Google’s legal defeat at the hands of Fortnite maker Epic Games threatens to roil an app store duopoly with Apple that generates close to $200 billion a year, and dictates how billions of consumers use mobile devices. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/12/12/companies/google-epic-defeat-app-store/?utm_content=buffer982b4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn

Smart technologists whom I otherwise respect: Game streaming will never work! Latency! It's just physics! Speed of light! Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb!

Me, with 45-year-old reflexes, having hardly gamed in my 20s or 30s: I don't know what to tell you, man. I played exactly three 100-player matches of tonight, all streamed ON WIFI, and came in 2nd (with 12 eliminations), 6th (with 17 eliminations), and 1st (with 9 eliminations). They've figured it out. It works.

Why the hell does Fortnite Festival give you all these guitars and shit when it's all pop and hip hop?

installed.

Load it up and I'm greeted by.....so many things. Seriously, it's more akin to a YouTube app than anything.

Without wishing to sound like an old man, I kind of miss the 'New Game, Load Game, Options' menu screen thank you very much.

Good morning and happy Saturday to all of you around the today.

Let's start our and discuss what we are all doing for the day and for the weekend.

For me, it's just video games mostly today. A bit of Lego Fortnite and some Diablo IV with friends.

Likely watch some TV shows with the wife and then just enjoy the weekend itself.

I spent most of my day yesterday playing the new Lego Fortnite that was released yesterday.

What a ton of fun this game is. It's a survival game, very similar to Minecraft, yet different in a lot of ways too.

I strongly suggest everyone to check it out, as it's not Fortnite related in any way other than you use Lego versions of the Fortnite skins.

Ok, three hrs or so of , and...

It's basically minecraft with a nicer general aesthetic but none of the quality of life stuff I'm sure minecraft has had for the last few years (certainly, Terraria does)

I don't love mixing lego aesthetic with others, tbh

Lego Fortnite is such a breath of fresh air. I've gotten so bored of just shooting people in the face. Having this cute open world to just build stuff in is just so much more my speed.

Don't get me wrong. I still like getting my pew pew on, but it's not my preferred main way I want to get XP.

I suspect I'll be spending most of my time with this season with the new game modes.

LEGOs in Fortnite is so fun! Feels more like DragonQuest Builders than Minecraft.. but still the same concept overall. So far a 9/10 for me.

Well, that might be it for me on . The big event is tonight, and after that the update to the next chapter. When they launched the "OG" season, I felt like a month was too short, but frankly now that we're at the end of it, I think this was exactly right.

There were rumors they might leave it around as a game mode, and I would be fine with that. And frankly, I hope they do it again (whether revisiting Chapter 1 or the others). But I'm ready to move on.

Gonna skip the Big Bang event tonight, too. Never stuck around for an in-game event I thought was worth it.

Good morning

Let's start our day off with our usual and find out what everyone is up to today.

For me, it's just a relaxing day today. We have a live Eminem event in Fortnite to end the chapter and the season and then it's into Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground.

Tell me about your day and the weekend ahead.

Haven't seen too many of these lately. Only the third of the OG season.
