My two are:

Making sourdough. I personally always heard like this weird almost mysticism around making it. But I bought a $7 starter from a bakery store, and using just stuff in my kitchen and cheap bread flour I’ve been eating fresh sourdough every day and been super happy with it. Some loafs aren’t super consistent because I don’t have like temperature controlled box or anything. But they’ve all been tasty.

Drawing. I’m by no means an artist, but I always felt like people who were good at drawing were like on a different level. But I buckled down and every day for a month I tried drawing my favorite anime character following an online guide. So just 30 minutes every day. The first one was so bad I almost gave up, but I was in love with the last one and made me realize that like… yeah it really is just practice. Years and years of it to be good at drawing things consistently, quickly, and a variety of things. But I had fun and got something I enjoyed much faster than I expected. So if you want to learn to draw, I would recommend just trying to draw something you really like following a guide and just try it once a day until you are happy with the result.

    Clone Hero is great for E-drumming (have to set it to Pro Drums because regular Drums works with old Rock Band and GH kits). I also paid for a year of Melodics and learned a lot from it.

      Yeah I’ve heard about Clone Hero! Just kind of holding off for now because it’s supposed to be better than Rock Band, so I already know it’s going to be this whole “thing” for me once I get into it (trying to juggle a bunch of hobbies, as is my tendency lol).

        I gave it up when I switched up my housing situation. I had downstairs neighbors and didn’t want to go through the hassle of trying to soundproof. I just moved again, though, and I now have a new bottom-floor apartment, so I’ll probably bust out my kit sooner or later.
