What deep knowledge do you have about a specific topic, game, or something you do?

I don't know enough about anything to give a decent 30-minute presentation without any preparation. It'd have to be something pointless everybody knows, like very simple math.

Adapting sensibilities from other Editions of Dungeons & Dragons into other Editions still.
There be pheasants and penguins and booberry trees between the greenest of skies and the whitest of seas

Here is an unnecessarily long reply lol. know a ton about plenty of games, but it's not really useful or comprehensive knowledge I could pass on very well, especially without preparation. It is just a lot of trivia when it comes down to it.Heroine of the Dragon wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:36 amI'm pretty sure that you know quite a bit about some video games... and that'd count in this case!!I REALLY HATE POKEMON! wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 3:46 pmI don't know enough about anything to give a decent 30-minute presentation without any preparation.

The only game I'm great at and have comprehensive knowledge on is Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Like most fighting games, most people probably can't reach a high level of competitive play without doing some research into stuff like frame data and hitboxes, which is the only game I've done this for at all.
It was in a limited capacity though, I didn't intricately check how all of the cast plays, just whatever related to my main character's matchups I had trouble with, and certain moves. Plus it's been years since I've done that, so it's information I still know intuitively but I'd have some trouble relaying it.
So, the best I could probably do is give a middling presentation on one character from one game.
