@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialHow to earn Fortnite Account levels?
Well play the mods? There are many tycoon mods...ie. Steal The Brainrot is one. You'll be amazed at how much xp you'll earn there, much more than standard Battle Royale which is cRAZY!!!
These tycoon games inside Fortnite is the same thing. ie. Steal The Brainrot is a "clicker" but you step on the button with your character.
Confusing? Contact me! I'll guide you!
@Demirramon@cyberfurz.socialSo who was going to tell me that NVIDIA would record every single kill I did in Fortnite and actually store the footage permanently even if I don't choose to save them myself after a game making me end up with a 300GB folder without knowing
@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialHey wanna be my friend in Fortnite?
I'm all for cooperating as your teammate and we can play coop games, that is Fortnite mods

@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialLike seriously folks, you don't play Fortnite, you should already have a community on the fediverse but somehow you don't?
What the heck is wrong with Mastodon and the Fediverse?
A lot of people are a lot of talk like me but...
I ALSO GAME
at least I'm doing some activity!
THERE IS NO FORTNITE COMMUNITY HERE.
We have 1 or 2 guys...guys/gals and that's it!
To me that = NOBODY GAMES ON THE FEDIVERSE.

@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialWorst combination of me in Fortnite is horrible lag while at the same time I'm mad as h***.
So I'm going into a Battle Royale Squad...4 players...I hope all of them leave before the match starts...
so nobody will ever experience my horrible lag...
I meant great lag, I want the best lag!
ISP: Thanks for thinking that way!

@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialLag killed me this time.
I got an amazing thief ISP.
And I'm doing a bad job at getting better internet cause I don't complain.
Companies love that!
Other customers go:
I want better internet!
I go: I want better lag!
13:16 UTC and I'm in the queue to get in to Fortnite.

@andycarolan@social.lolI've been trimming subscriptions recently.
Disney cancelled (Just before the Kimmel stuff)
Paramount cancelled (Until a new Star Trek season starts)
XBox Game Pass Ultimate because WTF were they thinking with the 50% increase?!... reduced to Essentials.
Apple One reduced to Apple Music and iCloud Family only
Fortnite Crew cancelled
I imagine the next company subscription I cancel will be the next one to do something stupid 😅

@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialOnly Fortnite got a problem, a demo seems to work fine.
I think I got it! Nvidia is maintaining their cloud service in a few locations.
Maybe I'm just unlucky to be in one of these locations...

@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialI was like, "I'm banned"...I really now hope that I am banned cause it will be awkward coming back to Fortnite not thinking I was banned cause I definitely thought I was banned.
@macandi@social.heise.de @shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialEPIC Games 7 day trial.
When trial expires I will either request account deletion or I will simply remove the password so I don't know it.
Then I'll be done with Fortnite forever.

@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialHey, anybody wanna team up in Steal The Brainrot in Fortnite as a teammate?
My internet is bad and that's why I would suggest you invite me or I you to a private session.
The more the merrier: if we network with more steal the brainrot gamers here on the fediverse we can collaborate and share our brainrots between each other.
You don't know how the game brainrot works? I'll show you for FREE!
