What are your hobbies? Genuinely trying to find something new for myself.

Right now my free time mostly goes into watching series and checking trades, and I want to add something that actually feels productive or fulfilling instead of just passing time.

Curious what you’re into, and honestly, why you got into it in the first place. Doesn’t need to be impressive or unique, just real.

    Been playing video games pretty much all my life. Like with all forms of popular entertainment, there are so many genres that I’m sure there’s something out there for you. If you want, I can offer some suggestions based on what devices you own and what you’re interested in.

    Other than that, learning to cook new recipes is always fun and pretty much essential to live haha. I’ve tried a few Ina Garten recipes and they’ve been relatively easy and tasty.

        Since you’re using a laptop, I’d recommend some less demanding games. To check if your laptop can run specific games, use this site here. Below are a list of some I think you should be able to play:

        • Stardew Valley: one of my absolutely favorite games ever. There’s so much to do and you play however you want. There are also a ton of mods for quality of life improvements, graphic changes, and expansions
        • Portal 1 and 2: super fun puzzle games with a great story and memorable characters
        • Skyrim: there’s a reason this game has become such a meme and had been released on every system for the past like 15 years
        • Fallout New Vegas: this might be optimistic to run but it’s a great first person role playing game set in a post nuclear war apocalypse
        • Terraria: like a 2D Minecraft that has a simpler crafting system and more boss fights. I actually prefer this to Minecraft
        • Celeste: fun and challenging platformer. You will die a lot but the revives are so quick and the controls so smooth it isn’t too frustrating when you need to start over
        • Balatro: card game where you make poker hands to attack your opponent
        • Slay the Spire: another card deck building game but you use your cards to take turns attacking your enemies

        There are some online games you could play too, but for beginners I would avoid them since the communities can be toxic. However, if you don’t mind, you can try out League of Legends (will run on a potato), Rocket League, or CS GO.

        There are also emulators you can download to play old-school games like classic Pokémon or Mario. There are too many of those to list and it’s a lot more complicated to download and install. So I would recommend checking out videos on how to do that and what games/emulators people recommend.

          Cs:go was one of the first online games, even if you can’t play competitive, you’ll probably have fun in the community servers play Surf maps or hide and seek or something
