These tweets are just thoughts, very fleeting.. one second I could think one way and the next I’m completely off that.

J’ai la nette impression que beaucoup d’entre vous ne réalisent absolument pas à quel point vous risquez de détester GTA VI.
Pour vous la faire simple :
GTA 5 appartient à cette génération de jeux qui privilégiaient encore la simplicité à tout prix. Tu pouvais courir hyper longtemps, conduire comme un fou (et c’est ce qu’on aime), tirer partout en ville, atteindre cinq étoiles de recherche et, quelques minutes après avoir semé la police, reprendre tranquillement ta vie comme si rien ne s’était passé.
Tu mangeais quelque chose, tu récupérais de la santé. Tu volais une voiture, tu pouvais rouler indéfiniment. Tu n’avais pas d’argent ? Ça ne t’empêchait absolument pas de profiter du jeu.
Sauf qu’entre GTA V et GTA VI, Rockstar a développé le génial (que trop de gens maxent fort) Red Dead Redemption 2
Et Red Dead 2 représente une philosophie radicalement différente.
Tu manges trop ? Arthur grossit. Tu ne manges pas suffisamment ? Il maigrit et ses capacités en pâtissent. Tu négliges ton cheval ? Ses performances se dégradent. Tu commets un crime ? Les témoins peuvent te dénoncer, les autorités te rechercher et une prime peut rester sur ta tête même après leur avoir échappé.
Maintenant, imaginez cette philosophie transposée à GTA 6, avec potentiellement des véhicules qui consomment réellement du carburant, une musculature qui évolue avec les activités physiques, une endurance à entretenir, une alimentation qui influence les performances et une économie beaucoup plus contraignante.
Sans oublier un système policier potentiellement bien plus poussé, dans lequel semer les forces de l’ordre ne suffirait plus nécessairement à effacer les conséquences de tes crimes.
Ajoutez à ça les interactions avec les PNJ, les restrictions possibles sur les armes transportées, la gestion des ressources, les animations beaucoup plus détaillées et toutes ces petites contraintes qui rendent un monde crédible.
Alors okay toute ces mécaniques ne sont pas confirmées, mais la philosophie introduite avec RDR2 donne une idée de ce que Rockstar pourrait chercher à accomplir
Et c’est précisément là que beaucoup risquent de chouiner en mode « gneugneugneu c’est trop réaliste »
Vous attendez GTA VI comme un GTA V avec de meilleurs graphismes, une carte plus grande et davantage de possibilités.
Mais vous pourriez découvrir un jeu beaucoup plus exigeant, plus lent, plus réaliste et surtout beaucoup moins permissif. En fait vous allez avoir un Red Dead 2 contemporain.
Le plus con, c’est que ceux qui réclament depuis des années toujours plus de réalisme seront probablement les premiers à se plaindre lorsque ce réalisme commencera à leur imposer de véritables contraintes.
Parce qu’il ya une différence entre vouloir un jeu réaliste et accepter les conséquences de ce réalisme.
Personnellement, c’est exactement ce que j’attends de GTA VI (j’y jouerais l’an prochain après toutes les MAJs).
Mais je pense qu’une bonne partie du public n’est absolument pas préparée à ça.
So desperate for clicks that you’ve forgotten basic discretion? You did right by rejecting her, but exposing her name and private chat is just as wrong. Someone here could know you both. Not everything needs to become content.
She said I shouldn't think she's old just because she's married. She said she'll be 28 by next month. 😂

