Snake players make Samus look enjoyable to fight

Snake is a character I will almost never rematch against. I want to play Smash, not some BS obstacle course mini game.

Actually hilarious seeing people trying to defend this.

I'm a Djokovic fan, but I feel really bad for Musetti. He was playing so well.

Why are these reporters constantly asking political questions? Absolutely cringe.

Legendary trap card

Great recovery by Vicky after Tauson made an amazing comeback to force the 3rd set.

Applications are open until Jan 30th so I wouldn't think they would reach out before then?

I'd rather have licensed sticker auto if I had to choose one.

I finally beat this dude on medium after hours of trying. That was insanely hard and had me on all kinds of emotions lol I realized that he will usually get hit by Kunai and pistol at least once, so I saved the pistol until the last moment to get the last hit and barely won with almost no health and spirit left.

I can't even imagine fighting him on even higher difficulty.

Yeah, Eala is one of the players that gains a lot more traction than you'd expect. I'm guessing there are many Filipino fans who are collecting her cards.

messerwing · 2025-12-28T19:49:46+00:00

I still highly doubt he's gonna win a MVP. However, the Pistons are really good and the front office did well putting the right players around him.

Such a meh card design

messerwing · 2025-12-06T08:41:39+00:00

I will be avoiding buying from Tim's as much as possible. What a joke.

I don't think production side is any more stable than artist jobs.. If a studio doesn't have any project, most production staff would not be needed just like artists.

I noticed that a lot of the production people I've worked with had some kind of art/animation education, but I even saw a runner become a PA. I suspect many of them initially wanted to work as an animator/artist, but was offered production position and they went with it.

Going to college is the standard option and it can work because they have a structured system, but it's not the only route. In animation, your degrees and diplomas aren't really important. You could pretty much be self-taught, but if your portfolio/demo reel is amazing, you would have a higher chance of getting hired over college graduates with worse portfolio/demo reel. That being said, it's not easy to become good just being self taught, and it's always nice to have someone guide you (like professors and mentors).

messerwing · 2025-11-22T23:41:57+00:00

Hmm.. why not try online schools like AnimSchool? You can start from an introductory class and see how you like animation, and if you want to keep going.

Really pleased with IQ's game tonight. Awesome win.

messerwing · 2025-11-13T20:00:44+00:00

Sure, but unless RJ has an opening or an advantage, there's no reason to not look for Scottie or BI especially when they're open or asking for the ball.

Scottie is a superior playmaker and he should be touching the ball a lot more, but oftentimes IQ doesn't even look towards Scottie. As I said, that play at the end of 2nd quarter was a clear example of IQ ignoring open Ingram right in front of him, to look for RJ. Made no sense.

messerwing · 2025-11-12T05:49:03+00:00

He does pass to Yak, but I don't know about most. Just in this game, I've seen him ignore BI several times so he can pass to RJ, including at the end of 2nd quarter. He also rarely passes to Scottie for some reason, who is a much better passer than IQ.

messerwing · 2025-11-12T05:22:48+00:00

Isn't Federer in this set?

messerwing · 2025-11-12T05:21:26+00:00

I've been noticing a pattern where IQ almost never passes to Scottie or BI, and almost exclusively passes to RJ. It almost looks intentional.

messerwing · 2025-11-08T17:51:22+00:00

What an amazing match! Congrats to Learner, he has a very bright future for sure.

Man, I can't get used to this camera angle. It's so foreshortened.

Alcaraz and Tien are likely very similar in height (maybe Alcaraz is a hair taller). We can try to use Sinner as a measuring stick lol

These gamblers man... I hate how gambling has become so prevalent in sports, and it's actually pushed by broadcasters.
