[crystal forum]

this is from the words of 4channers right

[arctic talon]

except they were so bad

you'd never power them LOL

[winter vessel]

Was deleting some old photos to free up space. I found this under my “Warhammer” album

[arctic talon]

wtf is that

genuine question

[crystal forum]

isn't that from a dog shit movie

a girl in an insane asylum

[lament shoal]

The sororitas had a rebranding it seems

[winter vessel]

Ballsack Snyder’s Sucker Punch film

[crystal forum]

isn't there a mecha samurai

with a minigun

why do i remember this

[opaque coyote]

I mean from the actual leak itself.

Although tbh, I couldn't imagine joining the FBI and your job is to moderate /tg/

[lament shoal]

Why was that in your warhammer folder lol

[opaque coyote]

[winter vessel]

No that’s a demon infused samurai…with a mini gun

[crystal forum]

awesome

[arctic talon]

the TIE defender is really weirdly balanced in Squadrons

[crystal forum]

can somebody arrest snyder

[arctic talon]

thing has hellish power managment

since your shields actually matter

but you're flying an Empire fighter still

so uh have fun being built squishy(aside from your shields)

[crystal forum]

@arctic talon

[arctic talon]

do I even want to watch this

genuine question

[crystal forum]

check out this dog shit

[winter vessel]

Well as you commented just earlier. I think it was because that one particular imagination battle where they were fighting against steam punk WW1 undead German soldiers. My thought process at the time was “Sisters of Battle aiding Guard Forces against Traitor Regiments”

[lament shoal]

Ah okay lol

[arctic talon]

also the worst way to play Star wars squadrons

on your phone

behold

[crystal forum]

why not

just watch dog shit

[winter vessel]

MOBILE

[winter vessel]

Heh. I still liked his portrayal of 300.

[crystal forum]

well of course

that movie rocked my ass like my friend last night

[winter vessel]

‘Xerxes’

[arctic talon]

funny ass teirlist for Fleetbattles in Squadrons

[crystal forum]

300 taught me that disabled people are evil and must be killed

[arctic talon]

guh

[winter vessel]

Damn what did the A Wing do to players?

[arctic talon]

Way too squishy in fleetbattles

not enough utility to help get your bombers to enemy ships

thing gets torn up by Escorts

[crystal forum]

where's the Y wing

[arctic talon]

star destroyer will just make mincemeat of you

S teir

[winter vessel]

Acceptable tier

[arctic talon]

A Wing is absurdly good in dogfights

[crystal forum]

i still have a 2000's lego of Y wing

best looking star wars ship

[arctic talon]

downside is dogfights aren't like

the main thing you're doing

B-Wing probably goes down to like S teir in dogfighting

[bold veldt]

oddly realistic to irl

[arctic talon]

because the thing is uh

fucking horrifying

[arctic talon]

it has Ion weapons + a bunch of guns + proton torpedos

So like

have fun

have fun losing all power and then getting blown up

[crystal forum]

you really enjoyed this shit game didn't you wolf

[arctic talon]

Yes

I did

[plush mason]

thats just evil

[arctic talon]

[crystal forum]

with a mouse

[arctic talon]

you want to know whats more evil

I didn't play it with am ouse

I played it with a controller

the TIE Defender

[crystal forum]

slightly better

[arctic talon]

can ram into rebel ships and kill them lol

if your shields are healthy enough + on medium power

you can just ram into an X-wing/A-Wing/B-wing/Y-wing and kill them on the spot

[crystal forum]

tf is a b wing

is there the whole alphabet

[arctic talon]

this fuckin thing

[crystal forum]

i thought that was the bobba fet ship from the silhouette

[arctic talon]

though you'll have to soften up the Y-wing a bit first

since its got fat shields for no reason lol

actually I know why it does

[crystal forum]

what movie is this jn

[arctic talon]

Six

[crystal forum]

uuuh

empire strikes back?

[winter vessel]

ROTJ

[crystal forum]

oh right

i dont remember it

it looks like some prequel shit

[crystal forum]

what's that weird ass bomber thing that was in 9 i think

[arctic talon]

Starhawk?

thing gets called a piece of crap in squadrons LOL

by the new republic pilots

during campain banter

[crystal forum]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/5a/MG-100_Starfortress.png/revision/latest?cb=20230813062536

[lament shoal]

Ngl I never noticed how that scream sounds like a tie fighter lmao

[crystal forum]

the fuck my shit up fam special

[arctic talon]

cool idea

terrible execution

lol

[crystal forum]

it looks like shit

like who tf designed this

[arctic talon]

[crystal forum]

they should be executed

[winter vessel]

From the trailer I actually thought it was gonna be like the rebel medical frigate

