    Sure, maybe with a console or a cloud stream or something, but if Fortnite is your forever game, having on as many pieces of hardware as possible is ideal, let alone the one that you have on you...

    There is the question why Samsung is being singled out here since every OEM disables sideloading by default, but Samsung is the only manufacturer store that Epic is available in on mobile, so maybe the money isn't right and Epic thinks that they can get ahead committing entirely to 3rd party sideload.

    They're probably setting one up, but this is more faster and good for branding.

    Dedicated players can still sideload, possibly using Altstore worldwide with the PC workaround.

    Doubt that the IOC would want to license with the Tetris company due to money or ownership concerns. "Olympic Tetromino Sport" maybe?

    Well this is going to get very interesting, very fast. First impression is that the Pelosi wing still wears the pants in the party, despite any gesture of stepping down or passing the torch to the next generation. Second is that if Harris isn't named as the true successor, that means it's going to the convention.

    Pants on Head Wild Prediction

    Do you know who's on a first name basis with most of the delegates who would be deciding such a convention, run a presidential campaign all the way to the general before, and has a score to settle with Donald Trump? Her time has come again.

    Edit: Biden endorses Harris per tweet. https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1815087772216303933

    Yeah, Democrats need to restructure and respond to this realignment towards populism that the Republicans were forced into. It's a damn shame that each and every election is an extensional threat, so them having a learning experience means that the Republicans can go full throttle on remaking the government to their own ends.

    Said this in the weekly thread already, but the Dems are out of good decisions to make at this point.

    • An open convention with no heir apparent would be a chaotic mess that would completely chuck the Democratic primary out the window, would not spare any candidate a thrashing, and the only price would be straight into battle with the beloved of his party and his base, Donald Trump.

    • Biden staying in is a triple dog dare to the base not to stay home and may play better with swing voters who think that swapping out the sitting president for someone they never voted for but has a D next to their name is suspect, but then the party has to stand by putting their hand on the scale and kneecapping their bench because the adult is in the room and it's still their turn.

    There is a lot of coulda woulda shoulda at this point, but I don't envy any decision makers that have to figure this one out.

    <Insert your favorite "I picked a bad week" quote from Airplane here.>

    Assuming all this is true, an open convention with no heir apparent, this close to the general, with the Dems back bench either knees deep in the previous administration or excommunicated, this is going to be a poop show. I have my own opinions and Monday Morning Quarterbacking that I still have to sort out, but I do not envy anyone put into a decision making position on this one.

    Just talks for now, but the powers that be must be getting real antsy about the MCU's future if they're bringing back the Russo's.
