What do you think?
Playing video games (obviously). I also enjoy playing my guitars and playing basketball.

Congrats on your raise, I'm certain it was well-deserved and that you deserved more! :) My hobbies are collecting things (records, consoles from 80's & early 90's, steam bundle games...), programming & learning computery things like that, and spending time with my wife & cats. :)

Stuff like C, C++, AWK for fun, C# for work (and it's not technically a programming language, but lots and lots of SQL also), tiny amount of Java for making Android apps, and various scripting languages :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice, I mainly use SAS, SQL, and R but I have dabbled with Java VB c++ and Python
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm probably doing more SQL than anything else in my daily job for the past 10 years or so. I really actually enjoy it, which is apparently rare, as most developers I've talked to absolutely hate it and try their hardest to not get assigned to work on SQL stuff :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I find SQL alright too loves me some data, i guess people just can't be bothered with the easy stuff

When talking about the language I say S-Q-L, unless I'm talking with someone about Microsoft SQL Server then I'll say "sequel server" because that what everybody else calls it and I don't want to seem like the pedantic weirdo. :P

I just say screw it and annoy everyone with seaqwell

It is the holy war of SQL devs for sure. :) I once was in a non-SQL class with a guy from the Caribbean, and the teacher kept referencing "Sequel Server" during one part of the lesson, and this guy had no idea what the teacher was talking about. Apparently where he was from, nobody called it that. After the class we were talking about it he was like "What is this? Is it new? Is it like DB2 or what? I've never heard of it before!" ... and finally after a while of going back and forth like that, I realized what was going on and said "Microsoft S-Q-L Server". He responded with an "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" :)

What is a hobby? That's playing all your backlog games right?
Comment has been collapsed.
My newest on my backlog I just got to was a lego game. Now I have no time :'(

Thank you, my hobby is scuba diving as well. But I dive mostly in germany and here you need a bit more neopren to not freeze to death ;->.
Comment has been collapsed.
I dive either in warm water near Hawaii or Florida mostly but I live in Michigan so I dive in the cold lakes when I am bored
Comment has been collapsed.
;-< For me its the other way around. mostly in our lake (4-6°C below 8m) above between 2 and 18 depending on summer/winter. And only rarely holidays somewhere else ... But at least for training it's good. If you want people to swim by compass, well the have to, because you don't see shit (1-3m).
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd just dive in my bathtub if I could only have 1-3m of visibility. That must stink
Comment has been collapsed.
Jeha. In addition to that we have no plants and nearly no fish in that lake ;-<
But it's the only possibility where you can dive whith driving under 2+hours. And we are pretty lucky to have that lake. Most diving clubs around us have nothing (and need to drive the long way).
Ok, thats not completely true. There is another lake about 20min (more) away where we can dive as well, but the visibility is not really better. But this one has fish (up to 1.5 meter) which is kind of fun once in a while ;->
Our lake is fine for teaching and just diving, it's just no fish-seeing tour.
But if I dive in the sea it's kind of more spectecular for me I guess ;->
Comment has been collapsed.
I can respect that. Just being underwater is worth it. Seeing pretty fish and reefs is just a bonus

Little bump
I like to collect things, like minerals, bottle caps, keys, and obviously playing video games xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I would always start collecting stuff like that and then I would be amazed by something else and think what I had was trash/lame and toss it. Then later I wish I would have kept it :(

Other than the obvious, collecting live music recordings.
Comment has been collapsed.
Various subgenres* of rock spiced with a bit of pop.
*alt. rock, instrumental, grunge, post-grunge, indie, shoegaze, dream pop, hard rock, progressive rock, punk rock...
Comment has been collapsed.
My strongest musical influences are from the late 80s - early 90s, as can be observed from the genres I'm mostly into.
There is some excellent stuff from 70s and 80s, heavily influencing the bands I like.
But personally I have never really gotten into the music of the earlier era as a whole. Aerosmith being an exception.
Looking at my music library there is 341 tracks released or performed between 1970-1979. 2255 from 1980-1989. 23904 from 1990-1999 and so on, you get the idea... Naturally there is less quality stuff around from the 70s and 80s compared to 90s and later. Or maybe I like the wrong bands. There is a large volume of Led Zeppelin and Grateful Dead around various sites for example.

bootlegs are these? that reminds me i have to find more, year doesn't matter to me there are great artists coming out today as there was 100s of years ago
Comment has been collapsed.
Mostly bootlegs (audience recordings, soundboards, FM, TV etc.), but also official releases as many bands release their live shows these days through their own sites or through sites like www.livedownload.com.

