be still: for there is strange music

I was digging around the game files and came across a ton of banters, many of which I've never heard in-game. I'm not sure if they're just hard to spawn (they seem to only pop up when entering/leaving atmosphere or jumping to lightspeed, and I usually spend most of my time on-planet knocking out quests) or if they were never recorded and implemented fully. Seriously, there's a lot -- about 13,000 words of dialogue.

I pulled all of the Trailblazer banters into a Google Doc here for anyone who's interested. I'm not sure if this post will show up in the tag with a link, but it's worth a try!

So currently I answer to my full first name (which I usually introduce myself with) as well as two nicknames/diminutives plus my last name when people mistake it for a first name. There are two or three other nicknames I've also gone by in the past. I'm perfectly fine with this, or neutral at minimum-- I have a common name and have had to be flexible with how I'm distinguished for my whole life. I also don't feel a deep and fundamental connection of my name with my identity, though I think going by another name entirely would confuse me.

A number of friends have been appalled at me being called names I don't say are my name. Which is really weird to me, although I'd go to battle for anyone else who was getting either deadnamed or called something they didn't want. But this perspective seems surprisingly common!
