-8:30 MPK made a big difference in my distance running success rate.

        You’ll bounce back in no time! It’s very helpful to know you’ve achieved it before, and how to get there. Part of what’s hard about something like running is you don’t know what to expect if you’ve never been at that level before. Of course age will play a factor which you need to be realistic about, but that’s still a fairly marginal factor over a decade.
