Also, please answer your own question :)
Playing video games, drawing, reading, hiking, I've been getting more into rock climbing but I've only gone 3 times, camping, lighting shit on fire(Im a proud pyro)

but mostly im just a dude who chills out with his friends and does whatever comes up, i've been skiing(both snow and water), snowboarding, wake boarding rollerblading , I plan to go white water rafting this summer but the plans have been slowly falling through :(
fingers are crossed though :)

JETPACK MAN! ... Programming it. :)

Collision detection and (especially) resolution is hard. I'm trying to make it deterministic (exactly the same every time, meaning the game is unaffected by frame rate), 'a priori' (meaning predictive collision detection -- mine goes a step further, and collision is predicted at the exact instant it occurs instead of checking the next frame), and to follow as many 'good practices' as possible (e.g. making it 'pythonic', using libraries, writing tests, writing documentation, tracking issues, etc).

I'm working on getting a 'resting state', so that you don't get insane lag whenever you're 'landing' on something. I recently ran into some issues, and now I'm beginning to write some unit tests, that I hope will pay off some time in the future.

Also: 40hrs/week at an internship, working on a to-do list Windows 7 phone app, watching anime, playing games, trying to learn japanese, etc. :p

Making small games and failing to complete them..
Attempting to learn AI and failing (a few weeks later, I forget most of what I'd learned and re-learn them)..
Reminding myself to learn more math and physics and forgetting..

That's pretty much where I am now =/

I've been playing around with cards. Magic and flourishes - the fancy stuff. Then there's League of Legends, which eats up lots of time. I used to go climbing quite often, but now I do it occasionally, like once in a few weeks.
Now that I'm 18 and I've got the driver's license the bars and clubs may become the "new hobby" with my friends. Hopefully I start going climbing again. It's something where a car is a must-have.

@Sajin: Check out some Chris Sharma's videos. He's THE badass in climbing.:thup:

I recently decided to give sketching and drawing a go... it's going pretty well so far actually, quite enjoying it too. I recommend giving it a go :thup:

Yeah, it definitely sounds like a really interesting way to kill time, and if I get any skill with it, well, even better, right?

:D

I tried when i was younger, but i dont have the time for this. There are many other things much more important to me right now although i would really really like to be able to draw and sketch on a higher level of skill.

squash is a fun game, just hardly any places still have a squash court.... (or newly built places don't have them -.-")
Yeah? I know there's at least one place somewhere near me. I should give it a go sometime.

    What is up WildTurkey?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    I think I need to split the Sci/Tech news forum into 2 one for Science and one for Tech but I am hating all the moving of posts I would have to do
