Because assuming you get all rares in 30 pulls that’s 30 medals... which is about as great as getting 1 bulin.

#

So you’d effectively be paying $30 for a bulin if you’re lucky.

warm bluff
#

Which can also be farmed in like an hour UniCry

ornate mantle
#

Yeah.

#

If you win the gamble you win pretty well.

#

If you lose, then you neg so hard.

warm bluff
#

Gacha is pain

ornate mantle
#

Yeah.

#

Thankfully the chances are higher that you’ll roll an SSR

#

So just getting one of those means you’ll benefit.

#

But at the same time that’s such a shitty compensation that even the best case scenario in value is shitty realistically.

warm bluff
#

Chance of getting one of the event SRs in a 10 pull is ~33.5% UniCry

ornate mantle
#

You did what? 80 cubes? Maybe a hundred by this point?

warm bluff
#

Ya I'm at 100

ornate mantle
#

50 pulls each with a ~33.5% chance of being an event SSR

cosmic pier
#

oh nice my fren got zara

warm bluff
#

Which is 12.9% chance of not getting a single event SR

cosmic pier
#

only like 140 ish coobz

warm bluff
ornate mantle
#

Yeah man I’m sorry. If it makes you feel better you still have a really high chance of getting something if you keep going.

cosmic pier
ornate mantle
#

So daily pulls will get ya through.

cosmic pier
ornate mantle
warm bluff
#

The chance is still the same because probability is pain

stuck copper
#

anyone know how the UID thing worka

#

Works

ornate mantle

I’m trying to help ya.

warm bluff
ornate mantle
#

Because there’s no way you’ll get shit on from here.

#

Guaranteed.

cosmic pier

stuck copper
#

Like does it give up my account

warm bluff
#

Isn't that the thing where you have to convince an inactive player to come back though? UnicornFused

stuck copper
#

And lets someone else have it

warm bluff
#

I thought it was pointless lol

ornate mantle
#

I have t convinced anyone to come back

#

But I still got stuff

stuck copper
#

itll auto fill your account id into someone elses thing if they are just rejoining or something like that, im not sure entirely

ornate mantle
#

No its nots.

warm bluff
#

Wtf I'm missing out on stuff

ornate mantle
#

Yeah.

stuck copper
#

but you wont lose your account or anything if thats your concern

ornate mantle
#

LOL

#

LOSE YOUR ACCOUNT.

#

Imagine that shit.

stuck copper
#

would make a hilarious meme

warm bluff
#

So do i put my own uid in the thing

ornate mantle
#

I spent so much into my account.

stuck copper
#

your own UID is already ther

#

just literally click start

warm bluff
ornate mantle
#

And then as a result of helping someone else get back or start I lose mine.

warm bluff
#

I blame the wording

stuck copper
#

yea, its confusing

warm bluff
#

I thought it was one of those stupid player referral systems

ornate mantle
#

No

stuck copper
#

i didnt bother trying to understand it and just clicked start

dense wing
#

I thought it gave my UID to new people and they choose to add me or not

stuck copper
#

if you brought someone back and they used your UID instead of their own, you get the 30day chat frame and text border

ornate mantle
#

Uhhhhh, I don’t think so.

stuck copper
#

otherwise, everyone gets the same as far as i understand it

ornate mantle
#

So it’s only active for 30 days.

warm bluff
ornate mantle
#

That’s really lame.

stuck copper
#

sort of kawaa

dense wing
#

yeah you arent new forever lol

stuck copper
#

you get the chat frames if they use it

#

i dont think it has anything to do with friending

ornate mantle
#

No, like you get a chat frame depending on if you’re new or not

#

It’s different for both types.

stuck copper
#

yea, but they look literally identical

ornate mantle
#

One is rainbow

#

The other silver

#

But same overarching design.

#

I kinda like it.

stuck copper
#

one just says "welcome back", the other says "invitation"

ornate mantle
#

What.

#

Oh I thought it said “Leader” or something.

stuck copper
warm bluff
ornate mantle
#

Oh wtf

stuck copper
#

maybe, idk if it actually says that when in use though

ornate mantle
#

I’ve never seen that screen.

#

It should.

warm bluff
#

Maybe this is the reason i haven't rolled anything good

stuck copper
#

its in the style menu, where you change your secretary

ornate mantle
#

These are what I was thinking about.