[crystal forum]

why did they bother putting wings

tiny ass stunty wings

and in the movie it just slowly goes to bomb shit

[bold veldt]

physics

[arctic talon]

Oh also a funny detail in Squadrons

[crystal forum]

fucking WW2 bombing strats

[arctic talon]

if you wave at the storm troopers or new republic soldiers in the hanger

they wave back lol

[bold veldt]

it works does it not

[arctic talon]

this serves absolutely 0 purpose

but its fun

[bold veldt]

90% mortality rate but the obj was achieved

[crystal forum]

dude bombers had like 75% death rate

just make the fucking thing go faster

[bold veldt]

squadrons was a nice little change of pace

[winter vessel]

Let me top off that bomber with this thing 😂. The Coronet

[lament shoal]

GOLF CLUB

[bold veldt]

oh yea, rhe ship where anakin decided to leave his morals at the doorstep

[winter vessel]

It’s supposed to be a luxury star craft

[arctic talon]

Tie bomber

[crystal forum]

ITS CALLED A STARFORTRESS

[winter vessel]

Mf looks like a beaker in a chemistry class

[arctic talon]

TIE bomber is so fucking funny in Squadrons lol

thing is actually a goddamn death trap

[crystal forum]

it's literally a WW2 bomber

holy fuck

[arctic talon]

you blow your load and then you're fucked

[opaque coyote]

Ah yes

[arctic talon]

99% of the time

and get torn apart LOL

[opaque coyote]

The ultimate bomber

[crystal forum]

the republic had better bombers than this

with the Y wing

[bold veldt]

tie bomber is shit in squadrons AND BF2

[arctic talon]

yeah

Tbh

its good in Squadrons

its just uh

you're a massochist if you love it

Because you will die

Its pretty good as a utility piece in dogfights

as a bomber in Fleetbattles uh

better hope you know how to dodge everything

[opaque coyote]

Tbf the TIE fighters were generally considered to be garbage in lore so it fits.

Also makes it far more impressive that Vader/Anakin could use one and get out alive.

[crystal forum]

what ship did vader use

[arctic talon]

TIE Advanced

its an experimental one

that isn't dogshit

[bold veldt]

special ship

[crystal forum]

also wait isn't the tie bomber only seen like once when they're bombing the big worm asteroid

[bold veldt]

for a special boy

[arctic talon]

Its also seen in Episode 6

but yeah thats the main time you see it lol

[bold veldt]

in the movies it gets zero screentime

[crystal forum]

star wars has so much shit that's seen for 1 frame

[opaque coyote]

Vader/Anakin was an expert pilot after all

He probably saw the TIE Fighter and was like

"Holy shit, this fucking sucks."

[bold veldt]

dont forget the shoe

[opaque coyote]

[bold veldt]

never forget the shoe rock

[winter vessel]

I still remember my reaction process of the SS Destroyer in Episode 5. I was “whoa Supersized?!”

[crystal forum]

isn't the tie fighter canonically meant to swarm other fighters

[arctic talon]

playing as a bomber in squadrons in fleet battle

means you're derranged

[arctic talon]

yes

[bold veldt]

yes..

i think

speed

[crystal forum]

like it's not even meant to be good

[bold veldt]

no shields

[arctic talon]

its meant to be speed + swarm

it is meant to be good

you just need to have no blood

/hj

[bold veldt]

large manufactoring numbers

[arctic talon]

as star wars squadron prooves

[bold veldt]

and cheap

[opaque coyote]

If the original Star Wars was made with all the modern Disney lore (ew).

Vader probably would've used the burnt version of Padme's ship
@arctic talon

[arctic talon]

if you don't worry about G-forces

turns out its really good lol

[winter vessel]

I always believed the screeching emitted from a tie fighter was the Imperial’s “Show of Force” tactic

[arctic talon]

however imperial pilots in lore

have things like blood

and organs

shame really

[crystal forum]

you know i was a stupid child who expected the fighter scene in 7 to be really about the ships

[bold veldt]

its highly likely they built a piece into the tie just for scare

[crystal forum]

but i was disappointed

[bold veldt]

like the stuka

[crystal forum]

movies never have good plane scenes

[arctic talon]

Anyways yeah Squadrons made me actually like the TIE fighters

lol

[bold veldt]

midway?

