I don’t regularly watch any of it whether normal weekly show or special event, but wrestling. I still read up news and stuff about wrestling but I can barely consider myself a fan.

    Skateboarding. I’m old now but seeing street/park/ramp skaters (sorry longboarders and electric skateboard-esque enthusiasts) now still gets me stoked.

    I was a skater growing up and probably how most who knew me would describe me even though I was also into snowboarding, mountain biking, and punk music.

    I lost a lot of my crew when dating became more of their thing in HS, then all of my crew when we went different ways after HS. I tried to stick with it in college but got frustrated with losing a lot of the progress I’d made and always skating alone. I got back into it briefly in my 30s when a couple guys at work expressed interest in hitting up a nearby skatepark over lunches. I could actually do a few things but only at a fraction of my former ability but I went easier on myself and acknowledged that a lot of time had passed since I could do cool stuff consistently. That job and those guys are gone now and I’ve moved. I’ve still got the deck in my garage but it’s been at least 15 years since I’ve skated. I’ll watch an old 411 or see a kid trying to ollie in the neighborhood and that brings me joy (and some sadness)

    I used to keep up with distance running and ultimate frisbee, but after having kids didn’t have time to stay competitive. I’ll still run solo, or play an occasional pickup game, but not doing it regularly makes me a little depressed that my skill level and physical condition aren’t what they once were. 😓

    Not necessarily lost interest but refusing to play so myself. League Of Legends. I used to play it all day, every day and whenever I could.

    But at some point, I did not enjoy it anymore. I uninstalled everything and gradually quit watching Twitch streams of it. Now I just watch a Twitch stream from time to time and then a long while not etc.

    Djing for me. I have a controller and some decent speakers that I almost never use but I still collect music into playlists as if I were still active and watch the reviews on all the latest innovations and new hardware.

    Used to be big into assembling PCs when I was a kid. Haven’t done so in ages, but still keep an eye on the latest hardware.

    Warhammer 40,000 for me. I haven’t painted or purchased a model in decades but I still love looking at the new releases. I still play the video games here and there though

    Most of my hobbies really, 40k, airfix style, TV programmes, reading, computers, wood burning, cooking, etc. Seem to have a massive push on one thing for a week or two, then lose the motivation.

      I feel you on this one. Plus the expense of everything these days has also largely pushed me out as well.

    I can be a hobby dilettante, so there’s a lot I could list.

    Technology and personal computers is probably the biggest one. I used to work in IT and as a hobby had a few computers at home running different flavors of linux for different purposes. I was a big technology enthusiast in general. These days I maintain a basic level of knowledge and awareness because I feel like I have to. I would happily give it all up if I could.

    I also follow Magic the Gathering developments despite not buying cards in decades and it’s been about a year since I played Arena (the free online version of MTG). The rules and card interactions are still really interesting, but I just can’t be bothered to play. I’ve thought more than once about applying to be a judge for MTG tournaments.

    Formula 1. Watched it religiously for many years then the regulations got weird so my interest started waning. I check in from time to time but the last race I watched was around 5 years ago.

    Dating and relationships.

    Used to be something I put a lot of effort into and it was kinda fun, now not fun anymore so there is no point in putting effort in.

      Same. Plus the effort to reward was often very minimal. Most of my best relationships are / were friends that we decided it would be mutually beneficial to add more “nuance” to the relationship. :)

    video games in general. there was a time when video games were my number one hobby by a huge margin. if i had free time i was playing a game, and the only times i would do something else were when i burned myself out or finished something and didnt have anything else to play yet. im not entirely sure what changed over the past decade or so but i slowly stopped finding games engaging enough to hold my interest. i kept trying new games hoping something would hit the way it used to, and sometimes id find that for a while, but now most games i cant play for more than an hour before i get bored and drop them forever. its kind of sad because i used to get so much joy from video games and now i just dont.

      Was going through that until I decided on a whim to try the yakuza series, which is very unlike what I usually play. 7 games later and I am now a huge fan

      Not saying this is you, but ive noticed society in general had our brains friend by big tech and smartphone use. If you start detoxing and going back to 03 levels of tech use, you start to enjoy things like long form games and books again.

      Or maybe you just need a good game series. I’d recommend life is strange (very movie like), or the Alan wake series (Control is an amazing game).

      Or, maybe you just value more important things in life than games right now. Thats fine too.

      Same here, could be just depression or having other stress in life. Every now and then though I do find an absolute gem of a game I can sink hours into (before dropping it again).

      This weekend I actually managed to finally get some people together for Meccha Chameleon and we had a blast, played for about 5 hours :)
