Currently lusting after the gay magician Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age. His mustache. His sass. His beauty mark at the corner of his eye. His buzzed undercut. His insistence of dressing with one arm always bare for no fucking reason. His very obvious existence as a brown rip off of Oscar Wilde. His rather insensitive and sheltered world view regarding slaves and people that dress less nicely than him. His attraction to a horned orc (or potentially me, another gay magician). Everything about him is love and life.
 
My very strong interest in prosthetics has resulted in my current major choice, Biomed Engineering. Im rather sure it counts as some off fetish at this point
 
I've been getting back into hunting lately. I just got back from an incredible pronghorn antelope hunt in Cody, Wyoming and brought back 270 pounds of meat between the four antelope me and my dad killed (one buck and one doe each), plus a massive elk leg and backstrap that our friend in Idaho gave us when we visited him on our way back. I've got a bear tag for my home state and am planning on getting a deer and elk combo tag for the upcoming season. Me and my dad have a tree stand setup in the woods near our house which I've killed deer out of two years in a row now (and that I only spent about four hours or so total in it), and I'm planning on using it even more heavily this year. I want to get to the point where I'm completely self-sufficient as far as meat goes: I want all the meat in my freezer to be game that I've harvested (big game, birds, fish).
 
Tabletop pen and paper games, especially DM'ing them. I've been running a home brewed D&D campaign for a very long time now. It's great fun for me to have all this lore and history and mythos for my homebrew world, and also expand upon it with player input and how their actions shape and change things. It's rewarding to engage in this group storytelling and end each night with the players happy and enthusiastic for more. It's a good way to hone your creative and improv skills, thinking on your feet as players will always find a way or make decisions you didn't anticipate.

They're great fun, and I've had some of the most enjoyable times with my friends, my brothers and introducing new people to tabletop. If you have any sort of creative bent, these games are a treasure trove.
 
Archiving media and digital information.
I have a 24tb NAS that I got in 2013/2014 I use as a torrent server, I'm going to archive stuff to BD-Rs.
The plan is to build a massive archive of media and stuff as a sort of time capsule, so in decades time I can go back and see what life was like back when.
I'm super obsessed about decades and culture.
 
I have a few things I veer dangerously close into sheer autism about.

Giant Robot stuff, but especially Battletech/MechWarrior. Yes, I know mecha are exceptional in practical warfare. I don't care. They're fucking awesome. I am upset with the trajectory of the franchise, particularly where Piranha Games and Harebrained Schemes are involved.
Post-apoc stuff in general, but Fallout in particular. It should be noted that I fucking hate the direction Bethesda has taken with the series, and I hate the exceptional individuals that have infested the fanbase with shipping and crap as an indirect result of Beth's revival of Fallout. (Craig Boone is not fucking gay you retards, stop that. Sawyer already gave you Arcade and Veronica.)
Lastly, I'm utterly enamored with the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure series. I think Araki is a pretty clever person (who has made some mistakes, but that's fine, we all make mistakes) and I think the series is just so ridiculously fun while still demonstrating the capability to be more than a silly lark into shounen tropes. I am absolutely dismayed by the number of fujoshits and so on who seem to share my interest in JJBA.
 
I got back into Gunpla (Plastic Gundam Models) again after a decade hiatus and I've already spent about $700 on kits and supplies. Plastic crack is no fucking joke, kids. Real talk though, this entire hobby is like making action figures that don't look like shit and don't cost an arm and a leg, who the fuck would buy a Robot Spirits figure if there's a kit?
 
Writing. I've been planning on writing a character for a historical kind of RPG thing for history enthusiasts and I've created a character from the Edwardian era. I'm currently obsessed with studying Edwardian details to get the story right and for the next coming months to next year, I'll be writing his back story.
 
Trying to learn how to edit/make a 3d mesh and failing also organizing my mods folder.
 
D&D 5e. Specifically retooling Curse Of Strahd into including JoJo's Bizarre Adventure inspired encounters including but not limited to a version of Strahd whom more closely resembles Dio in his abilities, and making The Death House into a creepy version of Super Fly.
 
I’m absolutely obsessed with guitar effects pedals. The sound, the look, the history, etc. talk that stuff to me and I’ll sperg the hell out gushing about them.
 
Lately I've been getting into folk metal bands especially from both Northern and Eastern Europe. Latest discovery was of the band Skyforger from Latvia but I've also been listening to Arkona and Temnozor from Russia, Ensiferum and Moonsorrow from Finland, and Tyr from the Faroe Islands
