The last pair kicks I ever bought from the shop was Meow Soles.

Haven't bought any since besides as a free reward or the passes when they happened to add them.

[normal eagle]

so i was gonna wait for the 19th so i could get the free version of decisive strike in dead by daylight, but i got impatient and just bought the DLC it came with originally

[gloomy shuttle]

Cuz I do wanna get the Crew so I can start doing the Rocket Pass

[gloomy shuttle]

Also, Season 8 OG is totally gonna have a Peely reskin.

[gloomy shuttle]

If Regular Show in Fortnite happens to be the case and with a Rigby sidekick.

I get the feeling Rigby's emote would be something like this:

[wild shale]

oh yeah rigby should be a sidekick rather than in a mech

eggman with a sonic sidekick 🔥

[gloomy shuttle]

He's rumored to be

I don't necessarily mind mech skins tho

[gloomy shuttle]

If anyone plays Rocket League, I need a party for XP reasons.

[ornate zinc]

Nah, instead chao

[tall forge]

Soup

[ornate zinc]

We’re gonna get up 1,400 vbucks over the two weeks from how boring the shops are gonna be for the next 2 weeks

[tall forge]

Yup

Only remotely interesting items are the 2 kicks

[ornate zinc]

Yep

Unless the crash bandicoot collab is encrypted this update

At most, we only know Kizuna AI and a new wave of Adventure Time.

And then potentially Regular Show, but nothing's set in stone for that one

Well, here's the character from Fall Guys.

[normal eagle]

its hilarious seeing twitter and reddit whine about this being nick eh 30's fault even though shockwaves have been problematic for years

[gloomy shuttle]

Her bundle is also decrypted

[fresh falcon]

They're doing a duos cup for her

[tall forge]

Idk why she’s being added

[fresh falcon]

She took a break couple years back and now she's coming back to streaming

[tall forge]

She looks really weird compared to most skins

[fresh falcon]

Well, she did have a contract earlier with fall guy for her skin for that game. So it makes sense, it would be easy for that again

[tall forge]

But like…. From what I know of she was known for fall guys since she had the most crowns at one point

Did she play Fortnite even?

[wary loom]

Fine addition to my collection

[ornate zinc]

It only one POI, and like 3 items, basically no weapons

FireMonkey (@FireMonkey)

With Kizuna AI (VTuber Icon) officially coming to Fortnite on January 16, here's a small fun fact!

Fun fact: She played Fortnite all the way back in 2018 (Chapter 1, Season 3)!!

▶ Play video

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 10, 2026, 8:43 PM

[hollow willow]

I thought Kizuna was AI not human

[ornate zinc]

she is, but people are getting confused with her being actual nasty AI, than a person roleplaying

[hollow willow]

strange

[normal eagle]

shes a real person, but using an vtuber model if im correct

[fresh falcon]

She probably came up with the name before AI became a toxic word used by companies & tech bros to sell generative AI

Even though AI has been always been used for basically computer related thing since the 80s

But it also open the Pandora box for different things. Now, Vtubers are on the menu for possible skins in fortnite

[tall forge]

Which is wild that she got a skin before like actual Fortnite content creators

[ornate zinc]

I think miku might have been the one to open that box tbh
They alway had Kizuna, but they weren’t allowed to use her in fortnite until now

[fresh falcon]

Miku is a vocaloid a not vtuber

[ornate zinc]

Still counts

[fresh falcon]

There's people that would fight you tooth and nail what you said is wrong

[gloomy shuttle]

Trying to level up in Rocket League atm.

Currently at Level 9.

[fresh falcon]

It's gonna take forever, especially because it's a three month season and usually to do the full season pass is around sometimes three hundred

[ornate zinc]

Thing is with Japanese companies is that they usually don’t collabs much with companies outside of japan, and if they do, they have more strict rules

Miku is a huge IP, if you get a huge IP like her in, you’ll basically have a easier time convincing other small Japanese IP to collab with you

[gloomy shuttle]

I just want reach to Level 70.

[fresh falcon]

That's understandable

[gloomy shuttle]

That's it.

1,000 Credits and I'll save them for whenever they add a car in Fortnite I might want.

That or the 1989 Batmobile

[fresh falcon]

I'll give you that

[gloomy shuttle]

That and I kinda want the Daft Punk rewards too.

I haven't activated the Rocket Pass yet cuz I'm waiting to start activating the Crew membership.

But I wanna do it at a time where I can complete both Music Passes. lol

Since February 5th is the new Music Pass

I don't know what would be a reasonable time to renew it

[ornate zinc]

So you’re completing the Rocket League pass, shouldn’t be too hard

I’m trying to get the pickaxe for top 500 in some of the regions

[fresh falcon]

I'm trying to figure out what they will do for the next music pass

[gloomy shuttle]

I wish I could do a party session for Rocket League cuz that is a faster way to get XP rolling.

[fresh falcon]

Because they're almost draining out of popular artists that people actually care about

[gloomy shuttle]

People be yelling for Taylor Swift lately.

Which meh

[fresh falcon]

I'm not surprised they're probably saving her for particular low point

[gloomy shuttle]

I would love a Weird Al-focused Fortnite Festival.

[fresh falcon]

Same

[gloomy shuttle]

Just cuz it'd be funny and fun to have Jam Tracks of his music

[fresh falcon]

It depends if he's okay with having his likeness, shooting people, even in fortnite

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah true.

[gloomy shuttle]

As far as Music Passes go, it mainly depends on the musician/artist that I care about enough to feel excited.

[fresh falcon]

Unless there's a particular artist that I like I just do it for some of the cosmetic stuff that comes with it & maybe sometimes other music

[gloomy shuttle]

Very much this for me too.

Most of the time, I do want Jam Tracks cuz every couple times there's a song I'd want or some cosmetics look compelling.

Gotta say though, LiSA's Music Pass might be personally my least favorite.

[fresh falcon]

The only thing that I liked about this particular pass is that some of the cosmetic items were good Otherwise, yeah same

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, a few cosmetics are fine.

But I just don't like the song choices as Jam Tracks this wave, I don't like the fact one of the free emotes is based around an AI generated song on top of it, etc.

