Warhammer. The tabletop one with the figures, not the video games.
Vacations/travel for some people. Its clearly something where they have zero clue about their privilege and zero self awareness as they talk about it.
Parenting. Seriously, it becomes some people’s only fucking identity and the way they talk about it feels like religious proselytizing mixed with a bit of used car salesperson energy.
Comic conventions. Some people make it uncomfortable how seriously they take it.
Wasting some time on Lemmy trying to leave shitty comments just looking to rile people up or something.
100% what I first thought of. I was well into WH Fantasy as a kid with my older brother and moved into 40k as a teen. Lost interest as an adult and thought I might like to get back into it recently cos I’ve got a mate who’s obsessed.
Too expensive, the business model is more exploitative than ever and the game system has become terribly bloated and the recent new edition hasn’t improved it.
Also, beyond the top tier of competition, most matches are decided before a single figure is put on the board.
There are other far more interesting game systems on the market that aren’t dedicated into forcing you into buying new miniatures and books every 18 months.
