By now I’m sure everyone has heard about the hacker “Cyberleek” leaking Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) content; but if you haven't here's the timeline.  On August 18th (my momma’s birthday!) Cyberleek released video footage of gameplay (the protagonist playing basketball and driving a car) and a picture of the full map of GTA 6. On their website there was a manifesto that had 3 demands of Rockstar Games:

 

1. “Thou shall not sell digital preorders.  No consumer shall pay for a game through digital storefronts before release and independent review. Physical preorders for tangible media remain permitted”
2. “Thou shall not sell fake single-player DLC. No publisher shall sell access to single player content already present in the base game files the consumer purchased” Basically, don't lock content behind a paywall.
3. “Thou shalt preserve single-player content. Any game featuring single-player content must include an offline fallback state. When server support ends the publisher must release a final patch that unlocks all single-player content for local, indefinite play”. No shutting down the servers, offline play should be available since we purchased the WHOLE game! 

Then, on Aug 19 they uploaded gameplay of someone using a taser and a few seconds of a cutscene. Then again, some knife combat.

On August 20th, they released plane gameplay as well as the protagonist shooting the word “LEEK” into a wall.

And on August 21 there was a video showing supercar gameplay.

 There were reports of the hacker having a “dead man’s switch” so if he was caught it would release the entire game (tho--that image has been shown to be fake) 

If this is real and the hacker does have the entire game and releases it, I don't feel bad in the least. These leaks are coming after

The Thought of "Qualified Immunity" Should Loudly and Abruptly Go Away.

Qualified immunity is not law. And the thought of qualified immunity for law enforcement and other people who seemingly don’t know how to wield power should go away. Especially now.

More and more in today’s society people who have jobs that require them to handle some tiny bit of power seem not to know how to use it and and they violate people’s rights on a continuous basis.

Qualified Immunity was some “judicially created legal doctrine” that Supreme Court made up. But, The Supreme Court is not a governing body that makes laws--nor was it designed to be. So technically, rules that they create should not be considered as any type of law-- which they sometimes

Diamondnzeruff Game Review: Crimson Desert--The Love is There!

The love I have for Crimson Desert knows no bounds!

If you want a game that makes you forget time exists, look no further than Crimson Desert! I’ve been playing this game for a few months now and I’m only about 160 hours in--but I’ve fallen absolutely in love with it. The first week it came out I hated that I had a job and in THIS economy that's literally insane. I’d start playing at 10 am, play for what I swear was 30 minutes; and then look up and it's 8 pm!

I’ll start with the beauty of the game. It’s so beautiful and smooth, the characters are beautiful (I love you Kliff) , the bosses are terrifyingly gorgeous, the TERRAIN makes you feel like you’re really there, be it swimming, flying or running. I feel like I’m actually IN the game!

The gameplay is outstanding. One minute you’re doing your daily’s, cooking your meals and decorating your house; the next minute you’re attacking

I was checking out my Substack today and ran across this quick post about some of the things Senator Warnock is doing in congress. Apparently some people have a problem with it. Why? I don't know.

Some good news.

In my opinion, stopping equity firms from buying up regular (single-family) homes is the exact thing to do.  Do you realize the importance of this?  Imagine the hundreds of thousands of homes that can be on the market for regular people to buy—instead of corralled in some corporation or equity firm stockpile of property; wasting away just to

We are in the short rows of 2026. It’s August; four months to go and then we are there.  There’s still a lot left to do in the year though.  Christmas, Thanksgiving… oh, and voting.  Don’t forget to VOTE.

You also still have time to make progress towards your goals—if you haven’t started. This  might be a great time to stop and take inventory--what can you
