I don't even know what this is but well, as long as you feel good, I am happy.
it's a video game called fortnite. it's a shooter game. very difficult to play on a switch lite and be competitive in any form. i play at 30 frames per second against people who play at well over 120 frames per second that have played since the beginning of this game several years ago. for me to get my first solo match win is a big deal. they pit you against 100 other players. usually i never make it past 2nd place. but i reset a couple things and that seemed to help. i can manage more kills now. lol! i've had team wins but never any solo wins. i've managed to kill 107 people on this game now. normally i don't like shooter games but i found some that weren't gory and bloody and i play those. it was very exciting last night.
Have you tried any MOBAs yet, like League of Legends or DOTA 2? Not shooting unless your character has a gun, but sometimes there's still skill-shot type people to play.. you use spells to fight, though.

I started playing This Is the Police... and returned to Batman: Arkham City GOTY (I only played like 3 hours of it many years ago, so I started over).
I finished The Witcher 3... pretty much went everywhere and did all the quests I could possibly find.. Completed the DLCs. I added a mod at the end where I could run around with other people to fight with and such, but I ran out of stuff to do lol
i'm not really into spell casting in games. i prefer to kill. lol! _________ i moved this here so we can continue to discuss it...
"Reboot cards? That was not part of the game when I played lol just reviving. I played another game a few weeks back that had that as well, and it was pretty cool.... but also kind of pointless in that game because it took a while for me to return, and my team left long before I hit the ground and enemies were already there waiting lol"
yes reboot cards. you can still revive your teammates but if they die now...you collect their reboot card and head for the reboot van and you can respawn them during gameplay. they have all kinds of new weapons and now they have a new AI post and a new area that is hell to get in and out of due to AI's and other players but there's all kinds of gold loot like legendary weapons and maybe mythics? i haven't ventured that way but i want to. other players call it death valley. lol!!
i will try to check my stats later and let you know how many kills i'm up to. i looked at the gameplay on those moba's but i don't think i'd like them.
tilted towers returned for now to fortnite and there's a cute dinosaur called a klombo on there. i love him! i love to feed him berries and ride him.
i looked at the gameplay on those moba's but i don't think i'd like them.
Well, either way, they are free, so you can test them out if you're ever looking for something new to try. I didn't think I'd like them either because I prefer shooters, but they actually get pretty addictive if you have even just a little bit of a competitive side... I started with LoL then went to DOTA 2. I hated DOTA at first after playing LoL, but now I like it better lol there are some heroes/champions you play that have skill-related spells, so that is where you can use some of your shooter skills.
i found out why they call the new area death valley. it's confusing once inside. you gotta watch for io guards and other players and search for loot. by the time u get out you're lucky if you make it out of storm. it's the hot drop right now. not even the daily bugle is that busy but i don't like the bugle. it's like a giant maze for me. i checked my stats...i have 214 kills now. i just played one where i had 3 kills. two of them were right together and my friend thought i was gonna die right there. lol! they used to hafta come save me all the time and revive me and basically carry me through the game. now they ask if i'm alright over there and off we go. *grins* i still enjoy pickaxing my knock downs when i'm not being sniped. *hehe*
we got on with a friend of my friends and the kid was 15. for some reason the 15 yo's hafta be told to not steal loot. it annoys me greatly. the kid wouldn't shut his pie hole the entire game. i thought the streamer was gonna kick him from the game. i know he thought about it. i was watching him click on his name and the curser was on kick team member.... if he saw 3 purple guns in our stash he kept asking why we had 3 ar's. it's like cuz this is the guns we like. he kept stopping to show off his edit speed in building. then he kept asking me why i had no kills. Matt finally told him to shut up and play. i had to scold the kid once for stealing my loot. i was trying to open a chest and he comes busting in behind me and whacks the bed...steals the loot and runs out. i hate that. i don't like when they steal my kills or my loot. if i knock them down i want to go finish the job. i killed 2 or 3 with the flare gun when i shot it into their builds and caught fire to their world. lmao!
i think i'm becoming more of a threat because they seem to be coming after me hard now that i'm getting better.
i hate valentines day but i had to get the skins and stuff today.
