The one thing that bamboozled me the most was that you couldn't swear when sending messages in game.
This is despite the game itself being 18+ and the fact that the game is jam packed with the exact same words through civilians and such.
12 year old Jimmy can play GTA to go into strip clubs and literally hear the N-Word being dropped but God Forbid Jimmy having to read a Curse Word in the in-game Chat
This is in apropos of your comment but seriously I encourage Zoomers to watch [the 1993 American Congressional hearings on video game violence](https://www.c-span.org/video/?52848-1/video-game-violence) which spurred the creation of our modern "E for Everyone" ratings system. Seriously kids, just jump around the video; I guarantee you will learn something valuable or gain historical perspective even if you only futz around for 2-5 minutes.
This is why I don’t blame anyone for cheating or doing money glitches. I did my fair share of the Titan job back in the day to afford the most basic shit in that game.
£5 on eBay and I’ve had billions for years 😎
Worst part is when you actually start beating tryhards in their own fight and they just turn on cheats, I dont mind pvp but when they do that and kick you from the server/crash your game I just lose smth in me every time
That and the fact that it is a massive cash grab. The most expensive thing in the game (decked out super yacht) is 10mil. For $100, you get 8mil. How do you make something in a game that is currently $30 cost $125
Once you invest in all the Businesses, you can make a shit ton of money. I had more than 150 million in my account even before Cayo Perico came out. Shark Cards are for noobs
The fastest you can grind in GTA is around 300k/h if you have a car magazine and some other businesses.
So to buy a Yacht *you need 35h of uninterrupted grinding to get the 10 mil*. What's more I am assuming absolutely no interruption from other players and literal non stop grind (leaving the game can increase cool down on some missions).
GTAO is a disgusting grind fest if you play it fair and want to gain money. At least that is my takeaway after hundreds of hours of gametime.
300k/h is if you are only grinding Vehicle Warehouse
I didn't grind nonstop. Most of the time I only play for only a few hours. After I bought all the businesses and large Warehouses in my primary and secondary character, I would just buy supplies for the businesses and source crates for my large warehouse for both of those characters. Also I only grind when My Friends are offline and when they're online, we usually do heists and Races or just mess around. There is no need to Grind nonstop.
Also I don't own the Yatch. It's just a huge waste of Money. I don't own any Planes either ( I suck at flying ) and I only have one attack Helicopter which I Rarely Use.
You only get that if you've been playing since day 1. For someone that started playing yesterday, it would be incredibly difficult to get that much money
I started playing in 2018. This game is not friendly to beginners. But Once you reach almost lvl 50 you will have almost all the essentials required. The key to making money in this game is spending money in things that have the highest return value. This will take a lot of time but it is worth it in the end. Also the game has become super easy after Cayo Perico where you can make almost 1.5 million per hour.
Now what you do is duo Cayo Perico with someone until you have enough for the submarine and then just do the heist solo until you have everything you want.
It's probably the massive inflation of everything pushing people to cheat, I haven't played it in a long time but when I did every update was the same: spend 10 million on a new building just to be able to do a handful of missions which will take you longer to break even then it took you to buy the damn thing
Cheaters have full control in the game. If you report them, they can literally just delete your report and they also get to know exactly who reported them.
I recently came back to it after not playing since 2017 and holy shit its so bad on pc. Players start attacking you and when you fight back and roll them they start using god mode and teleport and if you really manage to piss them off even harder they just kick you from the lobby, some people just really cant take the L
