Feedback Thoughts

So recently I read two articles about feedback, so I thought I would give my feedback !

A meme about Feedback, taken from Here
The first article is called "A fixed Mindset could be holding you back ", It's very interesting article and I couldn't help think about how video game tie into this. As when you died in video game or fail a mission, you're usually encourage by game or by yourself to try again. This makes you think about different way to approach the problem, learn from your mistakes and improve your skill with said games. I think video could encourage a growth mindset, as it's about learning from your mistakes and becoming a better person.

Really interesting article never really thought about fixed or growth mindsets before. I hadn't even heard the term before either !

The next article is called "Why is it so hard to hear Negative Feedback ? " and this was less so interesting. The article was about how to give and receive Negative feedback, while it's good advice. It's also a short article with no in depth explanation. Also base on my experience, people tend who to give you negative feedback, also avoid you, for example: I have one leader who always criticize me, some valid, others not so much and she rarely talks to me, won't even say hi to me. So if she avoiding me and is constantly criticizing me, why would I be more accepting of it ?

As the article admits that it's boils down to "trusting that everyone is participating in good faith." and sadly not everyone does. Some people don't act in good faith, but that doesn't mean their criticism isn't valid and the opposite is true as well. I feel the article is taking a complex issue and only taking one 


Fun Fact: as I write this I'm listening to a song call "Critical Darling", Ironic.

Unity tutorial 06: Thanks Google and Unity!

FINALLY I'm done this unity tutorial ! Oh my god you have know idea how long this took me. First Chrome decided not to work, like at all, I don't know since it wasn't my wi-fi or laptop since Firefox work fine for me, so why ? No idea. Cheers Google ! Screenshot taken by me. Oh and the Unity video froze again , then it crashed. I feel you buddy, screenshot taken by me. So how did the tutorial go ? Pretty good actually, once unity stopped messing me around, I actually didn't have a bad time. I guess my only problem is this error which I can't figure for the life of me what it's on about: Null Reference ? What you on about Unity ? Screenshot taken by me. Seriously Unity telling me Null Reference is like telling me my Dad wants me, I've no clue what you're talking about. Anywho apart from this error, I feel like this was the most useful tutorial so far, the others were great for getting back into things while learning a few new tricks but...

Unity tutortial 07

Another week, another unity tutorial this time I'm not following along with Jimmy Vegas' tutorial series and instead following another series of tutorial to learn how to put an inventory in my game ! In particular, this video  Unity Inventory UI Tutorial  which is a 3d inventory ! Thank god, every fucking tutorial I looked for inventory were for 2d games, not 3d. I did find a blog as well but when I did try to follow along, it didn't go so well so I decide to ditch that and found a 5 minute video. Working on my inventory, yes I'm using my JV tutorial world and turned off fade in, Screen shot taken by me. Now it's confession time and I thought I would say this : I miss Jimmy Vegas. Yeah his tutorial weren't great but some of these tutorial go really fast and you just have no idea what is going on. That's why for my next tutorial I did Jimmy Vegas RPG tutorial #024 Boss Ai  ! Unfortunately Jimmy's Video is part of a series and I don't really w...

Reading 5: Writing the Body

Hello and welcome to my blog. Yes today I'm gonna write a normal blog today and yes this is Sarah. Want proof ? Only Sarah P. A. Hammond could get a reaction off a pair of wish's sock and now has her feet in a bucket of water. What other idiot could do this ? Photo taken by me Anyway let's talk about writing the body, to be honest I didn't have a clue what to write, however I know from writing Fan fiction, just go with it, that writing isn't the important thing, it's editing that improves the work. If you think about how in film, you get footage but it just footage, you need to edited it, to turn it into a film and the same goes for writing. So I knew if I have something down instead of nothing then I could edit it later and make it better. Trust me here lads, you can tell a fan-fiction is bad when they clearly the writer didn't edited it and uploaded it straight away. Anyway I began to write, the only problem is, I couldn't stop ! I was on a ...
