    The short of it is 

    • Drake and Kendrick been throwing subliminal shots at each other for almost a decade (mostly just competitive banter)
    • Kendrick called Drake and J. Cole out on "Like That" (again, mostly just competitive nature). 
    • Drake releases "Push Ups" that talks about Kendrick's bad deal, his shoe size, height and brings in rumors about his wife.
      • This is when the Deathnote was written.

    Everyone says that Ed Boon and company always gave hints new stuff in Mortal Kombat games by cryptic messages which is true. But Bill Gates and now Satya Nadella have done the same with Windows like this like that 11 minute video. Why 11 lol:

    Announcement

    At the Microsoft Build 2021 developer conference, CEO and chairman Satya Nadella teased about the existence of the next generation of Windows during his keynote speech. According to Nadella, he had been self-hosting it for several months. He also teased that an official announcement would come very soon.[40] Just a week after Nadella's keynote, Microsoft started sending invitations for a dedicated Windows media event at 11:00 a.m. ET on June 24, 2021.[41][42] Microsoft also posted an 11-minute video of Windows start-up sounds to YouTube on June 10, 2021, with many people speculating both the time of the Microsoft event and the duration of the Windows start-up sound video to be a reference to the name of the operating system as Windows 11.[43][44]

    The people "solving" the problem are making boatloads of money, so there's less incentive to actually solve it. It's like all these endless "wars." There's less incentive to try to find a peaceful solution when defense companies stand to make billions from them.

    Alex Botez was the first person I ever heard called a "chess entertainer." She and her sister are definitely entertaining and both their chesscom bots beat me handily so I have nothing to say lol

     

    Speaking of which. Youngest ever to compete for world champion just won the candidates!!!

    In April, Gukesh won the 2024 Candidates Tournament, qualifying for the 2024 World Championship match against Ding Liren. He was the youngest ever Candidates winner, and will be the youngest player to play in a World Chess Championship match.[1] He was not one of the favourites, with former World Champion Magnus Carlsen placing him as equal sixth out of eight in his predictions.[23]

    You guys seen the Scorpion one where Scorpion (Kuai Liang) gets sent to MK Onslaught's timeline?

     

     

    Also noticed that the reason that Shinnok is not in Liu Kang's (MK1) timeline is because they never met in canon. They don't know about each other according to canon. That's why in Shinnok's chapter, Shinnok wonders what combat would be like with Liu Kang.

     

     

     

    Also this:

    Guess the story line from MK Onslaught is another time line and not the same time line as MK11 or MK. Note that they don't mentioned that Shao Kahn got defeated and only Sindel got defeated. Maybe chapters 9 and later can be a Shao Kahn redemption arc where Shao Kahn takes down Shinnok and the 2 sorcerors

    Yeah, true. It's actually not as noticeable as when WCW had their logos on their mat with some advertisement back in the 1990s/2000s. Haven't watched it. Only saw clips on youtube and apparently John Cena and Undertaker showed up. So, yeah "wrestling is cool again". Love the unpredictability of WWE now. From about 2008 until 2022, the WWE was too predictable and now not so much.

    They keep taking away what defenders can do. It's ridiculous. The NFLPA, the people that get hip dropped tackled, was against this change. Then you have shit like pass interference where the offensive player either doesn't get called for it, or they call it on the defender. They let offensive tackles, false start on the regular. People always go with the "flag football" hyperbole but at the rate we are going in 20 years it will be flag football.

     

    "Personal Foul. Playing defense #27 on the defense. That's a 15 yard penalty and #27 is disqualified." 

     

    Soon rugby and soccer are going to be more dangerous than football. Maybe they're getting everyone ready for flag football for the 2028 olympics with all of these rule changes. Guess the XFL and USFL combined into the UFL with less teams.

    I predict JLO, Mary J Blige,  Lil Kim, and maybe Suge Knight too will start a new ME2 faction against him and how they were just all afraid to say something "until now" for some reason. 

     

     

    Weren't Suge and Puff bitter enemies? Why would Suge whine?

    You guys/gals are too much lol. There's probably only guys posting here nowadays though. Remember way back when in the old school SRK days when we did have gals like akumachan and so forth.

     

    Wow we're old now. I'm going to paraphrase Don Frye during his hall of fame speech. If we're middle aged then that means we'll be alive during our 80s, 90s, and 100s. So  yeah, I'm old lol.

    CvS2 is probably my favorite fighter. 

     

    The "FINEST KO" amped up the finish. 

    yeah I always like the Japanese version's FINEST KO!!! as apposed to America's dramatic finish or something. Hell, I even like Finest KO over any version of the Mortal Kombat franchise's Fatality.

     

    And once again, believe that CVS2 is Capcom's true successor to 3rd Strike, the official Street Fighter 4, if you only use the Capcom characters of course.
