Your non Retro Gaming hobbies/interests?

Haven’t regretted it for a second! The real challenge is finding a place with decent Internet.

Bump-shakalaka!

My hobbies are:

  • writing fiction
  • listening to synthwave music
  • listening to horror podcasts
  • watching horror movies

Thought I’d share a music video that my band put out last week!

Awesome dude, killin’ it on the drums!

I know you did a great job because I’m somewhat of a pro drummer myself. I can play rock band drums on expert difficulty.

Not a big deal.

:rofl: Thanks Rask! This was a lot of fun to put together. It was my first time doing one of these. We shot over 2 days and played that song something like 100 times.

Hello, all! My first post here. I only ever play FIFA on my PC as far as popular games go. Otherwise I play Jazz Jackrabbit, Glace, Road Redemption, and you might see a pattern emerging.

Other than games, I enjoy reading and music mostly. Also enjoy bike commuting. I just traded in my 10-yr-old Trek 3700D for a Trek Marlin 4, which is absolutely great for commuting and some basic trail riding.

Welcome to the site!

Jazz Jackrabbit is a classic! Do you emulate it or play it on an actual DOS PC?

Thank you.

I just emulate it, no DOS PC :slight_smile:

I mostly draw people and portraits, all mediums both digital and traditional.
Although lately it’s just been pencils and sketchbook stuff.

You may have seen those videos with images generated by AI (many adaptions of video games in 80’s movies concept), I did a little one on what would Star Wars 7 look like, in my mind.
Of course it ended on the CRT.

Édit: and for the topic, I sing with my guitare, just for myself, and for this video.

I did a youtube channel to put some of my music, covers for now, with the use of CRT imagery, and video game for this one:

Outside of retro gaming, I really do like reading comics and graphic novels. A recent read that turned out to be more thought provoking than I’d expected was George Takei’s They Called Us Enemy – which, interestingly enough, is marketed as a “graphic memoir.” Nonetheless, as all good memoirs, this one adds to the formalized, disciplinary narrative of history by focusing on individual experiences of historical events. Not that comics and graphic novels need to be legitimized, but works like this sure do help in that regard (for there are those who loathe the comic merely because it is illustrated, as if anything that gets called a “novel” will never be bad, and anything this graphic or comic will never be good.)

I haven’t been keeping up with it lately but I really like to do photography.

Here’s a few of my favorites.
