Piracy is a service problem, not a price problem.


Would be horrible if loads of people made independent clones/mirrors of that repo while it’s up again


I used to be Xbox, bit as I became more and more of focused I ended up building a pc for the livingroom, with steam big picture and a controller. Rdr2 is a big TV game for me, weird to play at a desk


Ah got it. Sorry to be pc master race but that’s why I didn’t notice. Although their hdr implementation leaves a lot to be desired


Grand Theft Auto is a video game franchise built around criminal activity," Cordero-Stutz said in a statement (via the Miami Herald). "Its fictional world includes murder, robbery, drug trafficking, carjacking, violence against law enforcement, and other conduct that the men and women of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office work every single day to prevent.
Ah so he would be equally upset promoting movies or tv shows who show any crimes. Nuance and satire are not a thing for this man. See now Hollywood, Miami doesn’t need anything filmed in their city.
Such an obvious ploy to try and convince the oearl clutchers to vote for him for mayor. Even though this is a very unique thing to bring in tourists.
But no a train and plane wrap, and a place for selfies and influencers will bring Miami into chaos.


I’ll be honest, does rdr2 need a next gen update? Or is this a specific release for ps5 or something?
Personally I don’t play GTA 5 online, but I like how Alana Pearce put it. I don’t like it, not my thing, but it’s just a money printer that lets rockstar make whatever they want to with near unlimited budgets. So thanks to those who buy shark cards and micro transactions so we can have masterpieces like GTA and rdr


Fully agree. It’s the zeitgeist right now, it’s the biggest gaming moment in a long time, and while the hate of crunch and union busting is real, rockstar has a solid track record of near perfect games. Few of them, but near if not actually perfect. Guaranteed most people here complaining will pick it up after a while and justify it to themselves.


It’s that it’s not downvoting at this point. It’s brigading. That’s what I’m really annoyed at. It’s not that people disagree, it’s that everyone dogpiles on because GTA bad must hit downvote to send it to -1000. That ruins it for those who do want to enjoy it and makes it harder to see, and then we can’t have an honest conversation about it until someone posts “hey it’s kind of annoying that it’s being brigaded”


I actually do agree with you. I am tired of people only complaining and brigading on anything GTA. Its so cringey to me, they could simply ignore the content, but instead have to make sure everyone knows they’re on the Lemmy bandwagon. They’re hipsters, plain and simple. They are too cool for the next star wars and biggest game of the decade, and they have to make sure eeeeveryone knows this. I am excited for the game and wish I could engage more with that side.


I’ve seen way way way more here on Lemmy bitching about GTA 6 than I have seen actually about it. The complaining about rockstar and GTA 6 is probably 80% of all the rockstar content I see here.


My discord account itself is 11 years old now, most of my accounts are, but they still need to age check me. What did I set it up which n I was 4?


Yeah I’ve tried to convince family and friends of the dangers, that it’s not tinfoil hat anymore that is is happening and can’t get through. Some have come over, but most will continue to use everything.


I can’t afford groceries but thanks for a racist knockoff of a game that came out decades before I was born, sweet.


We would also have a ton of random YouTube videos that they’d be copy streaming left and right.


I’ve been doing that, I use kubernetes, so kagent. Sammy at first but it calmed down. It’s neat to have it auto triage something that went down or failed, parse the logs, look at the hardware and health and then tell me when it’s time.
GPUs are sparse but I run on a 3090, VRAM is king. If you have one for a server it’s not horrible to spin up an llm


I think that’s what I’m trying to say though, is rockstar is one if only two that actually may be worth it, and that’s only if they meet a red dead 2 level of relplayability.
I break things down by hours of enjoyment vs cost. So let’s say a movie ticket is 2 hour a for $20 now. So $10/hr. Pretty high. Ubisoft games are $60 and it takes about $60 hours, but I’ll only play it once probably. So $1/hr. Much better than a movie theater but then there’s red dead 2. $60 originally, but I’ve played now 5 times at 120 hours a play through, so 600 hours. (I did not plan for the math to work out that easily, but it’s accurate). So 600 hours, so $0.10/hr. So to me and my personal math, $100 is justified, even twice, if I will be playing it over and over.
It’s also why I truly laugh and shame ubisoft for thinking they deserve the same. There’s absolutely no way it does. It’s 1/10th the value of a rockstar game.


If I go that route it won’t be day one, which means some reviews will come in. This is looking like it may be near RDR2 levels, if it is and reviews confirm it, I could see then deciding to and buying a second copy on PC later.
I would only do that for rockstar and cdpr, honestly because both have made games previously that have been worth it. I get downvoted to hell, but honestly a game like rdr2 is worth $100, even twice over. It’s a masterpiece. Same with cyberpunk for me. If the reviews come in and people say it’s truly a masterpiece, I could be swayed. But that is a pretty high bar.


I’ve been thinking that actually, but they’re overpriced now. But maybe a month or two after release, we’ll see


Yes and no. I use llama server to run my own local models, and then open ice to monitor it. From there a lot of open source services host MCP servers which then can help integrate. I then use it to auto write the documentation on the layout so next time when I say “go to the ZigBee controller and tell me…” It knows first go to the docs, it remembers where it is and any useful commands, then continues on.
Pass. You’re either a troll or very naive, either way I don’t respect your take.
