The guy I fought with in a game is my neighbor - Chapter 1

“Are you stupid?” 

Geto heard through his headphones. This random and annoying asshole had just insulted him for dying while playing squad. He made a mistake, but was it reason enough to be aggressive?

“It was a mistake, I'm sorry…asshole.”

“Asshole?” 

Geto thought his microphone was off. But the person on the other side had heard him. He never cursed or insulted anyone over a game. And now, for the first time, the other person had heard him.

“You wanna fight, huh? Go to PvP right now. I'm going to end you.”

Geto didn't like conflicts, what on earth had he gotten himself into? 

The other person wanted to compete against someone who was probably older than him, he was just an angry teenage boy, Geto thought. 

32 Kills Vs. 1 Kill

HA… YOU ARE SO BAD AT THIS!

YOU SHOULD JUST QUIT!

WHY DO YOU EVEN PLAY?!

I'M SURE YOU ARE JUST THIS WORTHLESS IN REAL LIFE!

The annoying person went on and on. Geto was starting to get flustered. He knew he was bad, he just played because he thought that the game was fun, besides he liked the skins. And that person just happened to be using his favorite (and the one he couldn't buy.) Why did a person like him have what he wanted the most? Life is unfair…

“I can't be playing with you any longer. You are just annoying and an embarrassment for the people who play this. What are you? 10 years old? Why do you keep picking on someone older? Do you have no respect for your life and the people outside? Do you ever touch grass? Huh…I'm going to go. Bye.” 

GojoSweetCupcake was silent. 

SShadowMaster123 left the voice chat. 

Geto felt an instant regret. Wasn't he an adult? He should be responsible and avoid fights with children. He promised to himself that he would never play this game again.

GojoSweetCupcake has sent you a friend request.

Geto immediately closed the window. 

“Friend request, huh? I'M NEVER PLAYING AGAIN!”

Client Services Department  

Manager: Geto Suguru

More and more paperwork for Geto arrived. He would have to work overtime and without pay. All because he couldn't focus for what happened days ago. He had never disrespected someone like that before, he was the customer service manager for god's sake. A few insults were nothing to him.

More than that, he insulted a kid. How was he supposed to be an appropriate example to his subordinates? 

“Manager Geto. Where have you been these days? You haven't even logged in? Even our team member Nanami is worried!”

“Haibara…I told you to stop calling me that. We are colleagues, and I've known you for years. I don't remember how long I have known you.”

“Yup. Yup. Yup. So why haven't you played?”

“Eh… What is it with the game? Is not like we played a lot together. Even Nanami only joined us once.”

“So why…?”

“I fought.”

“...”

“With a kid.”

“...”

“I scolded him.”

“But why?”

“He was rude to me.”

“Only that? You scolded a kid because of that?”

“...He had a Midas skin.”

After a long silence, Haibara replied, “I see.”

This made sense to him, after all, Midas was Geto’s favorite character. Being teased by someone using your favorite character must not be nice at all.

“Then…Manager Geto, is this you?”

Haibara slowly took out his cell phone and opened YouTube. Just to show Geto a video he found yesterday.

I humiliated a dumb noob in Fortnite who thought he could beat me in PvP.

Geto silently watched the video. The username “SShadowMaster123” showed up. It was definitely him. And this was the kid he fought with. He didn't even show his face, but the video still had more than 100,000 views. And everything had been edited to make him look like a lousy player, even cutting off his last burst of anger. 

NobaSlayer7: This guy is such a coward!

Megumise1: Just quit the game already…

RikaAndYuuta44: HAHAH just like that Gojo! You are the GOAT!

EpicGamerYuuji: Why would you accept a PvP if you don't even know how to play…That stream was fun 😂

A lot of comments were saying the same thing. Picking a side with this Gojo guy, when he was the one who started to fight with someone who didn't even care about him. He was the one picking on older people. I should be respected, Geto thought. 

Geto thanked Haibara for showing him the video. Then he opened the app on his phone and left a comment. 

SShadowMaster123: Huh? Why did you cut the part where I said you were an embarrassment for messing with someone older than you? It seems you still don't respect your elders. Being good at a game does not make you a good person. Pathetic.

PandaNim: Guys! He replied!

NobaSlayer7: He's right. This loser Gojo cut the part of the stream when he went completely silent because ShadowMaster humiliated him!

MakisHere: I think Gojo is afraid of being humiliated again by this grandpa. 

NobaSlayer7: Haha, you are right! He talks like a grandpa. Can I get your number?

????????

Were they on his side or just making fun of him?

Anyway, Geto was angry. He would make this guy pay. But first, he would report the video and his YouTube channel. Then he would send the proof of harassment to EpicGames and have the account GojoSweetCupcake shut down.

