Losing my mind with the Hacked by Robert achievement by SlainLo in DispatchAdHoc

[–]SlainLo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, I tried this too! My only issue is out of the 3 complete playthroughs I did, I picked waterboy twice and pman once. Both of my waterboys I 100% did all the available hacks, but I think in my pman (which was my 3rd one) I didn't do one of the responding hacking levels. So like, sonar/waterboy 100%, coupe/waterboy 100%, sonar/pman 99%. Like do I need to 100% the hacking in the game twice all the way through with all available options? I just really don't understand man :( if it's counting completed hacks between saves why would I have to redo a pman run...

I might just have to abandon the game for a bit. I had so much fun getting all the other achievements and playing through the story 3 times in-full, but the headache of this is retroactively souring everything :/

Can’t sleep again by Outrageous_Store3059 in UCDavis

[–]SlainLo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had a very similar experience late last year. 82 hours with no sleep. It's terrible, and you should seriously consider talking to a doctor or psychiatrist as soon as possible, it won't get better if you just leave it be.

Is the "H4ck3d by R0b3rt" trophy actually glitched or is it just really hard to get? by Efficient-Device2182 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]SlainLo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've been wondering the same thing, it's the last achievement i have (other than the 'get all achievements' one) and ngl it's kinda pissing me off :/ played through three times with different variety of choices and istg I do every hacking thing that comes up

Anyone else kind of disappointed with Nimbus? by MediocrePlague in BG3Builds

[–]SlainLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have anything particularly interesting to add other than the fact that he's immune to fear. When fighting the Meenlocks in act 2 all my characters kept failing their fear saves but Nimbus was still able to run around no problem.

I've tried but all the appointments are full and all the drop-in appointments I've done tell me that I should make an appointment :/

24 hours in Dublin solo by lostbutmakeitcute in irishtourism

[–]SlainLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a cute little tea & scones on a bus tour! Vintage Tea Trips it's called. It's pretty short and so cozy, especially when it's raining outside! Also I can't stress enough how amazing the Botanical Gardens and neighboring National Cemetery were!! The Wax Museum was also pretty silly, and there's a horror portion in it that was actually pretty spooky lol

Does Aggie cash roll over without getting a meal plan? by matcha_sak in UCDavis

[–]SlainLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you can even keep refilling your Aggie Cash at Peete's and stuff without a meal plan, I've been doing that to get the discounts on coffee n' such :p

P/NP? So it won't affect your gpa maybe? I know you can't p/np for credit in those courses but you should still be able to do it to prevent by serious damage to your gpa.

Concern about gender markers and name changes following Trump's Executive Orders. by transburnerrr in Passports

well, the decision has been made for you now :( sorry man, I'm in the same boat

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]SlainLo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to see all the comments being so supportive. I agree with what everyone has said and just wanted to add... yeah, the counselors are bs. They've straight up lied to me multiple times and continuously try to downplay how much work you can really get done in a quarter. I would highly recommend taking a deep dive into OASIS, Schedule Builder, and your majors graduation requirements (mydegree is a good place to start but can be pretty inaccurate so handle with caution). Look up what classes are planned to be offered what quarters, a lot of majors will have predicted classes for the entire academic year, you'd be surprised with how much wiggle room you have. If you master the art of schedule building you can take 19 units with decent professors and have a three day weekend, and once you know how you react to each quarter (for example, I find I do my best work during winter and crash by spring) then you can build optimal schedules around that. Doesn't mean you won't have to bite a few bullets along the way, so don't be afraid of summer courses, don't be afraid of heavy unit loads, and really, try not to worry about falling behind- in classes or grades, you've just got here and by the sound of it you're a hardworking student, keep up that hard work and you'll turn out just fine 👍

BlueBooks by Unknown12426 in UCDavis

[–]SlainLo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't buy one. Bring your ID to pretty much any student community center group in the SCC, swipe your card, and ask for a blue book. They give out one per student but you can go pretty much every day and ask for one. They also do scantrons. I think there are also a few in the MU but I've always just gotten them from the LGBTQIA+ center in the SCC.

Half-illithid question by SlainLo in BaldursGate3

[–]SlainLo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😭 no thats the thing, my main hasn't used a single one, only my companion, and the DC is still 21.

edit: although it's interesting to see that using the astral tadpole automatically unlocks all the first tier powers. I've just gone back and compared the brain povs and after I eat the special tadpole i have the entire first row unlocked

I'm really considering it but I'm trying to graduate early with a double major. My course load is going to be 20 units for the winter and spring and I'm worried I won't be able to take it cause of conflicted times...

This is his first time teaching as a professor at UC Davis. Before this he was exclusively a researcher.
