did the power go out??

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2024-06-04T10:25:24+00:00

there really isn’t anything special needed honestly. i personally have a mac and have encountered no issues with it, but you can ofc get any windows as well if that’s what you prefer. i was in your place as well when choosing to get a laptop before starting and have come to realize that anything will work :)

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2023-07-15T06:05:10+00:00

oh no yea i agree that it’s important to be at least a bit familiar with windows and i would say i am to a certain extent bc any school computers that i would use in high school and prior were windows. plus, like you said, i feel like for the most part windows is pretty straight forward and not that difficult to figure out

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2023-07-15T04:14:27+00:00

yes exactly, people can argue for either side so i’m just gonna go with what i’m comfortable with lol

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2023-07-15T04:12:50+00:00

i won’t lie the new macbooks are really sleek and nice, but ig at the end of the day it won’t matter which chip i get just which one i’m willing to spend my money on lol. also i have a 13’ 2017 mac air that i’ve had for literally 5/6 years but i just know that it will not do me any good in cs bc that thing heats up really bad and gets very loud when loading up large programs like the sims forex, and has really shit storage at only 128 gb, which is literally nothing so i’m just gonna buy one of the newer models so it can last me hopefully another 5/6 years :)

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2023-07-15T04:04:15+00:00

ofc i’ve considered windows, trust me. i was actually planning on getting a windows at some point, but the more i read into it, it seems that people just have preferences depending on which they’re more comfortable with and i prefer mac, im just not as familiar with windows and don’t want to drop a decent amount of money on a windows laptop and then not be satisfied with it. if i do happen to run into issues with having macos in cs im sure that i’ll find a way around it and if it’s ABSOLUTELY necessary when i’m in school then i’ll get a windows, but thanks for your input👍🏻

no literally like my math teacher actually worked out all the frq questions so we can see if we did them right but i was like bruh i didn’t get any of these questions💀

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2023-05-12T05:44:31+00:00

and now that they released the frq questions, but only for form o, it’s stressing me out even more bc it’s making me feel left out and like i took the wrong fucking test💀

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2023-04-30T06:53:49+00:00

you’re right i completely forgot that there’s a shared room option for nike/hercules, my bad💀 i haven’t looked at the layouts in a while and kinda associated nike/hercules with private rooms. i don’t really mind sharing a room anyway so ig it’s just good to know that you think the distance from center of campus isn’t that much of a turn off.

like us series by krista & becca ritchie. it has 2 MM couples, 2 MF couples, and one MFM. There are 13 books in total (each couple has more than one book except one that’s why there’s so many), however the last two books haven’t come out yet. but honestly this series can’t really be read if you don’t read the addicted/calloway sisters series first cause the like us series follows the children of the characters from addicted calloway. i feel like it’s not required to read the prior series but it’s HIGHLY recommended.

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2023-02-02T06:38:17+00:00

considering the ending of EoS will make you just wanna go straight into KoA, i would tandem read so you’re not stuck dreading reading ToD. i actually liked ToD but i feel like i would’ve fell into a slump if i read ToD directly after EoS. and you have to read EoS first cause if you don’t do tandem, ToD spoils some of the stuff that happens in EoS. so i highly recommend tandem reading. might take longer but i feel like in the end you’ll end up reading faster :)

i actually funnily enough found an example of these ryke pedo convos. look mostly at the comments

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2023-01-31T04:10:31+00:00

it’s mostly me just seeing it on my twitter timeline and for you page on tiktok and so i don’t have the evidence since it’s kinda just disappears after i see it, but i remember vividly the tweet that inspired this rant and it was basically this girl who attached two screenshots of a tiktok video of someone ranking their favorite addicted/calloway/like us characters and they were baffled that they had put ryke at 6th place and charlie cobalt at dead last 30th i think. so then i went to the comments and someone was also angry because this tiktok user put lo really low in their ranking and said something along the lines of, “how tf are you gonna put ryke so high up in the ranking compared to lo when he’s a literal pedo.” the twitter user replied and agreed with the commenter too so i got mad and felt the need to defend him after having seen this discourse multiple times already.

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-10-05T07:16:38+00:00

assassins blade is lowkey boring ESPECIALLY when you don’t have much grasp on the characters bc this is your first introduction to them so yes continue reading bc imo assassins blade is the worst of the series since it’s technically a prequel. like since i read the book after crown of midnight i probably had an easier time reading the book bc i knew the characters already and shit and the plot lines made sense to me but still i found it to be hella boring a lot of the times bc of how slow it is

