i took up drawing this year and enjoy it a lot, i'm not good at it quite yet but it is cheap to start, fun, you can do it pretty much anywhere, and it's given me a nice confidence boost tbh because i was always convinced it was something i could never do. i like that i'm always learning something new with it too, and progressing in a visible way. i'm not looking at it with the aim of making money though, it's for fun & good for my brain. highly recommend.

MODERATORS
Photography, cryptography, anamorphosis art, regular art, writing, and hiking. Looking for people who also enjoy these.
Drawing, videogames, and swimming.
If you work with your hands, rest with your mind. If you work with your mind, rest with your hands.
There's a lot of crossover here but off the top of the dome:
Hand-based hobbies -playing music -cooking -woodworking -lifting weights, running, climbing -building dioramas/models -art (needle craft, drawing/painting, sculpting) -**casual video games **
Mind-based hobbies -puzzles -fast paced video games -programming -learn a new language
Those in bold are what I do. Also starting to learn art. It's one of the lowest barrier to entry hobbies. All you need is paper and a pencil.
Fighting games and Riichi Mahjong.
There's usually a local event for at least one of the games I play every month or so. I travel out to Combo Breaker every year for the big major as well.
For Riichi Mahjong, the local club here meets every week. Haven't had the chance to attend a big tournament yet, but I'm hoping I can fit one into my travel budget at some point.
My hobby is reminiscing about the days when I had time for hobbies.
