Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

Indies finally understanding what UGC is all about. Love this

An indie game that sits in the corner of your screen while you do other stuff. - Defend your desktop while you work - Sits in the corner of your screen - Upgrade over 1000h+ of gameplay It's called Desktop Defender. Would you play this?

- Target can't seem to take accountability. - Walmart wants to do dynamic pricing. - Doordash is slipping in extra fees. - Uber randomly hikes prices and have some drivers doing workarounds for "ghost rides". - Gas is back up to over $3.50-$6. - More people than ever work multiple jobs to cover bills & expenses. - Minimum wage hasn't budged. - False job postings are filling the market. - Currently apart of a war we didn't ask for. - Healthcare costs are unaffordable. - Mental health and wellness at an all-time crisis point. - Government funding is being cut left & right for necessary services and programs. if you feel overwhelmed as hell right now, you should.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

I enjoy learning how to use the materials on UEFN #UEFN #FNCreate #Fortnite

Btw, for those noncoders out there building Python tools, now is the time to get familiar with GitHub for making your scripts available to the public. The open source nature allows people to review the code before they download it. 😉😉😉 Keep sharing those scripts 💖💖💖

@ImmatureGamer @ImmatureGamer you should get this out into GitHub instead so people can view the source and review it for safety reasons. 💖💖💖

🚨🚨🚨: HERE IS AN UPDATED LINK FOR THE TOOL FILE: filebin.net/8m7c1jsx34l9oz… (Shouldnt expire)

🚨 THIS IS INSANE... I built a custom Material Editor inside UEFN using nothing but Python. What it does: - Live preview color and surface changes - 15 built-in presets (Chrome, Gold, Neon, Hologram...) - Save your own custom presets - Randomize colors across objects - Paint gradients across your map - Auto team color splits - Checkerboard and stripe patterns - Glow pulse preview - Color harmony generator - Full undo support

PySlop Shenanigans: Replace All Here's a simple script that replaces selected objects with a base object. Great for copying VerseTags, device settings, etc. Check it out below (for free). #UEFN

PSA to everyone in the UEFN community Here is your first reminder not to download random python scripts off the internet and run them in UEFN. There is much worse that can be done. Always read the scripts you run.

Create your own light saber in Lightsaber Template 🔥🔥 This is using Scene Graph and you can use this in your own maps just copy paste stuff from the template This is so fucking good bro 🐐 #UEFN #FortniteCreative #SceneGraph

Python Editor Scripting is now available in UEFN with 40.00 in experimental release 👀 You can enable it in Project Settings Here's more about it dev.epicgames.com/documentation/… #UEFN

🆕I'm opening my commissions again as a verse developer! 🆕 I specialize in: - Custom Weapon mechanics 🔫 - Powers ⚡ - Complex systems (like Steal A Brainrot) 🦈 - LIve Events ⌛ And pretty much anything! If you need any verse code/system done for your projects, hit me up on Discord and I will send you my portfolio! #UEFN #Fortnite #FortniteCreative #Verse

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

Catch hundreds of fish, discover rare mutations, and explore islands full of secrets in Catch It! 🎣 Built in Fortnite by Epic MegaGrant recipient @CatchItFN, this progression-driven fishing adventure features persistent inventory, gear upgrades, live events, and more. Let’s dive into how it was built 🧵:

For Fortnite/UEFN Creators who are not active on the forums

Day 28: Sensory Overload hit 50,000 wishlists. Zero streamers. Zero budget. No publisher. No media. Just a solo dev, some short-form videos, and a Steam page. Here's exactly how I did it:

Been a while since I've made something for fun, here's a replica of a reward selection menu from a roguelite Roblox game that I was playing the other day. #UEFN

Let's go!!! Hopefully some of them enjoy it and come back.

KEEP ITERATING & LISTEN TO FEEDBACK Yesterday I got a report that some players couldn’t get into Zombielike on PS4. Just one report. Instead of ignoring it, I reached out to a player I trust that has a PS4. After testing a few things, we found the issue and got it fixed. If I ignored that one message, how many players would’ve been locked out? That’s the part people forget... For every 1 person who speaks up, there are hundreds who don’t. I don’t ignore reports, even the small ones, at the minimum I try to investigate the report. Who knows, maybe fixing that is part of why we hit tabs again today, or maybe not. Either way, I’m a lot happier knowing PS4 players got the chance to play too!
