REALLY!? I've had it backwards all this time? Can we get confirmation of this assertion? I always thought it was the opposite.
Also Daywolf, given that you are here on an elf sim message board, I'd say you are both [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
Yeah geekdom is like technology, realism, history.
Sure EQ is fairly nerdy, but it's mixed, like Star Wars is mixed. Notice you said "sim"

And that is true since EQ is set in an openworld, and that is one of the more appealing aspects of it to me. It gives me the ability to go off the beaten track and explore different ways of playing the game.
Anyway you've probably read definitions by nerds, they usually mention their love affair with superheroes hehe.
But anyway, geeks are usually technical, such as the often used term Computer Geek. A matter of detail and application of applied technology and science. But also old technology, nothing becomes totally irrelevant but a matter of application. That's why like that show Vikings is considered the #1 Geek show, due to it's historic technical accuracies, though sometimes falls short, but also it's social aspects in history. Geeks are also known for a decent level of social skills, even if obsessive regarding dry details at times. #LinuxVsLinux #Simulators #Exploration #WellDressed #Science #History
Nerds can be technical too, but often lead double lives ^^ e.g. progression themepark mmo programmer by day, wears a superhero cape and stands on roof tops by night. History is a construct, ever changing by time travelers from our future, usually wearing super villain capes lol. Technology and physics is always limitless, even in social settings where it can be proven by whipping out a cellphone and locating Pokemon characters running around in AR space. #WindowsVsPlaystation #ProgressionThemeparks #min/maxing #SuperHeroCapes #Science-Fiction-Fantasy #ComicBooks
