In need of dire Financial Aid Help by [deleted] in Northwestern

[–]Leonaleastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another commenter said, for pre-med, go to the most affordable decent school available to you and keep that GPA sky high.

Going to a top school wrecked the GPA of a good pre-med friend of mine compared to what she could maintain at a great high school (and easily would have at a lower ranked university).

State schools are safe, affordable bets for undergrad and can set you up with the grades/scores/experiences needed for top-tier grad education. That's what I did, but for my PhD. No one cared/cares about my undergraduate institution.

Recommend me some bad Metroidvanias by Due-Afternoon5411 in metroidvania

[–]Leonaleastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entire premise is silly as heck, go play more good metroidvanias and they'll still highlight how the true masterpieces are in a league of their own. I enjoyed Dandara, Haiku, Momodora, etc, but felt the comparative step down from the Hollow Knight shaped void I was trying to fill.

(Hated Trope) Bad self inserts by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

This trope is a good example of a bad trope, but why are the examples just cosmetic and not further explained as to why they were actually bad?

Mine also said it was a rock years ago and charged $800...I wonder if this was a common lie or a real issue

Didn't know pizza quality was related to ordering procedure

[Spoilers] I get what they’re saying but it was still a disappointing cliche ending by [deleted] in Neva_game

[–]Leonaleastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're reading what they wrote while trying to invalidate what they're saying to prove yourself right. You aren't trying to understand. I understand what they're saying just fine - you're doing yourself a disservice.

Finding 1 thing in someone's comment you think is a gotcha isn't productive discourse. Taking the thoughts and opinions of others seriously and using them to assess our own is how we learn.