Even the last pass was better and it didn't have a headlining artist. :v

[fresh falcon]

Okay, I'm still wondering what's up with that Brazilian song that had the fake miku AI art on it

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah.. I have no idea either.

[fresh falcon]

And of course, it was free, though I was cursed with it

[gloomy shuttle]

Every time they keep shoving it on me (even if free). I put them in the archives to where I never see them show up.

[ornate zinc]

God, i hate how empty this update is

[fresh falcon]

It's mostly a south park update at this point

The only thing that came out is the doctor disrespect broccoli man

[gloomy shuttle]

The Broccoli's alright

[fresh falcon]

I'm just not buying it because it's not anything. I want from that

[gloomy shuttle]

Same, I don't care enough for it. But it fine.

[ornate zinc]

Waiting for this to happen already

[fresh falcon]

The only thing they did with fallout was during the wrecked season

[ornate zinc]

They haven’t brought back the backbling for it in the shop

[gloomy shuttle]

The rumor is just that the Amazon Prime Fallout series is getting a Collab in Fortnite

[fresh falcon]

That's understandable

[gloomy shuttle]

Because it was on the list of names that almost have accurately been true.

[fresh falcon]

Not that major fan of fallout.The only thing I actually like was ironically enough is the power suit

[gloomy shuttle]

Fallout (Amazon Prime), Wicked, & Crash Bandicoot are the last ones listed

[fresh falcon]

out of the three I like crash bandicoot, the other two. I'm like lacklusterly not caring

[gloomy shuttle]

Same, I want a Crash Bandicoot skin.

[fresh falcon]

I definitely hope that regular show rumor is true

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't care if he's stretched or mech.

[ornate zinc]

I genuinely just don’t like how a bunch of the shop skins are collabs

[gloomy shuttle]

I believe it tbh.

I'm sure the 22nd will probably add some more original skins.

And other cosmetics.

[ornate zinc]

Out of the 57 shop skins, there only 13 original skins

[gloomy shuttle]

I won't deny, I do wish there could've been a few more original skins/cosmetics into this update just a bit to help even it out especially with the shop for the next two weeks feeling a bit dry.

I still think the Grizzly Bear skin is gonna be a Shop skin instead of a Crew skin.

But we'll find out in two weeks.

If he is, then I'll accept to be proven wrong with that.

Probably gonna this as the February Crew skin or something

[lapis arch]

Must have been the wind

[ornate zinc]

Nah too similar to another crew pack

[normal eagle]

two disconnects at game start on my most recent dbd match

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm just saying, it could be a pretty meh skin for all we know. 😭

Crew skins are just a roll of a dice.

Unrelated, but I've made to Level 12 in the Rocket Pass so far.

[ornate zinc]

i’m currently rocking this edit style of kington

[gloomy shuttle]

How do you feel on the Super Styles this season btw?

[gloomy shuttle]

It's not to say there isn't occasionally a good Crew skin, but it just varies sometimes.

[ornate zinc]

I like the colors

[gloomy shuttle]

Was a little unsure at first, but I've been warming up to them. I really love Modern Noir.

But Paradise Palms is a close one too

They're at least visually more interesting than say some of the Chapter 5/6 Super Styles.

Season 1 usually has the best Super Styles across both previous chapters, and 7's no exception.

I get at least your hoping for the Bear skin as part of the Crew just cuz it would mean he'd have multiple alt color options potentially especially for his clothing.

Ted Timmins (@JustTeddii)

This is fundamentally not the case. The team came to their own conclusions, and don’t make decisions unilaterally based on a single opinion. The start of Season 1 had a combat fleeing issue that can spoil engagements. The team felt this needed a meta change and I support intentional experimentation. Like anything the team will monitor to refine and balance in future updates based on internal data and sentiment, with Fortnite having a great track record of vaulting / unvaulting items. If we are being honest with ourselves, as much as we all love shockwaves is it actually skilful to just throw one at your feet and immediately be able to escape an engagement? I’d love to read respectful opinions on this for and against; is it skill? Is it a crutch? Is the item a necessity? Are there other ways to rotate that are underutilised?
To conclude; we shouldn’t tolerate targeting individual members of the community or the team so to keep this constructive dialogue going please stay resp…

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 11, 2026, 6:06 PM

Regarding the Shockwave Grenade thing from the current head of Battle Royale. ^^;

[ornate zinc]

Tbf, not a lot of people like nick eh 30

[gloomy shuttle]

I also don't like nor care about him either.

I don't really keep up on the content creator stuff personally.

I only brought it up cuz this Ted is the guy who's now been handling the BR stuff lately.

[ornate zinc]

It a neat pickaxe

[hollow willow]

im really annoyed that cube-head astronaut guy doesn't have red cube back bling

[ornate zinc]

A lot of people aren’t happy about that

[hollow willow]

oh im not only one :/

[ornate zinc]

Frankly just make the red edit style come with it

Or make the purple cube backbling have a red style because of OG

[hollow willow]

yeah

[gloomy shuttle]

It's neat, too bad I don't got a phone that would play Fortnite like that.

[hollow willow]

like wtf

[gloomy shuttle]

But I like the colors for the pickaxe

I do like that the mini passes are back tho into Chapter 7.

Part of me hopes they can vary them around sometimes.

Like ones that can just be free or come with a premium track. That or sometimes it can be original-focused, others being collab-specific.

Maybe not too often, but a rare moment in a chapter of that would be neat.

[ornate zinc]

They made it free because crew would have gotten it automatically for free due to the advertising of it

Would’ve probably came with butter or cartman for the pass

[gloomy shuttle]

Definitely Butters

[fresh falcon]

It's similar to what they did with the dragon ball Z mini pass right

[gloomy shuttle]

Yep

And I'm fine with that.

[ornate zinc]

Would’ve been funny if they made the pass come with kenny for free

[gloomy shuttle]

Man, I would totally go at it for Kenny if they did. lol

[ornate zinc]

It would’ve been funny cause kenny is broke, and even in the trailer he playing as a free skin lmao

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah. xD

It's just the free pass happening reminded me how much I missed them a lot during Chapter 5.

