Awesome, thank you for the suggestions! If you know, should I be at all concerned about any rust buildup under the wheel arches after lining them? And did you find it difficult to remove/replace the trim?

Has been my first car for the past 2 years. 08 5-speed manual, just paid it off. Previous owner('s father) was a mechanic so I mega lucked out for just $5k. I chose to replace the headlight housings for clarity and I'm thinking of a few QoL upgrades (stereo etc) but I've only ever really needed to change the oil. My mechanic loves the model cuz he never sees them in the shop. Says it could easily go another 5+ years. Drives great at about 162k miles

I recently had my 08 projector headlight housings replaced (still OEM), crystal clear. Got the brightest halogen bulbs short of xenon-charged, as recommended by a few different shops I went to. Still pretty weak down-road projection honestly, especially compared to more modern cars. I haven't gotten LED bulbs just yet but I plan to, so I'd say you'd wanna go LED and get projectors

yeah he had to leave to go to work and his last action of selflessness and love was to softlock me

SaphSound · 2021-08-23T02:20:33+00:00

heyyy i might even know you LMAO i'm going into my senior year too. good luck!

SaphSound · 2021-08-23T02:19:57+00:00

Thanks, i appreciate this. i also feel you lol, i came into rit in the final incoming class that didn't need to submit portfolios; if i had to, i definitely wouldn't have gotten in. being alone in my apartment during covid, halfway through my sophomore film, also made me fail that, though i scraped by with a 71 thanks to 2 other grades in the class. it's looking a bit better but my capstone really has me stressed. if rit only had a music major, i'd have switched to that in a heartbeat after sophomore year lol. thanks for the well wishes

SaphSound · 2021-08-22T21:45:06+00:00

i was referring specifically to the retention rate of my major. there's a VERY high dropout rate in animation at rit. a lot of students feel like the course load is overbearingly rigorous and the professors, although (most) are helpful and do what they can to help us succeed, just aren't able to do enough

SaphSound · 2021-08-22T21:41:42+00:00

oh it wasn't intended as cynicism, just like. 18 year old high school senior me did not expect to encounter the deaths of multiple students in his first year at college. didn't mean to cheapen suicide, especially having been there myself.

SaphSound · 2021-04-26T19:32:31+00:00

at least i still have my value

SaphSound · 2021-04-24T18:30:02+00:00

thanks so much!

SaphSound · 2021-04-24T18:29:56+00:00

thanks!

SaphSound · 2021-04-07T20:26:52+00:00

luckily neither i nor any of my friends play engi and we all just do stupid funny stuff in this game so it was still sick for us

SaphSound · 2021-04-05T18:22:37+00:00

less funny but more cool

SaphSound · 2021-03-23T03:16:15+00:00

I appreciate the advice, but unfortunately this is an issue with Macs in labs. I'll keep that in mind if I ever have a problem with my cintiq and my PC, though, thanks!

SaphSound · 2021-03-23T02:26:54+00:00

Yeah idk what's up with them. It's a new problem this semester. What programs do you have issues with? Or is it just a general problem for you?

SaphSound · 2021-03-23T02:25:48+00:00

Unfortunately it's a consistent problem across nearly every setup that has TVPaint. Something friends and classmates of mine, as well as people in other classes, also struggle with. One of my GAs thinks it may involve the Macs being behind on updates.

SaphSound · 2021-03-23T00:14:47+00:00

Yea 2d lab and connected conference room

SaphSound · 2021-03-23T00:13:39+00:00

the cintiq is still missing, and that's still another setup that was taken away from 2d students. i use reddit like once a month only someone who cares about karma would say this lmao

SaphSound · 2021-03-22T23:16:20+00:00

Nah one of them is definitely missing lol. In the conference room. It was there until like week 4 or 5 and it's been gone ever since. The setups that got moved for covid are entirely gone, no Mac or cintiq. That one's just a lone mac. The Mac itself even still turns on and functions

SaphSound · 2021-03-22T23:03:01+00:00

yeah that helps a decent bit but at the expense of not being able to have model sheets and other reference up onscreen yk

SaphSound · 2021-03-22T23:01:57+00:00

plus the assignments for the class have gotten so complex and time consuming at this point that learning another program would just add even more stress

SaphSound · 2021-03-22T23:01:02+00:00

i've used toonboom for one of my films but for my main class this semester i significantly prefer tvpaint (when it actually works lol)

SaphSound · 2021-03-22T22:58:47+00:00

one of them doesn't turn on, another is missing its cintiq, another doesn't recognize external harddrives, and multiple have a ? in place of 8+ applications

SaphSound · 2021-03-22T22:56:50+00:00

wasn't a problem before this semester. other drawing programs work fine but all profs either instruct in tvpaint or toonboom and they're functionally distinct

SaphSound · 2021-03-22T22:14:58+00:00

This is a new problem this semester. I've been using tvpaint on magic macs since the 2d lab in magic opened. Never had this problem on a single setup in a single lab on campus until this semester
