What is your current passion? (self.general)

What are you currently passionate about it interested in? What are some cool things about that thing, or interesting stuff that you've learned?

To start things off, I've recently gotten back into Legos for the first time since I was a child and dragged my SO in with me. We've been building sets together, posing them, and decorating my apartment with some of them like the autumn center piece and bonsai tree. I'm also starting to show them how you can mix things together or go off script, changing and customizing a set to fit your own needs or tastes. It's been really fun and I'd recommend it if you are looking for something to do with someone else.

I've also gotten into professional wrestling for the first time and been having a blast. My SO used to watch WWE/WWF as a kid and I asked them to watch a pay per view with me and it was like they got ripped back in time, getting super hype and cheering on the people they wanted to win. We've now started watching AEW and it's been really fun when they point out the people that they recognize from when they were a kid and what they think of them.

I'm big into hobby game development at the minute, got into it during the pandemic because I'd been wondering how video games work since I was about 4 years old, and it turns out it's quite complicated! But I spent a couple of years dipping a toe in here and there, learning one of the big popular engines (Unity), and putting out some truly godawful games as game jam entries.

Then after some frustrations with Unity a few weeks back, Mastodon convinced me to give Godot a try instead. So now I'm learning a whole new engine that works in a very different way, but it's going sort of ok considering.

I just love to make stuff, so there's the games but in my other life I'm a craft YouTuber so also obsess over knitting, crochet, cross stitch, sewing, needle felting, air dry clay...you name it I'll probably give it a whirl. Making stuff is the BEST!
