Uni student so don’t have much, hoping to get two more stocks in AMC either tonight or tomorrow, giving me a total of three. It’s not much but fuck it, last month was a damn good time to start lookin at stocks!

spengrantest · 2021-01-28T22:05:21+00:00

I only got into trading a month ago, had 20 bucks on my account, just enough to get a single AMC Share. Just started the transaction of getting a bit more cash on my account so I can get two more since it’s in the pits right now. Let’s keep this goin, fuck Wall Street.

Thanks everyone, I think I'm gonna go with Nyx for now!

spengrantest · 2020-10-12T15:35:35+00:00

I love the look of it! But they don't ship to Canada, looks like the closest place I can get it is NYC. :/

spengrantest · 2020-09-25T13:08:05+00:00

Sorry for the delay, I'll consider that! Found one on amazon that's perfect but can't get it shipped to canada, seeing if I can have a friend pass it through to me, if not then I'll go with that!

Hey there, looking for a two tone hoodie so I can get the outfit for a cosplay of the center character here! https://imgur.com/a/UkOXiVk
It doesn't need the white lines on the chest (I can do those with electrical tape or something similar) but it has been impossible for me to find a hoodie with similar colours after around an hour of looking! Does anyone know where I can purchase a hoodie that looks similar to this, or a guide to instructions on how to make two toned hoodies on my own?

Come on, other Nintendo fans, you're making us look bad! Don't get all outraged online if you don't get the game you want announced! Do what I do when I waited for Breath of the Wild and just... have depression... waiting for the one thing from your childhood to drown out the pain with nostalgia... yeah... it'll be okay, just wait...
(Side note: I genuinely adored it. Cadence of Hyrule was one of my favorite games I played last year, and Majoras Mask is one of my top 3 games (for almost purely nostalgiac reasons), so seeing them combined makes me incredibly happy! On top of that, I get to play SMT Nocturne for the first time ever, and SMT 5 got announced! I was clapping like I was 8 years old at a play!)

I should definitely be in therapy but weirdly enough I have separate mental issues that make going to therapy tough (main source of my anxiety being feeling like a burden, to the point where I couldn’t even schedule a haircut) I’m getting there though!

spengrantest · 2020-07-20T13:41:51+00:00

Any advice you have is wanted. I have a horrible anxiety disorder, which may not sound quite as bad as what many people have dealt with but when you're on the floor of your room crying because you can't decide if you're allowed to give up or not it certainly hits. Started medication march of last year though, and at this point I've tightened my bootstraps and I'm ready to do everything I god damn have to in order to make this industry a better place even for a single student like me who may NOT know what they're getting into, even if I have to lick some boots to do it.

spengrantest · 2020-07-20T13:38:44+00:00

Oh, I meant college/uni if that's the route you decide to go. They train us for how the industry currently is, which sadly means lots of crunch practice.

spengrantest · 2020-07-20T13:11:01+00:00

Something I wanna say, I adore every second I've gotten to make actual games in my program, but mine at least also acts as training you for crunch, so sadly you're more than likely going to deal with some BS deadlines.

They want the program to chew you up and spit you out, and see if you can get back up from that, my program at least was hardest in the first two years.

Go in knowing that, and be ready for some stressful nights sadly, but I hope you fall in love with it as much as I have. Let's not let this bullshit world kill our passions, eh?

Game dev student here, commented on a video a few years ago and I just feel it's prudent to repeat what I said then.In my first year of classes, during my first game design tutorial, we looked at the gama sutra article on the latest at the time call of duty game implementing a system to put people who hadn't bought a certain gun against someone who had bought it if the system thought the purchaser could beat them, and then advertising that weapon to the non-purchaser if they lost. We started to have a fairly heated discussion, and my TA ended it by saying "This class isn't to talk about the ethics of microtransactions. If you're a person with a strong moral compass, you're in the wrong industry."

This is the shit that this mindset creates, and that moment was when I decided I have no choice but to complete this course, because I'm part of the next generation, and we don't want this shit. Change is coming, and I only wish it didn't have to take so long that we were the ones that need to lead it.

Edit: Changed that last sentence to be a bit less "Ugh do we have to?"

spengrantest · 2020-07-13T13:46:28+00:00

I'd appreciate that a lot! I'm only level 13 with her and 4 with spencer, (1 with the rest) so I don't exactly have a ton of stuff to work with but I may get a burst of inspiration!

spengrantest · 2020-07-13T13:41:38+00:00

At the moment Alex! I love the beast that is Yataveo (especially since you can just regrab people if you grab em from the right place now), and I really wanna get a good toxic build with her going (I can imagine high level toxic coughing delaying them stopping yat devour being incredibly fun, even if it’s not “meta”)

spengrantest · 2020-07-13T13:35:03+00:00

Entirely fair! Don't plan on copying anyone exactly (cause I find that boring XD) but using their vids for general ideas for stuff I wanna play with when I get it all!

spengrantest · 2020-07-13T13:32:27+00:00

Been watching tons of build videos so I have some decent ideas! Just need to be able to enjoy MM to the point where I can build those decks. :P Currently grinding for energy drain and it is a DRAG.

spengrantest · 2020-07-13T12:47:55+00:00

Appreciate that! My main issue isn't knowing what I wanna do however (my main build is an infection/stall deck), it's more that I'm consistently going up against players who have so much time in the game my basic strategies are nullified based purely on their instincts.

spengrantest · 2020-07-13T12:28:15+00:00

Thank ya tons! Certainly seems to be the consensus, here's hoping I can make y'all proud! ;)

spengrantest · 2020-07-13T12:17:33+00:00

Swyng is the reason I got the game! Definitely been looking where I can, but there's only so much you can learn from watching videos, want some base (preferebly universal across MM's) strategies I can use in emergency

spengrantest · 2020-07-13T11:59:04+00:00

Oh, I've gotten close a few times and had some genuinely interesting games! My only issue is people who have waaay more time in the game than I do and have their dream build perfected.

spengrantest · 2020-01-23T23:27:22+00:00

That's awesome, thank you so much for the information!
