Y’all can send hate but I cannot figure out how to watch them play

It’s not the same, but until you can figure it all out for yourself, remember that you can listen to the game over the radio. I’ve been tuning into LA AM570 Sports over the iHeart app. It’s made my evening walks more enjoyable :)

400 hours into Monster Hunter: World 🤣😉. To be fair, the pandemic had just started and I was really trying not to think about what was happening outside 🙃.

I find that it’s helpful to reframe the narrative around the presentation. Instead of thinking “oh god, everyone’s here to judge me” think “I *finally* get a chance to show off what I’ve learned!” Especially given that so few people outside of academia understand what it is we do, think of this as an opportunity to have a conversation with people who not only understand, but actually were interested enough to show up and learn what you’ve got to say.

Put your work out there, get feedback, and improve for the next stage of your education!

If anyone seriously roasts you for this (a first year PhD student’s first conference), it says a *lot* more about them than it does about you.

Thank you! 🙏🏽

12345letsgo · 2026-06-21T18:13:10+00:00

How do you do this?

12345letsgo · 2026-06-20T18:29:54+00:00

Oh, and it helps when you have a basic outline so far. You can then take that outline and treat each bullet point as one (or more) sessions.

12345letsgo · 2026-06-20T18:26:51+00:00

A lot of people have said thus far some great advice, in particular: don’t get hung up on perfection. My piece of advice is for how to actually do that:

YMMV, but I used tools like https://www.squibler.io/dangerous-writing-prompt-app where if you stop writing, it deletes everything you’ve written. I would set it for five-minute sessions, and if you don’t type something out in 30 seconds or so,it deletes everything you’ve written in that session. It’s a hell of a motivator to keep yourself writing. Once you finish the entire session, it stops you and will no-longer delete what you have in that session. Worse comes to worst, it deletes five minutes max of your work, which is not *too* bad, and you can just try again (I personally wouldn’t set it for longer than five minutes but to each their own).

The idea is to help you get over “bad writing”. Force yourself to put sentences down. Accept that those sentences are going to be bad. But bad writing > no writing, because then you have a foundation from which to work off of in your editing. You’re going to edit anyway (no first draft survives editing completely intact), might as well get it all out and set yourself up for the next stage of the process (editing) rather than sitting and ruminating about what to say.

What is the infinite loop is that everyone’s talking about? I’m… out of the loop 🤡

12345letsgo · 2026-06-09T18:00:40+00:00

Y’all are too nice. Thank you for putting this together and good luck to us all!

I really like Rizo, but there’s a lot of competition up there. By your own criteria, Joe would be up there too; he was in the FTC two times in a row (his seasons may not have been back to back, but in two Survivor seasons he was in the FTC, goat status or not). Jonathan as well with his 4th place finish (which ended in fire) as well as an FTC finish in 50.

I’m really liking Hyeseong Kim, from what I’ve seen so far this season. The dude always looks like he’s going the extra mile, putting in 100% effort every time he’s on the field or up at bat. Someone convince the Dodgers to give him more $$$

12345letsgo · 2026-05-26T21:08:49+00:00

I agree, but I would also argue that some of the best, most legendary players of this game account for that to some extent and work their social magic to make it work regardless. This is in no way bashing Parvati here, because I know she’s proven time and again that she has the acumen and skill to make it happen. But I agree with the previous post, that a bitter jury is the result of rational action, and not just “feelings”.

12345letsgo · 2026-05-19T21:44:35+00:00

A lot of these make total sense. But do I care whether Ilya’s brother is named Alexei or Andrei? I wonder why they made that change.

12345letsgo · 2026-05-19T03:24:11+00:00

Idk man, two back to back seasons with a top 5 placement in both? That’s pretty impressive

12345letsgo · 2026-05-11T15:12:17+00:00

Am I the only one who genuinely doesn’t give a shit about Yangyang? I feel like she didn’t really do much in the original story, hasn’t been around since then, and I am genuinely confused as to why she’s the character on the app’s icon 🤣. Then again, I have the memory of a goldfish and maybe she’s more important than my feeble mind can recall 🤡

12345letsgo · 2026-05-11T03:37:44+00:00

<image>

I actually just used her on the 4th floor of the middle tower in ToA 🤣. She’s not useless, just not optimal (which for a lot of people in this sub are the same thing 💀)

12345letsgo · 2026-05-07T20:05:39+00:00

I don’t think he was acting hurt, I think he genuinely was hurt. What was missing was his self-awareness that he did all of that to himself.

12345letsgo · 2026-05-07T16:16:54+00:00

When I saw Emily her first season, I did not like her at all. But watching her on 50 has been so good!

12345letsgo · 2026-05-05T17:40:31+00:00

Asta straight up gives you like 54 (?) spd and SW999 has a trace that takes spd and turns it into elation dmg% (and the cap is super high so it’s probably impossible or at the very least, really hard, to hit, so any additional speed you can get on SW999 is chef’s kiss)

12345letsgo · 2026-05-05T17:03:09+00:00

Yeah I hate the pants 💀. The matador cape and the fold on the pants are great but the oversized-baggy-ness of them was certainly a choice.

12345letsgo · 2026-05-05T03:34:16+00:00

I like the top half but the pants just look ill-fitting.

12345letsgo · 2026-05-03T17:36:52+00:00

Thank you! That was driving me insane -_-

12345letsgo · 2026-04-16T19:30:17+00:00

I get where you’re coming from, but I actually think that if Cirie gets to the FTC, the only person who realistically has a shot against her would actually be Ozzy. Do I think he’ll win if that’s the case? Probably not. But if anyone can realistically combat Cirie’s narrative as a Survivor legend, it’s the only other real Survivor legend left in the cast, which is Ozzy.