#

And that’s cool! I just switched mine to the anni one.

#

They only last for 30 days which is lame.

stuck copper
#

oh, yea those are slightly more different

warm bluff
#

lol there's a qr code on that thing

stuck copper
#

but still basically the same

ornate mantle
#

I like how it’s topped off with like a thumbs up.

stuck copper
cosmic pier
ornate mantle
#

But yeah I like the UR coloration on the invitation one.

#

But why.

#

30 days.

stuck copper
ornate mantle
#

That’s very not cash money.

stuck copper
#

it doesnt much make sense and sense the description makes no sense either, i guess we just have to wait and see

ornate mantle
#

LOL

#

I suppose so.

stuck copper
#

or not, cuz our luck, none of us will get the fancy UR colored one

ornate mantle
#

First they take away my changed AI in Kizuna and now they take my border.

#

Next they’ll auto reset my account.

cosmic pier
#

just dont get the border

#

then they wont take it

Celeste is on sale for $10 right now, guess I'm not buying gems AkashiHide

ornate mantle
#

If it’s just $10 worth I’d say it’s hardly worth it.

warm bluff
ornate mantle
#

So yeah, Celeste is the better option.

#

As in $10 for gems on resources.

#

Is hardly worth.

warm bluff
#

Hmm, although if i rephrase that, i could say I'm saving $10 on the game

#

And use that as an excuse to whale AkashiHide

ornate mantle
#

I know you’re illiterate so let me make this easy.

#

1 0 RESOURCE, BAD. CELESTE, GOOD

warm bluff
#

Or i could get both AkashiHide

ornate mantle
#

Will you?

warm bluff
#

Idk, i need to decide how much I like not starving to death

ornate mantle
#

Well.

#

You can do all three if you’re smart.

#

Not Starve, GET Celeste, and get Resources.

warm bluff
#

You know me well enough to know I'm not smart EntyHeh

ornate mantle
#

I found a google play card.

warm bluff
#

It's not that i can't afford it, it's more that i can't justify throwing money at something that's not guaranteed UniHurt

ornate mantle
#

For $10

#

I don’t think anyone does.

#

I only really buy skins and dock.

#

Which is all guaranteed.

warm bluff
#

But the double gems is tempting

ornate mantle
#

Wtf.

#

Do you think I just dump gems into resources for the fuck of it?

#

Wait a second.

#

You didn’t use your double gems from the first round did you.

warm bluff
#

Nah i was taking about how i can't justify spending money, but double gems is tempting

#

Oh ya i only used the $1 and $5 double gems from last time

#

That's all i could get from Google play rewards

ornate mantle
#

I only have the $80 gem pack now.

#

So that’s gonna be saved for a holiday.

#

Or maybe my birthday.

#

Is usually how I’d spend that one.

warm bluff
stuck copper
#

i want to buy either a license or a gem pack, but the game is making it very difficult for me by not giving me what i want

#

just drop zara already

warm bluff
#

Need to drive home now, I'll definitely buy Celeste

stuck copper
#

celeste is great, but the b-sides are tough

warm bluff
#

Gotta decide whether i want to whale

ornate mantle
#

Honestly.

#

I’m your case I probably wouldn’t.

#

Unless there’s a skin you want.

cosmic pier
#

you can decide if you want to whale or not when there's like 2 days left if you're that desperate

But time is required to get the skills leveled up

ornate mantle

But yeah, if there’s a skin you want Luna I’d get it.

15 was the most recent one right.

stuck copper
#

ff14 is complicated

cosmic pier
#

ik apparently it had a launch but it was so shit

ornate mantle
#

Wait did appear before 13 or some shit.

cosmic pier
#

they had to shut it down

#

then relaunch

stuck copper
#

they had to rework and relaunch the entire game because the first itteration was so bad it flopped the day it came out

cosmic pier
#

apparently went from super shit to super good

#

or so some random review said

stuck copper
#

yeah

#

it was one of the worst mmos and they turned it into one of the best by changing some of the staff and stuff

ornate mantle
#

What was that one game that had such a shitty launch that the game couldn’t be played.

