Favorites, ugh. I always have a hard time listing these.
Okay, my hobbies and some favorites that I can actually think of currently:
1. Video games
Favorites for different consoles/systems
NES: Super Mario Bros (original), Metroid, most of the black box releases
SNES: Super Mario World, Illusion of Gaia
Atari 2600: Dig Dug, Congo Bongo, Demon Attack, Enduro, too many others
DOS: Kroz series, ZZT, Round 42, Flightmare. Nobody has any idea what I'm talking about.
Arcade: Juno First, Solar Fox, Jungle Hunt, Robotron 2084, Elevator action, Tron when I can get it to freaking work, far too many others, I have every rom ever
PC: Binding of Isaac, Hyperrogue, Streets of Rogue
2. Virtual Reality, Oculus Rift
New Retro Arcade Neon. It's what got me into VR and the reason why I ended up with a $4500 PC. Recreates an entire 80s style retro arcade, full cabinets with attract modes and everything. Has a bowling alley and movie theater also for some reason, and stuff like Whack-a-Mole or that funky punching bag thing. I use it frequently. It is amazing. When someone is trying out VR for the first time, this is one of the first programs I show to them, and it's the one that blows their mind.
It's basically that, in full VR, with extreme detail... a 2D screenshot cant show what it REALLY looks like. And all of those machines are active and fully playable, just like in a real arcade. Can set up any games I want in there. With every arcade rom ever, stored on every PC I own, there's.... alot of choices.
EmuVR: If you cant tell, I'm a fan of retro games. This one is like New Retro, except instead of being about arcades, it's about old console games. Recreates a bedroom from back in the 80s/90s, complete with CRTs and everything. Extreme graphical detail. You could set up 15 seperate TVs, hook up consoles to them (could be anything from the 2600 to the PS2, whatever) and run games on every one, all at once, if you want. It has so much potential, I love it.
3. Board games
I havent been into this hobby all that long yet, but I still have a few favorites: Aeon's End, Hostage Negotiator, Nemo's War, Zombicide, Mage Knight, Renegade. I just wish that Zombicide and Mage Knight didnt take bloody forever to set up. And yes, I'm a solo player. Yes, it's possible to play board games pure solo. For co-op games like Zombicide, you just play multiple characters at once. And some games, like Hostage Negotiator, are designed for solo-only to begin with. The one thing solo players cant do is play competitive games, obviously. Honestly I was amazed by the whole thing when I found the hobby... there's an entire giant community of people that play these solo. So much cool stuff!
4. Youtube
Favorite channels: Markiplier, Jim Sterling, Dorkly, Deceased Crab, One F Jef
Favorite series: Dont Hug Me I'm Scared, Salad Fingers
5. Books
Ye gods it'd take me forever to decide on favorites. These things are all over my room. But it's one of my interests nonetheless.
