i mean there's vtubers with romhack playthroughs on youtube all the time and i'm pretty sure we've got FAQs on romhacks here on this very site. pretty sure the issue is never the playing of the romhack and more so the distribution of it. nobody's getting in trouble for owning a pirated game, they're getting in trouble for sharing a pirated game

interesting case of a new cover/genre swap, initially this was titled as being an 80s rock song and all comments rightfully went nope, this is 00s rock. title changed shortly after and i think the comment that said this sounds like it'd be out of Raw is on point. maybe used in some kind of video package, even:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gFKREP3gPg

the fact that the title initially said 80s makes me wonder what it got trained on/prompted to get since there's a pretty notable gap between the decades.

i wouldn't go that far with it but it's weaker than most of the rest yeah.
still better than 6 that only gets salvaged because of one character being insane.

that's not derailing at all, if anything it's more in line with my stuff. so i'll give an example to help out, a channel that's done music covers and has a female vocalist:

FalKKonE, with Rena.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un8KYOf6x9U

predates all the AI stuff, so that's not relevant. i'm bringing this example to say that what you're asking for is very much so possible. and other artists online do exist, like ado, who blows away so much of what exists that it ain't even funny.

looking at the Aria Channel, this line is really important:
"Aria is now a record label releasing music for artists Ghostly,Trueheart, Prophet..."

and a quick check says that it's "Artist - Song" format. so in this case, your fave song is by NeonVerse. each person there is going to be different and each is releasing on this channel. now the cynical side would say it's a couple guys who have put together certain voice modules to make it work, that none of those artists are "real" but that they're all essentially in-house Vocaloid packs for lack of a better example. oh you wanna run Miku, cool. wanna run Ren or Luka, cool. hopefully that's clear in what i mean. even on this cynical front there's gotta be some creative element in that you wanna make this character run this song.

the less cynical side is more complicated because that means those people do exist, like a circle of friends or whatever who know what tools to use and are adjusting things accordingly to fit their character. that's cooler of an idea, like they just got a discord where they talk about what they could do to improve how the AI is interpreting the music and they're making a couple adjustments before release. this also would be okay with the speed of releases on the channel and any differences you might find; some might be more AI than others.

i don't think it has no humanity, especially because we can hear the NeonVerse voice improve drastically over a year's time. your most hopeful answer is "a real person sang this then ran it through the voice" and any improvements are a combination of the real person first, then AI later. essentially super autotune. i don't know what's true of all of them but this seems possible for that one in particular. the lyrics being whatever is, well, yeah generated with a couple prompts of "I want this kind of feel, this kind of theme." but that improved quite a bit too; odds are it's a little of column A, little of column B here: the tech improved a lot but so did the person, as well as the person's usage of said tech.

this could all be cope, don't get me wrong. but if the channel's telling the truth about that one line then i think odds are good it's not all AI, you've got some user input and possibly some user filters going through.

oh yeah, i now found a third channel using Soul on stuff.

this time to Gangsta's Paradise:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6a0xzUjIhw

smaller channel than the other two but good song pick. but if there's this many then
okay, somebody definitely tweaked a system to allow this to be doable more. within the last... 2 weeks? that seems to be the uptick. so one of the many programs updated in the past month to allow this to be done way easier.

i think you could tell the difference in a club because the voice is too robotic. it looks like that channel basically has a few voice modules that they then use for certain songs, think Vocaloid conceptually. NeonVerse is one, that's who Dante linked to, but you can compare to how she sounds 6 days ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjIUvrKXKA8

most of what Para said remains true but it's way better. listen to the difference in voice: WAY less robotic in the new one, the words are less choppy, words flow better with the rhythm, there's more emphasis on certain letters - the way she says "memories" 20s in for a good example. the production feels more slick too.

that's what i mean when i say it depends on when you hear something. the one Dante linked i could tell pretty much immediately, this one i'd hesitate because the voice is more dynamic and "human-like". in a club i wouldn't know at all. clearly the person in charge of this character/voice is improving too but the tech jump is a big part of it.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to tell if a song is AI generated? I sometimes find songs on Youtube that I really like but unless the artist is well known or it outright says it's AI, I think it's kind of spooky that I legitimately can't be sure anymore.

