    Gaming: very convenient. Don’t have to put just about any effort into turning on the computer after work and spending the entire evening.

    Hunting: I feel like a part of nature in a way growing potatos in the garden does not come close to.

      And it usually only requires a one time purchase, making it a rather thrifty hobby!

      For instance (pls don’t judge, I have a life, I promise):

      I got over:

      • 5000 hours in dota, a free to play game
      • 800 hours in satisfactory, after paying like 25 € once
      • 600 hours in Timberborn after paying like 15 €

      The cost per use is insanely efficient!

      How did you get into hunting? That’s very different from gaming lol

        For me, gaming got me into hunting lol. Specifically RDR2 and theHunter.

        I also started thinking more about the ethics of meat consumption. I basically decided that I should be participating if I continue to eat meat. My dad hunts deer, so I told him I’d go with him if he bought me a rifle.

        I live in a tiny town in north Scandinavia. Common hobby, easily accessible.
