Hello World!
I'm Legends Media

I had almost a 100 games on my mother's phone which had like 2 or 4GB space max. I'm still not sure how I achieved that feat having 20mbps internet speeds.

I fondly remember games like Hill Climb Racing, Fireboy Watergirl, Bob the Robber, Papa Louie's games, 3 Pandas, Temple Run, Subway Surfers, Taxi Rush — and there were many more. I absolutely loved playing these and imagining my own story, especially in open world games. In Extreme Car Simulator I would run a taxi service.

But after a point there were just too many games — I started exploring other ways to keep myself entertained.

Midst COVID it got really boring. My poor tutor had to hear that nonsense watching me play the wrong thing over and over for hours. Once my 4th grade was over, I just quit.

I wrote, directed and acted in my own videos. (Some shamelessly plagiarized from popular videos.)

They were cringe and had barely 20 views, but it had me learning a lot of the basics: video editing, audio narration, script writing, the acts of a story, lighting, cinematography and a lot of film making principles.

20 views. Barely. But I learned more from those videos than any course could've taught me.

Upon this journey I came across a peculiar piece of software called Blender. I saw the first Blender Guru tutorial and installed version 2.79. It was free and open source (idk what open source means but sure must be a good thing).

I started watching tutorials left and right — modelling, rigging, animating, keyframes, materials, modifiers, rendering, mesh geometry, physics rigidbody simulations, and particles.

And the director peeped in again. I tried to make many short films in Blender. I had an idea, I'd get to modelling — it would look kinda crap — so I'd just give up.

This is a recurring theme.

We were writing a huge "book" with like 10 stories within the story. While working on it, he kept asking to make a game. I made the art for the game (spillover from the animator era — I was learning pixel art) and he would code it. On seeing my character — a robot — move on screen with my input... that was bliss.

I found a great tutorial series by Brackeys and chose Unity. I didn't know how to code, but I followed along, made a cube game, and entered the Kindred Jam. I mindlessly copied the entire code step by step. Slowly, I started learning the patterns and the reasoning behind why lines were coded.

Truly, your creativity and technical skills are the only limit. You could do ANYTHING. I loved the freedom in that.

When I saw edutainers on YouTube like Veritasium, Kurzgesagt, and 3Blue1Brown, I saw a beautiful field full of logic. The piano is one of the most beautiful engineering marvels, and seeing planes fly over my head every day makes me think about human brilliance.

My love for electronics coincided with my game dev passion. Embedded systems and controlling circuits was literally magical. The same electricity that operates my fan runs my computer, doing millions of calculations based on turning current on and off. Combined with mechanical structures, it keeps satellites on track and transmits info via glass wires (fiber optic cables) across continents.

Seeing the rescue missions, flood relief programs, the badassery of fighters defending the country — Service is what I want to do. I'm gonna be an engineer in Aeronautics and become a pilot.

I never played any sport seriously growing up. I liked running, I liked the concept of working as a team to achieve a common goal. Hmm, goal... that's it, I'm gonna start playing football ⚽.

I went to an academy to build up the discipline and have a proper learning path. I threw up the first day I went there. The running was too intense. But we pushed through and after like a year — I could kick a ball now 🥲. I thought I would become a baller with master control, but you don't get things that easily do you.

I was pretty consistent till 2025, after which I had to focus more on academics and I quit the academy. After that I went back to my dork era — but even without practice you wouldn't be as bad as before.

Regarding my fitness — I'm built just like Cap. America. Before the serum though.

I learn new territories, explore, create a few things, then move on to the next thing but carry over the knowledge of the previous ones. All of these belong in the same space if you think about it, and interests tend to come in cycles.

It's like an RPG with permadeath.

So the music era begins again. I wanted to make music and just jamming around on my trusted keyboard, I got a tune I liked. I tried out a few DAWs like the free trial of FL Studio and Reaper following my explorations with Chrome Music Lab. I also tried composition way back using Bosca Ceoil.

But I tried out Cakewalk by BandLab, made a jazz lofi track and showed it to a few close people — and they kinda liked it! To take a break from academics and to keep the creative side going, I started making music whenever I had free time.
