I also have a bunch of hobbies. D&D (well, roleplaying in general, mainly Pathfinder 2e these days); video games, primarily the Age of Empires franchise and survival crafters like Raft, DST, and Factorio; triathlon, as well as running and cycling as separate sports; photography; and music (I play piano, clarinet, and saxophone).
But perhaps the most unusual/unorthodox of my hobbies is fencing. I did sport fencing back in high school, but these days it's HEMA. Historical fencing based on texts & treatises written during the historical periods. Using weapons that are more familiar historically accurate than the weapons you see in modern fencing. But with modern protective equipment for safety. I do mainly rapier in the Spanish and French styles, as well as some sabre.
Ayyy Pathfinder 2 gang
Been a little over a year since I started actually playing it, and nearly 2 years since I first bought the CRB. It just feels so much better than 5e did, and I still haven't even been able to really take advantage of it, since I'm playing a published D&D campaign that I'm porting over to PF2, which limits how much I can take advantage of 2e's encounter and adventure design. Excited for the opportunity to eventually run 2e completely on its own merits.
I've been part of a Strength of Thousands campaign for the past year or so. Incredibly fun adventure path for PF2.
