From the poetically hype gaming world, @TheSommerset bagged that ever-coveted first Victory Royale in Fortnite. The celebratory tweet kept gaining trend, but in the comments? Oh boy, they soared in myriad directions-from genuine, heartfelt Congratulations to just random crypto shilling (because there just has to be some kind of shilling).

First, the actual achievement. A first victory in Fortnite is like one of those Dark Souls bosses who took you 50 tries to finally kill-euphoric. Immediately, the community celebrated: There was a comment by the likes of @MrLustFn, “One of the best to ever touch this game 🔥,” while @chee_mercy22 said, “Huge W for @TheSommerset!” Other vibes were wholesome, with some fans hyping her up for being “so pretty and beautiful 😍😍” (Thanks, @SpongeBobSings, very much appreciated).

But then…the crypto bros came to play. Unfailing and punctual. Half of the replies were dollar-sign GTA token talk, with “$GTA is not just another token-it’s the future of game value” and “Got that same feeling watching $GTA grow” being verbalized. Bruh. Can we just celebrate a gamer win without turning it into a blockchain ad? Apparently not.

Throw in the usual Fortnite complaints, on the other hand, like one of the players hoping for the return of East Coast servers (@ECLIPS_VC), another inquiring when Mac OS support will be fixed (@youtubeAZN), and some random dude throwing his “free codes” abruptly (@luccaa35). Classic chaotic Twitter behavior.

Now, the stinkiest of the lot: “@TheSommerset She looks like a creepy cat woman.” Uh…okay, @ifonlyiwasagirl? That was a choice.

Yet, beyond the weirdness, this is all just a reminder of why gaming Twitter can be so wild. One second you’re celebrating a Victory Royale… Next, you’re being bombarded with unsolicited pitches for crypto and some guy’s take on someone’s looks. Gotta love it.

Anyway, congrats on the dub, @TheSommerset. May many more come with way less crypto spam next time.

And for everyone else… maybe chill it with the $GTA spam? Just a thought.
