We now have an official launch date for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 remasters of Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5). Rockstar announced this morning in a blog that the remaster will arrive on November 11th, which is nearly six months away. While GTA 5 runs and still looks good on the newest consoles (if you can get one), there’s still plenty of room for improvement to take advantage of the hardware capabilities of these Ryzen 3000/RDNA 2-fueled gaming beasts. To that end, Take-Two boss Stauss Zelnick explained in early March that making a simple port just isn’t in Rockstar’s DNA when it comes to games.
“We’ve done [remastering] differently than the competition – we don’t just port titles over, we actually take the time to do the very best job we can making the title different for the new release, for the new technology that we’re launching it on,” said Zelnick at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference. “So, we improve the technology, we upgrade the visuals, and we make performance enhancements.
Play “I’m confident that Rockstar is going to deliver just a great experience, but you can’t do that if you’re just doing a simple port.”
Rockstar says that in addition to the visual enhancements, the GTA 5 remaster will also have “new features and more” that Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 gamers can enjoy. “Plus, in honor of the upcoming 20th anniversary of the genre-defining Grand Theft Auto III, we’ll have even more fun surprises to share — including some specifically for GTA Online players,” Rockstar added.
GTA 5 has enjoyed a relatively long period of success and user engagement in the world of video games. The game initially launched in 2013 at the tail end of the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 generation and flourished with the release of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 families.
While the GTA 5 single-player campaign was praised for its gameplay, strong characters, and deeply engaging story, the game has really thrived thanks to its online components: GTA Online. GTA Online has become a cash cow for Take-Two, and Rockstar has understandably introduced continual updates to keep it fresh.

As coworking office interior spaces continue to grow in popularity, the importance of comfortable and ergonomic furniture is becoming increasingly evident. Ergonomic furniture is designed to support the natural movements of the human body, reducing strain on muscles and joints, and ultimately improving productivity and overall well-being. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of using ergonomic furniture in a coworking office interior space and how working with a coworking office interior designer can help create a comfortable and functional workspace.
Improved comfort and productivity
One of the main benefits of using ergonomic furniture is improved comfort and productivity. Comfortable furniture can help reduce fatigue and discomfort, allowing employees to work for longer periods without experiencing pain or strain. Additionally, ergonomic furniture can improve posture, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and improving overall well-being. By investing in comfortable and ergonomic furniture, coworking spaces can help employees stay focused and productive, ultimately benefiting both the individual and the coworking space as a whole.
Reduced absenteeism and turnover
Uncomfortable workspaces can lead to several health issues, including back pain, headaches, and carpal tunnel syndrome. These health issues can result in increased absenteeism and turnover, ultimately costing coworking spaces time and money. By providing ergonomic furniture, coworking spaces can help reduce the risk of these health issues and promote a healthy work environment. This, in turn, can lead to reduced absenteeism and turnover, creating a more stable and productive workspace.
Improved employee morale
A comfortable and functional workspace can have a significant impact on employee morale. When employees are comfortable and feel supported, they are more likely to enjoy coming to work and feel valued by their employer. This can result in increased job satisfaction and a more positive work environment overall. By working with a coworking office interior designer, coworking spaces can create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, helping to boost employee morale and improve overall job satisfaction.
Improved brand reputation
Finally, investing in ergonomic furniture can also help improve a coworking space's brand reputation. A workspace that is comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing can help create a positive impression on potential clients or customers, ultimately improving the coworking space's image and reputation. By working with a coworking office interior designer, coworking spaces can create a space that is both functional and visually appealing, helping to attract new clients and retain existing ones.
In conclusion, investing in ergonomic furniture is essential for coworking spaces that want to create a comfortable, productive, and healthy workspace. By providing comfortable and functional furniture, coworking spaces can improve employee morale, reduce absenteeism and turnover, and improve their overall brand reputation. Working with a coworking office interior designer such as Flipspaces can help create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that employees are comfortable and productive while also creating a positive impression on potential clients or customers.

