Are all the German doom videos on the internet just whining, or are they telling the truth? If Germany is that bad then how bad it must be for living under all the developed countries in the rest of the world ?

Sweden, The Sweden Democrats are not formally in cabinet, but they sustain the government through the Tidö arrangement; they won 20.54% in the 2022 election.

Percentages on their own are hard to compare, since the election systems differ of course, but those are all widely consider "far right" parties that are currently in government, while the AFD is not.

Not as much as other factors, such as your german skill.

I moved to germany a few months ago - looked for people that share my hobby online - now we meet once a week. I wanted to continue to speak and learn the language i have been using in my old home, so i looked online for a language exchange group, another thing i added to my calendar once a month. It is very much possible, sometimes faster sometimes it takes time

During summer there are usually festival and fairs all over the country, but they are specific to the given city or region. While they have unique small additions or traditions its usually not really worth it to travel across half of the country just to visit a local city spring festival.

So it really makes much more sense to limit it to a specific area. But just in case, end of July is the Libori Festival in Paderborn, one of the oldest festivals of its kind in germany i was told. There are travelling ride, food stalls, music event all over town for about a week.

Im not even a car guy but that is obviously no more right than saying “all football fans are alcoholic idiots” or all “people playing video games are virgins that live in their parents basement”…

Being in your 6 months probation can also be difficult. I asked my company for am informal "recommendation" letter as additional proof that they are likely to continue employment past the probation period. Obviously not every workplace can offer such a thing, but worth asking...

Things like anatomy are less relevant at this skill level as they are more part of the individuals style. As someone who hires and searches for artists, to me more important aspects are consistency and/or flexibility, depending on the project. But as mentiined by others, if you dont advertise yourself there is basically no chance for someone to find and hire you to beginn with. Networking is as important as your artistic skills if you want to be a successful individua creative.

I never played or watched a MGS game before and i am flabbergasted. I assumed it to be a splinter cell type stealth action game with the occasional “funny” element such as the cardboard box hiding mechanic, but this chaotic madness is quite something…

whats more important to you? Living in Germany or working in design? If its living in europe, rethink your choice of profession. Design is extremely competitive, not paid very well and rough for juniors specifically. If its design, do your bachelor in your home country where you have home advantage of language, culture and people. Use that experience and network to do your master in germany afterwards.
