For me: I am one of the foremost experts on Team Fortress 2 video recording/editing and automated clip gathering within tf2 specifically. Even more specifically within the context of competitive play but the knowledge applies to casual play as well.

    I’m an incredibly good riichi mahjong teacher! I also teach go, shogi, and koi-koi too. It’s nice landing gigs when an anime convention pays me to go out and run panels about this stuff, helps round out the monthly income nicely, plus I get to travel and take good art pictures while I’m out!

      Oooooo!!! I am a big fan of playing Go! I wish I had more opportunities to actually play with people in person. Everyone I play against these days is someone I also taught how to play.

        I am also a big fan of playing Go — but I’m quite bad at it considering how much time I spent trying. The game I’m actually good at is NetHack.

          No one is good at Go, no one. Even the ones sitting in the Nihon Ki’in playing for a Honinbo title wouldn’t say they’re good, and they’re the ones being televised.

        A lot of people have mentioned it to me, so I flipped through it for a bit and was pleasantly surprised to see that the manga uses actual go consultants to make sure that the material presented in the books is accurate and useful!

        I’m not really an anime and manga enjoyer in my day-to-day though, but I’m glad those people exist.
