And finally, it might have just been lame: a concert in a video game, that logic goes, just can't live up to a concert in the real world. Fortnite's live Marshmello concert was a triumph on a level that's burning a hole in my brain here an hour or so later. This Saturday, DJ Marshmello gave an in-game concert in Fortnite, a popular battle royale title and current cultural touchstone. The events reinforce the idea that Fornite's island is a real place where real things happen: You can no more relive a moment on Fortnite's island than you could in the real world. This is the culmination of that effort: a can't miss event that swirls the ecstasy of live music with the absurdism of living in a world like this one.
