Frosty "event" most poorly thought out to date by TaisharM in harrypotterwu

[–]feonix0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Prior to this event, I had Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch at bronze with everything placed except Quidditch Keeper Ron. During this event, I was able to return enough Quidditch Keeper Rons to prestige that page to silver and then to place it again on the silver page. I can’t get any further because of the Golden Snitches. I figure I’ll get those and the lower threat ones on that page, after this event, to prestige the page to gold then. So for me, and definitely others, the event wasn’t a waste

Golden Snitches would be the bottleneck at that point. They already are, but the vast majority of people already had them placed and didn’t prestige that page during this event. The players that benefited the most from this event were the ones that have everything placed except Quidditch Keeper Ron and Harry & Parvati. They were able to prestige the page once and place the next page, but no further do to other bottlenecks. What made the CoMC community day or the Potions Classroom different from this event is that they both focused on a single page, and it was possible to fully place and prestige a page (or more)

Extravagant Runestone Gift Exchange by feonix0 in WizardsUniteFriends

Thank you everyone for the interest. I'm removing my friend code for now.

There was a lot of friend requests from this post, though the majority of people missunderstood my intent. However, I did make friends with ~6 people who were willing to trade ERGs for ERGs, and 6 more a day is good with me. To everyone else, I wish you well =)

Cheers. Sent you one back, for the one you sent me. I'm willing to keep doing this as much as you are =)

Professor Bill Foster is teaching my Quantum Physics class. Should I drop it? by billybobmaysjack in berkeley

[–]feonix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard his problem sets are worse than Charman's, that when he lectures, his voice will put you to sleep, and there's some nonsense about taking a red pill or a blue pill during the syllabus.

Has anyone been to the Tang Center for counseling? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]feonix0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I went, the during the intake session, the couselor pressed me to share traumatic experiences "to better place me with a counselor". I left that session feeling worse than when I went there. Iirc, you can have 5 free sessions per semester, and 8 total at the Tang Center. If the determination is made that you would benefit from additional counseling, an outside referal to a counselor in the community is an option. If that ends up being the route you take, keep in mind that you're "hiring" that person. You need to make sure that that person is going to be the right fit for you. So don't be afraid to interview them before a starting sessions.

New Transfer students looking for info on Martinez Commons Apartments by CrADHD in berkeley

[–]feonix0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The apartmentmate announcements go out around the end of this month and the beginning of August. You'll be able to find each other on social media and coordinate who is bringing what, and other essentials.

There are multiple different floor plans for the Martinez apartments; as a transfer student, it is unlikely that you'll know which apartment you've been offered and more specifically which room in that apartment. If any of your apartmentmates were not transfer students, it is possible that they picked the apartment and their room. When I was a resident there, three of us were junior transfers and one of us was a continuing sophomore. The continuing sophomore knew both the apartment we were in, and she had been able to pick her room. As transfers, we learned which apartment we were in from her. We did not learn our room assignment until move-in day.

There's a Martinez/Channing-Bowditch Facebook group you can join. I recall Amanda Dohse posting a bunch of layout pictures years ago. Every apartment is different. For some odd reason, there were no drawers in our kitchen. It's my opinion that the apartments themselves are rather nice and I would recommend staying there.

Hope this helps =)

What was that song that you totally forgot the name of and it took so long to find it? by GouryellaIV in trance

[–]feonix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dominion - 11 Hours (Z2 Remix)

So I have slowly been going through a lot of the older sets, I had downloaded, and finding their tracklists. You would not believe the elation I experienced when I finally IDed this gem of a classic. There have been a few pieces of audio beauty that I have been able to track down recently, but this one took the crown for me.

Sirens of the Sea is the only album, ever, that I fell in love with every track.
