One of the growingly more annoying aspects about this research methods class is that, as a part of teaching us Good Research Methods™, we're supposed to use this research assistant for keeping track of and tagging our potential pieces of research. Which is something completely foreign to me since I'm used to having my stuff in ...well, a heap, but a heap I know inside and out. Having to keep things organized is more of a hinderance to my ability to work than an assistance. But not doing so will literally cost me marks so, eugh. All I can really do is bitch about it.
Oh I think I've seen that, or at least something near identical to it, before. Animals that don't want to eat what you're shoving in their face are pretty funny. Frogs and the like are particularly expressive for probably not having the brain power to be expressive.

I was listening to an "advice" podcast and the casters got a question about someone who was feeling constantly pressured by their boss and co-workers to pick up smoking when they went off on smoke breaks. One of the casters had been a smoker from their mid-teens to mid-twenties after which they quit, but as he said, more than fifteen years later in his early forties, even just talking about smoking, even in a way meant to bash how terrible it is, it made him feel like he wanted a cigarette again. It's a kind of terrifying existence to consider.

I was talking about my frustrations with my research assignment with my parents and it's really difficult to get them to understand where I'm coming from. I don't know if that's on my end or theirs. My dad in particular is a pretty pragmatic guy, very much a "see a problem, go after the most immediate solution to it", which means if it's already a solution I've dodged around for one reason or another ... he doesn't get it. So it just ends up with him exasperated. And my mother doesn't get that me getting a bit energetic about expression my frustrations isn't necessarily a bad thing, and her response to getting annoyed with anything is "maybe it's time to step away from it for an hour or so". Communication is hard.

whatever the game would be, it would be perfect science lab to research human behaviour on all levels, when you think about it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
But since if you want to have moeny in the game without well risking working for other ppl whatever to earn it and if they even pay it comes the other problem, since MONEY in the game is your real money, how do you protect it and also what draws or interests people to SPEND money on the game in the first place and then continue spending it I mean sure eve is already an infinite money sink and it has loyal players, but it isn't like WoW which is a money sink, but you can never - atleast untill actizzard pulls the plug on it - lose your chars and gear

>>581121 wasn't that the point of guardians of the galaxy also? that the planet wanted to destroy all the people? it was an allegory about how the world literally destroys people... (joking)
these might calculations make little sense to me Is it just because one bow has a "Level 2" skill and the one I'm using (which has around 140 points of more stats) only has a "Level 1" skill? Like... this would make sense to me and be completely okay if it weren't for the fact that both the level 2 skill and the level 1 skill are functionally THE SAME.
Kirara, M.A.
haha, are you reverse engineering the game now?
Koi
No, I'm not doing anything too serious. It's just that yesterday I finally finished getting to the end of the 3* Bow Crafts or was it the day before? anyway To enhance a weapon it has to be fully unbound and fully leveled So to get to the final bow, you have to make 25 of the first bow (Composite), which will unbound and combine into 5 of the second bow (Hunter). Then you unbind one of those using the other 4 so that you can get it to max level. Essentially 25 of the first craft makes 1 of the last craft. But of course, that last craft is also bound, and would need four more of itself to be unbound fully like the rest. (So a maxed out Cimmerian Bow requires 125 Composite Bows) THE PROBLEM that I had was that after finishing the Hunter Bow and getting it to Max, I enhanced it to Cimmerian. When you enhance the stats go down but you level it back up and it ends up being better than the first one.
Except it DIDN'T end up being better. The stats on the Cimmerian at level 20 (bound) is worse than the Hunter Bow stats at 40 (fully unbound) ...so I got back to work on making even more Hunter Bows and now I've got a fully unbound one but not fully leveled. At level 26, the Hunter Bow is about 130 points less than the Cimmerian Bow. But SOMEHOW, the Might Calculation says that the Hunter Bow is 5 points stronger.
Koi
Thing about the bows is that the Hunter Bow has a skill called Hunter's Strength. It increases your attack by 20% for 5 seconds. When you fully unbind it, that skill becomes Hunter's Strength Level 2: which upgrades it to 25% attack increase. The Cimmerian Bow has Cimmerian Strength which is the exact same thing as Lv2 Hunter's Strength. Except it's just Level 1 Cimmerian Strength. I'm ASSUMING that when fully unbound, it increases to 30% or maybe the duration increases or something and it levels up. But as of right now, the skills are the exactly the same and yet one of these is worth more Might than the other.
Koi
The joke here is that when I DO get it to level 40, the stats on it are probably going to be a little higher than the Cimmerian's and I'm going to end up sitting on the Hunter's Bow until I craft THREE MORE so I can FULLY UNBOUND the first one and actually make it considerably stronger.
Kirara, M.A.
haha im not anywhere cose to as far as you are
Koi
Long story short: If and when you do get to crafting/enhancing weapons, don't go to the final mode until you have crafted multiples of the second stage. Because you'll gimp yourself for no reason.

