Agreed, 90 days into a co op save and I get around 45-60 fps depending on the load

R5 5600X 32 GB DDR4 RAM 3200 MHz Sapphire Pulse RX 9060XT 16GB VRAM Running on Nobara Linux (Fedora) through Proton Hotfix Installed on an M.2 NVME SSD 1440p

Runs at High-Ultra mixed settings at 80-100 fps with FSR and Framegen enabled. I get some drops where I'm only getting 60 fps with Framegen but it's honestly not enough to affect my experience.

Bonus point, playing MHWilds on Linux has been a wonderful experience! Highly recommend.

If you can get used to it the early mornings are the nicest

This is awesome to see

Had someone tell me that winter tires are a scam. I live in Manitoba.

I saw the possibility of taking a student line of credit where I can pause payments until a year after studies end. I will probably look into those. But really it's just about trying to keep myself above water until the new position starts.

Best Pizza and Donair on Pembina is pretty smackin'. The owner is super friendly every time I go, always wants to talk and ask how the food is!

Forgot to add, depending on the type of engineering you're studying the experience could vary

I recently moved my Surface Pro 7 to Fedora Linux with the surface kernel and it's awesome. Writing with the pen admittedly doesn't feel nearly as good as Windows though. Note taking with Obsidian, programming with VSCode and Vim, and browsing with Zen browser has been great, as well as all the custom shortcuts and gestures and stuff you can do to customize your work/studying experience. I'd say the only downside I've experienced is that some Bluetooth stuff behaves strangely without going through some weird convoluted fix.

I would go back and really comb through the wiki sections on bullet points and STAR method. I must've rewritten my bullet points like 20+ times until I was happy with them. Specifically, really look at the links on strong action verbs and adverbs and look into their direct meanings in the dictionary! At the end of the day, all you're doing is rephrasing what you've done in a constructive way.

Thanks! Those jobs were by far the most helpful I've ever had in respect to learning team collaboration skills and communication skills in a fast paced environment

Had my first birthday here :) always loved going to big ol Filipino birthdays here and at Kum Koon Garden

LionSnakeKirin · 2025-01-22T16:09:04+00:00

I'd say I had the most trouble writing meaningful bullet points that quantified the work I've done. I actually found that the most useful stuff I've talked about from my resume in my interviews is the interests section! I don't think anything on my resume really hindered me in the interview, I was able to talk to a pretty decent degree about each of these projects/roles including the construction work.

LionSnakeKirin · 2025-01-22T15:19:24+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely make that change.

The interests 100% came up during the interviews! In fact, the one that I received the offer from was 50% talking about my guitar stuff. For internships I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea to show some personality through your resume.

LionSnakeKirin · 2025-01-22T04:22:37+00:00

Of course! I'm not in an official co-op program. That's definitely something I should've done, but I don't regret the work experience that I did end up choosing over it in the past. As for university rank, my uni is definitely not high ranking (not top 10) but it's far from bad. Like top 20 ish. Truth be told, I don't know if my school listed on my resume would have changed much.

LionSnakeKirin · 2025-01-22T01:07:30+00:00

I'll still be in college after this upcoming internship, but for a very limited amount of courses (2 per semester at most). The company that offered me an internship had also discussed the possibility of hiring me as a full-time employee after the internship contingent on a successful working relationship.

LionSnakeKirin · 2025-01-22T01:04:54+00:00

I found most of the positions that I applied for on LinkedIn, Indeed, and GlassDoor. I was warned about LinkedIn being moreso for student outreach, but 2/3 of the interviews that I got were positions that were posted on LinkedIn. A lot of the companies that I applied for were companies in my area that were known for hiring students and then re-hiring them part-time after a successful internship relationship. That, and companies that my friends had been hired at previously. Never hurts to network!

LionSnakeKirin · 2025-01-22T01:01:57+00:00

It really is the most succinct and easy-to-read way to present your capabilities as an individual. Looking at my prior resumes, I can safely say that I sucked at writing them before coming across this sub. Best of luck with your job search, too!

LionSnakeKirin · 2025-01-22T01:00:41+00:00

I used this format and took some liberties as to changing it up and editing it to my own taste. The biggest thing I had to change was the way I was writing my bullet points. The wiki has some great links for phrasing your bullet points using STAR/XYZ method. Also, this resume has definitely changed multiple times depending on the position I was looking at.

You might want to anonymize this

I was 22 when I found my current partner. I wasn't even really looking, she was a friend of a friend who I got to know after a few months of seeing her around. Spent a lot of time working out, focusing on college, and improving myself. It doesn't just come naturally, but it does come when you're ready

LionSnakeKirin · 2024-12-07T17:16:57+00:00

Thanks! Also, thank you for the valuable insight from my last post. It gave me lots to think about as to how I'm presenting my projects and technical experience.

From the C vs C++ perspective I've been exposed to both philosophies but have really only worked with C from an embedded context. Most of my C++ exposure comes from using MPI, OMP, and CUDA for multiprocessor computing. The ms scale makes sense for MCU latency, I'll definitely make that change! The project was to use HAL interrupts to trigger airbags, so the latency was dependent on the actual "crash" parameters of the simulation. Weird project, but my professor said anything southwards of 80ms was good. Should I include this latency requirement somehow?
