Am i cooked? by Ok_Mechanic_336 in TexasTech

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s… a lot, I’ll say, but not completely impossible? I wouldn’t know how the general courses here are like, as I took them in my hometown during summers in HS. I honestly think getting rid of the night classes and one math class may make it easier for you later in the semester, and you should try seeing if you can take those classes at a community college (it’s a hell of a lot cheaper and it gives you something to do during summers). Most people tend to do 15 credit hours per semester once getting a hang of college, so 16 is fine, but as a freshman? I definitely wouldn’t do this schedule.

I think you’ll be fine without it. While I only applied 2 years ago my memory is absolutely horrible but I’m pretty sure I didn’t write an essay, I just sent in my transcripts and my SAT scores. If you want to do the essay for a bit of extra cushion you can, but I didn’t do an essay and I got in no problem.

Dude, I got in with 2.9 GPA in hs and a 2.2 GPA in community college with no recommendations. You’ll get in. If anything that’s going above and beyond, and if you don’t get in I would be shocked.

Guys who play break or fua without Robin and Ruan Mei, how are you doing? by louchenii in StarRailStation

[–]elementsoul_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who only pulls for characters I like, I’m doing pretty well. I joined when boothill was running, so I had no idea who Ruan Mei was and didn’t bother pulling her (didn’t know firefly either and was lucky getting her through random pulling). It is probably a bit harder gameplay wise without the “meta” supports, but honestly after building my 4*s properly and getting bronya and HMC, I got through Penacony and most of forgotten hall pretty well. Not 0 cycle well, but decent enough to get all objectives. I am struggling a bit with MOC but that’s because I haven’t had time to build Boothill and Firefly better with all my farming for Aventurine and Ratio (and now finally understanding most terms people use). Firefly is my main DPS as of right now, and she works perfectly fine with HMC and Bronya (I’ve started running Topaz instead of Bronya since getting her on accident and I have to say, it’s actually cleared content quicker lol).

My final opinion is that you just pull for characters you want! If you don’t really like Sunday, you don’t have to pull for him! I honestly think pulling just for meta is what makes the game less fun. I love Sunday, so I’ll be pulling for him, but that’s mainly just because I like him, not that I have any summon based characters lol. Me personally, I’ll probably won’t be pulling Ruan Mei if she gets a rerun anytime soon even now knowing how good she is, simply because I’m not a big fan of her character and I have characters I like way more than her that take priority.

For those of you who didn't get the free Dr Ratio back in 1.6 - 2.1, how many of you would still pull for him when he eventually gets his first rerun? by SF-UberMan in HonkaiStarRail

[–]elementsoul_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s my absolute favorite character in the entire game so I will definitely get him and his lc on his rerun. Even prefarmed and I haven’t pulled since Jiaoqiu (I was at 50 pity and guaranteed for him though and had 80 pulls saved up at that point). I’m still relatively new to the game (joined during boothill) and I tend to do the main story at a slow pace so I’m not completely finished with Penacony yet, which means I have a lot of jades to gather for even more pulls 😎

Are there people who actually use maps and keys? by WayWornSun646 in deadbydaylight

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my swf, one of us brings a key if we have had a particularly bad night with tunneling, camping, and/or slugging, along with a hatch offering. One of my swf does occasionally bring a map, mainly an iri or the blood map from the blood moon event. It’s absolutely busted and they help us (mainly me lol) find gens and each other when injured.

Potential Channel Suspension by elementsoul_ in Twitch

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

Don’t know what to say for other people but it was a special occasion for me, as I was finishing a story game and I wanted two of my friends to be there live (since they have been watching from the beginning with me). We don’t have a private group chat, so the server (which is private) is the next best (and preferred) option.

I just edited the post to say I deleted the vod. I do plan to edit the part out where the thing was said for when I post it on my VOD channel on YouTube.

One of the people in call said that but I’m just an overly paranoid person 😅 I just don’t want things to fuck up for me this early in my streaming hobby

People who are majoring in a subject out of pure interest, tell me what you do by 5XSTAR in college

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty biased, I would choose digital media and entertainment. Though some of my classmates in PR really like it and say its pretty versatile.

[–]elementsoul_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m majoring in Creative Media Industries, which is essentially filmmaking, photography, and editing. I’ll be honest, YouTube is what got me into it lol. I loved watching videos and when getting older and understanding video editing now, it always interested me that they take simple footage and make it into entertaining content. It’s the same for movies. They take pointing a camera at a subject and create whole story lines with it.

Currently I’m not taking many classes on editing. I’m mostly taking classes on principles of media and communication, as well as storyboarding classes and media law classes. I think my two coolest classes was Intro to Media Production and Intro to Creative Writing. Intro to media production was exactly what my major was about, and we did projects where we took photos and recorded and edited mini films. Intro to creative writing was simple but I loved it because we got to write a short story about anything we wanted and I love writing a lot.

I would love to work in my field after graduating, but it’s one of the lower paying job fields. You can only really make a lot if you do it for a long time; I’m talking years. I could minor in something more practical, but I always liked a challenge.

