I play and record music, but it's really my own hobby that I do on my own. It feels lonely.
My brother and his friends all play a lot of videogames so I often spend time joining them.
I had two friends I played music with, one died and the other stopped to focus on his career.
I don't even read books anymore, too much time playing music and games.

I am depressed and have no drive, so my hobies are video games, movies, youtube, image boards, walks outside and occasional fitness training, including shoulder presses, situps and jogging. Sometimes I ride a horse.

I spent a decade of my life either homeless or playing dungeon fighter online. If there's something you want to do just do it. You've only got so much time on this gay earth, might as well get started on doing the things you want to actually do.

>What do you talk with them exactly?
So many different topics and scenarios. Of course, there is a lot of smut, but I sprinkle drama in between. The context is what makes things hot.
Although I something just go for funny or amusing things, it's not always gooning material.

>And what do you use?
Over the years, so many different things. CharacterAI at first but when they lobotomized it beyond repair, commercial models. Local sucks ass, absolutely.
I've tried just about every ChatGPT model since Turbo, Sonnet, Opus, etc. I currently use Gemini because that's what I have unlimited access to. And always using Sillytavern as the frontend.

drawing, when I have loads of freetime its my main activity, but if I have other things to do i'll mainly stick with vidya since I like to spend multiple hours a day on drawing to keep the "flow" going, multiple mini burst sessions just leave me feeling blue balled.

but, objectively speaking, my only hobby these days is trail running. I fucking love trail running.

Exercise, researching health and various nutritional things, writing, tabletop. I do some shakuhachi flute stuff and picked up writing and singing.i use the attitude and skills of practicing from all my hobbies to try and learn things better. I'm practicing my aim and fighting games and plan to pick up more things I'm bad at to get good at them until I have no weaknesses.

I've been learning some stuff from taoism and Buddhism and Plato to also try and learn how to vibe better and also develop my logic and thinking further. A trivium study and how to read a book is pretty good.

I'm pretty much bedridden from health issues that cause chronic pain and benzo addiction that made my autism/anxiety so bad that I dont leave my house. I'm trying to get help. I can barely function and am barely hanging on.

Besides that I am trying to get into capeshit comics because I loved the cartoons as a kid. And I love giant robot anime and my cats.

I walk a lot. Pokémon Go manages to combine both hobbies which I guess is cool, but it is a pretty shit game. Still play it on and off though.
Walk about 7-10 miles a day at work, usually walk 10 miles recreationally on days off (sometimes a few miles after work too).

My knees are probably going to turn to dust by 40, but it's the only form of exercise I like and usually the only excuse I have to go outside.

Painting miniatures and scale models, including plastic Gundams, along with making custom parts using polystyrene. Plus photography, especially at events and anime cons. You won't believe how fun it is to photograph at idol cosplayers performance or when you ask some amateurs at con to pose and see their pure joy when you show them the results.

I'm dreaded of the moment when I will become too old to do this kind of photography, since it's one of those very few moments I can say I felt happy. Plus, I still haven't had the chance to do a real photoshoot with a cosplayer/model - I'm just too shy/scared to even ask. Especially after hearing how local scene keep "black list" of photogs.

>or scrolling Youtube shorts like some zoomer

I suggest to stop doing that. Browsing 4chan at least means you engage in some sort of commentary or discussions, shorts were designed to literally fry your dopamine receptors with quick content you just keep consuming endlessly. They want to turn you and me into drooling retards in the name of profit. Don't let them do that.

I play tabletop games when I've got the time, build Gunpla, or read. I used to write when I was younger, nothing astounding but I did some stuff published that helped pay for college tuition.

Currently I've been writing Pokemon fanfic as a writing exercise and because I've had a story kicking around for like ten years now I've wanted to try and make.
