Am I supposed to dress formally (suit+tie) for my college enrollment or does it not matter? Keeping cultural differences with EUland aside, I never wore a suit and tie to any college/uni function. The times I did wear a suit during undergrad, it was never for an uni occasion. During out thesis presentation and other 3rd/4th year presentations we always wore smart clothing. Some guys went full suit, others just shirt and tie with smart pants. Enrollment guys were rocking slops and shorts but that's Cape Town where there's a joke about white people not owning pants  . I've never heard of formal enrollment though. It's just scramble to get your courses down on paper and deans signature then peace out of there. Thesis presentation is a pretty big deal though, at least in denmark I see people dressing up for that much more then for first day. In england it's totally different though, so many posh self indulgent uni's which demand suit and tie for every meal lol The first 3 days of uni for me were basically just a massive party, where the assigned tutors plied you with beer and gave a tour of the grounds and buildings.
Haha yea that's what it was like for us. We had 2 weeks prior to the opening which was just two massive party weeks. First week was the res party week then second week was the university party week where we actually did a registration and orientation at the same time so there was no single enrollment day for us as first years. Only in later years did I have to go do it myself which was kind of cool. Think that was mainly because of it being Engineering which baby you pretty hard at the start lol. Also coastal cities tend to be more lax than inland from my experience. England as you said is prob different though. Got to make sure everyone is as miserable as the weather :D
We also had some practice type presentations that were pretty serious as a warmup for the thesis ones that guys dressed up. I'll never forget it because my partner left me hanging that night because his mom had to be rushed to the hospital which I only found out like an hour after our slot was meant to be. The ladies doing the marking were really nice about it though!

Playing the PSP Tactics Ogre next now that FFT is done. Not sure of my expectations...

Yup, had dreams about Mad Max. That movie hit all the right spots. Anyone know if the game is any good?

If you didn't like FFT's first chapter's difficulty, you're gonna hurt. A lot.
Quick tips: someone having a shield equipped has a high chance to block the attack altogether if you attack from the front, whatever your hit% is. They never block from the rear.
Characters also automatically retaliate to a melee attack if they have a melee weapon equipped, unless you attack from the back, again. This means you can't just surround a boss character and just keep hitting him to down him before his turn comes, you'd easily suicide your chumps just attacking him. Magic and ranged weapons become precious.
Status effects are based on DEX, not INT. This is mostly important for support casters (Witches, Swordmasters) as opposed to nukers, especially since charm/sleep/stun magic is so powerful (it's also affected by how you face the enemy). Actually, since witches don't really have access to damaging spells, you're better off leveling them as archer if you don't plan on making them Sirens later, since Archers have the highest DEX growth amongst female classes.
Don't overlevel. Plot battles sometimes use fixed levels, sometimes your party's average level. Some enemies use special classes with better growths than yours, and you sometimes have to protect NPCs who are always of fixed levels, and will get oneshot without trouble.

A question for you gym people out there. I recently got a mass builder(friday) and just wondering if it matters what type of milk I use(Low fat vs Full cream). Oh the brand is Optimum Nutrition if that matters.
ps: Does scip never close league client? I thought there's massive memory leak issues with it if you don't.

ON is a solid reputable brand. Take the full cream (assuming equivalent to whole/vitamin D milk here) since you're trying to gain. More calories and all the good stuff stays in :D And it tastes better.

It's not hard per se. It's more due to the RNG aspect and the UI that I had issues with FFT. But I can definitely see this being an issue for Tactics Ogre.

Ok if I become fat it's your fault! I'm only planning on taking it for a month or so then trying to just get into the whole eating more. Think it was you that suggest ON way back so I did some digging and tried out their whey which I liked a lot hence grabbing the mass stuff from them too. So far it tastes quite nice but dam is it a lot to take down. Only doing 1 cup so far(I just increased to 1.5) and it's heavy lol
Full cream here is just normal milk so guess that's the same as whole milk over by you.

I have been betrayed by the side of the road taco stand
They gave me food poisoning of the projectile vomit variety.

From my experience it can be hard to dissolve mass gainer in whole milk (especially when cold). I used 2% usually. Geez, I need to start working out again. And if you really want to shovel down calories, add a shot of olive oil.

Just as long as you blame me for when you're 'miring yourself in a few months.
I use the Performance Whey, no experience with the Mass Gainer when it comes to mixing/consistency.

Technically it's not too much RNG if you see it as different shades of "taking risk". If you have 30% chance of hitting the boss from the front, assuming he doesn't outright block, and you hope for a good damage roll to finish him before he retaliates and one-shots Denim, it's "are you suicidal/do you go for big plays?" rather than being RNG.

I feel like I did all my college enrollment online.... or perhaps I just forget... frosh week was a blast tho!
Wish I didn't miss the fat topic but moonbears post was pretty good.

IMO throwing up is even worse than diarrhea. You have my sympathies.

Diarrhea at least you can sit reading something. Throwing up when you can barely move is just the worse. I find sitting on the cold hard bathroom floor while contemplating life as my head rests gently on the toilet bowl is just not the place I want to be.

Both at once is the worst.

I've decided that I'd rather be hung over than sick. Hangovers suck, but you'll be better in a day at most. When sick, you just kinda have to muddle through on lots of liquids and Dayquil.

Hangovers should be over in a few hours at worst if you properly handle yourself when you get up.

As I learned from this past weekend, recovery times are increasing as I get older.
