@ryo @balrog_booger That term does describe me. I'm an otaku overall, about a few different things. I ended up having good general knowledge because I tend to absorb new interests, generally because of hobbies that I already have. So, anime and games got me to use computers as a kid and now here I am with a ThinkPad W500 running OpenBSD, after trying most software in existence. Most my of interests have either anime or gaming as their origin point ( Related: https://odysee.com/@TerminalAutism:5/Counter-Currents-and-Getting-Into-Everything-Because-of-Evangelion:5 ), and I have flexible tastes in the first place and like every genre. Reminds me of a segment in Game Center CX that I think was called "everything I need to know I learned from video games".

I like to optimize everything as well, and that includes optimizing the experience of the hobbies, and if you want to optimize gaming, it's pretty easy to end up learning some electronics and learning how to solder and how to repair and mod hardware, and then ending up building keyboards to optimize your typing and computer usage, and then maybe getting interested in other peripherals, maybe getting into 3D-printing to do this stuff. It's especially easy for that to happen when I see people that I think are cool doing it and kinda absorb new interests from them.

The advantage of being like this is that it's fun and interesting, and the disadvantage is that it makes me incomprehensible to most of even the small amount of good humans on this planet. People generally don't care this much even about one thing, and it's much rarer to care this much about a combination of multiple things that seem unrelated, but that are somehow connected.
