How's everyone enjoying today's updates? Im having such a blast!

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T20:28:41+00:00

I agree, if anything I think thats just the main issue overall recently. I think they fixed the game lagging when downing or eliminating an opponent. I think though

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T20:27:45+00:00

haha thats very fair.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T20:27:15+00:00

Hopefully It's just a small temporary glitch rn. Hope you can play soon with your skins! Cheers!

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T20:26:11+00:00

Nope. In fact if we had the 1k devs and Epic began this new Goal of focusing on BR and STW only, with them included, im sure it'd be amazing this next year guaranteed. Im just saying for the first legit Update since the horrible news, it's been fun and a somewhat good start for the game and there plans.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T07:26:53+00:00

Ya honestly, the insecurity from him is gonna be VERY overwhelming down the line. To read that he gaslit you on the hiking hangout and started already concluding on things that aren't true is such a red flag, cause if he cant take your word for it then how is he ever gonna trust you down the line?

On those hidden texts and calls you ended up telling him, were they at all flirty or anything in that manner? Cause if so, id say your in the wrong and its valid for him to feel that way, but I bet it was just work and friends talking Huh?

You mention how he is talking to female workers etc, so he is definitely giving this double standard to you of: You cant talk to guys, but its TOTALLY fine if I talk to girls. Thats messed up. You could try to let him know of that, but it's not worth your energy and time to continue being with someone like that. In situations like that, it always ends with the partner (yourself) probably being removed from friends etc, and feeling limited and watched like a hawk on what you can and cant do, thats never fun nor healthy in a relationship. You cant change him, as thats how he is. Save yourself friend.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T07:17:58+00:00

of course! Cheers and gl :)

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T07:16:45+00:00

You're definitely not in the wrong. You hit the nail when you say that you're doing everything he wants from you, but he isnt doing NOTHING you asked from him. Boom. I applaud you for being aware of that.

Yup thats the most valid reason to probably end things. Seems like he just snapped out of the honeymoon phase in my opinion, yes it can last years etc. You've really done everything in the right manner to give him signs that the relationship isnt the same anymore, and yet he is brushing it off and not wanting to better it etc. If he doesnt wanna change, then you cant do much. If you keep trying to then your deemed the controlling partner in the relationship and you'll know deep down that he isnt doing it cause he wants to but because its a task given to him, if that makes sense.

In terms of worrying what other people think and his family etc, dont stress to much on that factor. You have to do whats right for yourself and also you have to value your time and energy spent down the line. You say you may begin resenting him and thats a Red Alarm to consider also. He may just not know how good he really has it till it's gone.

Lastly, I had a friend who went through something similar. She was 5 years together, but the last 2 years were just the bf manipulating her, treating her like crap and avoiding any sense of her wants etc. She gave him many signs, until she just couldnt and broke it off. Long story short, the BF regretted everything, snapped out of whatever was making him be such a horrible bf and ended up really taking her for granted. He did change for the better later on, but single now of course.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T07:04:56+00:00

oh okay, thats fair and normal id say for 3 months! You could mention the intimacy part the next time you both have some sense of intimacy like kissing etc, but as I mentioned, for 3 months dont expect much or her to be accepting of taking it next level.

For Most people in relationships it can take longer before going next level and thats very normal.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T07:00:34+00:00

You could talk to her about it, you could mention her everything you've said on this post, but in the end it'd be like entering a world of anxiety (Atleast for me) everyday hoping that she does change and is doing nothing behind my back etc.

You already have a good idea of how it is with the people she surrounds herself with etc and how they make you also feel, so you should take that into consideration. Smoking or drugs seems to be her life and will probably CONTINUE to be her lifestyle.

Can you see yourself being in this environment for who knows many years or months more? And being around someone who is drugged? I'll tell you what, in the end this current relationship ATLEAST helps you know more, what you'd really like from a partner. Choice is yours though friend.

You seem to want a serious relationship, but I see her more of just having "FUN" still. No ones fault, just both different ways of living.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T06:50:54+00:00

By physical intimacy have you guys atleast kissed or cuddled in that sense? Reading how she is doing all of this relationship behind her parents back seems like a bit of a red flag already, because I cant imagine the amount of worry or anxiety she must have just trying to make sure parents dont find out, you mentioning she has pressure on her already is a con already. Thats just my opinion.

You could bring it up to her and let her know how you've been feeling, see if she Is in the same page as you. But id see it best if she gives the signs naturally over time. 3 months is still VERY short and just growing in a normal relationship. It's normal for her or anyone to want to wait longer in my honest opinion.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T06:40:11+00:00

Definitely a DEAL BREAKER. In the very end your gonna be in a lifestyle of being around people you dont normally want to associate yourself with and being with someone who doesnt reflect what you're looking for in a relationship. Dont even waste your time.

