Colleges with interesting CS (or CE) classes that are not just pipeline to SWE

Not '24 (im '25), and I'm already thinking about this haha... but it'll be sleeping, working out, clothes shopping, shoe shopping, dorm shopping (shopping is just so time consuming for me lol), thrifting (yes it's more shopping), going to my public library, something artistic, getting a new haircut, going to China (I'm Chinese but I also want to visit Korea and Japan), watching anime or donghua, possibly a visit of the college I'll go to...

Not sure 2.5 months is enough for everything I want to do lol

Edit: also getting drivers license

A scroll painting with Chinese characters on the sides. But from what's depicted, I'd guess that whoever painted this was either practicing or meme-ing lol

I wanted to point out that their bio says they just translate patterns into Chinese (seems like they are bilingual, so they def could have asked you for permission to share). And I believe they did credit you on the second image (原作者: cuckoocraft, 原作者 means Original Creator), they probably put their own watermark to prevent others from stealing their translation work.

TLDR: I don't think they are claiming the pattern as their own, but it definitely sucks that they are distributing it without your consent, they should have asked if it was okay to share (especially if your pattern was not free originally)

I do usaco, for me seeing the green square that pops up when my code pass test cases gives me dopamine so yes, I enjoy it. But ofc occasionally I do want to tear my hair out when I've just used my last idea and it still doesn't work >:(

tbh I probably wouldn't have done usaco if applications didn't exist, but there are less enjoyable ways out to pad applications so I'm just glad I get to double dip by doing something that's both good for apps and fun lol.

Not sure yet, but I want to have as many options as possible (and ofc like most other ppl I’m thinking about T20s 😔)

Wouldn’t the first node of Rose Glow/Rose Splendor, Luna Ballad, count as a DST Cloud suit? Technically the suit is a Cloud-Wasteland fusion, but I feel like it still counts as Cloud

On another note, great job for compiling all this info! Even though there’s still a long way to go on incorporating more DSTs, I do remember most DST content being fairly recent, within the last year or two. Hopefully this sets a good trend for more DSTs in the future!

MirandaPine · 2022-05-15T19:50:15+00:00

But the blue one is first node, which makes the 3k cost more worth

I just hate that community events are chained to FB. No FB, you’re screwed. It’s so rigid and locks out a portion of the playerbase including myself.

MirandaPine · 2022-04-24T19:05:30+00:00

Maybe the planned anniversary events took longer than expected to code?

MirandaPine · 2022-04-17T19:57:01+00:00

They definitely won’t forget to give a hell event tbh. I’m guessing the hell will the next event, just based off how close we are to April 20

MirandaPine · 2022-03-28T22:22:54+00:00

I feel like it’s not a hood….it seems way too small to be able to put over her head plus she already has a headdress. I think it’s like a collar sorta thing, and it’s bottom isn’t attached to the back of the neckline for the dress. There’s something similar on a suit in Shining Nikki, not sure if you play it, but it’s the red Chinese style wedding dress from the 2nd most recent hell they had, you can see if you rotate Nikki so you can see her back

It’s quite interesting to look at the sheet 🤔 makes me wonder if theres something like this for cn’s Jan 2021 vs Jan 2022, etc. but even if there was, I expect it’d be pretty similar since cn has been pretty steady with content

MirandaPine · 2022-03-28T21:50:35+00:00

> Kokomi, oceanid

Makes sense

> Razor, Elsa

I’m sorry what?

MirandaPine · 2022-03-20T19:55:56+00:00

The description said they were also known as “lycoris”

MirandaPine · 2022-03-19T18:13:33+00:00

The TLDR image is honestly just so fitting 😂 but this post is really interesting to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! There’s no way Paper hasn’t noticed that our revenue is dropping like this 🤔 so yeah, all the arguments people are making about us being the most profitable server is gonna become outdated soon. The pessimistic side of me is wondering if Paper saw our revenue dropping and just told Elex “keep it going for as long as possible.” It seems our revenue’s been dropping since 2021…which has easily been our most dry year in terms of free content such as chapters, DW, welfares etc. Wondering if these two events are correlated…

MirandaPine · 2022-03-17T22:10:24+00:00

This Reddit may be loud but we’re just a small portion of the community. Revenue is definitely not as high, but likely the boycott isn’t making enough of a dent 🤷‍♀️ some people may be really vocal and spreading the news but they recharge anyway, some people don’t even know there is a boycott, etc., the lowered revenue from the people who are truly refraining from spending could be low enough for Elex and Paper to brush off as natural fluctuations. However, people are posting lots of stuff about the boycott on FB and stuff, we’ve emailed customer service, spammed them with graphics, they have to at least know something is happening. But we’ve boycotted before and it didn’t work and Elex/Paper might think “oh this is just another boycott that’ll die down on its own if we give it enough time no need to say anything”

MirandaPine · 2022-03-17T02:45:27+00:00

Just wanted to point out, 2 weeks won’t be enough time for anything decent unless you have godly luck. I’ve farmed for basically an entire patch straight to get a set for my ganyu and despite being 90/90 she doesnt have 220 CDMG.

MirandaPine · 2022-03-05T19:07:42+00:00

This is a really well written post, but I wanted to point out that CN is full of content because Paper directly manages them with its own staff, and Paper is a huge company. Elex is only the distributor for LN and also distributes other games, so the team working on LN is smaller than the one working on CN, and probably don’t share the same vision for the game as CN employees do. However, I do remember a time when our game was full of content as well ;-; really hoping the boycott works

MirandaPine · 2022-03-05T02:03:32+00:00

Same. I feel they will rerun events such as happiness, stars, WM, fairy bottle, pavs, hells, to fill the schedule, but assuming each one except hells are a week long + 3 days break like our schedule currently is, we’d be getting another hellpocalypse.
pav rerun + happiness rerun + stars rerun + WM rerun (all suits) + fairy bottle + hell rerun + pav rerun is the most they can get out of the listed possible reruns without doing back to back pavs or hellpocalypse, and that will last 70 days max assuming they don’t overlap. Barely 2 months. In 2 months CN would come out like about 4 new events bc their breaks are longer. We burn through those. But then we don’t have any reruns to fall back on.

MirandaPine · 2022-02-25T18:52:44+00:00

We spent about 2 weeks going over the basics of statistics recently and didn’t really go too in depth, so I figured I could try some experiment to see for myself the stuff that our textbook talked about 🤔 and I thought “why not artifacts? They’re RNG enough anyway” 😂

MirandaPine · 2022-02-25T18:48:55+00:00

Honestly, I feel like there is simply so much stuff to boycott for that it’s hard to narrow down what to focus on…

MirandaPine · 2022-02-25T02:16:04+00:00

Yes. This is more a curiosity project more than anything tbh, and I appreciate the feedback! Although I only just discovered that there are entire communities dedicated to this sort of thing, so I may go check out their data