As someone who's actually left-handed, I can say pretty confidently it's not really something anyone should really willingly want. There's a lot of little things in life that are designed to favour the right-dominant hand that stack up as minor frustrations.

me
Kirara 🚗
i don't know what that means

i can try to give an example like, when i moved, my sister said she'd take care of my kitty for me i moved with such high anxiety and with literally nothing, two suitcases of my laptop and a couple sets of clothes like within two weeks she told me she couldn't keep my cat i said i'd come and get it if i had to, though i can't take it on a train and it'd take like my whole month's expenses then my cousin said she loved the cat and that i didn't have to, so she'd take it now my cousin says she can't keep it and wants to rehome it or have me come get it i tell her that i don't have the finances or the means to do so soon so if she can find a good home for it that's fine (though it really isn't i still feel terrible, but i dont want to be a burden for her taking care of my cat for a longer time than she's comfortable with even though she said she'd keep it for real permanently then didn't)
and then she's texting me all day today like "why did you say you could come get her if you can't?" i said i could, and still can, but given the fuss she's making and urgency of the situation i'm just telling her she can go ahead sooner if it's a relief to her and she's just like "oh okay i was just wondering why you didn't convey that in the first place" it's all extremely hostile and i dont know why she's asking me why i'm not asking my sister to drive a 10-hour drive to bring my cat to me if i can't do it myself she's making me feel like shit and i don't feel appropriate burdening her or my sister any more than i already have by 'allowing' them to adopt my cat temporarily and change their mind?? i'm so angry and irritated but so self-loathing at the same time because this sort of thing is all i ever get in my life i can't even ask my friends for help because it's burdensome on the surface level to deal with my mopiness and have to deal with it so they ignore me over time and call me obnoxious when i do have a good mood until it settles into a pattern of non-involvement

the best way to handle jealousy is to tell the jealous partner that what they're doing isn't a normal human response and make them feel humiliated and ashamed for it

I still remember some listing about "working on master's degree (so do it for us while working for us), with 5 years of experience" in a field you can't get hired into before atleast having a bachelor's but still working on master's that takes 2-3 years on average so HOW the hell do you have that 5 years of in-field experience...
FormerRei@mobile
I'll occassionally see "requires masters degree" "pays minimum wage"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
that doesn't exist here it is "pays union average" which is actually quite good pay
but the "working on master's" is a bit assholeish condition basically they want you to be a near fulltime employee, while doing a master's thesis for them on some field basically, in exchange for the job, you will do an extensive research job for them FOR FREE

>>581356 I'm a terribly jealous person. I don't consider many things mine but when I do consider something mine I'm terribly jealous over it. This includes objects, spaces, and people.
Kirara, M.A.
>>581372 Would you get jealous over shoulders touching? It might be bad manners to ask, but I'm curious, what kind of stuff have you gotten jealous enough over that it tanked relationships?
Yuu
>>581373 I would feel jealous over the moment shared but not explicitly the shoulders touching. but that's unreasonable jealousy You have to suppress those kinds of jealousy.
Kirara, M.A.
>>581374 Oh, the moment shared, huh. That actually makes a lot of sense. I didn't think about that. When I think about it like that, the jealousy sounds less ridiculous.
Kirara, M.A.
I actually get jealous pretty easily, too. Not intensely jealous, but I get jealous about unreasonable things sometimes. I'm kind of an unreasonable person about some things, like, I'm pretty sure Fishdad tried to set Fish up with someone in Nigeria. I want to beat that guy down. I get jealous when my friends get close to people I'm not friends with, too. That's really unreasonable so I don't do anything about it, obviously. I guess intense jealous is harder to deal with than jealous over unreasonable things.
Yuu
>>581375 It's still unreasonable jealousy though. You can't force a person to just not interact with the opposite sex. Well I guess you can if you lock them up but you can't really do that.
Kirara, M.A.
>>581377 Fish could probably pay to have some big, burly people lock me up and she could afford to make sure neither of us ever have to leave the house. If I ever disappear, that's probably what happened. Just kidding. This is probably just a phase. It's probably her trying to figure out what to do with whatever feelings my marriage proposal caused. She wasn't like this until recently.

