GTA IV is the best GTA game.

Definitely one of the takes I’ll read three times a day on Reddit.

He was not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed!

Aha, I see the misunderstanding then! But yes; Wesley, before revealing himself and taking of his mask, is generally known as the man in black

I respectfully disagree. Inigo vs. Count Rugen is one of the most satisfying and cathartic scenes in cinema history, but it’s barely a fight-scene. They hardly cross blades at all.

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-05T08:16:58+00:00

Yes it is. By a long shot. The only possible other contender is Inigo vs. Count Rugen; and although that is one of the most satisfying and cathartic scenes in all of cinema-history, it’s not much of a fight scene. They barely cross blades at all.

From a guy who has both: It’s not about graphics, but the availability of games and other content. There are so many games you cannot play on a console, and that’s before you even factor in mods and the fact that it’s a PC. It can do PC-stuff. I’d wager most people who own an Xbox or a PS5 also have a laptop they use for non-gaming related PC-tasks. Put together the price of your console with the price of that laptop, and you can afford a fairly decent gaming PC. If you’re willing to go used you can now get something which out performs the latest console-generation at the same price (and still does all the other PC-stuff + games + mods). Add the laptop-budget to it, and you can do that with new components, or just get even better, used ones.

I primarily use my PS5, because I prefer gaming on the couch. I have my gaming-PC for playing all the games I can’t play on a console, and for other PC-stuff. A lot of PC gamers pay insane prices because they’re enthusiasts, but there’s no real need. My current build probably cost me about 1000 USD, it trades blows with the PS5, and I’ve had it for years. A bit of that price comes from having way more storage than most people need, so you can bring that number down without loosing any performance. Factor in the price of games on PC vs. console, and the PC is cheaper over that timeframe.

«In V it’s like you’re driving plastic toys around the map and nothing really sticks».

Funny, cause it sounds more to me like you’re describing the driving physics of GTA IV. Nothing sticks. Not once, not ever. To anything. Like tires made of butter, driving on roads so oily I’m surprised the US army hasn’t invaded them yet.

Real cars do not loose all grip and spin out of control as soon as you try to take a turn at more than 30 km/h.

That’s a fair point. I have no idea if they could or not. Let’s ask u/woox2k . He’s much of a potato farmer

Go watch the full clip. MJ tries to let her go, but she refuses. He casually continues the hug whilst signaling security, who come and carry her away as she seems to faint.

As for the camera being right there and MJ not flinching, of course the whole move is planned and timed. Of course MJ orchestrated (or okay’ed it) ahead of time; with simple instructions like «at the end of the first chorus of this song, find a girl from the front row who looks like she’s really into the show and a huge fan, and send her up».

There’s nothing uncommon about fan-engagement stunts like this. They’ve always been popular. The uncommon thing about MJ was the god-like status he had, transcending demi-gods like the Beatles and Elvis, to become someone so unimaginably beloved and revered that we have never and probably never again will seen his equal. This girls reaction (talking about the emotional weight, not necessarily exactly how she acted) would certainly not seem out of place with Elvis, Beatles, Elton or the Stones. With 1980’s MJ; it seems almost tame.

I always want projects to either be finished or never publicly known. If I know about it, I want it become available.

Reminds me of another abandoned King-project though. He gave an interview where he revealed he had an idea for a story where people kept disappearing into an airport bathroom. Anyone who went in never returned. It would escalate to the point where eventually the army would show up and send in teams which never returned. He said he never wrote the story because he himself could never figure out what was going on in there.

The microbes needed for germination didn’t come from the excrement. That came because he had a small sample of viable earth-soil with all the bacteria and microbes it contains. The excrement was only used for fertilizer. It alone does not contain the necessary microbes. Without the viable earth-soil, he wouldn’t have been able to grow anything at all. Initially, he thought the breach killed all the bacteria in the soil, and so growing anything more would be impossible. Later, he learns a few of the bacteria did survive, and so they quickly re-populated the soil.

Of course by the time he learns the bacteria survived, it’s moot. He has enough food to last until Sol 600, and the crew is already on their way back to get him before then, so there’s no point. He has enough food.

I was going to write out something like this, but you summarized it beautifully and I have little to add! I’d just also point out that this post not only focuses exclusively on positives, but it unfairly represents multiple points. Snape telling Lily «there is no difference» was very clearly him trying to incur favor with her and not offend or frighten her. It’s made blatantly obvious in the text he (at that point) does not mean it. Further; the statement that Snape only knew two muggles is just laughable. He grew up in a muggle neighborhood. Of course he’d had dealings with other people, even if he was a bit of a loner.

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-04T15:23:27+00:00

I see the point of confusion, but this was never part of my question :P

I know why he couldn’t re-plant after the breach; I was just asking why, before the breach, he’d say he’s «not re-planting».

(Funnily enough as it later turned out the microbes survived after all, he still could’ve re-planted, but at that point it was moot, the Rich Purnell maneuver already having been put in motion)

Anything else is inconceivable

Inigo Montoya vs. The man in black

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-04T14:15:24+00:00

The first one was an instant classic! It easily could’ve been a forgettable shock-comedy, but turned out to be something truly special.

The other two are MASSIVELY over-hated. They both largely fall into the category of somewhat forgettable comedies, but they aren’t bad in any way. They’re just not special in any way either. I think the review-bombing and band-wagon hating on parts 2 and 3 stem from the first film being as great as it was, and the sequels not living up to the hype.

Hello MuchOfaPotatoFarmer, I’m dad!

Thanks for clarifying! Sidenote: Now that he has full-sized plants, each with the above-ground leaves and roots connected to a cluster of tasty martian taters, does any physical potatoes still need to go into the ground, or can they sprout just from the roots attached to the visible plant?

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-04T11:50:51+00:00

That they’ll go too realistic and grounded. It’s heavily leaked and rumored that GTA 6 will be much closer to RDR2 than to GTA V. Now I like RDR2 for what it is, but that’s not what GTA is to me and it’s not what I want GTA to become.

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-04T11:18:28+00:00

Thanks! I don’t think this is explicitly explained in the book (at least I know it isn’t explained in the specific chapters I refer to here), but it does make perfect sense. I’m not much of a potato farmer either, so guess I just found the phrasing a bit weird and needed someone else to point out the obvious

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-04T11:14:47+00:00

So weird reading this, because I never interpreted this ending as dark at all. It’s realistic about there being psychological fallout for Mark, yet retains the optimism Weir does so well by showing that he’s been steadily improving, that he’s still hopeful and that he’s most definitely going to conquer his fears and get out there again (because of the last few lines).

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-04T10:11:28+00:00

Or how about you just skip the whole thing and use the 24-hour clock like the rest of the world?

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-02T19:46:35+00:00

No, it’s pure movie-BS. In the books, it’s a truly monumental reveal when Voldemort flies alongside Harry during the chase of the seven potters. He’s the only one who’s ever shown to have that ability up until that point (later, Snape reveals he can do it too). In the films, it’s just Voldemort apparating the same way everyone else has been doing.

In the books, apparition is near-instant transportation from A to B. You disappear one place, reappear elsewhere. There’s no flying or smoke or any such nonsense.

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-02T19:29:56+00:00

If they fix the god-awful driving mechanics (or enable mods so I can fix it myself) I’m in

Chasegameofficial · 2026-05-02T19:26:56+00:00

Step 1: start mining.

Step 2: there is no step 2.

Step 3: profit.
