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.

blackjacksike · April 20, 2021, 2:55pm

Wait, so you also learned electronics? Interesting.

hhyyrylainen · April 20, 2021, 3:06pm

Where does it say that / did I say that? The information processing science degree does not contain any electrical engineering courses.

blackjacksike · April 20, 2021, 3:08pm

Oh wait, no it’s just one study path. nevermind

The studies in the bachelor’s degree programme in Digitalisation, Computing and Electronics (DICE) has three study paths:

Computer Science and Engineering specialization

Information Processing Science specialization

Electronics and Communications Engineering specialization

First year of the studies is common with all DICE students. The studies will include programming, software engineering, electronics and mathematics among others.

@hhyyrylainen if there is a bot that passes messanges from the forum to discord, why isn’t there a bot that passes mesanges from discord to the forum

hhyyrylainen · April 21, 2021, 4:48pm

I think that’s unnecessary.
It also comes with two problems:

How would the messages go to the right thread? Or would there be one thread per channel?
And the discord has a lot more problematic users who send messages violating the rules often.
