    I post and share photography. Some of my works that I think are mediocre get a lot of attention, and some of my most-loved works are nearly ignored.

    But I post for me.

    I am asking because I stream really boring streams all the time. People are welcome to tune in and check out, and there is no expectation of interaction at all. If someone gets some joy out of watching someone fly in a flight simulator listening to chill music for hours at a time, that’s great.

    It reminds me of this youtuber, who has thousands of videos with almost no views.

    I started playing bass guitar on Rocksmith about 5 years ago. I’m in the top ten on most songs on the medium difficulty, and have almost 1000 hours in the game.

    I’ve never actually played bass in front of anyone other than my ex, and I’ve never really tried to play without the game.

    At first I thought I wanted to get good enough to join a band, or at least play along with my family, all musicians, when they get together, but it turns out I just really enjoy spending a Friday night with a half pint of whiskey and jamming alone with headphones.

    Drawing, I did a drawing recently of my persona Mew. I saw a movie with a drawn character and I became inspired enough to sit and draw for once.

    I don’t really do anything at all for validation. I’m old and simply don’t give a fuck about that.

    Gaming, often retro but not limited to. I don’t need achievements or tell others about what I achieved, but converse about the experience. Admire the design and dive into worlds and have fun!

      Same. Last night I spent hours on an SNES emulator, playing Donkey Kong Country 2 all the way up to Kreepy Krow in Gloomy Gulch. I wasn’t doing it to achieve anything, just for the fun of it. The music, the visual aesthetics, and the nostalgia connected to it made it such a satisfying play-through that I haven’t done in ages.

    We used to stream and YT vids for the love of it but got burned out. Now we’re trying to get back into YT but this time with animation. We’re not very good at animation mind you, but we’ll be trying regardless x)

    Playing guitar. It’s just tops. A lot of people know I play since I’ve been doing it forever, and I’m pretty fucking good at it these days, but I’m pretty sure my brother is the only person to have ever heard my songs since I last played in a band, and that’s only because he asked to hear them. He describes my sound as prog-doom-metal, which makes sense given my influences.
