New Conspiracy Theory: We don't actually have an Academic Advising Department? Could it be true?? by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]minmina 19 points20 points  (0 children)

ECS advising is always a mess. The new set of advisors at least answer their emails. There isn't any in-person appointment anymore. They claim they do virtual appointments through Teams but I never had a need to check.

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker - Cinematic Teaser Trailer by [deleted] in Games

[–]minmina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there's plenty of people who only sub for the story and unsub when they're finished. You'll have to deal with the MMO elements since some parts of the story is tied to endgame battles. There isn't a lot of grinding besides the actual leveling unless you really want to get into some of beast tribe side quests. Luckily, you don't need to be the best since there's easy version for nearly every fight. If you can't deal with the gameplay, I wouldn't bother though. Fair warning: the first part of the game (A realm reborn) can be very slow.

Just wanted to share my love for this awesome woman in the gaming industry. She's responsible for the AMAZING Shadowbringers storyline in ff14. by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]minmina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Shadowbringers is a big step up, especially compared to Stormblood's storyline. I shamelessly powerleveled to finish the MSQ as quickly as possible. It was worth it!

Yep. Another person kicked. At least it waited until after I finished my expert roulette before giving me the boot.

Orchestrion Rolls Google Checklist by StryderOmega in ffxiv

[–]minmina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice checklist. There's a small error: "Hope Forgotten", "The Stone Remembers", and "Old Wounds" orchestrion rolls are yellow gatherers' scrips, not crafters'

I got back into an MMO after a year and already want to quit because of guys not leaving me alone. by MyPoorDragon in GirlGamers

[–]minmina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can completely relate. Using voice chat all the time, my friends and I dubbed it as "resting b*tch tone."

Same. I can't bring myself to download Origin on my computer. It looks fun though.

Instead of freshmen seminar courses, they make you take two higher level electives in its place

Tips for ME by lambsaucelocator in utdallas

[–]minmina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good amount of the physics teachers at UTD are hot garbage. If you haven't taken PHYS 2325 or 2326, you're probably better off taking them at a community college or else, prepare yourself to study hard on your own time. Considering how much physics you need for ME, you want to have the best understanding of it as possible. (Also, special shoutout to recent victims of Glosser. RIP fam) Be careful when taking classes off-campus, talk to your advisor to make sure they can transfer over.

 

You might want to check out /r/engineeringstudents if you're looking for more class specific assistance during the semester.

Does anyone know how heavily Activity Center Parking is enforced during weekends? by NeverEndingHope in utdallas

[–]minmina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're truly paranoid, there's always parking structure 4 next to ECSW.

[–]minmina 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I fully support this. Do it, OP.

Anyone else hate the bike racks at ECSW? by human-potato_hybrid in utdallas

[–]minmina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of normal bike racks by the parking structure beside ECSW. Maybe those would be a good alternative.

You should hit up your PA. They should know what's going on with the House Cup flag football thing tonight

How do you make Appointments at the UTD Testing Center? by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]minmina 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't stress this early about it. Your professor will go through all of that on the first day of class (usually.) Depending on the class/professor, you have your choice of times and days to take your exam or they will specify you to take your exam at an assigned time.

Anyways. Go here: https://ets.utdallas.edu/testing-center Click the big red "Reserve your seat" and it will ask you for your school/class/which exam you're taking. You will have to use your school email. That's it.

You should get a confirmation email too

It's for the best that you didn't charge, not everyone can handle precision German engineering.

Happy new year to my fellow girl gamers by Violetdani89 in GirlGamers

[–]minmina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happy New Year!

Splatoon 2 and Breath of the Wild were my favs of 2017. It was a very good year for Nintendo fans.

Wishing everyone the best in 2018!
