Some hobbies are widely shared and recognized as going with the culture:
|
|
|
|
|
science fiction, music, medievalism (in the active form practiced by the
|
|
|
|
|
Society for Creative Anachronism and similar organizations), chess, go,
|
|
|
|
|
backgammon, wargames, and intellectual games of all kinds. (Role-playing
|
|
|
|
|
games such as Dungeons and Dragons used to be extremely popular among
|
|
|
|
|
hackers but they lost a bit of their luster as they moved into the
|
|
|
|
|
mainstream and became heavily commercialized. More recently, Magic: The
|
|
|
|
|
Gathering has been widely popular among hackers.) Logic puzzles. Ham radio.
|

|
|
Other interests that seem to correlate less strongly but positively with
|
|
|
|
|
hackerdom include linguistics and theater teching.
