My daily upload streak comes to an end here after 101 Uploads and I believe 2 and a half months.
Not my longest streak by any means, BUT what will stay intact for now is to either upload OR stream daily. Just did one today, been labbing builds on stream, will start showing our runs on pro am live more, and also the runs with subs on rec as well more once I hit this Vet 2 and can disregard rep a bit more while I play.
If you guys are interested, it’ll be on YouTube and Twitch both. I do gotta crack down on the music on YouTube though. So if you were interested in that it’ll still be on twitch, but non music runs of all the streams will be on YT, as well as the vod will stay up on YouTube too.
Will still 100% be trying to post at least 5 vids a week though. Just gives me a chance to slow down a little and avoid running out of ideas quickly, while still keeping a nice streak alive for me to stay motivated.

Considering dropping a vid detailing a set of badge +1/+2 loadouts for my 6’8 on 2k26, and curious if you guys actually care to see such a thing?

We’re still in that part of the year where I don’t wanna put out what I deem to be “mid” videos or concepts, but this year I do wanna make sure I’m in it for the long haul. If a vid like this is interesting enough to y’all I’d be down to post it. Just be real with me 💪🏼

Almost reaching that tears of joy moment again 😂 I’m really so happy right now. I can’t believe we have a game this enjoyable, as close to 2k17 enjoyment as I’ve ever got, and to experience this as a big youtuber instead of some kid on his hungry beginning, it truly just feels great to experience it.
It makes me feel really great that I’ve got so much love and respect from my viewers for the time I’ve been putting into discovering things, and also for even still supporting the gameplay vids this far as well. I’m glad to have my hunger still here, and I’m nowhere near done yet.
So excited for this year of content. I’m going to make the most of it 100%

There’s been a lot of talk dismissing the importance of the builder in terms of how it shapes the foundation of a 2k. Do y’all agree that gameplay significantly outweighs the builder in terms of being a pillar of how the game is played?

I view them both as a Yin and Yang. Equal value, and influences the game in different ways.

The same way you could say taking 2k20’s builder and putting it into nba 2k25 would make things even more of a disaster, I take 2k20 builder and put it into 2k21 next gen gameplay and believe that would’ve made the game better.

Overall, both those above points are to express the importance of the builder IMO. And there’s even worse, and better experiments you could theory craft for what would make the best combo and the worst combo.
But some people believe the builder holds ZERO influence on determining the way the game is played.
Let me know what you think. Feel free to disagree with me, or others. Keep it respectful to each other in the comments though please and let’s have a solid debate here or just state your opinions for others to see :)

What’s up guys. Long time no see, I know, and I’m sorry for that. Truth be told I’m pretty ashamed at how I’ve moved in terms of my hunger in 2k24-25. Can’t really lean on excuses and stuff of that nature, so I don’t wanna toot my horn of how hungry I am for 26. I’ll just do my typical thing of how I usually move on launch, and hope I can do better in Dec-April this time.

ANYWAY, I’m not here to make a big deal of it. What I’m actually coming here to post is that the community has got really toxic on Twitter for 2k IMO. It’s an environment I don’t really care for, people spouting their extremely opinionated stuff on the ethics of how the game should be played. Thought to myself I kinda wanna bring my thoughts here. Ima give it a try, see how it goes, and what kinda community we foster on these lil YouTube posts 😂 idk, who knows. But I do know I wanna protect my energy now, and this might be a cooler way to interact with y’all. So ima give it a go and see what it ends up like.

Lil update for anyone wondering what I *have* been up to in the meantime. I watched all of Naruto, that was great! I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Rivals. Probably too much for that matter lol. Hit Celestial 1 on Console, made too many different accounts, played on PC as well 😂 I must say, that game feels like it’s honed a “handling chaos” trait in me. 2k feels so simple and non chaotic in comparison.