in addition to everything people have said, it'll honestly depend a lot on when the song was made too. if we go back roughly 3 years it was very robotic and obvious but if you do 2 years, we've already gone through all the major packs that led to the rise of stuff like Trump/Biden/Obama singing songs, Spongebob, South Park, etc. that time period basically went that if you tuned things just the right way, you could get something quite believable and honestly, quite good and unique out (see: Plan Z). there's been improvements since then but it's more quiet than the big releases like Sora 2. if they're using more recent tech the tells will be harder, especially if there's fine tuning. think of it like a paper - most people at this point are using AI for a mix of research, outline structure, or writing itself and then adjusting the rest. that goes from anything from middle school to grad, it's fully in academia at this point. if 50-70% is AI produced, it's trying to spot the remaining that's human adjusted. ironically, some adjustments are also made with AI, taking a section and then making it sound more like something else ("make this more casual" for writing, "make this sound more like 80s electronica" for music).

basically any advice now is gonna talk about the tech of now ideally but you might get answers that are already outdated. and anything said here will be outdated within a year easily.

I had fun with AI slop songs for a few days. But then I decided to actually write the lyrics to a song myself and have the AI perform it and it was so much more memorable and likable than all the other slop songs. Never looked back since then.

oh for sure that's the ideal. you should try recording yourself singing the song too then run that through a few voices that are close to yours. you might be able to train yourself a bit that way, the AI can give you an idea of what you could theoretically do and even if you can't hit that, it's a good goal to strive through on a target that is much more clear, without having to do major hurdles on pitch changes yourself.

Mobilezoid posted...

I guess if you have a few minutes Wang, can you give me your expert opinion on this song? This song with less than 1000 views is, without exaggeration, my favorite song ever. That won't change if it is AI generated, but it bugs me that I don't know.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Sp8-R5Oe2f8

yeah... honestly the whole thing is probably AI. pic is for sure, the voice is for sure (and honestly not done well, it's very robotic still), the instrumentation is, the arrangement is, the lyrics are. looking at the rest of the channel i don't think they're hiding it either, i'm seeing a Miku, Black Rock Shooter, it's pretty clear. also the sheer speed of stuff being released is a good key factor as to what's going on. the most recent song (Crystalline Dusk) has some pretty noted improvements in what they're doing but that's a combination of better prompting and better tech, compare the voices and you'll see she's not as robotic sounding. but compare the structure and you'll see it's very, very similar. that said, if you played the latest track publicly nobody would bat an eye.

Nightcore is gonna be a pretty vulnerable genre because it was already using a lot of audio tweaks and pitching to get there. those tend to be exactly the things you want to hide with AI voices.

...man and this topic's timing is on point.

good position they're taking, while also pointing out how this is already in too deep within every field.

but even if that's the case, easy answer is you don't have to be here.

oh yeah, this one from chat music 2 is good too. band was laughing at the comments too so no need to feel bad~

Okay, you're doing an LMS-ish bit, I understand now

simpler than that.
i like this stuff.
i've made multiple topics about it over the years.
i'll keep posting about it because it's a neat bit of organization.

oh and how could i forget one of the best AI music ones out there: chat music

https://www.youtube.com/@chat.m
https://www.youtube.com/@chat.m2

the original channel and his spinoff, that is. the copycats are fucking awful. the premise is simple enough: go into a video or post (IG, youtube, twitch clip, etc), go through the comments, grab some that are funny and might make sense with what you've got in mind (story or melody), make a song out of those lyrics with AI. realistically yes, you do need an edge and dark humor to make this kind of thing works, shock value and ribbing are all part of the deal.

only Chat Music has gotten that right. due to how simple it is, copycats sprung up like weeds afterwards. problem is they 1) suck at grabbing lines, 2) suck at presenting the lines, 3) suck at making it musical. even when they outright stole the BG music used in the main channel, they can't do any of those 3. probably the clearest instance of no, you've gotta actually know what you're doing still because there's an art to putting it together properly. and he's gotten better at it too! longer songs, some have a chorus, a bridge, and the second channel plays with multiple genres.

rhyming with "even"

for an idea of original channel.
secondary channel, with new genres:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqeD1dlYJdI
(pun wise this is one of the best and it's amusing how it's totally not consistent region-wise but hey, it works)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DWfq0Z5hOs
(wanted a solid electronica one)

but hey, next channel, also in the same field as the opening post.