I hate myself. I’m young, rich, and lonely.
Throwaway account.
Basically, I hate myself. I’m so young. I just turned 23. I am very wealthy for my age, and make almost a half million a year.
I started my business a couple years ago. I loved it. I was happy and had relationships. My business has tripled in size and revenue since then. It is still growing.
I came from a lower class family. So I never experienced any excess of money or “fun” growing up. I always felt the struggle financially. My parents relied on me financially until about a year ago.
All I do is work. I am constantly stressing about it. It is my life and has consumed me. I don’t have anyone. I have no friends. I have no family I talk to, except my brother.
My dad abandoned me and my mom is a nut job, if that provides any context I am missing.
I have spiraled into a life of alcoholism, drugs, and other bad shit. It is the only thing that numbs the constant pain. It just makes me feel worse. It almost has zero effect nowadays.
I used to be happy. I used to have friends. I used to enjoy life. Now it is just a depressing cycle of waking up everyday and running my business.
I just come home and drink every night. I hate myself for that. Alcohol is the only thing left that makes me ‘feel’.
This past year has been ok. I have done so many things that can be bought with money. I have two very expensive cars I have dreamed about since I was a kid. These cars would be thrilling to anyone else. I just don’t even have interest in them anymore. I even threw away $100k in wallstreetbets this year, just to feel something.
I have been reckless. And it was only a quick high.
I really don’t know where I’m going with this post, or even my life. I feel I have already won life- which is determined by wealth. I can have anything I want. I have already done everything I have dreamed of at this age.
I have nothing to look forward to.
Why do people want to be rich? This is fucking terrible. I am just in a deep pit of emotional pain. No one would even know this. People think I am just a lucky and joyful young man.
What do I have to look forward to?
I sit here in with a drink in my hand taking life one minute at a time. A minute feels like eternity.
Yeah sure, I act like a snob. I act like an asshole. I do have a big heart deep down, but no one to spend it on.
I just want a friend. I want my family back. I just want to be happy.
I’m sure I’m forgetting alot of shit, but whatever.
Writing this actually feels good. Is there any insight here or is this just a phase?
Anyways, thanks for listening.

I recently had an “interview” for a job with Dunkin. A guy asked me for my full name, my email, and my date of birth. First thing as soon as he sat down. He said a couple of basic things like, it’s an easy job, and asked me if it was too early to start at 5am. I told him no it wasn’t. He didn’t ask me any other questions! When I said something like Wow. That’s it? That’s the whole interview? He said, well sometimes a person will give a good interview but they’re a terrible worker, and sometimes a person will give a bad interview but be a great worker. You seem nice, but you could be crazy, you know what I mean?? I asked him more questions about the job than he asked me about anything! So, the more I thought about this the more I’m wondering why he asked me for my date of birth? I am middle aged. Most people working there, including him were young. Is it common for Dunkin managers to ask for a birthdate first thing during an “interview”??? It just seems really sketchy to me now. Is this typical for Dunkin? I feel naive for answering him. It’s been a long time since I’ve interviewed for a job.🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel alone even though I know I am not. I am in a committed relationship and know I am loved, but I can’t stop struggling. I have a very bad relationship with my family, we basically do not talk anymore and every time I see a family that functions, my heart stops. I am a very family oriented person so actually having to cut contact with the most toxic part of my life hurt, but I knew it needed to be done. I was struggling with them and I cant seem to stop struggling without them because they have such a strong hold onto me. I was always feeling alone in a room full of my family there could have been 10 people but also only like 2 but every time i was in a room with them, i felt small. I felt unseen, unheard and unwanted. Now I can’t stop loosing those feelings and it sucks, because I do want the life I know I can have and deserve. I just can’t see myself having all that or even be alive for my next birthday. I’m young and I know that, I have a whole life ahead of me a lot of people would tell me, but I am so exhausted and so drained there is no energy left to fight for that whole life ahead of me. The only reason I keep going right now is my partner, kind of. They worked a lot to have me where I am right now and I couldn’t be happier to have this person in my life, I feel I owe them to keep on fighting even though its hard for me. But at the same time they’re also the only person that seems to want me to stay alive. After my father completely cut contact, my so called best friend also cut contact with me and now I feel more alone than ever. It became the most apparent on our trip. Every time something cool or funny happened they would have had someone to tell, always have someone that texted them to know how they are doing or feeling. While I had nothing. No one to text. So while they are my blessing they also remind me a lot of times how it is when people care about you and that I don’t have that, it stings. Seeing them happy with their family stings too a lot, but it also makes me have faith. Faith that some people on earth aren’t that cruel to just hate their own child or sibling to make them feel so unwanted all their life and then blame them for wanting to heal.
I am struggling, very hard because one part of me finally wants to just give in and make my own inner peace by not being anything anymore. At the same time a small but strong part of me, wants to keep going. Because of my partner but also because once I was that energetic happy little adventurous child and somewhere deep in me that child is buried and wants to come out. It just can’t right now and that is frustrating.