I wouldn't mind if we get a Mini Pass event in akin to "Most Wanted" tho where it highlighted an original skin.

[fresh falcon]

The only thing is that it's going to take a while because they're like doing this every other couple of days because unlocking the cred and member berries

[normal eagle]

yea hes just the scapegoat

but also, they needed to go, they've made solos miserable to play

[gloomy shuttle]

Especially with the fleeing.

[gloomy shuttle]

The only things I want in the pass is mainly the glider, Cheesy Poofs Rocket emote and the Terrence and Phillip pickaxes.

Already got one Member berry.

Also in retrospect, I'm refunding the Pulp Fiction dance. Not really getting much use out of it than I initially thought.

Ugh, I hate Fortnite added In-Island Transactions into Creative maps now cuz I worry one of the maps I grind could implement it.

And I wanna start activating the Crew membership soon

[limpid reef]

it is skillful because its very easy to crash into something if you dont position yourself right but its also frankly a pain to deal with

that is very in line with shooter design, most options are in some way one-sided

it sticks out in part because the game doesnt have super fast base mobility so theres no real way to chase after someone but also like

[tall forge]

Soup

[limpid reef]

shooters dont put a lot of pressure on you to defend usually?

guns dont lend themselves well to defensive playstyles. generally what cover is for but out in the open its like good luck!

so its kinda weird when it does give you that

especially when its like. strong.

[normal eagle]

the humble shotgun

[gloomy shuttle]

In fairness, I'm not bothered on their removal. But I know Alpha had some annoyances about how people would often try to run away.

And I wanted to hear his overall thoughts.

[limpid reef]

i havent played in a month so i dont entirely. register it honesly

[ornate zinc]

Now next they need to remove cars

[limpid reef]

but! shooters tend to be very. aggressive if not given adequate cover

[gloomy shuttle]

That's fine.

[limpid reef]

shotguns are kind of. weird

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't see what would be the benefit to cars then, you just kinda minimize their use.

[limpid reef]

mostly pump shotguns i think auto shotguns get used like closer range smgs LMAO

[gloomy shuttle]

Just nerf the cars and their fuel.

[ornate zinc]

Revert them to pre wrecked

[gloomy shuttle]

That's what I would prefer too

[limpid reef]

yeah i. i kinda like how they worked before

cars are fun when you use them for like two seconds and then bail

[gloomy shuttle]

If they revert them back to how they were in early Chapter 5 before Wrecked, I wouldn't mind that.

[ornate zinc]

They used to take damage off road and were slower

Oh and lower hp

[tall forge]

This chapter barely has cars and gas stations

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah

Which that's fine

They we're everywhere in Chapter 6. lol

Chapter 7 needed to lessen them a little.

[ornate zinc]

I still see them a lot

[tall forge]

I just see reboot vans

[gloomy shuttle]

Just change the boost thing back to pre Wrecked and nerf the HP and that'd be good enough

[tall forge]

Dang there was something I wanted todo but forgot

[ornate zinc]

These come out today

[tall forge]

And only 600

Also the bottom part isn’t all white like it is in the trailer

And a double pog

[ornate zinc]

Steal the brainrot gone

[fresh falcon]

it finally dead

[limpid reef]

that is. surprising

[gloomy shuttle]

Wow, it's like the idea of In-Island Transactions was awful for Creative. Who would've thought.

But fr, huzzah for the brainrot being gone.

[ornate zinc]

More temporary

Tho fortnite doesn’t like these black markets and any things that can get them in trouble

[normal eagle]

which makes you wonder why they added in game purchases to creative in the first place

like it doesnt take a 500 IQ genius to realize this was going to be a horrible idea

[ornate zinc]

Metaverse
Tho these creators are already payed by playercounts

[normal eagle]

exactly, so why do they need even more money

we all know it aint going to make their creative gamemodes better

[ornate zinc]

Epic gonna pull the plug on fall guys because of Fortnite metaverse /j

Cause of budget cuts

[lapis arch]

I cannot wait for chapter 8 to introduce premium power ups to battle royale

And a new gambling mechanic when you want to buy a skin

[normal eagle]

im waiting for a cod style loadout system you have to grind out every weapon in order to have optimal attachments (they'd bring them back in chapter 8)

[lapis arch]

Oh did you heard that

Now any skin with styles will have the sidekick treatment!!!!

Including battle pass ones, so screw you if you change your mind!!!!

[ornate zinc]

But yes, season 2 had the black markets grind bitcoin quest and the npc grind quests

[normal eagle]

eh yea i guess your right

still, im just waiting for the inevitable 'warzonification' of fortnite where they add a gulag system 💀

that and the loadouts are why i hate playing warzone

[gloomy shuttle]

Just cuz Fortnite wants to be like Roblox and this belief of needing to be a metaverse instead of just ironing out the new modes they've had already that barely get a ton anyway.

[gloomy shuttle]

Premium power ups where you need to spend V-Bucks for.. this is why the idea of them shifting to UEFN for future chapters worries me now. 💀

I still find Fortnite fun sometimes, but I do not like Epic Games as far as their business practices go.

[gloomy shuttle]

I've never played a single CoD, so I wouldn't know how it plays out.

[tall forge]

Me bored

[gloomy shuttle]

I think I'll renew the Crew around Tuesday or Wednesday so that I can try to complete the upcoming Music Pass in a week.

I'm trying to think how long I could get to complete the new Music Pass itself. Especially needing to find a better solution to the XP grind now.

[ornate zinc]

Just renew it when you complete it

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, I guess that's also true.

[ornate zinc]

Or renew it in march

[gloomy shuttle]

The idea I had was just renew it mid January for everything within the passes for Season 1.

Then depending on Season 2's length, renewing it in mid April.

[ornate zinc]

Did you finished and claim everything from OG pass

Basically the second half

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, I should be able to.

I was immediately rewarded the second half of the passes' contents surprisingly.

[ornate zinc]

Then yeah march or april

[gloomy shuttle]

For Season 2?

[ornate zinc]

Yes, OG, and the Music pass, and the lego pass

[gloomy shuttle]

Understood. 👌

Mid April is at least the plan for Season 2 cuz by then the LEGO stuff resets and I can level those up by then.

