What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

    For me it’s selfhosting/programming. I don’t even work in IT. It’s just such a great hobby that actually makes your life more productive.

        Take a look at Gadot 4. As a beginner you can think of it like an open source unity. But they just had a major update and seems to make a lot of the tedious aspects of game dev and streamlining them. Everything is an object which is really nice and they have a scripting language based on python. Easy to read and write

        Python with PyGame can be quite a good start. And if you’re just trying to build something for fun maybe use free assets from the internet.
