I'm having a lot of trouble believing this.

There two kinds of herpes?!

Yeah. The first kind is the more harmless kind. Most of the population has it and it manifests in cold sores in and around the mounth. Most people don't even know they have it. The second is the kind that most people refer to as "herpes". It's basically the same thing, but usually much worse and on the genitals.

Does Flee speak with the fry?

Not really, but it sounds that way on my microphone. It gets better when I turn op the mic volume, but then it gets a lot of noise and picks up all my keyboard strokes.

GO

Kinda sounds like some Power Ranger type battle cry if you don't know what it is.

hydrating your skin is what minimizes irritation. that's where shaving in the shower helps. you shouldn't need to see what your doing if you go clean shaven, just feel. of course you'll need to tidy up your sides afterwards once you get out.

neck and jawline is always tricky, I got that thyroid cartilage to work around. it takes practice.

I usually shave right after the shower so my skin should still be hydrated, no?

Regardless I'll give it a shot the next time I have to shave.

Water alone might not cut it. You can moisturize with something else before you save too.

I'm naturally a formal speaker, which is good for my job, but in your conference it may be more important to throw in jokes, different inflections, hand gestures, etc. I kind of doubt that's the case, but those can be good ways to keep the audience engaged -- i.e., not bored to death.

And of course, rehearse whatever you're saying, and have a bulleted script in front of you to guide you along.

I get to use a powerpoint presentation, so that'll help. Formal speaking is also expected, so I should be fine there as well. My main concern is my familiarity with the topic I'm presenting. Much of it is of a colleague of mine who won't be able to attend, so I'm covering his research too. It's the fielding questions in front of cameras and several hundred people on a topic I'm not intimately familiar with that's got me worried.

I'm not sure how appropriate it would be, but since a lot of it is someone else's work, if you don't know an answer, maybe you could respond by saying you will follow up with an email after conferring with your colleague? Otherwise, there's only so much you can anticipate being asked, so have some sort of professional response ready in case you don't know something.

Careful with powerpoint, too. Don't let it be a crutch.

Yeah, my current plan is to start it off by pointing out that I'm not the lead author of the research and that while I will try to answer any questions to the best of my ability, I recommend that those with serious concerns or detailed questions contact my colleague by e-mail and follow up like that.

Like it? Hate it? Any good at it? If not, what do you do to help yourself out?

I'm a pretty good public speaker, but have an important presentation at a major conference coming up and am feeling the nerves. Never used any tricks or anything for it.

Welcome back.

Full list of updates mentioned during the stream.

The great:

- You don't get sent back to the main menu after the match ends, but remain in the lobby so you can stick together with the same players.
- Specific challenges for each Champion that you earn and unlock specific exclusive customization options for them. More customization and longevity is never a bad thing, so this sounds awesome.
- Voice chat added. This was a long time coming and I doubt I'll use it much, but integrated voice chat is never a bad thing.
- New duel map is coming soon (fast, lots of verticality), as well as 2 other team (and potentially also duel) maps. Lots of people are hoping for Aerowalk, which I'd love. Such a good map.
- Anarki, Nyx and Slash are getting larger hitboxes. It never bothered me all that much, but their hitboxes were indeed too tiny at times.
- CTF mode is wanted by the devs and hopefully coming eventually.
- You won't lose your customization stuff if you buy it in Early Access (assumed to be the end of inventory wipes for beta players). Looking forward to collecting and building out my characters.
- A robust crosshair system is being worked on. There wasn't anything wrong with the default crosshair, but being able to customize it will be nice.
- Vulkan is being worked on, but no ETA given. Performance has been manageable for me, but it's been sloppy at best. Vulkan should help people with all kinds of PCs to run the game smoothly.

The good:

- The addition of new lore such as champion rivalries, gods, and more expansions to the Quake / DOOM universe.
- There's going to be collectable lore items during games and they'll be used to collect special skins.
- Beginner levels (interactive tutorials like in QL, I assume) for people to learn the basics of items, timing, gameplay and weapons.
- Quakecon lightning gun skin: you can get one only if you play during Quakecon, it's free. It's also orange.
- Rockets ~should~ be fixed. 0 damage air rockets were a major bug, so that's very welcome.
- Doom Slayer won't speak. Nice of them to respect the lore and character like that.

The neutral:

- Community maps are something the developers really want, but it's not coming any time soon for a variety of reasons.
- Solo players will still be matched against parties in team modes, although they do try to match with other parties first.
- No current plans for offline bots due to security issues. Big shame. It was the best way for new players to get acquainted with the game. I played this mode for hours back when I was first started out. However, they were only specifically talking about OFFLINE bots, so I'd say there's good odds that bots will make it into the game.

The bad:

- Speed caps are there to stay. Shame, but understandable to balance small heroes with fast acceleration and the larger slower ones.
- They refused to give an answer on whether demos are coming, don't know what to make of this one.

Scihub for journals and papers.

Can't believe I forgot about Scihub. I have access to tons of these databases already, but not all. Currently stocking up on some papers and books for work. Thanks fam.

How's that working out for you?

Also, fuck Trump for being the lying piece trash we all know him as.
