I hope instead of banging hookers you have to do outreach and help get them off of the street and into a safe, healthy home. Later on you need to help her find gainful employment. And to quench the bloodthirsty individuals of the former non woke franchise, you get to rough her former pump up after you’ve called the cops of course.

And on the topic of social justice censorship the thing about comedy that makes edgey humor good is its equal opportunity shit stirring. Its inclusive. Everyone gets ragged on. VC had a talk radio show of a husband and wife radio team. One was liberal one was conservative. Mocked them both. Some jokes the red tie got it some jokes the blue tie got it. There were bits mocking italians, gays, jews, women, soccor moms, cops, rappers, country music it didnt matter. We all could laugh at one another. If you say X is off limits what you're really saying is X isnt part of the club. You single them out as a literal other and you make bringing people together impossible.
Its the oedipal mother running wild. |

Dont know where else to post this but my phone spies on me and the youtube algorithm picked up this conversation and it recommended this:
https://youtu.be/9EZGciae8aw Amazing video here. Some guy is remastering Simpsons hit and run and going as far as reanimating the cutscenes by hand in traditional animation. Its imperfect but crazy impressive. Hit and Run was always very underrated. I think it was slept on because of the licensing. Real shame. |

Was checking out the new saints row and it reminded me of this topic. Its exactly the toothless "comedy" im hoping GTA doesnt become. It has no edge whatsoever. None in its writing or missions. Its like twitter made a saints row game. It fails to be funny or interesting. Hopefully the folks at TakeTwo/Rock Star are much more talented. Hard to say since most the writing staff has moved on in the very nearly 10 years since making gta 5 but with the money TakeTwo has surely they can bring in some people to do at least a bit better than the objective failure that Saints Row clearly is.

My hope is that they see themselves as untouchable, the same way Trey Parker and Matt Stone do, and just dont give a fuck.

Also, yeah new saints row sounds awful. Very bland, lifeless world, in addition to a plethora of bugs.

Rockstar got hacked and over an hour of very early development GTA 6 footage was put out there along with source code.
I'd imagine it's a rough day for their IT security department. |

Eh. some employee on Slack. Given the craziness of Slack, my guess is this dude was most likely "let right in" via a Slackbot channel that acts as a doorkeeper for new users. problem is, this method will circumvent any SSO methods currently deployed. The proper method would be to set up a user account, grant access to Slack via a security group or role-based function, and then access it behind SSO.
This is part of my daily duties for an org with about 10k + employees. I get bitched at constantly. |

Now the REAL kick in the dick is the source code leak. Mainly, it will have to be re-built if they plan on continuing with Shark Cards, and they will. Otherwise, it can be reverse engineered in it's current state to just give infinite shark cards on-demand. That type of infrastructure is not built in a day, and has to be compliant on the customer-facing end to be allowed to take credit cards. For a machine to take credit card payments, it has to be compliant with PCI rules. It's a fucking mess.
That's the shittiest of the shitty. The EE who got wreck'd will also be let go...... that poor sod will be dragged through the mud 100 different ways. Hopefully, there's no legal recourse for what is presumably, a silly mistake. |

The hacker also fucked up by threatening, as I'm now reading. He has threatened to "spill more".
Now, beyond the passive-maliciousness, he is acting aggressive. That will net him an entirely new set of players in a different ballgame I don't think he wants to play. It's one thing to get creds by spoofing, or social engineering. A completely different ball game with the actual data scientists are set out on you and making custom shit to track/locate/break most things you try to do online. |

Gonna be a shitstorm for a while. Even before all of this most people were estimating late 2024/early 2025 before this game ever got released and if they now have to scrap and re-write source code it could be considerably longer.

Hacker is dumb as fuck if he keeps up with the threats though. This isn't some terrorist/hostage situation, this is a video game. It's not like he can extort them for millions.
Dude's gonna eventually get caught and end up in a legal maelstrom over a video game. |

lol, he's only asking for 5 figures for GTA V source code, and VI is not for sale right now.
Nonetheless, R* better start finding a way to patch their shit. |

Well, if the “Liberty City, it’s over!” thing from the Grand Theft Auto IV manual is anything to go by, they may never go back to LC, and going back to SA after Grand Theft Auto V was set there would just be silly. Also, I’m not even really sure how well received a game in the series that has bits of story in every location used since the PS2 era would even be. Just saying.

could have been epic and the largest geographical video game ever. they've been milking 5 for so long it could last the next few generations of consoles. then add London. bam

I kind of think fictionalized versions of different cities is the way to go moving forward. Yes, everyone who has played the games remembers London, LC, VC, SA and the world's of the portable titles fondly, but I’m curious how a fictional Detroit or Chicago, heck even Mexico City if they ever wanted to do a game set outside the USA again.

Would be funny if they DID do some space stuff and did it better than Starfield before it even releases.

Trailer got leaked ahead of tomorrow's scheduled release and instead of trying to take it down from those who leaked it, Rockstar ended up officially releasing it early.

Incels mad one of the protagonists is officially female because of course.
We will see if that many NPCs (and flamingos) end up being that dense but Rockstar typically what you see is what you get. I love all the Florida Man stuff. |

I wonder if there will still be radio stations or if it'll be Spotify stand in playlists/podcasts/Tiktok esque? Hoping for DJs...always so funny.
