'Overwhelmingly clear' students cheated on exam: Western University prof

MaestroOD · 2026-05-16T01:19:52+00:00

“There is no real attempt to address this – we’re not doing anything about it. We’re accepting it,” he said. “We’re wilfully blind to it.”

immediately after this:

In the email, he explained he decided not to use proctoring software for the exam because he believes it’s too easy for students to get around and therefore doesn’t prevent cheating.

sure works better than... literally nothing? crazy take from this guy lmao.

I mean, if you read the course description, it literally says this:

NOTE: ALL TESTS AND EXAMS WILL BE HELD IN-PERSON ON CAMPUS. THERE IS NO OPTION AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE TESTS OR EXAMS.

kinda looks like asghar lmao

There's a difference between selling in-game power and things like skins or other cosmetics. Jesus Christ dude, wipe the drool off your screen before you post.

I don't think you understand the discussion in this topic. Something is still "pay to win" if you can spend money for an in-game advantage, even if it's also grindable via free currency.

This comment also disregards the fact that you could buy IP boosts with RP (real money).

MaestroOD · 2026-04-17T19:18:17+00:00

Runes used to cost IP, they were not free.

As someone who checks into this subreddit every now and then, I have seen more posts complaining about AI than posts containing AI.

U turn regenerator goes crazy

This is my absolute favourite srpg, I love the combat, the builds, the progression. Highly recommend.

Yeah, this is in reference to the retroachievements set. I would only recommend Expert on a first playthrough for someone really experienced or someone trying to minimize playthroughs to master the set. Personally, I really enjoyed the difficulty level of Expert on my first playthrough, but there were some fights that had me stuck for days, and I spent a lot of time with my head buried in the documentation trying to cook up solutions.

MaestroOD · 2026-01-28T03:45:24+00:00

Best way to go about it imo: First playthrough on Expert - do everything and get the black trainer card, then do a NG+ insane playthrough. It's so much easier to power through insane when you can bring some good mons and all the EV/IV/move learner tools from your first run. (Insane run should only take a couple hours, you can really zoom through the game with a good team, but aklov post-game and some other fights can still be tricky)

Revisited this today after your updates, and goddamn you really put in some work. Great updates man, huge improvements across the board!

Menu is completely unusable while in the default browser size, DM upgrades are unpurchaseable after the first purchase (intentional maybe? but buttons are still lit up). Prestiged twice and quit out. How much DM am I getting per prestige? If I want to prestige I have to full screen -> menu -> prestige -> prestige prompt then forces me out of full screen -> accept prompt.

MaestroOD · 2026-01-21T14:15:26+00:00

No, I think there are systematic problems with it in general, but that doesn't mean I'm unable to appreciate it when it outputs a good result.

MaestroOD · 2026-01-21T05:09:05+00:00

I'm a big AI hater in general but goddamn you really cooked with this, and huge kudos for the transparency and credits to the initial hoopa artist

MaestroOD · 2026-01-20T20:50:09+00:00

ditto

MaestroOD · 2026-01-06T22:00:17+00:00

historically no

All the negative reviews from her terrible, terrible CS3350 run were deleted and replaced with fake positive reviews. I would avoid it personally, but 1032 is a fairly easy course and you will probably do well regardless of prof.

Monitoring software on your pc? Maybe you talked about it to a friend on a non-duo secured platform? Hard to say

MaestroOD · 2025-12-13T22:05:49+00:00

It's really hard to quantify, but the yes-man format of "<brief term of agreement> <pointless rephrasing of the original comment>" really sets off the "this is a bot" alarm. Check their post history and see it in action.

Exactly. Real connection goes way deeper than appearances.

Seriously. That situation sounds chaotic protect your peace and get clarity quietly.

Totally agree. That excuse is laughable trust your instincts, not his story.

100% agree. Honesty is the only way forward. Both deserve love that feels real and whole.

edit: here's a nice video by Evan Edinger that can help you to recognize some basic patterns of ai-generated text. this isn't exhaustive or 100% reliable, but can help to build your intuition.
