I still absolutely love playing guitar. I’m not great, but if the younger me from back when I started could see how good I am now he’d be over the moon. Every so often I wind up listening to one of the songs that I really wanted to be able to play back when I started, and now it feels brilliant that I can actually just sit down and do that now
I also became keen on modding games (strategy games in particular, starting with Rome: Total War) quite early. I never learned enough programming to be really good at it, but I still do it pretty regularly just to make things for me and my friends. I take great joy in leaving easter eggs in there and waiting for them to find them
I’m fairly certain I would still get the same thrill from mountain biking as I used to, but I can’t really find out. My only bike now has road tyres and I am too out of practice and unfit to fly and up and down a hillside, and I also don’t have anyone to go with (important in case of injuries). However every time I have a downhill section of road on my bike or I see some mountain bikers out while I’m walking hills I get that deep urge to barrel along a trail as fast as my bravery will permit
