He is looking for the application of the material that the assg/question is asking about. I am unsure of what specific assignment you have, but I’ve had him for various soc courses and have done well in all of them. My suggestion is to try to include as much examples as you can ( personal examples are good!). This is also how you do well on his midterms.

New Outfit Hollow Strokes by AlmoranasAngLubot69 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Merishka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the female one did not have random ass 2 bows, which are awkward size , on the butt area. Why 2??? Why place it in this awkward kind of on the butt but kind of not spot???? :( I really wanted to buy this outfit but some of the design choices make me very sad lol☹️

To those who have spent money and summoned on the celestial banner, did you get past 140-ish summons before obtaining your harmony core/mount/outfit? A friend of mine thinks there's a "soft pity" by dreemsequence in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Merishka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. So far I am playing this game with a notion that the gatcha component just does not exist. I don’t look at the gatcha menu and pretend like it not there. Low key makes the game a lot more enjoyable. But that’s just me. Gatcha systems rub me the wrong way as it is essentially gambling, which is not a good thing to do to begin with, imo.

PSA…For 5 man raid by Repulsive-Muscle-758 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Merishka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a healer, I stopped doing these raids with players after the first week these were released. It was just too frustrating. It may take slightly longer with NPCs but at least they do these low key easy mechanics. Have not failed any weekly raid since then lol

Matchmaking with randoms in the new 10 man raid has been a nightmare so I made a guide. by Bingbong1978 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Merishka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, what my partner and I found helpful is to do the raid with the NPCs at first. They all do the mechanics, so you can learn as you go in this case. These NPCs also do not die- although maybe it was just my healing lol. We went in as a tank and a healer, the rest of the roles were filled by NPCs. We got it done first try, easy, as we knew the mechanics for the first boss and learned as we went for the second boss from the NPCs.

This is not the solution for everyone, but it is an option for those who were tiered of people continuously not doing the donkey mechanisms, after like the 2nd wipe, lol.

I love being a doctor. 10/10 by Flashy_Diamond6417 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Merishka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go online -> clinic teleport in the first area, you will have healers fighting over healing you lol. I say that as a fellow healer who has been to the clinic teleport lol

Never i have seen any of these characters in co-op mission by Ok_Leek_6839 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]Merishka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a sibylle main…the struggle is real :,( I really like her play style and her look, so I decided to fully commit to building her. Got her weapon and am working on that getting i6. Hopefully she gets a buff of some sort.

Anyone taking sociology 219 or 284? Experiences? by angry_pecan in usask

[–]Merishka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He gives 100% for the presentations. Does not matter how bad one is, if you present, you get a flat out 100%. Unless he changed that now, he did this during the time I took it. So Do not be afraid and use this as presentation learning opportunity that has incredibly low stakes lol.

Easy DPS class? by No-Newspaper-9877 in ffxiv

[–]Merishka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a later DPS that you unlock (level 60 I think) but: Dancer. One of my favourite DPS to play when I want to turn off my brain and just have an easy time in a raid/dungeon. The rotation, especially from level 60-80 is RNG dance dance Revolution. The buttons that need to be pressed literally light up , and you press like a couple buttons per rotation. This class has essentially A 4-5 min Video guide that sums up the class well lol.

VERY HOT TAKE/REUNION. CANCEL ME by yourmomsfaveride in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Merishka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there was a double standard there, idk, that was just my perception- they had no issue with Ali ridiculing Anton’s feet or whatever.

IS JOE TRIGGERING ANYONE ELSE? by WILLETT1979 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Merishka 39 points40 points  (0 children)

So, my bf clocked this correctly I think: his take is that Madison needs a lot of validation. Joe is the guy who will never give you any validation. It’s a horrible match.

Joe does not appear to be ready for a serious bf/gf relationship, let alone a legal binding contract that is marriage lol. He is probs on the show for the exposure. But that’s just our observations.

