I know staying up past bedtime is illegal but I did it once to check and fortnite was in fact off 😔
Truly terrible news
I love that part of the internet.
Kinda like “guy code”
“Was said he was with you last night”
"Yep, all night. Cleaned the spark plugs in my car and drained the blinker fluid. Couldn’t have done it without him "
But instead it’s “parent code”
“Yeah fortnight is closed. They close it so everyone can get a good night’s sleep and be ready for the morning!”
I was going to tell a personal story about telling my son McDonald’s was closed when I was broke or in a hurry but it reminded me of another cute store.
My son broke his arm in a McDonald’s once. Hyper extended his elbow. Got a couple pins.
Anyway a year or so later they completely remodeled that McDonald’s.
We drove by the demolished building during the remodel and my son shouted “that’s what you get for breaking my arm! Who’s broken now!”
Adorable vengeance served adorably cold.
Your son has ice in his veins. I’m very impressed.
One day he will rule, I hope he lets us live.
Just FYI that cleaning spark plugs is actually a thing. Not common but sometimes they can get ‘fouled’ from things like oil or incorrect air/fuel mixtures.
Sure wink and oddly enough spark plug cleaner smells a lot like perfume wink
I got you bro.
Presumably they shut if off for 14 days, hence the name.
Thats gotta be it
Easiest way to do this: Turn the modem off after bed time (you will also lose internet)
Most expensive but still easy way to do this: Buy a “smart router” with time-based parental controls (lets you use the internet at night).
Nerd way to do this: Pihole with a script that enables and disables certain blocklists at certain times (free and open source, because fuck “smart” products)
Problem is that it’s regional. So even of you watch a big streamer, they are before 9pm so the game still works.
All big streamers are time travelers. They stream from the times when the game works so that people who were too late to play can still watch
they login through 7 proxies to be time lords. hence origin of time cube you can’t deny the logic.
actually if a streamer is every streaming fortnite past 9pm, they’ve secretly prerecorded the stream as an alibi
This is why we trust but verify. Thanks mom for teaching me that cruel lesson of unplugging the phone cord to get me to bed (dial up days). It lasted about a week before I caught on you always came up from the basement before bed.
I’m so glad you never noticed I swapped my line with the guest bedroom. Also glad that ancient block in the basement could be hand wired.
You need enough sleep.
Part of being an adult is never getting enough sleep and almost always being tired.
Sure, but I’m assuming the “mom” in OP’s story was just trying to help their child get enough sleep.
Ah the eternal arms race between parents and children. For me it was lights out so I couldn’t read, circumvented with a flashlight under the blanket.
for me it was logging into the router webpage, getting my parents mac and ip addresses, and cloning them after they turned off their devices and my Internet for the night lol
Yep, that’s what I heard. They also do overnight backups so it needs downtime, kind of like people.
I mean, mom could be right. Maybe there’s a rule on router to block Fortnite servers after 21:00. She just doesn’t tell that she the one turning it off
It’s right there in the name, it shuts off for the night.
you know what else you could know?
