Re: How well do you hide your powerlevels?
I have several toys/figures on my desk at work. A Benten bobblehead from Urusei Yatsura, a tiny Kai Shiden and the RX-77 from 0079 Gundam, a Scopedog toy from Votoms, some Macross Valkyries, etc. I only had one co-worker say anything about them at all and she was only working there for a few weeks before she quit.
OH AND AN ANECDOTE!
Back when I first moved to Austin in mid-2010 and ToyJoy used to sell robot toys, Ultraman/kaiju figurines and toys and great stuff like that (now they have none of that, because they suck), I was browsing that section and I ran into this super hipster looking dude with like, the standard-issue American Apparel v-neck and skintight jeans, ridiculous haircut (he kinda had an 80s anime hair in retrospect). He was browsing the same area with his girlfriend. I don't know how my husband and I got to talking with him but apparently he REALLLLY liked Gundam and the first Unicorn OVA had come out recently and he was going on and on about the final scene in that episode with Banagher getting into the Gundam and how awesome it was or whatever. "AND THE MUSIC WAS SO DRAMATIC! IT WAS SOOOO GOOD!" It was at that point that I began to realize that I had definitely made the right decision moving here, because in my hometown, plenty of "cool" people liked nerdy things like that, but they would never talk about them in public, ever. (I remember this time I went over to my sister's house, she lived in a major party house in Nashville, and we were trying to watch Area 88 on the only tv in the house, but her stupid jerk roommate kept making fun of us being a dick and finally I got fed up with it and turned it off. Though, confusingly enough, one time everyone got stoned/drunk and watch the dubbed Fist of the North Star movie together.) It was like a taboo topic. And here was some guy who probably liked most of the same bands I liked, talking about robots and he wasn't self-conscious about it at all, he was going on about it like any other thing he liked. So far my experience here has been like that.