[arctic talon]

because they're actually scary

[opaque coyote]

Again. Anybody who unironically supports the Empire doesn't actually read

[arctic talon]

and interesting

[opaque coyote]

Because the Empire is

Stupid

[crystal forum]

i havent seen that one

[arctic talon]

you get to shoot up a civllian convoy

[crystal forum]

is it old

[arctic talon]

and steal shit from them as the empire

LOL

[bold veldt]

tis good

no

[arctic talon]

in Squadrons

[bold veldt]

like 2019

[arctic talon]

its really funny

because the next mission you're playing as the New Republic again

[bold veldt]

okay its a bit old

[arctic talon]

and "how could the empire do this"

[crystal forum]

dont worry that's new to me

[arctic talon]

(and you just killed all those civllians)

genuinely one of the easiest missions in the game

aside from all the screaming

For you to stop

[bold veldt]

squadrons story is goofy

[arctic talon]

Its like

[opaque coyote]

There is one detail that I actually do like. Unfortunately it's Legends so it might not be canon anymore.

But essentially there was one guy in charge of firing the Death Star laser

[arctic talon]

Star wars soap opera stuff lol

[opaque coyote]

And he (understandably) was extremely hesitant

[arctic talon]

I think its acceptable quality

[bold veldt]

the button pusher?

[opaque coyote]

And also hated his job

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

The button pusher is canon

still

[bold veldt]

hes best character

[opaque coyote]

Honestly thank god since I actually like that

[crystal forum]

giving humanity to the empire? definitely not something written by george lucas

[arctic talon]

it wasn't

lol

oh also Squadrons trailer was cool

[opaque coyote]

Like imagine having the power to literally annihilate a planet with the press of a button.

Of course you would delay as much as possible

[arctic talon]

because it shows the New Republic in an antagonstic light lol

which is a fun twist on the usual thing

[winter vessel]

Side note, I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing the Storm Troopers in action for Tales of the Underworld

[opaque coyote]

Honestly wonder if in lore, any Inquistor like

Vomited after calling Exterminatus

[arctic talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2VmOqjV_7Q

[opaque coyote]

Like after they pressed the button

Saw billions get vaporized

They went to their bed and just

Stared at the wall

Contemplating what have they done

[winter vessel]

It’s probably the only respect I have for em. Seeing as how much of a pussy the NR is in the sequel trilogy

[opaque coyote]

Because even for the most zealous Imperial Inquistor, destroying a planet would be

Horrific

[arctic talon]

I like how the NR is actually shown as competent and dangerous in Squadrons tbh

they're terrifying for the Empire

[opaque coyote]

Wait actually

[arctic talon]

and they're out to exterminate the Empire

Yes

[opaque coyote]

Holy shit

[arctic talon]

they're literally out to kill the Empire to the man lol

They don't accept surrender explictly

[winter vessel]

Yeah like, where was this power post old trilogy?

[opaque coyote]

Only took Disney this long to actually make the New Republic competent in battle.

...too bad the uhhhh-

Uh

What are there fucking names again

I genuinely forgot

[crystal forum]

fighter scenes in any context legit give me goose pumps every time man

[opaque coyote]

The Empire 2.0

[crystal forum]

i love that shit

[opaque coyote]

I'm just gonna call them that

The Empire 2.0 came

[winter vessel]

First Order

Basically me getting breakfast at Mcd

[opaque coyote]

Right

They could've done something cool

Lean into the Sith part more

Do like

Anything else

But no, literally rehash the empire

[crystal forum]

we dont need to talk about new star wars being bad we ALL know

[arctic talon]

This is literally the first person in the New Republic shown to you when you boot up Squadrons lol

[winter vessel]

The Final Order.

[arctic talon]

in the opening Cinematic

Like

[opaque coyote]

I know

I know

I'm still frustrated at that specific choice though

[arctic talon]

They managed to make the Rebel pilot getup look scary

[opaque coyote]

AT LEAST USE CLONES

Anyways

[arctic talon]

with the visors hiding the eyes and everything

[crystal forum]

it's been enough years we gotta move forward

[arctic talon]

oh yeah that new Star wars Xcom game

looks good

[opaque coyote]

Holy shit fr

[opaque coyote]

Oh damn

They somehow managed to make that goofy outfit go hard

[winter vessel]

That’s the face I see on a guy in the gunner seat for an Attack Helicopter. The look of “Just another Tuesday” mentality of battle

[opaque coyote]

"But how can you kill women and children?"

"SIMPLE! I JUST DON'T LEAD EM THAT MUCH!"

[crystal forum]

@arctic talon WAIT DID HE FUCKING REVERSE A MISSILE

[arctic talon]

YES

Its super cool

you can do it in the game

[crystal forum]

what the actual

first of all there being missiles in star wars is coom

[opaque coyote]

Star Wars Squadrons?

