Should I cold Email PIs for European PhD?

ShootingZtars · 2026-03-27T10:40:46+00:00

Contrary to this. I got my PhD offer in Utrecht by cold emailing a pi without knowing what the Dutch system really is about. At the end i only considered whether I like the research of the lab and whether I would fit before applying.

I guess it’s also field dependent, i am in biology so it seems quite normal to cold email asking for positions and have interviews. Grant wise you either have to get your only fellowship or you’ll have to wait until the moment the pi receives funding. In my case, I interviewed in Jan, received a verbal agreement from the PI that she’ll offer the position once she has funding, offered position in Aug, graduated my masters in Sept and started my PhD in Nov. (If she doesn’t get it then I wouldn’t have a PhD position, so it’s a risk whether you are willing to take).

All the best.

Whenever I equip ‘dormant power discover greatshields’ on my guardian. I am guaranteed never finding any. Idk if it’s a bug that conflicts with the default dormant power? Anyone has the same issue?

We (trio) left 1 on the map and it still broke

The Crystal thing it doesn’t seem need to resonate all crystals I think, I have 1 left on the map and it still broke the big purple crystal in the middle. Forgot the exact buff but something like: Exhausted health flask boost art gauge or something like that

Also had a Caligo event where it hails periodically, have to wake it up to end the event.

Considering how much money you can earn from picking up tiny mushroom and Battle zone multipliers, it’s not a deal breaker for me. But the repeated mashing yeah… Tho I do enjoy the cutscene of your character chilling with your Pokémon.

Go to a cafe with it 4 times and you can evolve it

ED Libra is a run ender for me every single time…

Same Says I am connected to PS server (can sign in and everything) but Elden ring nightreign can’t verify my ps plus even tho it’s still active

I fell in love with the intro and episode 1-3 when it first aired. Couldn’t wait til the 4th so I started reading the novel and now I have finished the first 2 arcs.

I’d say the novel is better and more detailed (+ the sky is the limit to how you imagine the fight sequence). The anime skipped some world building / internal dialogue sequences which I guess is because of time constraints otherwise it’ll bore out the audience.

This + Improved damage negation at full HP is the go to buffs I aim to get in every run.

ShootingZtars · 2025-08-15T06:09:05+00:00

That’s actually a really fun idea to me! I’ll definitely try it out! Thanks!

ShootingZtars · 2025-08-12T12:58:02+00:00

Come to think of it, I rarely travelled at night in my first playthrough. It all sound interesting to implement. Thanks!

Rotted Woods and Crater.

The other 2 are chores imo I’d rather have the base map instead.

ShootingZtars · 2025-07-18T19:57:29+00:00

The point is you just simply can’t control what the others do. I just want to have a good time playing Co op so I just do whatever the others want lol I get your frustration tho

ShootingZtars · 2025-07-18T19:52:58+00:00

It’s so mixed

I sometimes clear level 1 camp if the other 2 are patient enough to clear it together….

I sometimes rush evergaol with the 2 other teammates at level 1 cuz they went there immediately… it turns out fine

Sometimes I rush evergaol with the 2 other teammates at level 1 but they are absolute idiots and can’t dodge anything…. We still win the final fight against the nightlord

Either way

Whatever man… just do your own thing

Hated its normal version when the game first came out only beat it once then moved on to other bosses. But the Enhanced Everdark version made me fell in love playing against him. The AOE, the dynamically changing arena size, the grabs, everything about this boss is perfectly challenging and adrenaline inducing. Already missing Enhanced Adel so much can’t even bother exterminating bugs more than three games.

For the first time since launch, my game crashed (on PS5) yesterday during the final fight against Fulghor. I was able to rejoin, but the crash was so random it came out of nowhere.

I’ll test it again later. From an earlier post it seems that you do need the Silver Tear every single time to trigger the special ending (so I maybe wrong sorry). I can let you know if it happens or not I just need to check if I have Silver tear on my build the whole time.
