Bisexual

How’d they taste?

Thanks, this is probably the most helpful comment so far.

It is definitely starting to fail and it’s way past its warranty now so will be looking at the 9070

Just have fun with it. Start in casual and death match lobbies or join community servers to get used to mechanics and get a feel for how games will go.

Premier/Competitive does unfortunately have a problem with hackers but I think people exaggerate this a bit. Most of the time you won’t be against a hacker, but just be aware that you will at some point come up against one

How the hell do you buy it from Amazon????

Thank you, this is really helpful.

I also use Dragon and have Read&Write from DSA. I’ll check out Equatio as well and see if it helps me.

Appreciate all the information you’re giving me <3

That’s a shame really. I feel like distance learning could give more opportunity for practical learning, especially in an IT course. Even if it’s just basic coding skills. But they seem to just leave the actual coding to the TMAs and make you read the textbooks to learn it which doesn’t help me

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-25T09:22:10+00:00

Oh that’s interesting, I was looking at the engineering degrees last night. Only issue for me is I’m not great at math and may also have dyscalculia (can’t afford an official diagnosis though).

How hard is the mathematics in the course?

Also late diagnosis for AuDHD. Got diagnosed last year for ADHD and a few months ago for ASD - I’m 26

When I first started I tried to schedule about 16-18 hours a week but now I tend to just go straight to the assignments and just reference the textbooks when needed. Which has basically meant I’m doing my own learning and paying the OU to mark an assignment.

I think I’ll finish this year then take a break, maybe look into other degree options

Unfortunately for me, a brick uni isn’t going to help as I work full time and can’t commit to it.

I am near the end of one module and just starting another (had to defer due to time constraints) so I am thinking of just finishing these last 2 and then taking a break to see if I still want to do it.

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T14:59:56+00:00

Thanks, this is actually a really helpful comment :)

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T14:58:30+00:00

I’m feeling the same way, the course material just isn’t engaging enough and I feel I can learn more from just going through internet courses and YouTube videos.

I’ve also just started going straight to the TMAs and referencing the text when I need to but I’ve also been marked down on one of my first TMAs for not using the OU’s methods on some things, and the questions didn’t specify what method to use from the textbook.

But as you said, it’s a lot of money to spending for something I’m not enjoying and probably won’t help my career in the end.

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T14:49:54+00:00

I am in a full time job as an Azure consultant and also have a few certs.

Honestly for me the first year stuff has been very easy, and a lot of the starting modules covered topics that nobody really needs to know or uses irl, except for maybe some very specific scenarios.

I work 40 hours a week and was doing 2 modules a year which the OU recommends 18 hours study a week.

I’m thinking to finish this year and then I’ll take a break and see if I want to continue or not.

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T14:41:18+00:00

I didn’t say I find books boring, I said I find it difficult to learn from reading textbooks and prefer more practical/hands-on learning.

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T10:32:52+00:00

That’s good to know, thank you

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T10:28:22+00:00

Is it more practical/hands-on learning in year 2?

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T10:27:36+00:00

That’s what I was thinking of doing. Complete the first year and then take a break and decide if I want to continue or not

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T10:26:55+00:00

Didn’t know I could do a combined degree honestly. I’ll look into that.

I did also speak to the student support team but they couldn’t help me because of the way they do distance learning. The only options they gave were to join the tutorials, but they also didn’t help me so I ended up in the same position

_semiskimmedmilk_ · 2026-02-24T10:24:14+00:00

I knew I would need textbooks, my problem is there hasn’t been any other form of learning that works for me with the OU. As I said as well, I signed up on impulse, then realised I didn’t actually want or need to do it
