What's your uncanny special talent, or what comes absolutely natural to you that makes others look at you in intrigue/disbelief? (lemmy.world)

I know not everyone of us has a special talent, but many of us do. Some are just incredible. So, what are they??

Edit: Please don't be humble. Let it out. Be proud of it and share so we can marvel.

Min/Maxing? In any sufficiently complex game I can determine something that would be an efficient path to victory and pursue it harder than anyone else. I seem to really have a knack for making something work precisely to what I want even if it struggles in other respects.

It's most apparent when I play Stellaris with friends. I self-impose a penalty not to play particular builds that are the best at my min/maxing preference but my not-tryharding play-style will still put me at twice the research output of the next player extremely quickly. Granted my empire has extreme and exploitable weaknesses that theirs doesn't but my gamble frequently pays off.

I have a harder time making it work in Civ6 but that's likely because I play it really infrequently. I believe I've figured out what needs to be done to make it happen though.
