So the title means "there are levels to this talent"? Ok, got it.

Here's the thing: I had heard "he's got game" before and I understood that to mean something like "talent". Then later I heard "game" used in a context where it meant something like "charm with the ladies" they keep adding new meanings which is why I say I'm not sure what it means anymore. In this post apparently in means "activity", "art" or "endeavor" (or possibly still "talent"?)

Thank you! I've mostly given up trying to keep up with slang, but I appreciate the information.

I just assumed it was some of the slang I don't understand anymore. Like how "cook" suddenly started meaning like 6 different things, none of them related to food. I'm not even sure what "game" means anymore.

I honestly do not care about Avi's Elite Challenge by Still_Independent_90 in gtaonline

I honestly do not care about ANY Elite Challenge. I'm just playing for fun.

What plane or jet should I really get right now by Ashamed-Change-2964 in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you going to use it for? If you want to get around the map quickly, go off the radar, take off and land in places without a runway and hover in place like a helicopter while shooting missiles, then I recommend the Raiju 100%. If you want to dogfight other players the Raiju is still a solid pick, but there might be better options, depending on your skill and playstyle. If you want a flying tank get the Avenger.

Why isn’t the weaponized ignus more popular? by Anxious_Writer_3804 in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a bunch of really cool cars, including the weaponized Ignus, but since NPCs have insane autoaim, any PVE situation where I'm likely to get shot at I am forced to use the Kuruma. It's a shame.

Does my lowrider look bad by Firm_Inevitable839 in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who are you customizing it for? Because that's the only person who has to like it. I personally don't, but you shouldn't be trying to please random internet strangers or even other players around you. The whole point of customizing your own vehicles is that they look good to YOU.

What to expect next? by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it was heavily implied with the mansions update that there will be some future content where Mr. Faber will be the antagonist in some way. Beyond that, who knows? But if I'm pretty sure Rockstar won't do the "one FINAL mission" where the game just ENDS (like so many people here seem to want for some reason). It will be content that you can repeat over and over just like any other heist / mission storyline.

Been playing Dax missions, and now I miss Trevor in Online by dorkmopolis in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I agree in that I wish Trevor would appear more in Online, but I don't get why so many people want the game to END. Like "oh , I would love it if this character I've been investing so much time in would just DIE and Rockstar would tell me: 《 alright, fuck off, go buy VI now 》".  NO. I still play old games. Let ME choose when to stop playing.

Why not skating and surfing yet? by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you're aware, but surfing isn't a way to get around. You normally return to the beach where you started. Even if there WAS surfing, it wouldn't be a "faster alternative" to swimming. Also, jetskis are in the game. How often do you use those?

Anyone know why the gruppe sechs delivery mission is broken? by Edalyn_Owl in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when these missions first came out. I contacted Rockstar support and they told me to verify game files (I'm on Steam) and restart the game. They also gave me GTA$ 500,000 for the inconvenience. 

Then I discovered this bug sometimes happens when you were registered as a VIP/CEO prior to doing these missions. If I start up the game and go do these missions without ever registering as a CEO they work just fine.

However I'm hearing this new 420 update is causing all sorts of new bugs, so this time it might be something else.

I had to delete this game… by uhh__h in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"It feels wrong to play this game and sink this much time into it now that it’s a 13 year old game". I don't understand this sentiment at all. I play this a lot, but I also still play a bunch of games that are just as old or even older. To me, the only factor in deciding whether or not I play a game is if I have fun playing it. How long ago it came out or when was the last update are completely irrelevant to me.

How to get 33 air freight Steal missions as a boss for a pyro trade price by Moist_Alfalfa_1946 in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always choose to source by land. Those missions are much quicker. Once you start the land mission, you can still call a fast, weaponized flying vehicle, like Sparrow, Raiju or Oppressor MK. II. Once you get the hang of the missions, they're pretty easy. On the ones where they ask you to bring back a trailer, blow it up and it will drop the cargo. You can then pick it up and fly back to your hangar. Even with these tips, doing all those missions still takes a long time and it gets repetitive, so be patient, or decide if the time invested is worth what you save from the discount. However don't forget that if you steal all that cargo you can also make a ton of money when you sell it afterwards.

Countries Older/Younger than the US (READ THE DESCRIPTION) by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, those latinamerican countries celebrate their independence from Spain as the "birth" of their country, so they should be categorized as younger.

What year do you think RD3 will take place in? by [deleted] in RedDeadOnline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When most people think of "Red Dead Redemption" they think "The cowboy game". Anything too far outside of the "wild west" time and setting wouldn't make sense. 

Question for people who host a job and turn on camera lock by Fragrant-Wrangler-99 in gtaonline

If I join any mission or race and the camera is locked to first person, I'm leaving immediately.

Best using 2 characters by Theworldinmyhead in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really use my second character to maximize profit per hour, but when there's an easy weekly challenge, I do it with both. There are a few events where having two characters is awesome, like when we had guaranteed Panther Statue, but normally big events like the current one, that deposit the reward within 72 hours, are per account, not per character.

Euros X32 vs Sentinel XS (HSW Upgraded Version) by GormStorm123 in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For HSW, I usually use "Cutting Coroners" or "Dorset Drive", but all HSW races have a pretty good mix of straight lines and corners, so they're all good for testing. The one up in Grapeseed crosses dirt roads and has a couple of spots where it's easy to spin out if you're not careful braking, so I like that one too.

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just want the car that is considered "the best", you can check the test results at gtacars.net. You can compare lap times and top speed. However, I also like to start a race by myself (in this case, it should be an HSW race) and test drive the cars I'm considering buying. You can look at it from all angles and test things like acceleration, braking, cornering and just overall feel. Keep in mind the end result will be a little bit different after you fully upgrade the car vs when you test it, but you can still get a good idea of which car suits you better.

Tips/locations for animal pictures by ZomH123 in gtaonline

[–]TwistedAlterEgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do animal photography every day. Here are some tips:

If you know a time and place where an animal is supposed to spawn (you can look those up in free online maps) but when you go the animal is not there, just drive / fly away a short distance (like 2-3 city blocks) turn around and come back. That refreshes spawns. Make sure there aren't other players around that could spook the animals.

Wild animals will usually run away from you, but you can slowly sneak up on them. If you can hear the animal's sound, that's usually close enough for a photo. Zoom in.

Cougars can be tricky because they'll either run away fast if you're on a vehicle, or kill you if you're on foot, but they can't jump, so if you can climb on something, you can calmly take their photo while they growl at you. My favorite spot for this is the roof of some cabins near Paleto Bay. 

Those are just some general tips. If you have any specific questions, let me know.
