My nephews (10 and 13) stayed with me a couple of weeks ago, and I got a chance to see them game. And yeah they are playing mostly Fortnite these days, but they love it. Further, it actually looks pretty intense. Like the editing and jockeying for a clean shot is more nuanced than what I was getting up to.

Like was my obsession with Quake 2 DM that much more elevated? True we had a lot more variety with mods and maps, but if I'm being honest most of my time was just spent running around Q2DM1/The Edge and a handful of other vanilla maps. I did love that Homer skin though, lol.

Anyway, I see them hooting and laughing and the whole time they're chatting with their little friends from school. I can see the joy in it. I wish it wasn't on this centralised, monetised, company platform. But I can see what they like in it.

It’s the metaverse in practice but don’t let any reptile people know that

Fortnite gets a lot of hate but they've built something unique.

And then lock it up.

something unique, better even, something fun.
