Knockout City is a game about rhythm based games.
The padawans accuse me of big fishin' a lot. Not big fishin' like the websters way, big fishin' like in the movie where that guys dad was supposedly cappin' all the time. Rude little goblins. But It's no big deal, they only know what they know, and it took years of travel for me to realize that normal in California is absolutely, positively, for-daggon-sure, not normal all around the equator.
I also understand because I was a 1:1 version of their thought process when it comes to my OG's. See, in California you grow up working for these promoters, producers, and performers who look virtually indistinguishable from any garden variety middle class schlub. But then you find out this guys mom ran the Vans Warped Tour, or the dude down the street has an Oscar for sound engineering, or you walk into a room with them only to have an art legend punch them in the face over a 50$ debt from the 70's.
Any you be like, "Why is nobody making more of a big deal of this!? What the Frak is going on!?" And you ask that question until the day you reach middle age and realize the clear, salient, sobering truth.
Listen: "Nobody is making a big deal about it, because nobody gives a fuck. Not even them."
That last line would never compute to 15 year old me, 25 year old me, and 32 year old me would have challenged it. But 40 year old me feels it in the pit of my bones. We've collectively decided that money, fame, and connections mean something, but that only goes so far.
After reading those past accomplishment examples above most people instantly thought, "Well those people are rich and from a good area." Because that's how we are programmed to think about fame. "They" have to live up on the hill or nothing makes sense.
"They" aren't you, but "you" can become "Them." Nope, in Cali "they" are the people that live check to check just like everyone else, and reputation is the monetæ de terra, even for the folks at the top of Weidlake drive.
I say all of that to say I see a lot of young Twitch folks finding themselves in hollywood rooms and feeling like the old guard aren't taking them seriously.
I'll help you out and say It's definitely not jealousy that you headlined Virtual Coachella this year. And why would you think that? Video might indeed kill the radio star, but it's your attitude that'll pen your eulogy. The fix is ez, be a good person. Trust me, it's a blue chip, long term investment. Regardless of platform.
But I say that to say I am cappin' and have been all these years. I never done nothing and I don't know nobody, which is why that stock photo is the only pic of me on the internet. Also stop making fun of me for still being Ultra Silver it's a respectable rank and I can't play one game all the time like you fetuses.
Also rip tb rip tc rip tall-t. Love is wise hatred is foolish. Get out there and do great things, we believe in you. also Jobs.
