Fortnite Players Aren't Happy With New "Barely Noticeable" Witcher Cosmetics

Fortnite chapter four's first season kicked off with a trailer confirming a handful of new crossover characters for the battle royale Game's already massive roster. Doom Slayer, MrBeast, and Geralt of Rivia among them. Geralt's quests and cosmetics were saved for later in the season, and now all of them are available to unlock, players have been left disappointed by the incredibly subtle differences between the two Witcher skins.

As highlighted by GamesRadar, the first Witcher skin you're able to unlock is simply called Geralt of Rivia. Another pretty impressive effort by Epic to make a character from an entirely different style of Game fit its Fortnite aesthetic. The second page of Witcher rewards is now available to unlock, part of which is an alternate Viper School Geralt skin. However, you'll need to look very closely to notice the differences.

You can take a look at the OG Witcher skin below and then the Viper School alternate a little further on in this article. If you flick back and forth quickly and multiple times, you might notice that yes, they are different. The newer skin is a slightly different color, but as some of you have already pointed out on Reddit, even calling it a recolor is a stretch as the two are almost identical.

Others have questioned why Epic couldn't have pulled different armor from The Witcher 3 considering the various looks Geralt has in the Game. Some would have even been happy with Geralt's Netflix show armor being used as an alternate. Effectively anything The Witcher has ever worn that isn't the armor above would have been a more distinctive upgrade.

Yes, there are differences, but the point of a Fortnite skin is to show it off. Odds are someone gunning you down in the heat of a BR battle isn't going to stop and notice you're wearing the slightly different Geralt skin that requires more work to unlock. Maybe stick to the base Geralt skin or pick up the Sam Wilson Captain America one that was added as a part of Fortnite's most recent Marvel crossover earlier this month.

Kenilworth Road: Guide to Luton Town's iconic stadium

Image
Luton Town will mix it with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League next season after winning the Championship play-off final on penalties against Coventry. Neither Coventry or Luton were not expected to be in the picture for promotion from the Championship this season, but a brilliant story came to a climax when Luton - who were in League Two as recently as 2017/18 season - triumphed on spot kicks at Wembley. Their rise in stature has seen football fans take keen notice of their unique home ground; Kenilworth Road. On aesthetic alone, it isn't exactly the sort of stadium associated with the best players in the world, but will undoubtedly provide one of the best atmospheres in 2023/24. Here is everything you need to know about Kenilworth Road, the home of Luton Town who will play in the Premier League next season.

Twitch To Add Warnings Before Ads And New Snooze Option

Twitch ads are a necessary but annoying thing. In theory, they help keep subscription prices down as they allow for streams to be monetised by large companies. In reality, they always seem to pop up just as the person you're watching is about to get a world record or clutch win. That may be a thing of the past as Twitch plans to introduce a feature that will warn you when ads are about to play and allow you to snooze them. As reported by Dexerto, an update on Twitch's blog details the upcoming ad changes planned for 2023. One big change is coming to how streamers disable pre-roll ads. These normally appear before a stream, meaning you have to wait a while to get stuck in. A previous change meant they could be disabled if 90 seconds of ads were run every 30 minutes, but now as long as three minutes are run per hour, it's up to the streamer when they run.

The Red Bull junior thwarting Ricciardo's F1 comeback

Image
Daniel Ricciardo's hopes of rejoining the Formula 1 grid may have been slim regardless of other drivers' performances but fans of the Australian would have looked at Nyck de Vries' situation at AlphaTauri as a potential way back. Dutchman de Vries has struggled to assert himself alongside Yuki Tsunoda with a number of incidents plaguing the opening five races of his rookie campaign. Red Bull Motorsport Advisor Helmut Marko has already cooled suggestions Ricciardo would return for AlphaTauri in place of de Vries should the 2020/21 Formula E champion fail to improve, instead pointing to junior s Liam Lawson and Ayumu Iwasa. But with F1 being so lucrative, neither would be thrown into the deep end without good reason leaving Ricciardo as an option. Lawson, in particular, is proving a barrier in the eight-time Grand Prix winner's path back to the sport. Viewed by others: ...
