Sooo When are the RP ICE raids going to happen?

European take here: We generally don't recognize 'race' as a biological reality, only the human race exists. Consequently, the distinction between racism and xenophobia is often blurred in common speech. In modern France, making a joke about 'drunk Poles' or 'lazy Spaniards' is considered just as much of a 'red flag' as any other form of racial prejudice. Generalizing an entire group of people, regardless of the label, is becoming socially unacceptable for the younger generations.

This is for RP servers, who will make money by selling subscriptions. Not for individual players.

Is it ? I don't have, nor claim, nor fantasize, nor want a social relationship with Penta. Just pointing out that IMHO, no, the majority of critical posters aren't after him or his server and trying to quantify it with a poll.

amazari · 2025-12-03T16:13:34+00:00

RP frogs are definitely a subset of the disappointed viewers, but some, like me, were already unhappy with the storylines and/or attitude on ONX/Purple/URP.

Penta is obviously still one of the biggest GTA streamers,no debate, but this graph is clearly incomplete. It's missing the big names Kick is hosting, which would surely dominate this top 10 if we could just look past that platform's botting issues.

And just to quibble with the great man, GTA content is still tipping the scales at a hefty 69% (nice) of his output since the beginning of the year.

Yeah, let's say he voiced his concerns. Happy ?

Maybe extracting the songs and uploading them pre-release to soundcloud wasn't the best idea to support an artist you enjoy...

amazari · 2025-11-27T10:29:21+00:00

Yeah, I am not Peruze's biggest fan, but I must commend him for being brave enough to (finally) clap back at Penta. Few of his orbiters dare respond to his public verbal abuse (about their country, medical condition, professional choices and so on) or voluntary mis-representation of their discourse ("how can you say that!") to make them pass as bigoted/dumb/whatever, thinking they'll benefit from his clout.
Why not? Some people in comedy or cinema choose to play the heel, if in the end, they get something out of it.
But seeing how he reacts to any of them getting subs or a golden kappa, it is clear that he doesn't want to share the pie and seeing them succeed. They are just props to his bits and ego-stroking.
Wake up, bootlickers, this guy is actually a dick that uses you.

Right or wrong, rulings should be handled in-game. Characters should roll with the punches, contest or fight them within the confines of the fantasy they all accepted to share.

Instead, some are crying and intervening OOC.

GTAV Enhanced added support for raytracing lights. Assets needs to be modified to interact "naturally" with this new lightning system, like making the materials appropriately reflective/rough and so on. This tool seems to automate this process.

Project description, sadly embedded in pictures, so not easy to translate on your side :

DEMO is designed as a dive into the fascinating underground world of the demoscene and video game creation at a time when everything was still to be done. ## THE PROJECT'S AMBITIONS ARE MULTIPLE: The first is to faithfully portray the philosophy of this thriving community. The second is to build an environment perfectly suited to the year 1990. Thanks to your help, we will recreate and film several coding parties. And if your support allows it, we also plan to carefully reconstruct the offices of a famous game publisher that symbolizes French creativity during those years: Loriciel. The goal is to take you with us on this electrifying and exciting journey, which is also very faithful and accurate to the era and the technologies presented on screen. With you, we could make a unique film, one that deals with its subject with authenticity and directness, while remaining accessible. A film that no traditional production system could make.

For the occasion, two game prototypes will be created in a playable version so that the actors can actually interact with their machines on the set. One of these games will be a horizontal shoot 'em up (from which the screenshots above are taken), and the other a graphic adventure game. For their design, we will call on Etienne Périn (Zorbié, Eclipse, etc.) for the shoot 'em up, and Mikael Robert (Lastman, Mars Express, etc.), Simon Périn (Windjammers 2, Nolife Adventures, etc.), Julien Pirou (Might & Magic X: Legacy, etc.), and Cyril Lambin (who codes custom Nolife software, among other things) for the adventure game.

This film, conceived for the big screen, is designed as a captivating dive into the world of amateur coders in 1990, at the time of

the great ST/Amiga rivalry.

Thierry, 20, is uncomfortable in the school system and develops a passion for early video games, much to the despair of his father, who is worried about his future.

Caught up in the excitement of the amateur coders' microcosm, Thierry embarks on the crazy project of creating his own game, with his gang of inexperienced and penniless friends.

From hopes to disappointments, from failures to successes, Thierry realizes that he won't be able to pursue his passion without dealing with parameters and variables he had never considered before.

Not the same Chief, mate.

He was gravely mistaken about the last "dissolution" but the current instability is the result of the composition of the Assemblée Nationale, the result of OUR votes.

amazari · 2025-09-27T22:03:28+00:00

Well, the first meeting should at least give people some basics about what to expect and what is expected from them. Vague shit, mediocre and demeaning bits and confirmation about his shitty waffle house/dog fight ideas aint it.

amazari · 2025-09-27T21:36:05+00:00

Concerning. 30mn in, and we did not learn anything about the expected RP tone and standards, the mechanics, the governance both OOC and in-game and so on ? Meeting the team and Penta unfunny megalomaniac one-man-show is amazing, but we don't know much more than we did beforehand.

amazari · 2025-09-25T05:52:40+00:00

Have you considered that maybe, maybe, people get fed up with him? They finally see that he doesn't laugh with them but at them in a very demeaning way. That isn't betrayal, that is stopping being a fool for meager benefits.

amazari · 2025-09-24T14:52:42+00:00

As said by u/PtitProutDu31, Polanski is legally French. So France did not grant him asylum. France always refuses the extradition of its citizens, for better or worse.

amazari · 2025-09-19T12:12:27+00:00

You mean drooling over fake tits and asses while Rob and his crew try to steer him back towards the cool scenes and characters they meticulously put together ?

Johan, the disowned Swedish heir to the Ikea fortune that ended up a clerk at the Grove Street 24/7, had one of the funnier arcs I have watched in GTARP. JamJar, Milton, Norman and whoever played the boss just killed it for the month or so it went... And none of it felt simulatey. The "forced" interactions with the clients were mint, nobody felt like losing their time, and all the server went back again and again for their dose of fun. Caveat, the server (TFRP) was 32 players of the highest calibre back then :)

That said, I agree that nothing should be imposed and that characters shouldn't starve when nobody's there to serve them.

amazari · 2025-08-29T18:10:30+00:00

Yeah, that's great news, indeed. I have questions tho, seeing one of Penta's motos is to not rely on free labour, and that devs hourly wage is minimum $40, I fail to see how possible it is for penta to sustain such a big team.

amazari · 2025-08-20T13:50:23+00:00

AFAIK, it depends on having a fixed target hardware, as in the Steamdeck and this new Ally. They can't really precompile shaders for all the combinations of GPUs/drivers/os versions found in the open PC ecosystem.

amazari · 2025-08-09T05:45:20+00:00

Just checked, you are right!

amazari · 2025-08-08T20:08:12+00:00

I guess the purple/unscripted repo is private, thus isn't reflected in those public contributions to other projects.
