I'm actually glad you posted because recently I've been starting to think that no one really read my scrapbook. ^_^" It's actually really funny you mention that because my brother is into computer game development and is working to get into that field. He talks to me about it all the time and I am really interested in it. It's just there aren't any game developing classes at school and such and because I'm in video and photography classes and I've learned a lot more about it, I've grown more attached to it than game development which I haven't been able to fully explore yet as of yet.
But yeah, I totally understand and agree with what you're saying. I've been kinda tossing around the idea of doing a tech job as well where it's more of a sitting down job and thinking and developing (not saying that game design is a desk job or anything) and such but I didn't really think about it during that post.
SPEAKING OF REPLIES! I never replied to Estre. O-o Now I feel terrible, I totally thought I did.
I'm actually super glad someone read that post as well because that's a topic that affects me almost every time I go into chat. Because every time I come into chat I always end up in some debate and sometimes it turns sour, so I'm glad that you understand what I meant with all of that and can relate (not that being able to relate to people thinking you're mad is a good thing).
I understand why chat rooms can make it difficult to understand whether or not someone is mad, but I think it's funny when people blame the text and say that "it's hard to tell emotions through text". I mean, what are words and writing for then if you can't see emotion in it? Like, how can you know what someone feels in a story unless they blatantly say it unless words in text express emotion?
I don't know, I just think it's funny. I think people say that because when they're actually talking to a person on an instant messenger like chat they have to comprehend the text quicker and therefore feel the need to comprehend the emotions behind it as well. And when we try to do that quickly so we can reply then that makes us assume things and often for the worse. Because when you're reading a post or a novel it's pretty easy to tell when someone is mad or happy unless the author made it hard to tell, but then again, you can read that at your own pace and comprehend it at a speed that allows you to fully comprehend the text while you're on a "time crunch" when in a chat because you have to reply and stuff.
But that's a tangent for another time. XD
