I drew my profile pic and banner. The gameplay in the banner is from dragon quest 1 for game boy that I recorded myself.

"Never" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. There are hobbies like shooting guns at a range, configuring the perfect™ dev terminal setup, or going to a dance class that I currently have no interest in, but to say I'll never get into doing them is so final.

I used to think I'd never be into acting. Then one day in high school, I started doing improv and now I play roleplaying games. I hated writing growing up, and I've probably written more each year than the last for several years running. Cooking was something I still struggle with most of the time, but I've come around to enjoying being able to make things work even when you don't have a recipe and could definitely see getting into it later on in life.

To say I'll never do a hobby feels like it means that it'd have to be either impossible, or something I'm so foundationally opposed to that no matter how I change or how my environment changes over the years, I can be sure that there's still no chance of me picking the hobby up.

What that leaves is a set of pretty boring answers, I feel like.

Hobbies that I'll never do because they're no longer possible:

  • I'll never be a 30 under 30 influencer
  • I'll never be a whaler
  • I'll never be a Vine-maker

Hobbies that I'll never do because I find them so morally repugnant:

  • I'll never mint NFTs
  • I'll never mine cryptocurrency
  • I'll never be a whaler

I guess there's one more where I've gone from uninterested to borderline stubborn about not doing it, so in service of trying to answer the prompt interestingly and truthfully: I'll never get into minecraft.

I feel like you have to get into it at a certain age / point in your life, or you simply never will. Nostalgia carries it for adults, like old school RuneScape.

When Minecraft was BRAND NEW, a friend installed on my dad's laptop during a highschool lunch break. Then years later, it blew up on the xbox and it was weird to me that it was being promoted as a kid's game, but now I get that.

I still destroy mountains block by block as a weird mental catharsis thing, but I don't truly PLAY it anymore.
