    You have to enjoy a hobby in itself, if you’re too focused on results then you’ll have problems with the gulf between your ability and your aspiration. Is there anything you’ve tried doing that you just enjoy doing? Like do you just enjoy banging on a piano or drawing or writing, regardless of the output?

        If you’re into tech and D&D, what about 3d printing? It’s techy, ties into D&D (printing minis, map elements, etc), and you can get into it for relatively cheap. A cheap resin 3d printer is like $200. You can use a water-washable resin to skip the harsh chemicals, and you can cure it in the sun, skipping a cure station. I have an Anycubic Phonto Mono, which was like $200, and prints some GORGEOUS minis.

        As you get deeper and more involved, you can upgrade to a wash & cure station, bigger printers, different resins, etc. You can start by printing other people’s designs, then as you learn more, start making and printing your own designs.
