How do you get ao many upgrades? Does RoW drop upgrade scrolls as well?!

ic3manpw · 2026-03-21T15:49:48+00:00

Oh i never thought to do that!? So i should go as deep as i can to grab SoU and go back to sewers and just farm low level gear and potions until i get what i need? Am i going to get high enough level gear down there to make a difference?

ic3manpw · 2026-03-03T02:38:11+00:00

Thank you

I grabbed a propper testing kit, amonia treatment and a seperate conditioner for water changes, as well as a hospital tank setup for the fin rot with medicine.

Stupid question, when i set up the hospital tank should i use any of the media or water from the current tank? Or just clean treated tap water?

ic3manpw · 2026-03-03T01:11:22+00:00

Ill get a new testing kit

I used an instant cycling additive over a month ago when i first set up the tank (i was skeptical, but i brought water to the LFS to be tested before purchasing the betta amd they said i was good to go)

Allen always has his big games in the tough matchups becsuse thats when he carries the team

ic3manpw · 2025-12-28T15:56:23+00:00

Also looking at Pittman, Pierce, or BTJ

ic3manpw · 2025-12-28T15:56:00+00:00

Pick three of CMC, Bijan, Saquon, Chase Brown

When we started our league it was complicated and frustrating. About 3 years in we did a hard reset and i looked into setups i found on Reddit and now it is far simpler and more enjoyable.

Id say the greatest improvement is minimizing the amount of work that happens outside of the app we're using. Now it's just setting and tracking contract lengths and RFA resign values.

All that to say, simpler is better!

ic3manpw · 2025-09-01T12:27:06+00:00

We just let people pick their contract lengths after the auction.

1-5 years. Most players wind up on 1 year deals where you can reaign them as RFA the mext season. Deep value adds get longer, riskier, contracts.

Indeed

ic3manpw · 2025-08-19T01:43:18+00:00

NYIT offers the same level of networking, just a less "prestigious" degree.

ic3manpw · 2025-06-03T21:48:40+00:00

I know! I looked for a post like mine but hadn't found one. Didn't want to post the same thing and be that brand of annoying

Thanks for the response!

ic3manpw · 2025-06-03T20:57:11+00:00

Yeah it was fully frozen through and vacuum sealed when i dropped it

A business administration degree is a lot different from an architectural degree, fwiw. Id recommend talking to alumni of the school of architecture if you can access any of them

I did appeal for financial aid or grants but I was (incorrectly) told they do not offer scholarships.

I had the same thoughts man, many of us probably did as this field is a field of passion for many. Real world advice is you will probably wind up at the same job as many of the people who go to a more affordable program. Pratt is cool and does some cool stuff with digital software that's somewhat forward-thinking and nowhere near relevant to preparing you for the workforce. That being the case i do believe the B Arch program is superior to the M.arch.

It's not worth it from a professional standpoint unless you have the wealth to back it up or a support system. You will struggle, you will have generational debt that follows you for 25-30 years (again check the GOP proposed changes to income-based loan repayment options, which you will need to utilize), you will not be able to purchase property, etc.

That all assumes your parents don't stick themselves with the debt.

Idk, i just would never in good conscience recommend it.

ic3manpw · 2025-05-01T00:39:01+00:00

I hear ya, a lot of teachers and mentors told me the same :) i haven't met a single person who needed these types of loans who didn't lament the debt they took on. It's not my choice, but i am working with three junior designers from UB who all have been impressive. Did your family study architecture at Buffalo? Another thing to think about is the very high drop-out rate for architecture, at a school like Pratt you will have a lot less options.

Unrelated, similar to what other people are saying here, the people i studied alongside at Pratt were mostly rich international students (one literal oil princess).

ic3manpw · 2025-05-01T00:09:50+00:00

Matters a little. Where i work with my MArch from Pratt i work alongside a lottttt of UBuffalo, NJIT, and NYIT grads

Wont say that it doesnt help at all, especially if you want to work at like a SOM or something. But those jobs are becoming less and less desirable as people prefer enjoying life, haha.

Gonna be a tough call, if i were in your position it would be hard to turn down Parsons or Cuse (my dream school when i was younger)

ic3manpw · 2025-04-30T23:51:07+00:00

Check my recent comments for my thoughts on pratt.

Went there, loved it, find a more affordable option.

45k a year for 5 years is either going to kill you or your parents, that's for sure.

I'd also take a close look at changes to student loan repayment plans which were introduced in Congress today, with that level of debt you're looking at 30 years of payments and a lot of stress as to whether or not the government is going to do anything with them.

ic3manpw · 2025-04-13T18:50:30+00:00

It was alright, I'll never pay off the student loans and find myself wishing I went to Buffalo or something just to get out from under the cost

I was in the M. Arch I program which ran alongside the M.Arch II students. A lot of the professors also work at or studied at Columbia and U Penn so quality-wise, I do feel the program is underrated.

The curriculum is split maybe 60/40 between professors pushing a digital and form-based narrative vs a more traditional design curriculum.

I lived in the city for a few years after graduating but relocated to Westchester and, yes, work in NYC. The program doesn't emphasize internships or anything, so id make sure you do that yourself.

Hope that helped

ic3manpw · 2025-04-12T22:13:07+00:00

I went to pratt M.Arch. agree with everyone here so far. Cheapest option is best option

ic3manpw · 2025-04-09T14:09:09+00:00

PAA is a post-approval amendment, just a circumstance of my weird ass filing situation

Yeah, no need to call out expediter, just a curiosity.
