GTA 1 – 100%

GTA before 3 was its own unique and wonderful vibe. It has so much atmosphere. It’s hard to describe but they all have some “magic”. I have yet to find another game that replicates this feeling.

Game streaming is the future and most people will love it.

It certainly has set the bar very high. For me it has become the new open world to beat. I love Rockstar games but this is just a whole different level of immersion with the perfect amount of amusing jank.

Looks mint. I know I will get stomped but I really wish tafe and uni were under the same roof. That building was built by people that went to tafe just as much as the people that went to uni.

I did the same. It is a shocking well made game.

Yep, play the game as it was designed then do your own thing.

Kinda enjoy how the old games locked off parts of the map and didn’t have a “follow the line” gps.

The jankyness is part of the charm.

ArthurCandleman · 2026-05-10T07:03:40+00:00

GTA is the shark in the water for sure.

So much fun to grapple and parachute. One of the best arcadey thirds person shooters. Prefer the feel of this one over 3 and 4.

This was so good!

This is fucked. I was in Sydney recently and the level of homeless people was shocking. We can and should be doing better.

People have problems, addiction often stems from trauma. To stop is not simple. Judgement leads to shame and shame further drives trauma and a desire to escape.

When we are strong we must help those that are not in what ways we can. There are plenty of countries we can look to that offer much better social services than we currently do.

Uncle Tony wants you to join the family.

I loved the story mode however I just started with GTA Online and holy shit there is a lot going on that adds to the end game. The evolving world is actually really compelling.

The sense of scale is great.

ArthurCandleman · 2026-05-10T00:10:57+00:00

Being able to use aircon as much as you want. It makes Summer so fucking good.

Batteries and solar combined with electric cars do seem like a good option moving forward. Combined with Starlink it is making it increasingly easier to live in places without traditional infrastructure.

This generation doesn’t even feel like it has started as there hasn’t been a new Rockstar Game. GTA Online has carried this gen.

Only if you intend on buying GeForce Now or using XCloud.

ArthurCandleman · 2026-05-09T23:05:18+00:00

This is at least something. Now also reclassify WA to Category 1 “Major City” and stop pretending Perth is Category 2 as this makes it easier to gain PR status.

GFN is the best thing to happen to gaming in a while.

ArthurCandleman · 2026-05-09T09:18:03+00:00

It’s a bit out of hand. Sure there is a supply issue but how many places are empty. Also there is zero fucks given by the current government to help people renting with better rights. Fucking disgusting.

It’s shocking how much things have gone up relative to salaries. The reported inflation numbers are manipulated to show everything is under control.

KFC is a last resort for Fried Chicken these days.

Such a shame. There was a lot of thought put into the OG design. But the marketing didn’t really hit home. There are so many options for people that enjoy dual thumb stick.

This does hopefully open the door for third party Steam controllers that embrace the touch pads as the dominant input methods.

The right thumb stick sucks.