Do the knockdowns count toward you for the kill even if someone steals it now? I played another game (Rainbow Six Siege) that had it so whoever got the last shot was the killer, even if someone else downed them, but now they made it so whoever downs the person gets the kill even if a teammate tries to steal that last hit, which is much better! Because you should not get an assist for doing all the work and someone just basically pokes them at the end to finish them lol that is the true assist.
It's always fun to get better at video games. I'm sure it's much more challenging playing on a Switch, too!
no they literally run over and steal my kills. one night between the loot stealing and the kill stealing i left a squad and a streamer cuz it pissed me off so bad. they're computers are faster so they have everything looted by the time i get there and i'm left with scraps.
I started in on my Animal Crossing again last night. I'm supporting one streamer so I can get into the supporter islands for the stuff I need for my island. I have dumped the Halloween stuff and I'm just gonna shoot for a goth island that's sorta Victorian maybe?
Um sorta but that's not what I want. I'm gonna have a goth island and goth character. There's a white skin I could use for my goth girl. There's many clothing designs I can get once my kiosk at the clothing store opens up. They added some new items so there's this elegant furniture that looks really old fashioned and lovely. Plus I have an idea to transform her home into something more elegant on the outside. For right now I'm still starting out so that will come later. I even have an elegant black car to park next to the house. LOL! I re-subscribed to this one streamer so I could have better treasure island access to help me build the island I want. There's a hanging lamp but until my home design thingie kicks in I can't do anything with it. As I finish the house and my island projects I'll try to get pics to share.
Yesterday on Fortnite was a very sweaty day that involved us dying a lot. I have got to get faster at killing people. I saved my friend once and he thought for sure I was going down. Then I moved a couple steps and BAM! Shot to the head that knocked me down and I died a couple seconds later. One of the games I got killed by a frickin harpoon gun. I was so pissed! LOL!
I think Fortnite is so full of hackers right now that it's making it difficult to enjoy it much anymore. I think if next season is this bad I probably won't buy anymore skins. I'll just use my crew membership and take my one new skin a month and save up my 1000 vbucks that come with it. and the free battlepass. i likely won't play as much. i reconnected with an animal crossing friend so we will get hooked up again.
She is cute. a little broken heart on her face? lol or she is a heartbreaker maybe.
I'm mostly playing DOTA 2 still... we play with my SO's friend. They have been adding a bunch of OP heroes lately.. not liking them at all. They are so hard to win against.
i don't think i'd like dota. so i said i was gonna take a break from fortnite but it irritates me to let the hackers win. so today i did a solo run then i did a squad fill with 3 randos. once two of them saw i was ok we stayed together for 3 or 4 more games. and lately i've been dying right away. today i was saving them and i got 3 or 4 kills in one game. i don't know if they were new or what. u can't do much when you're being pushed by 3 people at once. i knocked 2 and killed the 3rd then the other 2 died and then i died by a 4th party. lol! i got a friend request from another one that i don't know that apparently was spanish and i wasn't messing with that. i know sometimes i have trouble understanding them and it frustrates me. plus i like to know how old they are before i friend them. i don't friend someone's kids under 18. i found a 63 yo grandma on twitch who plays fortnite with her sister and her husband and her 18 yo grandson. lol! i'm trying to practice being family friendly so i can play with them without the expletives that usually come from my mouth. hehe...
So, we returned to Fortnite for the new no-building mode. Just wanted to try it out for a few days. It's much better than with building to me.. it's part of why I left, I was never that into having to build. A lot of times it's why we'd lose lol I'm playing with my SO and his friend. I like being able to climb up on buildings. It's pretty cool, I think they should keep it, whether I play it or not. My wrists can't always handle shooters anymore, so this will just be a temp thing for me even if they keep it lol seems popular, though.
We actually won like our second game playing trios xD Wasn't expecting that. With just me and my SO, we've placed 2nd and 3rd, but no wins yet. We're still trying to re-learn the game. We didn't even know how to share ammo, and that's part of why we got 2nd for one.. I ran out of ammo for my longer ranged gun, so I had to try to get closer to the last person, and I died lol then they killed my SO.
I went fishing, too.. LOL I love fishing in games, I can do it all day. My SO was like, "oh no" when he saw a fishing pole.
Other than that, still mostly playing DOTA!

