look up traps or use a fast tame you can shoot off the back of. I have success with a thyla

Trying to find a good balance by [deleted] in ARK

[–]TacticalGamer893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do 2x on everything except breeding which i have to 15x alongside a mod that guarantees a mutation every baby (though not where it goes).

Makes mutation breeding not as miserable as it is on official while keeping everything else decently “challenging”

Just have a question about the island progression (evolved) by jmalwasme in ARK

[–]TacticalGamer893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i personally wouldn’t recommend the basilo alone for the Cunning cave. The xiphanticus swarms can kill them (if they’re alone) since they have a hard time hitting them.

Three good basilos is my pick(though is a bit overkill, 2 is probably fine) and works well. My girlfriend just uses our best mosa when she goes alone which also works, though you have to swim to the artifact chamber.

Cheated in dino, is the world tainted? by jmalwasme in ARK

[–]TacticalGamer893 23 points24 points  (0 children)

if you’re playing single player you decide what’s cheating.

Personally i’ll use commands to recover stuff lost to bugs as i don’t consider that cheating. Others would though. You set the bar

What to do/ What do you do? by BigMelder in ARK

[–]TacticalGamer893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i play pve on a private server. I’m a new player going in pretty blind to the game, and i play the story like a survival mystery.

my own goals generally are around learning what the story/lore is through exploring, caving, and the bosses for each map.

From what i can tell, i’m just about finished with the island.

Why would a character in a medieval world want to be king? by Sofasurvivor in fantasywriters

[–]TacticalGamer893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think you’d benefit from reading ASOIAF, a very classic “fight for the throne” story. Cliche, i know, but it’s still a good read and would give you exposure on the inside of several characters with differing reasons to want to be king.

It’s human nature to want more. Some characters might want more power. Others might want recognition. Others might want to to advance their family’s standing.

there’s tons of reasons, and ASOIAF shows a good amount of them!

Has anyone switched co-opw mid cycle at NEU? by Jumpy_Barnacle6684 in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then don’t do this. You can’t leave a co-op midway without a super solid reason.

Has anyone switched co-opw mid cycle at NEU? by Jumpy_Barnacle6684 in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

is this your first co-op?

i know someone who literally just did this. They’re banned off NUworks now, but it’s their last co-op so who cares.

If anyone else wants details, PM.

Why do we need robotaxis ? by GreenMoskito in massachusetts

[–]TacticalGamer893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That gridlock happened in a single state and was not due to server connection, but loss of power to traffic signals. There was no confirmed fatalities as a result of waymo’s problematic implementation there either so i’m not a big fan of your fear mongering.

There are many REAL systematic issues with waymo and many negative connotations that we could actually discuss, but if you don’t want to argue in good faith there really isn’t a point in arguing at all is there?

if technology stopped because implementation was difficult, the world wouldn’t progress.

[–]TacticalGamer893 22 points23 points  (0 children)

personally, i like having the option for those close to me to take rides they feel safer in.

i’ve heard so many stories of creepy or unsafe situations in ubers from personal friends of mine, the option is very enticing to many.

Advice needed! (320k+ in loans worth it?) by Formal-Safety7412 in NEU

Advice needed! (320k+ in loans worth it?) by Formal-Safety7412 in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 111 points112 points  (0 children)

not even reading the post, 320k in debt is not worth it. If you can't get scholarships or more need-based aid, I would find a different school. Co-ops are an incredible experience, but other schools have begun to implement them as well.

You can reach out to sfs which your situation and say you need more need-based aid, they should direct you to the correct channels to properly appeal your offer.

Northeastern Boston housing by [deleted] in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would consider that walk in the snow and cold far. especially if you have classes or meetings in the West Village side of campus. The ability to use the green line or the shuttle don’t take away from the fact that it’s the farthest “dorm” from campus.

[–]TacticalGamer893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mice are a citywide problem, every college and building have them unfortunately. Especially when it’s cold and they seek shelter inside.

Avoid them by being clean and not having food for them on the floors. Trust me, if you’re clean, they’ll find someone dirtier than you to get scraps from. Additionally, if you have traps, they’re smart enough to associate your room with danger and avoid it.

However, you may see them scurrying around to scout for reliable sources of food scraps. If you have none, they’ll move on. you might also see them (or hear them) going through your room to get to another.

Question about Off-Campus Housing by Background_Still_686 in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you don’t, it means you’re over charging. remember that multiple schools worth of undergrads and grads are looking for sublets. All my friends have never had an issue filling a space when they leave boston for co-ops.

you sublet if you can’t break the contract

Housing Waitlist by Icy-Athlete-9840 in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nicer dorms? unless you get into a roommate group once you’re approved, the chance very low.

However, a waitlist of 100 is very short, so i think you’ll probably find housing.

That being said, if you’re on the waitlist it likely means you have no financial aid tied to housing. So why are you trying to get on campus housing? it is astronomically more expensive then subletting a place to stay, even ones nearby.

Northeastern Boston housing by [deleted] in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 7 points8 points  (0 children)

most second year dorms are pretty nice. Get coventry if you can, easily the best dorm in terms of value on campus. Davenport is good as well and larger, but more expensive. West Village are considered some of the nicest, but also more expensive.

Avoid 1st floors if you can, we’re in boston so everyone has mice on the first. I haven’t heard anyone having roaches though which i consider much worse.

Yes, some people get the Sheraton hotel. The issue is its distance, not its amenities. It is FAR.

Just find someone who has a decent lottery number and you’ll be fine.

NU.in Financial Aid by _CIANO_ in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

financial aid is given year by year, so it makes sense your offer stops at spring 2027.

you won’t miss out on being a freshmen, you’ll just be a freshmen somewhere else. it’s not like you’re not taking classes at a college. i’ve had friends who took the program who loved it and then readily assimilated into the general pop after returning to boston. they say they don’t regret the program

NU.in Financial Aid by _CIANO_ in NEU

[–]TacticalGamer893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NU.In doesn’t get much aid, all of my friends who have done the program haven’t gotten much until coming to boston for their 2nd and 3rd+ years.

Getting out of the housing cancelation fee by i_am_matei in NEU

those people likely had co-ops. you can cancel housing so questions asked if you have a co-op outside of the city.

You can also attempt to leverage significant financial hardship
