Hi, I'm Arda4888!
I'm Arda, and I'm a Turkish guy who loves Visual Novels, Progressive Rock, Video Games and Music. I also like Manga and Anime too but I don't read/watch that much. Oh, and I also love everything about electronics and computers. They're my biggest enjoyment since the age of 4 (at least my mom says so).
I'm 17 years old and currently studying Japanese since I plan to live and go to University in Japan. I'm also studying game development and programming. I also plan to study Music Theory but we'll see how that will turn out.
--Japanese Progress--
I know Hiragana and Katakana pretty well. I also know a few Kanji but the thing I'm focused on right now is basic grammar.
Top 5 Greatest Bands/Singers of All Time:
1. Yes - They're a really, really good progressive rock band with some of the greatest songs ever recorded in a studio. (Their live shows are awesome too)
2. Erkin Koray - A Turkish Singer with some of the weirdest songs ever made in Turkish Music.
3. Barış Manço - One of the three people who made Turkish Rock actually listenable.
4. Jun Senoue - I love his guitar playing. But the reason I love him so much is well... Sonic the Hedgehog, of course! But I think that will be kind of an understatement. It's best to say that I love Sonic because of Jun Senoue and Sonic Adventure games' OST.
5. Crush 40 - It's just surreal to think that they made a band just for some blue hedgehog's music and it worked.
Top 3 Greatest Manga/Anime of All Time
1. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8: JoJolion - It's certainly the series peak. It nails everything; the story, the fights, the characters. I just fail to see why someone would consider this part to be "bad".
2. One Piece - The Greatest story ever told. The story, the chracters and almost everthing about it is perfect. But I don't enjoy it as much as JoJo (though I still enjoy it to a great degree). So I have put it in the second place.
3. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable - Who would have guessed it? The guy who loves Part 8 also loves Part 4. The reasons why I love it are as the same as Part 8... Plus Yoshikage Kira, the greatest villian in JoJo.
Top 5 Greatest Games of All Time
1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Genre: Metroidvania) - It's rare to see a genre defining game to be its best. But SOTN is the proof it can be done.
2. Dragon Quest 11 S: (Genre: J-RPG): Dragon Quest is a weird series. It defined a genre but then evolved minimally so most people said it was generic as hell. But now, because every J-RPG is so different than each other, DQ feels like a breath of fresh air. In short, play it.
3. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (Genre: Visual Novel): One of the greatest pieces of fiction, ever. I really thank Shu Takumi from the bottom of my heart.
4. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (Genre: 3D Platformer) - Best Sonic game ever. It'd be super cool to see a SA3 but it's best to enjoy what we already have.
5. Age of Empires 2 (Genre: Real Time Strategy) - Peak RTS game but one thing that really made me fall in love with this game at the time was Turkish voice acting. It was a first to me and would remain so until I played Uncharted 4 years later.

There's something that I don't like about car racing, but if the story is more than that I guess I'll try it in the future but in the meantime I'll try to finish these seasonal animes before I bite the dust, you know? Lmao.
Anime in the meantime, I'm trying to finish Uzaki-chan and proceed to Nagatoro-san. Yeah, I know I'm hopeless in love so I try to watch others fall in love lmao, and get teased I guess. I'm actually not planning on watching Initial D because I don't like the concept, seems boring to me.
Oh btw, I'm online at discord every now and then. You can message me anytime you want. I sometimes watch movies with friends lmao and play games. So yeah.
But in the meantime, I'm watching movies with friends in discord together to pass time. So yeah, my life is currently frivolous.
I saw that you develope games. Which programming language do you use?