#

It was recent.

wintry sonnet
#

one man's lie?

ornate mantle

It’s a similar game to Destiny.

canonically, it still happened

it will never be good

well he didnt say it got better

wasnt it EA or some shit

wintry sonnet
#

it was

stuck copper
#

ea bioware

cosmic pier
#

I read some smol hype about it and I was like

#

"lul"

ornate mantle
#

It is an ultra shit start and when they fixed it it turned into really shit gameplay.

wintry sonnet
#

I mean one thing sums up anthem perfectly

cosmic pier
#

did you need to pay to access each new area

wintry sonnet
#

the only time people playing it had a good time

warm bluff
wintry sonnet
#

was a bug that made rare item drops more common

stuck copper
#

it was a game about loot, but the loot was shit

wintry sonnet
#

which they of course fixed because EntyHeh

ornate mantle
#

Oh yeah, and then they patched that.

stuck copper
#

and they didn't include half the stuff they promised

warm bluff
#

Those characters are terrifying

ornate mantle
#

What a fun game.

cosmic pier
#

they are cute

stuck copper
#

the developers legit didn't know what kind of game they were even making

warm bluff
ornate mantle
#

Patching the only elements that made it appealing.

#

Is such a pepega.

cosmic pier
#

this is why we cant have nice things

stuck copper
#

and when they saw the teaser they were like "what?" lmao

wintry sonnet
#

I mean the devs knew exactlywhat game they were making

wintry sonnet
#

they were told to make another live service cashcow

#

to follow suit on the money FIFA is making

stuck copper
#

that was later

ornate mantle
#

I imagine they had a bunch of toys lined up in the office and said “make this into a game.”

#

Whether it was a shitty game or not is irrelevant.

stuck copper
#

they were slacking off, hoping it would all come together eventually, but it never happened

ornate mantle
#

Anthem is that one game where the first 24 or so hours was dominated by loading screens.

wintry sonnet
#

the thing is, on a base gameplay level the game's not shit

#

passable at worst

stuck copper
#

the game looks pretty freaking cool, actually

wintry sonnet
#

it's everything built around it that poisons the well

#

if this was just a straight up single player or heck, evne a co-op game

#

without all the micros shoved down its ass

ornate mantle
#

I can agree that it’s a cool concept... but goddamn was it such a fuck up.

stuck copper
#

don't you want to pay 20 dollars for the color blue?

That sounds like something EA would do.

the other day I saw Angry Joe arguing with people over NBA 2k

it's what bethesda actually did

it wasn't just devs too

were doing that shit too

the argument that "it's just cosmetics" and "it doesn't affect gameplay" is complete bs btw

Fashionframe

it's a rhetoric

cosmetics are super important

the whole point of playing online games is to stand out

ornate mantle

Cosmetic are the only way to personalize a game.

cosmic pier
#

that game I had bought (with my own money and not thru sugar daddies ktxbye) which got sue'd by bethesda actually has devs that pretty actively talk with the players (atleast for now while its early access) and its pretty nice

stuck copper

and people feel the need to personalize things

ornate mantle
#

Indeed.

wintry sonnet

speaking of cosmetics

remember when Bethesda said there wont be any gameplay-affecting shit in their fallout 76 store

outside of the last 3 times they broke that promise already, they did it again recently

gacha takes advantage of people who spend so it goes hand in hand HappyHamm

you, spending, are happy
people, making the content, happy

i only care about bethesda because of doom eternal

they can release that and go fuck themselves

That’s like any good in the history of ever.

in a game's discord I got warned once for pinging a dev asking when was the server gonna be back cuz the servers had gone poof and there wasnt a single notice bout it

It’s a simple formula.

stuck copper

literally the only thing they're good at

But the most predominant in any setting.

making doom games

Pinging a dev is usually never a good idea in any form.

I mean Bethesda's not the developer tho

it's id

That’s a response to Rei

wintry sonnet

no I was talking about what cal said

ornate mantle
#

Oh okay.

cosmic pier

when the servers go the fuck down without any notice and the devs dont say anything for 2 hours

#

its like the only thing to do

wintry sonnet
#

Other than publishing Bethesda has nothing to do with Doom Eternal

cosmic pier
stuck copper

that is correct

and publishers are worthless at the best of times nowadays anyway

Yeah, I agree. But, devs don’t follow sound logic.

publishers meddle with development though

ornate mantle

Like owning up to their shit.

Or providing quality content.

At least most games are like that.

I mean devs dont make themselves any more likeable at times

lest you forget the guys behind Apex

Naisu.

#

Man I wonder what possesses devs to behave like children now.

