"hobby" is one of those words that has an actual definition, but for some reason millennials think they can redefine it to fit their misinformed perceptions.

no

yes

"millennial" is one of those words that has an actual definition, but for some reason idiots think they can redefine it to fit their misinformed perceptions.

Knitting is a hobby. Watching TV is not.

Please give us that actual definition user

its not an activity its a distraction. watching tv isn't a hobby.. playing video games isn't a hobby.

Fapping to and fantasizing about cash me ousside girl is a hobby, vidya is not.

...

Usually a hobby implies some sort of self improvement or the ability to create something.

Consuming media is not a hobby, yes that includes watching TV.

This just isn't true.

>Usually a hobby implies some sort of self improvement or the ability to create something.
According to who?

Just say OK and walk away, there's no getting through to those people.

And quit giving a fuck what people say about what you like to do.

>go to job interview
>they ask me what my hobbies are
>have to make things up because I can't say playing vidya and jerking off

not him, but

>Merriam-Webster
a pursuit outside one's regular occupation engaged in especially for relaxation

>Cambridge Dictionary
an activity that someone does for pleasure when they are not working

so hobby can be literally staring at the wall, if that's your thing

I regularly do ponies in my spare time for leisure, my hobby is doing hobbies

What do you think a millennial is?

In other words, playing video games

Is
Normal people

Prove him wrong

Pack it up boys, vidya is a hobby
/thread

That's called work son.

reading novels isn't a hobby then?

what kind of hobbies do employers expect you to have?

>Prove him wrong

No, wait. It says an activity done for pleasure. Pretty sure Sup Forums only plays videogames to get angry.

I aleays say creative writing, history and film

it sound like I'm not some retard who plays vidya and shitposts on 4chin all day and I can actually talk about those topics if they'll ask further

You improve your cognitive skills

Playing vidya is a hobby it's just a bland one like like watching tv or reading books

Just use the word "past-time" There now you faggots can stop bickering over semantics you fucking inglorious bastards.

>it's on google it must be true

so there aren't any games in the entire history of video games that could maybe boost your cognitive skills by even a little?

Something constructive or educational. They want you to have hobbies like painting or building model trains or some shit. Something interesting they can blast out in a company email about their new hire.

Brain age.

Why are you so self conscious about your vidya?

Vidya is a hobby, its just not a creative one, unless you are making vidya. Creative hobbies are always better than tv, vidya, etc

50% of gamers are girls. If playing video games is your hobby, you can meet someone that likes playing them as well.

Minecraft is super creative.

Its from merriam webster.
And you can't argue that the source is "bad" when you don't provide an alternate source yourself.
Retard.

Acceptable hobbies include hiking, biking, baking/cooking, hunting and fishing.

You sound extremely autistic.

You are still creating in the confines of the developers vision.

The developers did not envision being able to create a functioning calculator when they added redstone.

Funny how all the acceptable hobbies are just the shit the last generation did for fun before the internet.

>hunting and fishing
>something your ancestors did just to survive
>a hobby

Yes but anything you create is still using things created on the whim of the devoloper. They take away redstone, they take away your creation.

They probably did actually. They designed redstone to work like logic gates which are the fundamental building blocks of computers. A calculator is a pretty obvious thing to come out of that.

The thing they probably didn't envision is the crazy mob farms and sorting systems. Iron golem farms in particular are nuts.

How is that funny?

he means funny as in strange or notable

don't play dumb

Because it's just old people screaming at the clouds as usual.

transitioning into a "woman"

>hunting and fishing

you might as well ad taxidermy while you're at it

Post more over-developed teens.

Gaming isn't a hobby.

It's a lifestyle.

gaming is a hobby if you spend time outside of playing video games doing video game things. That means reading about software/hardware, development, following game designers, learning game design, getting gud. If you play games just for fun or are done when the console is off then it is not a hobby. But dedicating down time to video games makes it a hobby.

This. Employers just want to hear hobbies like "I read books and am part of a ping pong league!". I always just say I play guitar and spend time with my family and friends. I do all of these things, but I leave out the part where I prefer just to get high/drunk and shitpost on Sup Forums and jerk off.

