It's crazy to think that in the year 2024 people think that you can run an esport with JUST the power of sunshine and rainbows. Recently Blast took over the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS). Which is incredible news. Blast does esports how it should be done. Awesome production value, talent and players are allowed to be themselves, and the venues are always set up in memorable ways. Let's put it this way, if you are curious about how Blast does event, just google their Counter-Strike events. One word, pyrotechnics. With new management in any field there will be changes. Blast appears to have cut a handful of talent for this upcoming RLCS season. Once again, the young and slightly dumb Rocket League community thinks this is awful and a sign that Blast is trying to "kill" their esport. I have a soul, I don't like seeing people lose their jobs, but in a talent-based industry and during this "esport winter" it's going to happen. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. I didn't understand the backlash that the decision makers got when the names of the talent that got cut started hitting the timeline. I'm going to be brutally honest, the only names that shocked me was Jorby and Turtle, but other than that, the rest of the talent that was cut were very good at their jobs, but not memorable talent. They never really tried to let their personalities show through their work. They were very "traditional sports". Blast correctly wants their casters to be a reason why people tune in and watch. Blast has a very "Inside the NBA" vibe to them and it works so god damn good. This is a necessary evil and I'm hopeful that the 2024 RLCS season will be one to remember.

Being the King of Content and now The King of Twitter you get a small handful of people who want to come at you online. Mostly because I live a life that many people wish to live. Jealousy. Fine, I get it. What a lot of these jealous types don't realize is that I thrive in online confrontation. Since the Elon takeover of Twitter/X I've been dabbling with going back at some of these peasants to help the algorithm or as we like to call it in the business "farming impressions". Recently, I was being my typical comedic genius and saw a retweet from Dave Portnoy of JJ Watt joining Frank the Tank...for a walk. (See Below) Reminder as a social media wizard, content genius, and comedian (just in case you forgot) I took this opportunity to make a funny impression baiting comment. (See below) This comment was just another masterpiece produced by my brain. It's satire obviously. But of course, you get a troll here and there. I love a good troll, sometimes I like to go back and forth with these creatures in a battle of wits. It keeps me young and inflates my ego. Also, I'm pro-free speech, anyone can say anything they want about me. With that said, I'm allowed to verbally battle assailants. Meet our assailant. (See Below) I chuckled at this not going to lie. I love a good "fatfuck" to end a statement. Knowing that NOW The Elon Musk, the disciple of free speech owns this app, I thought I would be pretty safe saying whatever I want OTHER THAN doxing or threatening physical harm to this troll or his troll family (common sense shit). My response was a clever "Start walking off a cliff". The instant I hit "post" I was hit with a 12-hour ban. I've been using this app since 2014 and have never received a ban, timeout, or warning. Kind of a crazy thing to think about considering how edgy, cool, and rebellious I am. I think Mr. Musk needs to set a standard. I was merely using the first amendment on a platform I thought idolized the first amendment. I was also just defending myself. You call me a fat fuck, and I can tell you to jump off a geographical feature and allow gravity to take the wheel. Simply put Mr. Musk, the only way to ease the pain this has caused me is a Tesla-S Plaid, with a lifetime warranty. That's it. That's the only way to fix this.
