Mostly?
Minecraft Java edition and emulating retro games, both on PC and actual old systems. Just found a copy of Bully as well. I have a potato computer with a really old graphics card, I tried to buy a 1050 (Gigabyte) and it threw a fit, but I'm just using the 710 that was inside it already. Can run games up to the sixth generation of consoles. The GBA, DS and 3DS have a decent catalog of games like Dementium the Ward (DS), which I'd recommend, it was meant to be part of the Silent Hill franchise but got reworked into a standalone game unrelated to S.H.. I re play the GBA Metroids from time to time.
Gears Tactics isn't bad for a single playthrough if you like turned based strategy (the story is a lore breaking mess just like the franchise, but it is decent. I'd recommend actually playing XCOM over it though, the Coalition should have just had Splash Damage develop a traditional Gears of War shooter for PC from the ground up. Could have netted MS a killer app on PC, the game runs pretty smooth, the cover gameplay is still there, and the graphics are decent even on my potato).
I used to say Gears was my Star Wars so to speak - I wouldn't fail a trivia challenge and can answer the most obscure questions on the franchise's lore - but after TC woke-d it up, I gave up. Fuck em.
For Books:
Tolkien has quite a large selection obviously, and I follow Christopher Lee's example of reading it once a year. The audiobook of LotR is great, but I recently got my hands on the 1981 BBC Radio adaptation, which is a thing of beauty. Really wish New Line had let Brian Sibley help Jackson adapt the novel for the films instead of Fran Walsh. Recently picked up A Rumor of War, Based On A True Story (God rest your soul Norm MacDonald), and Tonke Dragt's Letter For The King (haven't started yet).
I don't watch shows or movies anymore.