LMFAO! I read this morning that they're THINKING of making it a permanent mode but not sure if we'll get points for winning which is BS as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully they'll be fair about it. I kinda like the tanks. I'm SKETTI-O if you wanna add me. Just let me know it's you. Some of those guns are fun af! There's one at this one spot that can take them down in nothing flat if your close enough. The streamers have done nothing but whine about the no build mode. I love it.
That's not very nice if they don't let you get points. It's still a real match, so what would be the difference? lol are the streamers starting to suck without their precious buildings to protect them?
I'll add you at another time if we actually end up playing it long-term.. but so you know, we use discord because the in-game comms are super delayed (like a minute or two later, which is really terrible for this type of game), but I don't think you can use it on a switch. Unless you sometimes play on a laptop??
How does cross-platform work on there, btw? Would you have to play with a bunch of PC players? That would be really hard! PC vs console is pretty much unfair xD
Actually I play against whatever. If I do my own thing I can keep up pretty good considering but they're faster (all forms...pc/xbox/ps) I don't have discord anymore. I couldn't figure out how to work it and the damn thing won't accept my password even though I reset it several times and it was ok for that day and then when I try to log in another day it won't take it. I don't have any problem with the in-game comms. I haven't played in a few days. between the streamers whining because they're losing now that they don't have their builds and people have been kinda bitchy on there lately. Plus I finally quit playing squads cuz I got tired of them stealing my kills and my loot. Like when I die...if it's near a reboot van...they take my shit first then reboot me so I can't go back and pick up my stuff. Or if I get a kill they roar through and steal the shit before I even get to see it. It pisses me off. I'm trying to get more kills and I knock em and move in to finish the job and bam...they kill them and take the loot and they're gone. I play duos...duo fills or solos now. I like to go into some of the LTMs. I like the prop hunts and some of the gun games. I wanted to play the unvaulted more cuz I like to explore the different weapons but my teammates decided it was too sweaty for me. I have two guys that enjoy playing with me but they tend to offend with some of the above mentioned. Plus the one guy's daughter and her friend are so annoying I had to put them on mute cuz they were making me crazy on the headset. I hate playing with kids. I get on and I don't get invited to play too much anymore so I just do my own thing. I've been working on my animal crossing instead.
Even when solo they put you against those not on a switch?? I would not like that lol
Yeah, I only know about the comm issues because my SO and I are in the same room together when we play games.. and I'll just hear whatever he said on the mic wayyyy later lol so sometimes we won't know what someone is actually responding to or referring to because it's too far behind. This doesn't really happen in any other games we play, just this one. I kind of feel like this was an issue when we first played for a bit in 2018... so guess they never fixed it.
My SO's friend is kind of a gun hoarder sometimes.. even if he doesn't like the guns or knows it's one someone else is good with xD playing solo is better in that regard... A lot of people don't know how to play team games it seems. It's the same way in DOTA 2.. people just doing their own thing basically... only thinking about themselves. It's part of why I get so sick of multiplayer games and go back to single-player campaigns lol
Last Edit: Mar 28, 2022 13:54:17 GMT -5 by heatherly
i hate that. between that and them stealing loot and kills.
maybe it's cuz you're in the same room. i have no issues with that when playing with others online.
so here's what i know...they were supposed to bring back building but it's f*cked up right now. lol! so they went live with zero build mode which my understanding is...will stay. once they correct the building issues the building will go into LTM and Discovery modes like creative and arena and all the discovery section games. i guess they had a shit ton of players that returned to the game when they dropped the building. the sweaty's are all whining and playing in arena. *grins & giggles* meanwhile my gameplay just keeps improving when i'm not dying. if i invert my colors i can see all kinds of shit that i don't normally but at the same time i can't see where i am on the map. lol!
So the game is easier now without those tryhard builders? xD
Maybe it will be an April Fools joke that they won't be bringing building back.. it's real close lol that would make people freak out I'm sure, so it would be a good trick.
they're gonna bring it back as a permanent option IF you wanna play arena...customs...creative or any of the discovery games. the pubs will be strictly zero build. the non-builders all went to cod warzone and similar games so they're trying to get their fan base back. i can get more kills now cuz this is within my skill set. they make it too easy for the enemy to destroy your cover though. some of the guys don't like my dukes of hazard driving. lmfao! this week i keep getting hit by vehicles in game.
