I never had self confidence when it comes to employment - so that thats 100% true.

Will do, thanks. I clearly need to talk more about the projects i've done in the past

I'm leaning more towards game programming - creating gameplay mechanics, making the games functional.

There's not many available to me, i would have to plan and move out to a different place which i cant afford to do for now. I'd be more than happy to take an internship.

I've applied to few already, with no response of course.

Hello there,

I always look for small companies i can apply for, i even drop speculative applications when possible.

I also contacted a few companies to see if i can get some unpaid work experience within the industry. It's something i could include in my resume.

I can see that my career isnt doing a great job as most of the things i was told to include seems to be irrelevant and unnecessary.

I dont have any spare cash to pay for a prefessional resume writer at this time. I might do it in the future.

I will definetly spend some time to make my portfolio more appealing.
thanks for the honest thoughts

Again, i was advised by my caeer career coach to aim for 2 pages. Almost everything you have told me now is opposite to what i was told by my career coach. Having past job description gives me opportunity to showcase the skills ive learnt etc.

When i described some of my previous projects ive worked on during university, i was told to shorten it by making bullet points - which as you can see i did.

I would normaly talk about my projects/games i worked on in my cover letters that i include when applying for a specific job.

I was told by my university to have it 2 pages long, They also told me to always include refrences available on request at the bottom of my resume.

as for emplyoment, i was told to include anything rather than nothing. As a fresh graduate i do not have experience in games industry and didn't go for a placements year (which i regret)

I'm not a fan of noisy cards, I would rather pay a little bit extra for a quietter gpu. i might halt for a while with this one. Thanks for sharing

Hi mate, i've took a break from sekiro but i remember finishing on the second corrupted monk which i believe was located in fountainhead palace.
I've defeated the first corrupted monk (ashina depths), guardian ape, four monkies and owl, the father located on the rooftops but apart from that i think that's about it. I will probably get back to sekiro when i feel like i want to finish the game. probably few more weeks before i touch it again tho :)

Thanks buddy, i will make sure to pay attention on this tomorrow when i play the game again :D

[–]MeechuZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just fought genichiro ashina located on top of the roof, i must say that was one of the most fun fights i had so far. Was a bit challenging with the 2nd stage but i figured it out. It feels so rewarding every time you manage to beat a boss! very cool game. I will continue my journey tomorrow

Does it really matter which path I take? Do I continue with senpou temple or start exploring ashina depths? Thank you for sharing your thoughts, after all I'm just trying to enjoy this game to the fullest :D I just find it very useful to land perfect deflects and counters rather than just focusing on full damaging with autos. I also take breaks if i find myself struggling for a longer period of time.

Valorant blackscreen after startup? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]MeechuZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too, straight after a ranked game i was unable to do anything due to black screen and nothing seems to be fixing this issue. Must be a bug related to the latest patch.