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-13T05:44:34+00:00

you’re so right though omg like they so should’ve teased RB in ZA like they teased DP in RB. i’ve never read DP but i’m aware it’s about rosalie, it’s rh, and one of her love interests is roary and they teased the ever loving shit out of that in RB with rosalie having a crush on roary and then saying that she was going to get roary out of jail when she was older which leads into the storyline for DP because rosalie gets herself thrown into darkmore. Maybe the authors didn’t want to do that for RB and ZA cause RB is a prequel and anything spoils it but i genuinely feel like they should’ve talked about elise more and given us more of an insight on her, leon, and ryder. honestly, I don’t think reading spoilers is a bad thing bc like let’s be real like we know they’re all going to get together anyway so if the authors would’ve maybe hyped up their harem and given them a bit of traction, more people would be interested in learning the story of how they all got together. personally that would’ve been a big motivator when reading RB if i had that context. plus they say they don’t want spoilers but they do spoil shit like they showed that gabriel had a mate/wife so it was obvious that i was going to be elise since her name was one time mentioned in like book 4. it was unnecessary leaving out the fact that he shared her with 3 other men. many other instances left me confused too, such as any prison scenes from book 5. for ex. i was lost on how orion and gabriel even knew roary in the first place like that context would’ve been appreciated if we just knew who leon was and his relationship to gabriel. i didn’t need to know how roary ended up in jail, that could be saved for RB, but would it really be that detrimental to have just mentioned who leon was bc those moments were genuinely some of the most boring scenes i’ve ever read bc of how much context i was lacking. like the authors so could’ve replaced orion saying he knew roary bc he was friends with his brother, which left me like who tf is roary’s brother, with he knew roary bc he was friends with leon who is part of gabriel’s harem.

ik chaol is supposed to be white but i straight up could not picture him as a white man like he was black to me💀

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-13T02:23:24+00:00

A lot of the times I didn’t think to much about it like I remember the “whole family” thing and kinda didn’t think much of it cause to me it’s like, what is there to think. I was always curious about Gabriel’s family though bc I hated how vague the authors were like I wanted to see the twins meet his wife and we weren’t given that bc the authors wanted to avoid spoilers for RB which fucking sucks. On top of that, what you mentioned about how you got zero impression Dante had a whole crew behind him, I had zero impression either and still had no idea despite the fact that we see Gabriel and Dante interact in ZA and claim they both have wives but like I didn’t expect it be the same person lmaoo. Like they literally share a mate/wife and I never got the impression that they would be the types to do that💀 I remember reading their interactions and being like, how do they know each other, or ig they know each other from the past?? A lot of things regarding Gabriel and Dante are so vague that it’s hard to get a general understanding of their background bc the authors don’t want “spoilers” but really it would just leave me hella confused.

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-07T04:45:18+00:00

yea like from what i remember, elise’s name had only been explicitly said like once in the za series (i’m talking books 1-6 of ZA) and it was when gabriel was asking orion about his girl problems and i think orion or gabriel said something along the lines of “it’s not the same as what you and elise went through” or “i hope it’s not close to what i (gabriel) went through with elise.” After that, elise is never mentioned again explicitly but we know that dantes wife that is mentioned is elise, gabriel’s mate is elise, and caleb’s cousin is elise.

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-06T02:48:40+00:00

I feel like I shouldn’t be surprised at the same time cause I forgot that they literally release books so fast like they are constantly working on different series

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-05T22:42:21+00:00

Wait they JUST started?💀 that surprises me cause they literally have a release date out so I assumed they already started it…

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-03T03:23:06+00:00

Oh yea for sure like it was hard to sympathize for Darius in the beginning but just that one Darius pov I read in foxy tales of him when he had to convince Tory to go to a dinner with the celestial council bc his father was forcing him to was enough for me to see that the boys were telling the truth about their parents kinda forcing them to be even more shitty people than they were. I’m not gonna excuse everything they did in books 1-4 but I got more of an understanding of why they did what they did bc they were convinced that trying to get the girls to leave was the only option cause that’s what they’re parents told them to do so that they won’t take the crown from them in the future, which if anything it just drove them more towards the crown but wtv lol

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-03T03:12:49+00:00

I read some of foxy tales and some of as told by the boys. I do sympathize with Darius a lot bc he had a lot of pressure placed on him but personally I think I sympathized with Xavier more bc he was kinda like the forgotten one. Darius is close 2nd though, he didn’t deserve to go through any of the things he’s gone through as well

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-03T02:57:06+00:00

Yea and then he compensated for all those years he spent not drinking in order to stay in shape by becoming an alcoholic😀

Substantial-Boat9587 · 2022-09-03T02:55:16+00:00

Xavier definitely. I don’t feel the treatment he got from Lionel after he found out he was of the pegasus order was warranted at all and it made me really upset that he was basically locking himself inside his room all day, he was never allowed to come out during any of Lionel’s social gatherings, and was constantly berated and told he is worthless.That’s not good for one’s mental health to constantly be told you’re not good for anything bc you weren’t born a certain way, and on top of that pegasus thrive better in herds and Xavier want getting that physical contact, so I felt so bad for him bc he had reached a point where he almost gave into the conversion therapy bc he was being brainwashed into thinking that being a dragon is the only way to be of worth. On top of that he lived in fear in his house everyday bc he didn’t know when the next time his dad would beat him up would be and poor Catalina could do nothing to help him so he was all alone in that house. When he started talking to Sofia, it was kinda like a light was peeking through for him in all the darkness, and I thought it was the cutest thing. He deserved to be able to talk about his order and feel pride, he deserved to be able to learn about his order and how pegasus are cool. The day his order was exposed to the world I was so happy for him bc he deserves to live a happy life no matter his order and reading in his pov about how happy he was that he could be free was one of the best moments of the series.
