    Grand Theft Auto VI

    Seems to me that they wanted to make Lucia front and center. But this failed in every expensive focus group. So they are going to set it up for a rugpull somehow. The gameplay trailer did reveal some of it. Where they make a scene of the "evil DEA agent" executing the black guy who dropped his...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    Realism is what made GTA4 hella gay. They toned that down in GTA5 only to amp it up here again because of the success of RDR2. I do not like that you are being pushed into serially robbing convenience stores with some weird investigation angle to find and crack their safe. But it is in line...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    On that list. All in all it looks like they are going down the path of tedium is gameplay like RDR2. You have to refuel your car and recharge your Tesla? What the fuck? You have to commit petty crimes like robbing 7-11 to make money throughout the game? Comes off as just doing missions wont...

    I am totally going to buy one of these. Commodore 64 was before my time but it will be cool to tinker with along with my kids.

    Lucia has a proper Latina booty. Not a troon. Gameplay looked real good. I'll def play it next year!

    The Fast Food Thread

    Been going to Culver's a few times a month as its on my way from work when I pick up my kid from school. I'll skip breakfast and lunch and go to Culver's at like 4PM instead. It's becoming my favorite fast food place as a Culver's Deluxe combo is still like $11 and if I decide I want a Culver's...

    The Blood of Dawnwalker

    I want this to be good but this trailer comes off a bit weird to me. It removes the "grounding" of the Witcher. Yes they are both fantasy games but you have flying around, shapeshifting, and other retard shit you move more into very gamey gameplay. IDK, it just comes off to me like they took the...

    This is a data platform role. So the person in question must have a lot of experience with 2 or 3 of the following: Snowflake, Azure, Airflow, and DBT.

    Okay then I would describe the issue as identical in tech. Lack of curiosity and work ethic resulting in a total inability to work autonomously. Which is what I expect for a senior or staff position.

    Monsters of God

    Yeah this show is definitely interesting but you cannot really make smuggling reptiles into some sinister crime syndicate thing. They smuggled radiated turtles, iguanas, and whatever. The dastardly and vicious wildlife protection service busted them and they spent a a year or two in prison...

    Not really my call on what roles we have per se. We already have 2 juniors who I am teaching to be seniors. One is making progress and the other isn't because he learned from the retard. You can use AI, but it wouldn't help you understand. Like I said, the problem I have is people claiming...

    So I have been trying to get a backfill for the streetshitter I got to quit. That guy was retarded and didn't deserve the job sure, but even in supposedly tech hub Austin I cannot find any decent candidates to backfill him. I've been looking since May and all of the applicants I get for a...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    In all honesty, showing zero gameplay should start hitting some alarm bells here. They are what? Less than 90 days from release in November? Has there ever been an actual official gameplay clip? Even one?

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    You are absolutely right there. GTA 6 online is the real goal here. It was also lightning in a bottle they are unlikely to capture again in an artificial way. They are banking on an entirely new and bigger audience to play GTA 6 online. Their cash cows in GTA 5 Online will probably keep on doing...

    What are you playing?

    Try it again and play it understanding that you hyper aggressively attack until the enemy deflects you. Then you deflect them. You do not really try and dodge out of stuff most of the time. Once you start doing that the way to play really opens up and it gets more and more awesome. Everything...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    Characters like DAX from GTA Online, the two carjackers (forget the names) and some others. There is a video linked somewhere in this thread about it. Looking at all of the GTA5 Online stuff added over the years when compared to previous titles and even the base game. A supposed Drug Kingpin...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    The game itself wont be bad. That is not the argument I see anyone here making. The gameplay will be good, the setting will be good. The bad parts will be reflected in today's Rockstar staff and their inability to write interesting characters. There will not be a totally unhinged Trevor type...

    Then I suggest you prepare to be disappointed my good man. I will rate this game by how many diversity characters and woke bullshit ends up in it. Each such interaction drops it down a peg.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I mean, IDK what y'all are expecting. The gameplay here is going to be near identical to GTA5. The only thing that makes the game here is the new location, vibes, characters, interactions, and so on. The core gameplay of stealing cars, shooting stuff, driving fast, and all that I don't expect...

    I am currently a Staff Software Engineer, working in Data Platform Engineering. No shortage of opportunities for my discipline, if you will. Or do you only mean the Professional Engineer certified type roles?

    Guild Wars 3

    MMOs need time and gold sinks more than other games. Mounts serve as a decent chase item that gives you a great convenience once you achieve it. If you don't have them you'd still need some other sink.

    It isn't an issue for most games. Sekiro and a few others have some very specific weirdness that I could not get to work on any of the distros I have used.

    The first steam controller was such an abomination that threw it in my closet and forgot it ever existed. I went back to a 360 controller for years. I moved on to 8bitdo because I switched to a Linux machine and I wanted just one controller to use across my devices. Xbox controller is hard...
