    Well, my current hobby is working on a set of custom Mandalorian armour.

    Now, not only does this include things like sewing, leather working, and in some cases metalworking, as well as painting, it also includes, and is almost, from a time perspective dominated by sanding.

    If you ever end up looking into costuming and prop making as a hobby, what you’re really picking up is a sanding hobby.

        Most of my current run of hard costume parts and props are 3D printed. You still need to fill the print lines and sand to get a good looking prop.

        Additionally my eventual goal is to have zero 3D printed parts because I want it to be “better than screen accurate”, to have the costume really be made out of metal and wood and the like.

    I found sailing to be terrifically boring. It’s expensive. It’s slow compared to powered. The mechanics aren’t that interesting once you have the basics down.

    Maybe someday I’ll try a type of sailboat intended more for speed/racing. Big boats are just a step above sitting on the beach getting sunburned and drunk.

    Roleplaying. Everyone has a “reason” they roleplay and it becomes a tug of war regarding a roleplay’s purpose because they almost never mix their intended themes well even if the two things fit together good.

    Example: Person A wants to roleplay so they can get a good visual on how a bank robbery scene for their book would play out. Person B wants to roleplay because they have it out for Borrower-sized people. Every time Person A tries to get the subject to change to how a bank robbery might play out, Person B is trying to insert random Minish Cap sized people revealing themselves to be in the bank, and vice versa.

    Don’t tell this to the people I roleplay with, but it’s a darn chore.
