I like listening to music while I build model airplanes. I am also talented with skateboaring. Those could be too masculine for you though.

It helps that I live here, but I study Japanese. Hoping that I'll be able at a level where I can make my way through some Saturn RPG's by the time I head back home next year.

Hey, I do the same, but I don't have the benefit of living in Japan. I visit often though and anytime immersed in the language helps tremendously (as you no doubt already know). I'm not at the level where I can do a Saturn RPG yet (not even close). Kanji is a killer, but mastering japanese would completely open up the saturn library. If you ever do get through any of the games, I'd love to hear your reccos.

To stay on topic, second recommendation for learning a new language. Japanese is on Duolingo now.

I don't really think I could be into model airplanes, but I used to skateboard a few times about three years ago.

Apparently so.

Coding and music. I also like going on little trips exploring the countryside.

I leave PA and go to Ohio.  Much more peaceful.  Then everyone gets out of work around 4'oclock and drives like maniacs.  lolz

I am personally a tech enthusiast. I like to read articles and news about the latest technology especially about electronics gadgets such as earbuds (http://www.whytheluckystiff.net/best-budget-bluetooth-earbuds/), mobile phones, headphones, tablets, headsets, ipads, iphones etc. This is my hobby. I think one should read about the things you are interested in and learn new things to be more productive in your free time.

Perhaps not a "hobby", more of obsessive behavior I had since I was a child... I always wanted to make video games but never got round to it. I have been jotting down my ideas for fan games and original games.

I have plenty of ideas for fan games, especially based on Sega franchises. I would love to make "my" Sonic fan game (https://sonicfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Ultimate_Sonic) someday. It's called "Sonic Ultimate" because I want it to be the ultimate tribute I can give to Sonic.
But not just Sonic games, I have ideas for reboots for Alex Kidd, Golden Axe, The House of the Dead, Fighting Vipers and new games for Columns IVever, Sega Superstars VR and other ideas I keep on various .rtf files.

Not just game ideas for games but also ideas for other things, like... does anyone remember "Captain N: The Game Master (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_N:_The_Game_Master)"? Well I'm sure I'm not the first who came up with a "Captain S" concept but I have made character designs (https://www.deviantart.com/mysticm/art/Captain-S-The-Game-Master-686778498) and lists of episode ideas for full two seasons worth.
And that's just fan projects. I do have original projects in mind.
I also have a Christmas book idea full of creative answers parents can give their children about Santa Claus and Christmas. The kind of book I can imagine a franchise out of it... which is why I also have a Christmas game in mind.

Before Paramount, I even had my own idea for a Sonic movie.

Then there is my fantasy world manuscript (dragons, elves, dwarves etc) which I think needs to be revised more to be more unique from other fantasy franchises such as Tolkein, D&D or Warcraft etc, but with the right art-direction could stand to be more unique. I like to imagine a whole MMORPG based on this fantasy world, a large open world like Skyrim or Warcraft, but with gameplay similar to Phantasy Star Online 2. I would love to make a quest that make reference to Sonic in such a world.

The reason why I mostly regard my hobby as an obsession is because I've always wanted to make games since I was a child and came up with plenty of ideas... but I'm in my 30s now and I just never got round to making them.

My current project, which is on hiatus due to C# complications, is a Puyo Puyo VR game. I decided to redo it as a regular 3D game and then make it a VR game afterwards but at this pace it'll probably end up another failure.

My hobby is to read books mostly related to psychology, spirituality, emotional intelligence and life counselling (https://thecoachtrainingacademy.com/). I think these topics are not too much covered in our lives and despite they are very important for our lives.

I love buying fashion accessories and wearables because as an extrovert I need to meet many people and have to attend many parties and meetings. So, to cope up with my social circle I need some good clothes, watches, wallets, pouches, bags, shoes and other sustainable leather (https://www.parkerclay.com/collections/sustainable-leather) products. So, it is also my hobby.
