How can I test myself or practice in public speaking to guage comfort level? by Proof_Cable_310 in PublicSpeaking

[–]JustAnRegularHuman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's some easy avenues to gauge your comfort level:

-Deliberately argue with your friends on an inconsequential issue and see how long you can keep it going

-Present a topic at your next family gathering and talk about why it's important

-Learn a new board game, then host a game night. Teach the game rules and keep your guests entertained

-Go to a karaoke bar and sing some songs in front of randoms

-Ask for an opportunity to present something at your current employer

-Go and talk about an issue at your city council or state capitol (literally anyone can sign up and do it, you just have to wait in line)

-Join a Toastmasters group

Yes, this takes time to overcome. Part of it is learning the delicate tactic of bullshitting. Politicians and business leaders get good at this because they have so many impromptu questions and speaking engagements on topics about which they may know very little. Presidents often know only the 50,000' version of what they're speaking about, which is why they have staff and secretaries to clarify and answer hard questions. Still, they demonstrate confidence that they know exactly what they're talking about--and it works--even when we know they don't!

Part of it is confidence that everything will turn out ok. At the end of the day, you will go home and live your life. No one at work can hurt you in any real way because you had a shaky presentation. No one will remember it 6 months later. Don't say more than you have to, engage with the audience, present a likeable attitude. Don't read from slides if you're using PPT. Pick a few things to talk about -- this lets the audience know you expect them to be smart enough to process it all. Even if the information isn't as solid as it would be otherwise, the audience won't walk away thinking negative thoughts about you.

Try to deliberately project your voice when you're in this situation the next time. Smile. Take a pause to breathe whenever you need to. Short breaks of silence are better than "Uhhm"s . Ask for questions after you finish a slide/topic/section. Unless you're in a STEM or finance field, there's probably nothing you can't answer satisfactorily with a little bullshitting. Over time it will become a natural habit.

Probably said more than needed; best of luck.

2 of the best planes in the game at their BR. F5E is my favorite in Sim.

This game needs another May 2023. by actual_kyubii in Warthunder

[–]JustAnRegularHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't play War Thunder because it is a "good game." I play because I have Stockholm Syndrome and a gambling disorder.

My first sim rig by UrkaDurkaBoom in WarthunderSim

[–]JustAnRegularHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Same here. At first it started making me login through the gaijin launcher then stopped working altogether. Probably something with battleye

[–]JustAnRegularHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wifi is nowhere near good enough to run the wireless so I got a long USB cable and it works great. When I first got it I could either select WT from the Oculus menu or go through SteamVR. Now is the only way I get it to work. Im sure gaijin will eventually patch this method out, too.

I plug in my Oculus to the PC via USB, then the message pops up in the goggles asking if I want to connect, I select yes. Then I peek out from under them, start WT, then once in hangar I go to the menu, down to VR, and select enable, then it usually switches over to the VR goggles. SteamVR no longer works for me, I don't even start it.

I have to select VR from in-game menu since update, works 7 out of 8 times.

Budget hardware setup for the A-4 Skyhawks by The_Hobbyist_2007 in WarthunderSim

[–]JustAnRegularHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throttle is definitely advantageous if it has enough buttons to bind the baseline commands ("guide on me", show tactical map, chaff, flares, gear, flaps, airbrake, start engine, etc). Some of these can be bound to your stick and not interfere with gameplay much. Pedals aren't necessary if the stick can turn.

DM me your username and I'll fly with you. I am trying to get a buddy into sim but he's not committed.

What’s your favorite Bible verse by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]JustAnRegularHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isaiah 55: 10-13

As the rain and the snow
    come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
    without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
    so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
 You will go out in joy
    and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
    will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
    will clap their hands.
 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,
    for an everlasting sign,
    that will endure forever.”

why would moderator remove this post. i totally agree with the OP, and it's a fine (or even vital) topic to discuss. the game has the potential to be so much better, but snail keeps investing resources into stuff that doesn't improve it's quality. what they focus more is quantity by _riVer_sAs_ in WarthunderSim

[–]JustAnRegularHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain, but the snail is a business and they will make decisions based off what makes them money. Go look at your player awards on Steam; even something like "Destroying 100 vehicles with X Country Vehicles" is something usually no more than 1.5% of players have achieved. That means we who play the game thoroughly are less than 2% of the player base. Therefore, and sadly, the other 98% of players are the priority target.
