Why do normalshits invade nerd hobbies?

Nerds don't invade normalshit hobbies such as sports and raising other people's children, so why do normalshits invade gaming and ruin it by playing casual shit like ARTS?

You know effete little faggots are usually the ones who are cucks right? People who play sports are what men should aspire to be.

Just escape to a deeper niche of the hobby. Find a more obscure video game and gather some other autists to play it with you until some norms inevitably invade that community and you have to repeat the process.
>>
Videogames aren't a nerd hobby anon. They have a very broad appeal.
>>
>>336252925
if you wanna be a nerd you have to go fucking deep now

comics, video games, weebshit and even fucking tabletop are all basically normie mode now.

If you wanna keep your status you have to go into shit like replica prop building, matlab, miniatures, model kits or something else.

If you feel like the fun you were having can genuinely be ruined because a girl shows up then you don't deserve friends and can go ahead and stay a bitter faggot convinced everyone else ruined the fun.

Imagine leaving a game in a sulk and convincing yourself you're not the one being a faggot. It's painful how many people here unashamedly think and act like 12 year old boys while also having massive ego problems.

I know, it's the autism. Still I wish there was less of it.

Why do pathetic manchildren think a hobby is a secret club and why do they think all normalfags are bad people. I grew up playing videogames and watching anime Just like you did, except I balanced with an healthy social life and there are a shitload of nerds who are not awkward and unwelcoming pieces of shit like you, op.

most of us don't even mine those who have trouble socializing and are willing to help if they want. If you want to be left Alone, Also fine. It's pieces of shit like op de can't handle, you're nobody's boss so shut the fuck up and lock yourself up if you don't wanna ses anyone.

Those 2 invented and encouraged the hobby from the beginning. Others came in and ruined it, treating it like a fad. You see this happen time and again in just about everything. Sometimes it's actually good to experience widespread growth but when it comes to niche hobbies it tends to ruin them. Part of the blame lies with the producers as well; they 'sell out' and go for the shekels instead of remaining true to their loyal fans. Greed is a human trait.

most comics
video games as a whole
literature

The last one is the worst imo. It isn't as prevalent or obvious as the others but it is a slow steady creep observable in terms of generations and decades. Of course a Homer or Shakespeare is a rare case, but can you name a single author fromt he past 50 years that can compare with Hemingway? Dostoevsky? Dickens? Twain? I dare anyone to name an author or book in the last 40 or 50 years that transcends genre and has the capability of withstanding the test of time so to speak.

All the anons shitting on this comic probably have never been a part of a DnD group. This is generally how they fall apart. Likewise I have seen raid guilds turn into newb guilds by the same principal. I remember a monthly LAN party slowly fall apart as the original quake was replaced by halo to accomadate are normies friends who didn't have rigs but all had x-boxes. If the 'girl' part offends you replace 'the girl' with 'just someone there to socialize', and the dude bro represents the people that came just to socialize with the other socializers.

Normies are normies because of their confidence, charisma, and assertive personality. These people are hard-wired to conquer, and oppress these inferior to them.

WoW is the sole reason for the complete casualisation of the MMO genre, for the simple fact that the casuals it catered to couldn't handle open world

CoD was never for nerds, but it single-handely changed the FPS genre into a dudebro genre.

Sports "nerds" are just your typical run of the mill hipster or a Chad who wears glasses and wants to own the aesthetic instead of getting contacts.

I think there are several things when it comes to getting good at pinball
Ruleset and table layout knowledge

Ball control knowing where you need the ball to roll on flippers and what angle the ball will fly at so you can make shots easier

you can easily find tutorials for specific tables online
which helps alot in learing specific machines in depth

you can find videos with techniques for ball control moving a ball between flippers, but mostly ball control is something that requires practice, and digital doesn't really cut it for

but as you play more on specific machines and get skilled you'l start seeing ways to manipulate the ball in ways to make shots the designers probably didn't intend to happen

also enjoy it for fun, don't compare yourself with pros i the beginning your motivation should be seeing your average/high score on a specific machine go up as you practice

if you want to learn some table layouts and rules go look up PAPApinball on youtube they have some pretty comprehensive gameplay tutorial videos going over the rule sets and tricks done by a winner of the largest annual pinball tournament

To be fair I'm the same, except sometimes I prefer a quiet relaxing environment for some hobbies since having a ton of people or everyones invited setups mean you have to socialize instead of relaxing.

The best way I can describe it is when I used to go fishing alone and would catch huge stuff, then my mates (all dude bros) caught on and wanted to join in, I was ok with it at first but slowly realized in turned my relaxing hobby into something exhausting I had to manage and organize. I was the one with the know how so I had to baby everyone on what to do which was not relaxing at all.

Same shit happens with introverted people and their hobbies, where they like to keep it low key and relaxing.

You'll probably never understand because you are extroverted and relaxing to you is socializing in large groups.

It's not even that.
The bitterness these virgins have are about others liking things they like, but not being failures as well. Simple as that.

If there was a guy who knew every single DnD rulebook off by heart, he'd be a nerd, right?
Now imagine that same guy, but he goes out drinking too, and has a girlfriend he plans to marry, and drives a car and has friends and likes football. Also, worst of all... he has a job.

4chan losers would scream about what a normie he is, and how he's probably ruining DnD.

The Souls series. It's growing popularity and influx of normies ruined discussions among the community which nowadays are just focused on PvP whining and spouting out retarded fanfictions that have no evidence within the games.

Worse yet though is that these people have had an affect on how the games are designed too. Since DaS2 the series has been steadily eroding player choice in the early stages of the games and it's become more and more linear because they don't trust the new, expanded playerbase to be able to make choices about where and what they want to do. Also paradoxically in DaS2's case they really played up the supposed difficulty angle and make a lot of stupid arbitrary decisions to make the game "harder" because DAE think le dark souls is le hardest game? xD
