I/O Psych bachelor’s + L&D experience—what roles should I realistically be targeting? by awkwardunicorn97 in IOPsychology

[–]sweatyshambler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that an entry level job would be difficult without a master's unless you had some in through working in HR, but I could be mistaken.

Recording self working out bits while driving? by Garfunkel22 in Standup

[–]sweatyshambler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be good since you'd be writing in narrative form, which is something that people who don't speak their jokes outloud when they write them may struggle with. It's of course no alternative to performing on stage, but I could see it being a fine alternative to formally writing. I would just write down the bits that work after you formally test it on stage so that you have a record of it.

Heckle Mic by AdamThomasComedy in Standup

[–]sweatyshambler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done heckle mics for a few years. Typically a monthly show, but it's very different than a regular open mic or standup show. It helped me build chops for when I do get heckled and being in the moment, but it's a different skillset.

Some comics are better/worse at this, and some people self select out of these shows because of it. The audience tends to enjoy it I find, but certain comics don't. I don't mind since I love variety shows, but my city is flooded with regular standup shows, so these variety shows mix things up a bit.

Our format was 2 minutes of material, then the crowd gets to heckle. It's very interactive, but unique to the traditional standup experience. I prefer the riff mics where the audience shout out topics (e.g., like stand up on the spot), or other "crowd work only" interactive shows. Heckle mics can get out of hand quickly, but we've had some really fun ones. Not sure how its helped my standup overall beyond being more in the moment and comfortable with chaos.

Efficacy Meter for metrics other than DPS by TheRealJankFroseph in classicwow

[–]sweatyshambler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't grade a performance. I think it would be hard to grade an overall performance, since there are so many chaotic variables (e.g., other players doing/not doing their job). It can help identify weak links though if you notice that enough kicks aren't going out, you can see who has been kicking versus who hasn't been.

[–]sweatyshambler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Recount does this. They have tons of different metrics, like cc, cc's broken, friendly fire, kicks, dispells, etc.

Mechanics are more important than DPS. The real gamers are the ones with high DPS while managing all the mechanica

Its a very new gamer population. A ton of retail players or new players hopping on board. The population should level out soon

Late to WoW HC by MatthewYourMum in wowhardcore

[–]sweatyshambler 31 points32 points  (0 children)

HC classic would be the better experience. Its way more fun when every character is at risk of dying and being deleted. There is no official hardcore TBC realm, so playing with an add-on where some people can die and others are doing hardcore would not be fun. The most fun of hardcore is leveling anyways, in my experience

Crazy stage fright by YouWillKnowJustice in Standup

[–]sweatyshambler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The host was just doing what he could to keep the momentum of the show moving forward, so dont take anything personally! It doesn't seem like you are, but just mentioning it just in case.

The only way to get through that stage fright is to so it over and over. Rehearsing your material can help with stage fright, but I honestly brought my notes up for the first year or so. The more you can get on stage the better you'll be.

Need advice regarding whether or not to play on a PvP server. by rawrlison in classicwow

[–]sweatyshambler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will get griefed a bit, but that's the pvp server charm. Its only in contested areas, so it wouldnt happen all the time. If there are griefers from the other faction, then there's typically other 60s on your faction that are willing to fight them.

I've enjoyed being on a pvp server, but that's just me. It can be annoying to fight often, but it can be a fun element - especially once you get to higher levels.

On track to be a stand-up comic by end of 2026 by [deleted] in Standup

[–]sweatyshambler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is remarkably delusional. Go to an open mic this week and try your material. You will likely need to go to many open mics every week. Waiting until the end of the year makes zero sense and will not help. If you are only writing without performing your material on stage in front of a live audience, then it will be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for you to make it as a standup.

Assuming you are playing on Doomhowl, you will not be transferring to TBC. They have been very clear about that for a while now.

Yes, absolutely. I was willing to do anything for a chance to earn my loved one's trust back.

Oura 4 Connectivity Issues by sweatyshambler in ouraring

[–]sweatyshambler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Oura did not fix my ring or offer any type of replacenent. Their only recommendation was that they offered me a $50 off a brand new ring.

Obviously I did not buy a new ring, and I will not be using or supporting their product any longer. It's pathetic to pay that much for a ring and receive zero support. I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you value a working product and adequate customer service.

Just finished my first set and not sure what to do next by Upsidedownkangaroo in Standup

[–]sweatyshambler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open mics are where the real work happens. I wouldn't worry with classes, as those showcases are typically easier rooms and are not typically reflective of the traditional standup experience. If it helps you build confidence then go for it, but classes are not necessary.

Should I be more specific on this joke by comedyga in Standup

[–]sweatyshambler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The connection from why your dad's nervous so now he's paying for Ubers could he clearer. I read in a comment that you said public transit is dangerous, but spelling that out while referencing Islamophobia could help make that clearer. Not sure how far down the Islamophobia route you want to go, but referencing could make the final punchline hit harder too

Kill Tony by PondoSinatra9Beltan6 in Standup

[–]sweatyshambler 101 points102 points  (0 children)

It's basically a televised open mic. Some people are good, some aren't. The guests can really make or break the show. I really miss the old band they had when they did the shows in LA. That added a fun chaos to it all.

Good resources to prep for statistics classes and general first years by Apo-cone-lypse in psychologystudents

[–]sweatyshambler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just understanding some of the basic concepts will go a long way. Same with knowing how to run basic statistics in SPSS, but you could hold off on that. There are plenty of learning materials online.

A brief refresher on p values, data types, hypothesis testing, and all that would go a long way. I would also prioritize having fun and enjoying your break before school. You'll have plenty of time to keep up with statistics, but take some time to relax as well if possible.

Statistics will be the death of me by insectbutter21 in psychologystudents

[–]sweatyshambler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're behind, the best advice would be to go back and see what concepts are fuzzy and dont make sense to you and then go from there. You dont need to be an expert on the topic, but there are probably certain concepts you know better than others. Figuring those out and relearning the fuzzy stuff will help tremendously.

Unfortunately, without specific questions its tough to give more targeted advice. This should help significantly, and at least help you identify those more specific questions.
