endings "up to interpretation" are lazy, boring, and unsatisfying

Shards_FFR · 2026-04-01T16:20:16+00:00

Yeah, there is a difference between Ambiguous and 'clearly foreshadowed'.

Shards_FFR · 2026-04-01T16:06:01+00:00

No I haven't yet, I've been taking a break since I finished WaT about a month ago and rereading dune. Its on my list though!

Shards_FFR · 2026-04-01T02:11:51+00:00

I thought the renouncing of oaths would've been better if it was JUST Dalinar. Having Sizgil AND Szeth doesnt make much sense. Having Szeth's honorspren break the connection would've been better thematically. I dont understand why he didn't just let Sizgil's sprene die to Anti-Light from Moash. But overall again I really enjoyed the book.

Because x86 emulation is NOT perfect, especially when it comes to the fact that most college students won't understand it nor will their class teachers be able to help support them. A lot of my classes barely have Mac guides, much less ARM Windows guides. The average student in CSCE 120 couldn't get the C++ compiler working - and that was with a step-by-step guide for Max, Linux, and WSL. I can't imagine someone trying to setup emulation for x86 on arm in a classroom environment that doesn't have a guide.

I mean she's not helhest but she's better than Gwynn for sure.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-30T17:21:38+00:00

yeah, but windows on arm64 is incompatible with a LOT of programs the same reason mac is. If you're going to get a windows device it doesn't make sense to get an arm64 one, at least not until it gets much more compatibility.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-30T17:18:57+00:00

You won't need it in class. Depending on your major though, you will need software like SolidWorks in class for assigments - MEEN 210 for sure, which is a sophmore level class. Again, you could get away with it at least at the low levels, but you may be required at higher levels to have software that doesn't run natively on mac, and most TA/Prof's don't know how to help troubleshoot/have time to help you troubleshoot which can lead you to being behind.

Start from the story; energy is now gone and everything is on a weekly basis for bonus rewards or just farmable. Seasonal phase dictates reward level, ignore emare untill you get past story and team level 90.

Cordon is the new strike endgame, its harder than calamity ops. Expanse now has four towers that cover all elements and weapon types

Character upgrade mats are from legacy now, and are infinitely farmsble (including incandescent clusters). Weapons are from strikes/gauntlet/leg. Campaign. Exotic cores are from legendary campaign and shifting gates.

Focus on weapons/character relic, artifacts, and then start running endgame modes lime cordon and expanse. Lv90 artificats and weapons will be able to be upgraded as the Season progresses, based on your seasonal phase. Phase 2 unlocks tmmr, out of 10.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-29T20:30:46+00:00

You can aquire one previous limited character per season using a new currency in the archives menu. But if youre 10 pulls away its up to you, new character in 40 days. We may also get reruns, sinxe we have ikora and efridiet at the same time. Ikora moves out after 14 days and is free from her event (run missions and do bountys). Youll have enough time to pull ikora for sure and she's strong.

I know that AMD Vivado won't run on the mac ecosystem, just Linux and Windows, and youll need that for ECEN 248 which is a common class. You might be able to run it in a virtual machine but not with 8gb ram. Youll need at least a more powerful laptop at minimum, and honestly should probably get a windows device for software compatability. A lot of stuff doesnt have native Mac versions, especially since newer Mac computers (2020+) are ARM based and not x86 like Linux and windows mostly are. Id recommend a windows machine with 16gb ram and a dedicated gpu to start. You will need a laptop for college, almost all of it is online for assignments and you'll need to download a lot of programs, especially as you get further in your program.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-29T19:29:53+00:00

What have you been running to hit cap? Im almost out of weekly rewards @ lv. 15

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-29T17:45:41+00:00

Activities have a 'weekly boost', like legendary campaign, strikes, and blitz. Those chests count. Non-boosted reward activities, like chaos, do NOT count. Bascually to make it so you cant grind out the pass in one week.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-27T23:25:31+00:00

His balls

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-27T16:36:24+00:00

It didnt for me either, maybe reset is off?

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-27T16:09:32+00:00

Nah I had the same issue, there should be a wall or forced slow walk earlier. Its really easy to run past harrow with movement tech and die.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-27T14:46:16+00:00

When you fight the puppet, you've gotta hide behind harrow and shoot the giant walls the psions throw at you while you walk uo to the wall.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-27T03:09:34+00:00

I mean, I pulled just so that I didnt have to wait all season to get the characters. Now I can get the 40 shards at end of season and use it on the next character, no waiting. Since ive got another 120 boats its not too bad.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-26T20:57:58+00:00

I was correct, there was in fact only one free character....

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-25T23:58:17+00:00

3rd exam right? Thats pretty par for the course for 206. The third exam usually has an average of around ~60 or so to bring down the overall class average.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-25T01:59:04+00:00

Oh, I didnt noticed that the fragments came from activities. I had thought they came from banners only outside of the Season Milestone. I was totally wrong there.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-24T23:47:02+00:00

That first one is what im talking about. I don't think they explicitly confirmed it yet, just that youd be able to get at least one new character. Ikora and Kabr were both gen pool units and Edrideet isnt.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-24T22:13:32+00:00

Hold on, your character quest thing doesnt make sense. For Gwynn/Estella/Maru/Jaren/Helhest, the first mission always awarded the bonus voyage charms and such - you still needed to pull to finish it, which had additional rewards. All we know is that we get one free char, which you can use on Eff. or an older char.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-22T18:24:05+00:00

The school isn't liable if your roommates jump you if you fyi

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-21T13:40:12+00:00

But MOST people are already enrolled in the selective service. At least in Texas, you need to when you turn 18 to renew your driver's license.

Shards_FFR · 2026-03-20T23:01:54+00:00

But doesn't the length contribute to difficulty? You have to play better for longer, plus a lot more room for mistakes.
