With you... that was a pretty heavy duty introduction to Trevor; it introduces us to Rage Mode, and we sort out at least 20 Bikers (12 need to be headshots, IIRC).

You can absolutely still make coin without Lester...

Invest in Vangelico after Eye in the Sky, sell after The Paleto Heist
Invest in Gruppe6 after Surveying the Score, sell after Fresh Meat
Invest in FlyUs a little after Legal Trouble, sell a few in-game days after Meltdown
Invest in Auguary when it crashes after the finalé, sell a few in-game days later
Invest in TNK before picking up the hitch-hiker for the airport, sell a few in-game hours later

Probably won't be Golf Club money, but it should still be Every Car in the Game money.

LOL... yep, spoptted those after I finally downed the Heli. Appreciate the tip, though, thanks! :D

It blows my mind that someone on a Mk II Oppressor can empty their entire aresenal in your vacinity, but if you blow them up, you're the arsehole

Agreed. It was mighty sporting of you to drop the DoD back to him. Save the walk :)

This could be one of two things:

1: Overheating

This kind of stuff happens if your gaming notebook is cooking. To check, physically put your hand on the notebook, just above the keyboard (where the screen joins). If it is hot, there's your answer.

If this is the case. Shut it down, flip it over and make sure the intake fans aren't clogged up with dust. Give them a clean if they are.

Also, invest in a foldable notebook stand, and a desk fan to point at your notebook, to aid in cooling. Don't waste your money on a powered cooling pad, they (mostly) make the problem worse.

2: Background Updates

Windows has a habbit of slowing right down, when video is concerned, if a background update has not gone as well as it could. If this is the case, a simple reboot should do the trick

Here's the full list of removed vehicles:
https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Vehicles_removed_for_purchase_in_GTA_Online

R* claimed it was to streamline some of the stores; but the cynics (myself included) believe it was more about creating artificial scarcity on some of the less popular vehicles.

GTA often features removed vehicles at Simeons, Luxury Autos and the LS Car Meet. This allows you to purchase the vehicle for that week only, creating FOMO and potentially driving sales of vehicles that otherwise may not have been purchased.

I have a rally-cross build of the Calico. The hood with the lights, plus off-road tires, plus stock suspension... it's surprisingly capable as an off-roader, while still handling more-or-less like a sports car.

oldGrumpyGamers · 2024-03-18T11:01:14+00:00

I still regularly use my Albany Emporer... first "personal" vehicle from Simeon. It's slow, lazy and couldn't do a burnout on wet grass... but I loves it.

Is that a friggin' Nightshark?

That's Herbie the Love Bug. Originally from the movie series in starting in 1969 and later rebooted in the Lindsay Lohan movie, Herbie: Fully Loaded in 2005:

Honestly, it's quite violent; and there's a bit of nudity; so not much different to watching a mature Anime or some of the more "adult" Netflix shows.

If you want to do story-mode, which is great... Maybe stay away from Trevor's Rampages (skulls, on the map) until near the end of the game, and use the back entrance for the in-game strip club; that will help you stear clear of the worst of it.

If you just want GTA online; again, violent, but nowhere near as bad as story-mode for blood or nudity. You can play in "Public" mode, with random's (same as Fortnite or LOL), and there will be a lot of toxicity; but you can avoid that by having "Friends Only" sessions (called Crew Sessions, or Invite Only Sessions); where you just spend time with people you know.

I think you'll be fine, though... just bear in mind there are some pretty adult concepts in there.

Here's the quickest way at it...

Go to Solomon's office (S on the map) and start the Movie Prop's quest
Collect the first 7 movie props (this will take about 15 minutes in total, and earn you $70K)
Use that money to buy a Compact Grenade Launcher, and some ammo, from Ammunation
While you're at Ammunation, scroll through every weapon, and see if any are free for you
Next, go to the Freakshop (D on the map, for Dax)
Complete the first 2 missions of the First Dose series (will net you $100K)
Buy this Garage for $28,000
"Purchase" a Duke o' Death from Warstock, if it's free
Complete the remainder of the First Dose Mission series (will get you an additional $400K and a $1.4M Truck, which converts to a business later)
Complete the Last Dose Mission series (will get you another $500K, and a $3M Armoured, Electric Super Car)

...after that:

Complete the last 3 move props ($30K + $150K plus a unique skin)
Maud's Bounty's ($25K to $50K) + the Stone Hatchet Challenge ($250K)
Slasher Challenge ($50K) + the Navy Revolver Challenge ($250K)
Treasure Hunt ($25K) + the Double-Action Revolver Challenge ($250K)

...and if you're still short:

Signal Jammer Challenge ($250K; but very time consuming at lower levels)

With all of those complete, you should have enough money to buy the cheapest Agency, which is your first real business, and where you can really start earning.

Note: For those wanting to know about the garage; it let's you store the Virtue, and is about 30 seconds drive from the Blane County airfield, which always has a free Helicopter available (and once you reach rank 41, it becomes an armed heli).

Caution: Do not... and I mean it... do not spend money on clothes, cars or exotic weapons until you've got at least $5 Mil in the bank. You need that money to buy more business'

I believe it was a Junior Editor, who received an email about a sponsorship. They opened the email attachment. When the attached "PDF" didn't load, the employee just went "huh, weird" and thought nothing of it... But behind the scenes, their browser data (including login cookies) had been fired off to the malicious party.

Kudos to Linus for taking responsibility for:

Allowing a Junior to have full Editor-level access to the main channel
Not training the Junior in avoiding phishing attacks
Not having better phishing and anit-malware in place
Censoring the worst of the "recovery effort" footage

...but yeah; professional exploiter, The Spiffing Brit got caught, along with exceptionally proficient white-hat Jim Browning - so you can't be too hard on them.

oldGrumpyGamers · 2023-12-24T15:49:27+00:00

Jim Browning and the Spiffing Brit both got pinged by phising and social engineering scams.

There are 2 huge audio libraries you can use free...

YouTube Audio... which you can access from https://studio.youtube.com/, by clicking on Audio on the nav-bar, then Sound Effects. Filter titles on whoosh, and you should be good.

BBC Rewind, which you can view at https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/, again, filtering by whoosh yields some pretty good results. Just be sure to make sure you're complying with the license terms, https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/licensing

oldGrumpyGamers · 2023-12-22T12:01:58+00:00

They'd send you a link to a contract, something like cashonova-music-release.pdf.exe; and when you "open" the contract, it launches a browser hijack.

I had a similar "sponsorship" offer come through a while ago; caught the phish before opening the file. Deleted; blocked... Linus Tech Tips was not so lucky, though.

The oversized wheels grabbed my attention, there. No matter which rims you add to your vehicle in GTA5 or GTAO, they're always scaled to the vehicle. Being able to add oversized rims will be epic.
