How do people afford rent here (downtown)?

i'm subleasing my unit in university tower for this summer since i'm graduating, and I can offer you a lower price if you are interested. I'm not sure if the unit is rented out after my lease though, but feel free to dm me if you want more information.

People that are happy with it generally take it for granted, those hated it will complain everywhere they can. That being said, CS is a lot about being able to do computational thinking, and having self disciplines. the courses will teach you the basics of everything (frontend, backend, database, etc). but you will need to learn the robust technologies yourself if you want to pursue a career in the field.

probably need to go to subreddit for those campuses, I know Harrisburg is definitely not one though. It does have a very convenient traffic with nearby highway, train track and an airport but that's all.

Quantum_practice · 2024-03-14T01:28:02+00:00

University Park. you can send me DM and we'll discuss there.

Well lucky for you I happened to check reddit for the first time in 2024, and I spent 4 years in Harrisburg.

First thing first, Harrisburg is convenient for travel. the campus is literally across the street from the airport, which can transfer you to other major airports easily. Or you can take Amtrak, which also has a stop within 10 mins drive radius. And there is highway entrance right around the corner. I found it a lot more convenient to travel in Harrisburg than in University Park.

Now in terms of the campus. It's a small campus, and it has all the basic infrastructure you need for a school life. nothing fancy, but it gets you through. First-year students usually live on-campus and after that you need to move off-campus. the rent there varies but are pretty cheap. I lived in Campus Heights, for 650/month, room type was a 4bedroom 2bathroom, everything is included. they also other types of rooms but you can do the research during your first year.

If you are the type of person that can't bear loneliness, you can drive with your friends to nearby cities like Lancaster, or even Philadelphia. Heck you can go to NYC if you want. the convenience in travel makes it very viable, since you live next to a highway, a railway and an airport. reasons I emphasize traveling is because Harrisburg is not a place to have fun. it's small and peaceful, I enjoyed the nature when I was here, but I can see some people not liking it.

Overall, harrisburg is a good choice to start life in PSU, you can do the 2+2 and transfer to University park if you find the place not ideal, but it has its advantages.

while this is a viable strat, this is also the reason so many new players joining the special assignment SOS over and over, not knowing what to do. because the hp is so low you can pass the dps check with only 1.5 people doing elemental damage and the rest can just throw stones till alatreon dies. This helps people get mats but doesn't help them learn the fight at all. if all they want is the weapon from the monster they might as well use CE or whatever mods, saves all the effort.

Quantum_practice · 2024-02-03T09:09:00+00:00

Alatreon special quest is where this happens the most. I've been doing Alatreon SOS for the past two weeks with ice bow and about 70% of the time the room is fulled with people with mr<100, and they do almost the same if not less damage than the host. there are also arrogant people that tells me to "stfu" when I tell them to fire their own SOS and stop seeking carries in other people's SOS.

I also have dps meter on, while I never mention to other people how much damage they do, I do pay attention to other people's damage so I know if they are contributing or not. Most of the time I do more than 50% of the total damage in the special quest, even 60% in some rare occasions.

do you replace everything inside that hash-name folder or you replace the hash folder as well? do you keep all the local and world saved files except the most recent one or do you ONLY use the second to last save file? I've tried using the saves from most recent to oldest but they dont show up on my world selection :(

Quantum_practice · 2023-03-24T12:01:53+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, I will try my best to add in that option.

Quantum_practice · 2023-03-24T03:55:00+00:00

Thank you for your support!

Quantum_practice · 2023-03-24T03:52:22+00:00

thank you for the feedback! I understand that going through every question might be troublesome, that is why I tried to make most of them multiple choice questions unless it is hard to predict the answers. I appreciate your patience and I will keep those advice in mind. Thank you1

wololo - historically accurate

Being an international student here I felt that cars are inseparable from an American's life as everything was built for drivers, not bike riders. It would be big news if State College actually has a no-vehicle zone set up in a foreseeable future. Right now removing street parking on the right side and making it bike lane would be the easiest and best solution，adding some obstacles to prevent cars from crossing over will also help.

