Fortnite Droid Tycoon B-8 Event

So, I suspect, and hope, that this is just going to become a regular rotating event, especially since the Droid Dex now lists a Mister Bones Mythic as well. Basically, every few hours, there is "some kind of event". Because if not, its been horribly done. So, Droid Tycoon is well, a tycoon game. You get a level 1 base, you buy money generators (Droids), and upgrade the base over time. There isn't really an end aside from collecting all the Droids, you can't even keep them all, you don't have the space. I've gotten into it enough that I…

Duolingo Chess

Or, I did four months of Duolingo Chess so you don't have to. I have a long ass streak on Duolingo. This involves doing it, every day. Am I learning? Mi español es un poco bueno, posiblemente…o posiblemente no. But I am not here today to discuss Spanish, I am here to talk Chess. Part of having a long ass streak is that sometimes I want a break. I find its actually useful to let it sort of sink in, then when I go back, it helps reinforce if I have learned anything, or if I have just been memorizing…

Fortnite – Laufey The Final Hour

I'm not sure what makes for a "good choice" for a Fortnite music collaboration, but I can say Laufey feels like a very different choice for sure. Like Metallica, sure, Lady Gaga, ok, sure, she's got that crazy style and all going, Karol G, uh… sure, Gorillaz, absolutely, Sabrina Carpenter, she looks a little confused as to what she is doing but ok, and now, currently, we have Laufey. It's not any sort of knock on Laufey, I actually really like this and her bouncy jazzy music is pretty good, but it's also, kind of funny that she has skins…

Star Trek Prodigy Supernova

I want to just preface this review/commentary, right up front, that this game is no longer available on Steam. I have no idea about any other platforms or physical releases. Also probably notable, I have only watched maybe 2 episodes of Star Trek Prodigy, and I don't remeber them. That didn't stop me from enjoying the Transformers Earthspark game though, and it hasn't stopped me.from enjoying this game either. Its worth mentioning Earthspark a bit here. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, which is a dumb mouthful of a name, felt a lot like Transformers Earthspark. And so I checked and, its…

Roblox – Sonic Speed Simulator

So, I mentioned at the end of my Aurora in Roblox post, I wanted to try some other, hopefully better maps. After skimming the list, I decided on this, Sonic the Hedgehog themed map. Also, I think they are called Obbys for some reason. Anyway, it looked better than a lot of the other options, and that is probably because its actually an official Sonic product, and not some clickbait nonsense like most of the other game modes seem to be. The stage opens with a 3D version of the classic Sonic Zone 1, Green Hill Zone. You run around…