I like photography, poetry and coding.
& I am good at none of them.

I don't have any interesting hobbies =(
I guess being a minor wristwatch enthusiast counts as something different.
Comment has been collapsed.
So many different ones for so many different reasons...
Probably won't ever make enough to own: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak automatic
Probably can't find: Omega Speedmaster "Mitsukoshi" version or Rolex Submariner w/ a spider web dial
Can afford if I'm willing to dunk into my savings hard: Rolex Datejust (2016 version) or a Rolex Submariner
Can purchase but would probably only for a special reason: Omega Seamaster, Speedmaster or Planet Ocean
Currently wearing (current favorite?) almost everyday: Seiko Cocktail Time on a blue perlon strap
Favorite watch in collection: My dad's Rolex Datejust
"Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"

I follow some of it. I use an invicta pro diver as my dive watch as well as fashion and it has treated me well so far. It's nothing too special but I love it

I used to read novels of some interesting tag on websites. :D
Detective, horror, thriller, fantasy, and historical are part of my favorite tags.ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

That's crazy! I've only been to 2-3 concerts in my life :(

Hobbies... reading would be one, nothing beats books. Except fire (and water when you pour it over the fire) and some insects.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think that the book will be the loser on this case. But you can read the book still if it was only one bullet, unless it shredded the book really bad. Thinking all these things and poor books...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I actually liked them a lot. Didn't expect much when I grabbed one from the shelf, thought it being a cheap man's Indiana Jones or something. The movies really have that boyish adventure charm.
It is a real shame that some great movies / series just don't get enough attention. I was a bit depressed after I heard that Sanctuary didn't get new season :/

I play acoustic and classical guitar along with some starting on ukulele :3

I used to be a center and then I stopped growing... :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Happened to me too actually, as a kid I was growing fast and they thought I would be 2.05 meters at least. Then I stopped growing and still am 188 ... It really fucked me in a sports way coz I had almost no coordination as a fast growing kid and coz of that my coordination still lacks a bit. On the other hand, my best friend was like below my head, he was always up to my chin, amazing ballhandling, real short playmaker, and then he started growing. He's taller than me now and has awesome coordination...

You have a really cool hobby. Mine is manga and anime. Whenever I have some spare time and I see a sheet of paper and pencil/pen, I can't resist to draw something. One of my biggest challenge for drawing so far are dragons. :)
Otherwise I love playing old computer games (Amiga) and hidden object ones too.
And when that is not enough...then a good movie in the evening is my thing to do. :)
Have a great day/evening. :)

My favorite non anime movie is definitely Lord of the Rings.
As for anime? No surprise here...Sailor Moon. :) But also Vampire Knight and Record of Lodoss War. Every year I discover more and ore anime that I simply love. But Sailor Moon started it all for me. :)

I haven't been scuba diving in ages... Right now all my hobbies are typical "overweight nerd" hobbies: reading, movies, tv shows, computer games, ... I have been a pretty active geocacher for a while, but I haven't really been doing that in a while. The occasional one when I'm near one anyway, but not the cool long ones...

I know English and am pretty good at Mandarin Chinese.
I've studied a bunch of others a bit too, but not really able to use them much yet

Mine might be photography, reading, geography, listening to music, and wasting time online. :)

I like reading books (some fiction, but mostly history and other non-fiction) and playing poker. I've been doing ok at the table.

I'm to cautious to play with betting. I can only play for fun
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I play for fun sometimes too. But then everyone plays like a maniac unfortunately. When you're playing for money people actually play the game seriously then and it can be more fun as long as you're not losing too much. ;-)

I love camping, hiking, biking, scuba diving (although I haven't been in a few years) and, um, farming. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) All things outdoors. :D

I was bored and got a 30¢ raise so I thought I'd spend some $cash$ on you guys. I hope you guys enjoy these GAs. If you don't know, I also have a Avatar the Last Airbender train and have a problem with a UNIX System going on right now.
The GAs:
As opposed to saying "thanks" or "bump" tell me what your favorite hobby(ies) are :)
Mine are scuba diving and playing hockey, until I broke my knees.
