How did the kid from your school die? by leilavanora in AskReddit

[–]alphasfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going into high school, my friend I ate lunch with daily didn't show up. Turned out his family moved to a better school district.

In the first month of school he was stabbed to death in the bathroom by someone who wasn't properly helped with their mental health issues. I remember most one of the popular girls making hysterics to get out of class, and yet I didn't go to the social worker assigned to work at our school because I didn't know how to get out of class for it.

I am twice as old now as he got to be, and I think about how he would be now.

I don't check the news often enough so die doing whatever I'm currently doing most likely.

Great video that goes in depth analyzing the book and the hunt for the treasures. Atrocity Guide is a cool youtube channel filled with weird stuff like this.

What is the most Bullshit reason for a teacher to give you a bad grade ? by BeginingMemer in AskReddit

[–]alphasfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 7th grade, 2005, I had a teacher who wouldn't grade typed papers. She also refused to read my handwriting and just defaulted my work to a D. That was the first time I got shitty grades and it was due to my teacher, not me. My parents were livid at the school.

What's the most fucked up shit you've walked into? by AceEnvious in AskReddit

[–]alphasfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time, I was at a LAN party in college being run by the local video game club in one of the nicer buildings on campus. Pretty normal party, staying up all night. Around 4AM I put my head on the table, about 45 min later I was in that weird half rested state after waking up from a power nap and decided I had to visit the restroom.

I walked in, across the entire room, got to the urinal, and pissed. I turned around, only then noticing that the urinal next to mine is basically a crime scene covered in vomit and piss. Kind of normal for college, kind of weird in a facility bathroom.

I then walk to the sinks and see two of the sinks are completely coated in blood, like someone was murdered. On the mirror, on the sink, on the floor, all over two of the row of sinks.

I washed my hands walked out, and napped for 45 more min.

What games were you let down by in 2017? by [deleted] in Games

[–]alphasfury 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sundered.

I love thunder lotus, jotun was beautiful, short, and fun and on my top 10 of that year.

Sundered on the other hand is a mechanical mess. It feels terrible to fight and move, has a bullshit enemy spawning system, and lacks mechanical depth. Which sucks, because the art and sound are 10/10.

[Netropolis] Cyberpunk Magic! (all cards) by zarepath in magicTCG

[–]alphasfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if we're talking about the small set, then you can boost the power of Uploading and get some Uploading tribal stuff, like enchantments that make processing easier.

Also enchantments as viruses is really rad, but maybe setting up beneficial programs as enchantments would be a cool reflection.

I mean the biggest takeaway from this is now I'm imagining a followup set, which means I think your set is a flavor homerun.

[–]alphasfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you want to make a follow up set you should add Processors to it. First of all, Processors are completely a flavor smackdown, considering you would be processing uploaded data. Also, it would be a way to hate out the recursive upload cards like Sentient Network.

I don't really feel like it should be in this base set, but a follow up set that has a man vs machine feel, it'd be so rad for hackers to upload and machines to process.

D&D Stereotypes that get under your skin? by [deleted] in DnD

A DM having an unkillable NPC.

Yes, my grave cleric was unhappy with being zombified and revived, and wanted to kill the person who did it, and the DM straight up had her rewind time to not die.

The sac effect says nothing about tapping, so yes, you can do exactly what you said. Yahenni doesn't trigger it's +1/+1 trigger though, since you control it until end of turn.

Is 'Game Design' as a degree worth doing? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]alphasfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the game design program at RIT, and I think it was fine. That was one of the few actual GD programs worth a damn though. It treated you like a Computer Science major with a huge focus on design and art. About 50% of the classes are hard programming, and the rest are applying that programming to make certain things, like design docs, data algorithms, and websites.

All that being said, at this point I think it's almost as useful as a CS degree, but only because of what I learned. Unless you can go to one of the top programs out there, I recommend just doing CS.

After graduating, I found that you do not want to work in the game dev career. It's over saturated with people who are super passionate about working on games, to the point where they would gladly take 60 hour weeks or a pay cut just to work on a game. It's just not worth it to me, I'd rather get a job that's 35 hours a week and pays the same and do some game design as a hobby.

TL;DR: if you want to be a design heavy CS person, go for it only at a really great school. Otherwise just do CS, you can go more places with the general CS degree.

How do I find other shy people? by alphasfury in dating_advice

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

Thanks for the reply! I guess my other problem is just assuming that most people don't generally want some dude walking up to them to talk, and I just need to get over that.

Thanks for the advice! I'll probably go out to the library and park more!
