Fortnite Gymnasium

Just a Fortnite blog.

I met someone today...

I hope Epic isn't dumb enough to choose anyone who is using AI to generate entries for their Design A Sprite contest. If that were to happen...they are going to have one hell of a controversy on their hands that they don't need.

[fortnitegym]

I withdrew my original two designs since I felt like they needed a little more work...so these are my final entries into the Design A Sprite contest for Fortnite.

Even though the next battle pass is going to suck...at least these are coming out on the same day.

She-Ra is definitely a surprise. He-Man and Skeletor were leaked months ago...but I don't think She-Ra was.

I am so glad they are staying close to their original 80s styles and not doing something for the new movie.

I just have to decide who I am going to get...He-Man or Skeletor.

And here I thought this season's battle pass was underwhelming...

There is NOTHING in this pass for next season that interests me.

Why are we doing John Wick again?

Why is that stupid streamer for babies a sidekick?

I really thought this new season was going to have a better pass...guess I was wrong.

Well...FOMO strikes again...

Just two days after I went and got Mercy from Overwatch...this skin drops in the shop...and I am pissed. I would've rather got this skin.

I really do wish FOMO was illegal.

I can't believe how pathetic Fortnite has become with collabs. Literally putting in two skins in the game that were made with AI. (I know that the skins in the game were made by people, but the original designs they are based off of were generated with AI.) Even though the bubble seems like it's about to burst...there are still some corpos out here trying to legitimize AI.

Well...out of nowhere....for the first time...someone decided to be ageist to me in Fortnite.

At the end of a Save The World mission...some little asshole said to me "go feed ur kids". I am assuming he said that because of my choice of skin (Homer Simpson) and the emote I was doing (That one Wu-Tang Clan emote). Keep in mind, I did and said nothing to this person. (I never have a mic in with strangers anyways.)

The funny thing is...he thought he was going to make that remark and then leave the server. But, he didn't seem to realize we are both on Xbox...which means I then proceeded to send him a message back to be ageist to him in return. I said to him "Sounds like someone needs his diaper changed."

You can literally do nothing to people...and they will still be assholes to you.

Tim Sweeney really is a piece of shit.

He fires 1,000 employees...while paying out millions of dollars to shitty Creative maps. Hiring actors like Dwayne Johnson to do voice work. Spending money on unnecessary lawsuits.

And, of course, he doesn't dare give himself a pay cut. It's more important that he keeps making money for himself at the cost of 1,000 people losing their jobs.

Like I said...he's a piece of shit.

I'm starting to wonder if I should stop buying Festival passes in Fortnite.

I get the Snoop Dogg pass...not long after that he becomes a sellout for Donald Trump.

I get the Chappell Roan pass...she goes and acts like an asshole to a 11 year-old girl for just smiling at her.

[fortnitegym]

I spent yesterday playing match after match after match and just couldn't get a win.

Then today, I win in the very first match I played.

Good...now I can mostly ignore BR for the rest of the season. (I like to get a victory umbrella for every season.)

[fortnitegym]

I know I am going to get either Jon or Dany...the problem is which one do I pick?

Do I pick the character who was set up to be really important, came back from the dead, became King of The North...only to end up screaming at a dragon...

...or...

...do I pick the character that freed slaves, was fireproof, could control dragons....but then quickly became a genocidal maniac and killed thousands of innocent people?

If you can't tell...I hated season 8 of Game of Thrones.

[fortnitegym]

I don't want to keep going on about this new season, but I want to make one last rant...

I hate....

The price increase on v-bucks.

Having 700 v-bucks less in the battle pass.

The battle pass being bland.

The rival system.

Players driving the bus now (half the time they just turn it immediately to the left or right).

Technical issues. (The games locks up at least once for me in EVERY match.)

This season just feels so bad to me.

[fortnitegym]

I hate the rivals system, because I hate anything in the game that tells players where my location is. It's so fucking annoying.

[fortnitegym]

Chapter 7 Season 2 is looking worse and worse:

The battle pass looks boring as hell.

The battle pass will have 700 v-bucks less than previous passes.

V-bucks now cost more.

The Daft Punk Experience is being removed when this new season starts.

They are adding skins into the game based off of stupid, brainrot AI generated characters.

This could end up being one of the worst, if not the worst, seasons of Fortnite ever.

[fortnitegym]

Ehhhh...

This looks like some boring shit. Oh boy...evil faction vs. good faction again. What a new idea.

So these are the battle pass skins? And now the battle pass only gives out 800 v-bucks? Yikes. This may be the worst pass they have done so far. Hopefully the store will have better stuff in it.

The only skin in this pass that I have some interest in is Bugs Bunny, but...even then it's just some interest. I am not some Looney Tunes superfan.

But, yeah...this looks to be a bland season from what they have shown so far.

Also, perhaps instead of making players pay more for v-bucks...how about not getting expensive movie actor Dwayne Johnson to be a part of your season.

It's pretty wild for a company that made six billion dollars last year...telling it's customers they need more money to "pay the bills". If you're making that kind of money, and you need help paying your bills...maybe it's time to examine how you're spending your money instead of trying to get more from your customers.
