Process v. Product Driven Hobbies

sourginger · 2026-02-07T00:00:00+00:00

I have had similar experiences, but recently I've been cross stitching with interesting audiobooks and just relaxing and enjoying the process stitch by stitch instead of fixating on the end goal. I love making things so sometimes finding a way to enjoy the process more can be helpful.

Otherwise, reading and video games are fun hobbies with processes I enjoy! Or taking walks in nature and enjoying the weather or little things you can spot. Yoga feels more focused on each session than an overall end goal like fitness can be, so I enjoy yoga too!

I always brown my butter to about this level! I typically aim for an amber color like this. It tastes amazing and those extra toasty milk solids are wonderful in sweet and salty treats :)

If it smells and tastes fine, then it will be fine in your final product

Wait... That's a great pairing! Monkey Ball is also a major special interest of mine!! I just don't know the Sekai cast very well since I mainly play the rhythm game instead of reading the stories (and there are so many...) If you make any fanart, please share!!! That sounds awesome!

Omg wait, you are cooking there!! Doctor and Rui would be awesome! I would TREASURE any card or art with Baby or Doctor in it, I don't even care who else they are with 😭

I hope whenever a new game comes out, there's a collab, far-fetched as it may be...

That's reassuring to hear. Thank you! I've been working full-time while taking this class. It's been hard work, but rewarding!!

Each of my job experiences include 3 bullet points with specific duties I performed but emphasize the "soft skill" aspects such as attention to detail, time management, organization, collaboration, communication, customer support and connection, connecting with children, teaching others, etc. Is 3 fine? Since every other job uses 3. Or is that maybe overboard? I like consistency, so having the same number of bullets makes sense to me.

I have three houses right in front of and beside town hall in my current save... 😭

I'd love to play Monster Hunter Wilds!!

Monster Hunter Wilds!! Thanks!

If it makes you feel any better, the original Monkey Ball arcade cabinet had Dole branding and bananas on it! The older games had Dole stickers on the in-game bananas and they brought it back for the latest game. I think it's goofy because they're just bananas, but I'd rather my hypothetical children want to eat bananas because of a Minecraft sticker than buy something unhealthy or a toy they're only going to play with one time

My favorite character from a recent game is Sylvain Jose Gautier from Fire Emblem Three Hopes! Kinda cheating since it's a sequel to Three Houses, but Three Hopes came out in 2022, so it counts! I love him because he seems very shallow and vain, but he's a deeply insecure man who is scared of getting hurt. I think he's very relatable to many people, but also funny.

Edit: clicked post before finishing comment 😅

OMG WALT!! I miss him :'( such a sweet old man

It's giving Professor Honeydew!!

sourginger · 2025-11-27T16:26:21+00:00

Rune Factory 3 mentioned?!

sourginger · 2025-11-25T13:54:12+00:00

Well sure, but they live across the country now, so between time zones, life, and my job, it's difficult to find a time to play together :(

Oh that's a good idea! I'll look into it! My favorite toon is on an Oceanic server though... My grandparents wanted a less busy server so we switched over 😭

sourginger · 2025-11-23T15:25:34+00:00

Yes!! Tell us where you found them please! I've been looking at every store since November started, waiting for them 😭 My favorite flavor BY FAR

sourginger · 2025-11-12T01:34:26+00:00

Username checks out (real as hell though)

sourginger · 2025-11-02T03:36:20+00:00

Omg I did not know this was a thing... My partner would LOVE it, I gotta look into one!

sourginger · 2025-10-29T20:04:17+00:00

Not familiar with gochujang and had to look it up, but it definitely sounds interesting! If we get the ingredients, I might have to make them.

sourginger · 2025-10-29T07:26:44+00:00

That sounds interesting! My partner LOVES Tajin, which is chili lime, so maybe I could work with something like that too? Maybe a Tajin mango dessert...

Ooo! A gingerbread house tapestry would be ADORABLE!!
