Pfft...Like y'all don't know what to do with GTA VI.

Rockstar have been pieces of shit for decades. Didn't change anything then, and unfortunately, it probably won't now.

Roll it up with gunpowder, stick it in my ears, and light it on fire?

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

light my beard on fire?

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Play it so much that you don't notice your crew set your beard on fire and left without you?

look up the life and times of Edward Teach.

Huh, I assumed that photo was just AI nonsense. But from the Wikipedia article:

He was reported to have tied lit fuses (slow matches) under his hat to frighten his enemies.

Don’t play it?

Like y’all don’t know what to do with GTA VI.

Wait 2 goddamn extra years or however long until they release it for PC.

The good news is by then I can easily justify upgrading my PC too. Right now it's hard to justify upgrading from my RTX 3060 Ti, but by 2027 or 2028 when the PC version comes out, I'm sure that there's something enticing available from all 3 GPU manufacturers (yay, we almost have competition now) and I can get the hell off Nvidia again finally.

yay, we almost have competition now

Hold your horses, Intel is going through some stuff, and I hope the GPU division survives.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

Ugh I hope if it doesn't they'll at least sell it off to someone who can realistically keep it running. Though I have no idea who that would be at this point.

It's going to suck if we're back to the duopoly.

Pirate it? Yeah, I'll probably do that.
