Mostly video games, but some other stuff here and there. A long while ago, I worked my way up to become a chef until I had a boss who sucked to the point that I left the entire industry. After a couple of years, I came to enjoy cooking at home again, so that's become a sort of functional hobby. I also used to be crazy about music, but I stopped having the time, energy, and access I used to so that really slipped away. But I just cleaned up my space and moved things around to make it easier for me to be motivated to pick up a guitar, so I'll do that once I have more than 12 hours off work lol. My wife and I paint together once in a while too. Of course, also movies, TV, and YouTube videos, but I'm trying to reduce passive entertainment a bit. That stuff kinda just makes me existentially conscious of the fact that my time here is limited and I'm pissing it away on shit I'm not even really gonna remember in 24 hours. I'd rather create, even if it's not something I'm interested in sharing.
