My mentor teacher seems great, the school seems great, I met with the evaluator and they seem great. Overall, I have nothing to complain about as of yet however for some reason this period of time leading up to student teaching has been awful mentally.

I’m just not really looking forward to “working” full time for 3 months basically unpaid. Feeling senses of envy looking at other degrees that wouldn’t have required something like this. Feeling low on motivation and optimism about the whole thing. I keep trying to tell myself that I’ll make the best of it but that pride quickly fades into dread. Anyone gone through this/ have any tips?

I’m 22 and ever since I’ve been 20 I’ve had stomach problems galore. This mixed with the job market, housing market, and overall economy… man like cmon. Give me a break. When I talk to my gen X parents they tell me they never had any health issues that genuinely affected their day to day life until their 30’s. My girlfriend (who’s the same age as me) also has ongoing health issues with severe migraines and joint issues.

Are we unlucky or is this a norm?

Echo Sage isn’t as powerful as they once were however, they still feel unfair to play against in certain modifiers and with specific RNG aspects.

(My opinion as someone who’s been playing since the beginning) Here are some changes I think they should make to Echo Sage

1. Echo destroying buildings (goblins loot & dummies included) no longer counts towards the Echo leveling up but instead destroys the building and resets the Echo’s ability charge to half.

2. If an enemy the Echo is triggered towards gets eliminated whilst the Echo was mid animation, the Echo no longer zips to a different target and instead stays in place of where the enemy was and recharges.

3. Echo (and Xbow) now start with half charge instead of full charge with the SuperStar Ring.

4. Echo’s ability charge rate maxes out on the third Star level and does not increase when the Echo reaches four stars.

Just my opinions and I understand there are many other problems in this version of the game too, these are just my opinions regarding Echo. I’ve placed Diamond every season since season 1 of Merge and I plat SE.

Visiting for 4 days from out of state, I’m worried of a car break in. I don’t have anything of value visible except an upgraded stereo (I have a touch screen) and there are subs but you can’t see them from outside the car at all. Nothing else visible.

Am I paranoid? If not then what else can I do to avoid it?

I’ve farmed about 8,000 of them so far and if you’re trying to get a bunch, here’s what I’ve been doing (on The Island) that yields about 500 every 20-30 minutes:

Using a Desmodus seems to be the best mount since you can fly in all directions and they do a good amount of damage. They can also fly close enough to the water to kill them while they swim. After they swim into the ocean for a little bit they turn around eventually. They also only swim directly under the surface of the water so you can make their silhouette out and still hit them.

Use a Gene Scanner set to the Kairuku and it’ll point you in the direction of them. They seem to spawn in groups of 2-5, if you see one there’s a good chance more are around. They also make an almost “echo” scream when they die so don’t let it make you think there’s one under your feet, sometimes there isn’t, move on quickly. They can also get stuck in peoples bases and in behemoth walls where you can’t hit them.

They continue to spawn in the general area of you so you don’t need to travel the whole map. The best area of the map seems to be the West beaches of The Island anywhere from Lat. 40 Long. 9 - Lat. 80 Long. 9. I slowly hover back and forth between these points with the Gene scanner and look down onto them checking for their particle trails. You can see their particle trails from a long ways away so being high to check for a group of them is helpful.

Keep your mounts inventory low so the popsicles spawn into your mounts inventory on kill. I’ve also seen a decent amount of them spawn around Lat. 73 Long. 87. They Do Not seem to spawn nearly at all in the snowy parts like you may think.

TL;DR: Desmodus best mount, fly high to check for particle trails, on the island fly along the left side beach back and forth since more spawn, they swim directly under the surface so if they go in the water you can hover above them to kill them while they swim. Use a gene scanner set to Kairuku if you have one.

I have about 80 hours on cat now and I’m still confused on the mechanics of the tether.

What I want to know: When does an Ally fall off when you grab them without them willingly pressing a button? Or what actions do they do that make them fall off?

(Sometimes I pick up DVA and they bomb and the bomb just detaches… and other times it seems to hang on no matter what, same with Cassidy Ulting, does them touching a building make them fall????)
(Also, I do these plays with VC and I get yelled at when I “dropped them” when I didn’t do anything on purpose)

What else I want to know: When does an enemy fall off your tether when you ult them?

(Sometimes they just just ripped off so quickly I don’t understand)

Thank you, and any other tether related tips I’d love to hear

Do we know what’s up with the warehouse vs. where he streams from? I remember him streaming from the warehouse for a while so I figured he moved there but now he streams from his house.