#

Is it just the climate.

stuck copper
#

many of them don't even play games

cosmic pier
#

doesnt everyone behave like children now

ornate mantle
#

Well you’re not wrong.

#

Neither of you.

wintry sonnet
#

there's a reason why developers should have someone hired to deal with PR

#

lest we forget steam greenlight

warm bluff
#

The gaming industry is apparently doesn't really treat devs and workers well

wintry sonnet
#

and the pit of fuck that turned out to be

stuck copper
#

yeah, that too

ornate mantle
#

They hired one too many game journalists.

cosmic pier

steam whatlight now

imagine having to go through crunch because of your asshat publisher, then being told your game is shit

ornate mantle
#

Polygon

stuck copper
#

all that hard work for nothing

wintry sonnet
#

I mean I can empathise with some of the devs

stuck copper
#

i'm already salty when i cook and someone doesnt like it

dense wing
#

tera’s publishers, en masse
90% of them dont play tera

wintry sonnet
#

it's not easy to take shit on your game when you've spent months, years making it

dense wing
#

which is why theres such a miscommunication with them and the community now

wintry sonnet
#

so when people tell you it's bad, you'll end up taking it personally in some way

ornate mantle
#

There’s a lot of discontent on both sides.

warm bluff
#

lol enmasse used to be great but they ended up being garbage

wintry sonnet
#

heck I imagine the Apex guys might very well have broken because on one hand they wanted to make a good game

ornate mantle
#

It’s easily digestible with the good example.

wintry sonnet
#

but EA told them to fuck it over with ridiculous microtransactions

#

and now they're the ones on the frontline

#

having shit thrown at them

stuck copper
#

that's probably what happened

wintry sonnet
#

and EA could care less

ornate mantle
#

I can see that happening.

wintry sonnet
#

since their customers are the shareholders

#

not players

ornate mantle
#

They just want the profit.

cosmic pier
#

oh
new praey boss revealed
cant wait till they pop it ingame so I can see what it is

stuck copper
#

they like to release games without any of that stuff, then patch it in later, after word of mouth has told you that it's great

wintry sonnet
#

"Fifa will have no lootboxes"

#

"... at launch"

#

👏 stunning and brave

stuck copper
#

and it has high scores on metacritic

ornate mantle
#

LOL

stuck copper
#

because metacritic does not change scores

ornate mantle
#

“Beautiful and brave.”

cosmic pier
#

ah rite great announcements

ornate mantle
#

God it feels like everyone is getting participation trophies still.

wintry sonnet
#

apparently UK got their shit together and released a report where they said PEGI should enforce the gambling tag properly for lootboxes

#

or just outright remove the randomness and replace it with "you pay for it, you get the exact thing"

cosmic pier
#

rift's latest expansion at launch promised many things, it had promises of buncha stuff, people bought it, heck even I bought it at like 40$ but conversion rates were managable back then

#

then only 1/4 of the content were ingame at launch

#

white knights: "its fine they are gonna implement em over time"

wintry sonnet
#

that's how it always begins

stuck copper
#

early access mentality

warm bluff
#

I refuse to preorder anything other than Nintendo games

wintry sonnet
#

you get sycophants playing the white knight for companies

#

and then they just slowly and steadily take an inch with each game

#

first it was horse armor

stuck copper
#

i preorder nothing, and i don't buy early access titles

wintry sonnet
#

then it was on-disc dlc

cosmic pier
#

1 month later the 1 class balance guy they had quit and went to join mortal combat team or sth

wintry sonnet
#

now it's this shit

cosmic pier
#

so rift had effectively no class balance for a whole year and some months

#

no class skill change all that time

#

until they idk did something

#

I quit long before that lel

#

it was such a mess

#

and then gamigo just bought trion

#

and shut atlas which I used to play with muh friends down

stuck copper
#

they get away with way too much

#

and since they already took your money, they don't have to care

ornate mantle
#

Really

#

The white knight mentality is incredible.

stuck copper
#

nintendo

It’s like.

breath of the wild drops to 15-20 frames all the time: 10/10

wintry sonnet
#

"just an indie dev" is bullshit

cosmic pier
#

well, with that gif mentioning no man's sky, atleast I hear it gathered its shit

wintry sonnet
#

the game had Sony's money behind it

cosmic pier
#

and is actually worth playing now or sth

wintry sonnet
#

too little too late if you ask me

#

the whole concept should be you pay for the game, you get the game

#

not you pay for the game, you get the rest of the game in 2 years

ornate mantle
#

The only “good time” a game has to make an impression is the start.

cosmic pier
#

technically collecting their shit and actually making an effort to do sth is still better than not doing shit for it

#

ofc, great first impressions are good n all but

#

there's barely any of that these days

wintry sonnet
#

Well sorry, but if you come to my house and take a shti on my desk, I dont care if you're gonna apologise and clean it up afterwards

#

dont take a shit on my desk in the first place

cosmic pier
#

lol

ornate mantle
#

^

#

It’s like that.

