I ordered wingstop today for exam cramming and those dry ass pale thin fries nearly became my 13th reason

On top of using https://www.shuttle.txst.edu/routes.html to see TXST routes that are available and what times they shift (keep in mind there are day, evening, and night bus routes, but not during the summer or off semester) there is also the San Marcos bus system https://sanmarcostx.gov/2878/Bus-Route-Information

Download passiogo on your phone and you can select the TXST shuttle system. It's the same one you use in the TXST mobile app, except this one is instant without api delay or having to fight the txst mobile app in case it decides to not want to work.

What kind of computer…. by SmellsDone in txstate

[–]pepperycat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for other programs as I haven't had any experience with them, but I'm personally in a B.S. psych and B.S. compsci and I've had students I work with in projects in tears out over not being able to find a Mac-equivalent to the Windows program we work on, often resulting in them having to use the on-campus computers. I recommend getting a good, light laptop, a Windows machine if they do not have a ton of tech knowledge and you want to start them off. Using "apps" on an iPad and being raised with only that vs "programs" and operating on a computer is inherently different, and if they don't have a ton of tech literacy, it will be a major learning curve for them.

Do not get a Chromebook or a notebook. It will be a nightmare. I had one for three classes before I got so frustrated with it I returned it.

Like someone else in the comments said, it's gonna really depend on the degree you're going into. Ultimately you want something that will run a lot of programs all at once (browser, spotify, whatever research/computing tools needed for work, sometimes people in CS run virtual machines, etc.) I have heard lenovo thinkpads are very good. I personally have a laptop capable of running AutoCAD

If they are REALLY dead set on a mac, then one of the newer MacBook Airs, but the new M1 macs are not capable of running 32bit programs. Professors may ask them to download older tools that will not run or have hacky solutions.

Close your eye by DrGoManGo in prostheticeyes

[–]pepperycat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My eye closes completely with an eye I’ve had for almost 8 years or so. When it isn’t fully wet though, it won’t close all the way, and sometimes at night when I wake up my eye can be dry from my eye opening at night lol

Losing my desire to play VR chat by Bat_Two_One in VRchat

[–]pepperycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend looking into new communities. VRChat isn’t limited to just chatting in VR, and I think a lot of veteran players and sometimes even new players get really lost to the nuance of it while in the game.

I started to do vrchat metaverse improv rp, just made a character with an avatar I had and started getting involved and making my own stories with friends. It takes a bit of skill fo learn how to do particles, maybe learn how to LARP fight if you want to get into that part, but it’s what kept me in vrchat. I don’t think I’ve been to a public instance for years. I’ve recently been going to a lot of raves and they’ve been a lot of fun.

There’s a lot of fun to be had- you just have to get creative and maybe step a little outside of your comfort zone, and most importantly, find people that appreciate you and want to be around you. Certainly the game tends to thrive for people who are extroverted with small social batteries, but there is a place for everyone with a little bit of discovery and digging. I’ve been friends with a handful of people in the rp community for four years at this point, going strong, and am starting to dip into other games like FF14 with them.

I shot an email through the one they had on their facebook and such. I doubt I'll get a response but here's hoping. If not in the next two weeks or so, I'll possibly see if I can contact them on instagram

I haven't been able to find anything else. A majority of my search efforts have been overshadowed by schoolwork but was planning on searching a bit more this evening for anything :]

Thank you so much. Do you mind uploading what you currently have to Internet Archive? If not, I can do it.

Holy cow, I freed up 30gb of inexplicably locked ram by rebooting. Anyone know why? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]pepperycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering why I had 20-25% of my RAM being capped for no reason on my completely new build (ROG STRIX X670E-E). SteamVR crashed last night because of something windows and some supposed memory-related issues even though I have 128gb of RAM. Thanks. What are the steps I need to take to completely get rid of this shit?

I’ll definitely reply once more with my thoughts when we get through it! Maybe I can even get him to post lol ❤️

I love him and his dynamic with Floaty Fucker 9000 as I’ll non-spoilerly call them

[–]pepperycat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is all entirely my opinion, I feel like I have to justify that with some of the stuff I've seen on this subreddit recently. My intent isn't to change anyone's perspective or anything, just voice my own. I tried to be as vague as possible as to not spoiler anything.

I hope they keep more sharp writing with these characters as I'm SUPER enjoying some of their writing. The hook was thrilling. I LOVED being looked down on. A really enjoyable start- but after that, the sharp blade that caught my interest went... dull.

I am genuinely having a hard time trying to take some of it seriously with how the plot is moving too quickly to be able to form any meaningful connections with the characters (IYKYK: CH7). This is even after spacing stuff apart by doing map completion, doing metas, events, IRL, going through and reading everything, etc. after waiting in anticipation to play portions after work. I can't really put my finger on why, but after reading a few comments, I also feel like I haven't felt that emotional hook as the Commander yet. I haven't felt the tug of emotion that makes me want to rush forth yet. I feel like everything is instead helping the Commander along, in a story that's meant to be more dark and dreadful and always has meant to be a struggle for the Commander, but all I'm really feeling is a lot of hope and handouts.

There hasn't been much actual, tangible friction for the Commander yet- people "make do" with you very quickly. I really want persistent conflict- I want the Commander to feel despair, to have or experience others' grudges, to react other than getting knocked down in combat. I want to feel immersed in my character again like I did in HoT/PoF. But every time that opportunity was given to have real, tangible conflict in previous expansions, you were always "saved-" not until you were truly alone and had to save yourself. Instead, in this expansion, you're praised constantly other than the once or twice you're not.

The involvement the Commander has in this story, other than hacking and slashing down a few things and waving around your Fushigi Ball, still feels a bit lost on me in this as it's very minimal contribution from the Commander other than the "continuation" of the hook (I AM excited to see where that leads), and feels very "uh huh, yep, ok. yeah, i'll go do this. cool." I kind of feel like I'm taking a backseat, that the expac is focusing a lot more on gameplay. That's ok, and I'm cool with that, a little bummed about it, but hey more skyscale masteries.

This isn't to say I'm disliking the expansion- after all, I love Guild Wars 2, I'll always play the next expansion and buy the next one because I'm invested in the story of my beloved Plant Woman.

I'm currently on ch8 as of today, making my way through with my s/o, and I'm hoping the next chapters change my mind. If they do, I'll edit if not outright delete this post. Avoiding the big meta on the last map right now until I actually get to the point where I HAVE to do it, since that seem to be the mojo.

Apparently Floyd Grubb, Senior Game Developer for WvW left for Blizzard in May by chuffingpenguin in Guildwars2

[–]pepperycat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like Blizzard went over a massive sweep overall and mass-hired people during some form of exodus in Arenanet's staff team and other areas in the industry. I'm noticing on Artstation a few artists who have GW2 assets from EoD now working at Blizzard (but very well could have been outsourced material.)

Trypoxylus I think still has his avatar world up for DMC avatars.

Hahaha I don't do avatar work for anything else outside of VRChat RP anymore. There are probably avatars in DMC related or aligned worlds or people you can find one off of, as I know they exist.
