is it "lame" to play video games? What are some cooler hobbies?
>>29490709
I live with a bunch of chads. Your hobbies don't matter desu. They sit there and play xbox all day and smoke weed. I mean so do I, but the difference is they still consistently bring back attractive chicks and fuck them.
They'll seriously just sit there and watch them play Fifa or Halo for hours while just laughing at everything they say, then eventually find their way into someones room.
The truth is it doesn't matter what you do, if you're chad everything you do is cool.
>>29490709
Yeah man. Girls don't care if you play video games if your not a dweeb. Me and my bros drink and do drugs all the time. When we're not partying or working we play video games. Just don't give a fuck anymore anon. Go to partys and meet some sluts. Its easy bro
Playing video games is not lame. It isn't any different than your average Chad playing CoD, Madden, Battlefield, FIFA, etc, etc. I live with two of them. One hobby I picked up from one of them is fixing/modding cars to the point where I compete in normie race events. The other Chad took me to play paintball and it was a blast. Totally recommend it if you haven't tried.
>>29490709
Playing a musical instrument. Except bass doesn't score any chicks and there are probably some other instruments that don't do either
>>29490709
there arent lame hobbies, only lame people
>>29490709
It's not lame but gets real boring at times. Learn to sketch or learn to take good pictures.
>>29491283
how to learn to sketch
>>29491441
1- Take pencil or pen
2- SketchLook up Loomis or other drawing tutorials
>>29491472
Thanks senpai. Found me a pen. No paper but i'll draw on some old textbooks someone has lying around
>>29491283
>tfw hands shake slightly all the time for some unknown reason
I'll never be good at drawing :^(
drinking micro brews is a really popular normie hobby
>>29490709
I got into woodworking out of boredom
I made me a new bed, drawer and speaker enclosures
It's satisfying as hell and the smell is marvelous, just invest a few hundred on tools and you're good to go
you can even get some validation at /diy/ if you have no one else to show your work to
>>29490772
>FIFA or Halo
Come on senpai I mean we all know those norm i.e. Shit is ok plus they handsome
Since this thread is up
Is it pathetic if i start skateboarding again at 26 years old?
>>29491648
yes it isi feel i shouldnt have to tell someone that
>>29491679
Why though?
They were the only times of my life i remember happiness.
>>29490709
>is it "lame" to play video games?
Yes. Video games are for little children.
>What are some cooler hobbies?
Writing, reading, playing an instrument, hiking, sewing, making movies etc. Anything productive and intellectually stimulating.
>>29490709
Video games are not a hobby.
You should play golf if you want to sound refined
>>29491648
It's a young man's game, your bones are too dense and brittle to take frequent falls without developing chronic injuries. If you didn't manage to git gud in your early teens, I wouldn't bother.
>>29490709
It's fine to play games, but that shouldn't be all you do. If you don't want to make games, try getting some music software, painting, drawing, cooking, etc.
>>29491648
No

Seems like good exercise too
>>29491679
Fuck that negativity

>intellectually stimulating.
>yfw
There are plenty of games that little kids have trouble understanding and completing, that deal with important topics children won't entirely understand.
Just like there are dull books, music, and movies.
>>29491648
It's probably the most pathetic thing I've ever heard of. I mean, skating is faggy as fuck, but at 26...

>>29491869
Good post
I'm going to get me a complete and start skating again.
>>29491869
You sir, are a fucking idiot.
>>29491763
You're never to old to skate so start small and see if you like it.

Ah, summer really has taken hold.
>>29490709
Your hobbies don't matter as much as physical appearance or personality. As long as you can hold a conversation and make yourself sound cool they'll want to hang out.
>>29490772
This desu senpai
Lived with Chads before. We'd smoke weed all day and play video games most days (lots of FIFA). Had some good times getting drunk and playing smash bros with them though. Got one of them to even get into dark souls at the time. But yeah somehow they found a way to end up with a chick on their bed at the end of the night while all I had on my bed was a bong and a cumrag.
