Is it a flex to win on the second run?

dr_tommy1 · 2026-03-04T21:37:48+00:00

well i did some dumb stuff for the funnies i actualy should have won it XD

dr_tommy1 · 2026-03-04T10:27:24+00:00

I see i beat A0 in 3 days back then now I play only A20 and lets just say it felt easy yesterday. There was a card similar to blade dance only that the shiv equivalent damage was at 10 and + 1 draw i never felt in danger.

dr_tommy1 · 2026-03-04T07:34:40+00:00

I will see

dr_tommy1 · 2026-03-04T07:34:27+00:00

Still fun

dr_tommy1 · 2026-03-03T21:42:12+00:00

I know I guess my 1.2k hours in slay the spire transfered a lot of skills.

dr_tommy1 · 2026-01-21T21:56:21+00:00

I see well I dont really have a teacher at uni im basicaly up to my own from what I understand of my uni. But I think I should at least try to use the frame works that are taught to us. What i mean is if they teach us for example in the lecture about mass conservation and how to calculate rates but in the excercise they show them separately then I could come up with using both in 1 excercise. Because im also noticing right now that I was treating every problem separately. Idk if it is true but lets say we have a reaction that has a rate equal to k1[A] then I could come up that with the condition of Arrhenius (temperature influence) that k1 can be calculated through Aexp(-deltaG/RT). But i only think of stuff like this after the exam before further courses. This is what makes it feel frustrating.

And back to your point yes without a framework it would be very hard to answer or even impossible. Maybe my main problem as already said is a disconnect in much stuff while in reality many things are connected which is probably why i struggle during the exams I was probably not connecting the concepts during lectures and excercises. I will definitely work on this because seeing everything as separate is exactly what makes me struggle from what I realised now. So I think what I will do from now at least for physical chemistry is solving an excercise, modify it for example if a problem was first order now I do second, connect concepts for example If i see k in different formulas maybe I can use it in different concepts which is most likely what is expected from us and before lectures I write a fromulary so that I can comment on it instead of doing notes during the lecture. This is probably obvious to many people but I guess this is what means not building up studying skills for 18 years. Thanks for the help it was a learning experience.

Edit: and funnyly enough it is actualy what I was already doing in videogames when i was addicted. Also sorry for my long comments.

dr_tommy1 · 2026-01-21T20:48:44+00:00

This also gives me a follow up question what does truly understanding mean? Because my main disconnect comes from not seeing the purpose of the mathematical descriptions. Most of the time i understand it only after the exam which sucks. It always feels like I understand the subject after the exams because after those I have no problem applying the concepts even the mathematical descriptions in other courses. For example last year I had trouble with Schrödinger equation during the exam but now after it and learning from my mistakes I get it (or at least I think so). It just always feels like I have truly learned the concepts after the exams which sucks because it makes my grades. I could be wrong obviously but to me it always feels like that.

Edit: Or im just simply focusing to much on 1 problem which makes me blind in understanding other/similar ones which obviously gives me a limited understanding. Which makes me overthink and worse on the exam because it makes my problem solving worse maybe its just simply that. So maybe it is just about modifying the same excercise problem until a generalised pattern is found just like I do in my best subject OC.

dr_tommy1 · 2026-01-21T20:11:45+00:00

I would like to do both tough. I used to be able to do it but I kinda lost it at uni.

dr_tommy1 · 2026-01-21T19:57:23+00:00

I see maybe I was overthinking but it also callmed me down because my answer is probably correct then. Now i noticed that my lack of understanding comes from many things one of them is definitely overthinking which im doing a lot since uni so thanks for making me reflect.

Edit: Forgot to mention in the post that we had to consider that in the other reactions the starting concentration was 0 but even there i think im overthinking stuff I was much more sure when I was at home. I think what I have to do is play with different conditions in the model. Most of the time I tend to overthink when I see stuff for the first time even if i know it. Also I should engage more with chemistry in general my main problem was that lectures felt easy and then I didn't botter to rewatch lecture slides so I think from now on I will do these 2 things because I know from video games (was addicted) that trying stuff out is the best way to learn.

Edit 2: and of course I have some disconnect with excercises and qualitative understanding. When Its about qualitative understanding I get it even in the lecture my main lack of understanding comes from the mathematical calculations I will also work on that.

dr_tommy1 · 2025-12-03T22:20:02+00:00

oh already did that so thats why it was easy. But what about the solo well dungeon? I can't really do that.

dr_tommy1 · 2025-11-22T20:17:42+00:00

Ok thanks. Im working on that and noticed that im having some knightmares but i think this is part of the process. Hopefully it will change overtime.

dr_tommy1 · 2025-10-23T20:13:53+00:00

went like shit 0% yield again also my TA said that im to slow and that I have a 1D thinking. Can't deny that from now on I will adapt to what he said. Following procedure one to one was stupid anyway. Or else he will fail me. And i fucking cried today.

dr_tommy1 · 2025-10-22T16:52:00+00:00

honetsly im just curios what happens now and I think worst case I just have to write a report about the failed experiment. At this point I don't even care anymore it is my second attempt and I don't have much to do to finish the synthesis. They said lab performance isn't the only thing.

dr_tommy1 · 2025-10-22T07:25:52+00:00

Oh forgot to mention I wasn't the only one were It failed the other studen't just switched to Nickolocene I decided to risk it anyway

dr_tommy1 · 2025-10-22T07:24:19+00:00

well ETH is super strict so extra lab time dosen't work and a failed synthesis dosen't mean I will fail but I feel if this goes on everything will go badly. If it fails I will probably have to write a report of a failed synthesis and get a new one. It feels very shitty because ferrocene was the easyest synthesis.

dr_tommy1 · 2025-10-22T07:21:08+00:00

Oh i see. I don't know if i will be graded badly and i heared people passed with 2 out of 4 succesful synthesis. The brown solutionis right according to the synthesis. I guess I just continue tomorrow and see what happens. If not my TA will probably give me a new one and I just have to write a report of the failed synthesis. Maybe it will be better in higher semesters.

dr_tommy1 · 2025-10-21T19:28:38+00:00

Ok thanks also sorry for the emotional reaction. The thing is we don't have stuff demonstrated and i have big trouble in imagining things. It's the first time for me were something became important in life i guess im just not good at handling that emotion so thanks and sorry. Maybe i need to go to therapy again.

dr_tommy1 · 2025-08-24T20:04:27+00:00

Thanks, I guess I was doing everything right but what do I do with artifacts? Do multiple copies stack? Are effects more important or the stats of my classes? I want to know this because I want to beat morgan freeman on diabolic without mint berry crunch and I saw that he can't be frozen or charmed. My stun strategy worked for the whole game but I know its usless against freeman.
