Poll: What personal hobby/activity do you consider the most important?

I have four main activities that I do during my available time. I noticed lately that I'm doing a bit of everything which is not very good -- without focus I end up doing producing less than the normal. For that reason I would like to have the opinion of you people to know which one I should give a more attention :D -- I'm gonna let this poll open for one week.

Details of each option:

SA-1 ROM hacking: Here is everything SA-1 related, directly or indirectly. Which involves mostly understanding better how the SA-1 chip works in hardware (by studying the cart, writing better implementations on emulators (Snes9x/bsnes) and hardware (MiSTer/sd2snes) and together getting more games into the chip or ROM hacks. My previous post is a little example of the future games that can be released with the SA-1 chip. Hardware-wise, it's a hope that we will get SA-1 emulation close as the original SA-1 cart.

SMW hacking: here it involves contributing to for development of new ASM hacks and tools for SMW ROM hacks. SA-1 originally started here, but I have contributed on SMW hacking as well with tools and ROM hacks. Lunar Magic 3.00 is the best recent example that can be given, but most of the stuff I have done involves smaller tools and patches other than SA-1 Pack. However much more can come: real-time multiplayer patch (4 players at the same time), widescreen Super Mario World, newer Lunar Magic enhancements together its author, a new music program and more.

SnesLab: here I'm working to develop a website for general SNES ROM hacking, in hope we can approach the general SNES ROM hackers together and teach new people into advanced topics. It also involves developing new potential tools like the SPC Studio, which is a proposal for inserting custom SPC tracks on any game (which includes Super Mario World).

Touhou Mario 2: this is a SMW ROM hack which I'm using the SA-1 chip to show to true potential of the SNES using two franchises together: Touhou Project and Super Mario. It involves custom levels, bosses and ideas never ever executed before on the Super Mario World engine.

If someone would like more detail about the projects behind each option, don't be afraid to comment! The resources I'm getting over Patreon is already helping me a lot and listening you all means a lot for me.
