Another week, another SIFU mod and this one is making me wonder why we haven't gotten a single player Tekken experience. They should definitely get on that!

Perfect character for Sifu

It's pretty cool that Randy Orton is into gaming when he's not hitting people with RKO's. Good luck on becoming Elden Lord sir. 

8hrs by bus. I’m playing Elden Ring and celebrating myself. I had to take a bathroom break, so I decided to check up on Elon, and first thing I saw was your comment. I felt inclined to respond, so I did. Now I’m going to go back to slaying Demi-gods and absorbing their runes. 🐍 https://t.co/9eLpDirf7m

Bring back Crude Dudes! I kind of want this on a t-shirt now. 

a game notable for one of the most inspired localization choices of 1990 - being released in english as Two Crude Dudes https://t.co/oNltJxRV7f pic.twitter.com/kiJPwL2n4K

WWE is known for changing wrestlers' names to prety outlandish stuff but this time it sounded too much like an Elden Ring stat not to include here.

Weekend Vibes

I was in my feels a bit this weekend and Giveon knows how to provide a soundtrack for some serious emotions. Catch his new video here:

Keeping the vibe going, Kehlani's new project is one I've been meaning to check out and this is certainly a stand-out. 

I hope the end of the month is going fantastic for you all and thanks for reading. If you need some good energy going into Sunday, consider swiping on a few cute pet photos on Shackpets. See you again next week!