 Yes, this is a perfect plan, Geto thought.

FORTNITE DR

BASICS

name; Hope

age; 18

gender; female she/her

i am NOT dating jonesy in this

The basic premise of my fortnite dr is that it’s just like fortnite, but we don’t actually die or anything like that. We respawn, but as spectators. And nobody is actually hurt. We have a health bar. Considering there is about 1,788 skins, there will be about 170 games at one time.

MY TEAMMATES

Meowscles, Midas & Cozy Chomps are my usual teammates. It gets mixed up sometimes if one of them doesn’t want to participate, but these are my main teammates. Also, sometimes they won’t be able to participate because they might be in the 88 that can’t.

We participate in one game every day if we are selected. If we are not, most of us just hang out and chill together on the starting island. (chapter 5 season 1 map is my starting island, it changes every chapter)

We all have houses and live together on the starting island.

I live with Jonesy (but again we’re not together)

So about Solid Snake being in Fortnite...

by Faint_Kitten

I got into Fortnite in December 2023 for the first time. I just unlocked Snake and I have so many thoughts on it I can't completely break them all down. But I think I've done my best.

But the #1 thing I think I want everyone to know is: Despite shaving off his ass. Despite being artistically bankrupt and pushed out by Konami and Epic as a means to make money and promote the MGS Vol 2 collection.

Despite artistically, and Narratively being antithetical to Metal Gear Solid…

Snake being in Fortnite feels mechanically and tonally consistent with his legacy.

There is so much inherent "Kojima" in Metal Gear Solid. This weird blend of hyper realism, mixed with anime siliness, mixed with philosophy mixed with trying way too hard to be sombre while also mechanically being silly and then you spin around three times to puke, or Johnny does a big poop fart and all of it adds to the weird just Kojima-esque nature of the series. It extends to the love, the fandom and the humor around Metal Gear Solid. So many memes around Snake, between fan art, in jokes, and original Animations and gifs that it doesn't feel THAT weird to see him do like a...Naruto Run emote. So much of Metal Gear Solid* was a very serious drama taking place in a game that mechanically is silly and lets you do goofy shit and has elaborate bro fist handshakes played deadly serious. And Fortnite is a game where you have these characters doing goofy shit that doesn't mesh with who they are or the universe they came from all the fucking time.

You also have to realize the Battle Royale mode has big locations full of NPC's and Bosses you can kill for loot.

The "narrative" as it is of Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 1 is (near as I can tell) that Peely the Banana has been kidnapped by the Society (who serve as the current skins for this season and AI controlled bosses and NPC's on locations of the map.) And the map is littered with their fortresses with Jonesy (I guess the main character?) Going up against them to get his friend back. Which means there are a handful of locations in the current Fortnite Map that are just Boss bases. These are bunkers, and huge mansions and little outposts that you have to be careful around because once they know you're there they will just start spawning endless enemies to try and kill you, and the attention WILL draw enemy players. So you're shooting out cameras for XP and to keep them from beeping, avoiding turrets to keep from alerting guards and keep them from chewing up your health.

Guards already had the "?" and "!" system for showing if they detected you, despite having no inherent stealth mechanics in the game or any intention of introducing MGS. They didn't do this FOR an MGS tie in. There are recruitable companions and they can't speak so a way for players and enemies to detect if their companion "senses" an enemy player is to use the "?" and "!" system. While it doesn't mean that much without him. This is very clearly taken from Metal Gear, and as a result the alert system feels very natural around Snake.

In game modes where you have teams of two three or Four players, you get downed like Gears of War or Apex, and have to be revived. You can crawl and move. But players who are on their feet can pick you up and sling you over their back, or even yeet you to safety.

Enemy Players can do this too.

When I play Team modes by myself (I am alone, everyone else is in a team) I frequently pick enemies who wandered off of their pack and pick them off, tossing them somewhere their team mates can't get to or won't find them specifically to draw them in to their rescue.

Additionally there IS wildlife to hunt: Chickens, Frogs and Fish which give you medium effect healing items.

The game has items you can put on to "disguise yourself" like bushes, or snowmen during christmas that work EXACTLY like the card board boxes in MGS (though it's debatable if players are convinced by anything but the bush)

All of this was going on BEFORE Snake was unlockable. (I don't know if the camera's and bosses stuff existed before this season)

Which means that MECHANICALLY. Snake doesn't feel out of place at all in Fortnite.

It's super weird when a Xenomorph, or Spiderman, or a Ninja Turtle, or Goku, or a teen from My hero Academia, or Eleven from stranger things comes in and starts mowing people down with an assault rifle. The disconnect is part of the charm for better or worse, and it's both amusing and horrifyingly upsetting when you think about these characters sold as nothing but IP to get rich off of being so taken out of context from their character's intended art, themes and meaning.