[arctic talon]

yes

all the stuff shown in the trailer except the water trick at the end

[opaque coyote]

Maybe I should buy it

[arctic talon]

is doable in game

[crystal forum]

why have i never heard of this game before wolf

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

because

it was a commercial flop

[crystal forum]

ah shit

[arctic talon]

EA did advertise it a ton

[crystal forum]

is it dead

[arctic talon]

it just came out at a bad time

its mostly dead

the community runs weekly things

every weekend

[opaque coyote]

Cringe

[arctic talon]

Always full though

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

but yeah

the campaign imo is worth playing

if you like soap opera stuff lol

[opaque coyote]

You got me hyped up bruh

[arctic talon]

Also they gave the rebel pilot in the opening a Southern Accent

lol

[crystal forum]

holy shit the empire pilot is literally takeo

from zombies

[arctic talon]

"War's over IMP"

[opaque coyote]

I mean didn't the rebellion start with like

Outer planets

Of the empire's reach

[arctic talon]

yeah

also some inner ones

but not as vocal

[opaque coyote]

Yeah that makes sense then tbh.

[crystal forum]

alright this trailer is good

[arctic talon]

ikr

[crystal forum]

i approve

[opaque coyote]

Most of the fighters would be from the boonies

[arctic talon]

SHAME THE GAME FAILED

well

it succeded I guess

it made back its money more then 2x over

but it was never gona be live service

[crystal forum]

porkins

[arctic talon]

what a name

lol

[crystal forum]

the best

[winter vessel]

I never really got to play. Only watch. Most likely because of my precognition and history of how shit I am with piloting Star fighters in Battlefront games

Which I believed would just carry over to Squadrons

[crystal forum]

does the game fly like a battlefield

[arctic talon]

No

lol

[crystal forum]

thank god

[arctic talon]

its a fully fleged flightsim like Ace combat

lol

except with space ships

and more derranged geforces

[crystal forum]

like actual flight sim

[arctic talon]

Eh

Acecombat flight sim

so like derranged super fighter fantasy flight sim

[winter vessel]

Getting a barf bag ready for each starfighter pilot

[arctic talon]

the poor G-forces

I subjected my pilot to

bro is dead

[winter vessel]

Boy is jelly with them G’s

[arctic talon]

the only thing restricting you

is "pinballing"

[bold veldt]

permanently aged 40 years

[arctic talon]

which happens if you rotate way too much

lol

anyways if you watch how Ace Combat/Project Wingman plays you'll get a close aproximation

lol

[bold veldt]

to irl flight?

minus the fuck off lasers

and nuke railcannon

[arctic talon]

lol

[bold veldt]

ace combat is kind of a goof game

[winter vessel]

Imagine if we had the power of Slave 1’s bomb

[arctic talon]

its super goofy

I love ace combat lol

Project wingman is even more deranged plot wise

and I love it even more

I like how Monarch is called Monarch because they like butterflies lol

their emblem is literally a butterfly

[bold veldt]

reminds me of Rusty

[bold veldt]

more by his calling card than anything

[arctic talon]

a very angry angular butterfly

but its a butterfly

[bold veldt]

armored core 6 is great

im stuck on the end boss tho

[arctic talon]

which one

[bold veldt]

Ayre

first run

[arctic talon]

ah

[bold veldt]

i feel good at the game till i get to Ayre

she makes my setup feel terrible

buncha water guns

i despise enemies that use sheilds

[arctic talon]

Ayre is very hard

[bold veldt]

zero damage potential

[arctic talon]

you'll learn her fight eventually

[bold veldt]

99% of her fight is shield damage

[arctic talon]

I've beaten it with the starting loadout + an extra rack of missiles to test my own level of massochism

[bold veldt]

ive gotten i think to 2nd phase intro

[arctic talon]

she stops using shields

partway through

[bold veldt]

first thing i thought was,
“oh shit, its fucking space Malenia!”

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/ayre-armored-core-armored-core-6-armored-core-vi-fires-of-rubicon-gif-709907792423066696

[bold veldt]

her shadows scared me

[arctic talon]

CORAL

[bold veldt]

coral hurts

[arctic talon]

Ayre is the second hardest of the 3 endbosses tbh

imo

[bold veldt]

the boss scaling is confusing

[arctic talon]

||walter is way easier|| and ||Iguazu is a fucking nightmare but at least you get ayre with you||

[bold veldt]

some are easy late game, and then you get stuck on one rando boss

[arctic talon]

tbh

Just learning is what always matters

[bold veldt]

i either had no issue with a boss, or was stuck with like 12 deaths

some i said fuck it and looked online for a cheese build

which consists of a heavier AC and stagger

stagger fucks

[arctic talon]

yeah ACS overload is a core mechanic

for better or for worse

[bold veldt]

||Raven|| was eating me up

in the bad way

[arctic talon]

lol

ngl If I could make a single change in AC6

[bold veldt]

i forget the name of the rifle

[arctic talon]

it would be to remove repair kits

[crystal forum]

wolf can you tell me something

[arctic talon]

and just

apply all the HP baseline

[bold veldt]

but its the particle rifle or something

[crystal forum]

https://youtu.be/NXGwaJBB_J0?si=oCyV3hXiUwYUxNAp

[arctic talon]

and boost ammo count

[crystal forum]

is this china

is this what china is like

[bold veldt]

smoke inhalation is fun

[crystal forum]

he fucking falls into the hatch

[arctic talon]

title is in chinese

[crystal forum]

does this make sense

[arctic talon]

