Carpentry. I would build everything and anything. Kitchen? No problem. Big ass pergola? Sure. A chair? Hell yea

I’m not sure if it’s a skill but Gambling.

If applied correctly I could buy anything and eventually… I’d pull an Elon and buy Fatshark then fund them to do everything! Unleash the fins!!

Hmm… My first pick would be medicine. Instantly downloading all knowledge of innerworkings of the human body and its response to anything from virus to a foreign object? Sign me in!

But if it’s a mastery that does not come with knowledge (f.e. you would be the best surgeon who ever lived but you don’t know what or where to cut ) I would go for writing (as The Great Writer, or Our Spiritual Liege).

You can base your works on your current knowledge and imagination, make a living out of it, inspire people, hell you can create your own franchise (Books, Games, Movies) and make script for TV series that is actually good for a change.

If I’m trying to game the system slightly: Problem Solving.

Master that and it’ll make life much easier.

Otherwise, Coding, Cooking, or Gardening.

Would love mastery of coding. I’d make so much cool stuff with that.

A truly undervalued skill. I learned this from working as a PC repair tech and it has been invaluable in so many other areas of life.

OH dang it GUITAR i love when others play it but have never quite inspired to master it with my cheesy corner guitar.

For me I’d say automotive repair. Save me a lot of money :joy: and I think I’d really like doing that kind of work full time.

That’s a great consideration. I suppose automotive repair would be a lot more knowledge than simply skill :thinking:

If I had to pick something more purely skill, then… probably drawing/sketching. Always wanted to learn, never made time for it.

come to think of it this is too easy i will now assign random negative traits to everything

you can build it BUT it is 1/10 scale

no catch you already have to pay taxes

all your treatments involve compounds and medications you don’t know how to make

you solve problems so efficiently and so well no one realizes they were issues in the first place

But i can only play one piano and its in a different country

coding: you can program like an inhuman divine entity BUT you can not comment your code in the moment thus forgetting what you were doing.

your guitar is under my piano and its REALLY heavy

I’ve got nothing I’m sorry happy drawing

Ohhh! You just reminded me, I’m supposed to draw some NSFW Darktide art (for my friends as an inside joke) at some stage. I put it off for so long that I ended up forgetting about it, but I said that I’d do it. I don’t want to leave them hanging.

The art won’t be anything too bad, just some general skimpy stuff. In the event that I say “screw it” and decide to just post them, where should I do so? I’ve never done anything like this before, really.

Direct email / Dropbox… but if you really want to post it DeviantArt is a general art site the would work.

Thanks! I know for a fact that I shouldn’t post them on here and my YouTube channel might have kids watching it for whatever reason, so I wanted to handle such a thing responsibly. The art might never see the light of day outside of my Discord DMs, but I might end up feeling confident enough to burden the world with the horrors that I can conjure.

I was surprised how much Darktide art there is on deviant art..unlike its name sake and launch I thinks it’s be rebranded to be general art site now.
