Also, I can related. For all of 1st year and most of 2nd year, I was rather focused on getting that 90%. Then I realized I was actually missing out on much of the college experience, so I traded my quest for 90% for a solid 70% and a life outside of books. I don't regret it.

CourValant posted:Don't you need at least a 70% to pass? For us we needed a 50% to pass each class. I was a solid ~55% student until third year and pulled it up to ~65% which is what I needed to enter the honors program where I got 1st class honors. There's a difference between 'good' work, and work that's 'good enough'. If you're doing anything more than 'good enough' you're wasting your time. It might be that you want to impress a professor to get into their grad program or whatever, and then you need a higher grade but again, working any harder than is needed to achieve that goal is just wasted effort. That said, I waste way too much time getting things perfect when they don't need to be, so eh.

I'm gonna have to put an official halt to this for now, can't even keep my own word re: updates and communication. I might run another much shorter game or get back to this one but I don't know for sure. Thanks for following along and sorry for me being a flaky idiot!

It was pretty cool. Can you give us the back plot? Also what was under our helmet? Any meatbrain at all?

Thank you!! You did a great job and I'll be sure to follow your next endeavor into CYOA

I enjoyed this, I hope real life will allow you the time to even consider either coming back to this or running a different cyoa in the future.

A CYOA starring a nerd who tries to download a secret black facility program to give him spec ops skills but instead accidentally installs an uploaded specs ops personality in his brain would be great. But run the game on two different forums, letting two bags of squirrels try and figure out what the gently caress is going on.

I'd be down for 'ing votes in the threads to keep them bumped if this actually happened somewhere.

I've been working up what I thought was a novel and interesting setting only to get beat to the punch by a game on Steam! With that said I've got a lull atm and seeing as I didn't do a tell all setting/exposition dump this character is still viable. I'll be back to my regularly irregular updates in about a week or so (though you know how that goes ).

A teaser:Have Blue posted:Minivote closed. D) No wins. Crazycryodude posted:Well, poo poo, guess we kinda have to let him take his readings. "Not to worry, their secrets are safe with me! I do believe that counts as 'informed consent'. Let's begin." The man stands and claps his hands, the room lights brightening then dimming to little more than a sullen glow. He digs in a drawer for a small plaque and places it on the front desk. It reads "BUSY". "If you'd follow me, please. Oh I'm so excited, and I'm sure you'd rather be rid of those nasty bugs crawling around inside you." He gives another chuckle, then turns to a recessed door behind the desk. It slides smoothly open and he walks through, vanishing. You cautiously walk over and peer inside: The back of the man's mask(?) glints at you in the suddenly harsh light of the stairwell. "Come! Come! There is much to do!" Resigned, you follow him down to another door and find yourself in an airlock(?). A deep hum surrounds you. You wait awkwardly, the hum rising to a whine- Everything goes white. There is light, and it burns. There is darkness, and labored breathing. Yours? Yours. "All clean! Wouldn't want anything foul getting in.. or out for that matter." More laughter covers the sound of the door at the other end opening: Blank halls, more harsh light. It's cold down here, the kind of cold that slows cells and speeds CPUs. You're lead to an examination room(?). Instruments and monitors crowd around a thick slab in the middle. Your host stops and basks in their glow, breathing deep. "Now if you'll just lie down and relax, we'll get started." Have Blue fucked around with this message at 05:49 on May 12, 2018 |
