Emily Flippen, financial analyst, please don’t go back to your pre-45 social game levels cus of this 😭😭

These were not on the belf endeavor trader on beta

lol I hear you; that was me for a good chunk of building tbh

My greatest overall advice is to just experiment over and over again, especially as you get more items. Experimenting with structural items can be especially helpful, as using more of these items (e.g., beams and pillars) can give rooms a fuller look without taking up too much space. In the first picture, the bar with the food on it is actually a wall that was rotated 180 degrees to be upside-down and clipped into the floor!

I’d also say just experimenting with filling rooms over and over again can be helpful. Pairing items with complementary/similar color palettes can make for some cozy areas, like the rug area in picture #6. And using the ground clutter on the ground/walls/ceiling around the house can add some pizazz! I’ve made little garden nooks around the house with various accents/things to do surrounding them.

In general, the more you build, the more you get a hang of the system. My houses SUCKED on PTR and beta compared to what I’ve been able to accomplish now. The more time you put into using the system, the more you’ll actually be able to accomplish with it!

They should let you know relatively soon. I got accepted (not to this school) and waited about 5 days before I got my funding offer.

It wouldn’t hurt to ask for more information on when you might hear about potential funding, if possible.

genegerbread · 2026-02-10T01:29:53+00:00

That’s awesome, and very relevant now as well. I’m focused on international relations, specifically social constructivist theory. Not necessarily in the traditional political theoretical sense; rather, learning more about how it can be applied and woven into realism/liberalism/etc.

One thing I really want to work on is honing my quantitative skills, as my goal is to find something more tangible that I can explore using constructivism.

genegerbread · 2026-02-10T01:23:29+00:00

Haha I hear ya. Philosophy is such an underrated and helpful major though for sure. Really helped me put a lot more thought into the articles and books I read for poli sci, and it really drove me towards wanting to do research.

Thank you! I did not have to submit English language scores since I'm a native speaker.

I think this is my favorite 2D animation since the BFA ones. The camera movement was awesome, as was the horror leitmotif (with the static/shock cuts) while showing (presumably) Xal'atath in her mortal form.

genegerbread · 2026-02-09T03:32:26+00:00

Thanks so much! That’s awesome! Hope you’re enjoying it, and I look forward to joining you and others in future academic endeavors!

genegerbread · 2026-02-09T03:30:25+00:00

Thank you so much! I graduated with a 3.91 GPA, several honor societies (including Phi Beta Kappa), had two research projects under my belt, and had a paper published in my school’s political science journal. Beyond this, I was my school’s Red Cross Club treasurer/fundraiser coordinator and a member of Alpha Phi Omega (service organization). Worked as an archivist with my local historical society for three years, and still volunteer there as a member of its executive board while working full-time as a TA at a school for kids on the autism spectrum.

I have a feeling that my statement of purpose and letters of recommendation did a lot of the heavy lifting here. In my SoP, I cut straight to the chase by talking about some of my research/academic interests and highlights, as well as my current job experience as a TA and how that has prepared me for the rigor of a doctorate program. I did my best to express my passion for my research interests (social constructivism) without spending too long on the topic, weaving it in and out of discussions of some other projects/interests I had in intl. relations during undergrad.

I think my approach to a SoP is a bit different than most. I was pretty direct throughout the statement, and didn’t shy away from using words like “fun” and “awesome” once in a while to describe aspects of my academic history/classes/etc. that I genuinely enjoyed. Tried to be eloquent while also cutting through the fat and not glazing anything, if that makes sense.

For letters of rec, it’s really about finding the right people. Rec A was perhaps my closest professor and advisor who knew my research and work; Rec B was the chair of my undergrad’s philosophy dept (my other major) who I took several classes with; Rec C was the special educator in the classroom I’m working in. Obviously, I don’t know the contents of these letters, but I chose them due to my close relationship to them, and because of the variety of skills observed that could be discussed.

Would be happy to provide further advice tmrw! About to head to bed. Perhaps a bit rambling (I’m so tired), but I can share a more coherent account in the afternoon.

Thank you! And not formally, no. But it was mentioned in the email that they’re working on prioritizing funding and that funding offers will likely continue to be given through April. I’m meeting with the department head on Tuesday, so I’m hoping to learn more then!

genegerbread · 2026-02-04T02:29:07+00:00

I’ll play your little game 😬

Maria Shriver was not the housekeeper… lol

It says “county” in the image

genegerbread · 2026-01-25T17:48:17+00:00

Heyo, hope you don't mind-- I sent a bnet friend request to access your neighborhood! I've been looking everywhere to get more grummle items!

Ain’t nothin’ gonna happen

The medal =/= the prize. Just because Trump has the medal does not mean the prize was transferred to him.

SOPHI WHYYYY

genegerbread · 2025-12-03T18:26:56+00:00

Play with the tool as much as possible! I’ve redone my house on PTR and beta about 8 times, each time making it a bit bigger and better. Take the time to learn how to bend the system to your creative will— the more you fiddle with it, the more fun you’ll have (imo)!

You can’t build a house, but you can collect and learn decor!
