Man if I was paying 1700 in just rent I would literally not be able to eat. Or drive anywhere other than work. Is that normal pricing where you're at?

[muggiwhplar]

$1700 for a 1 bedroom is about how much it costs for a high rise 1BR downtown where I live. Downtown's usually the most expensive region in a city so $1700 is the standard rate for a top-tier apartment here. I'm paying $1100/mo for a 1 bedroom + study in an old apt built in the early 70s with no dishwasher or garbage disposal... but it's downtown so it's a pretty solid deal IMO. If I were to upgrade to one of the apartments built within the last 10 years down the street, I'd be looking at a minimum of $1600. I don't really think it's worth it for me to pay an extra $500/mo just for a dishwasher, garbage disposal, and newer aesthetics

idk know where you guys are living but in Toronto a highrise 1br is 2500-3500 depending how nice it is

i live for free at the airport

Well the very most expensive high rise 1 bedrooms start at $2400 at the newest, fanciest location, but all the others are starting between $1700-2000. Also it looks like 1 Canadian dollar = .77 USD so that would partially explain why things seem more expensive in Toronto

Feels sacrilegious to take a job from the WoW people while you still post on a RS fansite.

I still have a 4.0 GPA... gotta keep it! I'm gonna cry when it drops :(. I'm hoping I can keep a 4.0 GPA through my Associate's and maybe, just maybe, through my Bachelor's but I think that's unlikely (flashbacks to biology and chemistry). On a resume, would I put 4.0 GPA under my Associate's and 3.X under my Bachelor's?

I'm working on a helpful skeleton miner. I rigged the skeleton model using the player armature so he can use player armor/weapons:

He'll give you a piece of food if you talk to him and ask. (Unlimited, I think...) He'll just mine some rocks, smelt then, smith some items, and repeat.

The purpose is to allow the player to mine rocks quicker (unlike in RuneScape, as long as you're mining the rock when it's depleted, you'll get a resource), He'll have like level 10 mining and be carrying an iron pickaxe so he'll deplete the rocks in 3-4 hits if my math is right. You can also attack him but he'll be pretty tough and you won't have any cool tricks to counter him like with the boss ghost foreman.

[RpgGamer]

I'd say if your GPA is higher than 3.5, it's worth putting on there. Otherwise, the degree speaks for itself. Mine was 3.41 and things worked out ok

 

Also: Blizzard is doing some weird shake ups. Like they took Ben Brode off of Hearthstone. Not a great environment from the looks of it

[Estonian dude]

Who the hell needs to buy an IELTS certificate? It ain't that hard to get legally and if you can't get it you have bigger issues in life.

 

Also, I don't even earn 1700 bucks a month. Yet I imagine I have as much or more disposable income as any of you. Nearly all of my income is disposable, as rent and board are provided by employer :P

[RpgGamer]

Super stoked for the communist revolution to finally hit American shores

Salary differences don't generally account for exhange rate disparity so I doubt that carries over into rent too much

[Bows]

Yearly check-in! What's happenin' OT?

Samesies! Except I get paid slightly more and can't really spend it because of school.

[Dax]

I pay 680 a month and I get to own the house at the end. I already hate the city, but jeez, the rent prices are reason enough to stay away.

[Goonstalf]

but you know what they say about the city

[Estonian dude]

It sucks.

I think my ideal town would be a uni town with 100-150k inhabitants, meaning not too big and clustered, yet big enough to have everything.

Hey, that's where I live

I got to call 911 this morning for a customer at Walmart. I saw her on the ground with her husband. She is 85 years old. I asked her what happened. She said that her hip and ankle gave out and she fell. She said to call for a ambulance. I told the dispatcher what happened and where we were. I went inside to tell a manager what happened. They came outside and I went back to work. Have to push in buggies still.

[RpgGamer]

A Wal-Mart customer? Should have called her an uber. Poor lady is like 300k in debt now.

re: living

 

Between my brother and me we make ~$2,900 but we have over $2,400 in expenses... Our general living expenses are pretty cheap (only $1600 on average for rent + utilities + phone + internet + food + misc [Netflix, etc]).

 

If my car insurance weren't so expensive ($300/month, thanks new driver penalty) plus payment & gas ($250-$300), and there were no doctor bills ($200/month, thanks America), we'd be doing a lot better. In fact, we'd be doing /great/. We'd have nearly $1,000 a month left over. Ugh.

I added the first bit of AI:

 

 

He mines until his inventory is full then I get an error :(.

 

It uses my behavior tree library, BMASHINA:

local Tree = BTreeBuilder.Node() {
    Mashina.Step {
        Mashina.Navigation.WalkToTile {
            i = 16,
            j = 21
        },

        Mashina.Peep.Wait,

        Mashina.Repeat {
            Mashina.Step {
                Mashina.Skills.Mining.MineNearbyRock {
                    resource = "CopperOre"
                },

                Mashina.Peep.Wait,

                Mashina.Skills.Mining.MineNearbyRock {
                    resource = "TinOre"
                },

                Mashina.Peep.Wait
            }
        }
    }
}

The goblin is just the basic goblin peep but I override his AI in the GameDB:

 

 

M["Goblin"] = ItsyScape.Resource.MapObject.Unique()
do
    ItsyScape.Meta.MapObjectLocation {
        PositionX = 16.5 * 2,
        PositionY = 3,
        PositionZ = 21.5 * 2,
        Name = "Goblin",
        Map = M._MAP,
        Resource = M["Goblin"]
    }

    ItsyScape.Meta.PeepMapObject {
        Peep = ItsyScape.Resource.Peep "Goblin_Base",
        MapObject = M["Goblin"]
    }

    ItsyScape.Meta.PeepMashinaState {
        State = "mine",
        Tree = "Resources/Game/Maps/IsabelleIsland_AbandonedMine/Scripts/Miner_MineLogic.lua",
        Default = 1,
        Resource = M["Goblin"]
    }

    ItsyScape.Meta.PeepEquipmentItem {
        Item = ItsyScape.Resource.Item "BronzePickaxe",
        Count = 1,
        Resource = M["Goblin"]
    }
end

 

Technically I could make dragons and trees could mine things, but that's just unnatural '-'.

A lot of people would be doing great if someone else paid all their expenses

[Goonstalf]

i have to pay my wife and sons expenses, buncha moochers

[Noxx]

I started watching Stranger Things last night. Can't remember what time i started, but before i knew it it was like 10am and i binge watched the entire first season. Was actually really good. 

[RpgGamer]

First season is incredible. Second season is good, but don't expect to be as good as the first season.

[Goonstalf]

or the third season
