I'm Obsessed With My New Board Game Habit

Ever since I discovered a new board game called 'Eternal Quest,' my life has completely changed. I spend almost every weekend gaming with friends, and even started streaming online just for the fun of it. Now, I find myself talking about nothing but strategies and rules to anyone who will listen. My friends joke that I'm slowly turning into a walking encyclopedia of board game facts. But hey, isn't passion great? Am I just a hobbyist or am I sliding towards being an actual 'nerd' in this community? Anyone out there with similar experiences? How do you keep your hobbies fun without letting them take over your life?