Also, I go on alot on online dating sites/apps and I'm always amazed at how many women consider watching netflix to be a hobby. I guess for women on these dating sites it really doesn't matter how uninteresting their lives are as men will flood their inboxes regardless.

ackchually it is a hobby even without all that other stuff, albeit a lazy hobby not worth mentioning.

"watching netflix" is a euphemism for casual sex

>Claim that I dabble in programming
>"Oh, my husband is a web developer! What are you working on?"

>I always just say I play guitar and spend time with my family and friends. I do all of these things, but I leave out the part where I prefer just to get high/drunk and shitpost on Sup Forums and jerk off.
I feel like you're my long lost brother.

>not saying shitposting

Hobby denotes creation. Consumption is not creation. Video game creation and modding are hobbies. Playing vidya is not a hobby.

>tell them I program as a hobby
>they ask me what I program
>mfw I make erotic games

we also walk to get nowhere so what

>web developer

hah, nothing to be nervous about.

I guess the takeaway from this is that anything can be a hobby if it's just something you do for fun.

I get the "netflix and chill" thing, but most women will write an entire dissertation of a profile yet when it comes to hobbies, they'll just throw this in like it's a fucking hobby. Binge watching greys anatomy is not a hobby.
I love you too, user.

your logic. pic related

Read
Things don't mean what you want them to just because you can't pick a dictionary.

I guess It depends on the kind of games you play then? Because, you can't say that playing shit like Professor Layton isn't a hobby while reading is considered one.

binge watching or just watching tv shows IS a hobby, just not worth mentioning

Just say point and click video games.

No. You play it for fun? It's a hobby. Simple as that.

stale meme kid. 2/10 for effort.

>it's something
>but something not worth mentioning

ok?

I'd bump that up some points for you getting mad about it enough to respond.

one of those two points was rewarded with a (You). retards need their participation prize after all.

Basically, when you play video-games, you are subtracting your involvement in "real-life" with the effect of immersing yourself in a created universe in which skills learnt there are intended for that place only. Transferring the skills and abilities is a grey area even today.

Granted, with the help of imagination transferable part should be a problem.

Video-games in this sense, are the worst of all hobbies, even in comparison to netflix and shit-posting.

how can videogames be worse than Netflix?

Netflix is a normie activity you can use for bonding. Technically it is more useful.

Change videogames for books or TV and it would be the exact same shit. I still don't get why people only complain about videogames.

What's the other point for? Also, nice >420 get
He's trolling obviously. Shitposting is clearly the most important hobby.

vidya are normie stuff as well and you can bond while pvp/coop or just play together

not to mention literal party stuff like Singstar or Buzz

I hate to break it to you, but videogames is a normie hobby as well. I know you might not get out often, but just about every male plays videogames...even some *gasp* females engage in videogames as long as zelda or pokemon are involved.

>dont really have any other actual hobbies besides vidya
>not even really that good at vidya desu
>tfw being this boring

>funny how all the acceptable hobbies are just the hobbies that middle aged+ people in charge of hiring/management would have

I'm sure reading 50 shades of grey is normie stuff too, but reading golden age sci-fi surely is not. Maybe user enjoys Bemani games or dwarf fortress which is not normie at all.

it is and isn't, i'm sure streamers don't always enjoy what they're playing and just play it for the memes and views it gets.

I'm in marketing and upper management is mostly people in their 30s. If you don't play videogames or watch the latest netflix original, you're considered a weirdo.

I do like that mare pussy from time to time

does you really?

Okay.

Live takes away your hands and suddenly you cant create art anymore. You are also bound by the limits of this reality regardless if someone intentionally created it or if it came by evolution. The complexity does not limit the depth of artistic design within those systems. Look at how mariomaker created completely unthinkable level designs and mechaniks just by repurposing the given tools.

good lord, those are some juicy teen tiddays

>tfw I will never impregnate this underage slut and skip town

What is the purpose of having a dick if I can't do simple shit like this?

That's what happens when you keep drinking hormone-filled stuff.

>tfw you'll never fuck 15yo qt with huge tits

fuck this gay earth

Why not?

i mean if you are still in your 20, you still can.
