Motorcycles, Indie games, Chess
I am a fan of quiet cruiser type motorcycles that are built to take you long distances without tiring you out. It is a spiritual experience to ride one and not feel weighed down by the limitations of your body.
I am always on the lookout for niche games made by relatively unknown studios, that are less concerned with selling a product for profit and more about providing a unique experience that challenges the player's pre-existing worldview. Bonus points if they make me cry.
I just like chess because I am a huge nerd raised by a huge nerd.
