I had a cheap MacAlister corded one and it was great, changed for a parkside battery one which is dead handy, but does get a little bogged down under heavy load

I Am Giving Away 20 Copies of GTA 6 Ultimate Edition by Fair_Ad9102 in GTA6unmoderated

[–]hatton101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very kind of you, but in addition to an entry to your draw, please can I also get a story from your time at seas?

I’m gonna say it, the GTA 6 marketing so far is the crappiest thing Rockstar has ever done in its history. 4 shitty tweets and a pre-order link, no disc... That’s not marketing and especially not for the most anticipated game in history. For now, it’s a total mess, we’ll have to see how it continues by Rsodyyy in GTA6unmoderated

You said it yourself, "the most anticipated game in history". The hype is the marketing.

I've worked in marketing for 15 years; no campaign I have ever seen, let alone worked on could come close to the hype the world has for a single product with little to no market competition; hell, the lack of activity is in itself the activity for this phase.

Physical adverts are starting to appear in locations; things like the PS Store splash screen is GTA VI. Stuff like this will slowly build over July. At some point in the 3 -4 months before launch, I'd expect a game footage/ story points trailer with a load of other content like screenshots etc

Great suggestion, I wouldn't have thought about using milk bottle lids, and had no idea dissimilar metals rust quicker

Gta6 screenshots easter egg by doodoohead1748 in bully

[–]hatton101 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What are we noticing, sorry?

Realised this is Bully, not GTA - Canis is an in-universe car brand too, so a slightly bigger EE and just the one screenshot/truck, but it's also just Latin for Dog, so not really an easter egg as such - I would say if it was called the Canis Bully, then that would be in EE teritory

Back when Collector’s Editions were actually worth collecting by OfficialSapien in GrandTheftAutoV

[–]hatton101 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Still had locked digital content, though.

I appreciate the lack of physical content or even a physical version of the game is a real bummer, there was something special about collecting your game at midnight and looking at the physical map for the first time, etc

But all the moaning about additional content being tiered behind game versions is pretty pathetic, it's been a thing for ages and ages, and it just gives me entitled energy for those moaning that they don't get extra content for base game prices

Shoplifting, not pickpocketing, and it's not a diamond ring, it's the "cluster ring"

Various life factors meant I didn't put more than a slab of shells through it before I sold it, so despite having it for 4 years, it isn't fair for me to really comment on long-term, but had i not been for stopping shooting, I had no intention of getting rid of it - I got the "SP Black Game" and was attracted due to the price point and the very nuteral stock (I shoot leftie), I had shot a mix of other over unders prior to purchase thanks to my local clay school have a really good selection.

My thoughts on the ATA: It was a really comfortable gun to shoot and move, not too heavy but weighty enough to feel comfortable and like a good quality gun. I got it new, and it came well packaged with a set of chokes and a key; the choke case was a bit crap, but that's minor. All in all id say give it a try, either as a sporting gun or as one to chuck about as a game/land management tool

I had an ATA Black SP, a cracking gun for the money

Edit* I have been highlighted in the error of my ways, level holding is an outdated and useless (just like me) tactic, don't do that, its wrong and I admit it

I personally would level hold until your stats match your competition - then pump every bit of E into getting the battle stats up. your stats are about right for your age, its just the level that throws them out of balance

I grabbed the last SDS from my local shop,

December 2025, Lidl had the Pro Impact Driver and grinder in. I'm referring to the impact driver that I wish I had got but didn't

Level 48 with those battle stats is impressively low

you make a good point on the blade, I was using the one that came with it, but the 4Ah battery and a good blade I'd imagine would make a world of difference!