new AI:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71QH33IMGn8

original:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csKtqYgnGHc

think that's the best one so far out of the ones almost real has. like the AI version more than the original too. he's trying to expand to a few other genres but it's not working as well, some rock can be okay, 2000s R&B is simply too close that you get a notable uncanny valley feel still and it doesn't feel like much of a genre shift, probably because he doesn't really get what that genre has exactly besides some key standard elements.

novelty after long enough time becomes very normalized and part of everyday life. hell, a lot of art made by people uses AI nowadays too, and i don't mean just the image generated stuff with a couple extra prompts to adjust what you want. i'm meaning multiple functions built into photoshop that have, over the past 2-3 years, expanded enormously to what it could do for the number of clicks of what you wanted it to do. it's photo editing so there was also some element of changing what's there, removing things, image corrections, etc but now all that's streamlined to do way more. now, if anybody's using that? it isn't uncommon for at least some of the work to have been AI assisted, even if it's as simple a case of remove item -> make the new background make sense. all that assisted by (what should honestly be illegal) bullshit done where they can snoop around, of course. the "novelty" of AI is going to be built into things so much that people won't actually realize it's AI they're using. at that point, you're fully through the looking glass and we're pretty close to it on a couple fields. give it 2-3 more years, tops.

My favorite ever description of AI slop was said recently by Zelda Williams when people kept sending her deepfakes of Robin Williams

...yeaaah... no. the idea of sending her deepfakes of her dad is pretty awful. desecration of the dead for a thumbs up is pretty much stuck on the internet too long behavior, with that unfortunately being a good two generations deep, well on its way for a third.

speaking of which, paul walker's estate does not feel that way about him clearly. >_>

No one creates anything. The "AI" mangles together shit that was already created and gives the user what it expects them to want. None of the content is inherently original at all. There is no creativity because the program is not capable and the human is asking for things that already exist.

in the examples i've specifically mentioned, you're wrong. we saw in real time the Cartman voice get steadily tweaked bit by bit and even had a video with all the audio adjustments being made - this was a bit over 2 years ago so the voices hadn't yet been perfected with the voice packs. if you wanted things to sound just right, you often did need to manually tweak a few settings, change a few voices around, make it work for you. goal of course being, "sound as much like Cartman would if he was singing this."

Boi What is by far the best example of a creative type using this. he actually does do the instrumentation and composition, that was his actual job before all this. the dude had already been producing metal songs and he mainly used AI for the voice of Plankton. by that i mean, he's singing the song then he runs it through Plankton voice packs. that though is also fits what he's doing lyrically as he's making a weird dark Spongebob lore in addition to being pretty meta about how AI is taking over. there might also be a few more things he's using AI for within the creation process but this is something he's made at least a partial living on before the AI boom and still does occasionally. easily the standout artist using this.

in the case of the genre shift, i don't know. we haven't seen the process yet or have had it made clear what's going on. it could, in theory, just be a series of prompts to get the exact effect he's looking for. it could also be him doing something similar to Boi What - singing the actual parts then running it through filters, getting an idea of what kind of composition you want it to be first then using it. at least one of those is likely and that's all part of the creative process. for true AI slop garbage, that's easily found and the audio still sucks. videos don't make sense, a lack of consistency, etc. but you can't make something like this work without, well, doing work.

uh, you clearly didn't read that because it's the human creativity by using it that's different. the tool makes its slop, the person changes and creates new things in addition to said slop. new thing is created.

i don't get what's hard about the question so i probably am not the AI fanboy you're referring to. i stand by the best usage of AI - outside of mechanical purposes like being an extremely advanced search and organization tool - is it as a tool to inspire more creativity in humans, not to replace them outright. using AI to switch genres or be used to tell a musical story isn't just "AI" it's a very, very human element perfecting their art. it's ignoring copyright and all that yeah, but it's still something they could create.

that's why it's the most enjoyable and impressive. like you didn't just run the tool and it did all the work, you painstakingly went through it to adjust certain sections too so it's not "too robotic" or to add a certain feel or flair. will AI reach a point that can fix those little touches, maybe. but i assume that'll lead to creative types to go "know what, i can do something else here" and create something entirely different again.

