@Thrillho i wish i was him right now

Certainly a sign of confidence if they’re lifting the review embargo a week before release.

This is coming up faster than expected, just hit chapter 17 on FF7, should have it finished in good time before TLOU2 arrives. This will be an interesting one for sure.

Anyone seen the news going around about Take-Two's marketing plans. Apparently they release info about how much they are going to budget to spend each year for the next few years and in fiscal 2024(April '23-March '24) the amount pretty much doubles. The last time they did this was for RDR 2. Looks like GTA VI may be planned for early 2024.

@BearsEatBeets
They're really taking their time on making it aren't they?

I can't wait to see Elon Musk throw a brick towards his rocket to show us its indestructibility right before it takes off.
Live 21.33 BST.

@andreoni79 Yep, looking forward to it!

Also worth keeping on eye on this twitter account for folks in the UK as you might get to see the shuttle in the sky.

I've been following the account and been out and seen the ISS pass over in the sky which is pretty cool.

Barf, Musk thinks he’s Tony Stark but he’s more like Mr Burns. It’ll be interesting to see if there’s a COVID-19 outbreak due to this since y’know he thinks it’s a hoax.

That's disappointing that they couldn't launch the rocket today due to weather. Saturday is the next potential day where they'll try to launch it.

Mission aborted because everybody's watching TLOU2!

@nessisonett wait he does? jesus christ what a moron.

I honestly for the life of me do not comprehend the cult of personality surrounding Elon Musk.

@mookysam Anybody who thinks that Hyperloop is a good idea is missing brain cells. Great idea, putting passengers in an enclosed capsule underground with zero space at all. That’ll be great until one breaks down and it’s a nightmare getting people out in time. Maybe he’ll call the rescuer ‘pedo guy’ as well.

@mookysam the guy can be a bit of a jerk but you don’t have to like everything about him to respect a lot of his obvious achievements.

Indeed. Don’t care about him at all but managing to build a space shuttle, and a reusable one at that, is pretty amazing and I am an absolute sucker for stuff like this.

@mookysam Nor me, but I don't really know who he is or get the general fawning over celebrities either. I feel no connection to these people whatesover, and I don't really want to.

@JohnnyShoulder he’s not a celebrity in the way Kim Kardashian is a celebrity though.. as @Thrillo said, look at his reusable rockets. They are mind blowing.

I don't know much about Musk, I know he's known to not be a nice person but I always think it's cool when a billionaire uses their fortune to move the world forward in some positive way rather than sitting on it like Scrooge until the day they die.
To have that sort of fortune to potentially inspire massive change and to do nothing with it is mind boggling to me, so many wasted opportunities to help the world.

Also, I totally agree with celebrity worship being weird and quite concerning. I feel it's taken us to a really problematic place, where our world leaders are being voted for, not due to their abilities, competence and integrity but because we recognise them and they said something funny on tv a couple of times.

At least Kim K is giving loads back with the Justice Project and stuff. I mean, actually training to be a lawyer takes more effort than most celebs end up doing. I think there are far worse wastes of space but everyone always jumps on Kim. Poor Kim.
