Play games.

 

Take up other hobbies, such as sport shooting, minor gunsmithing, remote control aviation, cars/trucks/motorcycles, dance, martial arts, coding.

Nice list, but I don't suggest coding. I've been doing that for 20 years and it sucks. haha

Want something that'll keep you busy for a long, long time? Start collecting and cataloguing adult videos.

Yeah, but you do it at a professional level. As a hobby, not bad.

How did you know what I do in my spare time?

I was actually listing some stuff I would do.

I don't have PC Building Sim, but I have been known to take apart and rebuild my rig on occasion when I get bored.

 

Also picking up some older systems and messing around with those is a pretty fun and interesting way to do things.

Having to deal with the big changes in Windows 10 vs Windows XP is a fun challenge too.

just because you are a PC enthusiast it does not mean you cant do anything else, that does not involve PC´s

Programming and watching heyayayay 10 hours with he man is what most people do when not playing video games. 

 

Cooking is fun too as some recipes if time is taken can last for hours. As long as you don’t majorly fuck up, food turns out fine.

Learn something new? Get a subscription to Lynda.com or some other site and start learning about things you think you're interested in and go from there.

Agreed. I spent 4 hours on my cereal cooking this morning and it turned out good. :P

What happened to the good ol' days of a piece of paper and a damn pencil? You don't need technology for "everything". xD

Well, one could argue that knowing how to do draw on a computer is a more marketable skill, should one wish a job in multimedia-creation.

I wont argue that point with you because you're right but if you're doing it just as a "time killer", doing so without tech isn't bad either.

True enough. My ex draws/drew on physical paper and many of those creations were just gorgeous, making them excellent stuff to hang on the walls for decoration. Personally, I've always quite adored the skill of being able to create something without involving a computer. There's just something special about knowing that the beautiful cabinet you have, for example, was made completely by hand by someone who had taken the time and effort to learn and perfect their craft.

 

Me...I am so skilled that I can't cook even plain water.
