      It always surprises me when nobody is interested in learning how things around them work. I have a dozen hobbies that I don’t have time for.

        I have the time but not the energy or motivation to be able to focus on any of them for more than 3 minutes. Help…

        Right? I think this to myself all the time. I mean I know it’s not nobody but it sure seems like it is the vast majority.

        And yes, I too have too many hobbies and not enough time. I really hope I live long enough to retire and have time for some of it lol

          Have you ever thought about sailing? That’s my latest. Bought a boat last year after binging boat life videos and I’ve already sailed 5 hours in the last 10 months. <_<

          It’s fun though.

            I like the idea of exploring different sea ports. Right now, though, I am keeping an eye out for a cheap canoe (etc) so my kid and I can actually catch some fish for once. In a lake I mean.

        It’s why I never made it to ensure game content on any of the MMOs I played. I’d rather just reroll a new class.

          I don’t have trouble with mmo’s usually. But just last year i realised that i don’t know how to play these city building games.
          When i was 12 or so my mom bought me anno 1600 or what it was called. It was like meh, i was hoping for quake. I played that game for almost 3 days straight. I absolutely loved it and kept playing.
          Last year i asked my friend if he wanted to play the new anno with me. Never played coop, sounds fun. After 2 hours i realised for the first time that usually i just start over at this point. My cities are never sustainable and i just play until it all ges to shit, and starting over is easier than fixing your shit city.
          But with him now, i just had to keep going. It was a huge mess.