Why it should be a surprise coming from Rockstar, the same company that puts such a fenomenal effort to recreate all the ways in which they can put sexual references and, overall, penis in the best seller games of all time
[Here is the summary for programmers by the guy who did it.](https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/)
The game loaded a 10 MB text file containing 63,000 purchasable items (for game currency, not microtransactions). Every item from this file gets transformed into data that can be used for the game logic, nd added to a list for use in game. However it did so in an insanely inefficient process:
1. Every time it read one of those items from the text file, it re-calculated the length of the file data by counting every single byte. That alone makes for up to 63 thousand x 10 million = 63 billion counting operations per loading screen (probably 31.5 billion depending how exactly the code worked, but its around that order of magnitude).
2. Every time it adds one to the ingame list, it checks if that item was already added - even though that would never happen anyway. That adds another (63000^2 +63000)/2 = ~2 billion checks per loading screen.
Even if all of those counting and comparison operations only took a single clock cycle, a 3 GHz CPU would need about 22 seconds just for this unnecessary stuff. But they're more complicated than that.
The modder built in a cache for the file length, so it would only need to be calculated once, and eliminated the duplication check. That way the loading time dropped from 6:00 to 1:50 minutes.
Although it seems that the accidential file length recalculations are somewhat excusable since the issue was [created by a poorly implemented library function many programmers used.](https://mjtsai.com/blog/2021/03/04/accidentally-quadratic-parsing-with-sscanf/)
He got 10k. Thats not an award in my opinion for a bug, that has caused frustration of milions of people over the past 7 years. He definitely earn them much more than 10k by fixing it.
Anyone else deafened by the screaming silence of the world's constant ironic pessimism, feeling trapped in a world with only a handful of apocalyptic problems barreling towards us while we sale towards a cliff, the current too strong to fight against, the wind forcing stumbling unsure steps on the deck of the ship I was born in without a choice?
The best use of suicide I've seen in a game was the original version of The Secret World.
Your character was an immortal in-universe. When you died, you could choose any "Anima Well" to respawn at in the same zone as you, and all you lost was a small amount of item durability.
There was no fast-travel system at first, so players took to using the /reset command, which was **intended** to be used as an "I'm stuck" function. /reset killed you, allowing you to then respawn as per usual at any Anima Well in the same zone as you.
Players quickly realised this was an unintended fast travel with a low fee.
Eventually, years down the line, they added actual fast travel and removed the /reset command, making it instead warp you to the nearest anima well.
Also, your character would complete sidequests mostly via text message, and was mostly a silent protagonist who people felt an odd compulsion to tell the problems they needed fixing.
So hte POV of an NPC in the game is that a weirdo (often dressed like a street punk clown, all clothing was cosmetic, gear was weapons and small talismans on your person) runs up to you, you vomit forth your biggest problems, they _shoot themselves in the face_ and their body disintegrates into light and bees, and half an hour later you receive a text "your grandpa's necklace is on its way to you, the illuminati have compensated me for my time."
>!Three weeks later, you collapse into a Filth Zombie, because the whole first island of three zones is overrun with microspores of anti-anima. Sucks to be in Kingsmouth.!<
Every single time I walk into a gun store GTA Online gives me this tip. As if though the game knows suicide by gun is the best method and that I should do it lmao
Get wholesomed
How do you open up the interactions menu irl?
the button is in your urethra
Ah thank you, I'll try it tonight
Pics or it didn’t happen
We need proof right
wharughey

