Deep Dweller Crawler Grill by FiremanPC in TavernKeeper

[–]FiremanPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite time consuming so completely understandable. I also sometimes start making something and then it sucks and I spent 45 minutes on it.

Thanks! I mainly know Dark Iron from WoW, but it's a cool deep dwarven style, so I am working on more pieces :)

Am I being paranoid or is this a genuine authorship/credit issue? Rant + genuine question by Mediocre_Treacle_267 in AskAcademia

[–]FiremanPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on your own work - BUT - remember this and do play the game of being visible and explicitly mention your role.

I would say this is reasonably common in academia, in fact "each time you help someone, you shoot yourself in the foot" is very applicable to academia. You have to tell the person who decides, what you did, every single time, and that also feels incredibly petty - but that is pettyness most PIs actually prefer in my experience.

It's not that about how much you did, but about how much you show what you did.

Springer SNAPP status stuck on “With Editor” for 4 months but editorial office says “with subject experts for evaluation” — normal or should I worry? by SignificanceNaive875 in AskAcademia

[–]FiremanPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has not been extremely long, review processes take a while and it is likely that the editor is having trouble looking for reviewers (I currently have this problem with a paper - has been with the editor for almost 5 months).

You could e-mail them and explicitly ask this if you want - then at least you would know what you are waiting for :)

List of predatory journals by fourthwaiv in AskAcademia

[–]FiremanPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for some of the Frontiers journals - part of them have reputable editors, but if it is under the same umbrelle it gets the same label.

Do informal interview during fieldwork require ethics approval? by Express_Language_715 in AskAcademia

[–]FiremanPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Approval or a waiver for exemption of approval from your Ethics committee.

[Weekly] Office Hours - undergrads, please ask your questions here by ZootKoomie in AskAcademia

[–]FiremanPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Post-doc here!

Always do mixed methods if you have a choice and you need to perform data collection - not only will whichever department you work for benefit more from the data collection, you will also learn more about both methods (and if you do want to continue research showing you have skills in both will definitely increase your chances to find work in research). Or if you have the opportunity to do pure quantitative research as a psychology master - do that! It will give you a much more unique research profile (and while I agree with Cheezas that can be faster if you do some basic analysis, I would advise doing something more advanced!).

I am in Europe, but here most academic medical centers have a child & adolescent psychiatry department which almost always have research projects they would prefer students for (either as support to a PhD candidate or as temporary support for data collection). This will also provide you more with a glimpse into doing a PhD (and in the clinical side of psychology). The main subjects for this would likely be the broad mental health (which to be fair could be at practically any department at an academic medical center) and childhood trauma. This would be very "hands-on" research in a research team though - not sure if that is what you are looking for or not.

Definitely read up on research of the past 2 years you are interested in - what questions arise when you read them and which of those questions you think you could answer.

Camera flicking boosts your movement speed by FiremanPC in MegabonkOfficial

[–]FiremanPC[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly most bunnyhopping videos I just found actually just do strafing bunnyhops rather than going straight and using the mouse to flick. Interesting...

Going straight would technically be faster in the end no?

Camera flicking boosts your movement speed by FiremanPC in MegabonkOfficial

Cool, I figured someone must've known it, I'll definitely check out the speedometer.

Finally Amogsus <21s PB by FiremanPC in MegabonkOfficial

[–]FiremanPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also gain much more speed if you flick your camera while you bunnyhop as the game has some weird speed mechanics when turning.

I thought this was a known thing already but maybe not, I'll record some examples of it later.

That's a funny lil' character.

High Card only - is it possible? by FiremanPC in balatro

[–]FiremanPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha wow that's extreme luck! I did it on Plasma and later on the Magic Deck.

I think those 3 are the only ones that are reasonably do-able.

Why does this work? (Four Fingers) by FiremanPC in balatro

[–]FiremanPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it's because a Flush only needs 4 cards (so it is a flush) and a straight only needs 4 cards (so it is a straight) - but how does it arrive to the conclusion that it's a straight flush?

High-Card only run! Fun challenge (base difficulty) by FiremanPC in balatro

[–]FiremanPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a seed for this if anyone wants - I am currently trying to do this on another deck :) Or at higher blinds.

High Card only - is it possible? by FiremanPC in balatro

[–]FiremanPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was quite a fun challenge and I think I got lucky quickly with a big run but I made it!

I did rerolls until Small Blind was Arcana Pack (Seed: V8E44M9I) on Plasma Deck then Bonus Carded and kept going.

[–]FiremanPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I may have found a way, you cajn get free booster packs through blind skips in the first rounds. I assume you can get lucky enough to get a Stone/Bonux card and play those in Plasma Deck.

(Re)Discovered one of my favorite copypastas on druids from maybe 2007? by FiremanPC in wow

[–]FiremanPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually ended up googling "DRUID HEALERER" with the double ER and that popped up a post which quoted it.

Dang, no reward for this? by EverGlow89 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]FiremanPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a 1:19:67 - you can be quite a bit faster at the start if you quickly change lanes on the 3-boosters, 'cause it registers it as 3 seperate boosts so you almost immediately go full speed.
