Only @IceDjuro knows that.

How’s that you are active early in the morning…Don’t you have RL things to do at that time?

Edit: just realized you might have a different time zone than mine

hhyyrylainen · April 19, 2021, 8:36am

Time zones, but also corona, as I’m studying and working from home, so I can check the forums while I’m taking a break. At my university we’ve been in remote teaching mode the entire year. At this point is has been an entire year since I physically went to the university.

I’m going to try to pressure hh into making that his discord pfp now, thanks.

Scyobi_Empire · April 19, 2021, 2:40pm

Why not his Forum pfp?

blackjacksike · April 19, 2021, 3:49pm

What level are you at in university? Bac., Master or Ph.D.?

hhyyrylainen · April 19, 2021, 3:54pm

Master’s level. If all goes well, I’ll be graduating in a few months.

blackjacksike · April 19, 2021, 3:55pm

Will you do a Ph.D.?

hhyyrylainen · April 19, 2021, 4:01pm

Nope. I’ve burned out on scientific writing.

blackjacksike · April 19, 2021, 4:07pm

I guess that in a few months, the patreon will reach the first goal. Will you be the first part-time employee (or employer) of Revolutionary Game Studio?

fralegend015 · April 19, 2021, 4:11pm

are you interrogating him?

blackjacksike · April 19, 2021, 4:57pm

How is it an interrogation?

Update: hey you changed your pfp. It’s a good one too.

fralegend015 · April 19, 2021, 5:57pm

Yes, I did, but the power of the F still resides in me

hhyyrylainen · April 19, 2021, 6:55pm

I think I’ll be able to work part time at least for a while after graduating, so I can work on Thrive. But one of the reasons I want to get Thrive up on steam (and also think of other ways to collect funds), is that that situation is not sustainable long-term.

fralegend015 · April 20, 2021, 10:48am

what master are you going to get?

hhyyrylainen · April 20, 2021, 10:54am

Information processing science, which I think is exclusive major to Finland (at least it doesn’t seem to be a thing in America), it’s basically computer science but actually good.

fralegend015 · April 20, 2021, 10:57am

What about central europe?

hhyyrylainen · April 20, 2021, 11:20am

As far as I’ve seen on Google / I can tell, it’s only a thing in Finland.
Most other places call a roughly equivalent program (see above my comment how it is computer science but better) either computer science, or some kind of software engineer or software development degree.
This is a description of what information processing science degree contains: Opintopolku.fi

Any tips for exams? I always forget everything I revised in Exam Conditions…

hhyyrylainen · April 20, 2021, 2:53pm

Pick a better major, which is the half serious advice I tell my friends if someone complains about exams.
In information processing science, over the 5 years, I’ve had to take only like 2 written exams. All other course grading has been assignments, being present at exercises or lectures, and (group) projects.