And March being OG. But depends on when the second half gets unlocked. lol

[ornate zinc]

Lego passes usually are double levels

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, much like the Music Pass.

Only Battle (minus the bonuses) & OG are 1 level each.

Mostly just analyzing the scheduling for the passes and planning ahead in case.

[quick orbit]

Hello

[ornate zinc]

Yeah you don’t have to worry much unless they make a actual good crew pack

[quick orbit]

Someone want to play with me

[gloomy shuttle]

If the February Crew skin is the Bear, then that'd be awesome.

At least it means he'd get the different colors.

Although nothing's set in stone.. I do think maybe the schedule could probably be this if no mini seasons:

Season 1 - Nov 29th thru Mar 4th
Season 2 - Mar 4th thru Jun 4th
Season 3 - June 4th thru Sept 3rd (Collab season?)
Season 4 - Sept 3rd thru November 28th.

Season 3 probably being a "Collab" season.

Oh hi ||grunkle St||-

[earnest hill]

https://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-pokemon-2026-sets-officially-announced/ my bank account will never recover from this

[wary loom]

i would love to see how big it is

[earnest hill]

its 6000 pieces for the big one, so pretty big

actually almost 7000 pieces

[wary loom]

the question is how big are those pieces

Are they size of Lego Bowser or smaller

[earnest hill]

it says on the box the big one is 50cm x 54 cm (19.7 x 21.3 freedom units)

[wary loom]

oh yeah i ve found it

a lot of small pieces sadly

[earnest hill]

honestly, all things considered its a pretty fair price point for lego. Usually its like 10 cents a piece

I can't afford it anytime soon, but maybe someday

none of the smaller sets interest me. I was never all that into Evee or Pikachu

I sure hope so. 🥲

My dream would be an ARMS anime that actually emphasizes on the worldbuilding and characters if they can't through the games.

[wary loom]

Next will be probably Animal Crossing, Kirby or Donkey Kong spin off

[ornate zinc]

Animal crossing technically did happened with the OVA, and so did kirby

Kirby had the last few episodes be a movie to end it

[wary loom]

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-drive-pokemon-fast-gif-11369052

[gloomy shuttle]

Splatoon, Fire Emblem and Xenoblade are huge no-brainers.

As anime adaptations

Splatoon is HUGE over there.

[wary loom]

Fire Emblem would require either 12 hour movie or very long anime

[gloomy shuttle]

A long-term anime

[ornate zinc]

Mid getting a mid anime smh

[wary loom]

Donkey Kong spin off is possible i would say

[gloomy shuttle]

Rather be that than more "general" Mario. I wouldn't mind spin offs.

[wary loom]

They have model, backstory and now give him some adventure and you have tv series or movie

[gloomy shuttle]

I believe a DK spin-off will happen, but after the second Mario.

[wary loom]

they cant put too many Mario movies, because games never had too much story

It isnt Sonic that from one game you can make full movie and still make interesting addition

[gloomy shuttle]

Luigi's Mansion and Donkey Kong only come to mind for spin offs at least.

Maybe Wario Land if they ever want to test the waters.

But that is very unlikely

[wary loom]

Wario land is almost dead

[gloomy shuttle]

It's been dead

Only Ware lives

And to be real, the only Wario thing we'll ever get is probably a WarioWare Anime

Where it'd be like a comedic slice of life anime with the usual wacky shenanigans or something like that within Diamond City.

[gloomy shuttle]

I could see them attempting Star Fox at least someday whether a film or an anime.

At least if they ever plan to try reviving it again in the coming years

[ornate zinc]

General audiences would prefer that than fire emblem ship slop anime

[wary loom]

They can go with family comedy always and try Bowser and Bowser jr adventures

[gloomy shuttle]

Fire Emblem still does well enough, especially within Japan.

[ornate zinc]

Some of the games are still gross

[gloomy shuttle]

The shipping stuff around it (in the games that did) are weird/gross, that is no denying. 😖

(I've only played Echoes and Heroes and have seen about Awakening at most.)

But my point was, it's still big to Nintendo that of course the idea of a Fire Emblem anime is likely on the table amongst their major IP's if not specifically limiting to those few ones Nintendo sees as important.

Not counting those that had some form of media years prior, the only other options would be Splatoon (which duh), Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, WarioWare, Xenoblade, and maybe if they're lucky.. StarFox & ARMS.

[gloomy shuttle]

I can see them continuing the Mario movies under Illumination and have a few spin off ones to branch around.

Maybe an animated TV show for a new general Mario or DK series, maybe an anime adaptation of the Mario & Luigi (or) Paper Mario games.

Of course, a WarioWare Anime that's a comedic slice of life.

Fionna & Cake are confirmed now btw.

[normal eagle]

animal crossing anime

[sand wraith]

you got the friends but still feel empty 😔

[ornate zinc]

disappointed that lemongrab was the third slot

Like it was either huntress or ice king/simon

[normal eagle]

huntress, dbd reference

[gloomy shuttle]

Huntress I definitely expect to be in a third wave if they've gotten more characters.

[ornate zinc]

Shush

[normal eagle]

[gloomy shuttle]

Ice King is assumed to also be part of it.

But apparently it could just be cosmetics.

[normal eagle]

[gloomy shuttle]

Watch that we get a Gunter Sidekick.

[ornate zinc]

Surprised that cake didn’t get a alt style, and got the same treatment as jake

[gloomy shuttle]

Wave 3 for skins would probably be something like Huntress and Flame Princess or whatnot.

Assuming Ice King/Simon is a skin in Wave 2.

[normal eagle]

wave 3???

[gloomy shuttle]

Well that confirms Ice King now

[gloomy shuttle]

Wave 2

Adventure Time only had one wave last year.

Now it's getting a second wave.

Ice King (Adventure Time) was rumored for a good while as he had his drum kit potentially planned.

I'm hoping Cowboy Bebop with a second wave a little. Mainly for Jet & an Ein sidekick bundled (assuming Ed wouldn't be a skin per say).

[ornate zinc]

2,000 vbucks

[gloomy shuttle]

For the Ein sidekick, probably.

