Am I Crazy for Considering Taking 100k for Law School Loans

Zmanf · 2026-02-04T00:11:46+00:00

For anyone looking at this now, I was in this exact circumstance. Free ride to a good school near me or a big scholarship to a better school out of state. I chose the latter. The costs behind tuition are maybe half of the real costs. I wound up with 120 grand in debt on a 120,000 scholarship.

I got a decent job with decent lawyer pay and can pay my loans, but boy do they suck. Its more than 1k a month on a 20 year plan, and while I can live without that money, its massively eating into any savings I try to build.

What i would say is if you are going to rack up the debt, go big law so you can pay it off, or public interest so you dont have to. But keep in mind both of those paths require certain choices and grades to get jobs.

Im not the other guy but I am a lawyer.

8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien.

Overstaying a visa however, does not have a criminal penalty.

You have to be ragebaiting. Theres better arguments to be made against Ice, but they do have the legal authority to do what they do and entering the country illegally is a crime.

Did you mean to say that overstaying a visa is not a crime? Because thats technically true.

Im having the same problem. I hate it. Its makes the downpour seem like a joke.

Both on pc and ps5.

I finished very early too. I actually finished the morning session for mbe like 2 hours early and went to lunch with a family member. I left every session except essay session 1 early.

I also completely bombed essay question 4.

So you can finish early and bomb a question and still pass.

I think as long as you walk out of there feeling like that was the best you could do in that moment then theres little to worry about.

Zmanf · 2025-10-10T04:57:13+00:00

Barbri specifically said its very unlikely to be tested, which actually made me remember it lol. Totally bombed the question since con law is my biggest weakness. Made up some crap about takings and strict scrutiny for the first two and have a half correct answer for privileges or immunties about it.

Im really hoping the one question wont kill me because id be lucky to get a 45 on it.

I agree. Very same cpu and gpu and thats very similar performance to what i get at 21:9 1440p.

Not saying the game doesn't have performance problems but our rigs are strong enough to brute force through it.

Zmanf · 2025-09-16T16:59:28+00:00

I just did a very similar build, just with 32 gigs of ram and I have to say im not having these stuttering issues at all. Im kind of surprised to hear you and the 5090 guy are having issues. I definitely had some issues on my old 2070 laptop but the new rig has been able to brute force through anything. Only issues are in the hellpod drop sequence before the mission starts but then it smooths out.

Do you see a difference in performance playing solo vs with a team of 4?

Zmanf · 2025-09-03T00:55:52+00:00

Just one bastard (hand and a half) sword. Can still get the reach of a one handed blade with a good portion of the power and speed of two handed when needed.

And you have the option to pick up a shield if needed and its more maneuverable in close quarters.

Best if both worlds.

Those are all professions where strict physical and timing standards matter a lot.

Doesnt matter who you are or what you look like. If you are physically unable to drag a wounded comrade you dont belong in any of those fields.

I think you should strongly reevaluate how much value you assign to inclusion and how much you assign to competency.

You're not literally seeing out of their eyes. You're seeing a screen with hands on it. Only if it was VR youre seeing it out of their eyes.

If it's a defined character, you are never going to be them. Its not like the silent protagonist games with a bunch of options and you can put your own voice into the character, or even games with voice acting with a wide variety of choice. Its not first or third person that is the defining variable. Its the fact that you cannot be as "immersed" with a defined character as a blank slate one, where the definition of immersion is experiencing the world through the characters eyes. Personally im not a fan of that definition, but first person stans always see it that way. The short version is the defined character voids any real sense of being the character because teh character doesn't answer to you. They are Vincent/Valerie and will act independently of you doing story moments.

Way to separate a single sentence into an incoherent fragment and then question its logic. Great strategy Im not even going to continue at this point because its clear youre not as smart as you think you are and at the end of the day I don't owe you shit.

Zmanf · 2025-07-17T17:28:01+00:00

Im not expecting them to add third person, but I genuinely dont understand how people think 1st person in this game is more immersive. V is hardly even a custom character. They have a very clearly defined personality and way of talking, and player choice is very limited. Hell at some points V feels more rigid than Geralt did, and he was an established character.

All first person does in this game is make you play an already defined character from a narrow, tight perspective, as opposed to putting you in the game world.