IMDb
Watched 3/17/23 Challenge is a thing 5/18/22
I must admit, this wasn't my first pick. I requested my daughter relax, cuddle and watch a movie with me. This is what she picked... and then totally abandoned me to watch alone.
All in all, this isn't bad at all. Maybe its a bit dated visually, and maybe its a bit dated writing-wise. (Flip phones!) Maybe its a bit little kiddish, and maybe its a bit more British than nought... but this Jammy Dodger slaps.
This has a fairly slow beginning and it's a bit hard to engage with at first, but once it gets rolling, it is a toilet bowl full of fun.
Most of the characters are rats here, or frogs, and they are created in all shapes, sizes, and personalities making them as human like as possible. They have their underground society, jobs, families, it's fun. (A little like Little Monsters!.. kind of...) The voice acting is surprisingly well cast and solid. Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Ian Mckellen, Jean Reno, Andy Serkis, solid.
They are all well and good, but I genuinely think the singing slugs steal the show. When they start singing and the music picks up, it elevates the film emphatically. It highlights the originality, and uniqueness of the picture. Roddy sings, Rita kicks butt, and the audience is invited to enjoy the ride. It's certainly the most fun ride down the poop chute I've ever had. (Except for that one time, but we don't talk about that...)
The last half/ two thirds of the movie moves along at such a good pace, introducing and resolving tension, character archs, setting the scene. It's a solid bit of original storytelling and witty dialogue and I'll give it my golden plunger of approval.
Anyways you could do much worse then spending some time watching cartoon rats crawl around in the sewer. (These cartoon rats anyway.)
I'll give Flushed Away a 3.5 out of 5.

A bit of background - I have struggled with depression, ADHD, and eating disorders for a big portion of my life, stemming from childhood trauma. My family has always had my back, but even so I seem to be one huge failure.
My parents are really good and smart people. They can handle money relatively well, even though we did not have a lot of it growing up. They saved up enough money for me to go to college and university, in hopes I would have a good career and end up with a good job.
During high school, i tired really hard to get good grades so I would be able to get into universities and proceed with my dream, to become an Entomologist(the study of insects). It is a high paying job, depending on the field. I love insects and arachnids and wanted to help them in this way. I literally wanted this since I was 5.
Well, fast forward to college and I began to work on that. That is when my eating disorder hit me. Nothing else mattered, my family, my education, nothing. I barely ate and overexercised to the point where I would faint almost every day, I just could not concentrate anymore. My grades dropped significantly. I received a letter from the Dean, saying that if I do not get my grades up Ill be dropped from the college. I had no choice by to switch majors. Had to switch to philosophy. Something "easier". Now, I love philosophy, and those who get careers in it, I envy you. But it is not really meant for me. But here I am years later, still in Philosophy. It was because I am too dumb to do the math portion of my education.
i know this is probably pretty dramatic, but I feel like i ruined my life by doing this. I am doing something that I do not really want to do, and I hate myself so much because of it. Unfortunately I still am plagued by eating disorders. I feel like my life has no meaning. I have no talents, nothing. And now I am pursuing an education(I know i am lucky to get an education, I wish everyone was so lucky) that i do not think will go anywhere. All I ever wanted to do is make my parents and partner proud, they worked so hard for their educations and welcomed new challenges. They tell me that they are proud of me no matter what but I do not understand why. I have not accomplished anything I wanted in my life, it was taken by depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
If I die, I will probably only make things worse. And once again, hurting the people I love. But at the same time, i will be at peace. I do not know what to choose.

