Description: A three panel comic often referred to as “No take, only throw.” The first panel is a dog biting a toy with the caption “I want to be good at my hobbies.” The second panel is the dog looking angry and refusing to let go of the toy when a hand reaches out to throw it for the dog again, and it has the caption “No practice.” The third panel is the dog, still angry and refusing to let go of the toy, with the caption “Only good.”

I’d rather just be a master of the craft in my imagination.
As a fisherman, I’ve been told I’m a Master Baiter.
I was a Master Blaster whenever your mom was around.
Fuck I loved that game like you loved my mom.
FYI I only learned within the last month or two that it got a few remakes. They got decent reviews on Steam too… Sorta like…
Sorta like my mom?
But then we can’t see it
thanks dude, glad i got step one down
I feel like, at least in America – and it might be just my part of America – we feel like our hobbies have to make us look better. I can’t just take photos, they have to be really good photos and I should look into selling them. You can’t just like to make cakes, you have to make amazing cakes and do it for friends’ parties. There’s not enough emphasis on just do something you like because it makes you happy. This doesn’t have to be a competition. It doesn’t matter if your shit is abysmal as long as you enjoy doing it. Have fun!
i also feel a lot of peer pressure to be perfect, but this time i was feeling down because i had just restarted after taking a long break and was doing a lot worse than i used to. it’s not as if i can go back to being as good as i was without practicing though, so i just have to keep doing it and laugh a bit to feel better
Oh god, this is a harsh look in the mirror.

I’ve seen it described as humans need some general ideas to feel like life has a point.
I’ve seen it broken down as autonomy (the feeling of driving your own destiny), mastery (the feeling of mastering a subject), and purpose (the feeling that what you’re doing “means something”).
Hobbies often fill the niche of “mastery” despite not improving our lives appreciably outwardly.
Great, my hobby is going to the cinema every week. Doesn’t need any practice, just sit ya ass down and watch.
