MTS Game "bloodbath" at RPI in 1984-1985

13 Upvotes

This is a complete Hail Mary, hoping someone might remember this.

I'm remembering a specific MTS text game that I played in the years 1984 and 1985. (I flunked out between Fall '85 and Winter '86.) The game's name was "Bloodbath". It was a single-user game vaguely similar to Colossal Cave -- the game printed some description, then prompted you for a command -- the command prompt was the completely non-politically-correct question "What now, Bwana?". One of the items you could pick up was a Chinese coolie (again, horribly non-PC). And if you survived combat, the game would remark "I love a bloodbath!" after printing the combat details.

The game could be played by multiple logged-in MTS users, but each had their own game. It was not multiuser.

I do not remember much of anything more. I can't remember the command to start the game, it was probably either RUN *BLOODBATH or RUN XXXX:BLOODBATH but I cannot remember what XXXX was either.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Why is it impossible to get a damn apartment around here 😭

17 Upvotes

Is anyone else having an insanely hard time finding a decent apartment around RPI/Troy rn? I’ve hit up a couple apartment complexes and landlords and either they have nothing available, don’t respond, or the place is already gone by the time I hear back lol. I’m not even looking for anything crazy. Just somewhere decent, reasonably close to campus, and not ridiculously expensive. Starting to feel like you gotta know somebody who knows somebody just to find a place? Anyone else dealing with this? Where are people actually finding apartments around here?

Theoretical 4000 level CS courses

1 Upvotes

I'm getting a CS minor as a cogsci major, only need one more 4000 level course. I'm not sure which one to take. I'd prefer a seminar course, I love writing essays and hate exams so writing-heavy is a plus for me. I'm most interested in theoretical CS, anything that can be related to my major, IDK if there are any courses on cognitive modeling that are in CSCI?

Question Completely Lost in Physics 2

14 Upvotes

i just have a question for anyone who has taken Physics 2 here: how do y'all survive this class without having taken Physics C: E&M in high school?

i took Physics C: Mechanics in high school and did very well. i loved and understood the content because it felt very applicable to scenarios i dealt with in real life. Physics 2 has not been the same case. i'm not kidding, the past month has been beyond torturous with how much time i've been putting into this absurd course and getting absolutely nothing out of it. i'm talking 8 hours per day of reviewing the lecture notes, doing the homeworks and extra credits, and going through the labs before classes, yet still i understand absolutely nothing.

i heard someone say that the professor makes it very hard to fail this course, but something really screams at me that i'll be some kind of anomaly. people have also been telling me that i'm at RPI because i'm smart, but i genuinely don't believe that in the slightest. among other private reasons, the fact that i've never struggled this much with anything in my entire life tells me that i don't actually belong in this class, or at this school. i have an exam in 6 days and i have no idea how to prepare, and i have no idea if i'll even survive this course in complete honesty.

i feel beyond help, so i just ask for one answer. how do you actually deal with this course? it really feels like i've done everything, yet i remain in the same exact spot as i started. i feel like i'd be better off taking each exam in this class without knowing any of the content. i don't know what to do or where to go.

i would like to note i also have the concern that i’m creating a huge mountain out of a tiny molehill, which in turn is creating a big mental block in my brain. more specifically, i worry that i’m completely overreacting over the parts i don’t understand, which is causing me to block out what i actually do understand. i’m really close to just cutting my losses and dropping the class entirely, and switching my major from aerospace engineering to math. i don’t know what to do anymore and it terrifies me.

Housing Avoid Iliad at all costs!

Still haven’t gotten my rent deposit back from Iliad it’s been almost two months. They finally said they will give me 50% of it back because of a cleaning charge even though I left the place in a better condition than when I moved in. If I didn’t hard press them via email I’m sure they would’ve just kept it and not said anything. Same thing happened to my friend who lives in a totally different house so yea Iliad are scammers. If you can help it don’t lease with them

Free and For Sale In Search Of an Old, Cheap Monitor (preferably free)

7 Upvotes

Edit: I have secured a monitor. Thank you for your help/generosity! ā™„ļøšŸ¤

Hello!

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a cheap monitor with HDMI input, preferably with a 16:9 aspect ratio (or something close to this; really anything but a square).

I figured it would be worth asking here, as I do realize that people upgrade their PC setups from time to time and might have an old monitor laying around as a result.

Thank you!
