I entered my first S4 weekly the day before yesterday. First match I went Villager and won game 1, was like "ez" second and 3rd games I lost to Ryu and Cloud.
Then I played Ness. Again won first game, but then lost the 2 next when the opponent remembered not to jump in literally every time.
In maylay I went Fox. I got second and almost made a 3-0 comeback against the TO-puff. I hadn't touched this character in like months, wtf.

Yesterday I played PM netplay. First My DK and Wario got rekt by this Ivy, but at least I beat his falcon. Then this other guys Diddy went p even with my Samus. Then he went Bowser and after a few games started 3- and 4-stocking me. The salt was real.

I don't really know why I play anymore. Did I ever? It feels good to win and have fun, but having a goal is something I just can't seem to pull off, or at least working towards one. And just thinking about a goal is meaningless if you do nothing for it. This kind of has a small connection with what I want to ask of you all:

How do you have fun?

Is it just something that happens and then you find it fun, or are there things you do to make a thing fun for you? Can you choose to have fun, or is it just about putting yourself in a spot where having fun is likely to happen? What even is having fun? I guess these are really grey and person dependent questions, but idk.

That's is a horrible way to lose. I'm sorry. Although that's what you get for choosing Diddy.
Edit: Okay but you redeemed yourself with this set

>People taking me seriously are fun to mess around with!
is the same thing as
>Ha, jokes on them, I was only pretending to be ********!
well yes, deceptive naivety and being disingenuous are things

there is even an idiomatic term for it known as "playing dumb"

in smash, it's more of a people thing. so, as long as the people i'm hanging out with are cool, i'll have fun playing the game, for the most part. when i get totally outclassed that drops off a lot, so it only goes so far, but it's a general basis for me.

i also like landing good aerial flame chokes as ganon, then getting the read after with something that's not another flame choke. that's the most fun.

Because everyone needs to see your beautiful play.

shairn shairn is your avatar purposefully jagged and blurry like that or did you just not care about cleaning it up? I'm just curious
It's a compromise between having the entire upper body, image quality and my terrible cut-out skills
Maybe I should change it

Hey, don't worry too much! You got the job, which counts for your knowledge to some extent. Even if you need to turn to Google to fill a random gap in knowledge, students won't mind so much. The most important part is that you can explain it to them in a reasonable way that's easy to understand, while also demonstrating knowledge and capability. It's not always about giving the answer, most people gain more by figuring out the process, and getting the right answer that way.

And if you don't know something, it's ok to say so. Just don't beat yourself up about it.

Going through Project X Zone 2. Was trying to figure out exactly what it is about the encounters in these games that makes me like them so much.



I now realize that it's because out of context, every awkward line in this game, intentional or not, reminds me of this thread and all of it's regulars.

Especially two people whose names start with an "S" and a "C". ¦D

drakargx drakargx You're not omnipotent. Don't beat yourself up for not knowing everything.
For once I don't have some snark to throw back at mech's advice.

And helsong's expansion on it is solid, too.

Looks good, but I'm not sure it'll look much different from what I have right now (ugly border aside) due to the maximum avatar size
Try it and find out, I'm pretty sure it'll look fine

Got this mock-up and it looks alright. Gotta fix a few things here and there but it looks fine

Edit: Cleaned it up a bit more. I still think there's a few things I can fix, particularly the white lines around the hair, but honestly this looks a lot cleaner than your current avatar.
Edit 2: Here's the original for easier comparison

i was like 10 days behind but pms has been dead so it only took me like 40 minutes to skim through it
With SFV out and it being pretty amazing gameplay-wise, I find it hard to drudge up the will to even play friendlies for PM. It makes me sad because I've spent 2 and a half years playing PM and it just feels like wasted time with how my scene has ended up.

;-;
the spot was a little sad for me w/o you n kev :'<

PMS I need your help coming up with an idea for my third person game project. It needs to have some autonomous navigation system like enemies following a player, you moving with point and click, etc. It also needs to incorporate some different lighting system than just the standard world lighting. These are the only restrictions for it. Any ideas? It's due April 8
