is fortnite really still the thing these days? that game is a full 6 years old. i know games have a longer shelf life now (same vein as minecraft and roblox) but surely there’s a newer game we grumpy old geezers should be shaking our canes at the kids about. sus amogus anyone??
I have a buddy who’s literally learning how to play bass via Rocksmith, it’s the only game he plays on the PS4 that he bought specifically for that purpose.
It doesn’t even need to be dead, those fucking ghouls in suits oversaturated the market immediately because they have no concept of long term planning. If they had the wherewithall to have slowed down releases to every few years instead of every few months, this would probably still be one of the most actively played genres.
Basically this. If they had slowed down releases, even added new songs as updates or micro DLC packs in between, I think they’d have had something that would’ve worked for years. It was incredibly popular because the variety of play was big and the controls for each position were pretty basic enough to the point that anyone could pick up any position and play.
However, everyone had to have their own version inside of a year. DJ hero, American Idol games, every major band of the last 50 years got their own branded version of Rock Band, etc. It burnt the market out like the Great Awakening.
I hate it because the company that makes it is trash and duplicitous. Their business practices (including those in Fortnite) are what make them terrible.
I was sleeping on the living room couch in my one-floor house one night when my cat woke me up by jumping on my chest and batting me in the face, something that he never does normally. I also heard some sort of weird rushing noise that I couldn’t make any sense of. I groggily got up and both stockinged feet went “sploosh” in the carpet, which I immediately knew was not a good thing at all.
Turns out my cat had been sleeping in the bathroom sink like he normally does, and he had somehow pushed the drain closed while also flipping up the faucet lever. This sink had no overflow drain so it quickly began pouring water all over the floor. By the time I got up, more than half the house’s floors had been thoroughly soaked and a much larger amount of water had poured through the floor heating ducts and down into the basement.
I was impressed by my cat’s intelligence at realizing something was seriously wrong and that the hooman needed to be woken up to deal with it. The moral of the story is where the fuck can you even buy a bathroom sink without an overflow drain? This one was on my cheap-ass landlord.