#

Shitting on your customers at the start is a good way to lose the playerbase forever.

stuck copper
#

what's worse is that all the kids are used to it, so ofc they see nothing wrong with it, while we old people complain about everything

wintry sonnet
#

I dont see why anyone should praise someone for fixing a mistake they shouldn't have made in the first place

#

you can acknowledge they fixed it, fair enough

#

but applauding them outright is a no

ornate mantle
#

This is the era of the white knight.

stuck copper
#

yeah, going from a negative to a neutral state does not make it a positive lol

#

should have been that way in the first place

wintry sonnet
#

^

stuck copper
#

"but they listen to criticism"

ornate mantle
#

I think also that these companies having progressively deteriorating reputations has made the climate much more volatile.

#

Like, the drop of a hat is gonna send the devs into a fucking frenzy.

#

And then the white knights show up

wintry sonnet
#

funny thing is, companies did exactly what they always did

#

chase profits

#

when they discovered how much shit they can get away with by copying mobile games with their microtransactions and gacha mechanics, they didnt just make the goose lay golden eggs

stuck copper
#

imagine white-knighting for free

wintry sonnet
#

they cloned the goose and built a massive farm

ornate mantle
#

Imagine white knighting in general.

wintry sonnet
#

only problem being there's finite number of money int he world and sooner or later you get to the point you can't grow any further

#

so now they have to trip over one another to squeeze every little penny more

stuck copper
#

a job is a job, but being a hooker and doing it for free is different, imho

wintry sonnet
#

to satisfy the shareholders

ornate mantle
#

Well true. But you’re a hooker in the end anyways.

stuck copper
#

sure, but one is dumber than the other. that's my point lmao

wintry sonnet
#

pretty sure you gotta be taking money to be considered that

#

otherwise you're just a nympho

ornate mantle
#

Yeah I gotcha, lmao.

#

It’s just such a minuscule difference.

wintry sonnet
#

honestly, I can't wait for this bubble to just burst

#

and spray liquid shit over all the big publishers

stuck copper
#

don't spend too much time on the details. it's just a dumb analogy

wintry sonnet
#

we've overdue another game crash anyway

ornate mantle
#

Imagine the day when the white knights turn into normal people.

warm bluff
#

Money doesn't have to be a zero sum game though, technology constantly makes resources more abundant

wintry sonnet
#

the money isn't the real issue here inab

#

it's time

ornate mantle
#

Sucks when a comp y puts out a game using resources and has nothing to show for it in the end.

#

I think it’s both.

wintry sonnet
#

you can make more and more money but you can't have more time than 24 hours in a day

stuck copper
#

just make a good game

cosmic pier
#

nice joke

stuck copper
#

it's not that hard

cosmic pier
wintry sonnet
#

and most games coming out nowadays are following the live service shenanigans

ornate mantle
#

“Make a good game.” Innovation at its finest.

stuck copper

that's all we want

wintry sonnet

meaning you have to commit to one of them

cosmic pier

"it's not that hard"

Making a game is hard UniHurt

Honestly just play games for the lewds.

warm bluff

Programming is hard UniHurt

stuck copper

that is correct

ornate mantle
#

Programming is annoying.

wintry sonnet

learn2code

stuck copper
#

i think we're mixing up programming and designing

#

Hello u556Wave

#

but yeah, if you're ubisoft, definitely do better programming.

cosmic pier
#

replace all your friend's ; or whatever it was with the german (or whatever language it was)'s something

ornate mantle
#

I know how to code, I just hate every moment of it.

cosmic pier
wintry sonnet

you're doing it wrong then azu

coding is all about passion

stuck copper

Poggers

ornate mantle

Probably, lol.

wintry sonnet

and if you can't do crunch every day, you're not worthy

ornate mantle
#

I definitely wouldn’t say I am.

wintry sonnet
#

or whatever that guy from DirectX said

ornate mantle
#

I don’t doubt I’m unfit for programming, XD

stuck copper
#

programmers be like "i made the thing. but is it efficient enough?"

warm bluff
#

I like programming, otherwise i wouldn't be a software developer UniFlex

ornate mantle
#

I’m a biologist... so working with DNA and cancer is somewhat the same.

cosmic pier
#

oh it was greek

warm bluff
#

That sounds like cancer EntyHeh

ornate mantle
#

It’s a big tragedy.

