Gaming

My wife and I have been playing Vintage Story. We're really enjoying it. It's a block survival game ala Minecraft but it's much nicer to look at and the mechanics are way more in depth.

We're in our first winter currently and doing things around the house we built at the start of the cold season (so we can stay close to somewhere warm). We've just made our first windmill and are building a chicken coop and making our farm look nicer with fences and paths. I've just started tanning to make leather using barrels full of borax and tannins (which you get by soaking oak logs in water for a day or so).

It's also highly customisable with the world gen/ server settings and mods. For example we've moved our default spawn to our base and have a mod that sets spawn at beds for when we are off exploring.

It's in early access but there's definitely enough game to justify the cost at present.