mind you will it replace people, absolutely. the closer it gets to that rule of 80/20 in any field the more jobs get lost and harder it will be for current artists. future ones will have it as part of their toolset naturally.

it's gonna keep getting worse for spotify because there's gonna be a point where it's not clear what's AI. especially if there's significant user input (see again, Boi What's stuff) and AI is used for a couple things.

i do kinda like the idea posted earlier - this one

idk if this guy is cool or a dick or what but i enjoyed this video about putting inaudible stuff in songs that fucks with ai algorithms trying to copy it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMYm2d9bmEA

but what you're gonna ultimately reach is the point where music will have built-in DRM within each MP3/FLAC and i like that future a hell of a lot less. it, ironically, will be made much easier through the use of AI. but for this method's pretty cool.

Just watch Mac Glocky videos instead. Dude it's a genius and knows how to reimagine songs in a variety of styles.

well yeah, he and Anthony Vincent have done a lot for that field. if you wanna go more Swing/Jazz/Blues Postmodern Jukebox is again the one i'd recommend the most - most famously they're the channel with Haley Reinhart singing Creep in a way that is arguably better than the original.

and if you go from there you'll run into the Halocene universe where a couple people played with covers (especially Violet with acoustic tracks) but i mean... yeah, i think point is i totally hear their stuff and love the work here too.

next one, two of my personal favorites from a bit over 2 years ago and i'm not sure i've heard many better uses of Plankton:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo4U_bDugNo

the way he pulls that voice off is shockingly good. first time hearing that made me go 'holy shit it ain't just metal and rock?' that module's got emotion in it. or, well, enough voice clips to mimic that sound, especially by the end.

then from roughly that same time period, this gem with Patrick (AI cover of a cover that just works):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V8JpaTqxMk

particularly love the distinct differences between the voices and the way the song is sung. Plankton's angry, Patrick is depressed. but the original cover doesn't have that. it's just one guy, not a duet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txmOrvt5X4E

yet it's distinctively different.

and again these were over two years ago. i think Boi What's gonna have one of the best chronological timelines of the improvement of AI vocals and work though the man himself is also busting his ass to get better.

....huh? how is it inherently a partisan issue? i've been liking AI covers for years now, fuck off with that. i like the usage of it to creatively change things that i already know or, even better, to create new things with it. i'm also blown away by the improvements to vocals over time and just how good it can be. ain't nothing paritsan about that last i checked, i like the tech and am fascinated by it because it's fascinating.

so, more covers! again, going back two years. this one went through multiple revisions where he sounded too robot-y

and then butters

I don't know if you actually do realize that

if people wanna give shit they can.
and i can simply then just use the topic to fill it with things i like. either leave and ignore it because you don't like the content or get angry for no good reason.

Forceful_Dragon posted...

but keep it the fuck out of the arts.

i'll disagree with this because i don't see why it should be kept out of any field at all.
it's through the arts where it finds its mainstream window where people "understand" what it can do. if it's kept to just science, medicine, military, and industrial areas then it'll just seem like random secret magic; this way people can see what it does, how it does it, and how to produce it for fun. seeing how insane videos can look or how completely different music can become? that's important for everyone to be able to see.

and if you can enjoy it cool. if it's fun, cool. and if you wanna be creative, nothing's stopping you. that's just the competition so train with it because again, there ain't no way of putting this genie back in.

i mean, i realize that now sure. wasn't a problem with Neon Tide or Plan Z which is roughly the last time i remember bringing AI covers/songs up, so it's a notable shift. similar concept, just a bit over two years ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16bbD1LfG54

and that thing charted on billboards. since then he's gotten even more creative:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9yKKVKfLRc

song is longer, more breakdowns, his actual voice is in there (kudos to the improvement), and an absolute banger. big difference between them of course, we know Boi What is actually producing it all then adding the filter later. we don't know what the professor's doing with his stuff yet, the specifics of what's produced or manually tweaked aren't known on that. and then before that we had all the Carman mixes too, where all adjustments would be seen in video to boot.

Chaeix posted...

you do realize engaging with content creates the feedback loop that results in more content being created right

yes.
and it's engaged a million times faster than any way i can do and i mean that with zero exaggeration. this channel alone gets tens of thousands of views, Bio What's work with Spongebob AI voices gets millions of views; a pebble on a runaway train has a better chance of stopping it than all of us combined here of slowing down the rapid growth AI has by even an inch. the content is engaged with to such a degree that you can't really understate it. at the pace we're going it'll make up more internet usage than torrenting was in its prime, if not already there.

