Think of how much the “train guy” gets made fun of for his super detailed scale model train set. Or the guys/gals that put a ton of energy and time into DnD. Both of those often involve a lot of math and planning. Which would normally be considered valuable skills, but spending time on those hobbies is generally (with exceptions of course) looked down on.
I am thinking more like figure the % of people who would look down on DnD time vs working late at the office. It’s massively different. There are people who know better, but they are in the minority.
Dont agree at all. Everything you put work into and you’re getting good at is impressive.
Most of the time, your hobby also learns you other skills, that can be used in different fields.
And most importantly, you are more happy.

Yeah, maybe you are right that “pop culture people” would look down on it because it’s not mainstream.
I play DnD myself, so I guess I’m the wrong person to ask haha.

Cant argue with that.
