## Endeavours

In his years, SassyDino has made multiple attempts at various projects and skills, both online and in-person, with varying levels of success. Outlined below are just some of these endeavours. This does not include attempts at content directly based around the SassyDino name or affiliated social media platforms.

### CVRT

Following on from his newfound love of RWBY in early 2018, SassyDino was prompted into a new era of doomed-to-fail projects. Possibly the most (or only) notable one of these projects is the one titled "CVRT". It was intended to be a RWBY fan project, with the name originating from the in-world generation of team names from the initials of its members - in the case of CVRT, the team members were given the names Chartreuse, Veracious, Rosso and Tephra. The project never left its nascent development phase, going no further than the characters receiving theme colours, fighting styles and general aesthetic descriptions. The one exception to this is the early version model of Chartreuse's "Magnetic Sabre", which was a fairly simple 3D model based loosely the Scoia'tael Sword from The Witcher 3, and created in Autodesk AutoCAD as this was the only possible software that could be used for modelling known by SassyDino at the time of production.

### Japanese

After the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the UK in 2020, SassyDino set out to learn Japanese alongside some of his peers. Initially

## Anime History

### Context and RWBY

In the beginning, as far back as 2018, SassyDino was abjectly averse to the mere concept of anime, going to great pains to mock all involved with the media form. No change was made to this attitude for many years, until one fateful day in early 2018 when SassyDino caved into BurningZ's requests to watch the ongoing anime-styled web series "RWBY". The first series of the shows was endured by SassyDino with gritted teeth, despising the thought of watching such a show. Despite this, by the time the end of the first Volume had been reached, unbeknownst to SassyDino the seeds of discord had already been planted.

This unknown growth in tolerance allowed SassyDino to progress to the second Volume of RWBY, which was again begun in grudging compliance. However, this time around SassyDino began to grow more aware of his tolerance to the show as it progressed. By the time Volume 2 was concluded, SassyDino was willing to admit to himself that he no longer disliked the show - even if the idea of true anime still repulsed him. Yet again, SassyDino and BurningZ progressed through the show, this time into Volume 3 - what would soon become and would remain for years as SassyDino's favourite RWBY volume. As the thrilling conclusion to the third Volume arrived, SassyDino was finally willing to admit to himself the unthinkable - he had enjoyed the show that he had so endured for several hours unwillingly. Stockholm Syndrome? No - a true, honest enjoyment.

The final two Volumes were finished in earnest, and the conclusion of Volume 5 was reached in a bittersweet realisation - the show was over. The bitter did not last long however, upon SassyDino's discovery that the show was not finished, and would release and sixth Volume later that year. From here, SassyDino's descent into anime was nigh-uncontrollable, and would lead him down a very interesting yet controversial road.

### My Hero Academia

The next chapter in this story involves the introduction of SassyDino by BurningZ to the shōnen anime entitled "My Hero Academia" (僕のヒーローアカデミア). Despite the previous successes with RWBY, he was apprehensive yet again. RWBY had been a great show, which had led SassyDino down a dark path to nigh-obession, much to the horror and disturbance of other MemeSquad members - especially BurningZ, the root cause of all said cringe. However, My Hero Academia was not RWBY - My Hero Academia is a true, Japanese made anime. Whereas SassyDino could rest easy in his enjoyment of RWBY through denial of its anime status, he would not be able to do the same with My Hero Academia. An ultimatum needed to be made - and so the final deciding step in SassyDino's primary evolution was taken, with a mere click of a play button.

As was inevitable, SassyDino enjoyed his time viewing My Hero Academia, and despite his self-doubt and reservations around watching an anime, situation similar to that of RWBY occured.

### Anime Dumpbin

Main Article: Anime Dumpbin

Following the completion of My Hero Academia, BurningZ and SassyDino seeked more anime to consume for entertainment. An idea was formed to watch lesser-known, alternative animes, and rate them - this idea marked the birth of arguably MemeSquad's finest product: Anime Dumpbin.

The first show to be featured in the Dumpbin was a seinen anime titled "Re:LIFE" (リライフ). The relatively short show was consumed fairly quickly, and on 14/03/2020 the reviews and ratings of the show were posted by BurningZ and SassyDino - 10/10 and 8.5/10, respectively. Following on from Re:LIFE, the second show featured in Anime Dumpbin was another seinen anime titled "Tejina Senpai" (手品先輩). This show was completed 28/04/2020. Third to feature in Anime dumpbin was a shōnen anime titled "Kemono Michi: Rise Up!" (旗揚! けものみち). Being an isekai show, this provided a new and interesting spin on anime dumpbin, featuring a return to fantasy not experienced since the days of RWBY. Heading in the complete opposite direction thematically, the fourth anime featured in the Dumpbin was a seinen pop-idol show titled "If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die" (推しが武道館いってくれたら死ぬ). Its slightly lackluster plot was held up by entertaining characters and "absolutely boppin" songs earned it scores of 10/10 by BurningZ, 8/10 by SassyDino, and a guest judge xDaNnY0 granting a score of 8.5/10 for the few episodes he sat in on. Fifth on the scoreboard was "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" (ダンベル何キロ持てる？), a fitness-oriented slice of life shōnen anime. As of January 2022, the final entry, a review for "Rent-A-Girlfriend" (彼女、お借りします) was posted on 14/11/2020.

### Independent Anime

In the years since the Dumpbin's formation, SassyDino has gone on to watch a number of anime shows independently from Anime Dumpbin, and BurningZ. This involves cases such as re-watching RWBY a number of times, as well as continuing to stay up to date when new Volumes release. It also involved the watching of a number of new anime shows such as "Re:Zero", "Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon", "KonoSuba" and "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou".

## Games

### Overview

SassyDino is well known for often playing a games that are widely regarded amongst Memesquad as "bad". The primary examples of this are two of his favourite games, Destiny 2 and The Elder Scrolls Online, both of which he has spent over 1000 hours playing and poured a questionable quanity of money into[Citation needed]. Alongside these two primary fixes, SassyDino is a frequent of many other games, inlcuding but not limited to: Skyrim: Special Edition, Rocksmith 2014 Edition, Fallout 4, Tabletop Simulator, and Forza Horizon 5.

### Stellaris Controversy

Occasionally revisited together with multiple other members of Memesquad, Stellaris is a Sci-fi Real-time Strategy (RTS) game involving the expansion of one's space-faring empire. SassyDino is renowned for his relatively passive and laid-back approach to the game, often to the frustration of his peers. This involves situations such as his first multiplayer game, in which a lack of experience and urgency led to a large degree of unpreparedness in the end-game, displayed most spectacularly in his utter lack of colonised planets. To those more experienced, this is considered a borderline cardinal sin, and led to a large degree of mockery at the hands of all present.

Over the course of the many gaming sessions since, SassyDino has improved vastly his Stellaris game knowledge and skills, putting him more on par with certain experienced strategy game players such as xmat7x, but still leagues away from the superior players such as Lemon Mcgee and Lord Seagull.
