Okay so for example:
Playing video games: we got AI shenanigans and cost of computers rising (not just gaming computers but electronics overall), its possible that in 2030, nobody could afford a computer so the one you got could be the last one you ever have (lets hope not, but like its not impossible)
…
I do wonder tho: What hobby is actually shielded from turbulent times.
Years ago I started gardening. Small stuff like herbs that I could use on my food like basil and rosemary (pro tip, it’s difficult to kill rosemary and it looks nice). I adopted a dog and she keeps me away from the PC by needing some walks and sniffs. I get in a good 2-3 miles a day even as she ages.
I stopped reading books years ago and got sucked into the “inner world” of the internet and gaming. I’m now pulling myself back out of that and trying to do more in the “outer world”. Dungeon Crawler Carl is a great starting point to pull out of gaming so much. I’m also writing short stories, even if I don’t intend on ever publishing.
Cooking shows on YouTube are pretty great. I’m learning how to cook better and not relying on frozen pizzas or premade meals as much. Shout out to Chef John from foodwishes.com. Your short videos are a reason I’m eating healthier (arguably).
tl;dr Hobbies can be anything. You just have to put time and effort into it.
God dammit Donut! (What do you write about?)