It's just weird to see bright bubbly Mina from My Hero shooting people dead. Spiderman doesn't kill people, that's the Punisher, it's fucking weird to have Spiderman just gunning people down, if you get my gist.

It's super fucking weird to see these characters handle a fire arm and move around in a shooter. They feel less like themselves and more like what they are: A skin of a popular thing, plugged into a world to please fans and rake in money. It's fucking weird to see Spider-man holding a firearm.

It is NOT weird to watch Solid Snake do it. As a result of this, Snake kind of slips into the absurd world of Fortnite rather well.

It feels kind of cool strip snake of all like falling trail effects and just watch him super-hero sky dive toward a giant compound full of NPC's and land on the roof (It looks cooler in the dead of night but I didn't get a screenshot of it)

It's not weird to experience Snake in Fortnite's world handling Fortnite's mechanics. Because so many of the mechanics and the tone feels distinctly normal for Metal Gear Solid. This is not the first time Snake has been pawned out as a mascott to other properties.

It's weird as hell to watch Kratos blow a car up with a rocket launcher. That is not a part of his world, you see. It's NOT weird to watch Snake fire an RPG at anything. It's not weird to watch Snake do a bulk of the things he can do in Fortnite.

It's not weird to watch Snake run around a forest and shoot a frog or hunt a chicken for it's meat because we've played Snake Eater

It's not weird to hide in a bush as Snake:

It's not weird to watch snake shoot someone or Reload a fire-arm. The Snowy Mountains bases, the outposts, the big mansions and small cities the open world all feel like places Snake has been at home in, from Shadow Moses, to the Middle East, it's not unusual to see Snake* surrounded by girders and steps and concrete and cabins and tents and forrests etc. It's not weird to watch Snake pick someone up who's downed and carry them over his shoulder, or chuck them into a closet: We've seen this in MGS V: The Phantom Pain. Metal Gear Solid kind of invented a lot of these mechanics.

There isn't that much about Snake in the following footage seems out of place for Metal Gear Solid:

Snake doesn't feel out of place in fortnite. It might feel sacriligious for the biggest thing in gaming adding snake (with no cheeks I might add) to it's roster to be eyerolling or cringe. But Snake doesn't feel "too good" for fortnite. But he also doesn't feel like a total shill in fortnite either. A lot of the gear and missions and challengees to unlock him felt like a someone was asked to put together activities at a Metal Gear Solid themed birthday party (Use hiding spots. Shoot out 2 cameras. Fire an RPG, shoot silenced weapons, uses the disguise mechanics, travel in the disguise items. hack Trains or Vaults) the Emote could have easily been just the alert noise over Snake's head, but they put it on a freaking stick, Wile E Coyote style.

There's a weird Fortnite blend of "Lets make something as cheaply as possible in some places and yet give some things the love and attention that comes from making 5billion in revenue a year affords you." that shows up in everything they do. And they clearly put a lot more effort into this promotion than they did the Family guy stuff (not that I care one way or the other about Family guy I'm just calling it like I see it.) To be honest Snake has been shilled out to so many other games for cross promotion over the years this is hardly his first.

Snake has been blended with many things like Ape Escape, Smash Bros, and Monster Hunter. Seeing him along other games and even other characteres not of MGS's worldbuilding doesn't feel that odd. Snake has kind of left his "world" behind many times. Which is...kind of in keeping with Snake being this cipher? This character the player slips on. Snake is a character an icon but he's also this THING puppeted by us. A lot of games work to break this illusion to make us forget we're not Kratos, or We're not Nathan Drake but ever since Metal Gear Solid 1 Kojima's writing has been pretty clear there's "something" that drives snake. Not motivationally, but literally piloting him giving him what he needed to succeed (us). To put it simply. Snake has always been a bit Meta as a character. And it's hard to see liscenced characters (sold for up to 15 dollars a pop) as themselves when we're piloting them telling them to drink slurp juice out of jars, or swing a pickaxe or or sing "The Real Slim Shady" or do cutesy Jpop dances. All of this is to say, having played MGS 1 through TPP: nothing about this gameplay feels that out of character for Metal Gear aside from the cartoony art style. The look and feel of Fortnite naturally lends itself to having Snake as a Playable character in it. Narratively, Thematically, Fortnite is almost antithetical to Metal Gear Solid. But tonally, and mechanically, it feels in keeping with the series.

Part of this is just the fact that Kojima's games have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to what you can do in gameplay and so many of these things were adopted by gaming later that slotting Snake back into mechanics his games inspired just doesn't feel disjointed. So many games have copied Metal Gear Solid over the years and became main stream. MGS has also had it's own unique air owing to both Kojima's own unique style and the weirdness/humor brought about as the game tries very seriously to balance it's story and themes against poop jokes, and mechanics that are often very silly but very fun and a total detachment from the poe faced somberness snake goes for or is possibly trying to mock. This, overall is a chunk of what makes metal gear feel like metal gear. The mechanics of Fortnite feel eerily comparable to the mechanics of later Metal Gear games (especially MGS V) .