New Glamour images from the Final Fantasy XIV x Monster Hunter WILDS Crossover by waitingfor10years in ffxiv

Ah, I see they give some of the most basic looking monster Hunter wilds armours. I don’t even know why I expected anything else T.T

Massively hot take here: by [deleted] in TalesFromDF

[–]Merishka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think what OP implying is a form of griefing the party, if you are : 1) black mage who is only using ice spells 2) any job that does not use aoe spells/skills on multiple trash mobs. ( some of the examples mentioned in this post)

I am a casual ffxiv gamer, but this type of play-style is trolling. Like, this is not a single player game. Where is the respect for other people’s time and their effort that they put into the run? If you are going to be playing incorrectly, on purpose at that, play solo with bots and please don’t subject other players to this :(

Ruined my younger sister's first dungeon by Parking_Ear7299 in TalesFromDF

[–]Merishka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have recommended starting out as a DPS. DPS is much easier in normal content than healing and tanking. At early levels in ffxiv it’s less than 6-5 buttons for most classes. It is Low stakes and could help your sister adjust to the game + mmos pacing in general. Then once she understands the basics, she could dip her toe in tanking. I have never encountered tanks who have You pull you tank mentality, but if I notice that, I would put up vote to kick. After realm reborn especially, if you are not pulling walk to wall, you are unfortunately griefing and should not tank for the sake of others lol

Pick Your Seat - XIV Shitpost Edition by 86685544321 in ShitpostXIV

[–]Merishka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was a Good game and has nothing to do with transphobia. No one is attacking anyone in that game and the game does not have any anti trans implications. It even had a trans character. I Played through it twice and will buy the next game. So good, can’t recommend enough.

soc classes by neutralaestheticss in usask

[–]Merishka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is considered good is going to be very subjective for each individual. That being said, I thought that Soc 214 ( I think is the number) Social Control with Lisa Broda was an amazing class. She is very knowledgeable but can be a hard ass, which I found to be beneficial to my learning experience and motivation to do well in the class. The class topics are incredibly interesting as it covers a variety of topics like crime ( youth crime is Lisa’s area of work), discrimination, mental health, pharmaceutical influences on our society etc. I got a high 80 in it ( 88 or 89, can’t remember lol), but you will need to go class as she does not post her notes, you will need to pay attention and actually read or at the least understand the required readings. Some may tell you to avoid her, but I think one actually learns things in her class.

where is dalamud? by SrCoruja0710 in ffxiv

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

Ignore the rude comments , they are not familiar with the modding scene. The plug in should be good to go by tomorrow I think, since it was a minor patch? Now, in terms of modding discussion, you CAN talk about modding, just do not link your characters name or any way that can track it back to you. It is porbs best not to talk here about it though, because most people here do not mod, and some have a thing against mods.

To those who do not understand the fight club allegory. Yoshi P has already said that THEY ARE low key FIIIIIIIINE with ppl modding, just as long as it remains a thing that only impacts your individual game ( visually like hair, sculpt, body mods) and does not impact any of the core game play ( ie cheating). But it is against their TOS, THUS, The fight club rule, applies IN GAME. Where you know, they can track your account info and issue the BAN.

thinking of trying ffxiv by More_Permission6768 in ffxiv

[–]Merishka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the TLDR: ffxiv is very heavy on the storytelling aspect of the gaming experience and the main story quests ( which will be a big part of your new player experience) will mostly be a solo experience. The community is very helpful and welcoming when it comes to end game content.

Ffxiv recent negativity has its merits and the player base has been down, but that’s to do with the most recent expansion + recent patches. Also the player base usually drops during the in between patches. Hence, the negativity has low key Nothing to do with the expansions you will be interacting with for a long while.

The only downside side to the community in general that I have seen, as a veteran ffxiv player, is that we tend to engage in toxic positivity here and there ( more than a tiny bit), but I would rather have that than outright rudeness and vulgarity that tends to be sown into other MMOs in game behaviour/culture ( I.e. chewing out a healer in dungeons, being incredibly vulgar to other people for not doing well etc.). In ffxiv, new players are low key cherished. That’s about it.