You say this like it's a good thing

from Luigi singing My Way to Plankton's voice literally charting the Billboards, we're up to full on genre conversions. there's work in the latter two for sure but just how much and what's left, that's unclear.

everyone's been focused on Sora 2 lately because it is, frankly, insane. or they're focused on AI having self preservation already installed, for a terrifying future.

but somewhere lost in all this continues the craze of AI being used in music by regular people. latest greatest thing i've seen: this man's channel
https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealMrProfessor318/videos

he's gotta be doing some of the instrumentation himself, similar to the way Boi What does his Plankton/Spongebob stuff. but just how much is AI and how much is being produced? that's the hard part, like the chorus is clearly going to be AI but does he set the melody? unknown. but a few examples:

AI is being used to transfer genres so well that it's baffling. first time i ran into it i had a giant "WTF is this" and now i'm like "oh hell yeah new banger". like usually i'd go to Postmodern Jukebox for this kinda stuff but now we've got AI to do this.

looking at the subscription model ultimately it looks like a lot of people who had Ultimate can basically downgrade to Premium with no real loss of value (if anything it saves money) unless they desperately wanted Day 1 games. and PC just went up by a few bucks which... still makes sense, and they still get the Day 1. those seem to be the only models that might be worth it, Ultimate at $30/m is way too much and the basic version is too basic.

King Midas
Ebeneezer Scrooge
Mr. Krabs
Larfleeze (DC Comics)

so Larfleeze isn't as well known as the others but he is literally the greediest man in the entirety of DC Comics. his ring is literally the ring of avarice and represents an entire lantern corps.

honestly, it's still well worth the value if you wanna play games like this - cloud gaming especially. so i can't fault anything here, this is still severely underpriced for value you get, it's a price hike of something that was always a starting price to begin with and they kept it for a very, very long time.

yep, they ditched Cartman as Kirk.
gives credit to the idea that yeah, last week they basically had an episode planned out, Kirk got shot, and then they went "uhhhh we can't do this one."

dunno if they're gonna go back to that plot later but probably the right move.

social boards are probably closer to 40 than 30.

i mean while Cena's said he doesn't pick his matches, it does look like Styles is a match he picked specifically. mind you, every time the name comes up the crowd reacts so it's not like it's in a vacuum. i just know that's one Cena has to do.

this does keep making me wonder who's left to retire Cena. is it Gunther? Owens is still injured so that's out, leaving... well, nobody else. it's not even like this is going on a ppv either, it's on saturday main event.

and the answer was "wait another week to find out."

oh it never crossed my mind that pirating security updates could even be a thing, lol. fair enough!

oh for sure, it goes hand in hand with just getting the OS in general like that. i just assume every major update that gets hit you can just find in a number of places. depending on how they do their paid EOL, i can even see keygens just update to having "Windows 10 Extended EOL" versions, or some other registry hack or something to just say "yes I'm legit now gimme." Microsoft doesn't really care, they're just desperately pushing people to 11 right now. personally i've got Windows 10 Pro so if i wanted to make the switch to Enterprise it's pretty easy but... i don't see much reason to yet.

MartinFF7 posted...

Just to be clear, is "get the updates that these versions get" referring to corporate versions of W10? because those require paid extended security updates too, there's no free updates anymore (unless i'm misunderstanding something). And the business licenses are treated separately since they've already committed to them lasting through 2028 vs 2026 for the consumer/home versions.

at the very least you should be able to find the major 2026 updates just fine with whatever you've got, Home or Pro. if you wanna get it through '28 then yeah you'd have to find a way to get an Enterprise key. how you do that is on you, whether it's through grey market shenanigans or the usual tools.

i think the main thing you might be misunderstanding is that i don't have issues with piracy, especially when it's dumb shit like this.

i mean windows 12 keeps being rumored because despite how it seems, Windows 11 has been around for 4 years now (2021) and has had some major changes. it's just that nobody wants to move to it. for perspective, 7 released in 2009 and 10 released in 2015. meaning within those 6 years we had Vista, 8, and 10 come out. currently, W10 is running on a decade of changes and it took 3 years for it to become the market leader over 7 (which finished its EOL in 2020). meanwhile W11 just became the market leader a few months ago.

