I find content I can engage with to be the most interesting. For a long time games were a good way to not just see interesting things but actually affect how events transpire. You go from an observer to a participant. I also could enjoy tinkering with games to add my own twist; ren’py visual novels were very easy to change.

AI chat is also fun, particularly if you’re running GPT4All on your local computer instead of letting who knows which companies read your conversation. I enjoy writing the story, but whenever I can’t think of what happens next I let the AI add something. Usually I either go with it or I’ll have a better idea that I can use instead. Writing a slow burn situation is particularly fun as the eventual payoff is that much more rewarding.

The last thing I’ve been doing lately is to find the studio, artist, or content creator that creates things you like and follow their work. While the release schedule is never as fast as I would like, it’s awesome when you see a new release and get excited. I also like to toss them some money to support their work, and I feel that helps strengthen the community.

I still don’t understand crypto, but Throne appears to have worked fine. I look forward to an option with reoccurring automatic payments.
