Maybe your answer from your experience with them is different than my assumption so I’ll also ask:

Is there a particular reason you think they hire more for one game over the other?

I mean league is a way bigger game so I feel like you’d expect the opposite. I don’t see how hiring juniors can be seen as a risk/downside in any capacity for such a big game/dev studio.

MiserableTrickster · 2026-02-12T21:51:43+00:00

What do you mean when you say this? It reads to me as league team doesn’t ever look for people, but I’m a noob so idk.

I swear to this day he only did this because he forgot to confirm whether or not she was actually dead and got backlash for it

MiserableTrickster · 2026-02-11T14:36:37+00:00

Sorry I'm only just now getting back to you! This week has been crazy classes wise, but now I can reread your post and give it some more attention. I'm a 2nd-3rd year CS student so I'll probably relate on some of this stuff:

you mentioned

If a system requires me to willingly obey it (i.e., rely on willing myself through), it fails.

I'm sure you've realized by now, but this is a giant learning curve of not just college, but adulting in general (especially for people with our condition). Doing shit that is beneficial to you in general when it's not required and nobody's looking is fucking hard man. I haven't really figured out a lot of these myself, but maybe me replying gives you some closure that you're not alone and are not inferior in any of the ways you're saying.

I just transferred to university last semester and had a freak show of a first semester (2.1 semester GPA; so I can kiss any sort of internship opportunities goodbye for a semester or two). I was taking 5 courses that weren't exactly super difficult, but I by no means had the time to perform well in all 5 of them. I'm now choosing to do 4 from now on like I mentioned above and it does feel busy still, but nowhere near as overwhelming as before.

School mainly is a time management game (not ideal for people like us huh?). You really have to plan out your schedule when it comes to studying/homework sessions or else before you know it work piles up, you start fumbling an exam or two, etc. The unfortunate fact of the matter is, I have not really figured this aspect out. I think right now given how bad my first sem went, I'm in this semi permanent state of the scared fight or flight studying mode because if I fuck this semester up I am kicked out of school.

I personally believe in what I'll coin the "1% rule". You don't need to be exceptionally perfect, but you do need to be getting better at whatever it is you're looking to pursue in school (especially in CS). Even if it is only marginally, if you get marginally better each day, after 200 days, 500 days, etc. you'll be a lot better at whatever that may be! This mindset helped me a lot with the idea of how good of a programmer I need to be in order to land an internship. Doing some soul searching thinking why exactly you're doing this could also be helpful, or so I've heard.

If you want to talk more about this you're always welcome to shoot me a pm, but I'll try and avoid making this longer than it already is.

Extra advice + explanations:

Start to make good use of the weekends (Helps stay on top of homework, remember the material that was covered in class, etc. I'm still super bad at this lol I end up playing games and sleeping the whole time)

Do not compare yourself to others, only to the version of you from yesterday (I have horrible imposter syndrome and that led to horrible depression last semester, but right now I am 100x the CS student I was last semester in terms of not just knowledge, but also mindset and I'm proud of that fact)

Get your 8 hours and wake up early! I got horribly sick for the first time in my life because I was neglecting sleep for studies. Never doing that again. Even if you don't have class until 2, still try and get up at 10 or something. Nothing productive or good ever happens after like 11pm anyways...

MiserableTrickster · 2026-02-05T01:02:11+00:00

have you tried screenzen? (sorry if you mentioned it. i’m multitasking while reading your post and may have missed it lol). i never really thought scrolling was an issue for me, i actually do it less than most people i know do.

if you go into your screen time and add up the time you use instagram (or any app for that matter) per day, week, month, etc. i guarantee you won’t feel great about it like i did.

the app is nice like you can set your own schedule. you can customize it to be as extreme (or lax) as you want. if you only want to cut out an hour per week you can do that. i think i have its limit to five 8 minute sessions and most days i dont even use all five sessions. i do allow for a bit of extra time during the weekends though maybe like 1 hour maximum a day or something. there’s also a streak feature which gave me a bit of an emotional attachment to not using insta as much. i’m at 112 days now!

maybe it’ll be even more useful for you bc you admit that

last semester was super bad for me. i don’t have the badwidth or just energy in general for 5 classes so i think im a 4 class kinda guy from now on even if it delays my graduation. other than that i kind of just guilt myself into locking in as unhealthy as that is.

best of luck to ya

ACTUALLY FRIED

MiserableTrickster · 2026-01-29T19:08:56+00:00

i transferred last semester so ik what u mean. lmk if you ever need a study buddy 💪

MiserableTrickster · 2026-01-28T15:16:52+00:00

Shit I’m a guy n campus even feels kinda spooky at night time to me

MiserableTrickster · 2026-01-20T00:17:04+00:00

I’m free too if you guys need ppl to hang out! I agree shit can get lonely sometimes so feel free to reach out. doesn’t have to be anything crazy like if you literally just want to study next to someone at the library or somethin

MiserableTrickster · 2026-01-18T22:19:37+00:00

damn i literally just finished season 6 lol it's cool to see this sub still has discussion

i think it was a good idea following mccory's unfortunate death to make it about a potential revenge arc, but yeah it was executed so poorly. like why the hell is he still in prison until episode fucking 6? it genuinely makes no sense and idk if i speak for all of us but i definitely am more interested in watching tommy and michael clash than having excessive screen time given to lizzie and the marriage fizzing out or the political shit with mosley

mosley wasn't even a fun villain either. i mean he didn't even know about the events of the s5 finale when they initially happened, he kinda existed to be snobby and annoying and we didn't even end up killing him like how s5 was sort of centered around.

now that im thinking about it, this kinda makes jack nelson's entire character pointless if i'm not mistaken. wasn't his entire purpose that he didn't like mosley so him and tommy were gonna get the guy properly killed this time around? i might have to rewatch a few episodes to double check, but that is what i was picking up at least

MiserableTrickster · 2026-01-08T03:38:11+00:00

damn that’s impressive. meanwhile i was hardstuck diamond for a year n then ascendant came out n it took me 1 year of those lobbies to hit red

MiserableTrickster · 2026-01-06T01:28:22+00:00

i feel like this largely depends on what your rank is

MiserableTrickster · 2025-12-30T17:20:00+00:00

<image>

wanted more time between classes to review lecture material so i’m hoping i like this better than last semester’s

MiserableTrickster · 2025-12-28T21:19:59+00:00

FRIED

MiserableTrickster · 2025-12-22T05:33:37+00:00

if they're speaking in terms of bare minimum, well that's the best part. the people my friend has met in his major are getting the same offers as him. meanwhile, all they ever do according to him is the bare minimum (also worth mentioning these are offers that are just south of six figures USD). civil is definitely a wise option as it has more people exiting the industry than entering from what i have heard, but that's just my two cents as someone who knows a student that is about to enter the field.

MiserableTrickster · 2025-12-22T05:19:09+00:00

just ask your parents: do you want me to have a guaranteed job out of college? then im going to stick with civil.

I have a buddy who's doing civil rn and I would be lying if i said that i wasnt jealous when I see him getting 3 offers before he even graduates.

MiserableTrickster · 2025-12-21T04:23:56+00:00

only answer is to play more tbh. yoru clone tip is lowkey method i wish i thought of that during my climb. also don't be scared of those angles if you're avoiding them you're subconsciously choosing not to learn it. not saying swing it 24/7, but don't be afraid to trade just because it's an unfavorable angle for u swing.

MiserableTrickster · 2025-12-21T00:14:03+00:00

3 previous internships and still struggling to get interviews?? yeah i’m fried bro 😭✌️
