Why pretend? As long as you do not spam people it should be fine? And spamming is always bad, regardless of the topic.
I'm a huge nerd. I love triggering people's interests.
But one day at the local coffee house someone was wearing an O.G.R.E t-shirt, a very old game. And I'd been an active gamer in that era but never played that one.
This was simply unacceptable! He had to describe the game in great detail, and I'll admit I had a good time letting him let it all out.
It's fun! I'm sure he remembers that day when someone actually knew what his shirt was about.
I'm surprised the shirt survived for that long. Unless it was a re-print
It was an old shirt, but not quite ratty.
