  • This was intentional. Micah is antagonistic towards you from the get-go, Dutch begins to turn on you while you start to agree with Arthur (Dutch sounds less reasonable etc) . By the time you get to the island you are meant to be frustrated, tired from trying to “just finish the damn game” and you’re stranded with the 4 people you (the player) like the least - right after at least 2 of them bungled the heist in Saint Denis that got you in this mess. All the levels are just shooting gallery type beats to vent your frustration. There was a video on YouTube about emotional manipulation of the player that was a great write-up about this phenomena in RDR2, and why the ending mission American Venom feels so cathartic.

    Edit: I actually found it! “Should Games Be Frustrating”. The first 8-9 minutes are largely Red Dead 2 and trails.off with that theme of using frustration to funnel player emotion, so I dont think you need to watch the whole thing.










  • Sort of yes, you can wager an event will happen and, because this is real life you can absolutely be the decider that something does or does not happen. The whole “sex toys at the WNBA” had 2 cases where the person who threw the toy was also in the pool for it to happen. The platform refused to pay out for these as far as I know, but these people were also arrested and verified and such. I don’t know what happens if you wager on a severe crime like an assassination, and don’t get caught - but if it’s a guarantee to get a visit from at least one of the three letter agencies if you opened that betting pool.








  • I rev mine (lightly) because my v8 is cold and experiencing morning sickness with fluids - dont have the time to let it idle before leaving in the am.

    I do not want to race you through this light, I do not want to turn first into a new neutral, i do not want to run my rpm so high on freezing cold fluids, but I will absolutely gap your soccervan if you want me to I guess because I will not sit behind your ass as you drive 10 under and then come to a fucking stop to turn into a parking lot in 2 blocks for the school.
