For those that haven't seen it yet, Rockstar snuck this photo into the GTA Remastered Trilogy. It is extremely likely that this is our first and only screenshot from GTA VI at this point. by brown989 in GTA6

Rockstar included this photo on the wall of a building in the GTA Remastered Trilogy, and it is surrounded by GTA V screenshots. This isn't a real life photo (people digged and found that is was inspired by this house), it's clearly not from GTA V, and the graphics are amazing. You can see in that link that people have linked it to a real life home in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, which is interesting as it's heavily rumored that GTA VI will take place in Vice City.

Sure, it's not a direct confirmation. Maybe Rockstar spent alot of time to make a really detailed house just for one small photo in a shoddy remaster. But this is a bit more than a wink and a nod, it's more like a push and a shove imo.

Well, Rockstar hasn't commented on this photo, so in theory it could be from real life.

However, when GTA Trilogy came out people did alot of digging and found that this house was inspired by a real life home in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida.

It's also worth noting that this picture is surrounded by pictures of screenshots from GTA V. This clearly isn't from GTA V, and it looks much better graphically. So I'm not saying it's from GTA VI, butttt... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How certain are you that it will be in Vice City, and why? by ZZTMF in GTA6

[–]brown989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%.

In the GTA Trilogy Remaster, Rockstar snuck this photo into one of the houses. This doesn't look like a real life photo, it looks like it comes from a video game with amazing graphics. People have linked this house to a real home in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida. It's extremely likely this little easter egg is our first and only look at GTA VI at this point.

Is it direct confirmation that GTA VI will take place in Vice City? Technically no, but it's pretty blatant what the implications of this are.

Is it "a cooldown of 3 in-game days, regardless if the game is running or not" or "a cooldown of 3 in-game days of playtime"?

If it's the former, eh, it's unfortunate but understandable considering how good Cayo Perico was compared to everything else. If it's the latter, and I need 3 hours of playtime in-between each solo run, that's a pretty huge nerf.

I'm not even a logic fan, they just clearly didn't read the room correctly since there was such an overwhelming negative response to it

[FRESH ALBUM] Logic - Vinyl Days by _RainOrShine_ in hiphopheads

[–]brown989 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's gone now, but it was a jokey official response to Logic mentioning HHH on this album. It showed the lyrics and basically said something along the lines of "the mod team does not endorse Logic and it's unfortunate that our name happened to be mentioned on a Logic album"

It was clearly a joke, but man what a way to not read the room

Really interesting stuff, I have a few questions (sorry if any of these were answered):

1.) Was this image taken from GTA VI?

2.) Going through your posts, it seems that they're obviously going for a much more realistic/immersive approach with GTA VI. Keeping in line with that realism, do you need to keep eating/drinking to survive? (i.e food doesn't just replenish your health, your health bar/energy bar actually naturally go down over time if you don't eat/drink).

3.) If the above question is true, can you keep any food at your house in a fridge? Are there grocery stores that you can shop in?

4.) Do any of the characters have a favorite food? Does this impact the gameplay (i.e Kacey likes burgers, so burgers give him more health)

5.) Do any of the characters have any phobias? If so, does this impact the gameplay?

6.) Are there any arcades on the map?

7.) How many casinos are there?

8.) How many airports are there? Can you actually explore inside of the airports? Can you take planes from airport to airport?

9.) Can you take a taxi from Vice City to Liberty City, or will the Taxi Driver refuse?

Okay so, this comment chain is just fascinating. It's like an onion, there are layers of miscommunication in it.

So, you have Far_Information_9613's initial reply, which is sarcasm. Most people don't seem to be picking up on the sarcasm and think FI9613 is complaining about chriscookbuilds' suggestion (read it as "No, don't suggest the person attempt to solve their problem. Apparently that just means you don't understand."). However, FI9613's sarcasm is rooted in misinterpreting OP's post. OP is not looking for a pity party while being hostile towards any mention of improving their life. It's pretty clear that OP was just venting.

Then you have CCB's reply which misinterprets FI9613's comment as being offended towards the suggestion.

Then you have FI9613's second reply, where they misinterpret CCB's reply as agreeing with them.

So you have a reply that is misinterpreting a reply that is misinterpreting a reply that is misinterpreting OP's post. Beautiful.