#

Cancer is so stupid.

stuck copper
#

doesn't it show the line with the error though?

warm bluff
#

Ya ides do

stuck copper
#

i remember that much from my three months at IT school

wintry sonnet
#

I can imagine an even more evil thing

ornate mantle
#

You can get it over time, you can spontaneously develops it... you can inherit it or maybe you don’t even need to Inherit it.

wintry sonnet
#

replace an a with the cyryllic a

#

even when it shows you the error, you wont have a clue what it is

cosmic pier
#

just rewrite it

warm bluff
#

Depending on the language that still isn't too hard to debug

ornate mantle
#

Cancer is the equivalent of telling a friend to shut the fuck up but they don’t or telling a friend to speak up but they don’t.

warm bluff
#

Just code in one of the esoteric languages and nobody will know what it means EntyHeh

ornate mantle
#

I only know C++

cosmic pier
#

I dunno any kinda coding BetaMad

wintry sonnet
#

I only really had experience iwth mSL

#

had to learn it when making my stream chatbot

stuck copper
#

i had fun, but i had no idea what i was doing

warm bluff
#

If you know one language you pretty much know them all UniFlex

ornate mantle
#

Sort of.

#

Maybe it’s just because coding is hard for me, lmao.

warm bluff
#

I'm sure you know more than you think you do UniFlex

ornate mantle
#

Debugging is the worst.

#

Trying to interpret other people’s logic.

cosmic pier
#

once won a robot programming contest and won like the equivalent of 10 bucks but they never gave the money and then just disappeared off the face of earth EssexCry

#

that same money is worth 2$ now cuz exchange rates changed

ornate mantle
#

Maybe that code was all they needed and now they run a successful company.

cosmic pier
#

lol

warm bluff
#

Ya that's why malware reverse engineering was the hardest class I've ever taken

cosmic pier
#

it was just a smol time contest where we had to give sufficient programs to a car like robot with impact sensors or sth and they had to get from start to end

#

saw some funny shit over there

ornate mantle
#

Yeah malware reverse engineering sounds like a bitch.

#

Sounds about as hard as Cell & Molecular Biology.

#

Honestly can’t remember half the shit from that class because of how hard it drove me up the wall.

cosmic pier
#

the path was sth like this

#

saw a buncha em go near the end

#

and then return to start

stuck copper
#

what are the reasons for the '!' in cat lodge

cosmic pier
#

nothing

stuck copper
#

free slots

cosmic pier
#

absolutely no reason PortDoll

ornate mantle
#

You have something finished.

stuck copper
#

free slots as in formations w/o cats?

warm bluff
#

Ya it was super difficult, especially since malware authors don't want others to know what their code does, but tbh cell and molecular biology sounds infinitely harder to me UniHurt

ornate mantle
#

As in you have some cats done or there are more slots to put cats into.

stuck copper
#

i think there's a red mark in the cattery whenever you can unpack more cats

#

yeah, that

#

i have one queue w/ the timer still running

cosmic pier
#

afaik sometimes its just random and it goes away if you enter and come out

stuck copper
#

but other than that no boxes on standby

cosmic pier
#

not sure if they fixed that or nein

warm bluff
#

The bug is still there unfortunately, it's really annoying UniHurt

ornate mantle
#

The class was really hard.

cosmic pier
#

i dont like hard classes
too hard for my liking PortDoll

ornate mantle
#

Especially since the instructor was like “This shits easy guys, I’m treating you like you’re PhDs already.”

#

I passed with a B.

#

But in reality I basically failed.

cosmic pier
ornate mantle
#

At least I felt like I failed

#

Everyone in the class.

#

Either felt like they failed or were basically full time student without jobs.

#

So you could tell who had time to really hammer in the concepts or who were short on time to do the same.