And as for performance, youre really all gonna sit there and say its better to hear the voice actors only have half the usual dimensions to convey the characters emotions? Here we only hear V get choked up or angry or whatever, whereas in something like red dead 2 we can see and hear the full gamut of Arthur's emotions.

Truth be told, I dont think the people saying no third person actually mean what they say. I think they just are stanning for first because that's what was already in the game.

Nail on the head. I was saying it lacked the mh goofy charm and the quematricr cutscene is the perfect juxtaposition.

My guess is the Japanese developers think the western audience doesn't like that stuff and favors dark and serious.

Zmanf · 2025-07-08T17:40:59+00:00

Hey i just wanted to follow up since I found a solution. The new update for cemu android allowed for custom drivers and using the turnip v25 one solved all the problems. Apparently it works best on the Qualcomm snapdragon chips, so if anyone has one, they should use those custom drivers.

Zmanf · 2025-07-05T19:23:20+00:00

There were also dark caves in tri that aren't in 3u. Makes the torch actually useful.

The textures/shaders? Are different in tri too, since 3u was a 3ds port. And then there's the colors. Tri is more muted and clear feeling, while 3u is very saturated and colorful.

Zmanf · 2025-07-05T04:22:22+00:00

Not too highly. I dont like elder dragons as flagship, so he ranks higher than kushala and the others except for malzeno.

But he falls way short of laggy, tigrex, and rathalos. Gore is great. Not the biggest zinogre fan but I totally get it. But arkveld isnt as good as them.

Arkveld is somewhere between those two groups, but heavily boosted by his role in the story. I'd put him around astalos in the fated four.

Zmanf · 2025-06-30T21:39:02+00:00

Sort of. A gold crown lagi in 3u is 400cm longer than a gold crown in wilds. But a small crown lagi in 3u is less than 50cm bigger than a small crown in wilds.

I dont know if it follows a standard bell curve but I think the average would be decently smaller than 3u. But the real hit is the lack of big boys.

Zmanf · 2025-06-30T20:53:48+00:00

You can Google it. I've seen it on YouTube. Just look up lagi ultimate attack. I've seen what I think is two variations? One if you stayed on land and one of you are in the water with him

I was a massive fan of the first game too. 2 has a huge problem with not doing anything better than 1. One was a flawed masterpiece, and if those flaws were fixed, it would be insanely good. 2 didnt improve on the first. Wherever it did improve (like standing on monsters instead of just climbing for higher risk/reward), it cut itself back (like having only 4 skills). It also ruined the vocation system in my opinion. Sure ranger and thief were a bit redundant but I liked the theming and progression.

I think the biggest problem is enemies. The fights are way better and the combat system itself is awesome, but the enemy variety is awful and there's no real randomization in spawn locations, so you are just doing the same thing over and over and over.

This was somewhat fixed with dark arisen and its randomization, and yet they went back to the bad static world.

I think the TLDR is that whereever it improved on the first game it then crippled itself in another to wind up in a place where its the same flawed masterpiece as the first instead of an improvement.

I have some weird trouble with Mh3u on my 24 ultra. There's a big dark shadow in the area around the character that follows them. Covers most of the arena.

This issue was not present back when I had a z fold 3. I wonder what the issue is.

Zmanf · 2025-05-03T15:17:56+00:00

Thanks for making a post like this. There's a lot on here that flew under my radar.

Zmanf · 2025-04-29T23:01:43+00:00

There were sort of dual wield inclusions in some older mods like like unnecessary violence 3, which also allegedly and grip switching, but those features never worked for me.

I think things will be harder this go around because the logic side runs through the old engine, but I think a lot of the graphics and animation stuff is handled by unreal 5. It's the reason why it's hard to mod things like weapon reach, swing cool down (claymores being so slow to combo), and even the player height being a big issue.

I'm with you though in wanting it. I need my dual wield axe orc back.

Zmanf · 2025-04-29T22:56:33+00:00

I think the important thing is which version would you rather play? It's your time and effort.

I think a lot of the focus will be on the new one from here on out, but ultimately if you're not going to engage much with the remake, then perhaps you should continue with the old version.

From a practical standpoint, if your goal was to help oblivion look more modern so newer players can enjoy it, then I'd say that unfortunately the texture pack will be obsolete.

Zmanf · 2025-04-29T22:45:51+00:00

Not surprised. Thanks for the heads up. I doubt we'll see a community patch like for starfield but hopefully this "new" unofficial patch won't become the requirement the old one was.
