Post by Michael »

Recently I've started watching old movies and I'm really enjoying myself.

I've also been getting in to retro pocket gaming devices. They have DIY aspect to them that I enjoy. Example:

I picked up Magic The Gathering Arena. A friend tried teaching me about 30 years ago, but it didn’t click then. I enjoy being able to put together a competitive deck without having to spend much money (and you don’t have to at all if you don’t want to)

I've gotten very into working exceedingly long hours and taking care of a puppy that could not give less of a [expletive] about us.

Last year I did a complete overhaul of a 70’s era shuffle alley (bowling) arcade game. But we hardly ever play it because it drives the dogs nuts. So it sits there silently.

If a guy were to suddenly get interested in this pocket gaming thing where would he start? Because that definitely looks like a new hobby of mine.



I recently took up watercolor painting. I'm F'n terrible at it but it is relaxing.

I have to be careful with hobbies. At some point during covid, woodworking turned into a job and this year it's golf which is interfering with work.
