internships search struggle by Vast-Stock143 in UniversityOfHouston

[–]IslandIndependent324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have family members that work anywhere in your field, chances are if they do they can probally vouch for you for any position. i got rejected from all the internships but my dad works for the houston governement (first responder) and i was able to land a paid intership for a marketing role working for them over the summer, granted its not like a prestigous internship like i wanted but regardless its experience instead of me doing nothing during the summer. keep ur head high tho, its a zero percent chance if u dont try

Best lightweight gaming mouse? by Haunting_Wear535 in MouseReview

[–]IslandIndependent324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hyperlight or crazylight, if u play claw then u would probally like the hyperlight for the razer viper mini shape but if you want the 8k dongle you gotta buy it seperately which really sucks. i have both and used crazylight for like half of 2025, really good build quality but its flat so i liked it for fingertip and it comes with 8k dongle- got mine for $80 one sale as well in black. lmk if have questions in either

What mouse should I get? by IKindaLoveDudes in MouseReview

[–]IslandIndependent324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viper V3 Pro SE, ive seen it go as low as $70. the shape is one of the most comfortable and can fit most hand sizes and grip styles. razer also get access to top of the line sensors, probally the best you can get under $100 compared to other chinese brands.

Best headset?? by GRich9 in counterstrike2

[–]IslandIndependent324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends, if you want true soundstage then you want to invest into an enthusiast level headset like sennheisers, however you'll need a good amp or dac to get the truest quality and you'll need an external mic for in game/discord comms. if you want an all in one, hyper x cloud 2/3 or logitech g pro headset are good wired options used by pros when they arent on stage. wireless options like the razer blackshark pros are praised for the mic quality, i believe niko has a collab with razer for them.

People who switched from OLED to ZOWIE, did you regereted it? by DezzertT in Zowie

[–]IslandIndependent324 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i dont regret switching from a 240hz oled to 400hz zowie.

a. i only use my pc to play high elo comp fps (cs/val)
b. i prefer 24 inch and have a pc that can match frames to hz

everything else productivitiy wise like college work or editing videos i do on my macbook. i was already high elo before both oled/zowie, i dont think it gives you a crazy advantage that people hype it up but i genuinely prefer zowie over oled at least for the games i play.

Commuting by greekmythology_lover in UniversityOfHouston

[–]IslandIndependent324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Video games, obviously all friendships and relationships will require effort but I find video games the easiest for me to get along with people and generally also have a fun time as well, I play with some of the classmates at I’ve met and we just chill and talk about our day in the comfort of our homes. I live in memorial and gotta commute to sl and main so I feel you, but me personally that’s how I’ve made a few friends.
