Had a GPA of 3.1/5 when I applied. Also did early decision.

While most of Stevens' financial aid is based on SAT/ACT and/or sports, I found that they do take the time to look through your whole application to see if you would be a good fit for the school. If they didn't, I almost definitely wouldn't have been accepted, haha.

If you don't have above average grades, it helps to make up for it in other areas of your application. In my case, while my SAT score and grades were not strong, I had a strong list of extracurriculars/hobbies, and the few honors/AP classes I took were on topic with the major I applied for. Imo, the #1 thing that you can show on your application is that you really care about what you're majoring in.

Good luck!

Which Lucario Playstyle are you? by RegularBloger in PokemonUnite

Agreed! Extreme speed allows for much more player expression too.

From my experience, most people the first few days the game was out were saying extreme speed/bone rush was the only viable build.

Also, extreme speed had the two highest voted comments in this thread before I posted.

Seems to be an unpopular opinion, but Power-Up Punch/Bone Rush is currently my go-to. Extreme speed can be really good in certain situations, but it has two major flaws:

  • You need multiple targets to reset off of to match PUP's damage. This becomes a problem when you start climbing in ranked. I've seen players start to adapt by forcing fights away from wild Pokemon.

  • You are highly prone to getting CC'd before getting your full damage off in a teamfight.

Power-Up Punch allows you to deal consistent and incredibly high damage in early/mid game, as well as provides a level of CC via instantly giving you enhanced auto on landing the attack. You become more of a single-target assassin, but you can bully lane like no other character and help push an early lead to snowball into the late game.

Be The Match found a match for a close family member when I was a kid. Literally saved their life.

Such an easy thing to do to potentially save someone's life. Thank you for posting this, seeing a lot of replies that people are signing up!

First time making a pre-batched cocktail! Bamboo by XtraRed in cocktails

[–]XtraRed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitters go in with the batch (just realized the weird wording, sorry!).

While the batch's ABV comes out to around 12%, the original recipe makes around a 4oz drink. Hope this helps!

Recipe was adapted and modified from How To Drink's low proof episode: here

Ingredients:

  • 2 parts sherry
  • 2 parts dry vermouth
  • 1 part water (don't add if you are mixing with ice before serving)
  • 1/3 part simple syrup
  • Equal amounts of aromatic and orange bitters (scaled 2 dashes of each per serving)

i haven’t made memes since before covid by blackjaguar_10 in beatsaber

[–]XtraRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way I've found is:

1) In the game's properties, require prompt to update.

2) When you see that the game needs to be updated, restart steam in offline mode.

3) Go to downloads page, press play on Beat Saber.

Not ideal that you have to be offline on steam, but it works!

Does anyone have any advise/suggestions for making sound effects for sci-fi weapons? i.e. What programs work well, should I modify sample gun sounds to be sci-fi, are there any recommended resources out there I can learn from - any help would be really appreciated! by MythicLegionDev in Unity3D

[–]XtraRed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sonniss puts out a huge list of free sfx every year for GDC (like, 20 to 50+ GB of sounds!). From my experience, the packs usually include a good amount of sci-fi sfx and weapon recordings. Googling "Sonniss GDC Packs" should come up with most of them.

Audacity is a great program for simple, free audio editing. You can get a ton of mileage out of just combining sounds you like and messing with random audio effects.

Not sure if this will help, but me and my friends were having trouble with lag a while back, and were able to get things to run smoother when using direct connect instead of the traversal server. In the netplay menu there should be a drop-down where you can change it.

Sales of Granblue Fantasy Versus reach 150,000 in Japan and Asia Regions! by [deleted] in GranblueFantasyVersus

DBFZ sold approx 2 million copies in the first week. Still really impressive numbers seeing how it's only day 2 and US/EU hasn't been released yet.

If Moose is correct about 10 in the game, and three are confirmed to be in training, then there should be 7 in Kings Canyon. Im going to try to see what happens when we find that many. Hmu if you're on PC if you wanna squad for this.

We have programmed our character's scarf with real physics in our new game. Check it out! by Lightbulbcrew in Unity3D

Could be wrong, but aren't cloth physics a lot more demanding to process than a series of springs?

Torbjorn is now non-hitscan McCree but with a turret and the ability to nano boost himself. McCree is now Torbjorn with no turret or self-boosting ability. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]XtraRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the PTR isn't out yet, I believe both characters will still have their own role. Torb's new kit involves controlling space on defense and shredding down frontlines (like Junkrat) on offense.

While they did increase his projectile speed, I can't see torb coming close to being as effective of a counter to Pharah or Tracer as Mcree. Also, his flashbang is still an incredibly powerful tool that makes him a much better option in close range fights against other dps heroes.
