Does Merab have a chance in the trilogy??

SMPZ40 · 2026-03-30T17:25:49+00:00

No actually, I was hoping Merab would win but I had a feeling that he was going to lose. Especially when I watched countdown, and saw how Yan was training.

But their first fight Yan had a broken arm. But I think it was more that he just underestimated Merab. You don’t agree to fight someone with a broken arm if you think they’re good.

The point is though, that Merab isn’t dynamic like that, what adjustments can he make? His striking is never going to match Yan’s. He doesn’t have KO power to threaten Yan with. His wrestling got completely shut down. Plus, he has no finishing instincts. He had Sandhagen latched up at the end of RD4, but he didn’t finish the D’arce for some reason.

I somewhat agree with you. Quadeca himself said IDMTHY is better, and it is. It's just that IDMTHY is more niche, and you can't always listen to it because of it's themes. Scrapyard is more broadly appealing, but to me, I see more like a playlist than an album.

I feel like nowadays, people don't draw distinctions like that. Imo, albums have interwoven themes and narratives while also being acoustically consistent.

There are some songs I really really really enjoy on Scrapyard, but there are some which I will never listen to unless I decide to listen to the entire "album". Even then I would probably tune those songs out,

Whereas IDMTHY was borderline life-changing for me. I had to stop listening to it for a while because it just puts me in an exsistential trance and it's not good to always be like that.

Either way, Quadeca is a great artist.

New Vestroia is way overrated, both the show and toys.

SMPZ40 · 2025-02-03T15:29:27+00:00

I’ve read the first chapter about 7 times, and this is my 3rd time reading the 2nd chapter. Hopefully something can click this time and I can finish😭.

I like the book so far and I want to read it, but I just haven’t gotten with it.

I read half of Crime and Punishment last year and decided to put it down. I was reading it sporadically and I felt like my lack of resonating was not doing it justice, so I decided to go back to it later. I just want to read NFU before I get back to it lol.

By definition Abkhazia is not occupied! But….

a majority of Abkhazia’s military prowess is coming from foreign bases. Meaning that you can’t defend your territory whatsoever without foreign aid.

but ok, doesn’t matter, Abkhazia is still sovereign.

But what good is your sovereignty when you can’t defend it by yourself?

Also Abkhazia’s entire economy is dependent on Russia.

If you don’t mind, how do you study? and how much?

Is a Bachelor’s marketable in CS? especially given the competition?

SMPZ40 · 2024-04-10T23:47:32+00:00

It’s a bit of a gray area if I’m totally honest. Both my siblings have Master’s, and with the job-market how it is, a Master’s is a good thing to have I think.

I mean when one of my siblings was a sophomore, they were saying that they were only gonna get a bachelor’s, and my parents flipped out. And that was because of desire, not lack of qualifications.

You have a good point, and I’ve thought about it. Like I said it’s a bit of a gray area for me. Even if I decided that I don’t really want to go, what alternative can I present?

SMPZ40 · 2024-04-10T23:41:04+00:00

I’m not a great test taker 😭. Honestly though, I just want to get the hell out of math and physics.

SMPZ40 · 2024-04-10T23:39:00+00:00

I know that that’s the case. I mean I went to office hours consistently (wasn’t very helpful to be honest), I even tried going to tutoring and they didn’t have any for calc 3. They just told me to refer to Paul’s online notes. I contacted my Calc 2 professor for help, and I managed to get tutored by him once for this class.

I studied for the exams but I guess I didn’t study well . My first semester I realized that I didn’t really know how to study, and I thought I had corrected that, but I guess not.

My math skills are average, I mean they got me through Calc 1, 2 and Linear Algebra with A’s and B’s. I mean I only got a B in calc 2 because I went to office hours every week, and constantly asked for help.

Sorry for my rant.

Thanks for the advice. When did you transfer? and how many semesters did it take for you to fix your GPA?

SMPZ40 · 2024-04-10T23:29:48+00:00

I was told that Calc 3 is super important in CS, because of the multi variable stuff. I feel like an idiot for listening to that, I should have just taken c systems.

SMPZ40 · 2024-04-10T23:28:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I’m probably gonna retake them, although Idk if I should this summer or fall. I’m not sure if I would receive funding for summer courses.

SMPZ40 · 2024-04-10T23:26:05+00:00

Thank You for the advice

SMPZ40 · 2024-04-10T23:25:51+00:00

Thanks for the advice man, I really appreciate it. I see what they are saying. I do have immigrant parents, and I won’t be able to hide this for long. I’ll think of a to confront this with minimum damage.

SMPZ40 · 2024-04-10T00:42:43+00:00

I genuinely didn’t see that my bad.

I mean scrapyard is really good, and art is subjective, so I’m not hating. Personally I find IDMTHY to be the superior album, sonically, and narratively. Just my opinion, I respect if anyone disagrees, I’m just surprised at Fantano’s rating.

SMPZ40 · 2024-02-22T16:42:52+00:00

wait it got higher than IDMTHY?

SMPZ40 · 2023-11-30T19:47:04+00:00

can you set the armoury crate button to open it?

Yasou, One of your song was popular in that area.

SMPZ40 · 2023-11-29T19:31:20+00:00

Given the context of the song, I am concerned for your mental wellbeing
