What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Honestly that just makes me think of the Daniel from SL videos on it. It seems like a neat game but it's definitely a little strange how every other person Daniel spoke to had a 9 foot tall biker bro with a 16-pack as their character.

I've never heard of Daniel but looking him up, he seems like the sort I'd avoid. A lot of people use SL as wish fulfilment, making their avatars the way their idealized self would look. You can get really creative with an avatar but it's less common than big burly biker dudes and girls with giant boobs. I mean, I play a femboy half the time, so that probably says something about me.
