Not the person you replied to but most of the things I do in my free time are somewhat challenging and stimulating. Programming on something that is very new to me and outside of what I do in my job, a challenging video game, hobbies that do involve my computer (got into 3d modeling a while ago) and hobbies that don’t involve my computer (leather working as of quite recently). I also used to learn languages for fun but I figured out really quickly that I like linguistics more than languages so I can be a real smart ass about grammar in various languages but couldn’t order a beer in most of them. I get really annoyed and in a really bad mood if I just watched a movie after work and went to bed. Or just hung out with people. I don’t feel like I got that itch taken care of if I don’t get an hour or so at night for the side projects. Oh and none of this is monetized. I can and do drop projects as soon as they get boring.