Even more stupid is that she's not even trying to do things with her left hand. She's still acting like she's right handed.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
is actually fun that most left handed I know are more amidextrous than really left handed I guess how society is well due to right handed being the vast majority set up, it ends up with many becoming ambi
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
like take my brother who was forced to learn to write with his right hand due to ancient minded teacher but is in terms of sports and doing things left handed
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I wonder does being left handed make you handicapped in terms of e-sports? in some sports, like tennis, being left handed is actually an advantage to some level
Kirara, M.A.
that's a good question
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
maybe depends on the game but say in fps games where mouse movements are the key, unless you are playing mouse left handed and have reverse keyboard or the layout set to numlock you essentially, if using mouse with your right hand - the slightly weaker hand - you are losing some milliseconds of reaction time and those are what make the difference on the really high level
Anno
>>581394 you just use an ambidextrous mouse and numlock I've seen a couple overwatch streamers do so and they seem to be at no real disadvantage
especially, if you can use the macros while it is in normal numpad mode in some games using the mouse hand to do quick macro like that might be good too

Oh Amazon is raising their American minimum wage to fifteen dollars. I guess the bad publicity finally got to them, hah hah. That's a pretty nice rate though.
Kirara, M.A.
it's actually because amazon workers have been striking for three months it's not enough though the strikes will probably not end amazon workers still have to work without bathroom breaks and shit, and amazon is still anti-union jeff bezos won't get away that easily
Anno
I just worry the wage adjustment won't come out of Amazon's pocket and instead have workers lose hours or jobs altogether. When the provincial government here bumped the wage up from ~11 CAD to 14 a lot of public-traded employers started cutting hours and placements to adjust.
Kirara, M.A.
amazon can't afford to lower hours if they could, they could have held out against the strikes longer the workers need a union to help coordinate strikes and help them understand their power though
...Are the rates really as low as they say for this game?
Kirara, M.A.
>>581549 that must be nice capitalism in general is shit but it can at least function if workers have power to check their employers here in anti-union land, nothing is even remotely functioning for anyone but the rich

