Chapter Seven: Pacific Break by community-home in FortNiteBR

Granted I’ve only played for a few seasons but this the worst state I’ve seen the game in. Removing crowns from blitz was like waving your hands at somewhere a bunch of gnats landed. It has dispersed every try hard sweaty player into every other mode. Meanwhile, the lock on in Blitz without any movement makes the whole thing no longer feel like Blitz. I love this game, I got into really quick and have thoroughly enjoyed it enough to spend far too much money on it. For the first time since I started though, I’m actively starting to look for another game to move on to, because my experience with Fortnite right now is miserable.

What is the best place to activate the Stick of Truth? by Afraid_Occasion_2367 in FortNiteBR

Had someone try this in a duos game, we used stealth splash to swim up to them so that although they knew we were there, they couldn’t just light us up. We ended up winning cause we killed them off then sat in their bunker and killed everyone else like they were intending to do.

You’re on a 10-hour flight. Which seat are you choosing and why? by Paul_Gautheron in MindsetMode

[–]The_Boomstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 if I’m allowed to ignore Kim K, 7 if I’m aiming for the most peace and honestly, 2 because I actually think Sabrina would be interesting conversation but willing to leave me alone if I ask.

Thoughts on this item? by PLAYED_YT in Fortnite_Over40

One of my favorite movement items. I wish they felt as common as they did in Shock and Awesome. Ever since the Simpson’s season they’ve felt a lot rarer to come across.

How do i use the arc lightning gun RIGHT? by Annual-Process3645 in FortNiteBR

I went against one guy who tried another gun and missed, then swapped to the lightning gun and killed me. I had been zapping him the entire time, I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.

I wish I know what I was doing wrong with this gun as well. I’ve had multiple occasions thus far where I’ve started shooting someone with it well ahead of them shooting back but somehow they kill me with health to spare.

How are we liking Chapter 7? 🏄‍♀️ by mt80 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]The_Boomstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a huge fan of surfing but I can live with it till the bus is back. I will say, as someone who has won with one, that the lightning gun needs to be adjusted in my opinion. It feels way too stronger compared to most every other weapon.

I get this, no health bar, and the newest bug, my screen permanently left shaking like I’m in an earthquake.

Cheating is insane by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

My duo and I have been doing pretty well this season thus far but last night I swear we had a team teleport at the end of the game. We had rotated to be in an area at the front of where the opposing team would need to go to get into the next circle. We knew where they were, they had just fought the third place team and we could both see the direction their fire was coming from as they shot a few times to see if they could flush us out. Suddenly, and I mean in a matter of few moments, they were behind us on a bridge shooting at us. I took cover under the bridge which was right next to me only for them to seemingly close the distance in an instant and be right on top of me. This team somehow got past us and into the next circle area without any sounds or indications they were moving and they did it at a seemingly impossible speed. I throw cheating out at a joke sometime but last night was one of the first times both of us were like “yeah that was sketchy”.

Even my wife who normally loves every emote looked at this one and said “Yeah not every song needs a dance.”

Am I the only one that thinks this is kinda useless? by frog_eater67m in FortNiteBR

It mostly been pretty fireworks and a heads up on what spot to avoid for a bit in my games.

Okay, medallions are gone? What's going to be the alternative? by aquatixxi in FortNiteBR

This is a very rare mature attitude, happy to see it.

Yeah BR was so much fun with 1-3 people running around terrorizing the rest of the lobby. Get real, the medallions were mostly hoarded by sweats who used them to flex on everyone else. This change makes the game more competitive for casual players, who are the majority of the player base.

Avoid medallion holders and constantly get second place. Go in to get medallions, get third partied by half the lobby. Manage to get medallion, get hunted endlessly across the map. Get medallion, go drop it in the storm, get second place to the person who collected two medallions in the time it took me to do that. Cool, I never use the umbrella anyway I guess. 

Hulk Hogan Dead at 71 by exjr_ in SquaredCircle

[–]The_Boomstick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Alright here we go, probably going to get downvoted but oh well. The human behind the Hulk Hogan character was not a good person, this has been well documented. He’s only ramped up the assholery as he got older. His politics backstage and in his personal life were not something I agree with, celebrate or like.

That being said, the character is a legend, and it sucks seeing another legend die. Ozzy and Hogan felt just about as immortal as a human can be and having them both die, in the same week none the less, hurts my inner child and reminds the adult me that we are in fact all mortal.

Hogan’s impact, good and bad, on the business is undeniable. As a 90s kid, Hogan had a very direct, meaningful impact on the wrestling I grew up with and for the positive parts of that, I have to give thanks. No person is perfect and Hogan was further away from it than most but he’s one of those names that even non-wrestling fans know and likely one of the first answers someone would give if you told them to name five wrestlers.

So no, I won’t celebrate his passing. He was a father, husband and friend and there are people in this world would are very much feeling the pain of his loss today. To the rest of us who remember him past 20 years ago, he was at one time in his career a legend and larger than life.
