Given that I think they've ruined the game, I'd never rationally be asking for more sprites/variants in Fortnite...BUT... Megaman being the only one to get no variants this season is just baffling and also throwing off the paper list I've made.

Turning lemonade back into lemons since 1990. Video game enjoyer, denim jacket wearer and occasional wrestling watcher.
Ordered some drink and the bar staff member who delivered them wished me a good night. I instinctively said "You too". Immediate self cringe.
As someone who can drive a forklift, I found that I can sometimes get distracted when I see them in games. Nearly got swarmed by zombies in No More Room In Hell 2 after stopping to look at one. No capacity plate. Health and safety would not be happy.
If I had a nickel for every time a manager at work this year has been let go suddenly due to a dramatic scandal, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.
...Yeah, I might have gotten most of them.
Lewis@agentsmiz.bsky.social · 2mo agoI just did over 100 sprites. I'm not doing it again. Base and then whatever I find. Inputting the code instead of opening the chests is fine but knowing what rarity it is isn't. They've also nerfed the shit out of the spawn rates of the codes.
Not sure what it is about the Sonic franchise that it often completely blindsides me with random news but here we go again. I was already probably going to get Crossworlds due to the Godzilla and Evangelion stuff but now there's FFVII, it's a cert.
The stop motion alien from the music video to "TV Dinners" by ZZ Top. Watched the greatest hits VHS a lot as a kid and that freaky little creep terrified me.
At the end of the last season of Fortnite, there were 117 different sprites across all the types and variants. Currently, for C7S4, there's 122 with at least 10 more to come. I seriously hope sprites go away for a while after this. Novelty has very much worn off at this point.
My local, which has been closed for 2 months with no explanation, has announced it's reopening tomorrow with a gaudy AI post that features a completely different pub. That's not a promising sign at all...
After nearly two years, I've finally got through a gold stake run on Balatro. Levelling up the flush and getting the super banana paid off. Ain't no way I'm doing it for the other decks. #playstationtrophy
Pretty much 5 months to the day that it happened.
Lewis@agentsmiz.bsky.social · 6mo ago*accidentally uncovers something at work that will have ramifications across so many levels* Do the thing, Henry.
Top secret info in the workplace that I was one of two people who knew about has finally become common knowledge. Someone at head office blabbed. Pressure is off now.
*taps the sign again for Epic* Fortnite Ranked still sucks. Don't give me a win umbrella in the BR mode that has all the matching cosmetics locked to playing a sweaty grindfest. Go back to the "survive X circles" style quests OR have all modes/team sizes selectable. I play squads to be carried.
Lewis@agentsmiz.bsky.social · 6mo agoI'd be fine with them being unlocks in all modes (umbrella for 1 win, wrap for 2, pickaxe for 3, contrail for kills etc) just so you can work towards a season set in either rank or non but to lock half to the sweaty mode is stupid.
Always suspected Ed Sheeran was a bit of a knob. Glamourising speeding on unsuitable roads and overselling a slight mess up when building a Lego model. If things go wrong, just go back a few steps to salvage it. Duh.
Oh, Ball X Pit is gonna be one of THOSE kind of games for me. I only downloaded it less than 2 days ago and I've already sunk 12 hours in. Granted, I am on holiday but still. Rougelikes are increasingly becoming my jam.
As someone who was hyped for it when it got revealed, seeing the footage of Wolverine is somewhat disheartening. Seems excessively hand holdy. That's more acceptable in an open world game but not in a linear one.
For reasons that escape me, I've gone back to playing Crash Bandicoot 4. There's only 1, maybe 2 trophies, that I can feaibly get with my skill level. The game being absolute nails is a real roadblock. It's Crash 1 in terms of difficulty ramped up.
Nothing makes me not want to go to an event more than seeing this text on the poster. God damn AI generated text. Deserves all the hate that Comic Sans used to get.
This year, more so than most, I've struggled to put my thoughts and feelings into words. Maybe something to do with being on medication to stop them from destroying me mentally. This gif, however, sums up a lot.

Nigel Farage is the same age as Keanu Reeves. This is a distressing fact I found out tonight. There is no doubt who in my mind would make the better Prime Minister. Hell, I know neither of them personally and there's no doubt who the better person is.
This AI font that's on seemingly every pub poster around where I live deserves all the hate that Comic Sans ever got.
Xcancel being shut down and old Reddit now requiring a login is really going to put a spanner in the "Get video game news and updates" works.
Stage Tour is bringing back the Guitar Hero/Rock Band gameplay as well as all the animations from those games. Shades of WWE 2K14 moves still being in the games 12 years later. #OpeningNightLive
So it's a few days into the new season and I've had a fair few games so here's my thoughts on Chapter 7 Season 4 of Fortnite. ... It's good but very much at risk of becoming Season 3.5 rather than a standalone thing.
This applies again to this season of Fortnite. Win out the way early and then everyone seems to go full idiot in the endgame. I'll give full thoughts later but in the meantime: STOP TRYING TO REVIVE IN THE STORM WHEN THE ZONE IS FAR AWAY!!!
Lewis@agentsmiz.bsky.social · 4mo agoI'm glad I got the win early in this season as this curse seems to be back now. Randoms will play like a crack squad of commandos until the last circle and then act like they've been kicked in the head by a horse. Just rushing head on into the enemy team.
With the season coming to close, I do have to say that, after the initial buzz and hype at the start, this season of Fortnite turned out to be a bit of a dud. The chapter 3 curse continues. Turns out letting go of a 1000 employees might not have been a good move.
Just gonna say it - having an eclipse when the sun is due to set anyway is really lazy booking. Doesn't feel any different. If someone could rearrange the sun, that would be ideal.
