Eminen is white as a cracker yet he drops it all the time in his songs.
You can't use that word. Only rappers can use that word.

Really tho


Maybe I'm just out of touch, but when I see Twitter posts like this

Feels kinda petty? Like, I know I'm not 100% in the right to talk about this topic but this feels like something to be angry over for the sake of being angry.

We dealt with this so much better in the 90s.

To be fair it's generally wrong for any cracker to say it regardless of profession.

Well there are 2 reasons as to why you may feel that

It's Twitter
It's Twitter on a topic that could potentially have nuance.

It is

But, if you're going to do rap music, you're kinda in an awkward spot since that word is so heavily ingrained in a lot of songs and the culture of rap in general.


This tells me, the only correct play, is to never become a rapper at all.

I mean. I'm no expert on any music but isn't Gangster's Paradise one of the more popular rap songs through history? Which doesn't cuss even a single time? I also thought rap was more like freedom of expression generally alongside bragging instead of just the N word, but I'm a Gamer so I don't listen to mainstream music

I mean, that's also one song, compared to a lot of others.


For example, I love F da Police by N.W.A. and hoo boy there's a lot of swearing and bombs in that one, and I'd also say that's an extremely famous rap song, if not influential.

My point is more so that it isn't a requirement to say the N word so it being awkward doesn't really add up to me, cause like, you can just go "Nah I don't think I will use it"

My favorite rap song is Lust by Lil Skies and he definitely drops some hard N bombs on me. :090: Such a good song though, it got me through a bad breakup.

You're not wrong.


But this still feels like Twitter being angry for the sake of being angry tbh.

I literally used my family to decide whether to redate Makoto or redate Kawakami…Makoto won 2-1

You know, I just thought if this, but is Freddy Fazbear even important in FNAF anymore.

Like, he's not even the main antagonist of his own series anymore
I mean, Freddy has been hinted to be antagonistic to Afton, as he did witness Afton killing the one kid and was stopped by Afton from following the Marionette according to the minigames in FNAF 2. Interestingly, Afton has also been stuck with the form of a rabbit after being stuck in Springtrap/Spring Bonnie, one of the two supposed original animatronics from the original diner, the other being Fredbear.

Hot take


But I'm tired of Springtrap and feel like the new game squandered a good potential for new antagonists.


I know it had been built up since Help Wanted but, damn, him coming back throws a legitimately good conclusion under the bus when you realize it was utterly pointless.



I'm not even a FNAF fan and the way they butchered that ending from a storytelling perspective upsets me.

But also they really want my money. This is a fair trade off though
In hindsight it makes sense given her not-so-secret love of sweets. I know Falkoopa will be loving this. Surprised they gave her ice cream though, I thought that was more of a Cynthia in-joke. I'm not interested in yet another Marnie alt personally but at least she gets Steel Wish, so she'll be great to pair with the many Steel type Galar units.

Am a little bummed there's no datamine tonight. I'm really curious at just how OP they plan on making a F2P unit like Cyrus and how the new Jukebox mode works (just let us buy the songs/release an album!). Also to see if the speculated Dawn/Cresselia & Cyrus/Darkrai spotlights will come true.

Glad to see people like the new Pokemon game. Not sure how well it performs, but at least something really different is being done with one of the bigger titles since XD and Colosseum. Still going through Dread and Okami myself. Maybe play a bit more KOF Maximum Impact.

Made some Art progress too. Both for personal work and fan-art. Gotta get one more fan-art piece done after my current one and I'll hit my goal. Said current one, I just gotta color.

Also if we're talking Rap Music, DMX, MF DOOM, Busta Rhymes, OutKast, Kendrick Lamar, Asheru, Eric. B and Rakim and Snoop Dogg are some of my favorite artists off the top of my head, so I'd recommend them I guess. Also Flipside from Freeway is a 2000's classic and S.O.U.L Purpose has a few songs I like too.(Lemons is one and Survival from MadWorld is another). AND Skee-Lo's I Wish is a banger too.

Does anybody know how to raise heavy armor skills in 3 houses for Byleth? Trying to recruit Raphael at the moment.
I don't remember the name but when you walk through Garreg Mach on your days off, your options at students and other teachers are Tea Time, Recruit, lost items and another one, that last one is basically tutoring and I believe Gilbert and Alois ares the only ones who can help increase Heavy Armour. It's been a while though so I could be wrong on who gives it
