The Porch Light That Stayed On

Is PlayStation 5 Sony’s Worst Console to Date?
What gaming system should I get? That is the question every serious gamer has to ask themselves at one point or another.

At least, those are the options unless you want to go with a gaming PC. I have only very recently stumbled across a revelation. It has only now dawned on me that there is another question that everyone who prides themselves as a gamer should be asking themselves. When did the quality of gaming systems begin to decline?

LEGO Ninjago Arrives in Fortnite....
Fortnite’s universe keeps expanding, and one of the most exciting crossover ideas gaining traction in the community is LEGO Ninjago arriving in Fortnite. While Epic Games hasn’t confirmed an official Ninjago crossover yet, there’s strong fan interest supported by Fortnite’s existing LEGO integration. This article explores how a LEGO Ninjago update could influence gameplay, introduce new quests, and add themed map changes — all while staying grounded in what could realistically happen based on Fortnite’s past collaborations and design patterns.

The core appeal of Ninjago — elemental ninja powers, mystic weapons, and martial arts flair — aligns well with Fortnite’s action gameplay, and LEGO’s block-based aesthetic has already been featured in Fortnite’s LEGO-inspired modes, demonstrating technical compatibility between the two brands.
