ACT 2 ITEMS & GAMEPLAY REVEALED

JESS (STW) APPEARS ON SHOWDOWN ACT II's PROMO 👀

A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him. For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25. Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely. Here's where it gets interesting. In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past. Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him. Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it. Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube. He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium. Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius. They're both wrong. It was a receipt. He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine. The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.

the best way to call out a lurker is to put them on stream Tomorrow changes everything for streamers!

I think the weirdest thing about live streaming is you can go from thinking your friends with someone to them deleting and leaving everything to do with you out of nowhere! Life goes on and be careful who you hold close! live streaming is a strange af place! 😂😂

new concept: reverse retirement i do what i want until i'm 60 and then get a shitty desk job for the rest of my life

thank you. chromakopia

You can literally have the worst week of your life and then a few days later, life becomes so beautiful again and you feel happier than ever. Remember this when you're going through a rough patch. It will pass. Give it time. God is on your side.

Being an adult feels like, “If I can just get through this week, I’ll be okay.” But it’s every damn week😭😭

When I left full time streaming to work for Meld I always knew we were going to change the streaming space. This week we're releasing the first feature to really make it a reality.

Only a matter of time until Laufey's Icon Skins are revealed 👀

everyone under 25: take care of your body. once you surpass 25, your body is not as resilient. you can no longer eat hot cheetos and pull all nighters like you used to. take vitamins, drink your water, rest, make doc appointments. life is too hectic to not be healthy.

Let’s organize for a 4-day workweek. What petition do we need to sign? I’m ready. I can’t keep living like this. I’m ready to join the fight.

Let’s be honest: - Saturday is the only true weekend day - Friday belongs to work - Sunday already belongs to Monday we’ve been scammed
