“I miss you so much while your at school.” “I can’t wait till you get out of work to spend time with you!” Ever heard these lines from your significant other? I have, and although they may be indeed true, I have recently noticed strange but familiar side effects of what some may know as Fortnite. Yes, Fortnite. The overly addictive game that has been stealing men and significant others away from their other half one player at a time. One of the many side effects of your partner contracting this disease is the fact that they often lose track of time. “Babe I’ll literally be done after one match, max twenty minutes”, quickly turns into three hours of shooting at walls and wandering colorful fields. Too bad the build tab doesn’t include a manual on how to keep your girlfriend happy and from falling asleep. I don’t know about you, but watching someone play Fortnite for two hours isn’t my idea of spending time with my boyfriend after being in class or at work all day.
The only “Number One Victory Royale” in my eyes are those whose eyes are closed, daydreaming of simpler times before the Fortnite epidemic took over relationships worldwide.
