Hello there, as you might already know, I’m new to this community, I arrived to this site over several coincidences, but that’s not the point of this post.

I am asking you here, what you guys and girls use to entreating yourselves in your spare time, something like games, puzzles a activities of those sorts. I’m writing this question to you because I'm on a search for a productive, full filing and entertaining activity, and maybe if possible know more people while opening myself to more horizons or perspectives of life.

That being all to it, cya later

I've got quite a few hobbies myself. My two main ones that I do pretty much daily, to varying degrees, include exploring and listening to classical music (I'm honestly pretty obsessed with it lol), and playing video games. These don't necessarily require much time commitment and are always available, so they're easy to do when you've only got say, an hour or so to spare. When I have a bit more time such as on the weekends, I absolutely love to go hiking and kayaking. I couldn't think of a more relaxing and perfect day than to go hiking in the morning, have a nice picnic, and go kayaking in the afternoon! I've been getting in to photography as well since when I go out hiking I often see so many cool things that I always want to take pictures of lol.

I keep revisiting old games from the 80's and 90's.
Other than that it's books now. Tried to reduce the amount of "online" stuff I do in the week :) can you believe we used to enjoy games offline without multiplayer and add on packs? Hehe

I guess I've had more or less a sort of set amount of "special interests" for most of my life, though some longer than others. First was drawing, specifically cartoons or comics and later on video game stuff. Later came reading with Harry Potter, Stephen King, and some other stuff, and by extension wanting to write my own fanfics and then original stories. Video games have been a huge hobby since my brother and I started back on the SNES with Super Mario World, and my interest in them has only grown and have never waned. I even started to try to learn to make my own with Game Maker 5 off and on for maybe a decade now(now on version 8 and registered).

Lately I've become a youtube partner. I was already uploading walkthroughs and Let's Plays for a while now, but I've got more incentive what with the promise of potential money to be earned, so that's motivating. I listen to a lot of people but NintendoCaprisun has been the most entertaining and inspiring to me so far as LP's go.

Yeah. Love games from the 80's and 90's. Those games were my childhood. Until Goldeneye, the only multiplayer we had was with a close friend or sibling as the second player.
