Show me the movie or television character you wanted to be growing up vs. the one you feel like you became
in reply to The Gibson

Growing up, I wanted to be exactly like Spock and Scotty.

Today, I'm most like Endicott Reginald Barclay.

Basically the same, just a little less mentally flexible and adventurous and a bit more "Shit, all this again. Right, let's just get it done"

@strypey That is the original incarnation of Ziggy, from Quantum Leap.

Of course! I thought it looked vaguely similar to Zen from Blake's 7, but I was pretty sure it wasn't that. I was on the right track...

I can't be trusted, so I'm murdering the format whilst keeping the spirit alive.

Who I thought I'd grow up to be, versus who I became? Sure.

The character I wanted to be growing up vs the character I actually became
in reply to The Gibson

I don't know who I became, but sadly, this ain't it.

In reverse order, because I can't figure out how to swap the order of the photos...

@strypey To order pics on mobile, I add one, then I go add the next... selecting both at the same time always seems to order them incorrectly.

This also seems to happen when i post images using Semaphore in a desktop browser. I then tried to use FediLab on Android to edit the post (Semaphore doesn't have post editing yet) and reverse the order, but I couldn't see a way to do it.

Picard has always been my role-model (As an aspie I struggle with being diplomatic and managing people unless I go "What would Picard do?") and Spock embodies a cool-and-rational-under-pressure ethos I would also argue is one of my core values, but let's break the mold a bit:

I'm going to show you instead the FMV game character I wanted to be growing up vs the one I feel like I became because I probably spent as much time as a kid watching my brother play games as I did watching TV/movies

@voltur it was! Have you been following Conversations With Curtis at all? If not it is an incredible project.

@voltur basically the actor for Curtis started a project to interview everyone that worked on Phantasmagoria 2 and create a strong oral history of it, while also streaming himself playing it for the first time because he wasn't a gamer and never played it. He's then moved on to trying to interview everyone else he can from various other old games, starting with Phantasmagoria 1 and going from there. It's a treasure trove of old game knowledge nobody seems to have noticed exists but he's a delightful man.

I'm late to the game but I finally figured out the encapsulation of who I wanted to be when I was little.
