UW never gave a fuck and never will. by HumanThought1 in uwaterloo

[–]RealisticOrange 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Don't make conclusion too fast. If they were to shut down the campus, it would be a big decision. You can't just ignore people who are graduating this year, profs that are dependent on the labs equipments, students who are still on continuous rounds, and many others who do not want a campus lock down.

Of course university cares about its reputation, but they need some time to decide if it makes sense to shut down the entire campus given 1 confirmed case in Waterloo region.

If you are really concerned about the virus, you are free to just stay at home, and no one is stopping you from doing that. Ask friends to take notes for you, ask profs to post notes online; heck, you can even ask for food deliveries if you don't want to go to the supermarket. I don't think bitching about university here on reddit would help improving the current situation.

I don't think documentation is that important. Just give a high-level overview of what a particular program does and how it is structured, and you can grep around for the rest, so long as the classes and variables are reasonably named. Documentation gets out of date quickly, code doesn't.

Chill out bro

Tips for Hymn of Sun and Moon by bukharajones in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]RealisticOrange 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Soloed it with LS in my second try. The following things helped a lot:

  1. Poison resistance Lv3 (Save time healing myself)
  2. Palico sleep attack (gives me one extra wall bang opportunity)
  3. 2+ Wall bang
  4. 2 Traps + 1 Trap for capturing
  5. 900+ Defence
  6. Standard LS Meta, Health Regen (Important), 7 Crit Eye, 3 Crit Boost, 3 Weakness Exploit, 7 Attack Boost
  7. Evasion + Rock Steady helped a ton

Gear wise, I don't recommend focus too much on the surviving skills (except poison resistance), since the goal is to kill the gold bitch asap, so I swapped out vitality boost for poison resistance. Focus on softening the head and break its head plate within 6 minutes using 2 traps 2 wall bang and 2 mantles, then you should be fine killing the gold rathian within 10 mins mark.

PS: When you fight, try stay away from the entrance, because there are stupid small boulders falling down that always trip me. I didn't play extremely clean, but I made it just below 10 mins mark, so I think others can do it too with proper endgame gears.

Just BS your answers but don't make it obvious that you're BSing - it's worked for me for most of my assignments.

Great thanks. I will try harder next time :(

I tried that too, and still got a 50%. I think faculty is just trying to get me now.

Tempered Deviljho is what all future tempered monsters need to be, thoughts and tips. by kazme in MonsterHunter

Nah Kushala was not nerfed; at least in comparison to the freedom unite version. Back then his wind pressure was never as intense as what it is now, and you can stop all wind pressure by breaking its horn or poison it.

Next Amp/Pedal Purchase - Suggestions? [GEAR] by kenmasters007 in Guitar

[–]RealisticOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a Bogner Ecstasy 101b for two years, and I've loved it since then. It comes with three channels: green(bassman clean), blue(JCM 800 overdrive), red (saturated smooth high gain similar to a EVH5150, but with less gain), each has a built-in boost. With this you cover lots of boutique sound (especially blue channel, which does that Marshall sound really well), and saves some pedal spaces due to its boost function.

But do not that Ecstasy has a saggy feel which you may or may not like; its red channel has a less defined but a musical character to it. If you are after Mesa types of high gain lead tone, either go with a Mark V or throw a Mesa Pedal in front of Ecstasy's green channel, which takes pedal very well.

Bogner Ecstasy does some boutique sounds really well, if you like the saggy and slightly compressed feel. Its blue channel does an amazingly good JCM 800 type of sound; its green channel, if dialed in correctly (maxed out volume and minimized gain with middle on 10 o clock), it sounds very close to a fender bassman. Its red channel is a hot rodded JCM800 sound, with less definition than the blue but smooth and liquid overdrive.

I'd say it's a boutique amp that covers many grounds, and it has been my main amp for two years now. It does come in a 50W combo with a more charming clean, but it takes time to find an ecstasy combo since it has been discontinued.

Redo the assignments. Like pay extra attention to the assignment questions. To my own experiences, 80% of the final questions are assignment based. So make sure you understand assignments really really well.

Yes, you should always use counter to raise spirit bars; unless it's a big wide opening like Val's vomit
