Mine is playing AOE2 in easiest (or standard if I want a bit of challenge) mode against 3 bots. I just build my economy, wall up (and laugh at the enemy soldiers attacking my walls in vain), reach imperial age and attack once my army reaches the population limit. I also send 104 in the chat so they don’t surrender and I can enjoy razing their all buildings one by one. If any of them builds a castle, even more fun. A build a trebuchet and watch it raze the castle from a safe distance. If there is sea, after I am done with the land, I build 3 docks, do research and build a navy and hunt down ships around the unxplored sea. It is fun, satisfying and relaxing.

What is yours?

      … okay so first, the word produce has like 600 definitions, so start there.

      Playing music takes me away from reality and my thoughts a fuck ton more than producing ever will.

      It is far more productive in terms of stabilizing mental health.

      What the fuck did you think I was “producing” on hikes?

        To be fair I’d argue hikes are productive for the beneficial health effects. I know they’d be good for me for sure. With that said, very similar list, just add 3D to the mix lower on the list and the photo/video is my job so not really hobby nor relaxing.

          Haha I excluded web development for the reason you’d exclude photo video editing. And also network adminning even though I do have a little self hosted media server setup

          Hikes are good for the body and the mind 🙂
