Just thought about this one chick that got angry at me because I said African Americans.
While I get the reasoning some folks have for not using it but she was getting really upset about it. Given she was the embodiment of every imaginary black female that Black Men say have too much attitude to date(Yes they exist sadly but a stereotype is a stereotype).
Funny thing is I was just using African Americans in jest too because I honestly don't use the term often I was just using AAVE(African American Vernacular) as a small joke and I got blown up for it.

Lies.
JC's return post is going to have to be "Satch found out Bayonetta is in Smash Brothers" tier for all this slander.

keep your strippers out of my American football
I have both, XB1 and Rocket League. Love the game, though I completely suck at it.

Honestly he probably has no idea who dreamdrop even is. Tho JC should be used to having random people cursing his name by now.

So you mean to tell me, Future wrote for Ye's album but this negro couldn't get him on neeeen track? How you let Real Future Hendrix write but let Discount Future spit?
C'mon Ye!!
C'mon Ye!!
Wait for the 1.03 patch to drop tonight.
To be fair desiigners parts on FSMH2 is a sample. They're not even rerecorded lines lol.

Yeah actual Future would've been dope
The question was Jandro is NOT a horse, to which the reply was NO, implying that Jandro is, in fact, a horse.
It's only slander if it's not true.
I'm mean and intentionally abrasive, but I'm not a fucking jackass. For example, I'd never mock someone for being suicidal not would I tell someone who I knew had struggled with it that they should kill themselves or die. That's one of the differences between us. I know where the limits are between joking in good taste and attacking someone like a fucking malicious asshole. Regardless of any percieved slights I haven't fucking earned that, so JC can fuck off forever. I'm never going to be cool with him and I'm not going to act like I am. Think of that what you will, but when it comes to him, I don't have any fucks to give.
Maybe people do like JC. I don't think anyone should.
He knows.

Why negotiate when it's $30/hour? Plus this is contract to hire.

Negotiate anyway, see what you can get out of it, just don't push too hard. I did that at my job and benefited greatly despite loving the original offer.

But still, Future was in the studio... Ye looked right at him and just said "nah b." then proceeded to throw in half baked Future.
And he's aware that he's off brand Hendrix
The one when I didn't go crazy on the design? Heh. People are really attached to that character in particular and I'm not really sure why.
Though I have a suspicion
I mean, I get the sentiment, but I think I'd be better served negotiating once I've proven myself a valuable asset and they want me permanently.
I'm getting 2.5 times my last pay and working from home.
Please don't be a train wreck like virtually every other thing updated for modern audiences.

Oh I didn't know this part. Ok, no negotiating yet.
I don't think I have it in me to watch anymore slave films. There's so many aspects of black history that could be focused on, but ain't shit being made unless its slavery or the civil rights movement. I mean shit, at least focus on something unique within that era. Give me Reconstruction or something. At least Birth of a Nation focuses on a story where the slaves are their own agency for change, albeit unsuccessfully...

Really like pretty much all the white background + character + character name. Teala Hart one especially
I'd left you hold it to know what money felt like, but you couldn't keep it.
Yup. They want to make sure I'm a fit before they bring me on. I basically have till September to redesign their website and if they are feeling it, they'll bring me on as webmaster.

And this is why people like... Err tolerate JC.
This shit right here. JC would at least let you hold 20, then charge 100% interest.
Don't know exactly what it is.
Looks like she has been in sword fights and the hair and expression is cool. Like the color too
Yeah, that cunt shows up in the doc too. :_:
Thankfully only archival footage though.
I howled. An actual howl came out of me instead of loud laughter.
I feel you on that. I'm looking forward to this one as an exception. I'm betting that the number of people who are even aware of Roots has dipped drastically within the last 20, 25 years to the point of it being a completely obscure reference to most media savvy people. Not that people are more likely to go out of their way to see it, read the book, or look for the original tv adaptation. But it being back in current circulation is probably a good thing.
Ironically, she's super lazy and unmotivated. Fantastic fighter, but only because she wants to end fights as fast as possible so she can go back to being lazy.
In case it's not obvious, wallpaper 1 and 2 are the same character, as are 3/4 and 5/6.
Awww. How come. ?
Make that three. I'm personally very happy it exists and I hope that it's well done, but there is absolutely no fucking way that I'm watching it. Noping right the fuck out.
Flaw of having different artists with disparate artstyles. That's why I'm have one person do all of the characters over. Once that's down, I can finally finally show off this little project I've been working on.
It's not the game, if that's what you were hoping.
dskillzhtown
keep your strippers out of my American football
Agreed. I do think that there are a couple of generations that need to see something like Roots as they are so ignorant of the past. But I would like to see something different also. The life of a black inventor, astronaut, war hero, supreme court justice, etc. another story that I haven't seen before.

Civil Rights films, Slavery films, and Bioflicks are just grating to me at this point.
Don't fight it.
Hooooooold up. Why are biofilms getting tossed under the bus? There are fantastic stories about black folk that aren't being told and biofilms are by far the best way to disseminate that information.
Down to see whenever you decide to show
Been a minute since you've been working on these
Oh no, nothing serious. Is just that i got lost, between horse jokes, facts that i don't know about the forum and members.
Is fun tho'.

I can still do slave movies but I think too many creatives, black and white, think slavery and civil rights are the beginning and end of the black struggle or the height of black prosperity. I think if someone is thinking about making a slavery movie, they should research to find out if there's another bit of history relevant to black oppression that hasn't been done to death. I also can't stand the feeling that it seems like mainstream white society learns nothing from movies like this. It feels like they see the movies the same way they look at an exhibit of neanderthal ancestors. "Oh remember that? Well I'm glad those times are over." It never feels like society has actually learned anything despite the overwhelming amount of antebellum period movies.
As long as you are happy with the end product
