Do you have any particularly passionate hobby or interest in anything? Not something like "I like strawberries" or "I watch movies a lot", but something that is truly passionate and has become a completely integral part of your life. Almost like an obsession. Do they influence your life and in what direction?

I love trains, especially Steam Locomotives, have done since being a kid. I love them enough in that I want to try plan vacations to places that have some, or lots of railway heritage at least (although my country usually has a lot more than where I'm visiting). Last year I visited the Isle of Man primarily to ride on trains there and I'm doing similar to the Isle of Wight in a few day's time actually 😅

Dinosaurs too I absolutely love. I think their more of a comfort item to me, as they remind me of the happiest time of my life. If I see a cute dinosaur item I always stop to look at it (usually audibly squealing also). If they have some model or animatronic Dinosaurs somewhere, I'll go and see them if I can (we actually have some model ones outside the Aquarium here).
I don't get to see as many real life ones though, as mainland UK is a terrible place to find Dinosaurs, but that's a big reason also why I'm visiting the Isle of Wight, as it's the best place in the UK for Dinosaurs and they have 2 dedicated Dinosaur museums that I hope to also visit on my holiday.

I am obssessed with uploading anime files. Nothing suspicious about that, I suppose. I watch anime. And I also upload anime.

I wish. I don't know if "consuming media" counts as a hobby or passion.

I don't have hobbies, I just sit on discord all day. The only exception is when I stuff my pie hole with food.

Manga. I read a fuckton.

Then I got a lot of smaller hobbies. Ones of note are micro electronics to fix old controllers and shit. 3D-printing to make all kinds of projects, I want to do more stuff that involve electronics like custom Clone Hero controllers at some point. And a modified case for my PS5.

Also I do little woodworking and sewing when needed. Less projects, more fixing or making something custom.

Oh and I wanna make a few little RPG games so that I can make a gift at some point to my spouse.

I'm a tinkerer of sorts. That's kinda like an integral part to me at this point in life.

Btw did you know there are cybercriminals uploading real pornography for a living? Does that sound believeable? There are pornography rings on the Internet, where people are trafficking porn for profits.

Making cocktails and doing the whole coffeehouse barista thing.

I was the bartender at a makeshift bar at a social event during the very last semester for my degree and also got my barista certification long time ago.

Strange that I don't even drink coffee that much, but I pull very good espresso.

I could say anime and super-hero but i know i wouldn't be as passionate by anime as i am without super heroes , because my first manga/anime was my hero academia that i've started because it talked about super hero.

I am super passionate about making prop/cosplay weapons primarily ones from One Piece. It's just so cool to try and replicate things like Whitebeard's naginata or Shanks sword irl.

Outside of that I would say collecting dinosaur fossils. They are so cool and I have a room for it now!

I enjoy playing guitar and collecting gear. It is such a feeling to pick it up and literally play anything you want. Create something yourself or play learn something you have heard. Also it nice to meet fellow players and hear about where it has taken them. Photography is also fun at times. Getting to capture moments in time visualised in your own way. I haven't done much of it recently though because I haven't been anywhere note worthy but maybe towards the end of the year.

Collecting stickers. I have 8 binders full of them, and they're going to continue growing. Believe me, I spend hundreds on buying stickers ;v; It's certainly not a cheap hobby.

To sit down and organize my stickers by categories and admiring all that I have accumulated is such a therapeutic time for me.

I have a hobby that I'm extremely passionate about, which is collecting. I love gathering natural treasures, such as insects, small bones, teeth, and stones. I rarely collect larger items because they're more difficult to preserve. I also collect digital files, including documents, web pages, audio, images, and videos. I choose only the ones I like and that meet my quality standards, and some of them are rare and unarchived. I do all this simply because I enjoy admiring what I've collected.

My hobby lineup is full on anime arc with sports montages, sneaker lore, and culinary side quests. And the fact that I'm unemployed helps me channeling my time and energy into these passions while navigating NEET life.
I regularly play Basketball & Soccer:
I'm the depth-perceptive shooter who nails 3s.
I also collect Budget Sneakers on sale
I'm the Lace Lord of the thrift realm, finding deals and customizing them with lace swap.

I've a Wrist Watch Collection too
You’re a timekeeper of nostalgia. Each watch is a story to tell. Like One of my Casio was only 30 dollars but it was worn by ryosuke yamada playing kindaichi in the live-action series.
I also have a Casio telememo worn by Fox Mulder in the pilot epidose X-Files.
Yea cheap watches with history
I also love Cooking dishes I see in anime or movies and try to make them from YouTube Recipes..

Aggregating, processing and publicizing information.

Everything you do has an influence on your life, even if it is just the opportunity cost. It's hard to say what the influence is, though.
Due to progress in tech it ended up a hobby that is pretty much exclusively done with a computer that doesn't even really require you to go outside anymore.

That part is both very convenient and also a bit unfortunate.


Another hobby I became fairly passionate about is surfing on a balance board that is put on top of a wooden sphere. Started doing it to combat my sedentary lifestyle, so now whenever I read a novel I do it while standing on my balance board. Which ends up being hours every day.

I'd say fragrance, bought most of the designer fragrances, unfortunately some were discontinued and the prices on ebay skyrocketed to the point that it wasn't worth it. Still exploring, currently looking into fragrance clones from the middle east. I suppose it's an integral part of my life since I wear fragrances depending on the occasion & mood...work, club, dinner, seasonals (Spring, Summer etc)

TLDR; I love smelling good.

I have tons of hobbies, but not what I would call obsessive…I’d say.

I have too much difficulty focusing and feel too dead emotionally to really be into anything as much as id like. I spend a lot of my time researching things for other people.

Crime used to fascinate me. However, as I've gained experience, similar or resemble things no longer surprised. After all, wise men advise that too much of anything is bad.

In terms of impacts, I am obliged to live a healthy lifestyle, be sensitive to the environment, learn a lot about the science related to crime, and equip myself with self-defense.

Since last year and this year, I decided to embrace some more intellectual hobbies?

Got into reading a few years ago back when I was unemployed as I wanted to use the time for something. Used to read 2 books a month but now only 1 since I work full time

Randomly got into learning and playing Chess, this simple Human Era game is pleasing to me? It's nothing too big, just 15-20 minutes a day between apps and free lessons. I ordered a Chess Robot to come later this year so can't wait for that?

Also entered the low key hobby of competitive typing, Type Racer is a little time killer since I spend most of my time on media stuff


Before the new hobbies I learned, I also happen to be a Foodie of sorts. I became a Yelp Elite member several years ago enjoying the free events every month? If life gets tough, enjoy good quality food

Studying history and human anatomy. I can never get enough of it. Those have very practical knowledge too which is never a bad thing. I wouldn't say obsession but D&D is fun. I play it every week and I hang out in the online communities for the game as well.
Go read Berserk and One Piece they're the best thing ever