University money grant finally came through. Nice to no longer be hella poor.
For this semester, about 2.6k CAD in grant and about 1k in loan. The grant alone covers tuition and travel plus change, so the loan is free savings account or investment interest. I'll be able to apply next semester for a little less but still enough to cover tuition again.
Kirara, M.A.
Oh, neat. That's a good chunk of change. What's tuition like per semester over there, anyway?
Anno
My first year is shaping up to be around 5.5 for the first year, would probably be around 6k if it was a full year of ten courses. But I'd also chance my university to be a bit cheaper compared to some alternatives.
Kirara, M.A.
Oh, that's nice. My undergrad tuition was like $40k a year (at a private university) but I managed to get enough scholarships and grants to pay for it except for $1000 for my last semester of undergrad. When I was working on my AA degree at a community college, my tuition was around $5000 per semester, I think? I might be misremembering since that was like 7 or 8 years ago.
finally... another 1500 It's like pulling out teeth to farm these now.
Kirara, M.A.
What are you farming? Crystals? Weapons?
Koi
Wyrmite for 10 summons ...this roll was trash though three units I already have. no wait, four. So I got like 3k Eldwater and then a bunch of 3* stuff
Kirara, M.A.
oh, what's the stuff you get when /// yeah eldwater what's eldwater even for?
Koi
Eldwater is like feathers in FEH You use them to rank up your units. There's also another very depressing use for them. At the very top of everyone's Mana Circle are four nodes that require like 6k Eldwater each Those nodes increase the value of your Co-Abilities.
Kirara, M.A.
Sou. It's depressing because it uses so much, I guess?
Koi
Exactly. Honestly ranking up doesn't do much for your stats anyway, it's like 1 or 2% increase so it's not like sitting on 3 or 4* is that bad. But you DO need to rank up to access the later scales of your mana circle. You can't get past 30 until you're 4*, can't get past 40 until you're 5*
Kirara, M.A.
Oh, what a shame. So a 3* is always going to be super outclassed by something that starts as 5*?
Koi
At first I didn't think so but it's looking like it. The stat difference wasnt even the main issue but the co-abilities are. Different units start with similar but different co-abilities. I think it's shared by weapon class? Hawk and Nefaria both have Skill Haste +8% but Malora who is a 3* archer has Skill Haste +2% The coability increases at the end are generally just 1% additions so even if you get Malora to 5*, her skill haste coability won't ever be better than the 5* archers at the start.
Koi
THAT SAID It is increasingly more costly to unbind a 5* mana circle than lower class units You don't need Eldwater for them but you'll need an entire list of shit.
Kirara, M.A.
I'm guessing co-abilities should be considered really important when making a team, yeah?
Koi
you can live without caring about them but some of them are so good that it's really hard to turn them down. Skill Haste +8% is really nice to have on a team because you get to use your abilities faster and more frequently and it stacks with your equips too so you can do some really nice things based on it. Since the super huge raids are going to have like 16 or so people in them, you MIGHT actually not need to care too much. Someone will be bound to have a heavy co-ability and if there's is stronger than yours than yours has no effect. But since there's more people in the raid co-ops than there are co-abilities, you can have your not as good character as long as you're good with them in general.

The outclassing is real though. Like, Hildegarde is such a better healer than Estelle and I love Estelle so much. And with Recovery Potency +10%, I think she's going to end up being "that one healer". That + all the skill bar prep she has
Kirara, M.A.
>>581577 Wow, I didn't even know there were raids. I haven't even unlocked crafting yet, haha. I'm on 2-6-1. I guess I'm just one or two quests from unlocking crafting, though.
Koi
>>581582 They actually just announced it in game.There's a thing on the top left of the home screen called Loyalty Requiem. That's the 16 adventurer event. I don't know if it's 16 people or 8 people and everyone brings a buddy.
But from the way it's looking I should probably start leveling some water characters.
Kirara, M.A.
It sucks if you can't make 3* units as viable as 5* units like you can in FEH. I really like some 3*s like Aoi and Cibella. I really like Elly, too. She's so cute. She's a 4*, though. I'll probably get her to 5*. I don't know if her co-ability (hp+) is that useful, though.
Koi
I mean... you probably COULD but it's really dependent on what skills they have. It would have to not step on the toes of a unit above them. The problem with healers is that your healing skills are essentially - Single Heal, - Group Heal, -HP Regen, -Shield, Combination of these and it is very easy to see which ones are the most useful Estelle fails because the skill she heals with is a single heal and her group heal takes longer. Meanwhile Cleo and Hildegarde have easy access to group heals and skill prep so that they can queue it up really quickly the first time
For the combat units, it's a little different.
Koi
Like take Althemia. Her coability on the wand is the lowest, I think. But her abilities have her in a very distinct (and honestly very fucking difficult) way to play. She's a pretty nice glass cannon that I enjoy using whenever someone else is on Nefaria or Hawk.
Koi
>What is very fucking difficult? She has Skill Damage + 30% as long as she's at full hp.
Imagine fighting a dragon and dodging absolutely every motherfuckin thang
Kirara, M.A.
This game is a lot more complicated than it looks.
Koi
Then you give her one of these and just play perfectly.
Koi
>>581588 That's why they lock down so much of the game from the start. You gotta get eased into it or else you won't know left from right.
I'm actually really upset about my roll just now because I wanted one more Happier Times. It's one of the bonus 4* rolls. If I get one more it'll be fully unbound and both of those skills improve.
Kirara, M.A.
Haha, you're really good at taking it all in. I don't have the attention span to read all the tutorials sometimes.

