I feel like all my favourite topics are just repulsive to most others hey. I don't blame them, it's mostly woke pondering about politics, economics, society, history, etc, etc. but yeh, try talking about any of that without triggering people into emotional states. I wish I instead was totally obsessed with something approachable like cars or plants or smth but nope, that's just not me.
Edit: no I do have a normie obsession! Game design, I could talk about that all day and forever.
Same. My "solution" is that I just don't talk with other people. I'm not into blahblah and noone wants me lecturing about the state of the world and the internet or gaming.
So how would you approach a turnbased hex newbie friendly but complex war game?