I can't tell what country its in

lol

[crystal forum]

is this normal for china

[arctic talon]

could be China or Taiwan

define normal

LOL

[crystal forum]

does everybody in china know how to weld and screw shit together

i swear

[arctic talon]

its mainland china

simplified chinese + bilibli account shows it is

also no not everyone in China knows how to weld and screw shit together

its a fun past time in the boonies in taiwan though

not sure about China

[crystal forum]

ah ok

[arctic talon]

but I'd assume similar stereotype

[crystal forum]

so rural eastern europe is similar to rural taiwan/china

[arctic talon]

These guys look like they live out in the middle of fucking nowhere

lol

just based on the nightsky

being so clear of light pollution

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEJVasxsiI0

[bold veldt]

nothing beats looking up at the stars with little to no light pollution

one of the reasons i loved growing up on a farm

[crystal forum]

yeah but at this point they get a shit ton of money from world of tanks

[arctic talon]

def

[bold veldt]

hundreds of stars with probably thousands of unknown planets and systems

[arctic talon]

they do a ton of sponsered videos

[crystal forum]

world of tanks has so much ad money budget

[arctic talon]

on Bili Bili lol

[crystal forum]

yet farmers too dumb to know what they are

[bold veldt]

…idk how to feel ab that

[crystal forum]

that was mean actually

[bold veldt]

the farmer stereotype being just a bunch of dumb animal hands is… unrealistic

[crystal forum]

i dont see shit in the sky

[bold veldt]

the amount of work it takes

[crystal forum]

also space sucks

[bold veldt]

only when theres atmosphere

then jts nothng

[crystal forum]

yeah it's pretty

[arctic talon]

@crystal forum there's a more derranged one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eKBskMUHAU

[crystal forum]

but like somebody has a degree in looking at planets

wooohooo i can tell where it will be in 100000 years

[crystal forum]

it's so fucking violent

these guys are mechanical engineering students 100%

[arctic talon]

yeah absolutely lol

this shit is hilarious

[arctic talon]

its a weird stereotype lol

[bold veldt]

you do need smarts to work a farm

[arctic talon]

it is literally a business lol

[crystal forum]

i thought farming was technical smarts

you can't really theoretically grow a farm

[bold veldt]

everyone needs to count

one thing i think people dont understand too: animals just die

they dont have survival rates that we do

some will die

at birth, at random

diseases

[crystal forum]

i thought it was bullshit when people said that without farmer's we'll die but like from what i've learned you need so much generational knowledge for it to work right

[bold veldt]

injury

[bold veldt]

the generations of farmers everywhere keep the world turning

no joke

no food

you lose materials

ecosystem effects

its just one of those things people dont think about

[arctic talon]

mfw mass famine

[crystal forum]

ye i went to a rural highschool

[arctic talon]

everyone dies

[crystal forum]

farmers fucking love tractors is all i know

[bold veldt]

farmer boycotts are scary

[crystal forum]

they talk about it like it's sports cars

[bold veldt]

never piss off a farmer

[arctic talon]

Tbh

[bold veldt]

if you piss one off, the whole community knows about it

[arctic talon]

Tractors are like

really cool pieces of engineering

also expensive as shit lol

most farm equipment is really cool

[crystal forum]

they're scams these days

[arctic talon]

I was split between Mech e and Comp sci

I ended up picking comp sci because I'm lame

and a nerd

[crystal forum]

indeed

[bold veldt]

COMP SCI

MY BELOVED

[crystal forum]

at least you wont be useless when it comes to soldering

like software engineers

[bold veldt]

big word for “coding”

[crystal forum]

doing the one branch of engineering that requires everybody else to do the groundwork

[bold veldt]

speaking of comp sci, what language do you guys recommend? unless i need to specify for what

[crystal forum]

python for realistic workplace expectations

everybody is switching to python idc what wolf will say

[bold veldt]

what would wolf say

C++

[crystal forum]

nah prob something like html

[arctic talon]

I LOVE C++ RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[arctic talon]

I like python but its also agony to make work sometimes

lol

I'm just familiar with C++

[crystal forum]

it's workable

[arctic talon]

it is my comfy programming language

[bold veldt]

i wasnt expecting the html reference

[crystal forum]

i also prefer C++ since microcontrollers

but industry is python

[bold veldt]

i cant really say i have a comfy language

im still in my first year, im all in on java

[crystal forum]

oh right

you said this before

[bold veldt]

no choice really

[crystal forum]

and it still makes me want to vomit

thankfully you'll be able to do minecraft mods now

[bold veldt]

its the only language ik man😭🙏🏻

thankfully i can still discern the basic idea of how code works in other languages

cause it is a language after all

take a shot every time you say language

or statement

[crystal forum]

it's just a weird one

[lament shoal]

Somebody spilled tomato sauce all over the floors of my palace

[crystal forum]

i'd rather learn coding in visual languages

[bold veldt]

thats… a lot of tomato sauce..
you planning a party?

