I'm obsessed with midieval, renaissance, and early modern history, especially art and literature but also the politics and warfare of that time, weapons, armor, fortifications, the noble families and their heraldry, the great leaders and legendary warriors and explorers, I could go on for days about it if I was so inclined.
I plan on going to school for archaeology this year.

what´s your career all about?

>>10570267
Can you recommend a good place to start about these subjects?

>>10570059
Reading isn't my passion. My only passion right now is finding out what my passion is.

Do you enjoy a sad and meaningless life

Go away Yost.

Hanging out in the part of the library where all of the rich pre-med ladies study and take one home to leech off of because I'm a starving poet and artist

>>10570059
Dunno, vidya? movies? music?
And studying the rest of the time
A day only has 24 hours sadly

>>10570471
I love Italo Calvino

>>10570466
I "literally" have and it's more common than you think
>>10570469
In college it's a lot more straightforward, especially today. You both want to fuck. It's just a matter of making them comfortable and showing them you are someone who they can at least trust for a night or two.

You probably including some weak shit like fucking "doodling" on your list. Get real.

>>10570547
I wasn't even in your list, just wanted to point out that you're an actual autist.

@10570517
>look mom, I replied to everyone

>>10570562
Was a pretty low effort post and a majority of it is in response people saying trash like masturbating and anime. I think you're the autist for caring.

>>10570570
that's what makes you/him an autist though, most of those you/he replied to were obviously not meant to be real hobbies

just basic things. math, games, explore, watching anime.

>instead of ignoring his post so that nobody does this again, let's all reply to him so everyone can see how to get easy (you)s
You are silly sometimes, /lit/.

Lofi hip-hop vibing sessions, exercise, and laughing until my head tips under the desk at stupid videos (just any, anything at all. a.k.a I love wasting my time for my emotional benefit)

>>10570297
Good taste. London?

Playing sax, lifting, medicine, maths

>>10570603
i like u

>>10570059
Videogames, music, programming, women.

Writing Off-Broadway plays

Playing the trombone and keyboard in jazz band, playing harmonica

Cross country skiing, mushroom hunting, bird hunting, canoeing, and hiking

>>10570435
hmm I guess the best place to start is to pick an important person or place or period you're most interested in and look for all the information you can find, as you read you'll see references to other people and places or events, you should then look for information about those subjects, which will lead to other things, and so on until you have a good base of knowledge about the era you were interested in. unironically wikipedia is a great tool for this as they will usually have a simplified history or timeline of events and info and when you see a name or place that you've never heard of you can click the link and read that subjects timeline, it's not perfect but it's a good place to start.
for books..
the 100 years war encyclopedia is an amazing source for midieval warfare and politics, but it's like $150 iirc
for early modern (or early 17th century) war and politics I'd recommend Europe's tragedy, a new history of the 30 years war, it doesn't cover everything but I think it's a good starting point for that period.
and there's tons of good literature from the high renaissance and 17th century, like Dante, Machiavelli, and Petrarch to name a few well known examples (also I'm currently reading Leviathan by Hobbes and I like it so far)
as for art I'd say just start by googling midieval or renaissance art and find an era or an artist you like and search from there
I'd like to say also that I am not an expert on any of these subjects, just someone who is very passionate about the period, and I'd recommend you ask others who are knowledgeable about the time for their recommendations as well.

Walking in nature
Yoga/Meditation
Chess

I wish I could play as well as this chink
I wish I had been taught piano from an early age https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6HeE14KSv_Ls2qALTbmKuw/videos

>>10570679
I forgot to mention that if you're interested in heraldry there's a "wappenwiki" that has a huge database of heraldry and coats of arms, organized by regions and titles.

>>10570423
>I put all time into my career. No need for bullshit hobbies.
>post on 4chan
rmmt

Surfing, skiing, listening to shoegaze, participating in my Christian community.

Monochromatic jigsaw puzzles, drinking Cola, spending time with my girlfriend.

