Everyone's a nerd about something. What are you a nerd about? (lemmy.world)

I know it's an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I've always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I've always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We've gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This doesn't mean I support Z or Putin, of course. What are you a nerd about?

It's got to be DnD- I don't just play it, I don't just DM it, I've actively studied how it's designed and balanced in order to make content that is better than the official stuff. I've found and ironed out critical flaws in how the game is set up and I've made pieces of homebrew content that are larger than entire books.

This is a hell of a bold claim to make, but I believe that I have come to understand the game better than its own Dev Team.

I've been a nerd all my life.

Reading, practicing languages, drawing pictures, practicing my faith, streaming, listening to music, and playing and collecting old video games.

I have all sorts of interests.

Sort of shied away from anime and manga though, because I now have my convictions.