[lament shoal]

I was... till someone spilled it all

[bold veldt]

right

[bold veldt]

?clarify

[arctic talon]

lol

[crystal forum]

im brain farting so hard on the thing i took years in college to learn

the fucking visual program

wtf is the name again

[bold veldt]

uhm

beats me

[crystal forum]

im struggling to find it

AH

I GOT IT

labview

very fun to learn coding and core concepts

also to understand real world implementations

[bold veldt]

i see

[crystal forum]

something that university sucks at teaching

[bold veldt]

im being taught coding by a 40 yr old 40k nerd

and just nerd in general

its great

[crystal forum]

is he a professor though

like a lifelong professor

[bold veldt]

no

[crystal forum]

alright

[bold veldt]

its a midlevel hs

[crystal forum]

those people are fucking useless for engineering

[bold veldt]

and we lost a bunch of computer science kids to a richer school

cause rich kids

[crystal forum]

that just means the grade average will go up

[bold veldt]

eh

maybe

but he doesnt teach the senior class

some other guy does

im in “Honors” right now
next year i have “AP Principles”
and then ill take “AP A”, the final level, atleast at the school

🤷🏻‍♂️

[crystal forum]

what's AP

[bold veldt]

Advanced Placement

prepares you for college level

[crystal forum]

wait are you not in college

[bold veldt]

no

im in highschool

[crystal forum]

why are you learning coding in highschool

[bold veldt]

cuz

coding cool

[crystal forum]

yeah

are you going to do projects

like a robot

[bold veldt]

robotics? id prefer not

not in these classes atleast

[crystal forum]

what's the point of learning coding by itself

[bold veldt]

Ap Principles is the most “visual” learning, cause you actually make like game screens and shit

[bold veldt]

..fun?

isnt any piece of software 99% background code

[crystal forum]

it still needs an actual application

[bold veldt]

yea

but im still in the beginner class

besides some coding.com bullshit

[crystal forum]

yeah and your beginner class should be learning to code microcontrollers

very very easy

and teaches hardware too

[bold veldt]

dude ik people in this class that are struggling

its easy

but theres no alternative

[crystal forum]

you could do it yourself if you want

[bold veldt]

i get 100’s on tests and other people need a curve, and still get 30’s

[crystal forum]

just buy a cheap arduino knockoff

the software is C++

and free

[bold veldt]

myeah thats a lot of work

[crystal forum]

it really isn't

[bold veldt]

and i kinda made my life hard for other reasons

no time

im quite lazy when it comes to something that doesnt readily interest me

in academics atleast

[crystal forum]

you dont sound like a computer engineering guy

[bold veldt]

i like code

[crystal forum]

i think you'd prefer software engineering

[arctic talon]

Computer Science™️

or software engineering yeah

computer engineering does hardware stuff

[bold veldt]

id do hardware stuff

[arctic talon]

Oh

[bold veldt]

just right now i cant

[arctic talon]

I c

[crystal forum]

if you hate electrical you wont enjoy it

[bold veldt]

im getting into AutoTech.. no choice there

[crystal forum]

I2C

[bold veldt]

im going into Automotive.. and learning code

[dapper gyro]

Join the Army Engineer Corps, then out after 1 contract, easy experience padding.

[crystal forum]

im physics engineering i get to laugh at all the other engineers for being one trick ponies

please dont join the army

FYI

[bold veldt]

character development

[crystal forum]

army engineers are brick layers with a title they dont deserve

[bold veldt]

damn

bad history much?

[crystal forum]

same as train engineers and audio engineers

[bold veldt]

i like in the field work

thats why i wanna learn cars

[crystal forum]

go mechanical then

or be like me and get a technical degree

[bold veldt]

you put “engineering” on a title and i get bummed out.. bad experience with engineering classes

[crystal forum]

less work and more action

also dont need to deal with university bullshit

and you will actually be in demand as opposed to bachelors guy

[bold veldt]

different how

what it mean

[crystal forum]

what country are you from

it differs wildly

i could explain to you my degree but it's very specific to my country

even though it's obviously transferrable anywhere

[bold veldt]

United states

[crystal forum]

so a technical degree is to become a technician and you get to actually learn hands on experience

[dapper gyro]

I know many people from the US did military engineer. Not all engineer in the military are combat engineer.

