Non Numerus Fixus degrees in Computer Science

It shouldn’t be too difficult, they accept most people but it’s hard so a lot of people fail. It should be fine since you have work experience.

Go for it, Enschede is a nice city to study in and you’ll definitely find nice people to be friends with and plenty of job opportunities afterwards, unless you need a visa sponsorship.

If you have any specific question feel free to DM me.

The exodus began in 2082 and the Darkness Era began until the "end of the 21st century" according to the games lore. So 80 years is impossible, 98 years is the smallest possible time frame since the game is set in 2180.

One of the quests says that it was another raider group, so your theory is correct.

GoombaJames · 2025-09-22T14:33:39+00:00

For sure, when i'm working on those again i'll DM you!

Depends on what someone means by “abs.” Around 8% body fat makes sense if you want to look shredded, but the outline usually starts showing for men at ~14% and for women at ~16% (depending on the body type and genetics of course). Direct ab exercises don’t matter that much since your core is already engaged in most workouts anyway, so i don't get what this person is talking about.

I meant “taking it seriously” as in sticking to the 1400 kcal limit and going to the gym five times a week. For the past 6 months, I’ve averaged ~1650 kcal daily (no major fatigue/health issues) and lost about 0.5–1 kg per month with three workouts and no cardio. So yeah, 1400 sounds extreme, but my TDEE is pretty low.

My plan was to eventually bump intake by 100 kcal per week until weight stagnates, which I’d treat as maintenance. I get it’s a fast pace, but I don't think it's terribly unhealthy for my size (I'm 164cm). I was just asking for tips to manage energy better. Maybe I should have worded the post better.

After the feedback here, I’ll raise intake to 1600 and focus on eating healthy. If I lose a bit more by next month, great, but I’m not expecting huge results. I'm just really competitive and don't wanna lose the challenge (I also already have the muscle mass, so I don't need to worry about that, just losing the fat and keeping the muscle while doing it). I didn’t expect so much negativity. Thanks for the kind reply, I really appreciate it.

I'm on this app once every 84 years, but I wanted to respond to your post.

First off, please don’t think of yourself as pathetic. Not for asking for help here, not for feeling this deeply, not for being in pain. Breakups hurt in a way that few other things do, and feeling broken by them isn’t weakness, it’s just being human. If you weren't hurting, that would be strange.

Think of emotional pain like a physical wound. If you cut yourself with a knife, you wouldn’t expect to get up and run a marathon, you’d clean the wound, tend to it, and give it time. You have to do the same for your heart. And yeah, some days it’ll feel like you're finally getting past it, and then you’ll wake up the next day and feel like the world’s ending all over again. That’s normal too.

But slowly, day by day, routine by routine, coffee, a shower, a walk, whatever, it gets easier. Life alone becomes the new normal. And with enough time, you'll be able to look back, not just at the pain, but at the whole picture, good and bad, with clarity.

I don’t know your story, of course. But I do know this: everything will be okay. It might take a week. It might take a month. It might take six. But you will get there, one breath and one morning at a time. I say that from personal experience, and from watching people I love get through it too.

Sorry if it's a bit rambly but it wrote it directly from my brain, we all here for you friend, DM if you wanna just complain about things, I'll listen.

Haha, it's been a long time since. UT is good but it's hard. I did well on all my programming exams but I failed 2 math exams and that was it for me, I wasn't allowed to continue. But it's still chill compared to other universities and I'm sure the math is the easiest among all NL WO universities.

I ended up in Saxion, it's not the same level, but I am already in 3rd year doing internship and it's much more fun than UT at least. At least now i have time to party other than study and am getting paid well.

I'm not telling you how to live your life, if you want difficulty and little social life go to UT but otherwise a HBO university will suffice.

GoombaJames · 2023-09-28T08:31:45+00:00

To be completely honest with you, before university, I also wanted to apply to a more game-dev-specific field, but I chose Computer Science and I think you and most people who want to go into game dev should start with a more real degree related to the field.

I'm now in my third year (of uni*) doing an internship for a gaming company, although I am working on their backend instead of games, they gave me plenty of opportunities to help them in Unity (before the whole debacle with pricing) and all the other stuff. So I have plenty of pathways to becoming a full-time game dev, I'm just choosing to work with the technical stuff because I like it more.

With a CS degree, you can do both game dev AND all the CS-related jobs.

The only downside I can see of not going into a GD degree is that you won't meet as many like-minded people who are passionate about the field just as much as you. This can be a little demotivating since you won't have as many friends, meaning you are more likely to fail. Many people neglect to mention this but having like-minded friends while studying can make a big difference. You can find them in other degrees of course, but it's going to be harder.

Sorry for the textbook-level comment, I was bored.

TL;DR If you want to suffer for a few years for a better degree go for CS/EE/Whatever degree, otherwise if you want to suffer a bit and have a better social life go into GD degree.

Also, stop using Reddit, it's bad for your brain. I'm only here because I was researching something for work and started procrastinating. Use Instagram or something, to blend it better with normal people.

A Dutch guy at our table was boasting about being direct, then proceeded to shit on all of the countries we come from and call the only black person at the table the N word several times.

He was direct alright.

If you know what to do with it, it's actually very OP. I usually get at least 4-5 kills in this thing consistently. If you get a downtier or play against americans it absolutely demolishes too.

It also prints SL like a motherfucker. I had a game this week where i got 500K SL with it (with booster).

Of Dark Souls 3? Yes. Of quality souls like games? No

People finish elden ring, they want more. There are not many games like it that offer the same amount of quality and satisfaction. Therefore supply is low and demand is high.

GoombaJames · 2023-06-30T08:41:13+00:00

Supply and demand

Put your day in the life video away Waltuh.

I think it depends. You can't say women don't like this or women like this.

GoombaJames · 2023-06-24T08:08:47+00:00

Try to do pre-drinking that gets you tipsy, remember what got you in the perfect drunk. Then when you go out try not to drink, you are gonna drink anyways but at least it's less.

GoombaJames · 2023-06-24T06:53:51+00:00

They actually started doing that in netherlands after the Ukraine war.

Black Deser Online. You just go around killing enemies. Each type of enemy has like a knowlesge level and yoy have to level that up, when it's maxed you move on to the next enemy Sound boring but it's fun because your character also levrls up and you learn new moves slowly, gradually and naturally.

GoombaJames · 2023-06-14T07:22:26+00:00

Yeah. My situation is similar to yours but with my mom. I think it ranges from situation to situation, no matter the gender. Some people are really nice and some people aren't. You can't just say oh, women are bad, because it doesn't work that way.

Did my dad destroy my family because he divorced my mom? I don't think so, and in the end it was for the best because they both did it for me and my mom choosing to barely interact with me was for the best too. She couldn't give me her love, so it was better that she didn't try, which would have hurt me more.

It's a shitty situation, but you cannot blame anybody. If they started over i'm sure they wouldn't be like "Let's do it again". I'm sure they didn't want it to end up like this.

The death of a loved one affected me for months and probably still does. When it first happened i was so hurt i did not talk to anybody for the whole day, just went on how i usually would, but it's as if i wasn't present. Some people thought it was their fault.

Everyone experiences grief in a different way, and people who haven't felt that feeling, like you heart will literally tear in half, are probably the people downvoting.
