In this day in age of videogames being gay and with the death of trad irl entertainment like bars and pubs, What are some /pol/ approved hobbies to keep your hands from idling?
>>538527132personally i'm opiatemaxxing. I prefer to consider it as a hobby rather than an addiction, it sounds less pathetic.
travelling the world and opening your mind to new experiences

Also i think i got a good dunkelgrau 52 with these tamiya paints. They dont rlly have any designated kriegsmarine paint but tamiya shit is cheap and has good pigments. The thinner is banned in canada so i had to use 91% alcohol and a tiny bit of glycerin to retard the paint drying. Im gonna repaint the deck dark grey/black with light coats to get some of the wood to show thru in places theyd be walking on the deck. This is my first model

>>538527132I've been reading through the Horus Heresy >>538527292You gotta stop dude. Fent WILL kill you>t. clean since 2/1/21
>>538527372tamiya is horrible for hand-painting but it works thru an airbrush
>>538527132calling OP a fag is a good hobby
>>538527309>opening your mind to new experiencesliterally everywhere in the world is the same slop thanks to globohomo (in the OG sense : global homogenization). Same norms, same standards, same economic goyzones everywhere. I could take pics from Shanghai, NYC, Paris, Dublin, SF, Milan, etc... and just grime the store fronts' characters and you wouldn't be able to tell me which is which.

>>538527470Yeah im using an airbrush i did some test painting and it pulls up the paint i every stroke even withha bunch of thinner and retarder. What acrylics do you recomend for detail work? Ive had bad experinces with enamel when i was a kid making car models when i used to use testors
>>538527132I like to fruitlessly try to fix up my 1996 jet boat
>>538527543>implying 40k was ever goodshit was nigger before nigger was nigger.
>>538527428>I've been reading through the Horus Heresywas it worth it? >fentcongrats on your sobermaxxing but dw i don't touch this kind of stuff, i'm pretty mild, never tried hero or fent, just popping oxy. It's enough for me.
This is an excellent one, trust me.
>>538527292based junkiemaxxer
>>538527645This. Its always been GI joe tier gay dolls for man kids. Real men go into trains and naval models
>>538527543No I started with Gaunt's Ghosts. I actually read the entire siege of terra (which I really liked) before I even cracked Horus Rising. So far, everything past flight of the Eisenstein sucks ass.
Cheesemaking and i guess reloading ammo/ collecting brass from shooting spotsNeed a new cheese fridge because ive killed my 7th one
>>538527731The models are used to play a tabletop strategy game, you know. Kind of like AETO, but instead of little cardboard units in hexagons you have your models on model terrainWH40K is super gay, but tabletop gaming is fun
>>538527698Looks fun as fuck, i wanna build a kit with little dude(s) ill see if i can order this on e-gay. I really wanna combine some kits to make an ss baychimo, its my favorite ghost ship and naval story. Shame revel doesnt have many old school steamer kits
>>538527132I like to post pictures of my asshole on Only Fans. I only make a few dollars a month but it’s more about the principle of it.
>>538527818redpill us on the cheesemaking bro
>>538527713I hate needles but opiates are nice. Also, is that an album or something?
>>538527743>everything past flight of the Eisenstein sucks ass.yup you nailed it right there
>>538527686Just read the first 4 books then skip to the siege of terra starting with Solar War and you're good. Maybe throw in Master of Mankind in the middle.>oxyLiterally how I got started. Be careful.
I always wanted to do this oneHaving said that I think Digital Combat Simulator 2 is awesome and it's well worth your while...
>>538527859Looks like he built a custom made stand for it from scratch...looks good. But this is what you actually get and with your skillz I'm sure you'll get a satisfying result.
>>538527132I do wargaming and painting. Very nice submarine, good job on your first model! You should definitely give her some sort of shading. The big TT companies usually have good stuff, or you can always make your own by using thinned oil paints.I also like reading history books. Currently reading "Illustrierte Weltgeschichte".And currently I'm trying to teach myself how to play Go.
>>538527372Check out Ammo by Mig Jimenez. You can buy kits for them and the pigments are richer. Also, get an airbrush and a compressor with a tank. Mostly i 3d printed models and finish them with airbrush an weathering ( little tamiya powder kits). You can also get into printing guns which is fun as well. Those I finish with cerakote ( air dry). I also have a little darkroom i fuck around in. Sometimes I sell hand made photos of random shit. There's plenty to do if you have the means to get started.
>>538527743Gaunts Ghosts First and Only, and Eisenhorn Omnibus (the first 3) are so far the best 40k books I have read. Good literature in general, decent themes and connecting the dots. Some symbolism. Held back by needing to know the setting a bit. Dan Abnet is one of their better writers but is not always good at independently describing something. They just reference equipment or vehicles and you’re supposed to know what that is already.I have not read Siege of Terra.
>>538527890Well first step is to get real sweaty.
>>538527890Fairly easy barrier to entry i use the recipes/equipment from cheemaking.comI will give a more in depth response once im done loading shipping containers irlBut my first wheel of waxed romano cost only $60 and 6.months it was ez
>>538528175How much did your darkroom cost? Ido film photography, and the cost of development is becoming prohibitively expensive. C-41 process
you should get into this kind of thing.I always thought it would be pretty fun.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPhqh1ldkuM
>>538527818Where do you source your rennet?