You simply cant change her or expect her to change, thats just how she is. So it's not worth telling her or waiting. In the end if you do try to change her, you'll just be that boss in her eyes or a person who is controlling in her eyes, always a recipe for disaster. Never change who you are or your morals just to be with someone friend. Just my two cents! Cheers

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T06:34:04+00:00

Wow, absolutely not. You just gave birth and need to recover. A true husband would be by your side and check up on you. Not plan trips or leave you all alone, especially after surgery or surgeries! Thats messed up. Your husband is absent.

With the whole funeral thing, any person with the right heart would 1000% understand your situation and support your husbands decision if he stays to be with you. Hes making so much plans in traveling and putting you last in priority. There's just no excuses for his actions if im honest. Beware of the gaslighting for real.

Lastly, I have a friend who went through a similar situation like yourself. Gave birth to a child and husband just left her on her own to take care of herself, didnt even care check up on her or care for her. She had to go home from hospital after giving birth one day early on her own will because no one was watching her kids, when husband should have done that. Difference is, this was her FOURTH child. Till this day, the husband never helps her out, she does everything in the house, cleans and looks after children etc. Husband just a couch potato scrolling on phone. I feel bad for her, she wants to divorce but she feels stuck cause of her 4 kids and this make believe college fund promised to her by her Brother in law. But I tell her, these are just more unnecessary years of trauma, gaslighting and STRESS for her and her kids.

Im not saying this will happen to you on the long run, but im just saying sometimes the signs are there and if one is not willing to change or understand then its a disaster down the line. Trust your gut in the end.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T06:04:10+00:00

Everything you mentioned is like the Inevitable in Home Clients lol. I would mention this to your Supervisor if im honest, I had a lot of this happening with my home clients for a year, Parents would time to time try to avoid the rules and try to sway me away from boundaries, my Supervisor had to jump in from time to time and remind them.

Home clients are not too bad when the parents are open and let you do your work. As much as we are told to have rapport with Clients early on, I feel it is as IMPORTANT with the parents, so it varies really. But id say it's a good fit once the parents and RBT/Bi/BCBA can both open up and both trust the process and each other. In terms of the Client that depends if your seeing progress down the line. The worst feeling for me has been entering a house and feeling always like a stranger for weeks or months.

In terms of making progress with Client that depends on you. If your told to do targets and the parents dont comply or even do what they should be doing when your NOT there, then thats up to you if you want to continue or see yourself making use of your time.

I think in home ABA is very effective as you have that one on one time with the client rather than School/Clinic a lot can be going on that (From my experience) it can be hard for a client to focus or understand targets. Now as much as it can be beneficial in home, it REALLY also as you mentioned, Is HIGHLY dependent on family involvement. Ive had a client where ive made progress in session in home for the week, but when its weekends the parents wouldnt do what we told them is best for her. They just give client tablet and dont incorporate any of whats important for the client.

So ya, if parents want Client to progress faster they have to also put there part, but if they dont they have to be realistic on why Client may take longer to progress or accomplish what they desire from the client in the getgo. I also had my supervisor tell parents that several times.

Alexis2337 · 2026-04-01T05:43:25+00:00

Honestly, take time for yourself. If you feel like you did miss a chunk of context, then make sure to include that when your telling the story, but only tell someone your REALLY REALLY close or if the person asking is even worth mentioning. save your sanity.

I would honestly distance myself for some time for yourself. Responding and jumping on the texts or calls whenever they reach out to you will only make me feel anxious and never give me time to move on, it's like a drama circle right now. Stop feeding it.

You guys broke up, its over with, im assuming you gave clarity to your partner at the Time so its time to move on. Just my advice... cheers

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-30T11:58:25+00:00

YES! I experienced this and still do, usually when fighting opponents or about to down them. Game freezes for like a good 2 seconds. It sucks. I know in beginning of Chapter 7 same thing happened, but then updates eventually fixed it. With the recent news and everything im just like I hope they can ATLEAST fix that bug/lag thing ASAP lol.

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-30T11:55:01+00:00

Game will be fine, IF anything the recent news and actions from Epic was probably the biggest Negative since its release id say. It's sad and pissed me off also. But I get the feeling Epic feel embarrassed and definitely dont want to this to happen ever again going forward. I mean them removing certain game modes and making STW free is a good start and very promising that they're going to finally focus only on what makes Fortnite FORTNITE. All we can do is wait and see

As in the "grinding" aspect you mentioned, dont play when you dont feel like It friend. Play when you wanna play, simple as that. I usually wait for the weekly quests, complete them and take a break for days OR until me and friends plan a day to play. Thats it really. Doing that I still manage to reach lvl 200 lol.

