Web dev in React and game dev with Unity. I used to spend so much time building projects but AI drained my interest out of it. I still wish I had the same passion but things are not the same. Tried Godot but the way it does things didn’t click for me.

Learning the Vietnamese language and tie dying clothes.

Beyond All Reason

I was late to the RTS scene though I do enjoy them. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to play these days. I do still watch the occasional match on YouTube especially if I happen to catch a live tournament.

Despite my better judgement, World of Warcraft and Blizzard in general. I know Blizzard isn’t Blizzard anymore, and they are constantly releasing patches that have clearly ignored bug reports (for example they had a content patch that included a “hide and seek mode”. Hunters were able to use their ‘track humanoids’ ability during it, and hiding players would get disqualified for “being idle”. These issues where reported by people playing on the beta test servers yet somehow still made it into production) and sound like they are having AI make decisions for them. But I still read articles about what they’re upto next out of some bizarre curiosity that stops me from looking away from the train wrek.

Skateboarding. I’m old now but seeing street/park/ramp skaters (sorry longboarders and electric skateboard-esque enthusiasts) now still gets me stoked.

I was a skater growing up and probably how most who knew me would describe me even though I was also into snowboarding, mountain biking, and punk music.

I lost a lot of my crew when dating became more of their thing in HS, then all of my crew when we went different ways after HS. I tried to stick with it in college but got frustrated with losing a lot of the progress I’d made and always skating alone. I got back into it briefly in my 30s when a couple guys at work expressed interest in hitting up a nearby skatepark over lunches. I could actually do a few things but only at a fraction of my former ability but I went easier on myself and acknowledged that a lot of time had passed since I could do cool stuff consistently. That job and those guys are gone now and I’ve moved. I’ve still got the deck in my garage but it’s been at least 15 years since I’ve skated. I’ll watch an old 411 or see a kid trying to ollie in the neighborhood and that brings me joy (and some sadness)

I’m not as passionate about Star Wars since Rise of Skywalker, but I still watch every new series

I don’t play and am not interesting in playing Rocket League anymore; but I still watch an occasional pro match.

I do little to no woodworking, but I enjoy watching woodworking videos.

I used to keep up with distance running and ultimate frisbee, but after having kids didn’t have time to stay competitive. I’ll still run solo, or play an occasional pickup game, but not doing it regularly makes me a little depressed that my skill level and physical condition aren’t what they once were. 😓

Not necessarily lost interest but refusing to play so myself. League Of Legends. I used to play it all day, every day and whenever I could.

But at some point, I did not enjoy it anymore. I uninstalled everything and gradually quit watching Twitch streams of it. Now I just watch a Twitch stream from time to time and then a long while not etc.

unoftunately I don’t bike as much as I geek about biking now. table top rpg. regulary look at pf2 things. was that way with my mmos but got back into them. well the one for now.

I go through the WOW wiki like once a year or so to catch up on what’s going on with the lore.

Djing for me. I have a controller and some decent speakers that I almost never use but I still collect music into playlists as if I were still active and watch the reviews on all the latest innovations and new hardware.

Used to be big into assembling PCs when I was a kid. Haven’t done so in ages, but still keep an eye on the latest hardware.

Warhammer 40,000 for me. I haven’t painted or purchased a model in decades but I still love looking at the new releases. I still play the video games here and there though
