Here is a way to leave your Noobie status behind - Tutorials can help guide the newbie



Urban Dictionary offers a distinction between noob and newbie -
Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own. It is the latter we will study in this guide so that the reader is prepared to encounter them in the wild if needed.

Noobs are often referred to as n00bs as a sign of disrespect toward them, and it's often hella funny, but I will refer to them as noobs during this reading.

I first realized that entering the metaverse meant I was a noob. Sitting in the office I signed on to my account - a group of fellow office dwellers signed on as well. With our new identities we managed to find each other and teleport to a dance club. Quickly an oompaa lumpa looking member of our crowd who had an identity that was not attractive and was not wearing a shirt was laughed at - as we all were. A pack of newbies. How annoying. We were at a strip club and no one appreciated our stupid attempts at participation - we had no money to pay the dancers we did not even know that we should have paid them. I am still a newbie - I am afraid to talk a lot of the time. Its like the first day of school. You sort of sit and observe.
