Move-In Week at PA Place: Already Sweating Through It
Welcome back from break, everybody. It’s me, AliasRZ, with another housing rant. I recently moved into housing after a long trip to PA Place, where I was cramped under all my belongings, which made it hard to move. After moving my stuff into the dorm alongside some groceries, soon after my family left, I was left unpacking, ridiculously tired from the first few days since I had to spend a while packing up, deal with the trip over, and unpack the stuff that I felt pooped. Midway through unpacking, my roommate and I noticed the room was humid as hell. Summer heat. We dropped the thermostat to the temp the…

War Thunder: Fun Moments, Endless Bull: A Ground & Air Rant
Heya everybody, it’s me, AliasRZ, with our second summer gaming blog post. These hobby ones are gonna run longer than the usual Room Zero stuff, so buckle up. I’ve had War Thunder installed for years, but only started playing it seriously last year. I’ve been grinding the ground tree and dipping into aviation, mainly with China, Italy, and France. The game has its enjoyable moments… but holy Moley, it’s bullshit in a lot of ways. I’ll stick to Ground (RB + Arcade) and Aviation (Arcade only). However, correct me if I get any info wrong in the comments, considering I’m not knowledgeable about tanks or aircraft. (nobody plays navel btw…

HU Housing Sign-Up: Why Is This Process Such a Pain?
Heya, everybody, with another day of summer vacation from AliasRZ. This isn’t a video game entry; however, it’s something regarding the school. Specifically, their absolutely brain-dead student housing application process. The issue I have is: why is it so damn annoying to sign up for a form just for the chance at student housing? Harrisburg Uni is so shitty with their housing process. So, as a refresher for anybody, we have to fill out two forms. The first one, we put our info, preferences, what kind of housing we want, all that. The second one, which they made mandatory sometime last year, goes to PMI if you’re trying for ROM.…

NFS Pre-Black Box Era: Nostalgia Trip or Setup Nightmare?
Heyo, everybody, it’s me, AliasRZ, in the middle of their summer break, struggling to find a job. But we’re not focusing on that today. Simply because it’s the middle of break and I have a bunch of free time, I’m focusing on making two new categories. One focuses on things happening during break, while the other focuses on basic hobbies such as gaming. Now let’s get into it. Simply, I’m a person who, during my later high school years, became interested in the nfs games. Started with Underground 1 (yeah, yeah, basic choice, sue me), then worked my way to The Run, skipping the Shift duology and only playing a…

🧊 Ice Breakers Should’ve Stayed in Middle School
AliasRZ expresses frustration with college ice breakers, feeling they are unnecessary and reminiscent of middle school. In the first class of the semester, sharing personal facts often feels forced and forgettable, as students are more concerned with adjusting to their routine. The author calls for more effective ways to connect.

Rant Entry: The Job Market Is Dogshit and I’m Tired
AliasRZ here.Sorry for not writing in a while. I’ve been dealing with the unholy combo of writer’s block and general laziness (lol). Nothing exciting has happened lately… unless you count the slow burn of rejection letters and employment rage. This post isn’t really about HU stuff directly, but honestly? It falls under “Complaints about the Harrisburg Area” so I’m throwing it on the blog. 💼 The Job Hunt from Hell Let me start by asking a serious question: Why is the job market so dogshit? Last year, I applied to jobs using all the “right” platforms—Handshake, LinkedIn, and Indeed. Most of them either: Also, sidenote: I was almost tricked into…

🚪 ROM’s Front Door Fiasco
Posted by AliasRZ Happy Sunday, everyone. Hope you’re enjoying your last few hours of freedom before classes kick your teeth in again. Today’s rant is dedicated to a recurring issue that just won’t die:The ROM front doors.Yes, those doors. If you’ve been lurking on Discord lately, you’ve probably seen the constant pings begging for someone—anyone to come open the doors. At this point, I wouldn’t be shocked if someone gave up and tried to dropkick their way in. Honestly? I’d respect it. And no, this isn’t some new, temporary issue.This has been happening since last year.Let that sink in. You’d think someone—anyone—would’ve fixed it by now, but clearly, we’re asking…

HU Professors Who Make College Harder Than It Needs To Be
Heya everybody, it’s me AliasRZ back again and ready to rant. College is already a headache. Assignments, deadlines, trying to stay sane. But some professors really go out of their way to make it worse. I’m not naming names for obvious reasons, but I’ve dealt with three so far that pushed me right to the edge. Let’s start with Mr. “Angelo”. He’s the type who thinks dropping F-bombs every other sentence makes him cool and relatable. Like a middle schooler who just discovered swearing and can’t shut up about it. I’m not against casual language. It’s college, not church. But after the fifteenth unnecessary one it just gets old and…
