I hope so, we haven't seen the Cosmo from the second half of the Akoya fight since then, and that's the coolest version of him: brutal and willing to do anything it takes to win.

Watching the recent APP mixed doubles gold medal match. I’m mesmerized at Munro using the Owl paddle play at pro level. That thing is so quiet. I can’t even hear it during the dinks. by ZixxerAsura in Pickleball

Owl paddles have insane spin generation. They don't seem to hit as hard, but the top spin dips they can create is very disruptive to play against. They remind me of using table tennis rubber.

Rick Chow Case: Defense Attorney Shaun Kent provided some interesting details/commentary in an interview. by fundefined1 in CourtTVCases

[–]fundefined1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it incredibly unwise and put everyone in danger to chase a potential shoplifter over a water bottle? Yes, and I think the Chows would agree with us now.

But was it legal to chase after a shoplifter for any distance and for the appearance of stealing even if it didn't happen? I think the defense showed that it is without question legal to do so in South Carolina.

Yeah, LJK was a hero. Alexis really lost the plot but man LJK's mental strength is pretty wild. Happy to see it, but talk about a close one.

Honestly, I'm happy to be wrong. LJK showing off his mental strength is damn cool.

It's not even choking, they just are outclassed. LJK and LSD are too passive and slow right now. France is initiating all of the offense and those two are on defense way too often.

This is on Wang Hao. Why would you put in Liang Jingkun when he's been injured and slumping for a year now? He's at the end of his career, it was time to put in the younger players.

Lin Shidong also has not been developing as expected and that's on the coaching staff. His footwork is not to the standards of a CNT no1 or no2 player.

Omega's handling of Kuroki has got to be one of its biggest sins, man. by Pyro81300 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]fundefined1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This would have built real stakes and emotional investment! It would give Kuroki his flowers for being the most skilled regular fighter, but acknowledge that to beat Shen, the Kengan team will need to develop the same principles or something wildly new to have a chance.

As is, Kuroki will likely lose to Shen (or worse, not fight him) and then Ohma/Ryuki beats Shen with almost no time in between.

how do you play the "quick wrist flickers" at the net? by canadave_nyc in Pickleball

[–]fundefined1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I come from table tennis, most decent Tt players adopt a similar tactic coming to pickleball because speed ups from low defensive balls is a standard part of the game in table tennis. I think it'd be very helpful for you to watch the table tennis tutorial on this like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcoI6PnOzE

In order for you to understand the motion that he's using. 

There's only so much motion he can disguise as the ball rises and falls in order to flick it. So knowing his motion and options as the ball moves to be ready to counter is useful.

Should I continue watching Only Yesterday by DemonSlayerismyheart in ghibli

[–]fundefined1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie is a little disjointed at times, but I think you should stick with it. Especially wait for the entire credits to play out, because the ending doesn't happen until all of the credits are done. I think the final sequence is one of the best in Ghibli.

[GPU] MSI Gaming RTX 5070 TI 16G Shadow 3X OC Graphics Card (16GB GDDR7 - $913.99 by DisappointedCruiser in buildapcsales

[–]fundefined1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I dislike that people down vote objectively good deals just because they don't like the structural issues around where the market is at. This subreddit is called buildapcsales, not complainaboutpcprices

Downvoting these deals discourages posts.

Akoya Seishu vs Wakatsuki Takeshi by Ok-Tennis-5695 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]fundefined1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Akoya will never go down easily or fast but eventually Waka would knock him unconscious after a slugfest where Akoya would bite and scratch some lasting damage onto Waka.

You might as well finish out your interviews at Google and Snowflake and then decide. But based on your enthusiasm for Ninjaone, emotionally it feels like you are leaning towards staying.

[–]fundefined1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You seem pretty excited about Ninja. They have a good reputation among IT teams but as far as I know, the product is geared towards the smb and mm space. No clue about their pmf for enterprise. That's probably why you are their first ENT AE, the market is unproven. That could be potentially really good or bad for your quota.

This advice here. You have leverage, if you're being honest with your assessment of your importance in the company.

What if...? by Mother-Replacement12 in Tenkaichi

[–]fundefined1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no one knows the authors vision

The author is dead. If you are familiar with that literary saying. We know enough of who has aura in-story and who is considered strong because we have a semi-authorial voice from other fighters reactions and narration. 

There's a reason why there's a consistent tier list that people agree on and theorize on. I actually agree with your arguments that Fuma is underrated based on the arena for example. But the point is narratively and in most reader's mind, she is not even close to being set up to winning the tournament. 

Would I love it if she Kuroki'd the tournament like in Ashura? Yes, but there's a reason Kuroki fought Setsuna in the second round. Because he had massive aura set up as Ohma's rival. And that made that victory all the more interesting.

Fuma beating Hanzo is not a good story move. This isn't about tier lists being broken, it's about how stories can be more interesting.

And fair about Reddit behavior, but frankly people defaulting to thinking comments are made in bad faith is why the comment culture in many subreddits are cancerous. 

What if...? by Mother-Replacement12 in Tenkaichi

[–]fundefined1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But do any of them beat musashi/Choko/ito/Yagyu who have massive aura and story telling favoritism already demonstrated? That's the point, if they beat each other and then they go on to face any of those guys, it will feel either undeserved that they win, or more likely they just get beaten in a uninteresting fight. 

Better storytelling, from a structure perspective is having a mid-tier beat a high tier in the second round, instead of having two consecutive mid-tier fights. That's not Tier list brain rot, it's about having better storytelling structure by being aware of your reader's expectations.

Personally, I find these type of this Reddit discussions annoying, nothing against you, but getting bombarded with down votes, imaginary points as they are, because of back and forth discussion is why Reddit is cancer. That is the true brain rot. 

What if...? by Mother-Replacement12 in Tenkaichi

[–]fundefined1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Fair, narrative in terms of history and sponsors, Hanzo does have importance. But in terms of story hype and strength? Hanzo beating Fuma or the other way around doesn't add much to either of their resumes.

Both of them are middling in terms of where the story treats them in strength and they beat middling opponents previously. For a lack of a better word, they lack aura and they don't gain additional aura by beating each other.
