And now...The Internet
T-Pain as a ruler in Crusader Kings 3 is something I did not know I needed but really is some genius marketing.
I love fighting game mods, especially when you find a way to add in Goku and make him look dope! Maybe I will return to Guilty Gear soon.

SIFU mods keep getting better and better. I expect some Asura's Wrath level combat in the future at this rate. This does make me wish we had more Matrix games though. That Unreal engine demo whet my appetite!

So much accuracy in back-to-back tweets. I'm not supporting the Hogwarts game by the way.

Weekend Vibes
It's been a great few weeks in music. The weather is getting warmer. Artists are planning tours again and brand new collabs are going down.
tobi lou is a Chicago artist I've been following for a few years now and he's dropped a brand new project called "Non-Perishable" which he claimed would be taken down a few weeks after release. The rapper managed to get T-Pain on a remix of a previous track from over a year ago. But T-Pain also tweaked the song itself live on his Twitch stream a few months ago. I think this final version is pretty heartfelt and worth a listen.
It's the weekend so we got to throw a club jam on here. FF is fresh off the presses with the Quavo feature and that drill sound.
Colors is always a good source for finding new voices. This drop was from around Christmas time and I think is a solid way to end the last moments of the winter season.
It's been a pleasure spending a bit of my Saturday with you all. Before I head off for the night, I'm going to open Shackpets to vote on some cute and cuddly pals and you should consider doing the same! Have a great weekend!
