I’m sitting in the hospital room I’ve been in since Tuesday and can’t even begin to explain how bored I am. Let’s chat about anything except politics, I could use some distraction.

I collect hobbies and may even know something about your hobbies. What do you like to do?

    Out of interest, how does one “collect hobbies”? What does that involve/look like?

      Basically, I get into a hobby and I do it until it is all encompassing. Then right about the time I get to where you really have to grind to the next level, I lose interest.

            Ooh I used to love Ingress. Back around 2013–2015 I played a heap of it. Jumped on briefly a few times in the time since. It was a much more well-crafted game than Pokémon Go.

                Enlightened. Initially it was just because I looked around my immediate local area and everything was blue, so I figured there’d be more to do with Enlightened. Then I came to realise my city outside my neighbourhood was overwhelmingly green, but we had a really great friendly local Enlightened community. When they moved away from Hangouts and G+ into Telegram I mostly lost touch.

                In retrospect, the not-so-subtle political allegory with Enlightened being progressive and Resistance conservative is not lost on me either lol. Not that the meta-plot was especially important anyway.

                How about you?

                  I was also Enlightened. I had a great time, but found myself feeling less and less involved with the community until finally just wasn’t into it. I got to level 15 and then had 0 interest in grinding to 16.
