Fortnite Battle Pass update:

Future Battle Passes may have their items come to the shop after 18 months. I'm not sure which pass this will begin with, but I assume it will be the one releasing August 16th.

Edit: This only affects new passes. Sadly, older pass characters such as Peter Griffin and Korra will remain exclusive unless they get a new version released into the shop.

On another Fortnite note, last night they put an outfit called The Paradigm into the item shop. The last time this outfit was available is 2019. After 1 hour they removed the item from the shop and mentioned anyone who bought the character would have her removed and refunded as the outfit was exclusive to an event from the aforementioned year. Due to heavy backlash, they reversed course. Anyone who bought the outfit last night keeps her and will get a refund. Those who nabbed her in 2019 will get a special variant as the outfit was marketed as exclusive.

There's one other clip from him that I really like
He was probably just putting on appearances here but this clip still made me laugh when I first came across it

I hate that my parents are seperated because if i dont go over to visit my moms at least once a week, im filled with guilt...



Plus the stress of being the only sibling around that can take care of them is something goes wrong because my big sister is in a whole different city. And my dad wonders why I started graying at 20

I swear I see a new video or more saying that the Mr. Beast situation has gotten worse at least every other day these past two weeks.

I don't even watch the guy but that ain't a good sign.

I kind of wonder if this is a cover-up for him running out of money. With him having hundreds of videos where he does ridiculously expensive stuff (I don't watch them either, but I still know he does all those $100 million challenges or whatever), it was bound to happen soon.

Andre from gameplain is letting Trish and Joey go, because I guess actually paying workers for once is also too hard then not paying them:

An announcement regarding the GX YouTube channel.

I’m saddened to say that due to softening revenue, it’s become impossible to continue to sufficiently provide for my full-time team members. I tried everything imaginable to avoid this for as long as

You guys think the next 3D Sonic game will be like Frontiers, or will it go in an other direction?

IIRC, a Frontiers sequel is already happening but that could also just be a rumor. We do know that the open zone style is being used for the hub stages in Shadow Generations at least, so maybe it's here to stay for a while.

I just want them to refine the movement and give us some actual Sonic locations to run around in.

If they keep this format they definitely need to refine the gameplay. And the world can’t just be “We saw BOTW and decided to do that but with the fast rat instead”

And can we ditch the melancholy tone? It was an interesting one time experiment but it’s not what I come to Sonic for. Give me bright colors and bouncy music.

I would love to see another game in the Adventure style with a Lost World-inspired plot and level lineup. And like you said, I'd also love a return to the brighter colors and happier music of pre-Forces titles (part of the reason I love Lost World as much as I do is because I find it to be an incredibly uplifting game that makes me happy when I think about it).

That or maybe a remastered trilogy of Adventure, Adventure 2 and Heroes in the style of Spyro Reignited Trilogy, that would go unbelievably hard.

And a spinoff title for the Deadly Six. Look I'm pretty sure Zeena might be my new favorite fictional character now, I'd feel empty inside if I didn't mention the D6 at least once in a Sonic-related post.

And dear God, we need to keep Flynn away from making references. I don't care that this random tree made you think of Big the Cat, Sonic. Damn.

...

Okay, maybe I do care a bit if it's about Big.

This post reminds me of Mushroom Hill Zone!

Pokémon Day 2025 it is :4pacman:

It’s probably better this way. We need this game to be good.

Seems like they’re really slowing down production, at least a little.

I think after S/V’s release some higher up from Nintendo came down and asked them wtf they were doing. Pokémon is big enough that they could get away with one buggy release, but more than one and they’d be in real trouble.

I really hope they’re getting things back on track.

I offhandedly mentioned in my kickboxing class to another student that I got into martial arts because I played Street Fighter, Punch-Out, and Tekken. Then after class she had me write them down so she can give the games to her son.

On one hand, I hope the kid has fun. On the other hand, I hate being an adult!
