Save The World mode is why I was initially interested in the game. I remember when it was first announced and THAT is what the game was going to be. Then they released it as a pay to get access game but said they were going make it free and I have been waiting for that ever since. But it doesn’t seem like they have…

Yup, it’s also paid, which is why Battle Royale is far more popular as there’s no entry threshold. You can just download it - on just about any platform by now.

So, for quick clarification: Save The World is what Fortnite was originally designed to be, right? A horde mode with classes and defenses and escalating challenges wave by wave?

I like that they painted themselves into a corner. It’s not like you can play the decendant of a historical figure who was gay and never had children. How else are you going to relive their genetic memories?

Except these characters are “ancestors”, which implies they had coitus with opposite sex. So not exclusively gay, no.

Particularly in a game series that has hinged explicitly on DNA and biological ancestry. 

Weirdly, of all people, Pewdiepie covered this in a video. It’s apparently a bit of a gimmick the players do for each other and sometimes make donations pretending to be somebody else, to them selves. No payments are actually made. 

This dude really makes his girlfriend work full time for him so he can play fortnite. She needs to break up with him. That's just wrong. 🤦‍♂️

“career as a Fortnite streamer”

“girlfriend has worked full time to support my caree....” for fuck sake.

If he was that finacaly troubled why didn’t he pick up a day job? I get wanting to make your dream job real but at some point, and that point is not after having a kid, you need to make it a side project and not the main income if it isn’t working out quite yet.

“My girlfriend has worked full-time to support my career as a Fortnite streamer, so I owe it to her and my four-year-old son...”

Yeah that’s gonna be a yikes from me.

I’m not trying to state that representation and diversity being built into a story is political not at all. I apologize if that is the feeling that i conveyed in my original post. The only reason i am “not interested” is merely the fact that honestly, I don’t know anybody who is LGBTQ or NB. Not by choice or anything,…

I understand wanting to be reflected in the media we consume. I’m of a mixed heritage and don’t really look like anything specific, I used to get a lot more of “what ARE you” questions, though that’s died down as I get older.

“Blackness is defined through a series of cultural markers, among them dark skin, broad noses, and kinky hair, as well as a shared cultural history of freedom from bondage. Broadly, you could define blackness as the diaspora of people displaced from Africa through the slave trade, though that doesn’t account for…

Opting out of reviews and not having forums is a huge fuck you to consumers. I know they can be toxic but they are also how numerous developers have been pressured to actually fix their games. Taking away consumer voices is not good thing,  just because someone somewhere at some point maybe had their feelings hurt.

Yup.  I’ve got a 16 Canyon and its probably close to the size of your F150.  

Couldn’t you have mentioned to the rest of the team that the front end is FUGLY?

The pickup truck market has completely lost it’s mind. Driving my 1999 F-150, I feel like I’m in an MG.
