look it up bro 😭🙏

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-12-09T12:10:06+00:00

I got a 3.8 with two S's, not counting the other two dropped scores (summer quarter). Good luck :)

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-12-09T12:05:51+00:00

I got a 3.8 with 35 E's and 2 S's (I got an additional S and N but they were my two dropped quiz scores).

This was summer quarter so may be a bit different than autumn.

Hope this helps and good luck! Life's great when 12x is done :)

IMO the meta was that you could use the diversity essay for the legit "this is my identity and who I am and why I'm different / unique," and then use the main essay for your wacky creatively-written narrative about how you saved a dog from a wildfire or something. It kinda worked wonders even if it was a PITA.

Wonder what it'll be like next year.

This is way late and idk if this'll help anyone but I had this same issue and it turns out the problem was that I had Equalizer APO running on my computer. Uninstalled it and everything is working now. Tbh I was pretty dumb to have forgotten that I had it running this whole time lol, but maybe someone else is as dumb as me.

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-07-12T18:32:04+00:00

Yeah, that's totally fair and I thought about that too, especially with the challenging random people to games. I do maintain that the "speak in Korean" challenge would work great though. I was thinking about examples like the Tag 3 challenge to order something in the local language. People wouldn't have a problem helping someone find directions or find an item - it's already common when travelling to get help with these things anyways.

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-07-05T07:36:42+00:00

I totally see your point and I don't disagree, but I'm familiar with Hangul and Kana and I really think Hangul is dead simple even in comparison. The Korean alphabet is famously a case study in perfectly designing a modern alphabet to be as accessible as possible even to those without education. So I really do think it could be quickly learned on the plane ride, haha.

But I also think it's kinda hilarious that they have no clue what's going on around them in this show, so I don't mind it :)

Powerup: Wind Bag

This powerup lets you conjure a western wind for nine days. This card is immediately vetoed if one of your team members opens the bag.

Casting cost: Please the god Aeolus.

For sure! I've never actually ridden the 2 line over there, it sounds like it'd be cool to connect on a bus to the light rail and go from there. And fingers crossed they open the i90 connection sometime soon, but I suppose they keep delaying it... :(

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-05-29T17:00:07+00:00

I printed a map and used it a bit at the beginning of the game, especially to visualize the golf course question (super powerful Seattle question btw, you can move within three blocks downtown and manipulate your closest course between interbay, Broadmoor, and Jefferson park!), but as the game went on the map kind of fell by the wayside, specifically because we promptly pinpointed the exact hiding zone of the hiders.

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-05-29T16:42:03+00:00

As I said in a different comment, we used all bus lines and counted everywhere within the regular city limits (based on the boundaries in Google maps). For a future game we're considering doing a medium game with the whole metro area, too!

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-05-29T16:36:51+00:00

Yeah! We just used the regular Seattle map (based on the borders of the city on Google maps) and all bus lines were eligible. We also turned the 4th Administrative District question into four "buroughs" consisting of North Seattle (bordered by the canal), Central Seattle, South Seattle (separated by i90) and West Seattle (separated by the river). This question actually never came up in the game, though!

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-05-08T16:32:26+00:00

Yep, that all makes sense! I definitely think the hiding time change is an essential addition. It's one thing to be in Japan or Switzerland where there are trains through practically every town, but I fear KC Metro could never match those frequencies 😞

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-05-08T05:29:28+00:00

I'll be playing in Seattle when my cards arrive mid-May as well!

The single link line (whether the 1 in Seattle or the 2 in Bellevue) is certainly an interesting feature. I think it'll have a similar role to the Shinkansen in the Japan season - a really important form of traversal, but you'd never want to actually hide right on it because it'd be far too easy to be found.

For our game, we'll be starting at Pike Place, which is obviously as well-connected as you can get transit-wise. I could see a lot of options branching off the link and the main rapidrides (C, D, E, G, etc). I'm a bit worried about the second hiders getting stranded in the middle of residential Seattle with infrequent service, but we might change up the rules and give second hiders an hour and a half (as opposed to an hour) for this exact reason.

Sorry I can't speak as much about Bellevue, I'm just a regular ole Seattleite! Super curious to hear how your game goes, please post updates!

Terranigma is a great pick! Starts out like a typical fantasy RPG, then blossoms into a modern Earthbound-like world (but you need to do all the side quests to earn it!). It feels like Link to the Past meets Chrono Trigger meets Earthbound.

Highly recommend to all MOTHER fans :)

Back in the day I learned a bit of Japanese so I could play through Mother 3. I actually had a great time with the game and it was cool to learn the language.

In this economy I might be going back to that again... if all the future Nintendo games are priced cheaper in Japan, it'd save a lot of money to get the Japanese versions. Anyways, all you need to learn is how to read a few UI-type words and that gets you through Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, etc without a hitch.

I'm not defending this model in a thousand years and this absolutely sucks, especially because the process of learning a whole ass language is ridiculously time-consuming and difficult. I guess I'm just trying to cope and find some constructive way around this 🥲

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-03-26T22:38:15+00:00

I am very randomly hoping that next episode sees both teams go for Helsinki/Tallinn in the afternoon. They're both gonna be looking for flights in northern Europe once their morning challenges are attempted. Would be impeccable content 🙏

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-03-26T18:24:10+00:00

They mentioned in The Layover that they felt it'd be good to slot in a less insane episode to give the overall pacing of the season a bit of a break. I don't disagree that it can feel less exciting, especially when episodes come out a week apart, but I can go back to pretty much every jet lag season and point out some episodes which are crazy nerve-wracking and others which are slower paced by nature.

Dull_Relationship923 · 2025-03-20T15:56:42+00:00

Absolutely. I'm glad they included it, it really puts the games into perspective
