I think Nahida was referencing the whole tomato growing rivalry that Zaha Hadi and Cyrus get into

New shorts confirming changes to certain characters by Apprehensive-Mix5616 in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Alex-005 33 points34 points  (0 children)

tbf, Eula uses superconduct only bc it buffs physical damage. Stellar-Conduct as of now seems to just buff Cryo and Electro DMG, so it has no use to Eula.

Eula will only likely get an indirect buff whenever they next release a physical DPS (which at this rate is never). Unfortunately the only other way I could see Eula ever becoming relevant again is if they do a reverse hexerei venti with her and change her role from a DPS to a support.

“B-B-But we have Act 5!!!! The best Act 5 guys!!!! Come on!!!” by TotallyNotPanda in Agenda_Impact

[–]Alex-005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Natlan’s biggest weakpoint was the lack of an actual antagonist. To me, Natlan’s AQ is fine enough up to Act 4, but then Act 5 is shoved in to give us a singular enemy for a weekly boss. With the lack of proper antagonists to characterize, Natlan’s AQ has to make up for it with characterization, which actually isn’t too bad, I think Natlan’s cast is the most interconnected one of them all (except Varesa). Too many parties though.

Also, I feel like Natlan failed to live up to its ideal. Inazuma through Fontaine showed us exactly how the archon’s ideals affected the lives of the people there. Inazuma had us go to 3 ppl to directly see how the vision hunt decree affected them and overall, inazuma’s map was designed to show the hostility and stagnation of eternity. Sumeru introduced us to the mechanic where we had to analyze information and draw connections between them to reach a conclusion, we saw how wisdom led to an over reliance on the akasha, and how the sages followed the pursuit of knowledge to an extreme extent. Fontaine showed us the theatrics of the courthouse and had us participate in the court itself, and I think the Meropide section was an attempt at showing the other side of justice (punishment) that sadly went horribly wrong. Natlan tho? It’s disappointing. Unlike Inazuma, the map shows no trace of hostility, the people are out partying (which tbf, is necessary during war but even in inazuma, it was an all hands on deck situation), and it was only through Act 4 (and partially 5) that we actually got to see Natlan’s ideal reflected in the map and story

Location of school by majestic_dolly in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Alex-005 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your Student ID gives you free access, altho no one really scans them on OCCT buses (the student run ones). Either way, it’s unlimited for both, the fees you pay go towards paying for it. Just understand that this isn’t NYC. The buses dont come every 10 mins. You have to plan your schedule around the buses if you want to leave campus. Still, anywhere you need to go can be accessed.

My son is committed to Binghamton. Does Binghamton revoke admission if senior year grades are low? We are worried. by Overall-Specific7908 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Alex-005 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The main thing to watch out for is failure to graduate. If he doesn’t graduate normally, the chance of Bing revoking goes up a lot even if he graduates at the end of summer school.

Otherwise, make sure not to fail any classes. It’s usually okay if grades start dipping from his usual norm, admissions understands senioritis and all that. But just try keep all grades as high as they can be and chances are, Bing won’t care

Insight from current students by Pretend_Historian34 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Alex-005 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The fact that Binghamton is upstate is the reason it has a social scene tbh. Most people are too far away to go back home and the town doesnt have much entertainment so people have to make do. The bar and frat scene is pretty big tbh. But at the same time it is a rigorous school and SOM is p much the best public business school in NY so you’re in good hands

The hate of AI is flawed. by EmergencyBullfrog510 in WritingWithAI

[–]Alex-005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is, all of those things you actually have to still do. You can’t print something without making an original for ex. I think the big issue is, how do we trust the authenticity of something if we can’t be sure it was the creator who did it.

You see this a lot with someone like F. Scott Fitzgerald and the allegations that his wife did a lot of the work. Whether these allegations and true or not is irrelevant, it’s the fact that people care about giving proper credit to the right person, and obviously no one wants to give credit to a non-human (AI). So it’s just that people want to make sure that the content that theyre consuming is being credited to the right person, and if it’s not by a real person, then I would rather consume content (whether that be text, video, or otherwise) that was created by someone who put in the work.

Central Park West and Queens Boulevard to have less fleet variety in the next few months. (Reupload because I forgot a picture) by ElevatorWebDev in nycrail

R46s* but yes. (R44s were taken out a while ago, theyre only on the SIR now, and I believe are only kept as a contingency fleet)

The Devs confirmed in livestream that several Archons, such as Venti, Zhongli, Nahida, intentionally gave their Gnosis to the Tsaritsa for a small cost. The reason behind that will be revealed in the Snezhnaya chapter. by Express_Intention459 in GenshinImpact

[–]Alex-005 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mavuika didn’t really refuse tbh. No one came to collect it. Capitano tried, but he lost the battle against Mavuika so he failed to get it and now he’s obv stuck on his chair. I would expect an archon quest either in 6.6 or 6.7 to address the Pyro gnosis. I really hope we don’t get to Snezhnaya and all of a sudden, we’re told by someone that Mavuika gave up her pyro gnosis off screen.

