Hello and I'm back but no one cares.
So anyway I have a questions for you all; What do you as a hobby when you're not playing video games (dota)?
So I'll start off with my own hobby which is making mixes/mash-ups of songs and currently trying to expand my audience (of 10 people which no one cares about).
Feel free to say 1 sentence answers like myself or a whole paragraph. idc.
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.

i am a national level swimmer, i am more than proficient in paper quilling, i help a lot of people on suicide watch.

Edit: i also am an avid music listener. I listen anywhere near 150 to 200 tracks depending upon the type of music i'm listening to.

I compose a lot of prog metal songs.
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.

For me it's gambling. Like in semi-professional gambling.

Mainly in horse racing. I watch the history of previous races and I try to compare the way people bet in those races to the way they should theoretically be betting according to probability. There's a lot of computation/programming involved to compute probability and I find that pretty enjoyable (in a geeky way). And then when I find out what's wrong about the other people's betting patterns I make my own patterns that use the imbalance I'm seeing and run them with real money.

You sir, have my respect for saving/helping people.

Otherwise it's wonderful to hear all of your wonderful hobbies.

I'm studying sequential art, so I spend more than a fair chunk of my time drawing, writing and reading comic books, manga and graphic novels. Oh, and I study... sometimes...

I used to be a volunteer paramedic, now I am donating blood every 2 months (since I am AB IV) if you can call those hobbies. Studying a lot of phylosophy as well, I started to enjoy it for some reason.

I make youtube videos on two channels. One is reviews of 2000s American media, usually animation, Watcher of the 2000s. https://www.youtube.com/user/WatcherOfThe2000s

And another is all my other stuff, which is usually voice acting and out of character reviews, on a channel called Cuttleboss. https://www.youtube.com/user/Cuttleboss

Been a while tho.

i write. Read. muse internally.

main hobby?

i call it "Ravens mind"

basically you set aside 2-3 hours
grab a nice drink
make sure your comfortable
turn on computer.
go to google.
now think of something you want to know more about.
"American civil war battles"
now you go to the first two pages and read about it.
then you kinda just let your mind "catch" something.
usually its a word you dont know or a theme, item, weapon, idea, saying...basically anything you dont know and then create a separate tab and google it.
open first two links and do the same.
then after an hour you go in reverse.
read the latest page completely then close it and got to the next one.
read it and then close it.


i used to do this with books at a library and its very enlightening.

it forces your mind to be more elastic.

one moment your reading about lee Enfield rifles the next your considering the implications of the philosophical teachings by jacques derrida and his deconstruction techniques.

I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL.... WITH FLUFFY BUNNIES
