Talk slower than you normally would, like 60-75% speed. Also leave a few seconds pause between each sentence. It gives you more time to collect your thoughts, also when you're nervous you will naturally talk faster anyway so this helps you sound more normal and confident.

It sure is cool that my computer science course has a final exam that doesn't actually test your ability to use any of the programs we learned but rather give a good powerpoint presentation.

That would require people to actually think about their purchases though.

if its a computer science class odds are everyone sucks at presentations as much as you do and the teacher is grading on a curve

Pro powerpoint tip: dont read your slides. Whatever you were going to type on the slide beyond image captions or key ideas/ definitions, put on personal note cards instead. They they have to listen to you and dont get bored.

Note: does not apply to idiot teens who will bother you for class notes if you dont publish them.

It does it automatically and sometimes even re-enables it once you turn it off.

I haven't played either Destiny game but from what I understand it's a case where Bungie didn't learn anything from all the complaints people had in the first game and when 2 came they broke new things by trying to fix problems that weren't there and continued with the poo poo that made everyone hate the first game at launch.

I don't know if that's how I'd describe it. The problems it has feel pretty different from Destiny 1's to me. They streamlined a lot of Destiny 1 as they expanded it, mostly for the better. But in Destiny 2 they took it too far in a lot of areas and got rid of a good bit of the game's depth. It felt like you were done with the game after 2 weeks or so, which would be fine for a single player game but is pretty dire for an MMO. They broke a few features from Destiny 1 in the interest of lootboxifying them, which precluded any good will from a lot of the fanbase. They also reduced the standard PvP size from 6v6 to 4v4 which made it feel a lot less accessible to bads like me.

They repeated mistakes from D1 but also managed to make a bunch of new ones, and somehow have managed to produce content at an even slower rate than they did before TTK came out.

$120 is the price of the game and then there's real money lootboxes

It's a game released after 2015 what do you think?

Destiny isn't very similar to Diablo though, except in the very basic concept of loot grinding.

I'm assuming $120 was the cost of the game with the first two 'expansions' (lel).

That was part of their renegotiation with activision, they asked if they could do less content and made business concessions to the publisher to get there

My understanding was that people didn't like the grind in the original and while part of that was because it was too steep of a grind, it was mostly because the game launched with almost no content or features and tons of poo poo stripped out that was later put into dlc. Destiny 2 fixed the wrong problem by making the grind trivial (which is weird in a grinding based game) while still launching with anemic amount of content and tons of stuff cut to later be added in dlc.

destiny 2 has the scummiest business model in gaming. it has everything:

-a 60 dollar price tag
-lovely content starved expansions that are expensive, necessary to keep playing the game, and churned out at a super fast pace
-paid lootboxes

its a garbage game that should die

At least it doesn't have overt mobile-esque purchases to skip the grind.

MechaSeinfeld

That's because there really isn't enough content/loot to constitute a grind so there's really nothing to skip, and conversely nothing worth playing.

If your personal end goal was "make your space man look cool" you could purchase cosmetic items which saved you from having to play the game to get different looking stuff.