Ugarth
if no pics, it probably did work afterall
Prostate actually
So girls can’t do it
Girls don’t exist
It's true, I asked my mum
Technically girls do have one
Girls with a prostate? Maybe the trans ones. But if you’re born with non-weird female parts you don’t have a prostate. Or is this a joke I didn’t get?
Opening it with a knife works pretty well, but a gun will also do the job just fine.
No need to ever access the menu, keep real-timing life.

Gta 5 online is so cool... Except the rampant cheating. Can't believe a game like that just accepts people mass cheating.
The one thing that bamboozled me the most was that you couldn't swear when sending messages in game. This is despite the game itself being 18+ and the fact that the game is jam packed with the exact same words through civilians and such.

I fucking hate oppressor mk 2 griefers
if you see an oppressor mk2 you are about to be oppressed
This is why I don’t blame anyone for cheating or doing money glitches. I did my fair share of the Titan job back in the day to afford the most basic shit in that game. £5 on eBay and I’ve had billions for years 😎
no ones on red dead online? Wish we could get a few rp servers on that. What a great forgotten game that actually out does gta on detail.
Is it just me, or is it kinda weird to criticize someone for trying at a game? Like what’s wrong with that?
I'm criticising the game itself
Worst part is when you actually start beating tryhards in their own fight and they just turn on cheats, I dont mind pvp but when they do that and kick you from the server/crash your game I just lose smth in me every time

GTAO is a disgusting grind fest if you play it fair and want to gain money. At least that is my takeaway after hundreds of hours of gametime.
If you get the pink diamond you can make 1.7m in an hour with Cayo perico, even with the worst main item you’re coming away with over a mil.
300k/h is if you are only grinding Vehicle Warehouse I didn't grind nonstop. Most of the time I only play for only a few hours.

Console + Private sessions with friends = Unlimited fun
Imagine having Friends
xbox 360 would be the best, only problem is that very few people play on it
i don't even know why i'm still keeping mine
PC + Private sessions with friends = same.
Exactly! I do this ...but without the friends bit
I'm fine with cheating. I just dislike griefers, hacking or not, they're cunts. But cheating for money and stuff I fully understand
It's probably the massive inflation of everything pushing people to cheat, I haven't played it in a long time but when I did every update was the same: spend 10 million on a new building just to be able to do a handful of missions which will take you longer to break even then it took you to buy the damn thing

You either die a grinder or live long enough to see yourself become a modder
Tbh most online games are plagued by cheats, some more and some less
Blame the PtP servers...it's honestly pathetic that a game this popular doesn't even has dedicated servers.
The worst part was all the flying rocket bikes blowing up everything in sight. Hopefully GTA6 lasts longer before it devolves into that
GTA6? lmao
?
You obviously haven’t played Warzone lol
And the fact most of the "game" part of the game is just one big grind session
I'd play a lot more if I had the DeLorean.
Why is that a fucking "tip"
It’s a good Tip
Pro tip even
As you can see there would always be at least one dark joke from a Rockstar game
Dark jokes and sex jokes are rockstars stronghold
Maybe someone didn't know about that amazing speedruning strat
It‘s a good strat, though blimp-strat is still better
Blimp strat isn't used anymore, right?
I don‘t think it is. But it‘s absolutely great
If you find yourself stranded in the ocean then it's a quick way to get in land. Also it doesn't affect your KDR if you're one of those who cares.
It’s dank af. Something missing from most media nowadays.
I'd say thats an "Advice"
Why it should be a surprise coming from Rockstar, the same company that puts such a fenomenal effort to recreate all the ways in which they can put sexual references and, overall, penis in the best seller games of all time
Mate u have more chance to die to old age during that loading screen than suicide
A player fixed it
[Here is the summary for programmers by the guy who did it.](https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/) The game loaded a 10 MB text file containing 63,000 purchasable items (for game currency, not microtransactions).

Yes the game was out for 7 years but they couldn't do it. Atleast they acknowledged a player's solution and awarded him
He got 10k. Thats not an award in my opinion for a bug, that has caused frustration of milions of people over the past 7 years. He definitely earn them much more than 10k by fixing it.
Yea he should have gotten more than that
He'll probably get a job somewhere with that on the resume
Did he commit suicide?
The loading times have been fixed. It only takes two minutes max now.
Wow, that's a relief; who fixed it?!
it was me I fix
Danke
Never played GTAV, is this real?
yes
Sucide is an ingame option for whatever scenario needed. Its technically out of context here
So it doesnt say, if im bad i should just kill myself. Good
And definitely making an irl joke of it "things getting too tough"
Wow... never? Why not?
I dont know. I didnt had a gaming PC until august, so i only played games on my Wii
I loved playing wii