[crystal forum]

technically i should be a technologist but nobody uses that term

[dapper gyro]

Whoever gives such statement has a lack of knowledge on what people trade is.

[crystal forum]

it's usually shorter than a bachelors

[bold veldt]

interest peaked

[crystal forum]

yes yes

[bold veldt]

si si

hands on work

fun

[crystal forum]

trust me if i went to university i would have shot myself

book work pains me

[bold veldt]

yes

thats why i had.. “issues”

all my hands on classes (and comp sci) i had 100’s

every other clas i had 40’s

[crystal forum]

that doesn't make you stupid btw! school is just stupid

[bold veldt]

yea i got that part

[crystal forum]

i think you'd really enjoy a technical degree

[bold veldt]

especially now since.. i dont think i have an education system anymore

[crystal forum]

but again i cannot help you on how to get one

[bold veldt]

no worries friend

helping me figure out my soon to be future is great😭

[crystal forum]

all i can say is technical degrees are in huge demand

[bold veldt]

i do know i plan on getting into automotive

[crystal forum]

my new boss practically begged me to join

[bold veldt]

big time

[crystal forum]

at IBM i shit you not

i only have 1 year of experience

[bold veldt]

lol?😭

some crazy demand

[crystal forum]

yeah ask anybody in the technical field

it's almost as much in demand as skilled labour

like welders and plumbers

[bold veldt]

welding is fun

im in an intro class rn

just for fun

[crystal forum]

you can throw all that shit out the window if you go to uni

all books

all useless theoretical shit you'll never use

[arctic talon]

My school in the US has hands on stuff

[bold veldt]

theory only takes you so far

[arctic talon]

For those majors tbf

[crystal forum]

@arctic talon how was thermodynamics

[arctic talon]

I am a computer science student my guy

I do math

[bold veldt]

i have a thermochem test on the 30th

[crystal forum]

my computer science friend is doing thermo

why? who tf knows

[arctic talon]

Bruh

[bold veldt]

oh yea what are my chances on dodging any math?

[arctic talon]

What

[crystal forum]

but he's in a crazy prestigious school

it's just hard on purpose

[arctic talon]

Oh wait

Is he getting into

Super computer or quantum stuff

If he is that makes sense ig

[crystal forum]

no just a bachelors

general stuff

it's just a ridiculous school

[arctic talon]

Oh

Bruh

[crystal forum]

he does MIT exams as practise

[arctic talon]

I had to take a high level physics class

But nothing like that

[crystal forum]

you'll need to learn shit

there's no avoiding derivatives

but that's because a technical degree isn't a bum

[bold veldt]

sigh😔

[crystal forum]

you're meant to talk to engineers and understand them

[bold veldt]

math is the one single academic thing i struggle with

[crystal forum]

yep same

[bold veldt]

besides just doing the work

[crystal forum]

i only barely managed to slip by

[bold veldt]

i love writing

as a side thing

[arctic talon]

Wtf is with fan art giving tau red hair

[bold veldt]

teehee..?

[arctic talon]

Is it because it contrasts with blue + their eyes are red lol

Is that why

I don’t think I’ve ever read any lore about tau with red hair

Actually wait

[bold veldt]

official art?

[arctic talon]

No shadowsun does have red hair

I forgot

[crystal forum]

anyways yeah if you have any reason to avoid US university debt then please consider it

[bold veldt]

will do

thank you once again friends

your infinite wisdoms is greatly appreciated

[crystal forum]

i dont have much wisdom i'm just one of the handful of people here who isn't still a student or dilara apparently

but dilara is an architect which is blasphemy upon the sciences

still a technical degree tho

[vagrant fox]

Technical school sucks don't do it become a philosopher

One teacher ruined math for me so all technical schools must burn

[crystal forum]

my math teacher was also super wacky

he was like this phd guy in math

he coded in machine language for fun

way overqualified for a technical school

he tried teaching us to do math the way mathematicians do it, so super concept oriented

which ended up just confusing us all

[vagrant fox]

My teacher just bullied people, he would ask you if you were stupid if you got questions wrong

[crystal forum]

that's so much worse

[vagrant fox]

Like 12 people dropped out

[crystal forum]

i held my ground against a professor for doing that to me once

well you know held my ground in the most passive way possible

since im a pussy

[versed ledge]

That's character building, you'll be fine

[crystal forum]

told him i didn't appreciate being talked to that way

i should have told him to get the stick out of his ass

[bold veldt]

i feel like id find him funnyu

[vagrant fox]