And the tonal disconnect between what Metal Gear games are doing as a plot, and the inherent nonsense the mechanics provide contrasting it, have always been a part of MGS and it's charm, and that's kind of what makes Fortnite the thing it is today? You have a very serious plot about war and the military and a gravely voiced man and then in the corner a Vampire man does a big dance, and large bi-pedal mechs moo like cows. It's why any time any popular thing is announced in fortnite it kind of becomes a joke. Very serious Rapper Eminem is in Fortnite, and has his personal OC Slim Shady as a playable skin, and he's shoving his hand in Pinata's and chugging slurp juice, it's kind of weird to see someone who takes themself so seriously dancing at the whims of whoever controls him. But that's been a core part of Metal Gear and the Metal Gear Solid Franchise, and the fandom forever. I dunno. I'm not trying to defend the fact that Fortnite is a center for companies to strip their IP of all love and meaning and sell it to us as pure nostalgia and profit. I'm just trying to say I was surprised by how weirdly normal (and to be honest kind fun) it felt to run around RPing Solid Snake in fortnite and I've been at it all day. As someone who originally didn't care one way or the other, and felt kind of cynical about such a beloved character being absorbed into this mess: I'm kinda glad he's here now.

*I know Snake and Big Boss (and by extension Venom/Punished Snake/Boss) are all different characters. But for the sake of this discussion I dipped in and out of talking about Solid Snake and "Snake" (any) as a whole in Metal Gear as a whole

Soo. It's been a while. Figured hey, I haven't done too much art recently— so why not a new combo post for funsies lol.

⌛"I know it's a lot to ask...⏳

Cosmetics used:

🏃‍♂️ Endless Ned (STW Starter Pack #13— Ned the Eternal)

🎒 Antidote (Chapter 2; Season 1 Battle Pass)

⛏️ Steve's Bat (800 V-Bucks)

🪂 Time Brella (Fortnite OG/Chapter 4; Season 5 Victory Umbrella)

I'm genuinely proud of how this one came out since I've had the preset for ages but it never worked out that well until now. I'm still shocked he not only got a skin, but a full on remix that looks great. Still, fuck this guy and his medkits. Time holes be damned.

A bit late posting this, but here's the monthly post for January!

Let's talk about some projects i've worked within the month. I've continued working on the Minecraft Super Mario Skin Pack, All Skins are almost done and just needed some refining, there are currently 10 Custom Skins in it.

In the other end, i'm also working on a MOTHER 1+2 Minecraft Custom PM Skin Pack, which currently has all of the main party members, the skin pack will debut in the 2024 MOTHER Direct, so keep an eye on that!

I'm planning to release the Super Mario Skin Pack somewhere in early 2024 and then the MOTHER 1+2 Skin Pack afterwards.

Completely unrelated, i started watching My Hero Academia and despite what people say, this series has been absolute GAS, i haven't felt so much excitement since Fortnite Chapter 4 dropped, currently on Seson 5 Episode 4, but so far everything has been 9/10 for me.

Back to some actually notable stuff i've been getting alot more Ko-Fi supports in January, just wanna say i REALLY appreciate everyone alot for supporting me, and also thanks to everyone that has commissioned me <3.

Hope you guys do well in February!

Salutations, How did you fell in love with fortnite( esp. the nutcracker) ?

Have a joyous day 🌟

I played fortnite chapter 1 season 3 to the very start of chapter 1 season 7... the gameplay was really fun but I didn't have anyone to play with really so I ended up falling out of playing it for a year

then I saw that there was a new chapter and was like. fuck it. why not. and redownloaded the game

yeah I haven't dropped it in like 4 years (that's weird to say. how the fuck has it been that long)

and I made new friends when I got back into it and I have ppl to play with now :3

anyways as for the nutcracker I cant exactly remember... iirc it was hearing his character in save the world and I was hooked. love me some silly freak insane guys. fuck yes.

my dad actually gifted me crackshot cause I wasn't abt to spend all my vbucks on one skin and I just wanted the crackdown emote really

so after that I used him a lot and eventually just got very mentally ill over stupid fucking fortnite nutcracker bc I adore his character a lot

I've never been this like. hooked on a character before. so hooked that i get quite horribly joyous over seeing any content abt him whatsoever and will get very giggly about it

it's gotten to the point where I've started to actually collect nutcrackers for my room. and if any nutcracker cosmetic exists in a game you bet your ass im getting it
