I've never bought computers for gaming purposes beyond maybe chess. So I guess I have no stake re: Fortnite specifically. But I do agree with this opinion as stated by one Ben Werdmüller:
These are our devices; we bought them. We should be able to run the software we want on them. Anything else is heavily disempowering at best, and a barrier to trade and innovation at worst. And developers like Epic are experiencing firsthand where the chips fall.

1. Got an updated edition of Final Draft. Last time I did so for that software, they were at version 8. Currently, they're on version 11.1.3. Some day, I need to get back to practicing scriptwriting. It was only my best-graded class in Animation for TV at Algonquin, after all.
2. Started fiddling with an old font design project in Typetool 3 tonight after supper. I'm never going to be in the same league as John Roshell, Richard Starkings, or Ray Larabie, but for me, it's a skill I want to get back to (re)learning.
3. Grey and wet has been the day here in Ottawa-Gatineau. I was thinking of going downtown earlier today, but the weather didn't leave me comfortable with that idea.

Ray Larabie remains on my list of preferred font designers, as you'll remember from my mentioning buying his Dealerplate family a few months back.
Anyway, Ray just made an announcement other font nerds might be interested in. As in, he just posted the news to Twitter.
