Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.
Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.
Which AI generated slop are you?
My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.
I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.
Le sigh. Grad school
None of the above?
Strength training and returned to a hobby of my younger years - cars.
E: wouldn’t even call it a midlife crisis. Just finally having a little time to have a hobby and understanding that being healthy will extend what quality years I have left.
Where is the drinking and BBQing one?
I'm only 33, a bit young for midlife crisis, but I've gotten into ham radio. I think it's probably the most I've spent on a hobby. Even budget radios that can communicate over the horizon are pretty pricey.
Edit: The most I've spent on a hobby to get started on a hobby, that is. I've definitely sank much more money into video games and when I played it Magic the Gathering.
I started collecting Lego again.
... and running.
Fuck, right as I got back into manga and anime...
But it's mostly rock climbing really.
I feel like I'm doing the midlife crisis thing wrong. I'm factionless atm. I'm also too tired to have a crisis. My time is spent going to work and trying to survive in a field that is increasingly difficult to survive in.
I'm jealous some people have time and energy to have a full on crisis on the side. You lucky, lucky bastards.
Well I'm forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don't hate listening to my own screams.
So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that's mine.
Music 🎼🎵🎶
More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else 🥁🎹🎸🎷🎺🎻🪗🪘🎛️
Bonus points for "getting back to", as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life felt brighter.
Synthesizer and gym habit. The former for fun, and the latter out of necessity.
these are all horrible. where is cosplay at 48?
My closest one would be running. I started doing 5 minutes a day on an old exercise bike where the computer and thus the resistance motor didn't work in september, gradually adding more time as I got into better shape.
It was when I got a new one that actually works in mid January that I REALLY got going, though, and I've put in 90 hours for a total of 3813 km (2369 miles) since then.
For context, that's more than the straight line distance between Washington DC and Los Angeles or almost the distance between London, England and Gao, Mali.
As far as mid life crises go, that along with eating a lot better ain't so bad 😁
As a elder millennial, I am slotted heavily into the running category. Everyday!
none, just neutrally observing my fastly declining physical recovery rates and wondering if it will be in the negatives 20 years later
Japan?? Ummm, wut? Damnit... I'm still going.
Fuck. Running.
Okay I'll bite
What is pickle ball? Is it like Calvin ball? Also, whoever finishes reading this comment will forget they were ever gay.
Did I speedrun a midlife crisis in my 20s? 🤔 Never did pickleball, but that's pretty synonymous with retirees over 60 in my corner of the world.
Running
3/4 for me.
Just finished my second 1/2 marathon, got a masters last year and trying to go to Japan this fall
The two that don't involve me having to do any physical exercise ofcourse
None, more modelmaking, hiking and reading.
Me who just went back for their PhD
Miniatures wargaming and lifting over here. Also got divorced, which was good.
I will come back to this post in 20-25 years time.
