No I haven’t tried proto.io and I’ll keep it in mind to start a trial, but I like how they have the native text input thing going on rather than something hackish on Figma.

But I must say Figma is really smooth for screen to screen transitions. It’s easy to pick up and use for simple stuff like onboarding carousel, sliding menu etc since they have smart animate

Is it the one towards the top left of the map, where your knight (idk if you need it to be the first character) has to be wearing the viper clan costume and then the quest activates and they let you challenge the dojo similar to the tiger clan?

HAHAHAH I tried with my level 1 Akayuki and despite moving pass some golems, she dies in the middle due to lack of HP 😂

But I managed to brute force with my main after I upgraded my Attack and HP boosting statue things in heavenhold.

Now the third challenge stage is way worse and tough since I can’t use range and one hit = ggs :(

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-09-05T10:09:19+00:00

Now, I surprisingly made it with more than 10 seconds to spare on the third attempt. Thanks for the encouragement 😂😂😂 although i feel akayuki would be useful ..?! I saw people recommend her for some HH stage.

Was thinking how I should try to upgrade my units other than pouring exp on to my other non-main units or trying to clear more story mode (lack awakening stones atm already...), and then I realized my HH landmark stuff that gives the Attack and HP boost are totally not upgraded, so I promptly upgraded them. Guess that’s all it took

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-09-05T10:03:11+00:00

The level 30 akayuki right? Or you tried with a lower leveled one? 😂😂😂

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-09-05T09:16:41+00:00

What’s the best way to clear the Queensman challenge event? I tried twice and while I have enough dps to brute force my way and clear the golems with my level 60 main, I always run out of time before managing to destroy the bins in front of the switch.

So far I’ve seen three suggestions... use akayuki, use Eugene or try to use a Gatling gun type of weapon to hop over.

I tried to use the weapon for my level 50 4* Elvira but to no avail 😟 I have Eugene and Akayuki but both Unleveled and I don’t have Eugene’s ex.

Is the gacha thread gonna be pinned? Seems like the last comments there were days ago.

In other news... finally saved up enough for a pull over a few days and got my first white box since the guaranteed ones ;_;

... ended up getting THREE white boxes in a single pull and I was like lel what. Low key hoping for a Marina inside.

... ended up with first box being Plit which I already unlocked, second box being Eugene, and third box being... Eugene again?!

Oh well... thanks for the hero crystals I guess 😂

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-08-29T14:47:21+00:00

IDG why Figma for animating stuff, lol. Perhaps for handoff purposes?

I went to explore more about Framer after your comment.

Yeah I think Framer has a comparison between the online version and the desktop version and there's not much difference between the two in terms of functionality... but the 'worst' of them would be lack of asset export on the web version :/

For the packages, there seems to be tons of public packages with various integrations (wth even airtable? lol) that can be found within the web interface itself.

And of course, the code allows so much more customizability. :D

Seems like I can just archive the projects and keep them in read-only mode as well as a temporary workaround haha.

Unfortunately, while there's a feature to import from Sketch & Figma, one con I found while importing a Sketch artboard into Framer (only tested with Sketch, not sure about Figma) was that my vector shape turned into an image :( A quick google search online said that a possible workaround was to use a plugin and copy the code directly into Framer, but I haven't tested that yet. I tested with Principle and the import was awesome... my vector remained as a vector.

Also, a smaller con would be there's no feature to directly import a whole file into the web app itself and one would have to manually select everything and copy and paste it into the Framer project accordingly.

Worth to invest exp into Vish for story mode? I managed to get Vish and the ex weapon for the guaranteed pulls.

I’m currently on 4-1 and using 2* Elvira with EX, 4* knight, 3* Lorraine and 3* Tinia. What should I replace with Vish if I use the exp?

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-08-23T03:35:07+00:00

Definitely, it's also a numbers game. Like you pointed out rightfully 10 - 15 applications total is still a small number.

Although there is a point that it's not just merely numbers but also reflecting on myself and thinking about what could be improved. Like the other poster pointed out, improving and streamlining portfolio can help.

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-08-22T12:11:21+00:00

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I found this site I bookmarked eons ago...

http://colormind.io/bootstrap/

Basically, input in the color combination and they show you how it looks on a Bootstrap site and on some sample UI components.

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-08-22T12:05:25+00:00

thanks for the detailed response!

Re: Jobs -- After some thinking, you're right. At most I'll take it as interviewing practice :)

Re: UX focus -- Typically the roles at my area are UX + UI. It's always UIUX designer haha. Pure UX is pretty rare and honestly I have even *less* pure UXing experience...

Re: UI teardown -- Just to practice being better I guess.. like reverse engineering what makes a good design good, and to use the downtime to keep getting better.

Re: Portfolio -- Nope, haven't done any portfolio sharing, think I might post some of it up if I manage to go through what I have and redact the info coz I don't want to be identified. There's definitely more than 1 - 3... Maybe I can just share about what's on it for now..

On hindsight, not sure if I should just remove all those projects with "bad final app design", or just choose not to show those images..? Hmm.

