/lgbt/, what are your hobbies and interests? Either alone or stuff you do with partners. I make shitty drawings and play vidya.

Same. Well, I mean I used to draw all the time, then I got depressed and I kind of lost my passion for it. Now I just work and play video games, live vicariously through them and do nothing and go no where.

I read all kinds of texts (I love going to the library), I doodle, play vidya with and without friends, I sew and I write shitty poems in an alphabet of my own design, just for my own entertainment.

I used to write. I won awards for it and stuff. Then I got too depressed to do it. I later realized I'm trans and had been repressing it, but now I can't sit down and do it for long periods anymore, and I'm never as satisfied with it as I was. I also read lots of books on the paranormal and enjoy military clothing and gear.

>>4010873 It's a simulator-esque game, so probably not what you're expecting. You balance the rates of growth between 6 planets and try and get them to live peacefully. I haven't updated since the LD submission, so some bugs (including a rather nasty game ending one that occurs occasionally) and balance issues (bit slow paced). Also, wall of intro text and no built in tutorial (such is the first game you ever make). You'll also need the Unity web player. That all said, it came in the top 25% for all 2000-odd games that were submitted, so I did something right. leftright92.itch.io/harmony

Same here, as well as other shitty life stuff happening that took precedence over creative hobbies. I think I'm just out of practice with it all and that it'll come back in time. Possibly improving once I get on HRT.

>>4011167 shame about those breakages, the ones you posted look quite nice. Had to do a quick currency conversion, but that's less than I thought. >>4011091 high five What are you working on at the moment? I need to get my head down and do some stuff. Might do a remake of the one I posted above or do some kind of themed combat/rhythm based game

>>4011195 I was in this position a while back, nasty depression and shit that ultimately ended up in me dropping out of university (temporarily). I just got tired of lying around feeling sorry for myself and started actually DOING the things I wanted to do, rather than just THINKING about doing them. Suggestion: get off 4chan now and go do some research on something that interests you: look for local clubs or if any of your friends do stuff that might interest you, look into how much it will cost to get started and to keep doing it. Just start doing something. Give yourself the goal of starting a new hobby (or picking up an old one) by the end of the month and have gotten into a regular schedule with it by the end of next month. For example, I go do photography with a friend in the city centre Wedneday afternoons (doing post-production as and when) and try and do a few hours of game dev stuff on the weekend, assuming uni work isn't getting the better of me.

Sudoku, Linux(inb4 ganoo plus loonix), finding interesting music. Other than that, I have some quirks that just spawn out of nowhere, example: Sitting in the waiting at the Doctor's, seeing a pictureframe. Next moment, I'm trying to calculate a way to measure the sides of the frame just by one side and an angle. I don't really have an hobbies I set my teeth into, and I'm not social, so I just spend my time surfing the internet, listening to music, talking to my own mother(inb4 basementdweller).

>>4010774 mainly play video games and I've helped out on a few open source projects before. I helped out a bit on the encog project, basically an open source platform for developing artificial neural nets. I decided to make my own in matlab though since I wanted to incorporate GMDH networks but it would be a pretty big feat in that current project.

Slightly offtopic but im amost 22 mtf and i have pretty much dropped video games for the past couple years. I want to get back into them and get a new gaming pc but should i even bother? I feel like im too old. And im afraid of turning into a basement dweller when i want to be social. Does anyone game at my age and still succeed at other parts of their life? I used to be into scII, other strat games, some WoW, and if i got a new pc id definitely play DA origins, and see if there are any mmorpgs worth playing. But i dont want to be a loser, i want to be social and shit so i might not do any of this

>>4011600 Go outside and explore your nearest large town/city then. If you're scared, bring a friend or pick up a sport like bicycling and roam around that way. Volunteer at a cat shelter - they always need free help and you get to pet and hang out with cats all day. Try learning an instrument, if you already know one then learn a different one.

>>4011580 Yeah I play WoW and there are tons of guilds that are 18+ or 21+ exclusive. Same with Rift when I used to play that. Actually young people in MMO's are kind of excluded these days. They tend to swarm around pvp where you don't need to make friends or they play MOBA's where socialization isn't a key aspect.

>>4011630 I mean I had a chronic videogame addiction to cope with my shit childhood and my inability to deal with myself I literally played video games like 10 hours a day from like 15 until 20 So moderation would be best, but I would say to not give a shit about playing anything "competitively" because you might as well hone your skills in something that is actually relevant or will get you girl/boy points :3 also grr didn't mean to have trip on lol

>>4011614 This is such a douche response but: I dont have a bike, i dont like cats or dogs, i dont like playing instruments. I go out with my partner to live music and stuff a few times a week, and we find things to do but none of them are really hobbies. Iv always been kind of contemptuous of artsy things bc people brag about their art stuff so much
