I like lore dumping on people who have some understanding of what I’m talking about.
I don’t have much interest in explaining everything to someone who knows *nothingď about it, but if they have a vague understanding/interest in the topic, enough that I know they can understand what I’m talking about, I could talk for hours. And have.
Once while playing Halo, a friend of a friend asked the group why something was the way it was. I told him I can give him the short answer in about 30 seconds, or the long answer which will be very long. He wanted long answer.
Three hours later only two other people were still listening, he knew the entire context of his answer, and he knew never to ask for the long answer again.
I’ve done tye same for star trek multiple times.
But give me someone who doesn’t know the first thing about either and they would have to be super interested to learn for me to keep going. I don’t do well with blank stares.
The funny thing is it isn’t any specific thing either. It’s not just halo or star trek or even Sci fi or games. Its anything I have interest in and know a lot about.
It’s that a “weird niche thing” or just a “weird quirk about weird niche things”?
