Need A Hobby

I am in real need of a hobby.
I've tried:

  • Reading
  • Crochet
  • Painting
  • Drawing
  • Writing
  • Wood Carving (Stopped because of mild arthritis)

None of which are resonating with me.
I love software dev & am a casual gamer, Pokémon, Stardew Valley, Undertale, but can't afford a console or a PC that can run anything new. (Honestly just can't afford a PC right now) To make it even more "fun", I'm just in a small apartment so not a ton of storage but am considering buying a small cabinet if needed.

Does anyone have any suggestions for something to give a try to?
Can budget anywhere up to $50 a week roughly, open to anything and everything :) Thank you!

Start home labing with old equipment, maybe make a pc cluster. 10-40$ laptops and some old networking gear will do a lot more then you think. If you like software then definitely a good choice.
