Well, Battleborn is dead. Gearbox is moving away from development to their new project. At this point, it was inevitable. That game had "nuclear bomba" written all over it.
I mean, riddle me this. What other game has had their copies go for 10 bucks in a matter of months, when they are brand new!?!?

Also as a reminder, Gearbox invested a lot of money into Battleborn. The final budget was more than Borderlands 1 and 2 combined. So whatever their next project is (it's obviously Borderlands 3) better not only hit it out of the park, but sell gangbusters if they wanna make up their loss. Because if they don't, then boy do they have a problem on their hands.
Morning kin.
To try and get some Overwatch porn hype rub off on Battleborn I reckon.
Wasn't there some talks about that they set it up themselves?

Did a whole "Look! Look at this oh so shocking depravity! The vulgarity of it all!" thing when he found nudie fanart of the game's characters. Clearly a 'all publicity is good publicity' type of dude.
As long as their next game is borderlands, they really don't have anything to worry about. Shame about battleborn, fun little game that just released too close to overwatch

Aliens Colonial Marines really sullied the reputation of these guys. I don't know why they keep letting this guy be the face/PR of the company...he ain't helping.
You'd be surprised. When they've gotta cut losses, they've gotta cut losses.
Heh. Gearbox would have to intentionally sabotage Borderlands 3 to it to fail.
So many people jumping up to be added. Who knew sports was the sunken place
Dude goes out of his way to be a asshole. Like the guy wants to be hated

You're soft selling it.
He made a porn sub-reddit for the game then tried to play off that he didn't make it to get SOME publicity.

Yeah Overwatch, along with Paladins and other shooters pretty much destroyed Battleborn before it even had a chance to shine.
True, true. When things ain't looking hot for your title, you gotta bail out.
Or have Randy as your pr guy/CEO.

Am I out of touch? Did White people get permission to use "nigga"?
https://www.twitch.tv/kaitality has been my go to for streams lately.

#drawingwhileblack has been popping up in my twitter feed a lot today. I am finding a lot of cool artists due to the use it is getting.
Edit: Checked what is was about and the hashtag is for celebrating black artists this weekend.

Btw DeejayKnight pod that dskillzhtown posted. They mentioned this woman that apparently knows everything DBZ and talks about it. I need in. Anyone know which channel it was? He only mentioned a name, Anne if I remember right and that doesn't help me at all 
Brother, since when have white people bothered to ask permission to do anything?
And yes. Some black people are giving out hood passes like they are candy on Halloween. Some don't care because "it doesn't mean the same today". Some think it's okay because it's in our music. Some justify it as ok as long as it isn't THE word in a sentence and a lot of people just don't care.
We talked about it before. I for all of me can't see why anyone would use it. It has literally been used as a knife again and again and often paired with a literal knife. I just can't take it in my mouth but maybe that will pass soon. I'm actually not alone up here anymore and I've been taking my ass out more and more to Stockholms/Uppsalas black night life.
EDIT: I should add that here and from American Family/friends it doesn't cut. I flinched first time I visited back home in Louisiana, was that hard R tho, but I was rather young and been isolated from basically anyone not Swedish.
And it's mostly the Swedish version that cuts more these days but these assholes here have for some reason become multilingual and use it together with the Swedish version.
I should also ask when did Latinos start using it? Family moved to Santa Cruz and they there had no problems using it just a year back.

I'm apparently going to Uganda. Littlest brother is finally marrying his gf next year. Now I need to mess with him about the dowry for real. We both know her family back there is hungry af. Why her mother barely visits back home. They to hungry XDXDXDXD

Thanks, Y'all. I had to check to college kids last night and they tried to hit me with "Migga, is ok" and I flipped on them.

Funny we talking about this, because I have a story about a reason why I left a chat group I was with on Skype about this exact thing.
I was the only black dude I'm this group, but only about 1 person was being "that guy". Let's called them, "S". So it's been a few years since we started and S got too damn comfortable and just started just casually throwing around "nigga". I just shook my head, but it persisted to a point where another person of the group (who in honest opinion, a true friend after this and will be called T) called the dude out for casually slinging around nigga. S didn't care. This was where I decided to say enough is enough.
I chewed that motherfucker out. I put his ass through the grinder and then some. S decided to hit me back with some slick shit, then I hit his ass with another soul crusher that literally sent him into a rage. I'm not kidding, his sister, who was also part of the group, told me. I didn't care, you don't throw that shit around. The dude left the group and I thought that was that.
A week goes by and I log back into Skype, go to the group and guess who I see? That motherfucker, S. And T wasn't really fond of it either. So I looked at this moment and pondered
Why the fuck am I still here??
And I slowly left the chat. It took some motherfucker saying trump is a good candidate during the election that made me get the hell out of there, tout suite. And I never went back to that group or Skype in general since. I really should for T, he earned my eternal respect and I hope he's okay.

Since Cypress Hill dropped it in Insane In The Membrane, at the very least.
Lightning, you chose correct.
I forgot about that.
To be straight about it I don't think I care for that either but I won't slap them.

I feel like we as a diaspora have let things get too lax once we let them in our circle. Not to be hotep-ish but we have to stay vigilant because suspect dudes will do anything to be considered "one of the good ones" and we need White America to know that they are a small and shunned minority,

Hick-Hop was always bound to happen, true country music has the soul of the disenfranchised in it just like hip-hop. I can't hate on them for it really, i mean music is universal...just respect it is all I ask. You want to rap about tractors and hunting, go right ahead.
