Epic Games has confirmed that The Simpsons will be returning to Fortnite this summer after a celebrated 2025 crossover.

Taking to social media last night, the official Fortnite X account shared an image of a portal leading to The Simpsons’ hometown alongside the caption “Springfield Reloaded. Summer ‘26. Yeah, we’re thinking we’re back.”
Fortnite Reload is a “fast-paced” version of the hit battle royale game that sees 40 players compete in squads. “It’s all about carrying the squad to victory,” explains a description of the game mode. “Reboot as long as one teammate is still in the action! Loot up after rebooting to get back into fighting shape! Eliminate opponents to reboot teammates faster! Near the end of the match, reboots will stop. Lock in with your squad to secure the [win].”
Epic Games hasn’t confirmed when Springfield Reloaded will go live, or what this crossover will involve but fans are already stoked.
“Holy cow if that’s true, I’m gonna play a lot of Reload,” wrote one Reddit user. “That’s awesome. It’s one of my all time favorite maps,” added another. ”Hopefully this means another wave of Simpsons skins,” said a third.
Last year, Fortnite hosted a huge The Simpsons crossover that featured a dedicated Springfield map, Homer, Marge, Flanders, Blinky Fishstick, and Springfielder Peely skins as well as special The Simpsons shorts that included a brutal Fortnite-inspired couch gag. During the event, The Simpsons legend Hank Azari (who voices Chief Wiggum, Lenny Leonard and Comic Book Guy) went viral after sharing a video of him “reacting” to Moe The Bartender’s inclusion in the hit game.
The Simpsons x Fortnite crossover was a huge success with more than 2.7million users playing concurrently at the peak of the event.
“Over the course of four weeks, chaos builds, and Springfield becomes more and more corrupted by Homer’s careless use of the Zero Point shard. Players scoured the island to find Homer, Marge, Bart, and Flanders; fought Evil Homer, Witch Marge, and Krusty to pick up loot; and completed The Simpsons Quests to level up in the Springfield Battle Pass,” Disney wrote in a dedicated blog after the event ended. “This season is now over, but keep an eye out for more collaborations in the future.”
In other news, a remake of the beloved Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag is set to launch next month, and it’ll feature a brand new take on hit sea shanty ‘Leave Her Johnny’ from musician Woodkid – check it out here.

Re-watching movies isn't my thing but I can make an exception if the movie is very good. The only movie I've rewatched recently is Avengers : Infinity Wars. It's the best Marvels movies.

so i was thinking about how people get super intense about their keyboard setups. like yeah i get it, its your main tool if you type a lot but some of this stuff is wild. custom keycaps, lubing switches, artisan stuff that costs more than the keyboard itself its a whole scene. i used to think it was overkill but then i tried a few mods and now im kinda hooked. not on the expensive stuff but like, small tweaks that actually feel better. anyone else dabble in this? i found [this guide](https://examplelink.com/keyboardmods) super helpful for starters if youre curious also why is it so hard to explain to non-keyboard people why this matters? they just look at you weird.

every writeup or post about a set lately is like 'the dj took us on a journey through sound' and idk man it just feels overused. cant it just be a good set. like yeah some sets build and shift moods but do we need the 'journey' label every time. seems like people are trying too hard to make it sound deep when its just music. also if every set is a 'journey' then none of them are. also while im here — has anyone checked out those new 60g tactile switches. way too heavy for me but curious if anyone likes em.

okay so i swapped out my spacebar switch the other day bc it was feeling mushy and now the new one is TOO clicky??? like it kinda throws off the whole vibe of my board... lowkey is it just me or has the quality of these things gone downhill?? also does anyone know if its worth lubing just the spacebar switch or will that make it even weirder... actually scratch that maybe its my stabs lol theyre screwed in too tight again arent they ugh im the worst at this stuff also idk if its relevant but ive been listening to a ton of pinback lately and their song 'good to sea' feels like it was made for people typing really fast on mechanical keyboards... maybe its the rhythm idk but its stuck in my head now... lowkey anyway if youve got spacebar switch recs or just wanna rant about keyboards lemme know!!

like i get it, the desert is vast and empty and probably makes people feel small or whatever, but every time i hear one of those tracks it's all 'oooh the sands of time' and 'the endless horizon whispers secrets' and i just wanna yell 'it’s a pile of dirt and rocks, calm down.' dont get me wrong, i like a good atmospheric tune now and then but it’s like they’re contractually obligated to be deep. cant we just have a song about, idk, tripping over a cactus or something? not everything has to be a metaphor for finding yourself. sometimes the desert is just hot and annoying and full of bugs. anyway if youve got recs for desert songs that *dont* go full enlightenment mode, im all ears.

ok so i know there are a TON of songs about the ocean and summer and sunset drives but what about **stargazing**?? like actual songs where its just about sitting outside late at night and watching the sky?? i feel like theres this whole mood that gets overlooked. weve got 'starry starry night' but thats more about van gogh than the actual stars. idk man i want some tunes for when youre out in the middle of nowhere and its just YOU and the universe. feel free to drop recs if youve got em also not tryna be cheesy here but if youve ever seen the milky way for real with no light pollution lemme know where bc ive only seen it once and it was WILD. anyway yeah songs about stars. go.

like, i was blasting this one track earlier today on my way to grab groceries (yeah, riveting life i lead) and it hit *so* differently compared to when i played it at home. honestly something about the rhythm lining up with the road noise and the scenery whizzing by just makes it feel like the song was made for that exact moment and its not even a road trip song or anything, just a random indie track with some guitar and synths idk if its the bass vibrating through the car or the fact that youre kind of in this weird headspace when youre driving — half autopilot, half zoning out — but it always feels more cinematic even songs i dont normally care about suddenly feel epic when im doing 60 on the highway. anyone else get this or am i just weird for thinking my car is a better sound system than my actual speakers?

Everyone talks about Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, and Dimebag Darrell.
Who's a guitarist that deserves way more recognition than they get?
Bonus points if you drop a song recommendation.
