How to increase your Light and Dark Alignment in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3
(Image via Epic Games) Fortnite Chapter 6 , Season 3's Galactic Battle introduces the cosmic tug-of-war, where your choices shape the rewards and the gameplay. The alignment system allows one to pledge to the Dark or the Light side, and to balance the cosmic forces requires more than just luck. It needs a strategy. Here is how you can maximize your progress and reap the biggest perks while influencing your galactic balance. Grind Alignment quests for the cosmic clout NEW COMMUNITY QUEST - How to Progress your Light Or Dark Alignment in Fortnite Star Wars To boost the Light Alignment , partner with the Rebel factions. Land at Rebel Outposts (Light) or Resistance Bases (Dark) for tackling tasks like searching supply chests, traveling 1000 meters, learning Force Push/Pull through Training Rifts, and traveling set distances.

Experimenting with both sides will help maximize the XP, but committing completely to one will be best for some endgame advantages. The Force and the victory await those who plan wisely.

Mall retailer in bankruptcy can't find buyer, shares closing plan
When a retail chain dies, it tends to be a slow, drawn-out affair. You almost never see a chain die quickly. Instead, it happens in stages that often end in a dramatic death scene where a last-minute recovery still seems possible. Related: Key toilet paper brand files Chapter 11 bankruptcy The last few weeks for a retail chain that's going out of business often seem like the final minutes in the life of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. In that scene, Luke, his recently-discovered son, drags the Sith lord toward a shuttle after Vader had saved the young Jedi from Emperor Palpatine's Force Lightning. They don't quite make it, but the dying bad guy has time for a little more drama on the ramp of the shuttle. He asks Luke to remove his helmet so he can look upon his son with his own eyes. Luke points out that doing that will kill him, Vader says it's inevitable, and Star Wars fans get the long-awaited Darth Vader without his helmet shot. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Yes, the fact that he looks like a neon-white Humpty Dumpty saps some of the emotion, but for a science fiction film, it was a very dramatic moment. Another such moment is the death of Forever 21. It may not impact the balance of good and evil in the universe, although it will significantly impact the supply of T-shirts with sassy slogans on them. Image source: Bloomberg/Getty For a few months, Forever 21 did the "will they/won't they" file bankruptcy dance before finally filing on March 16. At the time of the filing, the company shared that it planned to wind down operations at its U.S. stores. "Wind down" wasn't just being used because it sounds nicer than "liquidate." The owners, F21 Opco, retained hope that a buyer might emerge. The company has reached a Plan Support Agreement (PSA) with its lenders that will determine the chain's next steps. That was explained in a press release: Basically, the owners have to shut the chain down but remain hopeful that a buyer will step in. It's now a month later, and no buyer has publicly stepped up. That means there are some dates fans of the retail chain need to know. Once Forever 21 began its going-out-of-business sales, all sales, both in U.S. stores and on its U.S. website, became final. "Accordingly, we will no longer be accepting returns or exchanges. Additionally, at this point, we are no longer offering new gift cards or credit cards," the chain shared. If you have a gift card, you're running out of time to use it. April 15 is the last day gift card will be accepted by Forever 21. The company shared in a court filing that it expects to vacate roughly 354 leased stores by the end of April.

The chain's bankruptcy and liquidation (or "wind-down") process only impacts its U.S. operations. Forever 21 stores outside of the U.S. will continue to operate business as usual.