[tall forge]

Dang Fortnite lately is getting like really banger collabs

[ornate zinc]

Finally the pickaxe was given out

[tall forge]

No

[gloomy shuttle]

Most of them have been pretty good barring a few that aren't.

Loving that we're getting more Cartoon/Anime collabs, hoping we see more Video Game collabs mixed in eventually.

Other than that, I do hope the next update does provide some more new original skins for the shops.

It's oddly light on that for this update.

[ornate zinc]

The prince from Katamari as a pet, but his ball grows base on the elimination you have or previous items collects with extremely low poly models

[normal eagle]

i was so close to a 4k but i had a survivor emote tech in the exit gate

[ornate zinc]

Wth random movie collab

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, and it's just a backbling and pickaxe.

[gloomy shuttle]

I did remember throwing that as an idea maybe. Throw in a Jam Track and that'd be good.

[wild shale]

lego pikachu as a sidekick

[gloomy shuttle]

Honestly, Sidekicks do open up for probably more Indie character collabs too actually that wouldn't ever be possible for a skin.

Cuphead & Mugman sidekicks + King Dice skin.

[gloomy shuttle]

Doubt it.

[wild shale]

chat this is so sad

[gloomy shuttle]

What happened, Taz?

[wild shale]

you hafta buy the big set of the starters to get this

[earnest hill]

I really, really want the starters set, but theres no way I can justify buying something that expensive for myself

[wild shale]

it does look good but yeah

im gonna grab the eevee cause it looks the most accurate by far which is funny cause its the cheapest

pikachu looks like its has an alergic reaction

[gloomy shuttle]

Haven't really touched on LEGO in a very long time.

Like actual LEGO sets

It's not really my thing.

[charred axle]

Noir Ragatha Has Arrived

[ornate zinc]

Expensive decorations tbh

[normal eagle]

i tried ordering a gangle plushy but the card i was trying to use kept getting denied

but also

[ornate zinc]

Which one

[normal eagle]

it was a prepaid debit card... i didnt read it carefully it said it can only be used in the US and i guess glitch isnt based in the US

[ornate zinc]

Did you register it for online purchases

[normal eagle]

i was able to buy stuff on steam with it. so id assume so

[ornate zinc]

Hm, i guess the only way to use it is third party like ebay

[normal eagle]

i dont trust ebay

[ornate zinc]

Fair enough

[normal eagle]

also dont you need to bid on stuff on ebay? or am i thinking of another website

[charred axle]

Oof

Hope You're Able to Buy it with a Different Card Soon

[charred axle]

There are Listings where You can just Buy the Product (Or Send Them an Offer if they Allow It)

Tbh though, I Wish they Just Said Q1 2026 instead of Early 2026, cause When I Think of Early, I Think January, or February at Most

I Wonder if that's when the Next Patch will be

[normal eagle]

i pulled off a play in dead by daylight i never thought i could

I timed dead hard perfectly against nurse

[gloomy shuttle]

Alright, I think I'm gonna start renewing my Crew membership now.

I've got at least a 7 Day deadline for unlocking everything in the upcoming Music Pass.

Just need to get to 60 account levels during February 5th before hand.

[tall forge]

Well for a collab that is underwhelming

[gloomy shuttle]

Still not as underwhelming as how they did Yu-Gi-Oh with it just being Kicks.

[tall forge]

Pardon?

[gloomy shuttle]

They added Joey Wheeler's shoes during C6S4, but that was all.

[gloomy shuttle]

These ones.

Just a random Yu-Gi-Oh collaboration that came and went.

Also, got the Rocket Pass as well.

[tall forge]

No you didn’t

[gloomy shuttle]

But yeah, I should be finished with the Battle Pass pretty soon and then that should be every pass until February 5th.

[tall forge]

I have like 30 more levels left with the pass

[wild shale]

probably a few weeks after the next patch drops

also the switch 2 version looks really good

[charred axle]

I Just Hope it'll be On Cart lol

[charred axle]

It Looks Pretty Much the Same as it Does on Other High End Consoles and PC, and the Fact that they were Able to Do that with UE5 is Incredible

[wild shale]

its probably the most optimised UE5 game ive played tbh

I also don't care for Kizuna AI too much either, but I knew she was in Fall Guys and that's my own thing knowing about her.

And that she was a V-Tuber.

I didn't know she made songs til a couple days back.

[ornate zinc]

Ugggggggghhhhh waiting for tboi repentance plus dlc to come out on switch 2

[gloomy shuttle]

Tboi?

[ornate zinc]

The binding of isaac

[gloomy shuttle]

Oooh

[ornate zinc]

Basically edmund mcmillen’s biggest game

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm sure maybe it'll happen on Switch 2.

[ornate zinc]

It did

I’m just waiting for a release date now

[normal eagle]

[ornate zinc]

Heard that it will get a console port but not immediately

[normal eagle]

yea

[ornate zinc]

So, all orange army then

[normal eagle]

absolutely

[normal eagle]

so hytale... imma be real it looks like a cheap minecraft knock off

[ornate zinc]

That because it kinda is

[normal eagle]

why were people hyped for it???

[ornate zinc]

Because it was made by fans of minecraft who run the hypixel servers or something

[normal eagle]

i see

[ornate zinc]

But like, it kinda trying to be terraria and Minecraft

[normal eagle]

why wouldnt i just play either of those games instead

[ornate zinc]

Play terraria it has cats pets

That don’t die

Plus a banging soundtrack

[normal eagle]

i cant get into terraria, ive tried multiple times

[ornate zinc]

Slow start?

[normal eagle]

i guess

but it might also be that i dont enjoy survival games too much

[tall forge]

She has 3 songs?

[fresh falcon]

Anyone interested in doing the kizauna ai duos cup

Because i'm interested in doing that cup

[ornate zinc]

Aren’t the rewards like extremely high

[fresh falcon]

I do know that the new daego skin is currently in the rotation of the rank cups, including duos

And the one on the 16th is a regular br that I need an umbrella for

[ornate zinc]

I mean, i guess we can try

NAC is about to start

But NAE starts soon

[fresh falcon]

Which one would probably have much better odds?

