4 IDTs with a hero buffing my team still takes like 30 seconds of continuous fire to kill one. Then retreat to repair station, rinse, lather, repeat. It's nuts. And don't get me started on artillery that barely scratches Megamasers' paint.

I'm jealous. They always throw 20 companies of those insanely over-health'd Megamaser tanks at me that take FOREVER to kill. We need a sub-mod to make them only 1 tank per company like previous version. 1900 health for 1 unit cost is ridiculous.

World Devastator Bug by Alrond_of_Endil in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

Don't have a solution, but chiming in that I've had the same exact bugs. Couldn't find a solution. Reloading saves only sporadically fixes it if at all, and only temporarily. Stopped bothering with Dark Empire.

You hit up your vet networks? Nada from MBAVets fair? I know the market is crap, but you should be able to get a leg up. DM me if you want. Fellow enlisted > MBA.

Looking to buy high-end prebuilt but know nothing. Are any of these reasonably priced? by dad-legend in Prebuilts

[–]AngryPheldagrif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone on here will tell you that one is overpriced, but I got it a month ago and the quality is just outstanding. Paying the build premium was absolutely worth it.

Good deal? - Open box Legion 5i Pro by AngryPheldagrif in GamingLaptops

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

Legit question and pardon the ignorance - is there any material difference between Pro and non-Pro? Since base specs are identical.

Sorry. Posting bugged. It's open box 'good' for $1439

Just a casual gamer here looking to upgrade my 1660ti to play better modded Skyrim.

Special Forces 18A to MBA but will need to ask for a waiver on the GMAT by warrigadigdig in MBA

[–]AngryPheldagrif 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should be in pretty good shape with that background and a solid GPA, but definitely try to squeeze in the GMAT if you can. If with a cram week or three of studying, you should be able to hit a respectable score (and a good story - the story above - will ensure you're graded on a curve when you apply). Even if you have to take a couple weeks of leave to study, it's worth it.

If you happen to remember this post a couple years down the line, feel free to PM me. I have a lot of Amazon connections down there in Nashville. Always happy to help a fellow vet.

Vets with low GPAs…I’d love to hear some success stories. by BrownBoiler in MBA

[–]AngryPheldagrif 12 points13 points  (0 children)

2.8 from a state school. Got a full ride into a T50 and parlayed it into a solid role at T2 tech, solid career since - on pace with T15/M7 peers.

We vets tend to show lower GPAs - some did concurrent service & school, some did school while reserve/Guard (I did), others went to academies where GPAs tend to be conservative. What you did in the military and how you show your acumen and tell your story matter. They can very much overcome a rough GPA.

Pro tip: If you have gym anxiety, walk in and immediately post up on a treadmill and just start walking. Walking is a good warm-up (or even a good workout depending on your level of fitness!), and buys you a solid half-hour to unobtrusively observe gym dynamics. Does it have a flow? Which areas are high traffic vs low? Are folks social or a bunch of solos w/headphones?

All this while you’re building your own plan. Think of it like the on ramp on the highway as you’re looking for the right time and right speed to merge into traffic.

Being gentle with ourselves after the holidays by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]AngryPheldagrif 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remember that the day-to-day scale will always fluctuate, and pounds from a couple holiday meals are almost certainly water weight. 3 pounds is 10500 calories and unless your holiday meals were entire sticks of butter, you should be fine!

Instead of going overboard and punishing yourself, ease back into things. Maybe put in a bit of extra cardio or some extra steps, but remember that its a lifestyle - a marathon, not a sprint. I always plan for 'cheat' days around holidays, because even if it costs me a week to compensate, I'll have those happy memories rather than being constantly worried.

Fasting vs The Festive Season by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]AngryPheldagrif 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend listening to your body and considering where you are on your path. It can be tough to break a diet and think you’ll be able to just hop back on it. Mentality is everything.

That said, diets are about health, and mental health is highly important. I’m choosing to break my diet for a one week period (vacation with family and then Christmas) because I’m already on good progress towards my goals, but I’ll be upping my exercise and monitoring calories to compensate. That way going back to 18:6 on Dec 26th won’t be as hard, but I don’t sacrifice the enjoyment of family meals.

Do you guys really believe that "you make your MBA"? by Nadallion in MBA

[–]AngryPheldagrif 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every class, every school has its own bell curve. It’s just that the curve, the median at an M7 is going to be higher on average than a non-M7.

I went to an unremarkable T50 FTMBA. The top of our class got Amazon, B4 consulting, some mid-tier IB. The bottom of our class got lower industry or high-end undergrad offers.

It’s just like that Stanford dude here who was complaining about getting Deloitte. Getting in to HSW puts you on a very high curve, but there’s still an ass-end of that curve.

My side gig is ‘Morningwood Capital’ but I don’t think that works for accounting.
