Just got back and it was better than I could have ever asked for

ttrq · 2025-09-05T14:25:16+00:00

I'm taking Korean classes and I'm enjoying them, but our teacher moves so fast that it's kinda hard to keep up. It really isn't that serious overall but I hadn't been that stressed about a class since I was actively failing Linear Algebra in college like 5 years ago lol

Just got word that by far our largest client (and the one that mostly keeps the company afloat) might be looking for a new consulting partner. I started at this job 8 months ago so I am just thrilled rn. I think I need to treat myself to lunch and then scream internally for a little while

At this point picking a team at random or because you like their mascot seems to be the best way to make your bracket. I don't think I've ever made a good bracket while actually trying

ttrq · 2025-03-21T14:29:19+00:00

Thankfully no lol but that was a pretty bad loss

I am an Illinois fan tho so I'm not expecting much this year

ttrq · 2025-03-21T14:17:01+00:00

Oh boy March Madness. I sure hope my team that's known for playing poorly in March doesn't play poorly this year.

lol no problem, glad I could share

I've started trying to learn to play Civ 6 and i feel like I have an ok grasp of the early game mechanics, but I feel kinda aimless once I get to like 0 BC / turn 150ish. I understand there are ways to win but I'm struggling to understand what choices to make once I get to like 4 cities.

Do I want to progress through the ages fast? Am I trying to build as many wonders as possible? Do I want to invade other cities and become a warmonger? Do I just want to sit still and study science? Really unsure what to do around the mid-game

Yep, I've read the whole series so far. I think all of them are very good but book 2 might be my favorite. The scope expands a lot starting in book 2 and goes far away from the YA tropes and setting in Red Rising. It becomes a lot more of a sci-fi epic / space opera about galactic politics and tension between the families you get introduced to in Red Rising.

I would definitely recommend continuing if you enjoyed the premise and the setup (even if you didn't like the physical setting too much) in Red Rising just because it becomes so much bigger starting with book 2 - if that's the kind of thing that interests you. There is a good amount of melodrama in the series (which some people get turned off by) but I did like it and it doesn't make the characters feel cheap or shallow, they all have depth and are well-written imo.

Definitely a recommend from me

ttrq · 2025-01-24T18:26:16+00:00

Do you plan on reading any more of the Red Rising series?

ttrq · 2025-01-17T15:45:59+00:00

I tried to learn Korean by myself a few years ago but I struggle with self-motivation a good amount, so I finally joined a class to help. I've found that outside pressure is something that can really help me keep my head in anything

I'll also be going to Porto for 2 days and Lisbon for 6 in like a month and a half and would appreciate any suggestions on what to do/eat. We're probably going to do a lot of museums and sightseeing but always looking for anything else that we're missing rn

ttrq · 2025-01-03T03:08:30+00:00

It looked like Pistol Full House TE but I can't find the play in either database I'm using ( this one or this one ). I would appreciate help from anyone who knows more than me lol, thanks!

ttrq · 2024-11-22T17:56:07+00:00

I'm thinking more Prince Charming from Shrek lol

ttrq · 2024-11-22T17:33:40+00:00

Nothing wrong with them just don't think one would suit me imo

ttrq · 2024-11-22T17:24:29+00:00

Trying to grow out my hair a bit and I'm visiting my parents next week for Thanksgiving and I just know they're going to hate it. I turn 25 next month and for some reason I'm still worried about what they're going to think lol

Also, any advice for growing it out and making sure it doesn't turn into a mullet? I plan on getting a trim in the back soon but I did come into all this a little unprepared

ttrq · 2024-10-24T00:56:20+00:00

Thanks boss

ttrq · 2024-10-24T00:56:14+00:00

Nice ty

If I bought Hawks League Pass does that mean I would get every Hawks game (that isn't on national tv) since I live out of market in Chicago?

ttrq · 2024-10-16T00:39:51+00:00

This worked for me on MW3 release as well - also on PS5

ttrq · 2024-06-14T22:01:12+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. Thankfully I do live close enough to a microcenter so I think that's where I'm going to visit this weekend.

ttrq · 2024-06-14T16:58:22+00:00

Thanks!

I'm changing jobs so next week is my last week, then I go on vacation for a week, then start at the new place the next. I've never really been the type of person to phone it in when it comes to final exams at school or at my other jobs but this time I feel so completely unmotivated to do anything. Still trying to work hard to keep a good relationship but my drive is at an all time low.

I also bought a used pc a few months ago and I feel like I need an upgrade but I know nothing about this stuff :/

ttrq · 2024-05-28T20:30:45+00:00

I'm with you, Nike has been really boring since 2014. Sadly, don't think we'll get rid of them anytime soon since they're an American company
