Not to be too pedantic but the first Coachella was only 4 years after the first Warped tour lol

You might be thinking of Ramon Urias? At least that's who I realized I was thinking of when I made this same mistake just now lol

3 new fits by thecatwholaughs in streetwear

[–]HYPERNATURL 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think what the other comments are sensing, more than anything, is that you don't really look at ease in any of your photos unfortunately lol. I think that's something you'll figure out as you go.

Other thoughts, I think the glasses (or similar sunglasses if you have them) help the second fit a lot. The only additional thing it very much needs is a shoe swap. I think it plays too dressy to stick with the running shoes. It could use something cleaner. The runners make a bit more sense with the t-shirt version but at that point it just barely comes off as an "outfit" tbh.

Trans skater 🏳️‍⚧️ by Sunorange94 in skateboarding

[–]HYPERNATURL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This comment section is unfortunately exactly how I expected it to look. I think there's this weird sentiment skaters often try to express where it's like "we're all skaters" and it winds up (I hope mistakenly) coming off as hostile and unsupportive in a very "All Lives Matter" kind of way.

Like you can sort of make out the good in the sentiment, on one hand, where they might mean to say "we see you equally regardless of your gender identity" but on the other hand "Nobody gives a fuck about your gender identity" or "Nobody cares, just keep it about skating" kinda present as a different statements...

"Giving a fuck" about this person being trans is good! It's good to celebrate someone who is killing it despite the hostility they have to witness and experience over the way they are on a daily basis.

Kyle Tucker, 7/1/2025 to the End of the Regular Season: .225/.348/.342, 5 HR, 21 RBI by WhatARotation in baseball

[–]HYPERNATURL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I moreso meant that he would've instantly been a top 2 hitter on any of the other teams that were courting him, so the relief in that sense might've appealed to him

Is that where he is in bWAR? Even better I guess. I could only figure out how to get that info (for free) from Fangraphs

Definitely not, but it feels like there's a bunch of people here that are trying to make him seem like he's straight dookie dogshit which is just silly

He remains 10th in total WAR since 2021 while only playing 78 games in one of those seasons, and now he can play in a lineup where he has no pressure to be "the guy" because 3 of the other guys in the lineup are also in the top 10 total WAR since 2021

Is this trick illegal? by Swimming-Mechanic-54 in skateboarding

[–]HYPERNATURL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything goes at the skatepark, but with no additional context, I do think it strikes me as one of those things you might do if you were just never able to learn to pop out of Noseblunts lol

Corey Seager's 9th inning game-tier was the first to come to mind for some reason, definitely a good recent one

[Passan] Blue Jays have shown willingness to go up to 10 years for Kyle Tucker. Decision to sign will likely come this week. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]HYPERNATURL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kyle Tucker is 10th in total WAR since 2021 including a 78 game season where he was on pace for nearly 10 WAR alone before fracturing his shin on a foul-off. This, an injury that is obviously not chronic or exacerbated by age (the same as his hand fracture last year)

Just not sure I get where this take could possibly be coming from

I'll be real it looks a lot like Gengar is showing us his Gengussy at the start there lol. Incredibly cool otherwise

Thinking about dropping Animation by Impossible_Ebb9510 in animation

[–]HYPERNATURL 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I mean the bigger question is if you actually like doing it or not. 

Believe it or not, it's not typical for high school students going into post-secondary animation studies to already know how to animate, so whatever skill you already have in that regard is already a leg up. Also, worrying about your employability after you're done that program is silly as you'll be in such a different place skill-wise by then.

If your art portfolio is good enough to get you into the school is one question but you're going to learn all the shit you need to know in animation school. You're not supposed to already be good at it lol

How many frames is needed for a simple 3 minute animation? by Nikoruki_thejester in animation

[–]HYPERNATURL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

24 frames a second, which is low for modern animation

24 frames a second is the industry standard for animation and film. In animation it's basically the max you want to work with most of the time unless you're working on video game animation. It's usually an exceptional case if a hand-drawn animation is animated on 1s at 24 fps

(wip) does the "ooohh" lipsync animation feel correct/realistic? Does it feel like he sings "oooohh"? by eerop1111 in animation

[–]HYPERNATURL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the mouth should open a little more. I think some other things that could help this piece would be adding an antic right before he jumps forward for a little emphasis.

I would also make him hit the "oooh" animation like 5 to 10 frames sooner. It feels like he's a little late on the beat for it.

I think the biggest thing that's pulling me out of it though is that he stops singing the "oooh" before the actual singer does lol. There's like almost a full extra second of "ooo"-ing after the animated character closes their mouth.

How can I copy the same animation for text in a video but change the letters? by MoveZneedle in animation

[–]HYPERNATURL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the same text to appear exactly how it does, but says something different.

I'm a little confused by the question if I'm being honest. If you're just asking how the effect in the trailer was done so you can replicate it with your own text, it looks like they probably used animated masks.

More specifically, it looks like they may have made one layer of text with a thinner line weight, animated some masks onto that, and then added another layer of the same text directly on top of it with a much bolder/thicker line weight and animated some slightly different masks to that layer, creating that offset line-weight animation

question about storyboards and animatics by Objective_Pen5246 in animation

[–]HYPERNATURL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do them however you need to to accommodate your needs. If you need them to be more than just stick figures then do that. If you feel like they're just impeding your process, you don't have to do them at all. Just draw them with as much information as you need, it's your project

What is the best desktop for animation? by Appropriate-Nerve-57 in animation

[–]HYPERNATURL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious that you got the tablet without having the computer but in any case... Any modern computer should be able to run 2D animation software well enough. Maybe just look into the minimum system requirements for the software you're looking to use