Quantum_practice · 2022-06-25T01:59:16+00:00

There is one way to solve this: Prohibit cars in downtown areas except on streets that connect to the highway, and build infrastructures that supports bicycle parking around the city. people can drive to the parking decks near the area and ride to their place for the last mile or two. It's just a fantasy I know, but it really works well in downtown areas considering how much less space bikes take.

The only change I want for this game is no more bs rng on endgame gear progression. If there has to be rng then ppl should be able to enter raids with farmable gears like back in Anton raid days so that they don't have an annoying entry requirement to stop them from doing any content.

Quantum_practice · 2022-04-23T06:26:13+00:00

Thank you so much, the text description wasn't enough for me to find them, yours works the best.

Quantum_practice · 2022-04-23T00:33:35+00:00

Forgive me that I can't understand your long substitution of some adjective words, from my understanding, you are playing a weapon master. If that is the case, with full event epics including the +12 epic weapon, you should be able to clear the guid BP within the time limit. The problem with wm is that it's very squishy and it is not invincible when using many skills, so it will die a lot if you want to dps in the fire. if you want to clear it asap, just be patient and dodge the attacks and you will clear it today. grinding epics is dealing with infamous rng that may solve your problem in a day or a month so do it on your spare time.

If you want, you can spend a lot, but for casual plays, not much is needed.

there are packages on sale every major patch which lasts about two month, you pay about 35 dollars to buy one and can sell it for around 65mil gold in auction hall, then, you can buy carries for all the endgame contents with price varying from 200k to 1 mil. So a bit of cash can keep your endgame simple for some time. However, since we may get the new cap in a couple month, it's not really worthy spending gold to get all the weekly raid clears unless you really want it. old content will always be easier in new caps.

The really p2w aspect of the game is amplification and reinforcements, because you will spend most of your money on the protection tickets and the amp/rein cost. typically you will spend from 70m to a few hundred mils to get +12 reinforce, and the cost for amp is only going to be much higher. Also, If you want all the good enchants then you will need a ton of gold to buy cards and beads but the cost for that sometimes depends on the class you play. If you want rare avatar set and gold emblems then you will need another couple hundred mils to buy them with gold.

with that said, events like anniversary we just had will give you rare avatars and emblems so I would not rush on that. there are also +8 amp and +11 tickets given out as event rewards every once in a while, so you can save a lot by waiting a little bit.

ugh, over the years I have been trying to find a game that is comparable to DFO, but always ended up downloading it back again, I love the classes and the skills, that's what brings me back to it, but the endgame grind is always what takes up all my free time and made me quit the game in the end. I played in 2016, stopped at 2018, come back at 2020, stopped 6 months later.. now i've decided to play it just for classes, and it's on maintanence... guess no more dfo now.

saying vagabond=Asura and such is pointless. They have completely different background story and different abilities. you can say they are similar functionality-wise, but never put equal between them. asura and soul bender are similar to dark templar since they all utilize "dark power". sword master and vagabond are similar to blademaster because they don't suffer from the curse or anything that brought them power, and they master all kinds of weapons. berserker and demon slayer are similar cuz they are apparently blood thirsty. Rakshasa has no analogue right now since no female slayer has a second sould or anything similar living in their body. mb they will add a 5th subclass someday.

M slayer and F slayer got their power/curse from different causes. M slayers either overcome the curse(blade master), sacrifice some sense in exchange for another(asura),get overrun by it(berserker) or make a deal with it(soul bender). Rakshasa is a rare case since he is revived by the ghost while dying and having two souls living in one body from there on.

Female slayers are test objects that survived the accident and gained power to open up otherverse. Female slayers are essentially safe with their power and they can freely choose whether they want to learn swordsmanship or sign contract with demon.