I can never tune in early in his streams and am even unsure if he still does discord media. I joined his discord and the media section doesn’t look like it has any clips? I also couldn’t find rules anywhere on how it works and how often he does them and what not.

Any info is appreciated!

So after taming or raising a Dino, it has an age shown. A tamed Dino will be anywhere from 2-8 years old and raised Dino’s will start at 2 years old once raised. When the Dino’s are between the ages of 2-6 you have to craft them diapers or else they’ll leave a mess everywhere and their feces will stain any building platforms they were on; they’ll also always go towards the nearest piece of Tek and you’ll have to constantly pry them away from it to prevent the Tek from breaking.

Between ages 10-17 whether you’re riding them or they are following you, they have a 30% chance of not listening to you and walking wherever they want to. Ages 18-20 they have a 50/50 odds of one of two things. Either refusing to leave the confines of your base or leaving without saying a word (in which you’ll have to use Dino360 to go get them back because they decided to move to the swamp even after you repeatedly told them it wasn’t a good idea)

The longer you have the Dino, minor buffs and benefits come from it similar to imprint bonus (but there’s a 5% chance they get emotionally attached to you and you’ll have to build a gate around them to prevent them from constantly following you). The Dino’s may have a specific age where they are in “their prime” and during those 5-10 years their stats increase 10%, theres a 30% chance of bringing home another Dino of the opposite sex, and they have visible 6-pack abs.

Between the ages of 45-60 they’ll go into a midlife crisis where their health stat declines 20% but theres a 20% chance a motorboat spawns in their inventory. They can also get too old (like 80 years) and their stamina depletes faster and they go to the bathroom more often and their color grays, on mammals their ears and nose get huge and for the Dino’s that walk on two feet, a physical cane spawns in to help them walk. But having an old one in the pack gives the pack a “wisdom” buff where it increases their stats a little, except for a few of the pack members who resent the boomer Dino’s old ways of thinking and will stay stationary when within’ 20 meters of the geezer Dino.

Then between the ages of 100-110 years old they keel over and perish and leave behind a legally binding will for all they own (11 keratin and 21 spoiled meat). Since it’s hard to watch your loved ones grow old, you also have the option to pay a retirement home 1000 obsidian to take in your old Dino except every 10-30 irl minutes you’ll get a ginormous ping to their location because the Dino doesn’t wanna be there anymore.

I need 170k hide so I thought I’d ask to see if anyone has any good tips. I have a carchar and wyvern

I’ll go first. I finally went back to an extinction server to find my lost pyromane and found him, I tamed an oviraptor for the first time after getting lucky and finding 3 bronto eggs next to each other to tame one with. I farmed 82k raw metal which was going to be enough to build enough saddles for my upcoming boss army and structures for an improved base. And last but not least, I farmed 72 basilo blubber. So glad that time went to waste. They should’ve given us 4x everything for wasting so many people’s time.

I’ve been posting about 3-4 times a week on a TikTok account I made for posting funny Minecraft skits. I spend hours building really well made backdrops and making everything perfect and well made and I GENUINELY find the videos funny but they aren’t doing well. I have about 1400 followers after one of them got 4 million views and 600k likes but every other video only gets 200-400 views with hardly any likes while they are all equally or even arguably better and more well made.

Has anyone gotten through this phase of one video really going insane then for the next while none of them get any attention? It’s just like TikTok isn’t pushing them out because regardless of the videos views I usually get about 27% of the total views in likes. So I feel like that ratio isn’t too bad tbh but then it just stops.

What would the stats be on a good, bred, Basilisk? I was gifted an egg for helping someone and it’s level 362 but idk how Basilisks compare in damage. It only has 1100 damage as a baby and 33k health. Is this a good starting point? When it’s raised what should its levels be put into? Thank you

I have 3k hours on ASE but it’s been years and years. I have a little tiny starter base with a trike and PT but what should my next goal be?

They also aren’t super into survival games in general but they said they’d give it a chance. If I remember correctly, aren’t there official servers that have taming/breeding multipliers? Do you think this could help them stay intrigued better? Any tips I’d appreciate.

I haven’t played in 2 years since I lost probably 500 hours of progress due to being on vacation (I didn’t log into an official server and it all disappeared) and so I’m eager to get back in. Last I played there was just scorched earth and the island.

Note: I plan on doing PVE since I hear PVP can be quite frustrating
