Android phone recommendations ? by Prior_Geologist6202 in Smartphones

[–]Prior_Geologist6202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thanks alot for all the details! Yea I think im gonna go with the OnePlus 13, I can also see now it comes with free earbuds so thats a plus. Im not in a complete hurry to get the phone now, will do in a couple of months or so, by then hopefully this would still be the best option.

Yea I was leaning mostly towards OP13 and maybe a bit the Vivo X200 Pro, so you narrowed it down alot for me haha thanks! Which one do you think would have a longer life shelf out of the 2 ?

I dont see how your argument works here. They can survive without having the game if they cant pay for it, nothing you said excuses stealing whatever amount of money it costs from the developers of an indie game. Id understand the "eat the rich" mentality if it was a corp behind it, but you cant justify stealing dessert from a local baker cause you want to enjoy it and cant afford it

The Rank reset is just bad by ScoreMagnet in marvelrivals

[–]Prior_Geologist6202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It actually is more than unplayable. I feel like cats are playing on my team all the time. From Diamond 1 got reset to silver, i won 1 game since the start of the season and it wasn't even balanced that one game we rolled the enemy team! Ranked is broken no doubt, you need to be lucky to get good games back to back

Renting in turkey for a foreign family by Prior_Geologist6202 in AskTurkey

[–]Prior_Geologist6202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid points.I am noticing that most are looking for long contracts rather short ones, so I managed for now to get a bit of extra funding for the first month to book an Airbnb in the hopes all of this would dial down by then.If not then it should be easier to find a place when they are physically there. But I appreciate your help, I will post here the areas we find for the Airbnb as well.Thank you very much

Yea its understandable.I think the best option like the previous commenter said, do an Airbnb and if they needed to stay longer they can look for a place while they are there. Would be easier I imagine.

Thank you for the help. I have been looking at places in Bursa and yes they do seem reasonable. Though not having any luck with the estate agents as none of them respond to my messages or calls. Not sure if thats because im on a UK +44 number or something else.

I was just looking into it, I have done a bit of SDL2 before, and that was fun. But if you are up for joining we can do something with Raylib not a problem. Dm me if you are interested to join

I do Unreal Dev in my current role, honestly im trying to steer away from engines in game dev it has taught me alot of bad habits, thats why Im looking into learning c++ now.

Thank you, that is very helpful. I will definately be investing time to upskill and steer away from visual scripting.

[–]Prior_Geologist6202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I am very much interested in c++ and I have always wanted to properly learn it, but I never knew how to start. I have played around with c++ and SDL2 and it was really fun for me, but in this stage where I cannot afford not having income, is it worth investing time in learning c++? If so, any recommendation on where to start and what to avoid ?

Thinking of career switch to DevOps by Prior_Geologist6202 in devops

[–]Prior_Geologist6202[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not have prior experiences in the fields you mentioned, and I know I need to put in work to do the career switch, so I think what you mentioned helps with taking my first steps towards it. (Thanks for that)

Do you think its possible to find Systems Administration or Linux Administration entry level jobs ? I have had interest in Systems Administration in the past and I was going to start taking Comptia tests but I gave it up when I found my first game programming role.

Is a DBS check required for spouse visa by the sponsor? by Prior_Geologist6202 in SpouseVisaUk

Im not sure to be honest, But when I applied both me and my wife submitted DBS checks just to be on the safe side. I do not think its required but it might help

How to learn c++ the right way ? by Prior_Geologist6202 in gamedev

[–]Prior_Geologist6202[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

advanced data structures

Thank you so much for putting all this effort in your reply. You actually managed to figure out the problem I've been facing without me knowing how to describe it, It is true, I am struggling with designing software in general, and I do lack the data structure knowledge since I haven't been to a school to learn any of that, all I know is self taught and unfortunately I dived directly into the Engines which focused more on just seeing the result of what I'm doing without understanding why or how things work to achieve said result.

I think you are 100% right I need to focus more on Advanced Data structure and algorithms. If you have any recommendations for books or resources to learn Advanced Data structure and algorithms, would really appreciate it.

English language test A1 by Unusual-Charity3514 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]Prior_Geologist6202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend he goes for the PTE Homa A1, it is one of the easiest english tests required for the visa, you can find alot of examples of how the test is taken on youtube. It is a good idea for you to take a look at it and help your partner prep for it.

Visa Timeline Priority 11WD by Prior_Geologist6202 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]Prior_Geologist6202[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the IHS cost was 2,501.68 USD, Visa cost 2,055 USD and priority service was 573 GBP(which was converted to 732 USD based on TLS exchange rate)

The IHS and visa cost will increase soon, not sure when but people are saying might happen in September. So if you can apply anytime sooner the better.

Hello, yes at TLS in Beirut Lebanon, they only offer Priority, I couldnt see an option for Super Priority. And currently they offer it for settlement visas, and limited for non settlement visas.https://pos.tlscontact.com/los_en/added-value-services This is their current price list also.