Thank you for reading. Sorry for the lengthy read. Wishing you all the best.

so, here’s when the story starts i guess. I was taking pregabalin for nerve pain, and it caused extreme panic attacks. I quickly got off of it, but the stomach problems soon followed. I felt a menthol sensation in my throat on and off for a while, and consulted a doctor. she said it sounds like silent reflux and to take prilosec or pepcid. I wasn’t a huge fan of prilosec and didn’t think it was a huge deal at the time because the sensation would just come and go (trust me, i regret not taking it seriously). eventually it got to the point where that sensation became constant. at one point, i felt like that for four days straight, my chest hurt, regurgitation, trouble swallowing, horrible horrible burning sensation in the throat. so i got on the prilosec. it didn’t start working until 3 days. for a couple days i felt almost completely fine, and then it came back. this time it manifested with a cough as well. saw a doctor again. she said to bump it up to 40mg a day. i just started that as well as slippery elm, and mind you the entire time this has been happening i have been on the plainest diet in the universe, only eating foods that are supposed to help with this issue. it seems like no matter what i eat, it’s an issue. i’ve lost weight. i’m in pain every single day. i am so miserable. the doctor said at one point that if the prilosec doesn’t work for me, to take an h pylori test. the thing is though, to do that, you have to be off of PPIs for TWO WEEKS! how the FUCK! am i supposed to do that. i have a full time job, im living paycheck to paycheck, and i’m moving soon. i am also afraid to get off of the prilosec because of the rebound effect. i can’t do this again. i was so so miserable. i mean, im miserable now but it was so much worse. my esophagus HURTS. it feels like no matter what i do, i’m punished. i want to cry, but it HURTS to cry. and i’m supposed to just go on with my life? this is one of the worst things that’s ever happened to me. i need support and i need hope. i am so scared and suffering.

The Hermitcraft franchise is turning 11 years old! Over these 11 years, we've seen Hermitcraft grow from a humble anime to becoming the most popular card game in the world. Let's go on a walk down memory lane.
The franchise was born in 2012 with the premiere of episode 1 of the Hermitcraft Anime. It was an instant success and began its meteoric rise with the premiere of season 2, directed by Xisuma Void.
After 5 years of ongoing success in the anime world, Hermitcraft released Hermitron GO, an augmented-reality mobile game developed by Iskallia. This was when Hermitcraft began to see its transformation from a conventional anime into a story fans could be a part of. Even though Hermitron shut down after only one year, it has a dedicated cult following that persists to this day.
In 2018, the Team Recap! anime debuted. Featuring beloved characters Zloy and Pix, and a [chart topping theme song](link to theme), it turned Hermitcraft into an international success.
Even with worldwide acclaim, 2018 Hermitcraft still had a long way to go before becoming the icon it is today. With the 2020 release of Tongotak Evil Incorporated's Decked Out video game card-based gaming was brought back into the mainstream. Seeing this, Hermitcraft tasked Vintage Beef to develop a card game based on the anime. After many years of work, Hermitcraft: The Card Game, was released.
HCTCG was an overnight success. The variety of cards and tiers allowed for endless permutations of decks for fans to create and add a personal touch to. It's hard to believe that it has become Hermitcraft's most popular media, surpassing the popularity of the anime in just 2 short months. Many even call it a successor to Hermitron. Thank you for joining me on this journey into alternate realities history. Happy April 1st!

