In LEGO Lord of the Rings on PS3, the hobbits shrink. Very, very, very slowly.

If you adjust your power settings and leave the game running overnight, they'll only come up to Gandalf's shins.

Dear @elonmusk

I would like to report @Telsa for this clear violation of Twitter rules.

These rules are very important and made by you, our benevolent leader.

I trust you will be suspending this account shortly.

All the best.

Today Lumen Global Illumination and Reflections ship in Fortnite Chapter 4 on next gen consoles and PC. This is a huge milestone for Lumen, as it's the first time we've shipped it in a real game, with foliage, and running at 60fps.
