Finally going to graduate

After 12 years studying on and off various degrees I'm finally going to graduate from something. Woohoo! Had my last exam on the 7th June, felt like it went well but there's always that niggling doubt that you did something stupid and didn't realise it (like not understanding some questions properly or missing a whole sheet of questions). But exam results were available today to allay those illogical fears. I even got enough for a distinction grade which pushes me up to a credit average overall. This doesn't matter so much now since I have a job, but would have been important if I was applying for grad programs, which usually require credit average minimum.

Congratulations!!! I hope now you can excel at your job or something (I’m not even in Uni yet, unsure of what really happens after that)! Good luck!

@aos10, not a maths teacher sadly, did a computer science degree. I started doing a science degree and changed my majors multiple times (started off physics and maths, then chemistry and maths, then chemistry and geology, then biology and geology) and never ended up graduating from it. Ended up switching to computer science in a completely different university.

wow, that's really dedication, big respect for that, i tried going to computer science but i hated programming languages, so i choose computer engineering, more hardware, less software.

Congrats but what's with the Assessment 1 score? Everything is like XX.xx, then you got a 4.99986, SERIOUSLY? Just round it up or down somewhere already:rofl2:

@ThoD I think I know why, there were lots of questions, like maybe 30 or so. Probably the score for each question was added up and the result retains the rounding error. E.g. 1/30 is 0.0333...... So if they added up 1/30 rounded (0.033 say) then times 30 (0.99) then times 5 to make it out of 5 (4.95) that would lead to the weird score

    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)
     +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

    FNF was born from Game Jams