37m 31f couple 4.5 yo. Boy 4 month girl. Struggling marriage. Hello, this is the M writing his pov. F OR WIFE wants separation. Want to take the 2 kids to Philippines. We reside in California. She hates my family. And wants to move out. Due to the unaffordable housing situation in California, I do not have a house and is staying at my parent's house to save up. Wife can't stand my family. I suggest to move out to an apartment. We have the down-payment savings already, just I don't want to buy overpriced house. I rather rent till house correction. Wife is not happy and demands that I buy a house now. I will be the one to pay most of the down payment and possibly mortgage. I work 2 jobs but the mortgage is still too high for me. 3000 a month minimum for a small condo. I really believe the housing market will correct in 1 or 2 year. I don't understand why she insist on a house and why not rent for a few years. She just want to be out of my parent's house, but I have offered her to rent apartment, she still say she doesn't want that want just want to separate and take the kids to Philippines. I don't know what else I can do. I love my kids and I don't want to be apart from them. Why does it matter if she claims that living with my parents is the issue. The apartment will solve that issue. Wife's point spoken by her written by me: I don't like his family because I don't get along with them and they are controlling and entitled. They like to body shame the baby, and complain why I'm not doing enough around the house. They like to insult people and they think they are great. And they like to make people feel bad about themselves. I feel like renting is a waste of money. I would rather buy a house. I'm also working full time and not a dependent trophy Wife. We have been staying at his parent's house for 4 years now. I feel that is enough time and we need to move out..

GTA Online is Rockstar's incredibly popular cash cow that has been keeping gamers busy since 2013. Although the game should be relatively mature at this stage in its life, it still has plenty of flaws, such as horrendous loading times. These loading time issues have annoyed countless players, and now one player has tracked down the root issue to improve performance.
GTA V fan T0ST recently picked up GTA Online again to finish some new heists that have come out since he last played, but he was "shocked (/s) to discover that it still loads just as slow as the day it was released 7 years ago." With some grit, determination, and perhaps even some spite, T0ST decided it was "time to get to the bottom of this."
gta online ridiculous load times fixed benchmark
In the process of digging into GTA Online, T0ST had to do due diligence and research to make sure no one else figured out the problem. Once it was established that no one had, he ran some benchmarks on his PC with an aging FX-8350 CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 GPU, 16GB of DDR3, and a "cheap-o" Kingston SSD. Though these parts may be old, they should be plenty to get GTA Online off the ground in decent time, but that is not what happened. According to the data in the blog post, T0ST got into the story mode in approximately one minute and ten seconds, whereas it took nearly six minutes to get into online mode. After some polling, it appears that many other users are having the same issue . What could be happening here?
gta online ridiculous load times fixed taskmanager
Using the task manager, T0ST found that his CPU was being eaten for around four minutes during GTA Online's load process. Perhaps it was just a bottleneck happening on his CPU alone, but that would not make much sense. To track down the issue, T0ST went to dump the running processes' stack, showing where the offending process is happening in RAM. This information, acquired through Luke Stackwalker, gave T0ST a place to look for whatever was causing issues.
gta online ridiculous load times fixed lukestackwalker
After falling down the rabbit hole of trying to track down where the memory pointed, it all started to come together through assembly code reading and obfuscation. Evidently, when loading into GTA Online, a whopping 10MB worth of JSON is being parsed. It seems that it is data for something called "net shop catalog," which is likely just all the things purchasable in GTA Online using in-game currency.
gta online ridiculous load times fixed parseloop
Why this parsing takes so long is due to a function used called sscanf, which, in this instance, can be loosely equated to reading Romeo and Juliet by reading one word, then rereading the play, and then jumping back to the next word in the play. Furthermore, there is another bad programming issue just beside sscanf, which goes through the entire list of JSON entries in an array, one by one, and checks to see if there are duplicates by comparing a unique ID assigned to each item called a hash. Ultimately, it is a lot of extra and unnecessary work that slows down everything.
To solve this issue, T0ST decided to write a .dll (Dynamic Linked Library) and inject it into GTA so that sscanf is effectively streamlined. Also, rather than running duplication checks, they can just be skipped as items inserted into the storage array will always be unique, as was set up during the parsing effort. Once T0ST injected the DLL into GTA with both issues fixed, he saw his load times go from around six minutes down to a solid approximate two minutes.
As T0ST explains, this "won't solve everyone's load times - there might be other bottlenecks on different systems, but it's such a gaping hole that I have no idea how R* has missed it all these years." Ultimately, Rockstar needs to dig into this issue to save all GTA Online players headaches during loading. If you want to see what T0ST did exactly, you can check out his GitHub here and see what is going on. In any case, perhaps we will soon get an official statement from the development company, so keep an eye on HotHardware for updates.

