Why Did I Start Blogging? abrekkoc, October 11, 2023October 11, 2023 It felt like talking about why I started blogging as my first blog post would be meaningful enough. Not that I look for a specific meaning in doing so, actually this whole effort of shaping up my ideas in written format is the result of focusing less on the meaning, outcome, circumstances, or any other parameter and putting my perspective into creating more. Since the beginning of my college journey, I’ve been mostly focused on learning everything about my interests. As my interests grew more by numbers, it became impossible to leave my amateur title and become a professional in some of them. The worst part about this was the fact that I hated being an amateur. The thrill of learning new stuff is a joy for me without question but not being able to present the newly obtained skills or knowledge due to the lack of perfection is not a great feeling. The thing is, I noticed that I can share stuff whether I am a professional or an amateur since the Internet is pretty much a playground for both amateurs and professionals. So, the decision has been made, whenever I feel like sharing, I will just do it and won’t dig too much to find perfection. Photography is one of my amateur hobbies I also happen to be an expat, so I might have some cool stories So there was not much of a thought process going into this new journey since the whole idea was about eliminating that. I hope to come up with some interesting posts that might eventually end up having the interest of a community. Currently, the professional topics that I wish to touch upon are localization and the games industry, and to narrow it down, it will be mostly about game design and quality assurance. There are many interesting topics that I can talk about and the depth of them will vary from some superficial thoughts to full guides and how-to posts. I am also open to any suggestions, complaints, corrections, and these sorts of social interactions since the whole point of putting my thoughts out here is to be able to interact with more people. I hope to come up with new posts as often as possible. I intend to keep this post as it is, even after many years, to keep my starting point as a memory. Thanks for reading my first ever blog post that is not an assignment or job! General
Somewhere in between burnout and lack of self-discovery October 17, 2023October 17, 2023 I remember the first time I had this interest in localization. I was tinkering with… Read More
