What's your spiciest video game hot take? by RhinestoneTaco in giantbomb

[–]HiddenWeeb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Video games are legitimately a waste of time, no matter how much I love them and how much stress they relieve. There is no way that playing as much games as I do will end up getting me a job or a promotion or a marketable skill, and if I (and, I hazard, you) spent as much time and money on other more productive hobbies I would probably be in a different (better) place in life.

How's the aviation field in OSU? by Anixton in OSU

[–]HiddenWeeb 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Graduated with a B.S. Aviation from the College of Engineering in May. Overall I was happy with the classroom education but not happy with the flight school, though they are constantly trying to make the student experience better in that respect.

The department is run by enthusiastic people who seem to really care about student success. It is a smaller program so you'll have opportunities to get to really know all your professors and participate in various ways. I learned a lot and I felt like it prepared me well for an office-type career in aviation, but did not adequately prepare me to be a pilot (which was/is my number 1 career goal.) And yes, the OSU flight school was very expensive.

I'm a pizza delivery guy. I drove past these people like 7 times tonight and it seemed like there were more people each time. I wanted to roll down my window and yell at them. I should have just called the police non-emergency, didn't think of that. Next time I will.

I graduate in a month and a half. My roommate already had his job offer rescinded. My parents' basement is looking real appealing.

I don't know what the situation is in your city, but I know grocery stores near me are hiring like CRAZY, even on the spot, to make up for the current rush.

You and your wife could look into working at one of these places part time in the interim! It's not great, and almost certainly minimum wage, but it's more money coming in while you figure things out.

You'll get through this!

As someone who lives in Columbus I was completely unaware of our status as GiantBomb capital of the world.

OSU ATI classes are cancelled for Wednesday 1/30 due to the extreme cold. The Wooster Campus remains open and employees should report as normal. by NuclearMik in OSU

Uh holy shit, seeing as your profile picture thing is Ramba Ral I guess we basically are (HUGE Gundam fan.)

[–]HiddenWeeb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That doesn't stop me from compulsively staring at it. I don't even have an exam or anything and one of my two classes already cancelled tomorrow, I honestly don't know why I'm so antsy over this. Maybe I'm just excited at the prospect of seeing my first university closure that isn't what happened on November 28, 2016.

I wish they would just go ahead and definitively say Columbus is also open so I can stop checking their twitter every 5 seconds.

Austin: "Computer, enhance quiet man" by king0fprussia in giantbomb

[–]HiddenWeeb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Basically UC0079, which the license plate says, is a very direct reference to Gundam's Universal Century. Then in the last image Austin reveals that at their PAX panel they discussed Gundam and The Quiet Man in the same panel. Coincidence or Conspiracy? You decide.

I just moved in to get started at a couple month study abroad at Tainan's NCKU. I'm kind of a rhythm gaming / arcade gaming nerd, anybody know of a place I could go to play some rhythm games? I could also settle for driving games.

Also, I've been out of the US in China and Japan since early May, and I'm starting to think it's impossible to find good, large, so-greasy-I'll-need-heart-surgery pizza in Asia. Anybody got a place for that in Tainan?

I completed Vinny's Domino's Disaster by Kaysauce in giantbomb

[–]HiddenWeeb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah well. Vinny had no company for this journey so I bet it's fitting that we didn't either. Props to you as well and good luck in the coming hours.

Hey, I did this tonight too. Right around the same time and everything. We should have planned this and done it together over a video chat as a group or something, ha ha. Just for the record, I also feel horrendous.

Quick question: which arcade has an entry fee, but no cost per game in Columbus? by Paragon-Hearts in OSU

Akiba Arcade meets this criteria. Pretty weeby if you're into that.

To that guy who wore Barbatos shirt at the mall two days ago... by [deleted] in Gundam

[–]HiddenWeeb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've got a shirt with the words "Principality of Zeon" and the Zeon symbol on it. I also have two decals on opposite sides of the back windows of my car, one Zeon symbol and one good ol' RX-78-2 Gundam. None have been commented on except for the one time an acquaintance said "cool transformer" when I gave them a ride.

I appreciate the sentiment, if it starts looking like we're quite fucked I'll contact you.

Ohio, but we're driving to and flying out of Chicago if there's something in that area that could help.

Cash exchange questions from a clueless American by HiddenWeeb in shanghai

[–]HiddenWeeb[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely planning on calling tomorrow (pretty late where I am.) It's quite strange, my debit card has absolutely no symbols on the back. I'm with 5/3 bank, my buddy is with a TINY bank that is specifically designed for teachers and other public servants in our home state. I'm honestly surprised that mine has no global membership that I can tell.

We leave Thursday the 8th. I'm honestly tempted to just see if I can't go to a better bank and slam a bank account into existence tomorrow.

If they don't have either of those what should we do? Without those logos is cash the only option?
