Fortnite

I apparently posted this in the A&N thread and not this one without noticing somehow, so I'm just gonna copy/paste it here.

I haven't gotten vader to say anything yet, but it's been a bitch to get him because people keep landing every match and then if you beat him they zoop in and talk with him making it so you can't talk to him even if you kill them before they go in your portal that YOU made because it apperently glitches when that happens.

He's definitely lobotomizeda bit, most of his talk was just like telling me we should focus on things and forgetting we're not in a tie fighter after I land it. Literally everything he says is either a question or some kind of slight insult but the insults are funny as canned as they feel sometimes. Got the vibe of "he wants to say the n word but they won't let him". I asked him about various diseases and he just kept framing it like I was espousing a morbid fascination with bioweapons that was confusing him. I'd be like "what if you got cancer would that be messed up or what" or some other shit like that and it'd always get the same fucking response lmao. First time I hired him though he kept telling me where enemies were, it was kinda cool. neat how the chatbot responds to game stuff even if it is pasted onto a normal npc hire.

It looks like the Judge is ordering Apple to stop fucking around and let Fortnite back on the App Store.

How did the most serious challenge to Apple's dominance in the marketplace come from fucking Fortnite of all things.

Tim Cook is standing over Steve Jobs' gravestone right now (designed by Jony Ive out of unibody aluminum) and you guys just want to install Fortnite! How disrespectful! Steve Jobs died for our sins!

I wonder.

That was closer to a little over 10 years ago than 20 and iirc was like one of the last things before the disney buyout but yeah.

Oh god I just realized since it's 2025 all the star wars movies before the sequel trilogy are over 20 years old now so I have an excuse to send the funny moments compilations of both movies.... one of them being 9 years ago now... FUCK.

@RefurbishedApparatus I forgot to bring this up but the times I did get the vader chatbot he did refer to specific things involving the skin I was using. Didn't try the star wars ones yet but back when I sent the initial message about stuff he was referring to things. It seems to do it for a LOT of fortnite skins and treats them as if they are the character. For instance, I've seen videos where people are wearing a midas skin and he's talking about actual lore shit involving the actual character on occasion. Saw comments somewhere that if you have jar jar skin on he just constantly calls you a fool and if you have a vader skin on he keeps calling you "imposter". he seems to glitch out a bit with palpatine from what I've seen even though I don't got the skin yet because he'll be calling you emperor but then occasionally calling you apprentice when he should be saying master probably.
 
I really should try and go for Darth Vader myself at some point; I've got a rather poor experience with AI teammates for the most part, but the voice response thing sounds amusing. Curious as to how he'd react to some of my main skins.

Too bad that it's likely everyone in the lobby will be going for him constantly, because people are obsessed with memes and such. Also doesn't help that this season is even shittier in terms of balance.
 
Hey Epic maybe you can stop making all the skins black women and/or chinks or black men. It feels like Fortnite chase tends or copy when they used to be the trendsetter, which is sad. Now it's just Fortnite x collab, hey, I bought Frieza admittedly, but the game feels solely dependent on it. Remember that fucking My Hero Crapademia one...

jar jar binks is your savior, he's not a black woman or a chinaman/black man. He's a fucked up amphibian creature that spawned many memes for his entire fucking wretched existence.

UTTINI!
BLAM!

Edit: I got jarjar standard version before he left shop with the crew vbucks. I'd have gotten the evil one but fortnite REALLY REALLY likes forcing you to buy things individually int he shop lately and I don't got money for that shit to get the full character loadout.

Well, that event was a buggy, pointless mess. Epic built all these beautiful Death Star environments only to have us sprint through them to the next story point. The Palpatine fight at the end was pretty funny when he's deflecting thousands of shots and just spazzing out with the lightsaber.

The Star Wars season was.. okay. But I'm really glad its over. Time for SUPERHEROES!

I set alarms so i'd be there early, got like "unknown matchmaking error, try again later" so I restarted the game, and then my console shut off. After it turned back on it had the next seasons pic as the thumbnail and after trying to restart the game it did the same thing again, and then said "the database is corrupted" As in my whole console. Yes I play on console fuck no I'm not touching the epic games launcher. I've seen like 1 or 2 other stories online that follow the exact same line of events which makes me even more pissed and disappointed.

At least I got to use the funny jawa gun as emperor palpatine, the final evolved form of jawa. running around crouch walking and shooting people was an experience. I even got to mess with vader a few more times since the hype for the chatbot died down.

I was going to buy Darth Jar Jar but some error made it impossible to unlock even after having all the XP required.
They really need to make the UI and other menus less of a fucking shitfest.

So, how's the new season working out for everyone? I've played a bit myself, got a Victory on the main BR map; frankly, the map and guns do feel solid this go around, though to be fair I'm not exactly that difficult to please. I will say that it feels like I've got a lot more stamina in-game now, though; not sure if I'm just imagining things or what, but I found I was able to run a lot farther/faster overall. Haven't done too much with the superpowers as of yet; there's one that allows you to see opponents through walls, though an attentive/savvy player can spot and triangulate the user's position from the green data field that emanates from them, so...

I will say that there seems to be some stronger/better players in-game now, though; just barely won a match that got all the way to the final circle, which is insane. To be fair, the other guy seemed obsessed with superpower spam, to where he never even used a gun; aside from the "see through walls" ability, he also kept trying to use the soundwave one to knock me into the storm... which didn't work out too well for him. Unfortunately, it looks like the superpowers are going to be replacing the melee weapons as the "annoying shit everyone tries to grab for easy wins" button this season, though it at least looks like they're easier to counter right now. Will probably end up changing that opinion later, though.

Going to try and get a win in OG Season 4 next; get the umbrella. Might drop an update depending on how that ends up going, who knows?

EDIT: Won a match on OG Season 4; can confirm, aside from the changes to two areas, the only thing that's changed is that players have gotten even more sweaty.

Melee weapons could have been a little less annoying if players were allowed to block melee attacks with their harvesting tool imo.
