Missed chance to be a school legend and initiation of a career launching arc.

I think if designed in a way where it’s subtle when off/low and at appropriate times can be activated on-demand, that would be great.

But to be in a crowd of people all dressed the same, all graduating as well, having a gaming PC on your head might be too much main character energy.

If you go to a bigger school, they have multiple graduation ceremonies. Split the rental amongst anyone who does not share a time slot with you.

That’s what I did and people acted like this was a genius move. No, I am just broke.

Worth it, nicely done

I skipped the graduation ceremonies for my BA and my first master’s degree. For my second, apparently the cost of a cap, gown and hood was included in the tuition so I have academic regalia sitting in a box somewhere should I ever find myself in need of such, a scenario I cannot imagine ever coming to pass.