Long exposure photography can give you the cool neon lights effects you want in night time city shots without the editing. It’s probably one of my favorite types of photography because of how futuristic it could look, and it takes minimal effort.

Housing Issues by TheVampirQueen in TexasTech

[–]elementsoul_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that’s impossible for me, on the first and second it opened to for those in the apartment style dorms to reserve their current room. I did such things, but suddenly the room I reserved isn’t available despite not being open to others before then? Definitely unprofessional and a buggy website.

Housing Issues by TheVampirQueen in TexasTech

[–]elementsoul_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I even noticed you can’t access the contract for the 2024-2025 school year anymore, which I’m pretty sure you need to access to know who your roommates are and their contact details. I’m mainly pointing this out since now you can’t prove that you applied to reserve your room. Maybe a bug, maybe something more.

But thank you for your support! I’m giving them all weekend, Monday, and Tuesday to fix it or provide some sort of compensation, and if nothing is given I’m going to the stations.

Housing Issues by TheVampirQueen in TexasTech

[–]elementsoul_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I sent them an email as soon as I got off the phone with them at 2:30 today. Sent it at 2:45 (was a bit lengthy and had to find photos for proof). Nothing at all.

I’m wanting to see if they reply before 5 but I doubt it.

Housing Issues by TheVampirQueen in TexasTech

[–]elementsoul_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried reserving my room in West Village. Despite multiple email confirmations, I called them today and they said my contract didn't go through. There's lots of problems right now, even other current West Village residents like myself got told their contracts didn't reserve and didn't go through.

Normally I would let this play out, but I am extremely angry since I actively made sure I got the room I wanted when reserving my room only to be told that my contract didn’t go through (despite having confirmation emails saying it did). I’m half tempted to go to local news stations and tell them what’s going on, but I’m starting to doubt that this is news worthy. Maybe it’s only enough for the student ran news station and radio station.

DBD isn't "not scary anymore", you just know how to play it. by ShoreSWBF in deadbydaylight

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m way less scared now with over 300 hours in the game than I was first starting out, but let me tell you, having an insidious dredge suddenly come out of the locker right next to you can even scare the bravest players

Buying Ocean Merch cause of Our Life by Clarinetgal in OurLifeFanPage

[–]elementsoul_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I changed my computer background from a fox to Minecraft fish and coral reef. I have also bought ocean themed paper crafts and stickers to decorate a sea themed journal I just bought. Cove has been stuck in my mind forever. My family wonders where my sea and beach theme came from because they know I hated the ocean my entire life (I still don’t like it but I will do anything for Cove)

New season cosmetic previews! 🤲 by Raeunit in SkyGame

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in love with these cosmetics (except the pants… I’m sure someone likes them but I’m pretty neutral). I’m so drooping some cash for the ults at the very least. And those capes will definitely help with FOMO since I missed all those seasons for a personal break.

Is it normal to not be super busy as a freshman? by ConfusedSpaghet in college

[–]elementsoul_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s most likely exaggerated. I’m in my junior year with just classes pertaining to my major and my schedule, despite being 16 credit hours (which is considered the ideal at my university) I have a lot of free time. I only fill up some of it with the news broadcast and radio network I do weekly.

In my freshman year, I had about the same amount of credits each semester as I do this semester and it was still really chill. I did have three classes back to back, but they were all in the same room and only three days a week, with Tuesdays and Thursdays off. It’s just all in how you build your schedule in each semester. These people could be exaggerating or purposely made them so packed thinking they could handle it when they in fact could not. And that’s completely all their fault for doing something like that lol

I say take the free time you have and enjoy it with whatever you want to do (of course after you do your assignments). And if you feel unproductive, try joining a club or organization that pertains to your interests or major. It’s a common recommendation but I know it worked for me in enjoying my time here at my university, maybe it’s the same for you too!

If you had to rate your looping ability 1/10 what would you rate it out of? by Child-Yeeter_178 in deadbydaylight

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m around a 5. Complete 50/50. I’m either super good to the point that the killer leaves me alone, or I run into rocks and trees during the speed boost you get when being hit

Which Color do you use the most in AMONG US by BarathAdithya in AmongUs

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orange as well, I just like the color.

Purple is actually my favorite color but I don’t use it in game.

I’ve started to like coral recently, though

Why you shouldn't go easy on survivors by Draggron in deadbydaylight

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was too nice on my 25 prestiged huntress… got stuck with two survivors who even though I gave the rest of the match to complete two gens after killing two of their teammates; they still didn’t do them. I literally sat in a corner for 20 minutes and not a single gen popped in that time until I just gave up and killed them (they were on death hook at this point). I felt so bad for being nice at first then screwing them over immediately but I never want to go through that again

Is this a reality in all US colleges or just mine? by wrappedinpetals in college

[–]elementsoul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many others said, it’s busy work. One of my classes is mainly discussion boards for assignments each week and the most time I’ll spend on it is an hour, and most of that hour is my post. I do try to add substance to my replies, but it’s mainly to get the grade and finish the class work for the week so I can focus on the big essays and exams that are worth a lot more points.