>>29490709
Yes, video games are for children. Sports/physical fitness, art or music are much more acceptable hobbies.
>>29491520
Beta blockers. Go get a prescription for them and be amazed. A godsend for the shakes.
>>29492105
Do they even unironically make memes like this anymore?
I can't remember the last time I saw one.
>>29490709
All I do is play, watch and discuss video games but in real life I never tell people I play them because people are all plebs with no taste. I wish I had a nickel for every conversation that went like this:
>so what do you do
>videogames, mostly
>oh you play videogames! like calladuty
>no, I don't like those games
>so you like what... madden, halo
>no I play a lot of grand strategy games
>oh like civ v
>no that's a 4x strategy, not grand
>so what do you like
>(i list games)
>never heard of them
>okay
Fuck video games.
>>29491548
Kek this is so true, atleast here in Boulder.
>>29491648
Not at all. Skaters are very accepting of anybody who skates at any skill level or age.
People on here are just bitter faggots, and you would do well to avoid their shitty advice.
I'd suggest you get yourself a blank deck off amazon, some thunder trucks, some bones reds bearings, and some bones street tech formula wheels. Maybe a deathwish deck if you have the money and want to learn flip tricks easier.
all hobbies are a waste of time
if what u were doing was useful you would be getting paid by someone to do it
>>29492193
Don't be a faggot about it jeez man. Nod and smile, don't ever reveal your power level.
>>29491869
Dumbass.
Skating keeps you in shape and is fun as fuck. Plus when you do really dangerous things in front of women it makes them wet.
>>29492193
>oh like civ v
>no that's a 4x strategy, not grand
>so what do you like
>(i list games)
>never heard of them
>okay
>oh like civ v
>yeah something like that, have you ever played (game)?
>no
>it's fun
>okay i'll try it
>okay let me know if you like it
>>29491648
skateboarding is doll-play only the players are the dolls
it's worst when they have a camera bro and repeat shots all day to get them "right"
>>29492105
Some people say "sir" because it is actually part of the english language and not a meme you autistic faggot.
>>29492193
Wow you are autistic.
Score yourself faggot.
>>29492062
you should only be skating past 19 yo if youre a professional skater, if not then get a hobby that wont cripple you
>>29492282
Language is a meme you dumb cunt, and the expression you used is a 9fag meme, kill yourself.
>>29492223
That is literally the most retarded non-sequiter I have ever read.
How the fuck are they "dolls"? You just asserted that with no reasoning.
>>29492244
Thank you dubsman for your conversational skills.
I had a video game discussion last week with someone at work and I yelled at them because they said Civ was a grand strategy.
I might be autistic.
>>29492317
Joke's on you, I already did that test.
Weightlifting
Cooking
Learning languages (including sign language)
Studying subjects like history, economics, philosophy, politics
Improving yourself in other ways
Collecting world record titles
Martial arts (you can do karate, jiu jitsu, even tai chi if you're low mobility)
Volunteering at your local community center
Pick up artistry
Taking care of a pet
Gardening/botany
Carpentry
Repair (cars, electronics, computers)
Coding/learning to program
>>29492361
Language is a meme, but "sir" is not a 9gag meme. It is just english.
And I am a different person btw. I don't call people sir facetiously, but I also don't have a problem with people who do because I'm not a manchild who thinks 4chan is his secret clubhouse.
>>29492372
>I yelled at them because they said Civ was a grand strategy.
>I might be autistic.
yeah maybe, it's okay to disagree but don't get too worked up over it
>>29492385
>Pick up artistry
everything except this is good, unless you meant "picking up" music, painting, and not PUA cancer
>>29492372
Fuck, you scored higher than me by 2 points.
I guess I am more autistic than I thought. You sound like a grand wizard to me,
>>29492412
>"sir" is not a 9gag meme
No, but "you sir, are a" is a 9fag meme. Coincidentally 9fag is the kind of place where users think skating is cool.
