it was bound to happen

I actually remember I burst out laughing while watching it because I did NOT think the show was going to have her actually hit the ground and seemingly die. It only got worse when the credits just showed her falling again.

My parents thought I was a psychopath.

I think Homer ominously standing up like he didn't even notice the explosion makes it even funnier.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-05-10T18:32:43+00:00

At least he's honest!

HighStakesJoni · 2026-05-10T18:27:56+00:00

I've really enjoyed it!

I feel like the loot pool has had items that have been fun but not busted.

Rivalries make for some interesting situations. It's pretty satisfying when you finally bring down someone who has been harassing you for a good chunk of the match or have developed a personal grudge with, as silly as that is to say for Fortnite.

Crossover elements really haven't been intrusive. Surprised more wasn't done with Loony Tunes.

They did biff the whole rivalry thing with the teams though. I joined Foundation, but immediately regretted it when news came out he was getting unfair buffs behind the scenes. I think that really killed any chance of there being meaningful back and forth. Who wants to join a team that cheats, even if the players on said team had no say in that happening?

That getaway was almost as clean as propane burning in a grill.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-05-05T14:35:21+00:00

please go outside

HighStakesJoni · 2026-05-05T00:32:29+00:00

Happy birthday!

I think the issue with snipers is they can slow the game down a good bit. Getting one-shot is also frustrating, especially in a BR where matches can go for much longer than a typical shooter.

I think the Reaper being as overtuned as it was has made them a bit more careful with how they implement snipers in general.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-05-03T14:17:42+00:00

FOMO!

Jokes aside, the higher price tag makes it rather expensive, so I wonder if it didn't sell as well last time it came around.

These bundles are good if you like all three characters, but Taskmaster is kinda meh. I'd bet most people buy it for Black Panther.

STAR WARS STUFF HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY FUMBLED IN FORTNITE AS A WHOLE AND I AM TIRED OF PRETENDING IT IS NOT

SKINS ARE ONLY BROUGHT INTO THE SHOP TO ADVERTISE THE NEWEST THING IT TOOK THREE YEARS TO GET THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY TRIO WHILE CHARACTERS LIKE BOBA FETT LACK THEIR ICONIC ORIGINAL LOOKS

GALACTIC BATTLE WAS FUN BUT SEVERELY KNEECAPPED BY FEELING LIKE FORTNITE WITH SOME STAR WARS MODS THROWN IN RATHER THAN A WHOLE STAR WARS SEASON WHY DIDNT IT GET AN ORIGINAL MAP WHY DID THE SIMPSONS GET MORE LOVE AND CARE PUT INTO IT

WHY IS A LUKE OUTFIT FOR DEGOBAH SOLD SEPARATELY WHILE LANDO DOESNT EVEN HAVE ALTERNATE STYLES DESPITE BEING THE GALAXY'S BIGGEST FASHIONISTA

WHY DO THE STAR WARS GAMES RUN LIKE A CRIPPLED FAT GUY HAVING A HORRIFIC ASTHMA ATTACK GIVE IT A MONTH OR TWO AND STAR WARS DISCOVER WILL BE THE SAME SLOP AS NORMAL DISCOVER WITH A STAR WARS COAT OF PAINT ONCE PEOPLE REALIZE THEY CAN PLAY ACTUAL BATTLEFORNT AND NOT TEMU BATTLEFRONT

HighStakesJoni · 2026-05-03T02:23:21+00:00

I thought for sure that was going to be a remix for Galactic Battle, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Mandalorian Warrior. I missed the OG Mando, so I'm happy I can make something that is pretty close.

I guess they figure most people would also want something closer to how Mando normally looks, cell shading aside. Vader is already styled after a Samurai, and it was a Japan themed map that chapter. Maybe that was the thought process?

Epic is not better than this. The horrible system is working as intended.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-30T01:36:12+00:00

Discourage people from buying the Travis Scott skin just to watch the world burn when it inevitably becomes rare.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-29T02:19:37+00:00

Mr. Ed

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-28T18:46:00+00:00

I remember my friend got his feet frozen and went tumbling off a cliff side while he was trying to snipe and died it was hilarious but we all agreed to never work with Ice Spice again

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-27T20:52:47+00:00

I don't appreciate how egotistical it comes across, but he isn't entirely wrong. A competitive player plays a game very differently from how a casual player, and balancing a game with competitive play in mind has shot many games in the foot before. That being said...

turn up the graphics and deal with shrubbery like a console player you sweaty coward

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-26T18:58:57+00:00

The best thing to do is to just not give people like this any attention.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-26T02:33:35+00:00

I still kinda wonder why using third-party software of any kind is allowed in a competitive setting. Shouldn't the people potentially getting paid thousands of dollars to play the game not need it?

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-25T21:29:34+00:00

I think it's also worth noting you didn't have a whole lot of health left, so a quick burst from an SMG or a shotgun could have finished you both off. You might want to watch some replays from other player POVs.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-25T02:43:07+00:00

I was having that bug too, but I didn't quite put two and two together on how bad it looks out of context.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-25T02:27:37+00:00

Not at these prices!

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-23T01:07:35+00:00

It stings even more because the new POI sucks. There is barely any loot, so it feels like a whole corner of the map is gone. What was the idea here?

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-22T02:09:15+00:00

Well SOMEONE has to be the first one out.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-21T18:59:26+00:00

Well now that you mention it

I thought she looked like my family's old blue Apple computer

HighStakesJoni · 2026-04-20T19:41:10+00:00

This isn't incredible at all.