in terms of underlying functions, it was actually last year when Microsoft updated that in a major way. so much so that its the last official version for Windows 11 SE, unless they change their mind with the upcoming one (which is possible as it appears these changes aren't too taxing). getting into the weeds here but 24H2 updated W11 to a newer system under the hood and the upcoming 25H2 is based on that system too. it's unknown what happens after that but it's entirely possible that 26H2 would be the last W11, setting the stage for 6 years between W11 and W12 and for the extended EOL to kick in. personally i just see that extension as their way of saying "yeah Windows 12 after this is done, Windows 11 will be done beta testing everything."

1) upgrade to win11 anyway using workarounds, risking incompatible updates/security flaws
2) pay for win10 "extended support" and assume my computer dies by '28
3) stay on unsupported win10 and risk getting 9999 viruses
4) switch to some kind of linux os with proton, which while leagues better than it used to be still seems imperfect and can become a huge hobby unto itself

no reason to get off W10 is the short answer. but going 1 by 1...

1) W11 is legit just plain worse so i don't bother with the idea of upgrading.

2) don't pay for shit because "extended use" is gonna keep being extended due to corporate usage still being mostly W10. worst case, just get the updates that these versions get.

3) you won't be getting 9999 virues because the thing being limited is Windows updates, not Windows Defender updates. these are completely independent companies internally i think XP still gets defender updates even, 7 absolutely does. so if there are W10 exploits known in the kernal or the OS somehow, yes that'll be a problem. yet as long as you aren't being dumb about it, shouldn't really be an issue and any major problems will be handled.

4) Linux Mint seems to be the most user friendly option and it looks pretty good. just note that the biggest issue Linux has honestly is that it doesn't work on every Wifi driver; if it's Intel you're probably fine, if it's not you might be needing an external USB for it.

like my answer honestly is the dirtier one - just find a way to "upgrade" your PC to a version that gets later EOL updates, or just so happen to aquire the ones until 2026 because... well, those will exist. and that's even if you're going to genuinely be concerned about it, any major W10 exploit will be reported on and fixed because most are still on it. personally i'd just say skip W11, wait for W12 which should follow the usual Microsoft roadmap of being 1000x better than the black sheep before it.

on the right there's been talks of kirk's opinion of israel. some after his death some were going "oh he was gonna double down on more support to israel!" and then everyone else just looks at all the recent things he's said and how he's grown more distant from the government, doesn't like what they're doing, and especially doesn't like how they're trying to pressure him. so somehow, in his death, kirk is being used as a prop there and it ain't flying to those who actually knew him.

it's a weird fucking response

honestly think it's more that they had cartman as charlie kirk in the season.
and after his death in this situation there's a lot of redoing everything.

I Don't Want to Live on the Moon

bold for emphasis on the best song.

....gonna be real interesting in what they do with cartman's new character now considering recent events.

stomp on a steel chair* to retain.
but yeah this makes it feel like they've finally gotten the OK to have AJ back for a bit.

looking at previous videos by wwe, last week's roast that cena had for logan paul was honestly one of his best.

genuinely a case where that 4th wall gets broken in a couple points that makes you go "hm?" because it's unusual as fuck to hear about ever. i mean, it's cena, he does what he wants. but he went in hard.

i think generally the first two mark a good generations and the last two mark everything to today. AoT was enormous and for a lot of people the first time they experienced a "serious anime." the music and visuals just put it over everything else for a good decade, which is to say yes, it lasted a whole fucking decade. that anime was 2013 and you still hear about people getting into it after it's ended. so for a good 10 year run yeah, AoT has to be here.

MHA is newer by a bit but ongoing too. just plain is the Bleach/Naruto of the modern era without any real competition as a long running shounen series goes besides something like One Piece.

Rampage Jackson's kid may have killed a guy at an Indy show last night.

Video is all over reddit, but it's one of the worst things I've seen happen in a ring.

Dude should be in jail. Everything before, during, and after was live streamed and there is zero ambiguity. He was trying to kill that guy.

looks like Stu's awake.
and yeah, Raja's gotta go to jail. not only is there no defense here, there's outright admission of assault and battery.