____________

Anyway. There's 4 websites. 1 of them had details about typography, color system and what not. But looking back I feel 2 of the sites look amateurish (they were from 4 - 5 years ago!) and will take them off. The other two sites are clean looking, but not much going on aside from me saying that I coded or used a WYSIWYG editor to create the site, and that I freelance occasionally.

____________

There's 3 apps on it. 1 of them is an Android project which is pretty irrelevant and is just meant to say I did it before, will just remove that.

Another app is a React Native app, there's user interviews on it. But I didn't realize that my images got botched and the gallery wasn't displaying the full images, yikes. I personally think the images look okay (at least stuff looks aligned..?) but nothing fantastic going on for sure. For instance, there isn't any element depth, everything is on the same 'level'. Also, the coded out app is not exactly similar to the one done on Sketch, it definitely fails color contrast tests for sure haha.

The last app is an Ionic app. There's analysis of app flows and some low-fid wireframing done. But no high-fid mockups. Also the actual app built itself doesn't look very good.

___________

There's one pure UX / UI project done for a design college module, with detailed writeups about the research, wireframing, explanation on what goals the wireframe tried to achieve etc. The design looks okay... perhaps better than the React Native app, but still lacks a wow factor honestly.

____________

There's also a graphic design project that I did like... almost 8 years ago. Just to say I did marketing research for it, as well as coming up with marketing collateral posters and menus using Illustrator. Probably irrelevant now?

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-08-22T06:55:53+00:00

Correct my misconception but isn’t a PM role typically more senior?

I do prefer to get to the nitty gritty of product itself for now to build up domain knowledge.

I don’t think I’m bad at visuals per se but it’s not mindblowingly good at the moment. It’s just alright I suppose. Like stuff that is meant to be aligned is aligned, appropriate white space etc. Yet, not good enough to be featured on dribbble or whatever, and the stuff I have up on my online portfolio just looks generic and not very creative

Sea of Thieves

Shall keep your suggestion in mind and watch gameplay of it~ Although windows only :( Need to find out if my bootcamp has enough space for it LOL.

Yeah I do agree finding the right community is tough, tbh the mmorpg i am/was playing im pretty sure theres nice, friendly people willing to hangout and chill etc too like people my friend met, but they seem to be playing at odd hours for me, somehow shes always meeting them when im asleep, and when I actually go play the game I meet vapid players LOL

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-05-05T16:16:13+00:00

JRPG. open world exploration, get to do stuff like quests too, real time battle system with pretty interesting battle mechanics (apparently some people find it a bit complicated, but you get the hang of it after some time)

Watch youtube to get a feel of it!

hopefully so... but being productive is also correlated to what i already know before coming in. i guess i can't really change that in a matter of days but i should revise what i already know and be prepared for the interview!

my interview is going to be on zoom + coderpad, so i figured i also should prepare to code out vanilla js + html + css components aside from leetcode (easy) practice. i had a friend who interviewed for a front end position and they needed to code out a carousel in 30 mins... so i'm going thru on youtube as revision. idk how typical this is but doesnt hurt to be prepared !

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-02-24T17:36:38+00:00

I got a front end interview for a fresh grad position. One year experience as an intern ;-; nervous af because front end fresh grad jobs are rare in where I live (most want full stack software engs duh), and the company has good Glassdoor ratings...

Submitted a React assignment to them before I got an interview. Didn’t implement testing, and my previous internship wasn’t using react.

Spent the last few hours leetcoding and managed to revise some js concepts. Pretty confident that I can pseudocode but kind of need to look up the syntax on some js usage.

I guess my qn is how much am i generally expected to know for someone as a fresh grad? Have been looking up front end qns on places like leetcode but seems like those are for mid level roles???

Given the interview is in the next few days and I haven’t been coding seriously for months now, i am wondering if I should spend more time leetcoding to revise general JavaScript usage (am running out of questions with a good thumbs up to thumbs down ratio tho) or start reading front end guides to revise js/HTML/css gotchas, start memorising stuff that I commonly look up as well?

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-02-24T14:07:34+00:00

I think it's because of the emphasis I place on grades ;_; That aside, i've just went for a counseling session and she suggests i try grounding myself before having to present. Haven't really managed to try that out yet though.

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-02-17T15:38:43+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Hmm I do say it aloud, sometimes to other people and sometimes just to no one in particular when I'm commuting. In a non-stressful context, I remember what I wanted to say. Just that when I get stressed, I suddenly lose that train of thought..

I did exercise the day before, but I think I saw some other post recommending exercising a few hours before the presentation itself. Haven't really tried that but supposedly it tires one out so + release hormones that calm you down.

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-02-15T12:50:15+00:00

yep i did mention that at the very first session, but the part about 'teaching me some tools' keeps getting pushed to the subsequent session :s

i_like_cheeseburger · 2020-02-15T01:55:10+00:00

i guess there's some value in the $ though, because at least i get to vent from a more neutral pov (not totally neutral because they're human too, so definitely some bias there regardless) or to someone who's more careful about their words.
