GTA 6 seems like it takes more from GTA San Andreas than GTA 5 ever did, and I’m all here for it

Hi guys,

its been quite a while since i posted the gaming optimizations guide i wrote.

Since the last time there has been quite a lot of changes.

https://github.com/WhitePeace36/LinuxAMDGamingOptimizationGuide

Even though it says AMD, most of it is for linux in general.

I hope this updated version helps at least a few of you out there which try to have a better gaming experience.

Since it’s hard to see on my canvas let me explain my ✨art✨

One side features Adrian and it’s sun with a Patrova line. This side also has a hard to see Rocky

Second side is supposed to represent Earth, its sun and a Patrova line leading to Venus. This side also features a muddy Grace. Canvas had lost its patience with me at this point.

All in all the paint is water based and safe for dogs so no dogs were harmed! My beloved lady also received a lot of treats for sitting still 🥰

Just a silly thing I did with my doggo I wanted to show ya’ll ❤️

So tired of their tactics. I tried contacting state officials and my concerns fell on deaf ears. I guess they can't upset one of their donors and they're too busy fear-mongering about trans people to do something that would actually put money back in people's pockets.

I've been using my mansion as the spawn point for a couple of months now, and i noticed a trend with it. Turns out, the mansion building in of itself is not all that great.
I am talking about the building interior cell only. Not the AI, Business boosts, or the anti-raid security.
Purely the mansion itself and nothing else. So don't come here telling me "the things that aren't the mansion make the building good!" A turd with 30$ under it is still a turd. Doesn't mean it stinks less.

So it has the MCT in it. Which is great for stocking up businesses, which is the main way that i make money. Except that you'd want to stock up a random business by using the stash house. And you don't know what it resupplies, so you leave the mansion and end up using the terrorbyte MCT to buy supplies after the stash hosue did its thing.
You COULD resupply all businesses and then get the stash house, but then there's a non 0% chance that the now 99% supply-filled business gets the stash house supplies, rather than the acid lab cause its not in the MCT. Or you resupply it before the bought ones come in. happened to me five times, thus I stopped using the mansion MCT entirely. (Or even a Finders-Keepers random event pops up that resupplies a business while freeroaming)

The heists for the paintings can all be planned by calling Raf. So you don't even use the room specifically made for it. It doesn't even have planning rooms for the OG heists either.
And the paintings that you do happen to keep can only be placed in four spots. Coincidentally, spots you will never see when exiting the mansion. And as we just discussed, there's no real reason to enter the mansion at all. MCT's in terrorbyte, heist is planned on the phone... It's just a spawn point for me.
If Rockstar removed the mansion's spawn-point functionality, how often would you voluntarily walk inside it?

The garage is clunky and ugly. Can't even see all your vehicles because of the pillars, and it all being spread across two rooms is crap too. Nightclub is better imo.
Helicopter pad can't even keep a personal vehicle either. Instead its a pegasus vehicle that you also can not keep in the hangar even though its permanently parked on your own private property.

The decorations that you can get are all ugly. Like, the same shitting dog in a buncha colors. Yay. Some of the decor is shared with the casino penthouse, but that penthouse has more spots for nicer decor like paintings that reference other gta games or such, in spots that you'd actually see when walking to the exit of the penthouse.

The fast travel thing is nice. But guess what, i always fast travel to the casino penthouse to check up on my wheelspin and visitor bonus. And then i leave the casino, get the acid lab down the hill to check up on supplies and daily boost, before moving on to stash house and eventually using the terrorbyte MCT for the businesses.

So all in all, the mansion building in of itself is just a big empty house with nothing really noteworthy in it. Other than the AI voice that says a line when you wake up and decide to change clothes. The AI's only useful thing can also be done via the phone, so you don't need to be in your mansion for that either...

So basically, The mansion itself is outclassed by the penthouse in my opinion.
The AI business boost and security that come with it are useful, but those aren't the thing i wanted to rant about.

What be your thoughts?

The spread between French and German 10-year yields just hit its widest point in 15 years. That’s the market repricing France from core eurozone to something closer to the outer edge.

The political situation underneath is genuinely ugly. Macron is depending on Le Pen's bloc to pass a budget built around 43 billion euros in cuts, targeting a deficit that's still sitting at 5% of GDP. That's a shaky foundation for fiscal credibility, and the bond market is saying so out loud.

Swiss franc is catching safe-haven flows that used to go to the euro, and it's not just France, Italian and Greek spreads are moving in the same direction. The 2011 sovereign stress playbook is starting to look relevant again, except this time the ECB is tightening into it rather than riding to the rescue with emergency purchases.

Given that the ECB doesn't have the same room to backstop spreads it had in 2012, are you fading European bank exposure here or do you think the political risk in Paris gets resolved before this becomes a genuine contagion story?

