I know that this is a place for collectionners and hardcore gamers but i was wondering if you all had other interests or activities besides video games ? I mean, most people here probably are working or studying at school.

Mine are History, Languages and most of all Gaming evolution/secrets, i used to love computer science but i guess interests change with time.
I also love editing and i watch a lot of youtube videos about a plethora of subjects.

But i won't judge what your hobbies are even if it's something like collecting dwarfs figures.

At this point, aside from video games and then the standard relaxation like reading/writing/etc., it isn't much do to work. I would develop software tools to do small things for me when doing research, or make fun little games. But since I develop software in my day to day, I don't always have the drive to do stuff like that after work

i do think that reading at least 15 minutes per day can be comfortable for your mind even if it's just a comic/manga it still is worth it as you don't spend time on your screen which helps to get to sleep.
writing and coding are also interesting i used to code a while but it's no longer my interest so i moved on to more litteral subjects and this is how i learnt english as it was easier for a french speaker to learn this language.

I'm a big reader these days, specifically audiobooks. Used to read a lot in middle school, but got knocked out of it until I was wrapping up college. Now I try to make sure I read at least a book a month (which is still pretty slow tbh), but I do love it. I just started the Brandon Sanderson Cosmere universe which I'm loving. I finally have a place that I can grow some plants too! I'm interested in learning something physical, like martial arts, but I think I need to get into better shape first.

Can't say I'm into reading unfortunately, a lot of my other hobbies are relatively adjacent to games. I like to collect movies/shows, from 4K to DVD depending on what the best format is for the respective title. I also listen to a ton of music, almost entirely from games or movies. I'd like to collect music but unfortunately most games don't get soundtrack releases. I collect plushes of various characters, mostly Mario. Also into general tech, recording stuff, politics, and going for walks, Besides all of that, I do watch way too much YouTube as well.

Other than video games, I am also interested in comics, watching YouTube, traveling, watching movies and TV programs like Outer Limits, Star Trek, and Twilight Zone, and doing jigsaw puzzles.

My biggest interest besides video games is Dungeons & Dragons. I'm a DM and I enjoy preparing and running campaigns for my friends. Outside of that, I like to read and write, draw, and watch anime and movies. I also like to collect things - not dwarf figures, sadly, but mainly dice and books these days. I have old collections that I don't add to anymore, like crystals, but they're nice to have around still. It's been hard to keep up with my hobbies lately, but I do try.

I’m an avid reader, particularly fantasy and horror books. Saying that, my favourite games are usually in a fantasy setting but I rarely play horror because I’m such a wimp! I like anime and manga, too. I record what I read and watch on Good Reads and My Anime List just like Completionator.

I also enjoy sewing and make little plushies and gifts for friends and family. I suppose you could also say I have an interest in languages since I’m learning Japanese but I teach English so language is a both an interest and profession.
