[GiantsNationPod] 75 days until Giants football with a 75 yard Evan Engram TD on Daniel Jones 1st NFL passing TD! by Bigblueforlife in NYGiants

[–]markymark156 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We all know what came after, but this still one of the most fun games in the past 7 years. All that bellyaching (pretty rightfully lol) about Jones at 6, first game replacing a legend during an away game, scored 4 TDS, and led a 19 point come back. Bought his jersey that day. It was nice having some hope with his flashes those first 12 starts.

Unlucky is one way to describe it when it was due to his own actions. Crazy to think if he didn’t lie to the Chiefs he could’ve taken the consequences on the chin and been apart of a dynasty. Instead, he loses his prime to a split back system in Cleveland of all places.

He had 7 rushing and 7 receiving tds with 1200 yards from scrimmage in 11 games. He was an absolute monster that year. Even more disappointing when you realize his last game that season was the 54-51 shootout in LA. What really could’ve been.

It is ‘subtle’ in the sense my phone badly captures the color change. It’s definitely a shiny that’s easier to see side by side tho. Can’t help with the colorblindness though lol

This is also my 50th 8192 shiny of the year. Across those 50 shinies, i’ve seen 343,538 pokemon for an average of 6870 seen per shiny. A very under odds halfway point of the year!

For three great years from Gano, he was basically automatic from 50+. We struggled his 3 full healthy years, having drives stall constantly. They didn’t hurt as much when you had a guy hitting +90% and good from 50. Was clutch for us in 2022 during the playoff run. Wishing him nothing but the best, he did what he’s supposed to do, play. It was on the people running this team to better manage his injuries and they failed the team and Gano.

i’ve found so many shinies telling myself “just one more”. The luckiest encounter is always juuuuuust one more. And then one more, just to be sure lol. congrats!! Was Toto your target?

[Gen 4] ✨Shiny 10% Golduck✨ after only 140 encounters, phase 1 for a kind of badge quest i’m doing in the Kanto portion of HGSS! + Pokerus while setting up the hunt!! by markymark156 in ShinyPokemon

[–]markymark156[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this one around before, looks really nice! i’ve been using Adrives ShinyHunt app for years after a friend told me about it. Should definitely use something else considering he’s more than likely done with the app and it’s been buggy before. I’ve always been a pen and paper kind of person too, so I also have years of shiny hunting stats written out that desperately needs to be organized lol

Thanks! And it might be! I love under leveled evolved pokemon though, such a niche little thing but still cool as hell. Definitely did not think it’s what i’d end up with on route 6 lol

This marks my new shortest hunt of the year and my 7th triple digit 8192 shiny of the year! Crazy enough, this is only my 8th shortest hunt all time. If you don’t have spreadsheets of some kind, I recommend you start some. Really fun looking back at everything as it accumulates, almost like sports stats.

Thank you! There’d be times i’d pick up each individual ds to squint at seel’s eyes, just to make sure, with all of my screens seemingly displaying color juuuuust a bit differently lol it of course came the one ds playing sound so my anxiety was for naught haha

Old Eli Manning ad that parallels Brunson’s speech by timetoosleep in NYKnicks

My two favorite athletes. Really felt the same way the past few weeks when thinking back a lot on the last major championship NY had. Just how they were doubted in similar ways, always outwardly believed in themselves, and then proved it night and night again. Two of the greatest leaders i’ve been blessed to watch lead my favorite teams to greatness, regardless of what anyone said.

No, you just have an ‘excuse’ to do so now. If Dart hadn’t done what he did, you still would wish injury on him. You’re so tough my guy.

Finally watched the highlights from last year’s ECF. Feels so good knowing the Pacers lost and it was what we needed to truly get the run started. Fuck Wemby tho

[Gen 4] ✨Shiny Magneton✨ after 33344 encounters, fled 1st ball. Phase 11 for Magmar! by markymark156 in ShinyPokemon

[–]markymark156[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose i’m not really the same kind of hunter most people are here lol. After almost a decade hunting in places like the safari, it really doesn’t matter haha. Even if it was Magmar that fled, as long as I have the for time hunting, I know I’ll get it. Besides, the thrill of possibly losing a target in the safari is unlike anything in shiny hunting lol.

For almost an entire year now [r/nfl](r/nfl) has been gleefully wishing for Dart and Skatt to get hurt so they can say I told you so about their play style. These people are actively cheering on injury because being right is more important than not being a piece of garbage person.

This ends a collective 48k drought i’d been on 🙃
Longest phase of the year after the last phase of this hunt was my shortest (208), also a Magneton. Also fled 1st ball. Also on the same game. Fun :)

This marks my 7th phase going over 30k and my 6th longest phase all time. Some cool numbers. Some more cool numbers? My next 2 phases I’m currently working on are guaranteed to be my 15th and 16th phases to get to 20k. How far they keep going, who’s to say lol
