My kid took me and the wife to a boldering centre for the first time this week, to try it out. Lots of fun, will go again with her quite soon I guess.

Working on a game.
My daughter is fascinated with my computer, but there isn't much out there that is appropriate for a 3-year-old, and interesting for adults. So I'm gonna see if I can make something that is.
Sounds like a nice goal! What exactly do you plan the game to be?
Think of a cross between a brawl-type game and a pinball machine. Competitive, but low-stakes, with lots of visual feedback, relatively simple controls, but with the possibility of developing some skill.
I myself have taken up two new things:
- This past weekend, I tried my hand at JavaScript. I ended up making a helpful userscript for Kbin, and I'm working on adding some features like settings.
- Since Geometry Dash 2.2 released, I've been playing around with the game's level editor. Currently working on my first level, and I'm pretty happy with how it's going so far.
Water picking/water flossing my teeth.
Dedicated myself to 1 game of each category that I will play until completion, then move that categories game to a different game, greatly reducing choice paralysis and increasing my game time.
Idk if mine is weird or cool or just sappy... I've had a service dog for 9 years. He turns 10 in a few days and I'm not coping well with the fact that he's aging. Time has flown and it'll never feel like enough.
One of my friends makes incredible needlefelt art. For example this is a Pabu from Legend of Korra that she made for me. When I'm brushing my dog, I've been collecting his shed fur; that way, when he passes, I can have a needlefelt statue made of him. He's a malamute, so there's PLENTY of fur.
Cherish every moment you get with your pets... it feels like you blink and years have passed.
He looks like quite possibly the goodest boy
He really is. I got him from a shelter and he figured out how to detect my seizures on his own. I like to think that we rescued each other. 😊
Making little figures out of clay
I've spent quite a bit of time watching Godot tutorials now that Unity has shown they are a dead end. I'm much happier to support FOSS anyway.
Sounds fun. I've messed around with Godot a bit myself, though I unfortunately don't have the work ethic to make a full game out of it. Great to see more people using the FOSS option!
I used Health Sync to pull some of my fitness data from Google Fit to Fitbit and got it to display on my MagicMirror. I then forked the relevant module so that I can try to edit it myself and show more data from a spreadsheet.
The idea is to have a display that shows me my calorie goals, how many calories and water I've taken in, my steps, and my blood sugars among others.
I'm hoping that it will help me to stay on track with keeping my fitness and diabetes in control, and help me to learn JavaScript and Python while I'm doing it :)
Sweet. I've found that trying to make solutions to problems is always a great way to learn more about a programming language or to introduce yourself to a new one. I imagine you'll definitely learn a lot from this (alongside the more important achievement of making something you can use to maintain your health).

Will 2 years suffice?
Last summer I bought a mountain bike and have started cycling 3-7 times a week again including all intercity commutes. It's been over half a decade since I stopped daily cycling, a dear hobby of mine from teenage and early adult years.
