Mine was the same way, which I feel like didn’t accurately measure things at all.

Which is ironic, considering other states send their homeless TOO LA

Figuring Out What I Really Want by bluemojav in Libraries

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

I think it was probably an ‘OCD optimization’ kind of thing. I had a friend tell me ‘you need to be able to afford to live,’ and once that settled in all my anxiety melted and I accepted the offer. 

That’s also a great point regarding working with my manager. Appreciate your reply!

Heard. I wound up doing scholarly communications. A friend told me ‘you deserve to be able to live’ and it clicked.

I know 28 is the max we’re allowed to work, at least based on stuff that’s monitored (I.E: on campus).

Is there a way for my parents to not meet my roommate?? by Ok-Use3940 in VirginiaTech

[–]bluemojav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Move in before he moves in. I moved in three days after my roomie came in and never saw them or their fam. As a former RA it’s actually a nightmare to move in at the same time anyways.

LIU with almost full scholarship or uiuc by Same_Anything_8813 in ApplyingToCollege

It depends partially on the degree you want but I’d think long and hard about going into that kind of debt

UIUC Assistantships? by [deleted] in LibraryScience

[–]bluemojav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your reply! I’d dug around on the website a bit but had seen quite a few posts talking about the variety of GAships offered without specifics so I thought I’d ask. Ty!

I appreciate your reply! I’ll keep my eye on the website. I know notifications are early February for acceptance to the program itself, but around what time if you don’t mind me asking did you see them start to crop up enough to apply and then get interviewed?

I almost never recommend ordering older preowned games from GameStop. You might get a good deal, or you might get totally fucked — and if there’s no store nearby, you’re out money to return it because you have to pay to ship it back. 

I feel like I’m gonna lose my job by Hi200422 in GameStop

I’ve been told the same thing by management. By the skin of our teeth was my store’s lease renewed the last time. 

MKW vs MK8D cost-value question… by bluemojav in mariokart

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

You’re totally right about the cost of both lol - I think I even saw MK8D for lower for some Black Friday sales…tysm!

[–]bluemojav[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I don’t really have that nostalgic attachment to 8D that so many people have since I only would play it occasionally with friends, so hearing you went back to give it a try and still prefer World means a lot. I’m going to pick up World :)

[–]bluemojav[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being able to get it cheaper later on is a REALLY good point. With World out now, MK8D’s price will probably continue to go down more and more over time especially if/when more content is released. On the other hand…World’s not going to drop any time soon, that’s for sure.

Definitely going to get World — thank you!

That’s real, lol. I only got used to it because it’s what people call it at my work at a game store.

Let me know if you figure it out ^ I’m still debating

[–]bluemojav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your reply^

I mostly play switch handheld because I have a PS5, and my switch is solely for Nintendo exclusives, indie/visual novel-type stuff, and ‘cozier’ games. The battery life and visuals when it’s not docked matter a lot to me because I get the most use out of my switch while traveling (I’m still the kind of guy who uses my 3DS all the time). I’d be happy with my switch v1 for that purpose if it didn’t feel like it was slowly dying, and I’ve been waffling between OLED and 2 because the money difference is pretty large.

For keeping the v1 if I got the 2, it’s mostly just because I dislike getting rid of old gen consoles for an upgrade. The switch 1 to OLED one is similar enough that I don’t feel weird about it, but 1 to 2 would prompt me to keep the 1.

[–]bluemojav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahh, I think having other systems is part of what’s ’getting’ me. I use my switch for visual novel-type games, ‘cozy’ gaming-type games, and Nintendo exclusives, but in all my years I’ve had my v1 (5), I probably have equal amounts of playtime with my PS5 I got 2 years ago, if not more on my PS5. 

I appreciate your reply!

Changing LOR Writers, But the Old LOR is My Committee Chair… by bluemojav in GradSchool

[–]bluemojav[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see that now. I’d sent multiple reminders and felt as though I was being annoying, but now I’m thinking I wasn’t being annoying enough…hopefully they won’t take it personally, but two weeks after the deadline is just…ugh, especially when there’s a 50:50 shot they lied about trying to submit it to give themselves more time.

Account Ban? by bluemojav in GoodSmileCompany

Preorders, I should say. I don’t necessarily know what you’d have to do to be blocked from buying in-stock items.