Besides that, I’m trying to take a real hard shot at getting my fitness right. All this may sound like I’ve found some peace in the meantime away from 2k and it’s true I have. But honestly, I don’t think life is meant to be lived in this constant 5/10 happiness state I’m in right now.
The ups and downs are the fun. Truth be told, those moments you experience in the gutter make the ones you’re standing on pedestals feel really good. And I’m also realizing that those moments on top don’t need to be glamorized by yourself to others. The truth is not a lot of people wanna see you win in reality, and you can only hope to leave a mark on someone in a positive and authentic way enough make ‘em wanna root for you. I think to be someone like that you gotta want the best for others too, and not wish anything otherwise for anyone, regardless of how they might hope things go for you.

So, this is me saying ima try my best to be someone you wanna root for if I wasn’t already :) I’m ready to lock in here soon.

I’ll have a vid tomorrow on how to get the “Workout Warrior” AKA gym rat. So just be patient doing your workouts tomorrow if you’ve been someone doing them at the deadline every week since the game came out.
Since I had the early access as part of the early community tip off I was able to get it a day in advance. So I’ll have good methods for those of you who have been trying to complete it, or for those of you who wanna start tue journey toward it tomorrow.

I’m gonna be on 2k25 tomorrow morning, and I won’t be streaming, but I’ll be getting EVERYTHING prepared for you guys in terms of labbing animations, fixing details about builds after learning what animations are good, what their requirements are.
Gonna be rapid firing uploads on the 3rd here. Stay tuned 💪🏼 I’ll try and hook you up before you create your own build on the 4th!

What up fellas, I just returned to 2k and will be on it for a few more weeks, but I wanted to at least let some of you guys know that I will be creating some content on College Football 25 when it comes out on the 16th.
This will be the first time I ever post ANYTHING other than 2k seriously, so. I know some of you will get disgruntled and unsub, that’s just how this goes, but I hope most of you can bare with me on it, I will be back for 2k25 news and launch FULLY as I’m sure you already expected 😂
But college football looks SO good, and I’ve had a love for football even deeper than basketball, but I’ve just never overcome the fear that it’ll hurt my channel more than help it if I did commit to posting it, even for a short time.
But I’m too old to be so concerned about that stuff anymore 😂 I’m gonna do it cause I think it’ll be fun for me, and fun for some of you.
I wanna do things like a 1 Star only franchise, or the hardest Road To Glory (career mode) possible as well, and planning to stream some of these ideas and keep them up as videos.
I hope I commit to this as much as I’m wanting to right now, so I do appreciate those of you who will be willing to support even if it’s not your niche you’re interested in, and I know some of you already are interested! So ima do my best to keep it entertaining and informal same way we do with 2k!

Lost my Aunt Tammy a few days ago, she was like a 2nd mother to me and my brother, and it’s been a lot to handle. Really sudden and unexpected, so I’m trying to be there for my mom handling responsibilities, while also handling my own grieving of losing one of my closest people of my whole life, as well as supporting my mom losing her life long partner of her sister. She was so special to so many people in our group, and the best person I knew. Cared so much for the world, and others. A true environmentalist who wanted so much great for the world, and it makes me ask a lot of angry questions at the world, like how it could possibly be in a plan or destiny to take someone like her so soon.
As well as it’s made me reflect on the person I am, or want to be.
Her loss will motivate me to be even better to my family, but also to others outside of my direct love. If there’s one thing of the many that I’d like to manifest and learn to be like her, it’s to see the best in everyone, and not be so judge mental or negative as I have been in my recent years.

There’s so much more I could say, but unfortunately, words on my little keyboard here don’t do enough Justice. But I do have a lot of love for you guys, and I hated to leave you hanging so long, and may continue to for a bit, but just wanted to let you guys know that I won’t be posting for a bit, but when I do come back, I want to be my positive former self. It won’t be super long. And I’ll come back in a better head space than ever. But I will also be focused up on other things like my own physical grind, or being more available to my family.
Long story short, I didn’t wanna leave y’all hanging. But also, I need my time.
