Date: September 17th, 2018 8:20 PM Author: chestnut hairless juggernaut toaster what if i used to be into games when i was a kid, and i'm still into science and math and computers and being hyper-analytical, but i also am repulsed by "nerd culture"?
to the extent that i still like games, it's because i'm curious about the low-level details that get exploited in TASes |

Date: September 17th, 2018 8:33 PM Author: Bespoke Mind-boggling Parlor Antidepressant Drug the word you're looking for isn't "nerd," it's "fag." there are lots of "nerds" out there who are more or less totally normal people, they just have specialized interests that aren't popular with the "normie" population
you're thinking of "fags," who are like "nerds," except weird and creepy and annoying and pathetic. you would think that stuff like academia and video game conventions would be populated by chill nerds who just happen to autistically like scholarship or video games. but in reality, they're populated by complete fags who have zero redeeming qualities and are constantly passive-aggressively squabbling amongst each other for access to the 3/10 females who they all orbit |

I am a nerd, but not a geek. |

Date: September 17th, 2018 8:45 PM Author: Fantasy-prone Bull Headed Orchestra Pit this is wrong on literally every level bro.
'nerd' culture is exactly what you describe as geeky. cons, star trek, big bang theory, ironically wearing glasses, dressing up like pokemon trainers is 100% nerd shit. nerds now are all 100% gay bearded dudes who play old mario games and buttfuck each other at reddit meetups and big-titted whores who like dressing up like anime characters for attention on the internet.
geeks are people like zuck who have no social skills, are reasonably intelligent, and have a grudge against humanity because chad gave them swirlies in high school. |

Date: September 17th, 2018 8:50 PM Author: Contagious set gonna have to agree to disagree bro Those people self-describe as geeks, not nerds people like Zuck are both nerds AND geeks simultaneously Elon Musk, for example, is a NERD |

Date: September 17th, 2018 8:35 PM Author: Seedy Aphrodisiac Old Irish Cottage Forum “Nerd culture” is a made up marketing gimmick. If I like board games then I guess I should like super heroes and zombies. It’s as fake as any other prefab identity. The “culture” was way better before there was a self awareness to it and companies started actively producing and targeting products to nerds and nerd culture.

Date: September 17th, 2018 8:39 PM Author: cerebral talking weed whacker I'm fascinated by those tabletop rpgs where you roll dice to determine outcomes and such. I like the idea of creating a living breathing narrative that changes form with strict rules and mechanics. But I look so different and "normal" compared to the average guy who is into this, so nobody in that crowd really trusts me or wants anything to do with me. They also tend to have corny personalities and personal quirks that are hard for me to tolerate. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4079843&forum_id=2#36828719) |

Date: September 17th, 2018 8:45 PM Author: Seedy Aphrodisiac Old Irish Cottage Forum There are way more people who are into D&D or other rpgs than you realize. Most either gave it up at some point but still want to play or are to embarrassed to admit their interest in mixed company. The ones that are really outgoing about it are usually the freakier dudes who put everyone else off. Also, that Tom Hanks movie from the 80s made everyone think dogs were some satanic cult shit.

I’ve been into gaming since I was 13 and i’ve kept up with the scene in my hometown and play with some guys every time I visit. If you have a local game store stop in and ask the owner or whoever is behind the counter. A lot of times they will have someone who runs weekly games at the shop or they’ll be able to refer you to a group. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4079843&forum_id=2#36828779) |
