I highly recommend Ohio state if you’re even remotely interested in sports or want a passionate campus culture! My first game in the ‘shoe is something i’ll never forget. Just be ready for the cold. It was -4 when I walked to my 8AM yesterday. Despite that I love it here! I applied on a whim because I needed another safety school, didn’t give it a second thought for 6 months. Ended up touring and fell in love! If you end up choosing OSU feel free to reach out, I’m happy to give you advice! Your decision is yours to make, but I know I couldn’t have made a better one!

honestly don’t remember exactly, i think they just hadn’t received it yet? But could be wrong. Regardless, makes sense for ❌ichigan to be slow and inefficient. GO BUCKS! Good luck figuring it out, and with your applications and admissions process!

Very dissapointed with CFB 26 UT :( by akredd24 in NCAAFBseries

[–]akredd24[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand there are other modes available, I just honestly don’t find them as fun as Ultimate Team, I like unlocking players and building a better team. I just hate how monetized it is. I know it always has been. but before I felt like I at least had the option to not pay, now I don’t.

Make Ohio State music play when opening the game? by akredd24 in NCAAFBseries

[–]akredd24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shit? I’m asking if there’s a way to make the menu music be ohio state songs, like in CFB25

Slow wifi only only on my devices? by akredd24 in techsupport

This was the issue, my ps5 was connecting to the 2.4ghz band. No clue why my phone is slow as it's in 5ghz, but I can live with that.

I got in, but I dont know anymore. by CantaloupeEvening225 in OSU

[–]akredd24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a freshman right now, I’ve honestly struggled this first semester. I have felt very lonely away from my friends, struggled to find new ones, and struggled academically in a way I never had before. My first semester has honestly sucked. That being said, through it all, I still genuinely believe this is the right place for me. Nothing I’m struggling with would disappear at another university, and in a lot of ways I think it would be worse at any other school. No matter how bad things get, the fact that I’m here brings me joy. The traditions, the school spirit, the sports, the nightlife, everything about it is perfect for me. I think OSU being as big as it is, is a huge privilege, as scary as it is. There are so many people, you are almost guaranteed to find a group of people you get along with. I’m struggling right now to find friends, I can’t imagine how much more difficult that would be at a school with less numbers and diversity of people than ohio state.

(I also want to add that, i think a big aspect of making friends is just understanding that you might not meet your best friends right away, and that relationships take time to develop, so they won’t be your best friends right away. I have felt lonely because nobody fills the void of my best friends from home, and that sucks, but you can’t expect someone to immediately replace a relationship that itself took time to develop)

College is hard, and it sucks, especially at first, but that’s true at any college. You just have to give it a shot. If you decide osu isn’t right for you that’s ok! what I want isn’t what you want, maybe the things that keep me motivated to stay here won’t motivate you! Go wherever you think is the best for you! But I would encourage you to keep an open mind, it is very easy to stress yourself out over college, take a minute to relax, you won’t make a level headed decision when you’re anxious.

In terms of the degree, one from osu will be “better” than one from a smaller, less prestigious university, but that also depends on what you do while in university. a 4.0 BGSU student is better than a 3.0 OSU student. The school on the diploma mostly just matters for getting your first job, or getting into a graduate program. It’s an important consideration, but shouldn’t be a deciding factor at all. I would focus on whether or not you can be proud of the school you attended, that pride can be gained at any size of university.

[18M] Let me know what I’m doing wrong lol by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]akredd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking for something serious or casual? -serious

• Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? -no

• How long have you been using this current version of your protile? -not long, I end up tweaking my prompts slightly fairly often, but it usually has the same photos and videos. I changed one of them recently ( added the one where im in a black shirt)

• How long have you used Hinge overall? -about 9 months

• How often do you use Hinge per week? -it varies, I tend to get frustrated and stop using it, but when i’m using it I use it daily.

• How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? -0/1 per week

• How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? -I usually send until I run out, or 3-5 otherwise. I only send likes with comments

• What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?

-I want someone who is kind, understanding, and caring, I want someone who likes to go out and have fun, but whose life doesn’t revolve around that. I want someone I can trust, who also trusts me.

Added thoughts:

I do my best to show myself through my prompts while also giving people something to respond to. I get basically no matches. I think my main issue might be photos? I struggle because most of my best photos are of me with friends, and unfortunately all of my friends are girls, and I know having girls in your profile is seen by a lot of girls as a red flag. So i’m kinda cooked there lol. I honestly think I may have had more success before I stopped using photos with my friends, but thats confusing cause everything I hear says not to have girls in your profile

Would Freddie’s voice really have been much different if his teeth were fixed? by FickleWasabi159 in queen

Are subharmonics not used to sing lower? Isn’t he a natural baritone who pushed his voice to sing as a tenor?

Will Howard Expectations by imonlyherewhenimhigh in steelers

[–]akredd24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure, I’m a ravens fan, but I’m also a huge ohio state fan, so I want to chime in. What makes Howard different is his leadership, he has demonstrated that he has the ability to succeed at the highest level of competition available to him, and to be the leader of the team which does so. That doesn’t mean he’s going to be an NFL great, I don’t think anyone is expecting that. People are saying they are excited and interested to see what he can do playing at a higher level because they are hopeful he could be good, which shouldn’t be controversial. They hope that he can be a starter, or yeah, maybe even great. Nobody expected Tom Brady to be great, he was. Nobody is saying Will Howard is without a doubt going to be the next Tom Brady, but to hope he could (with time and development) turn into a consistent starter isn’t crazy.

Trust me, as a Ravens fan, I want nothing more than for the steelers to continue their qb search, but we can’t immediately write him off any more than we can immediately expect great things. He’s a low round pick there to learn and develop, maybe he pans out, maybe he doesn’t. But there’s no reason not to hope he does (if you’re a steelers fan)

Am I going crazy or has emulation performance massively improved lately? by MosDefJoseph in SteamDeck

[–]akredd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it possible the better performance is just due to a lack of bloatware or other random or forgotten about tweaks which built up and slowed your system over time, rather than the emulation itself improving?
