The Letting Off Steam Thread - Page 171

A couple of weeks ago i wanted to install Battlefield 4 (bought BF3 during release and had some good casual fun with it). After downloading and installing, battlelog told me that i was banned. After a few days i decided to pursue the problem and contacted EA. After a little chat, me was told, that i had made illegal coin selling in FIFA 14 (heck, i played to game for 30 hours, 29 of them with a friend of mine. No ladder or whatsoever, online COOP!). The support guy said i have to write an email to EA and state my case. I`ve done so and now i got a mail and it says: `fuck off, your account remains banned! Thanks.`
I WANTED TO PLAY SOME BATTLEFIELD AND NOW IM TOLD THAT MY ACCOUNT IS BANNED DUE TO FIFA SHIT.. wtf
SimCity and Sims4 still work, but MEH, WHO CARES ABOUT ORIGIN WITHOUT BF... i`m so pissed.

Why not try changing the teaching system around them? I know some kids really respond well to how Math is taught and some kids just go haywire. When I started seeing math like I see poetry, like a language and really the syntax of it all makes sense up to calculus, things got so much easier for me. I'm not teacher though, so my .02 is like .0005

Anyways, its exam season over here and I'm thinking about transferring, which kinda sucks because I have so many good friends here. At the same time my ex girlfriend applied to my small liberal arts school early decision, so there's that. I don't even know if I can be any kind of mature with her running around here, I'd either fall for her immediately and get her or my grades would suffer if I don't and spend my time sulking. I'm such a wuss right now haha

Omfg fucking target told my mom that she would get 2 tvs for the cyber monday price and made them drive 100 miles to target then they say they wont accept the deal and they offered us two fucking 6 dollar sale coupons fuck them raaaaaaaaaage!!d my poor parents! They are so old and stingy with money and fuck target

I've always tried to avoid group or partner work in university because I'm of the opinion that most people are absolutely terrible to work with unless they are being paid to work with others. I've yet to be proven wrong.

All of the assignments in this required class I'm in are partner assignments (required meaning it is directly for my major). The person we are assigned to work with is random and we are stuck with all term. For the first couple assignments my partner was okay. The last assignment they put things off too long but it was recoverable even though they made a mess. This time around they are a no-show. Not answering any forms of communication, not at class, not doing commits to our repository, nothing. We have an assignment due in a day or so and they've contributed nothing (they can't drop the class either since that date has passed so I have no idea what's going on, why they've disappeared). I'm not sacrificing studying for exams to do two people's worth of work on an assignment worth 10% of the class's final exam, which is early next week. I've done a rough outline of what has to be programmed. I'll do a bit more, do the documentation and then I'll hand it in. So I guess I just get a crappy mark in this class because of luck of the draw.

I can't wait to be done school.

This is a fictional blog post written from the perspective of a depressed person.

Hello, my loyal followers, as you know it's been a rough three years for me. This year especially has been rather uneventful. To recap I did okay in school but then I started flunking it. I've been slowly losing my grip on reality and even trying to do anything.

I recently took a test and when the results came back my evaluator said I placed in the 95th percentile in sensory intelligence or some crap. I guess I'm pretty sensible. I think standards are getting lowered though because the overall intelligence of the American youth has degraded slowly due to having their life revolve around their own little world of selfies, pumpkin spice lattes, ugg boots, and social media drama.

I've been getting bored with everything I used to as you know. I tried out Hearthstone and League of Legends upon the insistence of one of my close relatives. Surprisingly even on my old computer they both run decently on the lowest settings. I don't understand the appeal for them even though I spent a good 3+ hours playing League of Legends. It doesn't appeal to me.

I've been taking a larger variety of medication each day now. *cough* I grow weaker everyday. It gets lonesome being me. *cough cough.* A part of me used to find relief from doing my homework but now I feel nothing - no incentive, no feelings, nothing. Everyday I meet people just as unfortunate as I am and even worse. They say you should surround yourself with some positive, have some balance but I can't do that. Online I feel more robust, more like myself but in real life it's a whole world of uncertainty.

I remember the first blog post I had made when I was first diagnosed with depression four years ago. It was an almost momentous occasion for me remembering how confident I felt to subdue my depression and make it my own. Now look at me, I'm nothing, I'm worthless. I'm only a shell of my former self and soon enough I'm going to be drifting into the bottom of the vast deep sea where I'll be forgotten.

There were so many things I wished to accomplish and somehow I've found a troublesome bump in the road and around my back. Maybe cancer? When am I going to get my life on track? Do I want to get my life on track? There's been a growing number of suicides since 1980 and I figure I'll be a part of the growing statistic.

I'm doing some group work tomorrow and i really don't want to let my partners down, I hate being seen as a liability. I think group work is the only time I've ever been determined to get work done so I don't let others down. My genetics are dying nooo.

I needed to let the inner steam out of me by role playing a character with some taboo themes. I feel so relieved now. Yes. so relieved. IAUAGNAUGAOGNAGGOGNAGNAAOGAB CAT NOOOO PLEASE N-

That was the key to enjoying SC2 for me when I played it. Just admitted I was too bad to stay at the higher levels and went from there. I did the tryhard thing and got to high master, but it took me playing the game 5+ hours a day every day to do it and it got to the point where I wasn't having fun anymore so I quit for a few months. When I came back I just played to enjoy myself and ended up having a much better experience.

I'm now taking that learning experience to dota 2. I'm not trying to get a high MMR, just have fun. Funnily enough, it's usually the people who take the game too seriously that ruin it for me (or more, the people that take it too seriously that I put on ignore).

In other news, my partner screwed me over yet again. Woooooooooo

They started working on our assignment this afternoon. Did a giant commit with 50 minutes to go with the entirely wrong design so I redid their entire thing in about 20 and got our thing to the point of compiling and running and then submitted it without telling them I completely redid their thing (and documented in our documentation that part of our thing was untested because of their not doing the work). If they don't have the decency to at least let me know what's going on, then I don't feel bad about ruining the bit of work they did.

Whatever. The class is done. I never have to deal with this person again. Now I just have to do the final and this nightmare of a class is over.