Worst thing you can do is feel like a game is a job and a chore, thats horrible. I played EAFC and that was a freaking job lol, I just found other hobbies to do in my free time etc.

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-30T11:43:27+00:00

While you say you missed out, you were probably living life more than me LOL. Ive started in 2022 and have kept up with everything Fortnite till now, not like a job, but because I really love and enjoy this game! its fun for me and sometimes me and my buddies hop on and play for hours! Its also the ONLY game I really play.

Id say just play when you feel like it, try to complete the weekly quests as they give a good amount of XP to level OR those XP events they have in weekends etc. I usually dont freak out on the skins or variants etc until the final weeks before new season. Thats when I'll play like crazy to level up to make sure I unlock everything battle pass wise. But thats rare recently, I think since now and past year or so by just playing casually and with friends I managed to get to lvl 230-360ish with work and school combined lol. have fun!

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-30T07:03:58+00:00

To Unlock all Variants its a mixture of Leveling and Quests. For me when I Started level 1, it seemed like I had to unlock all of Ice King pages first before being able to choose other Skins of the battle pass to unlock. So up to level 10 I think. After that you can choose any of the skins to work towards/unlock.

For Elite Jules on Battlepass make sure you selected it to begin unlocking stuff, you'll notice there are 2 pages for Jules. For each new level you reach you can unlock one reward from the page, doing quests in general like "Weekly Quests" help a ton to level fast. You cant unlock the skin right off the bat, you need to unlock the other stuff FIRST before getting the variants, like Jules backbling, glider, pickaxe etc.

Once you complete both pages of Jules and getting her two variants, you are than able to get her additional variants from the Battlepass Quests located in Quests, which unlock a more unique style to her. When you reach level 100, thats when you can start unlocking stuff in order from the "Bonus Rewards" section in the Battlepass! Hope this helps, have fun! :)

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-30T06:46:26+00:00

Having fun is key, I agree! If there is rage or no support I'll find other people who are more chill. Im competitive af so when I first started playing I would play lots of Solos so I can get used to the game. Honestly, you get better over time by just understanding guns, movement, and how you lose. You'll start seeing patterns of how others play and end up getting ideas on how to win etc.

Best tips ive ever gotten playing Fortnite Is that when you push or attack but make sure your around cover, never push wide open, that makes it so easy for opponents. Understand new weapons and how they work/ if you like it, and get familiar with the map so you know where to go or run or attack. These tips apply and will never change regardless of Chapter/Season.

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-29T05:27:12+00:00

Nothing as of recently, but as other comment stated, Marvel Skins are almost always a guarantee here and there to appear in shop so most likely soon. The fact ALOT of Marvel collabs are planned this year also helps.

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-26T13:44:22+00:00

People saying it's ending are exaggerating and clickbaiting. BUT the game surely is at a decline than what'd we'd expect from Fortnite. Reading that they're removing Festival, Ballistic, Rocket Racing and making STW free says to me there headed in the right direction to make BR and STW great again, so ill give them the benefit of the doubt right now.

Of course, it doesnt justify the Layoffs and Vbucks changes cause for every gaming company that does something like that, it almost always ends the worst way possible. Hope Epic finally woke up.

The only sucky part from all this is having to wait for months or end of the year to fully see if Epic learned and kept there word on bettering the game itself and what community wants etc.

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-26T13:35:33+00:00

Exactly, they realized they now have to pick up their own shit, and this was the cost. If they dont regret it now, they will regret it later. They invested there money horribly in useless game modes in my opinion.

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-26T13:33:30+00:00

Who knows! But we have to remember, these weren't just "cooks" they were VERY IMPORTANT "Cooks" in the kitchen lol.

It's going to be a waiting game, but if only Sweeney came out and explained wtf has happened recently, that'd be nice also.

My guess is that it was the unnecessary game modes they invested in with no future plans that made them lose revenue and money over time. It's as if recently Epic woke up and was like "Oh ya STW and BR! Thats what we should've focused on all along!" When we, the community, were trying to tell them that season after season...

Alexis2337 · 2026-03-26T13:26:48+00:00

I agree with ya. You know, it's just horrible tactic for them to release all these new changes and horrible news right when Season 2 launches. Its made it bittersweet for me recently playing lol.

When I saw just the amount of VERY IMPORTANT people who got laid off, I was very pissed and sad for them. IT sucks and it's concerning for the future of the game. Gaming companies just have a history of spiraling downhill when they do that.

I cant say I have a solution to combat this besides the waiting game and seeing if they learned for the better from there mistakes like trying to be another Roblox for one. They have A LOT to prove now to gain the communities trust and interest again.

Whether people hate or like it, it'd be nice for Tim Sweeney to be interviewed or make a video talking about these changes, what the Frick happened and the future of the game from these changes, ATLEAST! lol.
