It's not great that their new releases aren't accessible without a paywall ATM, but they are still releasing episodes, just in case it might've looked like they fell off the face of the Earth!

One of the new songs has a music video I ended up being in which is pretty cool to think about.

ColorUserPro Link ParentThat beginning is one of the best uses of the digital medium for storytelling that I've seen. Hooked me immediately on a story I may not have looked twice at if I knew what it was about.That beginning is one of the best uses of the digital medium for storytelling that I've seen.

Show enough that people see it happen, but don't risk showing enough to get in trouble.That tracks after the ITAR goof during Artemis I's launch.

Comment on Megathread: April Fools' Day 2026 on the internet in ~talk

I really enjoy that Rockstar creates about as open a world as open world games can get with each release of theirs. I have over a thousand hours in both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, not to mention GTA 4 and RDR1, and it's so easy to spend countless hours driving, flying, horseback riding, exploring, and making the most of an environment where if you want to do something, you can go and do it, no questions asked.
The games are built around gunplay but that's not the main appeal to me, even if I enjoy the shooting ranges in GTA or the target practice in RDR2 with glass bottles scattered across the map.
The new GTA 6 Extended Look has confirmed to me that the new game will have the side activities I like to see in their games, plenty of ways to go and do exciting and novel things, and hopefully even see the equivalent of Cape Canaveral in the Florida-inspired map.
If you want to try and get into it again, my advice is don't approach it as a mission-based story with an open world on the side, as Rockstar games are notoriously weak in the structure, freedom, and gameplay of most missions. Find the things in the game that appeal to you and use the progression of the story to advance those interests. GTA V has many game mechanics that are locked behind a certain mission or part of the story that must be completed, and getting to the other parts of the open world is my motivation for playing missions more than the mission itself, in most cases.
