So, there are some things that most people do, playing games, watching movies or television, playing music. So let's get specific.

What are some of your favorite things to do with your time? The more hyper specific the better?

Quite a few, actually

Artisan Keycap collecting, to a lesser degree mechanical keyboards (I usually use them as displays to showcase my artisans)
Boardgame collecting and playing. I'm a big fan of modern area control games. Also trying to design some. Slowly.
I curate a magic the gathering commander cube. Hopefully mtgcube gets a community somewhere around here
Reading, lots of fantasy there.
EDM shows and festivals, recently. Probably have been going to too many, but I always jump in with both feet

Ohhhh, the keyboard thing sounds neat. I know some of my friends really love mechnical keyboards, but I haven't see a lot of cutstom keycaps.

Got any favorites you'd like to show off?

My Grail Board - Happy Hacker Keyboard 2 modded with Norbauer Heavy Grail VHS, with Brocaps Gamer set and Mitchcap modifier keys. The top row left are original clack factory multishot clack skulls, and on the top right are kbk/kwk (killed by keycaps) vandals and mummies.

OG Kyuu - OG Kyuu keyboard with GMK Bleached keycaps, brocaps gamer set, and various artisans on the top row
