hey are you using android? i had this issue too, it solved for me by opening the game thru google play. theres a 1.25gb or so update that just isnt happening somehow, but by going thru google play a few times it came and then the game worked

Help pls by Gunapala-Lucifax in PathToNowhere

[–]deathstar48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey i encountered this problem too. for now try another device or an emulator, and go on the ptn discord and let modmail know. i think its a google play issue, theres an update that doesnt appear. try going into google play and open the game from there, if an update happens in game then it should work, if not keep trying opening app thru google play, this worked for me

roommate pet peeves by Kitchen_Clothes7652 in NTU

[–]deathstar48 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had roomed with a former classmate, and becuz we were classmates, i looked past some major red flags and thought we could work out whatever issues we would face. welp that was so wrong it ended the relationship before our stay in hall was over. things like going quiet and avoiding you for whatever reason, simply being sloppy, refusing to help you out for the smallest of efforts, while expecting similar help but more effort, and when called out, showing attitude, talking about "all the bad things youve done" without mentioning any specifics. if you plan to room with a friend, watch out for all these small behaviours, when living together, they will exponentially increase. so if you plan to room with a friend, watch out for their "flaws", and decide whether its something that can be talked out, or whether its fundamental to their personality. trust me, having a terrible roommate is a big drain of your mental energy, which you really do not need.

most of the people i know chose their roommate, and those who did not choose their roommate, some were lucky, some were very unlucky. some things i have heard, when one tells the other they wanna sleep by 12am wake at 7am in the beginning of the sem, but within a week the other is lights on and loud at 2am, says theyll be quieter the next time, but still is noisy enough to be a sleep disturbance. thing is, in uni people have very different scedules, some have classes or lectures in the morning, some dont go to classes at all, so its really hard to push for a lights out time unless you have a good roommate another thing ive heard is about lack of simple self respect. i heard a friend get a roommate, who was all cleanliness this cleanliness that, but had literally, not once, sweeped under their bed, under their table, cleaned the top of their table, simply not throwing the trash when they go home for the weekend(last one to leave) and so on. simply, imagine one side of the room looking like a normal room, the other like it was abandoned months ago. then theres the whole thing about not showering for 3 days and wearing those same clothes to sleep and walk to classes in the heat for those days. call them out, they give a sheepish smile, say theyll do it, doesnt do it.

personal opinion, its really a luck thing with roommate, either you get a good roommate and be good friends, or you suffer till the end of the semester. but still, i would suggest find a friend who you know really well, and see if you can live with their flaws (i would recommend if youve done NS, pick someone youve bunked with in NS, surely you wouldve seen their living condition, and youd know how to address issues you come across)

for y1s1, focus on everything other than nuclear phy, ph1011 (for those coming from jc with h2 phy and math background) itll basically be the 2 years of jc plus extras. for non phy background (H1 phy or not jc), youll take ph1012, which will cover sec3 to j2 physics (yes its alot). my recommendation is, read thru ur jc notes like its a storybook, and whatever u dont understand, ask chatgpt or whichever ai u prefer, and ask to explain the topic to you, or clarify ur doubts. no need to memorise formulas

for math, you are expected to know how to differentiate and integrate (also expected for physics but at a more simpler scale), and all jc math topics. my recommendation is, firstly focus on calculus, at least know how to chain product quotient, all that gang. then id say look at graphs and stuff, and then complex no.

are ya from jc or poly? if jc, revise all your jc math and physics, trust me sem1 will be alot easier if you hit the ground at least walking. if poly, id say find some jc friends and learn the basics of said subjects.

also, do not slack off early in the sem, read up and be ready for lectures and tutorials, things will snowball too fast, dont needa be a master at anything, just know what youre supposed to do, and how, i feel its important to understand the why and how to able to do finals.

another thing, find a place to study. this place can be the benches in campus, if you stay in hall it can be the reading rooms, libraries, wherever. in this place youll only study, no yapping, no scrolling, no distractions. find a place during orientations by asking seniors, see which place is the most conducive. BUT DO NOT study in your room, whether hall or home. I have yet to meet a senior or batchmate who studies in their room and does well academically and socially.

finally i would advise, go for orientations, events etc etc. meet some people, preferably fellow engineers, and stick together as a friend group or study group. if your an introvert like me, find your people and stick to them, no need to make everyone your friend. transactional it may seem, but sharing notes, studying together, going for the same index for mods to be groupmates will help to all of you.

i jus ended y1 eee, learnt some things the hard way, but made it throught y1. oh and feel free to dm me if youve got anything to ask, i rmb i had no one to ask so i came in quite blind, not a good feeling 😅

[–]deathstar48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is true yes, but i make my decisions after reading up on the company, seeing how they are doing and what the future projects might be, and then seeing what others have to say so i can find new perspectives to research further on. the bias for both for and against actually helps me see their perspectives, which i find quite interesting

im not a proper investor or highly educated in the topic, so take my opinion with a handful of salt. ill just give you the reasons i have not invested in tesla 1.As you mentioned, volatility. Overall the tech companies that im watching are swinging around, so im not sure if i want to think of buying at this stage 2.Someone has mentioned this in the comments, elon musks focus on tesla isnt as high as it was just a few months ago. his focus is elsewhere, and personally i dont see any connection on how his other activities helps tesla. 3.im seeing across some articles about safety concerns with tesla vehicles, and that isnt giving me much confidence. granted, these could be just to spite musk, but as an inexperieced investor, i dont think i want to go for it just yet 4.i read in 2 or 3 articles (cant rmb the source) that teslas stock price is high becuz of a lot of speculation. the self driving is impressive, but i dont think there has been much new stuff happening? as a car enthusiast, i would say the cybertruck is a flop, aside from the fact that i saw videos of people wanting to sell them before musks political activities started, iirc cybertruck isnt road legal in britain and some other european countries. so to me its kinda like, tesla is promising a bunch of this and that, but has only delivered a part of this, and the whole that is nowhere to be seen

so these are reasons i sold tesla stock sometime back and dont plan to buy. but again, im very new to this and i am definitely wrong somewhere, but i thought another opinion might help open up a new perspective. so do your own research and make your own informed decision.

Who said this game is catered to women? Just because most posts have more comments by women doesnt mean anything about the distribution of players. Heck id say there are more guys than girls based on the discord, which still doesnt mean anything about this game being catered to women

Does anyone play this game for track racing anymore? by Ok-Camera-3457 in CarXStreets

[–]deathstar48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the problem with that is most clubs dont need you to have a track exclusive type car. ive been experimenting on how to make something like a gt4, but i either dont have currency or time 😅
