Going to start compiling the silly usernames I see in Apex Congrats Glitter Boobs, you're the first

Not even an OUNCE of remorse. @TimSweeneyEpic RESIGN.

@danidonovan Bodybag by Hit the Lights Perfect by Simple Plan Friends With Benefits by 7$Sox Psycho by SoaD Grand theft autumn by Fall Out Boy I could keep going 😅

can you remember a song you had on your MySpace profile?

thick thighs are all fun and games until you wear shorts and have to keep pulling them down cause your thighs are trying to fucking EAT THEM

@FriendKoirby Alcohol, gluten, seafood, and caffeine are non negotiable my survival and happiness as a human I can't have weed so I'm already missing that

I decided last week to take a break from drinking, the universe is truly testing my willpower on that one this week. Friday makes 2 weeks with no alcohol, which would be the first time in like... at least 6 years that I've been sober more than a few days

So tired of metal bands trying to be scary or tough. Be something different, be GAY.

No one should be laid off, period, but this much of the backbone if the game is genuinely catastrophic

I will not be respectful to the man that forced 1800+ employees now (don’t forget the 800+ in the past) to lose their job at the worse time for others to find jobs. If he was TRYING, cut off collabs and stop paying too much on those shitty a/i maps along with this metaverse bs

Outliving Tim Sweeney and seeing his inevitable fall

Look, I will say this as respectfully as possible. He did not "take one for the team". Epic Games is owned by the owner of Unreal Engine, which is used by a huge amount of games. Sweeney makes roughly 5.1-9 BILLION. With a B. Based on Net Worth, if Tim Sweeney were to use his ENTIRE estimated net worth of $5.1 billion (the lower Forbes estimate from March 2026) to pay employees an annual salary of $125,000, he could fund 40,800 employees for one year BY HIMSELF. Let's assume that the devs made 125k each (obvi variables), to keep all 1000 at that rate is $125m, leaving Sweeney, at the low estimate, an annual worth of $4.9 Billion. That's assuming his stock package doesn't pop as a result of retaining that talent, mind you. These are the folks that made him this profit. As literal as you can possibly take it. What is offered is NOT commeasurate nor is it "oh how nice", it's bare minimum for locking the talent that made you a pop culture behemoth behind restrictive NDAs and taking away their security in an economic crisis. You need to save $500 million? SELL SOME SHARES AND PROTECT YOUR STAFF. Defending this person who chuckled that they can fight Apple bc infinite money and had enough to buy hundreds of thousands of forest in NC for conservation while his dev team is left in the cold and the rest have to fear when it's their turn is insanely nasty work. You can't honestly defend that if you have empathy.

this is the fortnite equivalent of disney laying off the lady who saved the entirety of toy story 2 by having the backup at home

Looking to hire professional game animators MUST have knowledge of Unreal Engine + Blender / Maya

I lost my dream job today in these layoffs. If anyone can help with leads for QA work or even just wants to chat and catch up, please reach out. My dms are open. My whole team was impacted. Look out for them, too. What a horrible day.

dont not come here telling me that tim sweeney is ""less dangerous"" than david. he was literally using the words "free speech" to defend grok generating csem. theyre both money hungry predators that dont care about their playerbase or children for that matter either

Memory disorders are so wild cause what do you mean I can remember up to 1000 pokemon names but can't remember the names of my friends in college.

@DemShenanigans Definitely, I'll probably hop back in once I'm a little more level headed

@JustJesscaa That's true, it really is something special that was made and tbh probably now is when folks need the players the most to show it does matter

As someone who played Fortnite Save the World heavily and OG BR when it first came out up until PUBG hit Xbox this one hurts so damn much. The later Fortnite creatives have an idea, but unlikely the full depth of knowledge just how bad these layoffs are. I'm so so sorry to everyone impacted, you deserved better. Layoff Survivors: You do too. This is some of the saddest news ever.

@FriendKoirby don't give me too much credit yet, I am absolutely breaking this this weekend xD This was a short term detox

@JustJesscaa I'm proud of you Jess 💕💕

@DemShenanigans You still can <3 There's not been anything saying that STW support is being pulled after the FTP push, it's not going to be the same but the charm of the first two zones isn't going anywhere <3

@JustJesscaa Canny is what I'm thinking of actually you're right it's been a minute like ngl I'm genuinely sad bc I was so excited to have the little guy experience that mode 😞

Like, realistically, I have never had a healthy relationship with alcohol, and I KNOW that, and i have gotten a lot better about it, but I also have started having some really intense POTS flare ups after heavy drinking, and that makes it much worse

That said, Oh my GOD I want a beer x.x I realize that's like the whole problem, because I do just drink any time I'm stressed or bored or upset, and like.. I'm trying, but also farhgnfarg FUCK DUDE I need to do this for no other reason than resetting my brain, but shit