what a gay little boat, a hobby for castrated men
>>538527292based and pilled
>>538527132woodwork, leatherwork, guitar/musical instrument, gardening/hydroponics, engine maintenance, electronics, hunting, cooking, drawing/painting/sculptingWhat kind of guitar do you play, OP?
>>538527132Drawing
depends how much money you have. Lot's of fun to be had outside if you have gas money and cash for toys.
Angling.
>want to continue scale models >afraid of fucking up due to lack of skill>end up with huge backlog and 4 project shelved How does one overcome this
>>538528238You're in for a treat. Dan Abnett came into his own and they cranked the symbolism up to 11. It's basically Lucifer's war against God extrapolated onto the 30k universe. Best "earth apocalypse" literature I've read in any setting.
>>538528390>leatherwork>engine maintenance you're just posting buzzwords. id wager you don't do even half of these things sar
>>538527923funnily enough i too went through most of Horus Heresy, but in audiobooks to fall asleep to (from a channel using a good AI voice), so i remember like 0.2% of it all kek. I might try the first books as you recommanded and see if i get hooked.>Literally how I got started. Be careful.Well i've been on oxy for the past 15 years and never went beyond. I guess my luck is i have unlimited oxy prescriptions (100% covered too) thanks to a life-long handicap, so i didn't have to go through the usual channel of expired opiate prescriptions > street drugs to fill the gap.

>>538528418Some outdoor stuff is cheap, especially used stuff.
>>538528331I got most of it in one go including old enlarged, chemicals, developing tanks from someone getting out of the hobby. Look online for people selling thier old set ups. Think I paid 150 for all ( 15 years ago) BHPhoto is where I get chems and film. Cinestill makes c41 kits for like 50 bucks. I just do b&w, much easier.
>>538527577>what acrylics?vallejo model color is my go to for painting D&D mini's. Citadel paints are okay but are needlessly expensive...
>>538527132i like looking in peoples windows at night
>>538528339I have dried vegetable rennet from amazog and a specialty food store downtown carries liquid animal rennetAlso i occasionally use milk thistle as an alternative to both because it adds a neat flavor Bacterial culture i get online cause its all danisco brand worldwide kekBtw if you use raw milk you only need 1/4th of bacterial culture and rennet
>>538527132Anyone coming to the Huntsville show?
>>538528644Mountain biking..Rich kids sport you know. Smash up a $8k bike every summer...all summer long helicopters flying over my apartment to Shaughnessey Hospital spinal unit for mountain bikers that fuck up. It's brutal and unnatural. Skiing you fall down on snow. It's nice. Mountain biking you fall down going 40km an hour and hit boulders. Better have $$$$ for bikes and a good health plan. They're all insane stoners, torching fatties before doing Big Stupid.
>>538527132String instruments and 40k.
>>538528777Damn, that’s like the cost of having 7 rolls developed l. Thanks for the heads up
>>538527713If only there was good heroin to buy. It all fent now.
>>538528540I have a small leather-working kit and I take care of my car and lawnmower. The two I don't really do are hunting and electronics. But all of that is beside the point OP asked for based hobbies in general and you are crusading against no one.
>>538528867That looks gooood
>>538527132I play some warhammer 40k. Building a Tensor Core. And various other programming nonsensical bullshits. Very good job on that Uboat anon
>>538527743>>538527917>>538528238Gortex and Felix Omnibuses is where I started. Think I got the Soul Drinker Omnibus laying around somewhere
>>538529031I only partake once every few months, but poppies are easy to grow. You can find whole heads and unwashed seeds online every once in a while, but they get shut down fast. Poppy tea is VERY nice, but then again my tolerance is nil. I don’t think a garden could sustain a real habit, and dosing is tricky
>>538527577like the other guy said, vallejo is elite. ak is really good for their plain black and white and their various effect productsif you have a local game/hobby store just about any brand with little plastic squeeze bottles should be good and have colors that are better/worse coverage than similar colors from other brands
I pretend to run for President every four years.

