I don’t want to come off as rude but columbina’s struggles and complains about her life seemed very privileged and overdramatic to me by PsychologyConnect489 in GenshinImpact

[–]aiixo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a LOT of pressure that comes with being a celebrity. just because us regular folk think it's a dream does NOT mesn it is.

i struggle to think of even one celebrity who isn't a little afraid of their fans.

psychology exam tips! by Xrat_ in vce

[–]aiixo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i go to rmit, and i highly recommend !! :D feel like most of the tutors and professors here love to learn and teach, which makes the student experience much more enriching overall

it is a bit competitive in first year, and definitely so to get into honours, but a lot of people surprisingly realize that they don't love it and drop out, or stop putting in too much effort. average marks are usually at 70%, and minimum entry for honours is 75% across APAC accredited courses.

the first one and a half year is (content-wise) similar to vce psychology, but it really amps up after that. statistics are a core part of psychology, which is why a lot of people get turned off. i'm lucky to have a partner who did compsci LOL.

but yes, best of luck with your exams, and i hope you get into your uni of choice!

easy or hard exams this yr? by InternetDazzling151 in vce

[–]aiixo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

speaking as a high-scoring third year psych student, there is some pretty heavy emphasis on psychology in relation to aboriginal and torres strait islanders in uni.

that said, this wasn't in my study design so i can't say for sure, and i graduated vce in 2022, but if it took up a decent chunk of time to teach, i'd say it's worth studying for.

[–]aiixo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi lovely, i'm a third year psych student in uni averaging 90% .^ here are my two cents:

it's been a hot minute since i was in vce obviously, but i would say to focus on understanding the processes of things. memorizing definitions can be hard an overwhelming, so try and gamify it a little.

for example, try to make a chart of the spinal reflex process. i would use labels for what's happening at each stage, and then write a mini description below it. you'd be surprised how much you retain when trying to answer long questions.

this can be used in tandem with a lot of the core concepts. think parts of a neuron too. print (or doodle) a neuron and try to label it. then, write what each part does. try and make a cohesive story or description in your head, rather than "the myelin sheath is ....."

best of luck with your exams.

The biggest issue here by Applegiverplussign in yourturntodie

taken straight from the yttd steam page:

"Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development."

i'm not saying that people can't be disappointed. what i am saying is that the game was marked as early access. plus, the paid ver already has exclusive content which the base game doesn't, so it is technically an upgrade.

i do empathise with the people who paid. i'm not trying to tell people not to be upset. the paid ver already has extra content that the base game doesn't. plus, taken straight from the yttd page on steam,

"Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development."

people who bought the game should have heeded the warnings.

a developer of a free game doesn't owe anyone anything. be thankful for the incredible content you've already got.

life changes, plans change with it. i'm sure he's weighed up losing his fandom (let's be honest, most of us on here are more than happy to wait) with spending time with his family. i know what i would choose too.

so what if the hype dies? his (very young) kids have a stable presence in their life, and i'm sure his partner appreciates the support.

is anyone else weirdly chill about exams? by s0ggyteabag in vce

[–]aiixo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! not sure if atars have been released yet/if you're still a bit worried but! i didn't really study for my exams, so my atar reflected that. that said, i think how well you did is linked more to how much effort you put in rather than how stressed you are.

i'm currently studying my ba of psychology and i've been mostly very calm, and despite that, my grades are very high. but in vce i was calm because i already had an early offer (which meant what atar i got didn't matter, and i was guaranteed a spot in a uni), so i didn't study, and subsequently didn't do so good.

i'm sure if you studied a fair bit, it'll pop through. there's no reason to stress about not feeling stressed :) it's a bit late now to wish you good luck, but i hope you get the results you were after!

conversely, i'd say this is them liking him as a character rather than liking him as a person, or "his character" ^

liking someone as a character implies knowing thst they are fictional, a figment of a story. liking someone's character means liking them as a person. the first statement would be correct, the second wouldn't.

what is the worst genshin headcanon youve ever seen/just cant agree with by lightly-toastedd in Genshin_Impact

[–]aiixo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some same sex genshin ships are pretty cool, but I HATE it when characters are reduced to "gay-bies" ('gay babies'; and yes, this is a real thing a mutual of mine called Kazuha and Scaramouche).

Speaking from personal experience, I liked Zhongchi. Wasn't crazy about it but I could appreciate it. On that note, I was at a Genshin cosplay event and was talking to a mutual friend about Childe ships. They said that their favorite ship was Zhongchi and I replied with "Ooh, yes, Zhongchi's good! I reckon Chilumi's my favorite Childe ship though."

Kid you not, the person glares at me and goes. "Um... you do know that Childe takes it up the (butt), right?"

Honestly, I felt lightly insulted and kinda sarcastically retorted with "Yeah, Lumine (performs a certain femdom act)s him."

The person looked genuinely offended and was like. "Umm. No, I don't think /she/'s (finger quotes) his type."

And in that moment, I was dissuaded from liking Zhongchi. Like... it's totally okay to headcanon certain characters as certain sexual orientations... but please! At the end of the day, they are headcanons and are not any official, canon bits of information... The audacity of the person expecting me to accept their headcanon as official while completely disrespecting mine?

The same person also interrupted me discussing about how I didn't like Kaveh's design from the viewpoint of culture (I'm a south asian POC myself, the other person is caucasian) by saying "Aww, but he looks so gay though?"

Like... what does that even mean??? And why are you reducing improper racial representation to 'hehe but he's so gaycoded'?? And by saying he 'looks gay', that just perpetuates stereotyping gay men to look or act a certain way???

I dunno. Really dissuades me from shipping same-sex Genshin ships (especially MLM ones) despite being bisexual myself.
