edit: “not work” as in “food, housing, and healthcare needs are met,” not as in “billionaire super-villain money”
I would sail sail the great lakes for weeks at a time.
I would write more music, and hire musicians to play it with me.
I would spend half the summer growing food (which I already do!)
I would continue to invest in my own mental health, but spend more time meditating.
I have chronic fatigue (to simplify a longer story), and spending that precious energy solving logic puzzles for a paycheck is sometimes pretty demoralizing.
Begin to develop and publish cost efficient free open source designs for scientific laboratory equipment that can be made by anybody, so that scientific laboratories are able to do science without spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on a machine that rocks left and right or shakes in a circle.
Probably focus “full time” on indie gamedev.
This is my answer as well. It sucks that I can only work on my game on weekends and holidays while the rest of my life is wasted on boring business bullshit that nobody cares about.

Not have to work for money as in infinite money?
Probably accidentally kill myself within a year from stupidity by having access to effectively anything I want
sorry, I mean, if you didn’t have to worry about food, housing, healthcare. I just edited the title to reflect that.
In the original thread you didn’t have infinite money, just the basics (food, housing, healthcare).
I would spend the entirety of my time being creative and working on art
My summers are free and i always make big plans to learn new things but i mostly just fuck off and fret that i only have x more days. During covid i volunteered at the local food bank in the summer. I should do more of that. Also, there are kids who don’t get regular meals when school is out. I would like to work with the organization that addresses that.
Make music. Travel, if money isn’t an issue.
Tabletop gaming and things adjacent. I primarily love three RPGs, but I also like board games. Also enjoy doing campaign prep, writing software utilities, 3d printing, and other arts and crafts type things related to tabletop gaming.
I like PC games, too, but seldom play them anymore. My reflexes are slower now, and I miss hanging with friends IRL. If I didn’t have to work, I’d probably catch up on some of the backlog of older games.
I also feel like most new big publisher PC games kind of suck and are formulaic money grabs. But every now and then a real indy gem comes out, and I get hooked for a little while.
We should hang out once we don’t have to work anymore.
Let’s do it! I can’t wait for 2054!
Shit. That date sounds a little optimistic. I’ll only be 72 by then, that’s just barely over halfway to Millennial retirement age!
When I retire I want to hike and camp, cook really nice meals, grow a garden, and make hot rods.
I’d want to learn a language or two. Specifically Irish/Gaeilge (my heritage) and French.
I’d also work on getting healthier and being a better friend and neighbor.Being able to speak Gaeilge and French would be very cool.
I’d learn Mandarin if I had the time
Set up a little woodworking shop and make banjos

Travel, read books
Do more linux
What I do now, except I’d have more than tiny slices of time and energy to do it
