A community that I believe I am part of is the gaming community. Iâve been gaming since I was a kid. Thereâs many gaming communities you can join. Discord is a good place to join gaming communities to find players to play with. You can also find applications in the app store where you can find players to play with. Nowadays gaming has become competitive. Everyone shares the same goal of being the best player/gamer. Thereâs tournaments that only the best of the best can participate in and win a huge amount of money. The âlanguagesâ that I learned in this community is âNo lifeâ which according to a Google search means âOne who does not have a social lifeâ, âHeâs One Shotâ which means the enemy player is 1 hit till theyâre eliminated, âGGâ which means Good Game usually used after a game/round finished and âAFKâ which means âAway From Keyboardâ used when youâre going away from your computer. There’s an endless amount of gaming phrases.
Another community that I am part of is a game developer community. In this community game developers help each other out if they have an issue solving a code/error or trying to achieve a goal. Thereâs game developers with different experience levels. Some are very experienced developers who help out new developers who donât have much experience. I myself began game development as a hobby a year ago with zero knowledge. I self taught myself with youtube tutorials and with the help of the community. In this community everyone shares the same goal; To create an amazing game that gamers can enjoy. The âlanguagesâ that I had learned in this community are words such as âFunctionsâ, âInstancesâ, âEventsâ, âLoopsâ, ect. These words sound random but game developers know what they are and what theyâre meant to do.
These are two good DCS to choose from! You’re one of the few students I’ve had who really talk about the gaming community language as a whole, which I appreciate. Whichever way you go, you already have a great start.