Well I just decided to not care about math anymore

[bold veldt]

unless he bullied kids actually trying to learn

[crystal forum]

i've had to metaphorically suck teacher cock enough times just to get past college

im tired of it

[bold veldt]

what expectations should i have for school out of HS

[crystal forum]

i dont know you, it depends on the person

but it sucked for me

[arctic talon]

College is a lot harder

Lol

Unless you’re going into shit like business

[vagrant fox]

Didn't matter, he'd call you out in front of the whole class, make you put your example up for everyone to see, then talk to you as if you were a toddler adding 2+2 while walk you through it

[crystal forum]

some people love university

[arctic talon]

Uni is both great and bad tbh

Burnout is brutal

[crystal forum]

but that's usually after the bachelors

bachelors are just stupid hard for no reason

[arctic talon]

Professors lay on the work

Badly

My recent semesters have all been hellish lol

[crystal forum]

i know happier masters and post doc people

[vagrant fox]

To weed out the cowards

[crystal forum]

because they do what they love

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-burning-hell-pain-gif-17379863

This is me rn tbh

Only thing keeping me going is that it’s going to get easier

[crystal forum]

alcoholism

i love arguing with my business student cousin

[vagrant fox]

I should redo my school stuff and get through a bachelors, better late than never

[crystal forum]

he starts talking about vague physics stuff and im like what the fuck do you know about physics

[arctic talon]

Idk maybe he took a course

[crystal forum]

he didnt

[arctic talon]

Do business students even need any science classes

[crystal forum]

he just watched youtube videos

[arctic talon]

They only need basic math

[arctic talon]

Bruh

[crystal forum]

yeah it's funny

[arctic talon]

Genuinely i took a business class as an elective

Holy shit

No the stereotype is real

[crystal forum]

yeah

[arctic talon]

I thought it wasn’t

[crystal forum]

alcoholism

[arctic talon]

But no it’s real

[winter vessel]

so basically

[arctic talon]

Lol

[arctic talon]

Yes

[vagrant fox]

Business majors have no soul

[crystal forum]

and they will make more money than you

[arctic talon]

No they won’t

Because I’ll peel their skin off

Smh

[crystal forum]

lol

[winter vessel]

My sister's on track as an English Major at her Uni

[arctic talon]

Okay genuine question

English major courses are hard

But like wtf do they learn in them

[bold veldt]

writing?

[arctic talon]

I know they’re hard because I had a look at the course materials

[bold veldt]

do i need an english major to become a writer tho

[arctic talon]

I mean I guess? Yeah

[crystal forum]

i think how to dissect literature and study what makes it good

[arctic talon]

But it’s a lot of analysis

Yeah

[winter vessel]

communication, writing skills, analysis of certain literature

[crystal forum]

like english class isn't about how to write it's about how to read

[winter vessel]

Hell, my success in language arts is owed to my sister

[vagrant fox]

It's a lot of comprehension and analysis innit

[crystal forum]

writers are so bad at grammar

can i just say that

[winter vessel]

well as a bias to my sister, she is an exception

[raven stone]

…I should be sleeping but I am thinking myself into rage mode.
Someone please yell at me to go to sleep.

[crystal forum]

play darktide

[vagrant fox]

English grammar makes little sense, why can't it be sensible like German

[raven stone]

Ok that did lighten my mood.

[winter vessel]

She loved reading old stories growing up. Lord of The Flies. Animal Farm, Of Mice an Men

[arctic talon]

Go to sleep or else I’ll crawl out your router at night and turn on all the lights at once

[bold veldt]

[crystal forum]

[crystal forum]

jokes aside i read mice and men in highschool and i cried

[bold veldt]

pierce brown knows how to hurt you

[winter vessel]

She never really read much Sci Fi novels. i'll suggest it

[bold veldt]

red rising and Gaunts ghosts are the only two book series to make books that made me tear up

[crystal forum]

can i suggest a few

[vagrant fox]

German is mostly sensible, these days I just do English by vibe unless it's important

[winter vessel]

shoot

[crystal forum]

sigsen you're a mystery

[crystal forum]

[crystal forum]

[bold veldt]

ive read fahrenheit

[crystal forum]

apparently im in the minority

[bold veldt]

1984 is on my non40k list

[winter vessel]

What else is there...I think she tried reading Catcher in the Rye, but i can't confirm when.

[crystal forum]

1984 has ridiculously good worldbuilding for a 1940's book

it's not the point of the book but the world is all fleshed out

[vagrant fox]

I tried to force my English teacher to introduce some classics but she only accepted Poe
English 3rd language ass country

[vagrant fox]

Hitchhiker is very good I also recommend

[crystal forum]

That depends on what you'd like

Would you rather be cunning in sneaky or would you rather be loud or explosive

Either way that still orks for you