So waking up today i wouldn't have found myself almost on the brink of just saying F the world. my day consisted of trying to play catch up at work because of the lack in people for our department. nobody wants to work for a corrupt/unprofessional system, my employers can't get anybody for hire because this job place is terrible when it comes to worker satisfaction. i feel most people in the younger generations such as mine have no motivation to work when inflation keeps rising and our wages are becoming almost a 4th of what we actually need to sustain ourselves as citizens and people of this society. people look down on you if you haven't moved out of your parents by the time you've graduated or they expect you to have a $70k a year job at 20 like some genius. the middle and lower class are tired but feel the need to work their job and live a normal 9-5 job life. people constantly ask whether I'm going to school or looking for a better job. the truth is, there's so much i want to do and achieve but there isn't possibly enough time to do all these things. going to school and graduating assuming you're going for some high profile job, that's about 4-6 years of school, that's already a large portion of your life in your prime cause lets face it, we all get old and can't do a job at some point and too old for other things. you spend 13 yrs in school forcibly, then you spend another 4-6 years in school for a high profile job, you're 17 by the time you graduate highschool, then assuming you're either smart or rich lets say you get enrolled for a university for the following year, you're now 23 and graduated with a masters, then you work, work, and work unable to enjoy the time or life you work for, you're slaved to doing and going above and beyond, but remember this is assuming the conditions have been perfect and its been a clear path, now throw some life problems like family, racism, wars, tyranny, and anything that could lead to a poor upbringing. tiktok also reminded me that our government is on the verge of collapse and, bills are being passed that are going to be limiting our freedom on the internet which is a literal offense of the 1st amendment. our currency is going to become useless because of china and Saudi Arabia making agreements and peace makings to help each other out in the oil industry, government accidents are happening left and right like the chemical spill and the fact that 2 TRILLION DOLLARS JUST DISAPPEARED yet mainstream media is focused on "TRUMP BEING INDICTED", "TIKTOK BAN", and other headlines and new stories to loom over the real news of a power struggle between all countries. what a time to be an american. God Bless all and stay safe everybody. <3

I don't care if I don't make a lot of money (would be nice though), I just want to be happy. Currently I'm going nowhere with that goal. I'm 20 years old, living by myself. I don't have a job, car, kids, or even pets. It's just me struggling to keep my mind stable for more than 2 weeks at a time.
I'd like to get into computer science but I have no motivation to learn, and I end up giving up after 20 minutes of learning nothing. I'm going nowhere with this goal either. I can't keep friends because of my mental health, and I have no sexual interests. Am I going to be alone in this loop forever?

