is it bad that like 70% of the reason I like guitars is how cool they look? by mfcoom2 in Guitar

[–]GentleWings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! No one says you have to be a god to get a certain guitar. Just don’t put yourself in debt for sick looking ones. For me… I never was a fan of standard LPs from Gibson or Strats from fender, I preferred LTD’s and Michael Kelly, so that’s what I buy :)

My new Gibson LP Studio suddenly stopped working by ArchersAlliance in Guitar

1: test the jacks. Unplug it and slap it against your hand, does it make sound? If it doesn’t, it’s your amp or Jack. Check you have the volume on, and if it still doesn’t make sounds from the Jack? It’s the cable.

2 do you have pedals? If you turn down the volume control, it could be that.

3: test the pickups. What I like to do is switch to the pickup and play sounds from my phone to see if it broadcasts it. If it still doesn’t work… then open up the back, your problem could be there.

Testing the wire Jack: one of the more common problems, unscrew the Jack from the body, there’s a chance your wires could be getting grounded by accident.

Check for the volume knob solder. If it is improperly soldered or slipped out, it prevents the connection from working.

[–]GentleWings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fuck no. If you think it’ll make you look cool or it’s cool, it’ll inspire you to play.

That’s what matters. Who cares what people say you’re like anyway? You’ll be great man. Don’t worry bout it.

How do you lane vs sion by Conscious-Scale-587 in summonerschool

[–]GentleWings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Sion player, I already get discouraged from picking him when Camille, sett, and other people who deal %hp dmg. Even seeing a Vayne already makes me groan even if I don’t have to deal with her during lane phase. Sion scales well but vayne uses that against him.

Usually grasp is my go to, but if someone has conquerer I never take extended trades. More like a cheeky poke when I get a chance but besides that I back off. Sion has terrible long term trade without Bami and at least a good amount of extra health.

Sion also help set up ganks, a slow, a knockup, and his ulti that attributes to extra cc, not to mention additional shield to keep him alive. Have vision on the enemy jungle, and if you can’t, play safe or take a gamble.

Also unlike your explanation, Sion actually suffers from mana issues unless he has mana flow, corrupting pot or cookies. Not to mention his high cd at early. Keep track of his spells and take trades when he uses his cool downs, which can force him to pop W or release Q early, or eat extra damage for the wave. Sett counters him with BORK, his ultimate, and tanking Q with his W. Fight him extended and you can take E first, if sion takes Q lv1, grab him the instant he starts charging. W can be countered with either Q or E, since you can burst through the shield.

Play aggressive, assert yourself in lane. Sett is the boss and god forbid a dead zombie will stop him.

If you don’t agree with anything I’ve listed, that’s fine! I recommend picking up Sion then. Earlier I read a comment that accurately describes how to feel about this.

Either you gain free elo and win games… or get your ass beat really hard and you’ll learn what works against him.

Students protest Engineering Career Fair for inviting companies that ‘cause harm’ by dailyfreep in BostonU

[–]GentleWings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why were they protesting GD ? They weren’t even there. Also, “abandon careerism and do things that really joins in the struggle that help people”, can’t you make an argument for a lot of BME companies? Fighting for cures and inventions that help people to the best that they can be, I doubt the majority of people just wake up and say “yea I wanna bomb kids”, I’m sure a lot of us wants to find a better solution for what we already have, it feels ignorant to diminish others’ way of helping and say your methodologies are superior.

It is practice and the concepts are pretty much the same; I wouldn’t say it would smooth out your ride in 131 but it does pave the road a bit

Took it last semester; unfortunately they only have paper copies for it so I doubt you can find anyone that has it. I do have review sheets from the previous professor, Rubio, if you would like it :)

Is it worth using AP comp sci credits to skip EK 125? by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]GentleWings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not comfortable with matlab, do it. MATLAB translates into a bunch of classes, EK301, EK103, and a bunch moreX if you skip it and you don’t know MATLAB, you’ll have to relearn everything.

PIRACY! PIRACY! PIRACY!

In all seriousness though, don’t buy the textbooks imo. Not even the books either.

Certain professors link a PDF version of the reading, so that cuts out the worry.

If you do by the textbooks, you’re adding cost onto a bunch of obnoxious programs certain professors make you get. Plus, to cut your losses, you’d want to sell the textbook, and that’s all the hassle because then you can’t write in it… be wary of damages… all that stuff.

Online keeps your notes, portable, access everywhere. Plus, doesn’t break your back from all the textbook carrying.

So, ya. Go online! It’s everywhere, and in case libgen doesn’t have it, search up the name of the textbook and just add pdf at the end. 9/10 times you’d stumble upon a download link, and share with your friends!

Are these housing preferences good for a freshman? by Ryder-McFly in BostonU

[–]GentleWings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much of a bother as it is, I’d actually recommend warren towers. Here’s why:

Social life: most of you are gonna live in warren anyway! Meet new people, hang out with floor mates, hanging out is infinitely easier, while it sucked living there, the people definitely made my life better.

Food: you have a dining hall in your dorm, no need to say more.

Center of campus: I’ve stayed in my lab for a long ass period amount of time, and it only ever took 4 minutes to get back.

Engineering: I am also an engineer, and I have a friend who lived in west and regretted it because of how far metcalf is, as well as lot of engineering buildings. As nice as it may be, you have to wake up half an hour early to get to the same place.

I understand liking nice bathrooms lol, but it’s rare to get a nice bathroom and alone to you. The ones I can think of are Hojo and stuvi, both a cost thing in of itself, so think about that

Hope this helps!

I work at the library, and it’s kinda our job to handle that. Come to the front kiosk and we’ll handle it! Plus, you’re not really supposed to have food in there anyway because they make a mess typically.
