I am seeing more and more of them. Like I know it has been a thing for a while in gaming but it was mostly in cases where it made sense for the story or there was purpose behind it like how MK added in characters from all sorts of universes now and in the past.

But I feel like this has become a money grab. Like I see Apex Legends having some sort of Apex x Final Fantasy 7 thing and I am like "why tho?" like this don't make any sense of either game. It is basically an ad for another game within a game. Especially with Rebirth coming out at the end of February.

I am not a fan of this stuff anymore.

So this dude is claiming to be in love with Rubi. He spent a lot of money on her OnlyFans and only met her once. They don't activity talk but the dude is OBSESSED with her and ya'll, I got a bad feeling about this one. I hope she is hiring security and making sure people are aware of this situation.

If he is paying out that much for attention and don't get it, the dude is going to flip script eventually. Not good!

Who exactly are those prisons supposed to house?
Maybe I'm just trippin'. All the YouTubers keep telling us that our HBCUs are just Black Boulé factories, anyway.
Maybe the YouTubers are right; forget Black schools, let the devils build more prisons!

Any idea who this is? Somehow ran into this person's content and ended up watching a few of his videos. Pretty wild, like PHD thesis defense level work.

Thought for the day

ANOTHER WINNING PREDICTION BY ME!!!! Haney showed the world what greatness in boxing is last night. Congrats to Devin and Bill! #P4P #DHP

I think 2023 is a busted year for most people. It just felt like it dragged and not a lot of good change happened. It was mostly just spending, sleeping, and praying. I think 2024 will be a better year for a lot of people. Do you have any goals for next year in terms of yourself or any sort of business/money plans?

Was this the right choice?

I haven't heard DMX a lot as much as I've heard snoop dogg, jay z, kanye, dr. Dre and 50 cent.
Which song by dmx is something that suits you?

Is this money well spent by the dodgers? 10 years 700 million coming off major season ending surgery and may not be able to pitch next season.

If you're reading this, and you're Black, then I want to see you win.
I don't care whether you're FBA or immigrant, male or female, straight or gay, conservative or liberal, Team PS5 or Team Xbox, none of that matters. If you're Black & on-code, then I've got your back.
Even if we disagree to the point of argument, that doesn't mean that I don't like you, or wouldn't stand up for you in the real world. Family doesn't always have to agree, but we are all still a beautiful Black family.
That being said, I pray that you have a happy, safe, & joyous holiday season (unless you're a jerk. In that case, you can kick rocks).

They was big mad at him for this clip. He was 1 of 1.

African countries are often run by corrupt, European ass kissing mofos. The young, the Gen Zers I've met often fall in one of two categories.

European ass kissers. Anything white is right. Or renewed pride in being Black. A lot of the Gen Zers are pro black American. Why? They grew up with black American (FBA) icons in music especially. They use black American slang mixed in with their own language. Especially in IG, Whatsapp, Twitter. I've dated one or two and she would talk about melanin. Lotsa these women are now using that and proud of their dark complexion. I've been fortunate to visit the continent and there are all types. Those that see you as basically a black version of a white American and they are looking for the dolo out of your pockets. I've seen loads, too many, hard core swirlers. But I've been happy to meet some who love their blackness. Have a sense of community with other Africans and those of us in the diaspora.

I mentioned on here once or twice that I was living in Asia several years ago and my circle was a tight knit group of brothers who were mostly American (both FBA and non FBA, but also had Canadian, South African, Ghanian and we were all B1. It was beautiful. Everyone had each other's back. We linked up a lot and turnt up at spots and it the most beautiful experiences of true brotherhood I've had outside my homies back in my neighborhood.

Is this the norm? No, unfortunately but its possible. If you link on the same B1 vibe. The one country I've met the most love though is the UK. There is a reason why Tariq said the Blacks in the UK are the biggest supporters of his projects outside America. I spent some time in an area in south London called Brixton and Streatham. I had a great time. Got mad love. Interesting thing is they mostly of Caribbean background and some are of African lineage but they have this unique accent of British mixed with Caribbean slang and black American slang. Can't describe it, you'll just have to hear it. They also found my American black slang accent just as interesting and it was kinda strange because we shared similar lineage, B1 mindset but culturally had different slang, kinda, sorta similar poor and black upbringing, hood up bringing. What we call the projects, they call Council Estates. I learned a lot.

Anyway, some of the Gen Zers are talking about

Asking for a friend…

I thought I would drop this here. I didn't watch and I know I missed some of the releases and announcements in noise of people over-hyping other games. So here is a 9 min video that shows you all the games announced in case you missed it or were curious:

So I just saw a trailer for a new Blade game and it is being developed by Arkane Studios (Dishonored and Deathloop) produced by Bethesda in collaboration with Marvel Games.

I started off curious....Now I think I'm all in on this and MIGHT just get this for PC to scratch that curious itch. I don't even play PC. But here we are....

They hate the Nazi's for the cruelty they did to the Jews they said, but the inhumane occupation and take over for the civilians over in Gaza is just out of hand everyday more than 180 children are dying in the air strikes against these poor folk who didn't even throw a rock at them!.
Aren't the Jews there the Nazi's now?

Remember that western with the mostly all black cast? Starring Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz and Jonathan Majors. The ending for The Harder They Fall clearly left it open ended for a possible sequel. I won't say much about the story in case you've yet to see it, but there's a potential for a sequel, and I sure as hell hope they take that opportunity.

I especially like Jonathan Majors as the main character. He did awesome in that movie and I would like to see him take this character on again, and maybe for multiple movies to follow. What do you think? Would you like to see a sequel to this movie? How many sequels? I'm down for a trilogy.

The video looks bad but the Brother is being convicted in the court of public opinion.....let's let the facts play out.

Everybody buys kicks ... Better to get your fix from a BoB (Jordan got enough money) ...

Remember Kyrie ! SMH ... Sadly, we lack discipline in this arena to keep going ..

Anyway,
Here are just a few of the alternatives:
