I’m lazy so I play video games and drink. Though I’ve reduced the booze intake and tried reading at least 1 book every 8 weeks. I’m also trying to be more consistent at the gym 2-3x per week instead of 2-3 times per month which inadvertently became the norm the past few years.
We both like board games, puzzles, and a good binge of a show we both like. Also sex.
I generally stick to fantasy and historical fiction. Just read Fire and Blood which I loved and I’m almost done with Prisoners of the Castle which is pretty decent, an odd chapter in WWII history akin to the Battle of Schrute Farms in the Civil War.
I work in data centres, so fuck all windows or outside time during the week. Even on days I get to work from home, I’m chained to the computer.
Evenings are gaming or watching TV with my wife. Weekends are projects on my house, yard or car, if the weather lets me. Otherwise, I’m tinkering with tools, electronics, and/or home automation.
Longer bouts of time off are spent 4WDing and camping or caravanning. I go away 4WDing with mates at least annually, but we also have an off-road caravan, so I like to take my wife and daughter to new places.
About to head off for four nights off-roading in one of my favourite parts of the state I Iive in: the Victorian High Country. Later this year, we’re taking a three week trip to Uluru and back. Proper Aussie Outback trip.
Yeah, we’re pretty lucky here in Australia. I think many countries are lucky like this - people just need to be willing to explore what they already have.
I’m a software engineer, so I spend the majority of my day inside. I tend to do more outdoorsy type stuff when off work or on weekends like 4-wheeling, snowmobiling, hunting/fishing, photography, exploring, etc. When I am indoors, I tend to play video games, sometimes learn new programming tech, and more recently reading.
Tons of odd little things too, but that’s a good majority of what I tend to do.
Lifting weights, scuba diving, martial arts, 3d printing, mini painting, fingerdrums, building and flying drones, planning for various trips, make presentations and present them at conferences, play videogames and TTRPG (or DM them), go on random adventures and make things.
Prep for tabletop RPGs - Sometimes thats making maps, other times designing vignettes and encounters, and when I’m feeling a need to recharge the ol’ fiction engine, experiencing thematically similar media to just wholesale steal ideas from.
So for me it’s similar to this except I really enjoy making missions for a DCS World group (combat flight sim) I play with. Not only that but I make PowerPoints and briefings. So fun to nerd out on when I have time to make it.
I’m rebooting a massive space video game that was abandoned a few years ago. It’s way too much game for me but whatever, I’ll level up and then it won’t be any more.
Yeah, in it’s current iteration, it just exudes potential. I couldn’t just let it die so I started digging for information and ended up speaking with the developer whom noone had heard from in 5 years. Original source code is lost, unfortunately. So I’m starting from scratch.
