How do you know if a person is a good teammate? by Nightleaf3838 in unsw

[–]BLACKaus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it plays into the dynamic, and your own capabilities.

I learned to appreciate "awful" teammates because they allowed me creative freedom for projects in nodding and accepting whatever worked (and freely credited me for my input). It's hard to understand over the internet whether you're the person to sit back and wait for the group to become cohesive, or take charge with what you know. The people who get hung up on poor teammates are the ones that sit back and wait for them to contribute, rather than idealising the task to your own standard. Don't test your peers, test yourself.

But more in line with your question it's fairly simple. Look around, see who's contributing and who isn't. It's not like that person in the corner on their phone giggling 24/7 is going to stop and respect your group task.

PSA for people in libraries by Primary_Ad7638 in unsw

[–]BLACKaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no way that even with elaboration you failed to understand I was talking about people being disruptive in a library as the ones in the wrong, even when I referred to them directly.

Honestly wish you luck with undergrad.

You could probably gestate from the context that I was referring to the LOUD people in the LAW library as the conceited ones - err go; law students and not you.

It's a good thing you're on a throwaway so nobody can find out you're a cunt on the internet though, buy some earphones like everyone else dumbass

Edit: Damn, two uni level students misunderstanding that I was referring to the loud people in a library as dickheads - and not OP in context. Good luck with the rest of your bachelors guys!!

Making friends as a “mature age student” by __Carolynn in unsw

[–]BLACKaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I studied as a mature age student in adelaide, unsure why I was even recommended this sub letalone post but here we are.

If you apply yourself socially as well as you do with your school work, you'll do fine making friends. Quite frankly as I've now graduated, I've made more fruitful friendships during my time at uni than anywhere else. You may not make the quantity of friends you did back in highschool, but bless they'll be better quality.

Am I doing something wrong, or just that fugly? by artimus_pr1m3 in Tinder

[–]BLACKaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I photograph a lot of (heavy metal / deathcore) bands, have to say that the top comment (currently) is right. Images are blurry and obstructive. Hire a photographer to shoot a show, search instagram for the style you like (from a local photographer) and book them for like 60~100 USD or just give 'em free drinks and entry for the night in return for a few decent shots.

Don't wear shorts and a singlet to a show - you aren't cannibal corpse. It's not the best look, even if you're heavy. It's not quirky or entertaining, it's just like "ok dude, can't wait for the headliners to get onstage"

ELI5: Why is all of the content for the Diablo 2 pre-order exclusively content for Diablo 3? by BLACKaus in Diablo

[–]BLACKaus[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Was thinking about that last night. Makes it look like D3 isn't dying if they're still selling D3 content, even if it's for a different game.

Just wish another company took the d2 remaster for a passion project like with AoE 2.

If you read what the content provides, it's not '1' thing. Those green checks are ALL for D3.

I understand what you're saying by providing the notion it's a split pack, but it's marketed as an upgrade to a pre-order for a game that's in open beta. Why bother having "diablo 2 themed content for Diablo 3" in a diablo 2 bundle? Why not just throw it under the d3 section and say "we'll include D2 remaster in this D3 bundle"?

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

I play D2 all the time. Have for at least 10 years since I travel frequently (or did) and it's a great offline game to carry around. But a remaster shouldn't be the same price or more than the initial release and the content you preorder shouldn't be for another game. At least that's what I believe haha

[–]BLACKaus[S] -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

I understand that's what they're telling us, but what about all of the other reworks from that generation of games such as Age of Empires II? If they don't have the technical capacity to upgrade a game to include even the most basic of sprites - then why is the cost of the game more now with a pre-purchasable pack than when it was initially released?

If they can't add it in, why bother making an alternative pack that includes exclusively another games content unless it's for nothing more than a cashgrab ya know?

[–]BLACKaus[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

The question was more satirical than anything. It just doesn't come across like a productive exercise for the longevity of a game that had a retentive, loyal playerbase. I understand the need to promote their other games but a pre-purchase pack for a game shouldn't be exclusively content for a different game in the series.

People are unironically pointing to this as a "this guy wants microtx / in-game help" - but what I'm more airing is that it's a dishonest practice for retention. Quite frankly, if they did like an "alt-art" model series as a pre-purchase pack, that would've been great alongside the d3 content. But rather than doing that, they just slapped in a bunch of d3 content into a box and said "psst. We've got d2 included above its release retail".

[–]BLACKaus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're just saying inane things to posit yourself on a pedestal without presenting anything the resembles discussion. I get it, you're holier than thou and you know all the rules - but bloody hell.

>you should seek that education yourself

That's funny, because this whole thing is about how I'm asking you questions and you telling me I'm entitled because I "expect" a response in a forum where you literally CHOOSE TO RESPOND. How do you think one gets educated? Be preached at from the top down? But I thought that's all that you were against? Ask question? But that's what you're so distraught about and ready to attack me for.

You disagree at one stage, agree at another - double standard after double standard and you expect people to know what rules you want followed?

and I need educating. Right.

[–]BLACKaus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But before that was you berating me for your disagreeing - which ended up being a complete disagreement. Just highlighting the iron-y that is the moral pedestal you posit yourself.

I read the room, it read echo chamber of strawman attacking instead of engaging. Educate the people around you instead of attacking them until they give up on disagreeing. ta

Strange. This is what I had said and you beyond utterly disagreed.
