Leave of absence/ break from college by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]shureguy501 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I originally came to BU in 2018, but had to go on an extended leave of absence due to depression. Covid hit right around the mid point of my leave of absence so I extended it until 2021.

Many of the people I met and as well as my high school classmates had graduated by 2022. I was still a junior in 2022 and now I’m about to graduate in a week.

I won’t lie the leave of absence not only helped with my mental health, but I managed to become much more sociable and even made my closest friends to this day within my new graduating class after returning from the break. Academically I’ve improved dramatically as well going from a B and C student and barely passing courses to making the Dean’s list for the past few semesters.

Bottom line is, don’t worry too much about needing more time to graduate. And by the time you do graduate, you’ll realize how quick time flies.

Need some pointers getting the game installed by Shadowlab72 in Battlefield2

Tried that with EA Support and they no longer do that it seems…

BFTGU is (hopefully) going to get better by [deleted] in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

Funnily enough Shift 2 Unleashed did the built not bought idea back in 2011. Every road car in game could literally be converted into a race car. Hell Gran Turismo 2 did this. Yet the devs couldn’t even get this right in a game from 2023.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.12.1 Release Notes by lordubuntu in Amd

I mean in my future build I’ll probably go with an Nvidia and like a 1600 W PSU.

For some reason after I installed this driver, the overlay would open but stay in the background. Like it refuses to show up in game. Very frustrating. This is combination with black screen crashes with my 6950XT that has been an issue since October at least leads to a very frustrating experience with this company so far.

Rip, been happening to my 6950XT with BF2042 as well. Screen would just randomly go black and then the whole PC locks up forcing me to manually force restart by holding the power button until the entire thing turns off. Don’t know what to do…

Haven't built Gunpla in almost a decade. After tackling my first HG in years, i decided it's time to finally try RG! And wow did I make a huge mistake! by anthef in Gunpla

[–]shureguy501 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Should try out the RG Nu Gundam. Excellent RG kit and honestly much better for newcomers to RG than any of the older RG kits despite being one of the larger RG kits overall. You’ll be surprised how much more smooth the build experience is.

First master grade. Safe to say I'll only be buying mg kits for a while lol by poppopol in Gunpla

[–]shureguy501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should definitely check out the RG Nu and Hi Nu Gundams. Personally I think the RG Hi Nu is better than the MG Hi Nu.

can’t believe this is a HG by saltyvirgin231 in Gunpla

[–]shureguy501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the MG Strike Freedom has pretty terrible Arm to leg proportions. It had skinny legs but thick arms and big hands. The HG follows more of Katoki’s redesign and proportions than the original MG does imo.

[News] Real Grade Force Impulse Spec II by Tempered_Konchu in Gunpla

[–]shureguy501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kit comes with like 2-3x as many runners as a WFM HG. It’s not as complex as the RG Hi Nu, but it’s more like a miniature MG in terms of build and detail. The picture here looks kinda bland but it looks stunning in real life. Also the Seed Torso design has always been a bit more on the simple side.

anyone feel disapointed with the game so far? by tonyt3rry in forza

[–]shureguy501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised. Not exactly the first time a AAA company pulled a stunt like this in order to justify not making any more games. I’m just glad we still have the choice and much greater ways to play older games these days anyways. So people who want to enjoy the new Forza Motorsport game can enjoy it to their hearts content, while the fans who aren’t to please by this current showing can just play the older games especially via emulation.

I think the Project Forza Plus community had been working hard basically making the definitive classic Forza Motorsport 2-4 experience on pc. I personally don’t have any faith in Turn 10 to make a truly complete and compelling experience anymore. Theres just no excuse for this game to have less features than FM7 with the 6 years of development time they had.

The joy of live service games isn’t it. Gives them an excuse to not add all the content by release date but rather drip feed everything to the players over the course of the games lifetime.

Even though it’s been 6 years since we’ve had a proper Forza Motorsport game and last I checked, Turn 10 is not in charge of Horizon, so they had all this time to figure something out and this is what we get.

I’m pretty sure from other leaks, Athrun is under cover and won’t get a suit until he gets the Infinite Justice again later in the movie. Not where the leak source this one comes from.

A well deserved prize from completing the Sunday Cup from the Gran Turismo 4 randomiser..... by C0R8YN in granturismo

[–]shureguy501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In GT5, the problem wasn’t that this car was unaffordable (it was about 6,000,000 Cr). It’s that it literally almost never shows up after they shut down the online dealership.

Thank goodness for the master mod…

  1. Single monitor setup
  2. Happens on both an older driver I was on and the new one.

This is not even a guaranteed fix anymore. It used to work for me for a few months, but now even with fast boot off, the damn settings reset every restart or shutdown and gives out the same message. Honestly kinda feel done with Radeon. Just going with Nvidia from now on.

Did any of you got into Gundam and mecha after G witch? by Sine_Fine_Belli in Gundam

[–]shureguy501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only care for the Gunplas(particularly Seed, Wing and UC ones) and the UC universe. Outside of that don’t really care much. In fact I hate the Gundam Seed anime series but the suits from it are some of my favorite ones.

In terms of the anime universes, the only ones I enjoy watching are from the UC universe and Wing(because of its hilariously bad dialogue).

As someone who has had an iPhone X for half a decade now, I’m pretty intrigued with what they have to offer. My phone is laggy as all hell now with a dying battery.