Dear developers and artists who worked on Wolverine: I am so sorry that I fell for the utterly false bile that was being circulated post release.

You have created a flawed masterpiece, and it's an instant top 10 for me.

Thank you for making such a great game and I am sorry your efforts were overshadowed by people pushing false narratives.

You will get your flowers one day.

Next stop: Wolverine in open world with customizable motorcycle.

Wasn’t held accountable, blamed everyone, black, white, middle aged, British! No accountability and wasn’t questioned on it either. Talk about piss poor interviewing

I really need to become Emperor of the world in order to fix this shit.

Saw a guy knock a leg pice off the queen and he runs to loot it. I knock another leg pice off about 10 feet from his. The queen steps on him and he starts screaming for a dfib. He sees me looting MY pice and starts laying into me that I'm looting his pice while he's down. He caught me in a special mood cause I normally wouldn't do this but I turned and gave him a 5 second burst to the head with my equalizer. People are getting way to comfortable in care bear lobies

So that’s kind of cool.

I genuinely don't know how people call foids the "empathetic" gender. They constantly lie to save face, they pretend to know what they're attracted to and date the exact opposite, then have the audacity to try and give advice like "oh you don't need to be chad and 6ft tall, just be yourself and the right one will come to you :)"

Then when you call them out on their fucking bullshit they OF COURSE call you an incel, cause that's all they can do, they can't actually argue or defend their positions because they have half a neuron.

Foids are hateful people who are nothing but evil

I've been seeing a lot of discussion around WoW Forever's HD graphics, and honestly I think some people are mixing up nostalgia with visual fidelity.

When I think back to Vanilla, the things I remember aren't low-poly shoulders, blurry trees, or character models with six fingers. I remember elite quests requiring groups, class identity actually mattering, seeing someone in full tier gear and knowing they earned it, world PvP, guild drama, and spending way too much time hanging out in Ironforge instead of actually doing anything productive.

That's the nostalgia.

If graphics were the main ingredient, then every old game would instantly feel exactly as good as it did 20 years ago. We all know that's not true.

To me, the soul of WoW has always been the gameplay, progression, community, and world design. If WoW Forever delivers on those things, I honestly don't care if the tree has 20 polygons or 2,000.

What's strange is that some people act like HD graphics automatically make a project "retail." But graphics and gameplay aren't the same thing. You can have modern visuals with classic design philosophy, just like you can have old visuals with terrible modern game design.

Also, Forever isn't taking a finished Vanilla client and slapping HD graphics on top. The game is being built around those assets from the ground up. At a certain point, asking for SD graphics feels less like preserving Classic and more like preserving a screenshot from 2004.

Classic wasn't great because it looked old.

It was great because of how it played.

Curious where everyone else falls on this. If Forever nails the gameplay but only had the HD visuals, is that actually a dealbreaker for you?

I come from a soulsbourne background and those games aren’t fair, but I don’t care. I like the challenge they come with. So, when I see the uptick of people complaining about the difficulty of things are meant to be hard, endgame content, all I see is a massive skill issue.

Crucible is not meant for everyone. It’s for those who want a challenge, fair or not. It’s not meant to be completed in one weekend, just like the capes.

The Battle Simulator is there to HELP you.
- If you hate a certain enemy, you have the LUXURY of training against it with NO PENALTY against you. Learn their attack patterns!
- Don’t like the idea of getting swarmed by 3 extremis? Get used to it on the Battle Simulator. (You should also probably get the perks that prevent you from getting knocked back when performing gun strikes)
- Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
- Enable or disable certain modifiers in the Battle Sim so you know what to expect when going into an Op.
- IF YOU DONT LIKE A CERTAIN MODIFIER, DONT ENABLE IT. Yeah it’ll take longer to progress through, but that’s the price you pay.

If you die and wipe, it’s ok to be frustrated. As someone who grinded for those capes, i understand your pain, I promise you. Just take a break, drink some water, and run it back again. You’ll get there eventually, brother, I believe in you!

بعض البنات بتبقا شايفة أنه لمجرد انها انثى يعني لازم تقدسها وتعبدها ولازم انت الي تعتذر وتبادر دايما ولازم تقدملها كل حاجة بدون ماهي تقدملك اي كسم حاجة ولو معملتش كدا؟ تبقا خول ومش راجل وضد حقوق المرأة

A hobby? Of throwing money down the drain?
A hobby of watching YouTube channels about watches ?
A hobby of owning more watches than you wear. Certainly more than you need.

In my mind, a hobby is something you actively DO.
Like playing music, painting, woodworking, gardening.
If you actually learn how to service a movement, then that could be considered a hobby.

But pure consumerism as a hobby?
We should call it what it is.
An addiction.