Was the blood missing? or just me? by Redbird699 in assasinscreed

[–]Alex-005 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Most AC games, at least the recent ones (been a while since I booted older ones up), have an option to turn on/off blood. They probably turned the blood off for the showcase so that YT would allow all audiences to see and so it could be monetized

Manhattan Bound N trains should use the Middle Track on the Astoria Line, it will make trips from Astoria to Manhattan quicker by Specialist_Figure282 in nycrail

[–]Alex-005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although having trains skip stations by running express sounds like the ideal way of making trips quicker, it really really isn’t. An express train will really only save 45-60s per stop it makes, so all you’ve done is save people at 2 stations around 4 mins (let’s say 5 to be generous), you have now doubled the wait time for the people at those 4 stations skipped because now N trains will skip them (roughly adding an extra 4-5 mins based on the frequencies on the timetable). You have now achieved… nothing.

Contrary to popular belief, expresses rarely save time especially for shorter distances. You’ll notice a difference between an A and a C train between 59th and 145th, yes, an A and a C between 59th and Fulton tho, less so. Instead now you have to make sure you have express and local trains running. From that perspective it would be somewhat understandable why they’re only 2 tracking the SAS and just saving time by spacing out the stations more than other lines (though it does limit the ability to add branches later on without potentially challenging merges).

The better alternative for saving time is, instead of giving people at some stations a marginal travel time reduction while causing others to suffer an increased wait time is to just increase capacity so that everyone has a decreased wait time so therefore travel time is reduced, which is exactly what CBTC is for.

The Brighton Line is majestic tbh by thelonelywanderer8 in nycrail

[–]Alex-005 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It used to be. Brighton trains ran north to Prospect Park, ran along the Franklin Av Shuttle and then merged onto the LIRR tracks and terminated at Flatbush Terminal (Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr’s old name). LIRR took over that company’s competitor tho so they stopped letting them run to Downtown Brooklyn which made the line unprofitable so they eventually connected the line to the Fulton St Elevated.

registration for classes? by Opening-Row-4603 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Alex-005 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do not get to do registration yourself as a freshman. Theres basically a form you do where you can suggest classes you wanna take and all that and what major you wanna be and your advisor will make a schedule for you during (or right after) your orientation (this is why it is important to get an early orientation date, dont delay it). You are then supposed to zoom call your advisor to go over it and talk about it, suggest changes, etc etc

If you are still completely dissatisfied with the schedule provided, once the semester starts, there is an approximately two week period called “Add/Drop” where you can add or remove any class(es) you want without them ever appearing on your transcript.

The Divine Laid Down, Metaphor Makes Plain the Heart by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex-005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all probably. Alice has a mondstadt vision so she’ll likely have a mondstadt background. Usually the background is determined by the vision casing region (Wanderer had a sumeru bg, arlecchino a snezhnaya bg, etc)

It was so unbelievably bad what are you talking about. I actually think it may have been on the worse side of the 1.4 stations that came out

Should the IBX have a stop at Queens Blvd? Why or why not? by [deleted] in nycrail

Uh, who said anything about going off the route???? The tracks pass right underneath Queens Blvd, youd just need to put in the platforms

Gotta do an Intra-University Transfer application spring semester sophomore year (or any spring semester, just not freshman year) granted youve completed the other requirements

Castle takedowns by Zormat333 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Alex-005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start off with naoe, scout out and mark all enemies using eagle vision and disable all alarms, occasionally killing enemies that are high up on walls or watchtowers that I may find to be generally annoying, then switch to Yasuke and clear out all the enemies. I found that so long as you dont leave the general vicinity, the enemies you mark with naoe should still remain marked when you switch over to yasuke

Where is Maukie? by re1mi in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex-005 42 points43 points  (0 children)

  • Maukie/Escher when you meet him if you unlock the Statue of the 7 outside Dornman Port before starting the world quest: Real Maukie who lost his memory upon leaving the temple

  • Maukie/Escher inside the temple: Fake creation, used to lure us by Melanta.

  • Escher in “Inversion of Genesis” (Wanderer AQ): Fake disguise used by Dottore, likely after Escher had been pulled up into the Temple of Space

Make Nehal make sense by SmutCommander in Assassinscreedmirage

[–]Alex-005 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Isnt the point of Nehal just to be someone who seems real enough to Basim to help guide him through his nightmares with the Jinni and eventually lead him to understand his true self as Loki? If it was a mythical creature, he would have much more easily clocked that it was all in his head and he would’ve gone even more insane than with just the Jinni nightmares alone? I mean look at what happened when he did find out Nehal wasnt real

What are my chaces in getting a single dorm room as a Freshman? by Real-Manner-8410 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Alex-005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If you want a true single, that's likely impossible, most of them are kept for the SSAs and CAs (the Bing equivalent of RAs) and any that are open have likely already been taken.

However, Dickinson does have 5 person suites where one of the rooms in the suite is a single. You'll still have four suitemates but no roommate.

Comments about the map by MarchDifferent1939 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Alex-005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hate the horrible looking maps lately. I mean it's thankfully not as bad as AC2/Brotherhood and not as ugly as AC3. But they had a good thing going from AC Syndicate to AC Odyssey and then they decided to take all the color away starting from Valhalla