>>10570059
I like to whistle, smoke tobacco from corn cob pipes, and identify flavors in scotch with a glencairn.

>>10570736
sounds comfy, please tell me you live in a log cabin...

Strength training.
Nothing better than hitting heavy squats/deads/bench then showering and getting nice n' cozy with a book and a big mug of coffee and maybe takin' a nappy.

Playing drums.
Looking at pitchers of girls real vaginas and doing BIG CUMS to my penis.

Until just a few months ago on top of literature my main hobbies were: Computer Programming, Video Games and Cycling
In the past few months however I have lost all interest in everything I once enjoyed apart from literature, I have become a misanthrope and am extremely unhappy as a result.
Any books for this feel?

>>10570059
Guns, cooking, crappy old jeeps and V8 motors.

Working through a computer science degree and probably going to do a phd. I've kept my grades super high but it's demanding and doesn't leave me a lot of free time, so I read books whenever I have an hour to burn. Also paint warhammer 40k very rarely and listen to a lot of music. Lately I've been getting into candles if someone can "get into" candles.

>>10570825
It's not exactly empathetic to your situation in particular by Hofstadter was always fun for me and recharged my curiosity in the world. Godel Escher and Bach is good but his essays in Metamagical Themas are good one off reads that can help you feel a little more excited to be in your own head.

>>10570825
Your passions are all more or less solitary pursuits. Being a misanthrope is lonely and feels bad a lot, but c'mon bro, are you SRSLY gonna fall to ur hands and knees and surrender to the pains of existence? Toughen up, ho. Let your despair give you strength.

>>10570059

I am a consumer of all amenities. A sojourner of all experiences, no one path lay under my tread, and I can never stay on one path for long. Fucking sucks, I never become a master of anything.

I'm in debt and get some kind of sick pleasure from it.

Cartoonist
Psychedelics
Watch film
Used to party and hang around the artsy scene but now I'm a recovering alcoholic and I pretty much just stay away from people

>>10570453
Hi dan

>>10570059
Firearms, military history, martial arts, outdoors.

>>10570059
Writing, learn languages which leads to reading books but that's fine, women

Every hobby I have in some way ties back to reading. I have an interest in birds of prey, but I can't exactly go out falconing, so I read about them. I feel very limited

>>10570928
how is the artsy scene?

>>10570706
You don't have to play piano at an early age to play like that.

>>10571113
Not him but it is quite hard to have time for learning piano when you have college and/or a job.

>>10570437
Are you literally me?

playing violin
watching old films, specially Japanese cinema, (+) specially Japanese golden age/new wave
studying Japanese language and culture (I'm not a weeaboo)
swimming

not many things, but I enjoy them

>>10570196
dissertation info? Thinking of getting into higher research.

>>10570059
I collect beetles, fossils, maps and I workout most every day and watch what I eat. Also I've basically cut all ties with the normie world so I just indulge my autism

>>10570302
>Origami
Post an origami of yours!
Pic related is one I made past year.

>>10570928

opera and dance (only occasionally tho - I've seen like one ballet live, one recording, and three modern dance performances)
origami

I'm the artistic type :^)

>>10570473
So you're the art dude at the campus

Fishing
Music
And I'm ashamed to say, video games

>>10570059
I have an interest in historical witchcraft and magic so most of my non-fiction is about that subject. I spend a good deal of time walking down to the YMCA to swim and spend a lot of free time at various festivals. Occasionally there's an opera or traditional musical performance.

>>10570546
Kurosawa is a hack

Watching sports and playing basketball.

Working out most nights.

Learning languages (couple more months of solid practice and grammar skills I will be ready to start reading French books).

Learning/studying psychology.

Dabbling in various artistic mediums; i'm really into art right now (viewing and learning, not actually painting), before it was cinema.

Fapping.