Grand Theft Auto is no stranger to add-on content, but the latest in a long line of leaks suggests Rockstar might be taking a bit of a different approach for the long-awaited sequel — splitting up parts of the game to repackage as DLC.
The rumor comes from established Rockstar leaker Tez2, who says Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently targeting a release in holiday 2024 “which has been pushed back multiple times.” Tez2 adds the game may be pushed back again, into to 2025.
Furthermore, Tez2 claims Rockstar is considering breaking up the game’s content into post-launch DLC, to ensure the game can meet a release date. If GTA 6 launches in 2024, it will be a whopping 11 years since the last release in the franchise.
This wouldn’t be an unprecedented move from Rockstar, considering the approach the studio has taken with GTA Online, incrementally releasing massive updates and new story content. Notably, however, GTA 5 didn’t feature any additional story content, just updates to the Online portion of the game.
GTA Online GTA Online has managed to stay relevant for a decade with consistent updates, and it makes sense Rockstar would pivot to that same approach to single-player content.ROCKSTAR Taking this approach would let Rockstar more easily hit whatever internal timeline is established for GTA 6, and provide a road map of content to make post-launch more appealing to players. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time this kind of rumor has been brought up by Tez2, as last August the leaker reported GTA 6 would “expand over time,” adding on new cities after launch.
The easiest approach would be to create content that ties into both the single-player and multiplayer aspects of GTA 6, and creating new cities in-game could do just that. New locations could be fully playable in the online portion, while also adding on hand-crafted stories and missions. This would allow Rockstar to continue the overwhelming success of GTA Online, while story content could help attract new players or those that might not care to engage with multiplayer.
This tactic of splitting up elements of the game as DLC is something Nintendo has been using for years, to great success. Mario Strikers: Battle League, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Nintendo Switch Sports, have all seen scheduled add-ons for new content, even years after their initial release. At this point, it’s not clear how much of a live-service element there will be for GTA 6, but this Nintendo-like approach would allow Rockstar to retain players who are primarily interested in single-player experiences.
GTA 5 Although GTA 5 never received single-player DLC, Rockstar’s director of design said in a 2017 interview the studio would “love to do more single-player add-ons for games in the future.”ROCKSTAR Nintendo stands apart from other developers, though, in that typically these updates are free or bundled with a Switch Online subscription. It’s a smart move, as games like Mario Strikers, which would typically have a very short shelf life, suddenly provide players with more of a reason to stick with it for the long haul. It also allows Nintendo to continue to sell its older, first-party titles with minimal discounts.
There’s no video game property in existence bigger than Grand Theft Auto, and a report in 2020 estimated GTA Online made a staggering $600 million in 2019. Even in 2023, it continues to hold an enviable place in the sales charts month after month. The popularity of GTA Online has only continued to increase over the years, and that mainstream success is exactly what’s poised to make GTA 6 such a massive success.
Breaking up content into DLC lets Rockstar bring GTA 6 back into the conversation every six months, year, or whatever release timeline suits the studio and the community best. Seeing a big GTA 6 update in a State of Play or other presentation will likely bring thousands of players flocking back to the game, and considering GTA 5 and GTA Online are still alive and kicking a decade later, it’s easy to say Rockstar is hoping for lightning to strike twice with GTA 6.

A year ago, a friend killed himself. He was my friend, he lived at my place after being kicked out by his dad. He had wanted to die since middle school, he had tried so many times i was barely shaken when learning he was at the hospital again. Then he left for the weekend and never came back. All i have now is blood on the train racks, a few pictures from parties and his clothes carefully placed in my wardrobe.
It's been a year. We had a lot of friends in common, and he was best friend with my boyfriend. Since he died, everyone wants to die. A friend became an alcoholic, she got raped while drunk, she's depressed and has attempted a few times. Another friend was already depressed, now she's falling back into drugs, ending up in the hospital multiple times. I've considered suicide so many times, I've walked up to the train racks and only stopped because I can't bare to make my parents suffer that. My boyfriend is absolutely crushed by his death, he's depressed, unable to keep a job, hasn't been able to feel happiness in a year, he doesn't cry but only has nightmares, he barely cares about the relationship and talks about suicide so often. I'm his biggest support so I had to keep my grieving on hold for a while but a year later it's getting worst.
I've grown a little resentful. He killed himself while hating the whole world i know it. He could have left in peace, that would be easier to grieve. But no, he left hurt, angry, loathing, crying, hating everything and everyone and himself.
I just want to let you know: people will care if you die. Even the ones you barely still talk to, or the one you got into fights with and cut off. Suicide kills you and others. Now I live on the edge, in fear of the next phone call, in fear of coming home to a dead body. I know I won't be able to grieve my boyfriend, i know I'll kill myself because it is just too hard, too much pain.
I understand my friend. He had been in pain for so long. I asked him if he had ever felt happy he was alive after an attempt and he answered no. I know he wanted it, we all knew it would happen someday. And still no one could be ready for the pain and horror of his death.
I don't know what else to say. Even if you think you don't matter, yes you do. Even the people you think hate you, they'll be impacted. Everyone cares, and everyone will die. I'm only lucky everyone has failed through the year because i can't do this again.

