Yes, but the open world has to exist in the game as a meaningful set of gameplay systems/potentialities.

There have to actually be things that could challenge you, cost you, reward you, capture your attention, present you with a secret if investigated, set off an actually meaningful chain of events, etc.

If ‘open world’ is implemented as simply ‘big space with occasional trash mobs wholly disconnected from the rest of the game’… you have a very shitty implementation of an open world.

Open world doesn’t, or I guess shouldn’t simply mean ‘big empty space’.

If your game has a fast travel option that you regularly or often use to skip the open world, your open world sucks.

Call you bank/credit card provider, get a human being on the other end, and calmly tell them any further payments to Xfinity are unauthorized/fraud.

Can confirm, have been hotfixed.

… can’t say I noticed anything in particular was amiss, but did get big ole hotfix this morning.

It is presumably possible these folks are Creole and thus do actually have some Cree or Choctaw or Chickasaw or Cherokee, etc, ancestry, something like that.

Good troll, good boy.

See?

Laws are just made up too, just like money.

Hahahaahhah!

Wait untill you hear about a ‘political pundit’.

Rumor/reporting evidently is that it was carrying CIA Director John Ratcliffe and his motorcade.

Trump’s ego must be sated.

That’s what there is to ‘gain’.

He’s just literally a raving demented lunatic, a sundowning narcissist. A real life cariacature of a mad king, a comic book supervillain.

Ok, because it annoyed me that this isn’t in the post itself:

There is an unoffical Arch package.

There is a Flatpak.

There are detailed setup instructions, probably you should follow them.

But anyway this seems very neat and good!

He has a poli sci degree from Harvard.

More than once he’s retorted to someone or another on Twitter (back in the day) to explain that yes actually, he knows what himself and the songs he plays and writes are talking about.

Tom Morello has entered the chat

Yes, one would hope, lol.

I’ve been in charge of my own db and auth systems.

I had to turn the previous uh, ‘hope’, into code.

For a pretty large organization, hahahaha!

… can you do zalgo text / diacritic fuckery with a password?

Does your enterprise auth system and database support correctly storing zalgo text, lol?

Either that or my password just is an escaped SQL injection string.

Didn’t say who had to be the one with the tragic backstory.

You are not the only one… I wouldn’t be surprised, Rockstar is completely shameless.

… then see my original point.

Go anywhere other than Best Buy.

Obligatory FUCK SPEZ

RIP Aaron.

To the best of my knowledge, the build itself has not been posted anywhere.

However its not like i know or frequent every existing darknet site or clearnet spot people like this might be on.

The videos that are being ‘leaked’ appear to only be possible to… produce, if one has an actual build of the game.

So, somebody has it, they have yet to share it.

Given that they keep promoting crypto, my bet would be if they do ‘release’ it, it’ll be in exchange for some kind of crypto payment.

Which means you have literally no guarantee you’re not being scammed, and given the we’ve already seen many AI gen fake videos claiming to be ‘legit’ vids from this build out in the wild… if the group that has the build says ‘pay me crypto for link’, copycat scammers will follow.

Edit:

Fuck, honestly?

I would not put it past Rockstar for this to all be an ARG style marketing stunt.

Price transparency != Marketing strategy.

If you own hardware that voids its own warranty when you open it up, you don’t own that hardware.

Same with cars.

Same with anything.
