While this is peripherally interesting to hear, without Linux support ^[1][2]^, I am not personally interested.

    • [Is there ANY way I can run Fortnite on linux?]

      Nope. No way there because of their anti cheat solution. Sorry.

Thank you for noticing 😊 ­— I have hope that it's a practice that will catch on eventually. I do my best to not engage in conjecture: If I make any claim, I try to make sure that I cite it. The same sort of thing goes for anything derived from logic — ie I do my best to describe my thought processes to make sure that I reduce the possibility of incorrect assumptions being made on anything that I post. It's a little bit tedious at times, but I think it's important.

Fornite is no longer a game it's a platform for games. I wonder if shitty movie tie-in games are now going to be shitty movie tie-in games, but they're on Fortnite.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Well, fortnite is already full of shitty movie tie-in skins, so that's not much of a jump.

T2. Alien. Predator. John Wick.

What makes them shitty? They don't look so bad imo

It's cool to hate everything Fortnite.

Fortnite is a commercial that occasionally breaks out into a game.

[–] _stranger_ 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All games eventually evolve a counterstrike mod. It's the carcinisation of games.

[–] Skullgrid 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I thought that was a battle royale mode?

[–] _stranger_ 15 points 4 days ago

Just one of the many steps along the road to perfection: counterstrike.

[–] nawa 2 points 4 days ago

Not always, Apex Legends added a 3v3 Arenas mode on smaller maps way after the initial battle royale release.

Why the fuck don't they just focus on Save the World!? It's the only best game mode in that game! Also, why they can't bring this mode to Switch?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a shame cs is one of the worst-feeling shooters for me... actually fortnite's shooting felt awful too, it's a huge part of why I couldn't get into it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

At least Counter-Strike is on Linux.
