Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

      Wow, didn’t expect the first comment I see to be my obscure hobby! Do you have places to play nearby or own any games yourself?

      i love pinball and I’ve found that every single person I’ve introduced it to ended up finding it very cool. most people, like myself before I got into it a few years ago, don’t even know that there are really objectives and ways to advance the game on most tables, so once you start talking about specific shots and what to do people tend to get really excited about it - especially if you act encouraging and excited when your opponents in a hotseat game are doing well.

      the tricky part is getting someone to a table to play 😅

      Pinball is cool as heck. The only thing I miss about living in Massachusetts is the New England pinball league and all the places the were to play. Looping three-way combos into the piano on Twilight Zone is orgasmic
