Just got home and immediately prepped my dad's resting place for when I've received the ashes. Still gotta get a case for his watch and a stand for his obituary. ππΏ
Chadwick was a fucking hero and such a uplifting figure. The Black Panther movie in particular was such a huge moment for black people GLOBALLY and I felt it's influence. (Hell I got dreads because of Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger) So to hear this news is uniquely devastating
We MUST do better about protecting black women in the scene and elevating their voices when horrible shit happens to them. There so no fucking godly reason why Akumu should have been allowed to do this to MULTIPLE women for YEARS and still not be at AT LEAST ousted from the FGC.
i hope you, adam, kevin, olivia, and the old crew are brought back. you guys don't understand how much you and your shows meant to me as a kid. if you decide not to come back, that's okay too. i just hope that this new g4 can live up to the old's legacy β€
The law of the same people who took this country from the people it rightfully belonged to, then brought another group of people here, against their will, to build this country for them.
Dude, these "staredowns" happen so frequently because if you get clipped even once in this game, you can lose the whole damn round. High damage and comeback mechanics actually ENCOURAGE passive play, they are CREATING their own problem and then blaming the players.
Shout out to @TarZangief for keeping the convo going about Saudi Arabia's sportswashing in the FGC. We didn't let the WePlay dudes slide when it turned out they were on some fuck-shit and we shouldn't let Saudi Arabia slide either. We MUST protect our communities.
All he said was that this was TEKKEN'S moment 37, as in the hype equivalent for our game and our scene. Not that it is better. No comparison is being made here.
I'm just gonna say it: I don't like the tone that Harada responded to that lady with. Even though she had her facts wrong, the overall sentiment wasn't unfounded. Japanese devs (Tekken included) have always been a little lazy when it comes to adapting black characters.
you're right, and just to elaborate, almost every culture, black and white, have had some form of dreadlock hairstyle. at this point it doesn't even matter who had it first.
I'm just gonna say this y'all: Labbing does NOT have to be you sitting in training mode all day practicing every single possible situation. It can be something as simple as practicing that ONE move/string/setup that keeps blowing you up and learning how to beat it. That's it.
It's not all of a sudden actually, it's been a thing since at least Noctis's reveal. Since she is more of a hand to hand brawler she arguably fits Tekken more than Noctis does. So with the reveal of Tekken 8, there is more interest than ever before in bringing her in.
unemployment:

β οΈ plenty of time to reflect
β οΈ catch up on anime/show/gaming backlog
βοΈ can't spend money on non essentials
βοΈ rent's due next week
βοΈ job applications suck
βοΈ unemployment benefits are uncertain
βοΈ depression/feeling like a failure
I'll make a more fitting tribute to him in time but I thought I'd at least say this. Me and my dad weren't as close as I wanted due to distance and life getting in the way, but I will strive everyday to make him proud.
Love you dad!
Shits ass bro. And I ain't seen nobody involved say shit about any of it or even try to denounce it. Making a mistake should not warrant that kind of response period. Can't be poppin shit bout nipping bigotry in the bud then stay silent when your friend is on the receiving end.
Dude honestly, coming from a fan that is in love with this game and just want to see it succeed, the tension between the community and the game developers would be a lot better if we had some kind of transparency between bamco and the players because we feel very left in the dark
If you ask me, the conversation should have NEVER been about Iambic. It should have never been about gatekeeping. It should have never been about who is and isn't qualified. It SHOULD HAVE been about why Bamco, once again, only hired THREE people to cast a whole ass Master Event.
I am so sorry for what I said. I truly didn't realize how much meaning was behind the words I was saying. After talking with a lot of people I realize how ignorant I was. I need some time to think and reflect. Words don't express how bad I feel right now. I'm really so stupid. I'm very scared right now. I'll do my very best to do better.
For those of you wondering... I want to add context because I see people saying that I am unapologetic when I truly am. I apologized multiple times on stream.
Earlier I had a stream I'm not very proud of. A rap song was requested with some explicit lyrics with the soft version of the n word and people were telling me to sing along to the song. This started people saying racial jokes in the chat and I regrettably leaned into it and joking with everyone. I really thought it was fine without the hard R like in the song. I really don't mean to hurt anybody saying these things.
I know what I did was wrong. I should be more responsible with what I say.
Yeah, but you don't have to lab an entire character. You can just lab the one thing that keeps beating your ass, especially now that we have replay takeover.
It takes less than 5 minutes and even LESS time if you play a game that has replay takeover. Why try to solve a math problem by yourself when you can just look up how to solve it?
Yes, because I like to be able to SEE my characters in my competitive fighting game and not drop a combo cuz I got flash-banged by some rogue stage lightning π
Also *taps sign* ππΏ
