Windows on Arm is finally getting ready for gaming! Fortnite now runs on Snapdragon-powered Windows PCs. It's one of the major changes being rolled out to Windows on Arm PCs. Recently, Microsoft also enabled new CPU features for Windows on Arm emulation tech called 'Prism.' It now exposes AVX/AVX2, which allows high-performance computing. This enables support for game engines and resource-intensive apps that expect AVX and won’t start without it. You’ll see big gains in compatibility and mixed results in speed. Unlike traditional PCs, Snapdragon PCs offer up to 22 hours of battery life with no drop in performance when unplugged.

Item Shop Prop Hunt now has a Sidekick Detection system! Hunters will now receive alerts from their SIDEKICKS when Props are nearby! Extremely excited that something like this is now possible, this is going to make the immersion and experience so much more enjoyable! @FNCreate @TimSweeneyEpic

There's a world of opportunity ahead for digital stores that look to the future and to new areas of growth. New product categories, new markets, new platforms, new interconnectivity.

We haven't confirmed this, and haven't taken any steps related to it on our end, but: The tweet below suggests iOS 26.2 Beta 1 allows installation of AltStore PAL and Epic Games Store in Japan.

This could be the most important development for the smartphone business in the Android-iPhone era since the launch of the Apple and Google app stores. If this goes through and developers and consumers value the benefits, it will put enormous pressure on Apple to open up.

Google has made an awesome proposal, subject to court approval, to open up Android in the US Epic v Google case and settle our disputes. It genuinely doubles down on Android's original vision as an open platform to streamline competing store installs globally, reduce service fees for developers on Google Play, and enable third-party in-app and web payments. This is a comprehensive solution, which stands in contrast to Apple’s model of blocking all competing stores and leaving payments as the only vector for competition. The public filings are live.

This is gaming in 2025.

So, dead game? Just checking. 😂

Fortnite x The Simpsons Couch Gag! Season 37 Episode 5 - Bad Boys... For Life?

Can you believe it? You can get the Kang and Kodos Glider by linking your MyDisney and Epic accounts until February 28, 2026

MY HONEST THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SIMPSONS SEASON ‼️🍩 It's the most unique season they have ever dropped. It's really fun to play, although it's pretty sweaty right now. I'll probably wait a few days until it settles down. I love how smooth the game feels thanks to the cartoony map, and the gunplay is amazing. The Simpsons weapons and items are super fun, and it's packed with the story too. I'm really excited to see where it leads! #Fortnite #FortniteNews

Epic working on Fortnite servers right now:

Carolina Hill forest restoration project, Chatham County, North Carolina. Following 160 years as a farm and then chemically managed pine plantation, restoration to natural Oak, Shortleaf Pine and Longleaf Pine began. It was a mess for 10 years, but has turned the corner.

Ore Hill, Mount Vernon Springs, North Carolina. This was the biggest iron mine in the south during the American Revolution and Civil War, but it’s fairly small. The bedrock is Pyrophyllite, leading to dry soils supporting an unusual Piedmont population of Chestnut Oak trees.

Woah, Fortnite has landed in Springfield! It’s a shameless corporate mashup you won’t want to miss. Jump in later today! Until then check out our trailer. Stream new shorts weekly on @DisneyPlus

Jump in for the mini-event tomorrow (Nov 1) @ 11AM ET to watch Fortnite crash into Springfield! It’s a shameless corporate mashup you won’t want to miss...get hyped with this sneak peek of what's dropping: piped.video/shorts/grS4IHm5X…

Happy Halloween Fortnite! 🎃#FortniteArt

When I started working in python, I got lazy with “single assignment”, and I need to nudge myself about it. You should strive to never reassign or update a variable outside of true iterative calculations in loops. Having all the intermediate calculations still available is helpful in the debugger, and it avoids problems where you move a block of code and it silently uses a version of the variable that wasn’t what it originally had. In C/C++, making almost every variable const at initialization is good practice. I wish it was the default, and mutable was a keyword.