>>538527132Here's one of his kits. Top notch paint.
>>538528846Any idea on whether rennet made from stinging nettle is any good?
>>538529437Edgemaster is here!
>>538529067sure thing, suhkdeep
>>538529667Yeah it works the same as thistle substitute just remember to double the coagulation time a recipes gives you so lets say its the standard 1hr for animal rennet make sure to 2x it and check the consistency of the curd before cutting itThey work better with mesophillic cultures because the acidity can get puf of control if you are making a thermophillic cheese
I like doing backyard projects. Each time I learn some cool shit. I did a brick patio last year super legit. I'm talking digging everything up, leveling, framing, gravel and sand, compacted everything, using line to lay things out perfect, etc. I'm doing the same but with a curved pathway this year. I've also ran power to my beeg shed (having a ceiling fan there is nice). Slowly learning some gardening, etc. It still feels like there is endless things I can do when it comes to landscaping, etc.
>>538530063Thanks bro. It looks like I'll be making my own rennet then.

>>538527132I started woodworking as a hobby a couple years ago. A complete happenstance, I had some leftovers in yard and needed something... so I built it myself. I was hooked, it was like a drug. 3 years later, I got a whole range of electric tools worth thousands of dollerinos - a band saw, stationary circular saw, jigsaw, chainsaw, a couple drills, angle grinder, vibrating sander, grater, etc. Anyway, I started doing small and easy shit like shelves and flower pot holders. Gradually I went up in complexity and started doing furniture we are actually using around the house and yard. I've done a coffee table, dinner table, yard table, drawers, doors, all manner of chests, animal enclosures, etc. Working on chairs atm, but it's pretty hard. The satisfaction of building something out of raw materials is indescribable.I could have showered some woman with all that time, attention, money, the works, but none of them gave me the time of day. I gave up on women and having a family. It is what it is.
>>538531050Do you sell any of it or is it just for home/family?
>>538531050How much was your lathe
>>538527743There's a couple that are alright, the books about the Shadow Crusade and Imperium Secundus are decent. But other than that most of the books were between a 4/10 and a 6/10.>t. Listened to the entire series on audiobooks
>>538531224For the family and personal use. I don't think my stuff is good enough for the market and I would never sell them anyway.

>>538527132>the death of trad irl entertainment like bars and pubsThey aren't dead. They're all packed every time there is a World Cup game. They're packed on weekends and whenever a band is playing or karoke night or trivia night or whatever else. If you think bars and pubs are dead, it's because you are a retard who only goes at the wrong times.

>>538535417Thanks man! I used to work at a bodyshop masking cars when i was a teenager and one of the guys always said "paint is in the prep". I figured the dame philosphy would translate to scale models. Its a 2006 edition of revels type VIIC/41 uboat at 1/144. Its a well detailed kit but the scale is definetly a challenge, so glad i bought tweezers.... ive even been dillegently scraping off any molding seams on railings and stuff. The guns were a nightmare

>>538527132Reading and writing. I've long thought of giving an emigre from the former USSR I knew from a while back a cool thou or so to have him spend the week with me and let me interview him for a book-length firsthand account about growing up through perestroika. He's an irresponsible drunk, though, so I seriously wonder if it's already dead in the water as a concept. I've brought up the idea to him when we were neighbors, and he always dragged his feet coming around to it. I know the project isn't likely to make me money, but it does seem like it would yield good material.Other than that, I've been working on some essays and a collection of short stories.>>538536370The problem is that's Cyber-Lip, not Metal Slug.I'll take the hot bitch with the high-waisted lingerie, thanks.

I have interest in nothing and no one. 27yo virgin male working from home a well paying job. 9-5. At 18 it was over and I doomscrolled then at 19 I went to jogging till 20 then shower then dinner then doomscroll till now, 2am. It's like this every day, every week, every month every year. Except in winter I don't go jogging so I always stay at home (I go only to the grocery 2times per week). I have abandoned my friends in 2021. Never had a gf, never will, never will search her. I live in my mom's basement but at least I pay the grocery, so i don't feel totally guilty. I just exist in my home. Hobbies? Yeah counting the day till I end my self is my only hobby.

>>538527132Exercising and playing with your children. However I understand that you are likely a childless skinny-fat bitch so both of those things are out of your reach. Have fun with your heckin submarine-arinos.
i got a qodosen dx-286 handheld radio. it's a portable with a car tier receiver so you can listen to shortwave and it doesn't completely sound like shit if you put the antenna in a good spot.shortwave is prob shit to what it was decades ago but it's nice to tune into other continents from europe and asia. chinese fund a lot of channels, north korea has some, new zealand, and there's even some pirate channels that go up once in a while.we also happen to be lucky having a couple fm stations that are funded by viewers so don't play a ton of ads throughout the day.ive found it nice to relax compared to having to handselect music all the time.

>>538538956I lived in a duplex that loves RC. He got me a job at the marina and was a master engineer with all sorts of certifications and ridiculously specialized tools to repair boats. His basement was full of shelves with various parts. He would never shut the fuck up about it. He thought I was retarded because I risked my life to stop a boat from sliding down an icy hill. He is correct.

>>538527859Based Baychimo poster. I love that it seems like a dark story until you realize the ship kept its crew alive, then sheltered inuit from the storm, then just fucked off and wandered the sea for 30 years. Baychimo was bro tier. Maybe it's still out there.