[ornate zinc]

We can do both

[fresh falcon]

It's up to you, I can do both

[ornate zinc]

Both it is then

[fresh falcon]

okay i'm getting myself prepared

[ornate zinc]

You still remember the strategy from last time

[fresh falcon]

I just got into diamond 3 on zero built reload

[ornate zinc]

Reload is difficult

[fresh falcon]

Yeah, I've been doing it on squad, and it depends on the team

[ornate zinc]

Don’t think we’re gonna get the skin, it worth trying anyway

[fresh falcon]

k

I'm almost close to getting that emote

I do have the bar wrap

[ornate zinc]

Yep expected

[fresh falcon]

Dam

[ornate zinc]

Well it a anime girl skin, expect the sweatiest of players to be on this tournament

[ornate zinc]

Was planning to skybase, but got shot off the sky

I don’t think we’re gonna make it this tournament

[fresh falcon]

Yeah I can tell

Okay, we can try the other cup to get the diego skin and my umbrella on 16th

[ornate zinc]

Oh yeah we can try

Elite Daigo skin is top 2 players in elite

4 in champion
And 10 in unreal

[fresh falcon]

I'm currently bronze in built Because you know I don't do that mode

[ornate zinc]

We have sunday with zero build

[fresh falcon]

I'll try some with somebody else to get the umbrella and then we'll do zb

[ornate zinc]

Got it

Welp for now, i’m gonna do my vbucks missions

[fresh falcon]

[ornate zinc]

nope

Just basic rank up

[wild shale]

i didnt realise how few games ive actually played on switch

[gloomy shuttle]

Ah gotcha

[gloomy shuttle]

I do need to complete objectives for the Dark Voyager however

[ornate zinc]

This is basically what i do for most of the match

[gloomy shuttle]

Ya know, I might do that if it means I can get to a specific rank.

[ornate zinc]

Not in duos

[gloomy shuttle]

Ah, it's a Solo thing

[ornate zinc]

Yes for obvious reasons

[gloomy shuttle]

Well, at least we're a week away til the next update.

[ornate zinc]

Got the bot alt ready

[gloomy shuttle]

We'll see if there's hope for the Bear.

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh dang, I just kinda left out. 💀

My Switch needed to charge and in an hour or so I'd need to sleep.

[ornate zinc]

Dang

[gloomy shuttle]

Also was doing Rocket League at the time trying to level up the pass.

I'm at least Level 23 at the moment.

[ornate zinc]

Love the clown car in it in tier 1

[gloomy shuttle]

Same, the Corlay's good.

I'm mainly doing the pass just cuz I can rebuild the Credits for a car again

[wild shale]

i think hope is a different character

[ornate zinc]

Still hilarious that she didn’t get a voice actor until season 3

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh! Getting a member berry has a bit of interactions when looking over the pass.

They just say: "Member ???", then another goes "Oh, I member."

And it's classic era Fortnite things.

Oh right, today's gonna be them confirming more Shop re-runs stuff and maybe a look on the Adventure Time skins.

Probably not gonna be a ton besides the few they placed.

[ornate zinc]

Apparently cartman was supposed to be apart of the battle pass

But gotten their slot traded away

[gloomy shuttle]

My best guess would be Marty McFly being the swap around over Cartman.

Since The Bride at least seemed to be planned from the get-go.

Otherwise, I'm fine with the two we got chosen anyway.

Just got it!

Aw yeah, 500 V-Bucks compensation!

[gloomy shuttle]

Got the Fortnite dailies for now, gonna focus further into Rocket League for today.

Also I know I'm not good at Rocket League, but I sure love it when people tell me to delete the game. 🥲

[ornate zinc]

They’re likely gonna revoke the items or refund people

[fresh falcon]

I bought it before, but I don't have any vbucks for some reason

[ornate zinc]

You have to get the opposite version
If you have apple, you have to get ios

You’ll get 800 vbucks, but these will he likely revoked

[fresh falcon]

I never owned an apple product so okay then

[gloomy shuttle]

Hopefully that doesn't mean I have to buy the game as a result. I got it when it became free. 💀

[ornate zinc]

Considering the items are still in the fortnite shop

Likely refunded or revoked

[gloomy shuttle]

So if refunded, would it mean I lose the extra 500?

[ornate zinc]

I mean did you buy the items in the shop, or get it for free

[gloomy shuttle]

I bought the emote prior

So I got my 500 V-Bucks refunded from my purchase months back

[ornate zinc]

Oh then yeah you’re safe, at worst they’ll revoke the 500 vbucks

[gloomy shuttle]

I used it for a new Jam Track anyway.

[ornate zinc]

But that considering they revoke the items for everyone

[ornate zinc]

Imagine if they revoke the jam track instead

[gloomy shuttle]

Revoked my Stitches it'd be. 😭

[ornate zinc]

@normal eagle remember to file your Orange Taxes
Else the Orange IRS is coming after you

[normal eagle]

i always file my orange taxes

[ornate zinc]

The pasta tax

[normal eagle]

i think i might have filed those

[ornate zinc]

You know what the guards do in orange jail
They just smack you repeatedly

[normal eagle]

like this?

[hollow willow]

Cube head astronaut is completed

[normal eagle]

i could tank that

[ornate zinc]

It by multiple oranges guard

[normal eagle]

how many?

[ornate zinc]

I lost count

But they do that all day

They’re that corrupted

[gloomy shuttle]

I wish I had some help on XP with Rocket League sometimes.

So far I at least made it to Level 31.

Only about 39 levels to go.

Doing so cuz I rather get cars through Rocket League than spending V-Bucks over on Fortnite.

[fresh falcon]

Finally, just entered elite on reload, boy. It was annoying

[ornate zinc]

How i got to unreal was camp early game where i can get kills easily
Then played storm until storm did 5 damage per second

You get to top 5 with no kills and you’ll get 1% - 3% if you’re not killed by someone way lower than you

[fresh falcon]

Good to know

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh right, I still have to do the reload thing.

Also the "WB Mode" is stated to be happening next week.

Which honestly, meh. Not expecting a ton from it that would be interesting.

