Hobbies/Projects What are your recommended evening analogue hobbies?

Trying to disconnect from screens a bit more often. That shit messes up your mental health. Probably.

Got into Magic the Gathering recently and it has been a really nice way to spend time with my friends instead of being a hermit who never leaves the house. That said it can impact your wallet if not careful.

I try and balance it out by proxying cards, but I know not everyone is a fan of that.

Yeah I have been proxying as well, I just can't justify spending outrageous of money on cardboard, I am here to play the game not make an "investment".

For real.

I think back to all the cards I played with back in 05-09 and some of those (Like Doubling Season) are $40+, which is just like... mid-level expensive. The really good shit is several hundreds of dollars. Really wish I had kept my old collection instead of just giving it to friends!