That’s a masterclass in wet-weather driving. Managing throttle application, braking points and traction while navigating a compromised racing line and near-zero visibility takes exceptional car control. Three consecutive poles in Brazil speak volumes about Norris’s adaptability,
Lando Norris averaged 110 mph around a racetrack in Brazil on Saturday while seeing about as much as you do sitting in a car wash, and nobody in the field went faster.
The camera that filmed this is about the size of a pencil eraser and weighs less than a penny. F1 builds it into the padding of the helmet right next to the driver's eye, so you're watching pretty much exactly what he saw.
And what he saw was almost nothing. A titanium bar runs straight down the middle of his view, rain is all over his visor, and the wall on his right is basically a gray blur. At that speed the next corner shows up before his eyes can tell him where it is, so he's driving most of the lap from memory, off the marker boards and the bump he felt through his seat the lap before.
The racing line you see on TV every weekend turns into a trap when it rains. All weekend the cars lay down a dark strip of rubber on the fastest line, and once it gets wet that strip is the slickest part of the whole track, because the rubber is smooth and the water just sits on top of it. So the quick way around is off the usual line, on pavement nobody's driven on all weekend. On Saturday there were actual streams of water running across the track.
This year's cars make it even scarier. Nearly half their power now comes from an electric motor, and electric motors give you all their torque the instant you touch the pedal. If you've ever floored a Tesla, you know the feeling. Do that coming out of a wet corner in an F1 car and the back end steps out before you can blink. Norris said afterward the whole thing came down to braking later and getting on the gas harder without locking up a wheel or spinning one.
The session got red-flagged two minutes in and sat for almost 90 minutes waiting for the storm to pass. When it finally restarted, Norris squeezed in a 1:27.470 right before the rain came back even harder. George Russell bailed on his next lap and said afterward it would have been pole.
On Friday, in the dry, Norris lapped this same track in 1:11.717, so the rain made it about 22% slower. Russell ended up 0.204 seconds behind him, which at Norris's speed is about 33 feet, or two parked cars, over 2.7 miles of track he could barely see.
That's his third straight pole in Brazil. He even admitted McLaren doesn't have the speed to beat the cars behind him when it's dry, so the first thing he said after the session was basically a prayer for the forecast. "I need it to stay raining all night."
Chaii 🤦
I’ve been in Nigeria for six days now, and I can already see how wonderful it is. It gives me such peace of mind, and I feel happy every single moment I’m here. Things are not nearly as bad or as dangerous as they are often portrayed. You can easily manage your expenses and keep costs down. Electricity is still being improved, and road development is actively ongoing. I honestly believe we are still in a better situation than many other countries. Most importantly, the peace of mind you get in Nigeria simply cannot be compared to what you find in the Western world.🇳🇬❤️

Bringing it on the internet for what?

There is no guaranteed reward for suffering. You can spend your entire life enduring hardship, sacrificing your happiness and struggling to survive, only to reach the end of your life with nothing to show for it. Suffering does not automatically make you stronger, wealthier or more successful. Sometimes, you simply suffer until you die.

Stupid people play fair in a game that has always been rigged. Don’t fool yourself with rights and wrongs; there are none. Society made rules to protect itself, and we’ve been trained to obey them. If a butterfly and a bug land on your leaf, you’ll kill the bug, not the butterfly, though both are insects. Rules, norms, and laws were created by the strong to control the weak. Never follow, and never play fair.

You can legally load your whole family into a single-engine plane and fly them over the ocean with about 40 hours of flying lessons. That's roughly one work week.
Once you have the license, the FAA asks you to go up with an instructor once every two years. Airline pilots need 1,500 hours just to get hired, and they're back in a simulator getting tested every single year.
You can see what that does in the crash data. Personal flights, meaning weekend trips and family vacations, had 21.1 fatal accidents per million flight hours between 2012 and 2021. Student pilots on training flights, mostly in the same kind of small planes, had 2.3. So the people still learning to fly crash about 9 times less often than the people who already passed.
Compared to your car, personal flying in a small plane comes out about 27 times deadlier per hour. Worse than a motorcycle.
When investigators go through the wreckage, about 69% of the time they pin the crash on the pilot. Mechanical problems caused 7% of the deadly ones in 2021. Even an engine quitting, which is what everybody pictures, killed people in 6 of 57 cases that year.
The biggest killer is flying into bad weather, and it comes down to your inner ear.
There's fluid in there that sloshes around when you turn, and that's how your brain knows you're tilting. Hold a gentle turn for about 15 seconds and the fluid settles down, so your brain decides you're flying straight again. When you can see the horizon you catch it right away. Inside a cloud there's nothing to look at, so the plane keeps tipping, the nose drops, the speed climbs, and your body keeps telling you everything's fine.
Back in 1954, the University of Illinois put 20 pilots with zero instrument training into simulated clouds. Every one of them lost control of the plane. It took 178 seconds on average, a little under three minutes.
Pilots still end up in clouds they were never trained for, and more than 75% of those crashes kill someone. No weather accident in small planes is deadlier.
Small-plane people have joked about this since the 1950s. The Beechcraft Bonanza was one of the fastest single-engine planes you could buy, and so many wealthy doctors bought one and crashed it that people started calling it the "doctor killer." When people finally ran the numbers, the Bonanza crashed about as often as any other small plane. It just had a lot of rich owners with more money than flight time.
Look at the back of that cabin. One teenager's asleep under a plaid blanket and the other one's buried in a book. The biggest safety feature on that flight is the judgment of whoever's sitting up front.