[normal eagle]

chat i found a cheater in dbd

[ornate zinc]

Oh and the storm start doing 5 damage per hit when respawn is disabled
So take that to your advantage

[normal eagle]

first one in over 400+ hours

[ornate zinc]

Is that a good or a bad thing

[normal eagle]

id say good, but obviously i shouldnt find one in the first place

the cheater was able to sabotage a hook while i was carrying them (no one else was nearby)

she then started to trigger different animations by herself

[ornate zinc]

I mean it good in the past, but it bad now because that means the anti cheat is failing

[normal eagle]

its never been good sadly.

also when the game was f2p for a bit of time on epic that let alot of people create a bunch of accounts to use for cheating

i mean i say that but the cheater was on steam

[ornate zinc]

Cheating on a game you paid for, smh what a idiot

Hot take: Popeyes has great fried chicken

[ornate zinc]

Why would you do that

[tall forge]

Funny number go higher

[ornate zinc]

We’re leaving 67 behind in 2025

[tall forge]

Agreed

Gunter is tempting to get

[gloomy shuttle]

The new Adventure Time emotes are a little meh this time around, but the snowman one is cute.

Ice King probably has the best set out of the four.

I like the skin and the Gunter backbling is good and would probably consider it.

But I'm a neutral fan of Adventure Time, so I probably won't bite for a skin.

[ornate zinc]

Don’t buy anything while you have the dumb ways to die stuff

[gloomy shuttle]

I just now cancelled my purchase on the Stitches Jam Track in case they do happened to update it.

But now I'm scared of potentially getting banned off of Fortnite all because of the fact they had a Dumb Ways to Die offer for free. 😰

[gloomy shuttle]

@ornate zinc Apparently they patched the method of getting 800 V-Bucks glitch (which I didn't) and people who are getting the game for free aren't getting the items anymore.

[ornate zinc]

They literally wouldn’t do that cause that would be their fault than the player 💀

Cause players didn’t break the TOS

Again at worst they’ll revoke the items

[ornate zinc]

Nice

[tall forge]

I do kinda want to get the cake skin

[wary loom]

What starters you got?

[flat crystal]

What is this discord picture for the fg discord?????

[tall forge]

Looks like a basket ball with a face and crown

[radiant pivot]

Guys

I I'm in fall guys fortnite and rocket league

All owned by epic

[flat crystal]

O:

[gloomy shuttle]

I do NOT have hopes for the Fall Guys basketball thing tbh.

Especially since it's likely just FG UEFN physics and potentially implements In-Island Transactions.

So that's gonna be a huge pass.

[gloomy shuttle]

Congrats.

[ornate zinc]

Iggly, and Renée
Oranges as my fruit and a yellow Dodo building

[gloomy shuttle]

I remember Coco was one of my starters the first time playing

[normal eagle]

it bums me out that there were only two personality types you could get as starter villagers

[fresh falcon]

Can somebody tell me what's up with the current icon of the fall guy discord

[gloomy shuttle]

Fall Guys X Fortnite side mode

And it's sports theme

[fresh falcon]

I just got on my laptop for the day

That's neat

[wary loom]

I also had Iggly as starter

He is fine

Renée on the other hand

[ornate zinc]

It here to replace delulu

Since after this weekend delulu is getting axed

[fresh falcon]

Well, luckily, I got the umbrella from that mode

[wary loom]

you try to restart of keep what you have?

[gloomy shuttle]

Eh, never really bothered to touch Delulu

[normal eagle]

oh no... anyways

[ornate zinc]

Kinda for map layout

[gloomy shuttle]

Also, forgive me on my anxiousness or overreaction a bit ago. I was kinda worried on the whole prospect.

[spare egret]

is it possible to see all corrent raiting finals codes?

i want to train some of them but i dont have codes

[ornate zinc]

They’re both fine tbh, if i don’t like them i’ll kick them out later

[gloomy shuttle]

So far they haven't revoked the items yet from what I've seen so far.

[ornate zinc]

They don’t do it immediately because it related to the collab ip

[gloomy shuttle]

Ah, so potentially next week or so.

[tall forge]

I got another nail in a tire

[ornate zinc]

ow

Same wheel or a different one

[tall forge]

Different

Last time it was back right this time back left

[ornate zinc]

Might as well get that tire replaced if you haven’t already

Shockwaves are unvaulted again! 🔥

(Image: @PokeasyFN)

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 16, 2026, 10:46 PM

Well that didn't last long.

[normal eagle]

eww they re-enabled the get out of jail free cards

[tall forge]

Trying to see if it can be patched if not oof

[ornate zinc]

Would’ve done impulse grenade tbh

Since the problem with shockwaves is that they’re too safe

[normal eagle]

yea, but sadly epic dont play their own game

[ornate zinc]

Oh they know, but people were being extremely aggressive online with it being removed

[normal eagle]

||(people that refuse to fight in the BATTLE ROYALE)||

[ornate zinc]

Alpha when was the last time you played BR than ZB

[tall forge]

Nick eh was complaining about crash pads and other mobility items apparently

[normal eagle]

last time i played fortnite, like 3-4 weeks ago

[gloomy shuttle]

Honestly, I just kinda vibe in the Battle Royale sometimes more than taking it seriously

Other times I do take it seriously

[normal eagle]

people actually got into fights in builds

[gloomy shuttle]

But mainly in Zero Build

I don't like the Builds.

I still prefer that over dealing with some Rocket League players tho.

[tall forge]

What’s a rocket league

[gloomy shuttle]

A Rocket that leagues

[normal eagle]

im starting to prefer build for the fact that those players actually want to engage in fights and not treat the pvp game like a pve game fighting only bots

[gloomy shuttle]

And that's fair if you want more of that going.

It's just Builds aren't my thing as much.

But I don't mind playing it at all if some folks prefer those preferences tho.

[normal eagle]

so fun fact, the last time the shockwaves were vaulted in zero build, was 4 years ago

chapter 4 season 1

the last good chapter

[gloomy shuttle]

Like I played Builds with ya awhile ago for instance.

[ornate zinc]

Shockwave hammers

[gloomy shuttle]

Just not quick towards the builds is all, though I kinda appreciate a simple build option they did add into this chapter. lol

[normal eagle]

yea, epic was smart to remove shockwaves for those in a way

[tall forge]

I actually played br quite a lot this season I like the start of this chapter

It will only be a matter of time until it gets ruined lol

[gloomy shuttle]

I do like this season a lot, even if I am mixed on a few places

But I wouldn't be shocked if Chapter 7 later on gets very meh.

