There are some interesting meetups in my area too that I try to attend now and then. One really cool one is a nonprofit organization devoted to helping local people make their own video games. They rent out space in a warehouse and do lectures and game nights. I went to a Meetup on making video game music there that was really interesting.
I used to like movies and theatre shows more but they have really lost their appeal to me probably because I don’t like to sit for really long times.

I really like knitting/crocheting. I’m not very good at it but its about the only thing I can handle when I’m unwell. It’s also something that’s very hard to be delusional about, so thats a plus

My hobby right now is straight up the internet. Social media, netflix, news, youtube, I can’t seem to concentrate on podcasts. I like nature too especially the ravine by my apartment I like when no one else is in the ravine and I’m alone on summer afternoons

Computer games are pretty consistent. One of the few things to hold my attention for a period of time.
My hobbies change a bit and always looking for something to do. Recently got back into building plastic vehicle kits. So have a couple I’ve finished that need painting and another couple that need building and painting. Passes the time and it’s pretty cool I think and takes some skills.

Where do you folks walk? Around the block? In the park? I do both.

I walk around the neighbourhood. It’s not too bad and I have a couple of set walks based on distance. My usual one is just over a kilometer and has a set of steps. I do my daily step limit and usually jog the first lap to get all my exercise in.
It’s covers a street with a major walking park so that is cool. Usually someone around most times of the day and that makes it pretty safe!
