I've been doing various various trivial things. And University.

Coolio.

Indeed. My course has taught me such things as Fun Theory.

Hm? What's that?

A series of factors that determine whether or not a game can be classified as "fun".

I thought fun was like a frog. If you dissect it, it dies.

I'm doing a course that's all about dissecting the concept of fun to create it for other people. Besides, you got something against TVTropes or something?

'Course not. Haha. Is it an interesting class then?

Indeed it is. Very obtuse, though. It's extremely psychology based.

I, on the other hand, do not. I'm more of a fact person, than a "this person thinks this about this topic, while this person is of the opinion that this thing, which is close but distinct from the previous person's views" type of person.

I see~ Sorry, I'm a psychology buff. But even facts can be relative in terms of science--not relative exactly, but up for debate. Even established and tested things like Newtonian gravity can be later found out to be misleading, yeah~?

True, but at least in Physics exams, you're never asked to create your own analysis model on a topic and then apply it to an example of the topic.

But it's easier to bullcrap that kind of answer!

True. But it's not easier to bullcrap it well. While with Physics, you just need to have an idea of the topic to bullcrap your way through the essay questions.

You get essay questions in Physics?! All we get are short answers and all the math/scenario problem. But I guess it's--wait, I was gonna say it's only high school Physics, but it's a dual credit course.

Our A Level and GSCE Physics both had essay questions, generally of the form "You want to get these readings from this thing. Explain how you'd do it, including a diagram".
