I prefer Xbox over PS4. I don't like the PS4's UI or the structure of its home page. I've never liked the Dualshock controller, though the PS4's is finally tolerable (even if the battery sucks). I basically only own one to play the few PS4 exclusives I want and the Vita crossbuy games.

Xbox's Game Pass, Play Anywhere program, backwards compatibility with X360/Xbox games, modernized UI, XB1X HDR 4K features, second HDMI port for using my cablebox through One Guide, Kinect for voice commands and the fact that most of my friends are on Xbox all keep me pretty tied to the console. Plus the Elite controller is the best controller ever.

Ah, it would be cool if I had one.
I am contempt with my PS4 Pro though.

Sometimes I wonder if Vergeben really had anything after his E3 leak or if he just got lucky.

He was the leading advocate for Kencineroar, so his sources were pretty damn good for the base roster, at least.

I'm in the same boat regarding the PS4; I only got one for a few select games (P5, KH3, SotC). Sony just doesn't make games I care about that much anymore, and I can play indies on PC (with modding) or on my Switch (makes them portable).

True, but even then, I've gotta wonder. I know that personally, I had been predicting incineroar from the beginning since he was shaping up to be Ash's main pokemon like greninja was in the XY anime.

But there's better things to discuss than the validity of already confirmed leaks.

I'm just convinced the guy who supplied him said deuces after the November Direct and Joker naenae'd him from continuing this path.

And then his credibility turned into the same credibility that Corey Feldman's Angelic 2 The Core album has as music, which is... Well, none.

This is canon, y'know.

Um, forgive me, but what does "naenae'd" mean?

I ****ing hate college. I hate it. I hate it with every fiber of my being. It’s nothing but a black hole that exists to do nothing but suck out all your happiness and all your money until you’re a broken husk.

I just failed a group project. I was unable to contribute much because they gave me the hardest question to answer for it that even they couldn’t come up with ways to tackle. So they told the professor. All that late night research is now doubbley fruitless because now I don’t even get any credit for it.

And after that, along with every other bull**** problem I’ve had with the end of this semester. All the over cramming to pass test, all the script writing. Taking tests early. Everything to have that happen I just broke down. I’m dealing with a work lode so light that most other students would wish for it, and I can’t take it to the point where what many students consider standard caused me to break down crying. Not only that, I hit myself. In the head. Hard. Repeatedly. First time I’ve done that sense I was very small. I’m just tired of it. I want it to stop. I want out of this system. But I can’t do that. I have to suffer through till the end so I can get my money’s worth and get a stupid piece of paper that everyone has just decided you need to be successful in life, pretty much just so that people can make money off of the process of getting it.

The professors aren’t helpful. They don’t want you to succeed, they want you to fail. Because the more you fail the more courses you have to take and the more money you pay the university. Not just on courses but on housing and meal plans too. It’s sick and disgusting.

My children will have a better life than this. They will not go into this abomination of an educational system unless it gets improved. Grade school was hell for me. And I thought it would get better in college. But no, it’s worse. The Fire is hotter and I’m isolated from my support system.

This is TPC requesting Hinata Hinata for backup. I've got an emotionally distraught user who needs help.

I don't really know what to tell you here. College experiences differ between people, and I'd chalk up your negative experiences more towards the unfortunate circumstances going on in your life right now rather than everyone else being out to get you. Yes, people suck (like those "partners of your's), but not all of them do. While attributing failure to an external locus of control is better for our ego, attributing it to an internal locus of control allows for reflection and growth.

Furthermore, College isn't always going to be the saving grace that some think it will be. For me it definitely was, but that's because I went into it with an open mindset and worked my ass off to make the most of it. And even then, I'm struggling to gain my footing in some regards after an entire year.

Hitting yourself won't get you anywhere. I used to do that a lot myself when I'd break down and it did nothing but hurt. I didn't feel better. I didn't get any closer to fixing my problems. I just sat there with a hurt head and a worse mood to go along with it.

Maybe talking to your professor would improve things? Tell him your side of the story since it seems like your "partners" didn't do that. At the end of the day professors are people too, and they're not evil, money-grubbing demons. Those are the administrators of colleges.

In terms of being isolated from your support system, have you made an effort to establish one on your college campus? Do you see your school's counseling services (if they're available/affordable)? Do you have any friends or professors to include in that? Having a support system is extremely important, but you can't expect one to just form around you. It takes time and effort.

Also, I would personally say that you shouldn't let your experiences impact those of your children. While similar in many ways, children are their own people, and have their own experiences. There's a lot to gain from a public education, so I'd keep an open mind when it comes to that.

The worst part about this whole deal? You can't do ****. You can't change ****. The system will just beat the crap out of you.

Again

And again

And again

So what can you do?

The only thing you can do.

Put your nose to the grindstone and just push through. Grind through all the bull****. Study, work hard, all that bull**** your grade school counselor told you.

Because if you can't better the godawful, money-driven, hellhole of an education system we have right now, the only thing you really can better is yourself.

I’m really sorry that you’re having such a rough time, what you’re going through sounds awful and I’m sure others feel the same. We’re not psychiatrists though, we’re a bunch of nerds talking about video games and weeb ****, and very few of us are equipped to even understand what you’re going through, much less help in any way. Please don’t take the likes to mean we’re happy that you’re hurting.

Take care, stay safe

Ain't no need for me to be backup, you and faygo said all there is to be said.

There ain't really anything we can do to improve something like college. It is what it is, and people will naturally have different experiences when it comes to it, as is the same with all levels of school.

The only advice to offer is just power through and try to find support where you can, because really, the only other option is dropping out entirely.

There is only so much we can do. As someone enduring a whole lot of **** myself, I don't post about it here because there's nothing these guys can do besides be my buds and speculate about this game with me. The like was to support you because I didn't know what to say due to my lack of experience with your situation. As -crump- -crump- said we can only do so much, please don't downplay our efforts to help you like this because it just repels further assistance.

Ugh, I’m an idiot. Like I said, I’m sure as hell not equipped to help anyone deal with their problems, I just wanted to say... something, I guess. Need to put a lid on that

If we're talking about college reform, the only way to do so is be outstanding enough to take an active role in making change. That means being on your school's Student Government (if one exists), taking leadership in clubs focused on issues you want to see change in, networking and getting into a position to meet and seriously talk administrative staff for your school, etc.

Nobody's ever accomplished anything by just complaining about it.
