The Night the Arena Felt Like a Time Machine. AI-Generated.
I didn’t go to the library for answers. I went because it was the only place where silence wasn’t judged. It was the winter after my divorce. My apartment felt too loud with absence—echoes in the hallway, empty chairs at the table, the hum of a refrigerator that used to be background noise but now sounded like loneliness amplified. So every Tuesday at 2 p.m., I walked the three blocks to the public library, took the same seat by the window, and opened a book I never read.

The Porch Light That Stayed On

Tracking Time in Dungeons & Dragons: Why It Matters and How to Do It Like a Pro
Time is one of the most underused mechanics in Dungeons & Dragons — and that’s a shame.

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. Because Fortnite increasingly blends pop culture properties with its core battle royale and creative modes, a Ninjago-themed expansion would build on the success of Fortnite’s previous LEGO modes and partnerships, offering players fresh content that’s both familiar and exciting. 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.
