Not like, with actual credentials but like,you would feel confident doing so.
I'd have to go with punk music, Star Trek, Tolkien, The Simpsons and pre Wii era Nintendo
Im pretty good at telling when a fard is gonna be stinky
I'm sure there's something you're interested in that you could settle off any fact asked from you.
Use your minimal confidence and self esteem to your advantage. Do stuff in for spite or in spite of others. Most people who do well at things actually aren't that good at that thing. No one knows what they're doing. Just pick something you enjoy and try to do it as hard as possible. Just rock out and have fun. Most amazing guitar solos are fifty percent just saying random notes that are available without needing to move your hand.
I should probably have an honorary history degree from the university of coruscant. My actual in lore Star Wars degree would be gender studies at a Hapan community college because that bit premise has so much cursed potential.
I could probably actually do pretty high level lecturing on Tolkien and Trek and could maybe even bring a bit to the table.
My experience with Star Wars lore is mostly in making fun of it.e and a co worker would do time theft by reading wookiepedia articles to each other and when you've only seen the movies they're usually hilarious. We decided one day that we were die hard Sebulba fans and he was our favorite character and finding out his last known location was signing autographs on some planet at 10:15am was really funny info.
Tolkien was what got me to learn how to read so I’ll always have a soft spot for his works. Trek lore always seemed like an afterthought to me honestly (outside based predictions like a United ireland in our near future). It seems like the trek EU goes deeper though (much like Star Wars). Recently went on a deep dive about the federation CIA which was really cool though. Reminded me of the culture series and the question of who does the dirty work in a utopia.
There's almost 800 hours of fully cannon Trek and aside from stuff that is really easy to ignore it's weirdly consistent. Section 31 is neat and I think DS9 really cracked the shell of the Federation's so called ethical exploration and the questions that raises are actually really hard to answer. The new Picard series had to be a Trump analogy so it went way overboard and ignored everything going on that wasn't convenient. I also know a crazy amount about Dr Who despite not liking it
You say stuff about trek that I’ve felt but never thought about before. If you ever feel like sectoring about section 31 I truly would like to be tagged so I see it. I heard Picard was libshit on the old sub, is worth watching? I get the canon thing, but star trek is usually rarely about the canon, Star Trek at its purest form is about the questions about our current day posed by the contrived yet insightful setting of the next adventure.
That's a skill. I can make up a homebree RPG system on the fly and have made a lot of Cosmic Encounter homebrews. Also of anyone likes that game I would love to play online with people.
technology hardware design, and low level kernalspace/userspace software interactions
Anything to do with how shitty computers are, especially cloud computing or banking
Energy drinks, X-Men comics lore, Doctor Who, post-punk and goth music.
More serious I'm intimately aware of the gothieenparts of English anarcho punk some Scandinavian underground stuff, and some Yugoslavian synth bands. Check out The Mob, Cyanide Scenario and Musta Paraati (Finland) if you haven't. I got more.
tell me everything you like and/or hate about Grant Morrison's x-men
Didn’t like what he did with Magneto at all and the art was pretty inconsistent. But I think Scott gets a lot of good characterization and I like the body horror elements of the more outcast mutants. Overall I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who’s just getting into X-Men but it’s still worth the read.