>>10572490
>I watch anime and also spend a lot of time reading hentai manga

Any other unironic amateur boxers here? I'm pretty much done now, but was at it for a couple years

I like editing vocals. I did it for Blindlight and have done basically every game the past few years with the great success of never having my name in any of the credits. I'm considering editing audio books, but in all honesty that sounds far worse than editing shitty video game dialogue.

>>10570065

I do ballroom dancing.

Vidya
Classical music
Running/skiing
Programming

I like writing stories and playing videogames. At the moment, it’s not enough to fill up a life. I just don’t know where to get started. I feel like I honestly have almost no interests whatsoever. Everything is default... I like it because I haven’t found a reason to dislike it, not because there’s something positive in it.

I like running and lifting but need to do both more.
I slap da bass
Im trying to get together a band.

>>10572608
Oh and i forgot to mention cycling.

>>10572526
I wanna get into boxing but don't have money for lessons ;_;
same w/ tennis.

>>10570059
I'm not passionate about anything. I read because I feel obligated. I play video games because it helps to pass the time. I watch television shows and movies because I feel like becoming a screenwriter is the only way I'll ever become a writer and avoid working a traditional job. It's a real chore.

Sleep is the only thing that makes me feel less shitty about my life but most nights I only get about five hours of sleep. Either I'm anxious and can't get to bed or my dogs start barking at shadows at 5 in the morning.

I study Mathematics & Art History in my spare time.

I enjoy cinema, cricket and wine.

Sleeping
Drinking

drinking wine, watching other people play videogames online and jerking off to shemales

>>10572588
cont.
I also enjoy walking for long distances. Occasionally visit museums/exhibitions. I try to write, but I give up too easily. I have a dream journal and enjoy writing down my dreams a lot, because I like the surrealism they offer.

>>10572655
Ah, I see you're also a man of culture

Gardening, drawing, video games (card games, strategy, puzzle, the occasional RPG). Would like to get into piano.

>>10570319
>>10571430
>theater
I was wondering about this, because clown school was a lot of fun, they use a stage, not sure how different theater is from clown school.

Partially Hyperbolic Dynamics, Laminations, and Teichmuller Flow is a book I'm reading. Differential geometry, especially when you start dealing with manifolds is absolutely amazing. Sadly I a bunch of Mochizuki on the backlog though.

Wish I could deal with this type of stuff more at work.

Linguistics
Chess
Running (used to be competitive, now I just jog for fitness)
Shooting, inherited a 1911 and a colt woodsman
Films. Especially 40s-50s American films but others too. I've gotten a little bored with them the past couple months though. Haven't watched anything in a while. I have watched every movie Ingrid Bergman has been in (something like 50+). I used to obsess over her.

I'm considering picking up a combat sport because I'm not doing any intense exercise anymore. Right now I'm intrigued by Judo, Muay Thai, and Boxing. I'd like to be able to fight but also want to avoid the long term brain damage.

>>10572620

I like to play golf. I've played since I was a young lad. My hometown's country club is one of my most favorite places in the entire world. I look forward to teaching my kids how to play when they come of age. Most beautiful game ever invented.

Hahaha that's good, my favorite part about roadtrips is when I don't have to drive. You can take in all the scenery while somebody else does the work. Have fun on your roadtrips, the Midwest is nice, I'm sure you'll like it.

I wouldn't consider this a hobby, but I've been keeping an extremely niche community alive for the past year.

I've thought that a decade-long bonding between those people doesn't deserve to die a slow death that would lead many to a grinding, alienating isolation.

And I'm failing at it. I've come to realize those people are children that cling to that community's idealized past. They tear at each other while refusing to grow and participate in this community with the maturity that will only keep it alive.

Letting it go is the only solution now. But then I will have to recenter myself on rebuilding who I am without this niche. And I barely think I am ready for it.

>>10570252

Not this board. I think /lit/ is a pretty self-sustained community. It doesn't need the active work of anyone.

I like going to museums and searching through paintings online. I try to like music, but I'm finding less to my taste than ever before.
I love cinema and writing about cinema.
