Vice City

Doom scrolling social media appears to have changed the age-old pasttime of watching TV in GTA 6, which has prompted emotions of alternating despair and rising irrelevance in me this morning. I barely perceive how TikTok works in real-life, not to mention a online game pastiche of it, and oh god, how did I get so outdated and craggy? I am simply right here for the nice-looking flamingos, Rockstar, not a 24/7 twerk stream I can entry from the palm of my hand. After all, TV watching might but have been preserved past what we have seen thus far within the first trailer for GTA 6, however even when it has been consigned to the bin of recent historical past, there would possibly but be one gentle within the TikTok-esque darkness to make GTA 6’s in-Recreation social media community worthwhile.

Upon nearer inspection of the account names seen within the trailer, it is “PlanetLeonidaMan” that provides me hope, as a result of if this is not a riff on the Florida Man meme, I am going to take a dump on a useless possum throughout rush hour visitors, hurl Oreos at Matthew as we argue over our empty espresso maker (teapot, come on), and attempt to cross the Atlantic in a hamster wheel vessel to demand some solutions.