Larry

”You must really hate me. But guess what? You're stuck with me! I plan to be around long after you're gone! And if you turn, I'll be the one to put the axe through your skull!”

Larry is the father of Lilly and one of the first survivors that Lee meets in Telltale’s The Walking Dead Season 1. He is the embodiment of that one relative you have as he always goes on rants and does basically nothing but cause problems for everyone else. Despite his age and constant heart issues, he is surprisingly decent when it comes to throwing out a punch.
Strength

• Knocks Kenny to the ground with one punch.
• Punches Lee in the face, which knocks him to the ground for about 10 seconds and requires Kenny to save him.
• With help from Mark, carries a sofa out of a motel room.
• Swings an axe so hard that it gets stuck in the back part of a truck. He then pulls it out off-screen.
• Kills a walker by hitting it in the head with an axe, without hitting Lee who is underneath the walker.

Durability

• Takes a punch to the face from Kenny, but is still standing and is able to counterattack.
• [Low-showing] Due to his age and health, Larry is prone to heart attacks when he exerts a lot of energy, whether it be to him getting mad or banging on a door for a long time.
• [Limit] While having a heart attack, has his head smashed in with a salt lick to prevent possibly reanimating as a walker. He dies from this.

Other

• Larry is described by Kenny as being 6’4” and 300 lbs.
  • Had Larry turned into a walker while in the meat locker, it’s implied that the combined efforts of Lee, Kenny, and Lilly would not have been able to kill him without one of them getting bitten/killed.
• Hates when people waste things, used extreme measures on Lilly as a kid to counter this.
• May or may not be racist.
• Has charm coming out of his ass.

Hi…I’m having the worst time coming to a decision about the future of this relationship. I really love my boyfriend, but we’ve been going through a really rough patch, the first of our relationship. We never fight, we have great communication skills and we’re honest and loving with one another. However, 2023 has been hard.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years and have been discussing moving in together over the last 6 months. I hate the city that we currently live in and decided on a new place to move to.
Also for context, my boyfriend is a bit of a job hopper. I met him unemployed and it did not bother me at the time as our finances were separate. He has never asked me for money or favors, and I have never felt leeched off of, even though he has gone through several bouts of unemployment/employment.
Anyways, in regards to moving, my lease ends in April. He agreed to break his lease and/or find someone to sublease his room in his apartment since his ends later on in the year. However recently my partner had a really bad day at work that causes him to quit on the spot. I knew this job was not the best on him mentally and I really tried to support his decision, but it sort of left me holding the bag financially for the move that was supposed to happen in April. I let him know that I wished he had lined something up (since I knew he hated his job for months) or had planned with me before hand so that we could really figure out things together. He let me know that it would be ok and that he would find a job immediately. He also was disappointed to hear me set a hard boundary as I told him I did not want to take care of both of us financially in moving together. I understand where he’s coming from and why that hurts, but I’m nervous that that kind of financial dependence could change the dynamics of our relationship for the worst.
It is April now and he has not found a job. At this point, the move is up in the air. I am currently making plans to move in temporarily at his place with him while he continues to look. It’s less than ideal, but I really want to make things work and I know the job hunt has been hard. He says as soon as he finds something we can move. But I haven’t heard him even mention going on an interview. And to my surprise, he said he hadn’t even contacted the leasing office about “potentially” breaking his lease. These things have made it hard to trust him and hope things will get better. I feel like because of his decisions, I am also now in this weird limbo where we can’t move on to the next chapter.
Again, I feel really emotionally fulfilled in our relationship but the logistics of this move and his rocky financial situation make me really unsure about our future together.
TLDR; my job hopping boyfriend quit his job and it derailed our moving plans.
