I know some people were criticizing Brawlhalla last night (and I'm not saying those criticisms are unwarranted), but I was having fun playing it. I'll probably stream some more of it tonight. | ||

It's pretty tough but I think I'll make it. I do like how we can combine it with the Signals course where you learn all continuous repeating signals can be summed by a series of sinusoids. Also Euler is a bamf. edit: In the end engineering just boils down to linearize the shit out of everything as much as you can whilst staying within the boundaries of the accuracy you need. | ||

Fortunately, despite neglecting my summer reading assignments I was able to bs two book reviews on day 1 with no prep using The Hobbit which I had read like 8 years prior and Beowulf which I really made up just using clues from stuff around the classroom and what I had heard which wasn't much. That was a stressful period. This really speaks to how terrible English education is, when people can get high marks without without even reading the book. Pretty much happens everywhere zz. And people wonder why English isn't a respected field of study ~_~ | ||

But after learning real proofs in Abstract, coming back to Geometry with that understanding helped a lot. Case in point - messing up the timing of my Daisy Pusher is the difference between me getting a combo or you getting a combo. False. At least for SG, you do not have to reset to neutral for dragon punch motion. I just go forward-down-forward. Not the same thing at all. You blind supering is not the same thing as trying to hit a 1-2 frame timing in order to continue a combo. | ||

I'm just amazed I didn't get relegated to poop-tier instantly in his mind. I was more getting at how it felt incredibly subjective whether you got a good grade or not. Some people you can tell either don't get the concept or are just terrible at correct grammar etc which will affect your grade appropriately. But for example, there was a girl in my class who I knew was bright but I remember in a particular class she brought up a point and the teacher was like "ehhhhh, yeah no that's dumb" which I didn't really agree with. I raise my hand and rephrase what she said and he's all "exactly, this guy gets it" and I'm like wth and she's glaring at me. I cleared it up with her and it was cool but that's pretty douchey on the instructor's part. All this stuff reminds me of personality types, you guys really neeed to do some reading on it it's fascinating (to me  ) | ||

Just make enough assumptions until it becomes easy to solve! :D I think half the marks for my mass transfer course was just drawing the system and making reasonable assumptions. I hated Euler and Laplace. Only until my brother(Comp eng) told me how much his stuff overlapped and made sense due to them did I kind of appreciate it. It still has zero application to my field :<. | ||

Criticisms were nullified after your cat made an appearance on stream. In all seriousness, I think it's much better for you to play something that you enjoy instead of catering to the audience. People are much more enjoyable to watch if they're having a good time. Basically I'm telling you to put less stock in what the audience thinks and do what you think is fun. | ||

The issue is understanding what's fundamentally going on so you can adjust this system to match whatever is going on in reality. Other times the process to get the answer is the answer itself. I don't know. Maybe our whole education system just needs to change. When I told my folks that you guys in the States do standardized testing since Junior school they wouldn't believe me. Had to go bring proof to convince them. Crazy stuff Next time show them this: | ||

The problem people have about standardized testing is because standardized testing is always based on curves, and because of the nature of how percentiles, and natural curves work. Majority of people feel screwed over by standardized tests. | ||