>>581591 It's not so much that I'm absorbing it but rather that as I kept playing I kept wanting a certain thing and it was locked behind a wall until I eventually got to it and learned how to use it. Like weapon crafting and co-op
Dagger technically but yeah, she's pretty good I should level mine
Koi
See Renelle and Ezelith are a good example of two similar units not stepping on toes. They're both fire dagger but Ezelith focuses on applying debuffs and Renelle focuses on enhancing crit. so even though the coability is vastly lower and Renelle is a 3*, she's still got the capacity to be pretty good.
Anno
my only 5 stars are ezelith and julietta I've been using julietta most of the time with jeanne and it seems to work out, but I'm not that far into the game so I don't have any idea how viable she'll be later she's really tanky though, she has about 300 more HP than my other units thanks to the boost from jeanne and how many HP upgrades she gets
Koi
>>581599 two is quite enough I have three now but I don't even use Ezelith atm Nefaria and Mikoto are my two Though I swapped out Mikoto for Erik because Erik is dark and I wanted to buff my darkness
Anno
Erik seems pretty cool, I got him yesterday good take on the noble savage
Anno
>got a second jeanne just three more to go
Koi
nice
Anno
got this cool old man too Light is easily my strongest element at this point, is it beneficial to make a full team of one element or is it better to spread out a bit? I mean aside from the elemental dungeons
Kirara, M.A.
hell yeah light buddies
Koi
It's good to have an elemental team for a number of reasons. One of which being that when you rank up your Light Altar at your base, it will increase the Might of that entire team at once. And that's good for the sake of reaching might objectives
HOWEVER it will absolutely suck when it comes down to getting your characters stuff unlocked because they'll be competing with each other for the same materials. Well, it's not that bad in that case but try not to use more than one of the same weapon on a team at least.

Koi
>>581610 Honestly, as long as youo don't mind farming the same thing ALL DAY it's okay. It's a REAL problem if you're doing something like multiple staves or multiple lances though Because you'll get to crafting and realize that you can either craft two lances for each unit, or craft five lances and then upgrade it for one unit and the second one will just be sitting on some cheap trash for far too long.
Anno
yeah I noticed that when I had to give my dude Ranzal the boot only room for one axe on this team also co-abilities don't stack so you're losing out by not varying your weapons
Kirara, M.A.
the skip tickets look like they can make farming a bit easier if you wait to be stronk and then binge them
Koi
you only get one a day if you don't buy them with money so you might as well stack them. Mind you, you can only use skips if you've cleared all three gold marks on a mission.
Kirara, M.A.

okay, time to enhance this weird as hell bow. I legit do not understand what the fuck this skill is about but I want it, I guess.
Anno
>>581621 wow same >>581622 oh wait, that's something else I've been wondering do you get any benefit from using a weapon of the same element as you like you do with dragons? if not it seems like // well actually nevermind that bit
Koi
It's the opposite, you LOSE benefits if you don't share the same element as the weapon. specifically the skill. I don't know if you do more damage by matching up with the weapon itself, it doesn't seem that way. but if the weapon is dark, and you aren't dark aligned, then you can't use the skill on the weapon.
Anno
Speaking of friend codes I got to put mine for the Switch here when I get home in a few. Hopefully I can stay awake long enough.
Anno
>>581624 well that's a pretty bad thing to lose good thing I didn't make that dark axe
Koi
Yeah just stay at Stage 2
Koi
For some reason, THIS is what connects to the Dark Bow in the 4* line and not the other one which is simply "Deal damage in a straight line" Which I should probably take anyway and not upgrade. But I wanna see how this works.
Anno
oh shit just got posiedon big dragons all day

Poseidon is good and I have not used him at all. I really haven't touched my Water units much at all.

my only 4* dragons are Phoenix, Unicorn, and the water and wind ones you get in the story unicorn seems cool since she gives +30% hp to light phoenix is a healer though i mean she gives the same +hp to fire but i don't really need the healing at least not right now
Koi
Phoenix's Healing is really nice. Her regen grant is higher than I expected it would be.