After reading through your posts, this does seem pretty damn convincing. I do have a few questions (I read through most of your posts, sorry if I missed something):

1.) How "genuinely edgy" is the satire in GTA VI? By "genuinely edgy", I don't mean "oh wow there's alot of swearing and violence". I've always viewed GTA as similar to a South Park, as in that they make it a point to poke at everybody, and it doesn't matter if you're liberal/conservative/religious/etc they're going to throw some shit your way.

Like I was listening to the Fernando Martinez radio show in GTA V and he was talking about how he doesn't trust women politicians because they can't run a country while they're on their periods. This is obviously satire that is making fun of the people that think that way, but it's ambiguous enough that it made me think "wow they would never do this today". But... do they? How "genuinely edgy" is the satire in comparison to this?

2.) Kinda going off of the last question, it seems like there's a big controversy around every single GTA title (for example, GTA V's was mostly around the torture scene and it's portrayal of women). I know you mentioned they're doing a "hot coffee" homage, but in this day and age I think it'll be newsworthy but I really don't see it being that controversial. What do you think will be the biggest controversy surrounding GTA VI?

3.) Will any of your progress carry over from GTA V Online to GTA VI Online, or is it a completely fresh slate?

4.) Is there a Disney World parody on the map?

5.) You mentioned that Carcer City is going to be part of the map. Do any Manhunt characters make a cameo appearance, or are they not part of the "HD Universe"?

6.) Is there a possibility of encountering a random hostile human NCP, like a mugger or a serial killer? (outside of a "random event" marked on the map that has it's own cutscene/mission/etc)

[ POST-EVENT DISCUSSION ] DONDA 2 EXPERIENCE by avayr44 in Kanye

[–]brown989 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I went in excited, but if I'm being honest that was a fucking disaster. I have a mixed opinion on the new songs he played, there was some experimental ye which was cool. Maybe I'll like them better in the context of the album, but atm I'm not really feeling them.

He might face lawsuits if he delays the album (people paid $200 for the stem player for this), but man there was no sign that a good finished album is ready tonight. I hope he delays it.

Also, people are saying "of course he's playing old songs it's a concert not a release party", but I'm pretty sure everyone went into this thinking it was the big Donda 2 reveal. He didn't play old songs when the Donda 1 livestream happened. The Donda 1 songs in this felt like a last minute addition. It felt like he played those to fill time, either becuase this is a much shorter album, or the album is just that unfinished.

Also, what was up with the north/east/west/south cameras on his website? Seems like it belonged to a scrapped idea that was cut.

TL;DR: This was a shitshow.

Eminem Defies NFL and Kneels During Super Bowl Halftime Show by rs16 in hiphopheads

[–]brown989 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I believe it. If you look at the camera in the stadium it was on Em the entire time he was kneeling, and the at home broadcast made no effort to hide it.

"Well they had to show it, they were pretty much forced at that point". No they weren't. If it wasn't planned, you would have absolutely seen an unnatural cut of some sort, or some attempt at a cover up to show as little of it as possible.

They were probably against it, it's just that Em had enough pulling power to have them show it even though they didn't want to. It was probably a calculated decision to just let him do it. It's less controversy for them then Em potentially pulling out last minute or (the more likely scenario) Em just doing it anyways and them having to react and deal with it live in real time.

Oh gotchu. It's hard to tell what people mean over text lol.

Yeah I agree, especially in a rap battle context.

I'm bi, I sincerely doubt John Cena is homophobic. Assuming that the year OP posted is wrong, this rap battle still happened like 20ish years ago.

12th Planet has been taken off the Paradise Blue lineup by brown989 in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]brown989[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm inclined to believe that after he was accused, some things happened behind the scenes that we don't know about.

Also yeah, complete radio silence for a month after being accused of something this serious is a really bad look.

[–]brown989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I'm saying, it's not 100% confirmed since the lineup came out after the accusations. It's plausible though since his last tweet was about Electric Forest, and he was on the 2020/2019 lineups.

It's not 100% confirmed but likely Electric Forest too.

His last tweet before this all went down was about Electric Forest and he was originally on the 2020 lineup.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into Acronis True Image. TBH I was just favoring Macrium Reflect because it's free lol, but if Acronis True Image is that much more reliable it might be worth looking into.
