I started playing to check out Lumen in UE when they prototyped it in Fortnite and was hooked on the constant freshness.

Happened to drop exactly as Sea of Thieves was going flat / slow so my crew just switched.

The thing Fortnite does really really well is constant fresh-ness - it changes weekly, maps evolve, there just a lot of "game" in there.

I take breaks to play other things as they release but it's just such a solid backbone of a game.

Ha, hard disagree. Most straight up competent shooter on the market - it's the Unreal Tournament team after all.

(for bonus points, those are two different products with two different feature sets that access mutually exclusive sets of data - I love Copilot unironically, but how they took literally the perfect brand name for code auto complete and renamed everything to it is the most Microsoft naming ever)

Is this that thing where that's technically the Office Component Copilot ("M365 Copilot"), and not Copilot, um, Copilot.

Naming is their passion.

Still waiting for laserdisk

Better in every way

Broader, deeper, same setting. Similar tone.

Thank you so much :)

Not suggesting that they do.

Had an argument on Reddit with someone who was suggesting that maintainers changing licensing was "breaking the social contract", with people consuming the work for free.

Social contracts only work with the complicit.

Criticism that focuses on the general concept of those things will always be cheap, ineffective, and inaccurate.

Objective, not method.
