If your hobbies consist of anything other than escapist media consumption, you are a part of the problem. Leave and take your food with you, normie chef.

>there's no such thing as escapism through craft and creation.

in order for an escape to happen, your body has to be going somewhere.
we're not meant to be working 24/7. if you're playing a video game you're not escaping, you're just resting.

the way you look at things means everything relative to what they actually are.

The best form of escapism is constructive escapism. The robot who escapes the pain of the world by creating and crafting is enlightening and investing in his future.

I build gunpla. They're plastic kits that you assemble and then customize to your liking by painting, or even combining parts from different robots to make something original. I started painting one for the first time a while back, but I've yet to continue.

Nice, fellow foodfag! I'm getting into Italian cooking lately, although German and Russian cuisines are my passion, since it feels more like I'm connecting with my roots (My family is of Volga German descent). Here's some semmelknoedel I just made while drunk. Used half of a loaf of sourdough I baked a couple days ago.

I do a pretty mean tiramisu, but sweet foods aren't really my taste. There's some good applications for rum in savory cooking, though --one of my favorite stew recipes uses a quarter of a cup of Jamaican rum.

Alcohol is such an underappreciated ingredient. My secret queso ingredient is a shot of mezcal. Try it sometime; it makes the whole thing wonderfully smoky and complex.

>>37509299
I think the reason french and italian food are god-tier is because they use wine regularly in their dishes. There are some cuisines that lack that.

That sucks, anon. I know that feel to an extent (there's lots of overly sweet and sticky Americanized Chinese food, but not much else and definitely no regional cuisines like Sichuan)
If you've got a couple of basic pantry staples, though (dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, star anise, rice wine, five spice powder), you can make a lot of basic Chinese dishes. This site has a lot of great info and recipes and was my gateway to Chinese cooking: http://thewoksoflife.com

He has told me Risotto is supposed to be light and fluffy and have no sauceyness or liquid.
He's also said Meat is tasteless, and it's impossible to have a healthy diet that includes meat. He also admitted to me he couldn't even make a taco for his GF and took her out to eat instead.

He's probably the only person on this board who I want to die in a fire.
>>37509630
Well the people criticizing me here don't know shit either. I've heard ridiculous criticisms.
"risotto is supposed to be light and fluffy"
It's literally a starchy and creamy dish. I've never had any risotto that wasn't filling or heavy.

>in order for an escape to happen, your body has to be going somewhere.
Why not send your brain somewhere. Escapism isn't purely physical, you normie.

>>37508580
Mine is probably vidya. I play a lot of different games, and I like to muck about with files sometimes, so I can elevate it ever-so-slightly above simple media consumption.

I used to do a bit of cooking for a very short novelty. Was making different flavours of pancakes. But I just don't have the patience for cooking.

>>37510845
well rap will sell more and be a lot easier to make. So your call.

I like cooking, though I have a very hard time with moat meats. Lately I've also taken a heavy intetest in breeding, and have decided to start the long process of developing a cat breed. I really like cats, particularly my cat and I think she is the ideal cat and needs to be preserved. I also like pokemon, baking, hygiene, drawing, and walking around taking pictures of all the cats I see, assigning them names and rankings.

>>37511190
I think most if it is a vegan samefag, and several people angry that I'm cooking rather than eating the fast food they eat everyday.

>>37511266

It's pretty simple.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and give it a light spray of olive oil.

Slice a punnet of cherry tomatoes in half, give them a light spray of olive oil then sprinkle over fresh thyme.

Put around 8 - 10 cloves of garlic on the tray and give that a spray as well.

Into the oven for 20 mins or so at 180 or whatever that is in imperial.

One large brown onion, one cup of aborio rice, one cup of white wine, and a couple of litres of boiled vege or chicken stock you've got in a pot on the stove on the lowest heat.

You know what to do.

Add parmesan.

I make lofi beats in my spare time. Producing from hardware is really rewarding

>>37511400
Thanks man. do you need to peel or prep the tomatoes in anyway?

>>37511496
Not the poster but i leave them them alone

>>37511457
Do you know how I might replicate that hardware with software? I really like the op 1 but I only have fl studios

>>37511496

Nope. Slice them in half, oil, thyme, roast.

>>37511529
The op-1 is a great machine.

Kontakt is probably the best synth software alternative. If you want a hardware synth but cant justify 1k try looking around for a secondhand microkorg.

I try to average 1hr per day, usually it's less on weekdays and more on the weekends
> Lifting
I used to have 4, 2hr training sessions per week but I'm on meds and my joints hurt as fuck so I reduced that to 2-3 light 1hr training sessions.
> Learning French
I do a minimum of 30 minutes of French per day. I'd like to read French books one day.
> Programming
It's my job but when I'm in the mood I work on some projects in my spare time.
> House plants
I'm really bad at it (killed two ivies and my areca palm is dying) but it's fun, relaxing and I like that my room is green now would like to have more but I'll have to think how to put the plans.
> Guitar
I don't spend as much time as I did and wish I had more energy/time to do it.

Although it's already been posted beforex my favorite hobby is Gunpla. I've recently started getting into custom painting my kits, and I've been working with my sister to finish our first custom kit together. It's a really fun hobby and seeing the engineering behind these models is a treat. It can get addicting though, and I've created a bit of a backlog for myself.

Here's what we're almost finished with. May not be great compared to others, but it's been fun.

I train martial arts, lift and collect boardgames. I have around 60-70 boardgames and not a single person to play with so I play both/all sides by myself.

I practice doing standup routines but I have intense social anxiety and stage fright.

I was tired of being a pussy and chugged half a bottle of vodka to prepare myself for an open mic night. I got outside the place and started sweating profusely. The sweat made me worry about my appearance and got thrown into a negative thought loop triggering a panic attack. Haven't tried again since but I still practice for my dog.

I was thinking of recording myself in front of a camera and just editing in a memey laugh track for YouTube but it'd be hard to gauge if my jokes are actually funny or complete garbage

I have God-tier knowledge of Jeffrey Dahmer. I know very little about serial killers outside the US.

I'm trying to get into cooking. Mom never really let me cook growing up and would push me out if I fucked up dinner so I haven't been able to practice as much as I'd like. I made a really basic pork roast over the stove about a month ago and it was the most delicious thing I'd ever eaten because I made it all by myself to share with friends.

Ted bundy is a bred sociopath where Chase is completely insane. That's the insanity that interests me.
Berkowitz was also quite fucked up, but in the end if you're into the sociopathic killers, Gacy or DeSalvo are pretty neat choices (specially DeSalvo and his psychological evolution throughout the murders)

I live close to a racetrack, so I volunteer every now and then which gets me sweet access to a bunch of non-public stuff

>Shooting,
Mostly self defense oriented, but I am looking forward to trying out long-range precision soon. I only own a couple guns: a USP, AR, and a Mossman

>Rock Climbing
Trad, and sport mostly

>Reading
I gave up vidya to read more instead. Currently reading The Brothers Karamazov

>Music
Piano, and some guitar

>Hiking, backpacking

Also lift/fit and travel a lot but those shouldn't count as hobbies

Poor lighting and low quality camera. That's all it takes to make delicious food look bad.

Keep in mind these are the same sandwich from the same restaurant.

Lucid dreaming. It takes up time because you sleep a lot and work on stuff during the day.