[normal eagle]

not a fan of the surfing

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm the opposite, the surfing's fun.

But I'm also glad it's not in every match necessarily.

The idea of having different ways to start a match kinda helps make each match feel a bit different to where you wanna go. The surfing could've maybe have some work to give you more ground to reach, sure. But it's fine.

Same for them implementing different Storm Shapes (even if not "new" thanks to the Simpsons season technically incorporating them).

[ornate zinc]

Surfing is a inconvenience

[normal eagle]

i just hate that it basically limits you and others to land at specific areas

i know its a thing in reload as well, but i feel it works better there

[tall forge]

Reloaded is a smaller island at least

[ornate zinc]

I forgot reload had surfing tbh

[normal eagle]

exactly why i think its better for reload

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, that's fair.

[normal eagle]

like yea this map is smaller than last chapters, but surfing doesnt guarantee you'll get to land where you really want to

[tall forge]

I feel like it’s bigger

[ornate zinc]

It smaller

[tall forge]

Mainly cause there’s barely any cars

[gloomy shuttle]

Definitely smaller than Chapter 6.

But not so small like a reload map.

[gloomy shuttle]

I wouldn't be shocked if the surfing gets removed into next season however.

[normal eagle]

heres the comparison of chapter 6 to chapter 7

[gloomy shuttle]

Chapter 7 is definitely more close in size to a Chapter 3 map

[normal eagle]

it looks roughly on par with the end of chapter 4

or yea a bit like chapter 3

[tall forge]

Nah you scaled it differently

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't know what to expect with Season 2 other than, I hope it's at least decent-good.

But typically they don't sometimes since Chapter 5.

Season 1 usually is a good start, then Seasons 2-4 or whatever tend to vary in quality.

[gloomy shuttle]

Sucked that I was late into Fortnite to get into Chapters 3 and 4.

[tall forge]

Actually chapter 6 season 2 was my favorite season that chapter

[gloomy shuttle]

I like Chapter 6, Season 2 fine enough.

[tall forge]

Seasons 3 was pretty good then season 4 was bad

[gloomy shuttle]

I enjoyed the Electric Bat more than the Katana from the previous season.

[gloomy shuttle]

And Star Wars mini season was worse

[tall forge]

Yup

[gloomy shuttle]

While I actually kinda like The Simpsons season fine enough.

[tall forge]

Went from ok great awful good then bad

[normal eagle]

its so funny how much more effort went into the simpsons season than the starwars one

[gloomy shuttle]

Not great, but better than the Star Wars one

[tall forge]

Me is completely fine with that lol

[normal eagle]

yea same

[gloomy shuttle]

The Star Wars milking was so dry to Epic at that point

[tall forge]

Can’t wait for weird proportion r2d2

Skin

[ornate zinc]

Oh

[normal eagle]

i must be missing some deadpool lore

[ornate zinc]

Jeff

[gloomy shuttle]

Same too

[normal eagle]

i thought gwenpool owned jeff

[gloomy shuttle]

For me with Chapter 6 it was:

Good, pretty good, awful, pretty good, between meh to bad, and decent.

[ornate zinc]

She gave him to deadpool
Then emma frost fell in love with jeff

[normal eagle]

ohh

and how does jeff feel about this

[ornate zinc]

Since gwen is only alive when she in a comic

[tall forge]

Still got about 30 minutes to kill

[gloomy shuttle]

Chapter 5 was: Really good, okay, decent though tiring, bad (with the exception of Fortnitemares).

[normal eagle]

do an isaac run

[gloomy shuttle]

Season 3 seems to potentially be a full collab season, to who we don't know.

Assuming no mini seasons anyway.

[tall forge]

Me ain’t home

Gotta buy isaac for iOS

[normal eagle]

[gloomy shuttle]

Because apparently rumors are suggesting that we're leaving the Chapter 7 island on June 4th?

[tall forge]

Oh delulu is being canned?

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, next week.

Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus)

We've temporarily disabled the Dumb Ways To Die Fortnite item gift bundle to prevent an issue with players in Fortnite receiving duplicate cosmetics and V-Bucks. The bundle will be available again on January 22nd at 11am ET.

Fortnite players who redeemed multiple free copies and incorrectly received 800 V-Bucks will have the V-Bucks removed in the coming days.

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 16, 2026, 11:27 PM

Well, there's the official status.

[ornate zinc]

Yep, don’t buy anything for awhile

[gloomy shuttle]

I won't at least until next week or so

After the deadline hits I mean.

[ornate zinc]

It such a scum thing to release the cosmetics with the free game and not give anything to the people who bought it

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah. 🙁

Though it seems to just be towards people who did it multiple times via glitch.

[normal eagle]

epics on a roll with being scummy this chapter and we aint even halfway through this season

[gloomy shuttle]

Which I only got it once on Android and got the backbling and 500 V-Bucks (cuz of buying the emote last chapter) in return.

[gloomy shuttle]

Eeyup, which was why I was anxious into Chapter 7.

Especially with the ways things are going into this so far

[tall forge]

Ugh I need to buy a new one

[gloomy shuttle]

New tire?

[hollow willow]

holy cube

new avatar this server

[gloomy shuttle]

@normal eagle 30 minutes after the unvault post, they vaulted the grenades again.

Vaulted again

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 16, 2026, 11:41 PM

Likely was a mistake.

[ornate zinc]

Fortnite

[tall forge]

Yeah

The tire was patched previously and wasn’t done good so I had to buy a new one

And so I just decided to buy all 4 since it’s cheaper here and the new one that I previously bought will be a new spare

[ornate zinc]

Probably for the best
At least you don’t have to change them out in the next like maybe 5 years

[tall forge]

Yeah

And it has a 50k mile warranty for 6 years

And if I get another nail it will be replaced

Just sucks that I got another nail so soon on a completely different tire

[wooden lagoon]

It's @silk cipher birthday today(or soon will be). Happy birthday, hope you have a great day!
