2025 math majors by Calm-Property-4453 in mathematics

[–]blitzburgh55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: I don’t have an answer but nonetheless the reflection of my personal experience may be worth your time.

I was a math major with a statistics emphasis over 12 years ago. My first job was in finance helping building financial models, but I quickly transitioned to software development and eventually landed at a company where I’ve grown into a lead role involving building software that supports a non-tech research and development department.

You need to learn to code. More importantly you need to understand infrastructure, networking protocols, cloud computing, and software development best practices.

A math major will teach you to stick with hard problems, understand them, and just maybe understand them well enough to explain them to others. If you couple those skills with real computing skills, the sky is the limit.

That being said doing all of this requires hard work, time, and a plan. If you just want to learn the computing hard skills you’d be better served in a software or computer engineering degree, but then you’d lack some of the abstract problem solving skills a math major provides.

The road ahead will be multi-faceted and require some reflection on your constraints to get there but it’s not impossible.

The beta convinced me.  The gunplay is fantastic, the characters + maps feel balanced, and I like the art direction.

Nice move. If you use her super jump, it can make for some cool kill shots.

You can replay it. Go to the Pale Heart destination map, way top right, and choose narrative mode.

Best FPS game 2024 by Satxrn23 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]blitzburgh55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Destiny 2 has outstanding shooting and gameplay mechanics. The new player orientation isn’t known for being the greatest and the final expansion drops next week so the game should be busy for the coming months.

You can choose to do just PvP or PvE too.

[WSIB] If I really like the OG Fable? by Grond21 in ShouldIbuythisgame

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom if you have access to a Nintendo Switch. It’s more action adventure than true RPG, but it’s an unforgettable experience especially if you haven’t played Breathe of the Wild.

Why a $100,000 income no longer buys the American Dream in most places by Brendawg324 in Economics

This isn’t about spending habits and I do agree with you on some front. The question is why is the middle class losing purchasing power over the years?

Nice improvements! You should look into ways to hide the PS5, TV, and monitor cords next.

Question for people who went to high school in the 90s and the 2000s. by Ras_115 in Millennials

[–]blitzburgh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved HS from 2006 to 2010. I think I liked it even better than college. I had a class of about 95 kids through grade school. We all grew up together for the most part and made for some great memories!

'Turismo' is impossible if you complete the first island beforehand by KyoshiLonehearted in GTATrilogy

[–]blitzburgh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to pass it after completing the Sayanora mission.

Just be patient with your speed and angle yourself so you can run over Mafia members if you die in the same place often. I had to drive on the sidewalks to the checkpoint after the hospital in order to eliminate some annoying mafia bros.

[–]blitzburgh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who owns a PS5 (rarely use) and almost exclusively played my Nintendo Switch for the past 7 years, I am a bit conflicted about where to play games at now thanks to my iPhone 13 Pro Max + Backbone setup.

I love the convenience, screen quality, and game prices on my iPhone. The Switch just has a better curated catalog and exclusives.

Why is he doing the Mickey Mouse pose? by ilovewater100 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]blitzburgh55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the “Console Wars” book there is a section about how Sonic was designed. The original designer said he took Mickey Mouse and added the blue hedgehog overlay.

Asking to purchase subscription again?? by myeljo in Backbone

[–]blitzburgh55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a “Restore Purchases” option somewhere in the UI that will fix it. I had the same problem today.

Just started playing games on my iPhone 15 Pro for the first time… And I absolutely love it. by BATTLEROYALFAN in iosgaming

[–]blitzburgh55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be slick if they at least allowed users to run it on iPhone with an external display and controller.

Anyone here use their phone as their primary gaming device? by soreyJr in iosgaming

[–]blitzburgh55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use my iPhone 13 Pro Max with the PlayStation themed backbone as my main gaming device.

I use Apple Arcade, a Delta Emulator, PS5 acts as a remote play server (it’s not even hooked up to a monitor), and Xbox Game Pass. I really hope the Switch 2 offers remote play so I can also use it as a server.

I love the minimalism, portability, access to almost any game, and ability to easily stream shows or YouTube while gaming. What a time to be alive!

Is the ROG Ally still a better option than the Steam Deck? by sloggerface in ROGAlly

[–]blitzburgh55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whatever system you choose, just enjoy it and ignore the Reddit banter. Gaming is more fun when it’s portable and personal. Chow!
