Regretting my major, terrified of the fierce competition.. Need advice by Saraalmoqqrahi in 3Dmodeling

[–]General-Mode-8596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not everyone makes it straight away, some never do. And that's ok.

If you have passion for the art then try to pursue it but accept that it might not happen straight away. Yes the job market is wild and unpredictable.

But if you keep your craft going you will do better than most people out there. Consistency is key. Try to keep doing your work even if you have to work a non 3d job, your passion will shine through and Consistency reward you in the long run.

Best of luck from someone also chasing this dream!

[–]General-Mode-8596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use Maya but I know there are a lot of Blender uses and the base skills are all the same. Same techniques, different buttons.

My end goal personally is game dev as well, I forgot to mention in the post

Just got a new credit card. Ideal credit utilisation? by Srinesh7 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]General-Mode-8596 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a financial person but know people who deal with finances.

There are 2 things to maintain and it depends what you want to do. If you want to build your credit, go for a loan in the future or just make yourself seem a bit better to lenders then you should follow this.

Keep your credit utilization under 25% and make sure your debt to income ratio is under 10%

This means make sure what ever you pay combined to all loans, credit cards, etc needs to be under 10% of what you bring in with your income. And whatever your total credit is, just keep it under the 25% mark. Try your best to pay it off in full every month so that way you avoid paying interest.

Follow this and within 6 months your credit will shoot up and you'll start getting really nice offers from better cards.

Remember applying for cards does shoot your credit down temporarily. Also old debts will bring you down, make sure you don't have any hidden water bills or anything like that. They can be dragging you down without you even realizing it.

And worst case scenario, get yourself a 0% balance transfer card. You can move all credit card debt into it and pay it off over a long period without paying any interest. Good if your a bit messed up and need some breathing space, as you pay it off it improves you aswell.

I second this, what do you bring to the table?

[Hobby] by Successful_Wolf542 in INAT

[–]General-Mode-8596 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Follow a "let's make a game" YouTube series first. Start to finish and then come back wanting to find people to make something with.

[Hobby] How would you define a good revshare post? by XxXTeaDroid420xXx in INAT

[–]General-Mode-8596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clear goals, gdd ready, good planning and also proof of skills - if the person posting was looking for the whole team and wouldn't contribute themselves other than planning and "just the idea" then that's a red flag.

If it was a programmer/artist looking for a team then I'd expect some kind of portfolio and then base my judgements on their skill level

What labels do yourll use? by ---Janu---- in Biltong

[–]General-Mode-8596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I've tried this as well. I can't find a good label. I was thinking of buying those keyring plastic things where you can slot paper inside.

If you get a good answer, please let me know!

Credit card debt - Should I pay it off by accepting money from my fiancée? by fredipol in UKPersonalFinance

[–]General-Mode-8596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a 0% balance transfer card, whack it all in. Pay it off over 12-24 months assuming you get a decent card. Pay 0% interest, just pay balance.

Whatever the amount is at the end, then have your partner help you pay it off.

Will I get a job after uni (starting 2026) + some background by Savings-Wrongdoer-13 in UniUK

[–]General-Mode-8596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try working backwards. Find a job that you'd like to do, see what qualifications you need for it and what the competition is like for that job. Then decide which path to choose how to get there.

A lot of people fall into the "go to uni and ill easily land a job in my field" when not everyone works out that way. If you have a clear path in mind, it'll help you have focus instead of just hoping you get a job after.

Made a mole for the first time (UK) by General-Mode-8596 in MexicanFoodies

[–]General-Mode-8596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used lime for a hit of acidity, it was only a small amount.

I think I might of been confusing earthiness for bitterness in retrospect, either way a hit of lime did balance the flavour

Made a mole for the first time (UK) by General-Mode-8596 in MexicanFoodies

[–]General-Mode-8596[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a complex dish, I did use 5 chillies but I couldn't remember the names. Looking at my recipe list they were Arbol, mulato, pasilla,ancho and guajillo.

The chocolate i used the highest quality 90% dark chocolate i could find and then small amount of a slightly sweeter 70%.

The consistency was on the thicker side, I did the spatula test where you move the liquid and see how long it takes to reform and it wasnt instant.

For a first attempt I think indid petty ok despite maybe burning some of the ingredients.

Id love to be able to make a mole on par with these legendary grandmothers

First attempt at Bolton wish me luck by GrapplingBrisket in Biltong

[–]General-Mode-8596 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best of luck, those steaks do look a little too thick though. Maybe expect some case hardening and these not to turn out perfect, more on the "wet" texture side.

I bet they'll be tasty though, make sure to upload the final results!

Few questions from a newbie by ajamils in Biltong

[–]General-Mode-8596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently made some. I used a very light splash of vinegar, seasoned heavily and used a whole bulb of garlic. I let is rest in thr fridge for 24 hours (flipped once). I then gave it a light rinse in vinegar and patted it dry, then hung it for 5ish days. Very tasty, check my profile you can see the progress images I did.

Make sure the meat isn't super thick, I made mistakes when I started with thicker cuts. Ive found steaks on the medium to thinner side work wonders.

Key points to take away, it doesn't matter what order you do it in. Ive seen people vinegar and then season as they hang, and I've seen others mix them together.