>>29492442
I did mean pick up artistry as it refers to women. You can do this respectfully/without exploitation.
But I did forget to add picking up drawing, painting, sculpting, and learning an instrument/starting a band which are great hobbies in and of themselves.
There are also many other outdoorsy things you can do - hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, waterskiing, whatever.
>>29492450
I'm just passionate about video games. It's one of the few things I have emotions about.
>>29492464
I have never used 9gag in my life, and I have been browsing 4chan since I was 14 (18 now).
I also like to skateboard.
Checkmate you autistic faggot.
>>29492361
>>29492412
>>29492361
>Language is a meme
holy shit it is not. haven't you faggots read chompsky's foundational work in linguistics?
>>29490709
hobbies are for normies
get /out/ if you have them
>>29490709
Drawing is really fun. Draw whatever you feel and think.
>>29492530
No, because language is a meme, and I don't need a book to tell me otherwise in way too many words and with way too much mental gymnastics.
If you would like to refute that point I would suggest that you make an effort to defend your beliefs with words other than just "go read this long ass book lel".
>>29492524
>I have never used 9gag in my life
Which is why you don't understand where this comes from.
>I also like to skateboard.
Then you should go there. Or go out and hang with your group of edgy faggots and get your kneecaps smashed.
>>29492610
ah
i thought you were from 9fag or reddit
but now i see you are from /pol/gtfo
>>29492612
Literally none of my friends skate because they are too pussy or too fat. I just do it by myself until I hurt myself too badly then go home and shitpost/play vidya/do drugs.
Is that conformist enough to 4chan culture for you you fucking normie? Because I don't pattern my actions on the autistic ramblings of anonymous faggots on an Austrian digeridoo enthusiast forum, and I really don't give a shit what you think about my life.
>>29492703
Nope. I pretty much exclusively browse /r9k/.
I am not racist, although sjws might think I am for not ascribing to their ideologies.
>>29492761
Anyone older than 18 who stil wastes time on video games is manchild status.
>>29492727
>play vidya/do drugs.
Yep, edgy little generation Z faggot who thinks he's a special snowflake and non-conformist because he slides on a wheeled board around town. Hope you get run over by a drunk.
Anyone have any tips/sources/guides on learning electronics or coding?
>recently bought this kit (link related) and want to learn more, hopefully learning enough to make something cool like a quadrocopter/drone or program a really basic game
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12060
Recently bought a camera still figuring out how to use it, anyone else into photography?
>>29492794
It's ok sempai, I am voting for Trump.
>>29492825
>Recently bought a camera still figuring out how to use it
Are you retarded? Point it at things and press the button.
>>29492864
Have you ever even seen a DSLR you mongoloid?
There are manual aperture, shutter, and ISO settings.
>>29492936
Why do you have a camera anyway? Just use your phone, you idiot.If you haven't noticed by now, I am shitposting. I am also the other guy who shitposted too.
>>29492499
>You can do this respectfully/without exploitation.
It's fine if you want to learn how to be social and talk to people, but a lot of it just seems like manipulation or misleading desperate people for money
>>29492971
Are you Australian or Canadian?
Every guy ever known enjoy video games. Many of them are Chad's, and many of them do whatever they want to do to make themselves happy. If video games are enjoyable to you, then play them, anon! Of course, a job and an education doesn't hurt either! But no one really cares about what your hobbies are. They are specific to only you.
>>29490709
>caring at all whatsoever about what others may or may not think about you or what you do beyond the point to which those others' potential thoughts might have any tangible negative effect(s) on your life professionally and/or personally, ever
you didn't say you did care, you only asked a couple of questions, but what I wrote goes out to anybody who'd ask that first one or worry along similar lines regarding that specifically or almost anything else
"cooler" is subjective as you know, all that should matter to you is what YOU enjoy
>>29492825
Also I guess any good guides to get better at taking photos
>>29490709
>is it "lame" to play video games? What are some cooler hobbies?
make video games?
producing is always cooler than consuming
