Just give me all the 3ggs_n_b4con you have.

Wait...wait.

I worry what you just heard was...
"Give me a lot of b4con_n_3ggs."

What I said was...
"Give me all the 3ggs_n_b4con you have"

...Do you understand?

My first horse was Mr Wiggles, I named the white Arabian from the mountains the Tahitian word for Lightning.

Edit: on my next play through it will all be aspirational goals in Tahitian, like Good Health and Fortune.

In online my character is based on Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation - more accurately, his great grandfather, Roland Swanson.

As such, all of the horse names are based on Lil' Sebastian. I've had Slow Sebastian, Skinny Sebastian, Stinky Sebastian, etc.

I don't even remember what I named my other horse, I never use it. Ardennes forever - you will not knock me out of first place in races once I get there unless you shoot me. Those horses have great stamina and are tough as hell.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Online complaint: The game keeps deleting at least one of my saved outfits at random (possibly related to changing outfits not working nine out of ten times I try to get my clothes off my horse), and now my hot weather clothes are being treated as cold weather for environmental core damage. So unless I stay in Strawberry or the mountains, I am constantly being drained, regardless of what I wear.

Also, my posse has 0/0 members and I have to contact customer support to get it fixed and blech.

Do any of your custom outfits have pieces from the preset ones? If you make a custom with pieces from the presets, it will delete the custom one when you log off.
For example, if you load the grizzlies outlaw in the wardrobe, keep the hat, change the rest, and save it as a custom, it'll delete the outfit when you log out.

This'll happen with outfits you build yourself, too. This happens to every time the daily is change your belt buckle. Just gotta make sure you go to your outfits slot at a wardrobe and delete the custom outfit and re-equip the original saved one. I think that's how it goes, anyway. It's a really dumb problem to have :haw:

So is there a strategy to getting the four hideouts in one day buckle? I checked every hideout in the game hoping for spawns and did seven as fast as i could find them but never made it above three on the buckle's counter.

As near as I can tell it's pure dumb luck. Allegedly if you have something valuable on your horse, set an auto travel destination in the vicinity of a hideout, riding out to that spot in cinematic mode with the map up will force it to spawn.

As I understand it: each hideout has general times of day when it may spawn. (Map.) Hideouts don't usually spawn right when you get there, or when you're looking at them. Just stop a ways off and face away, or go into the map, or hunt a little nearby them, and they will pop up pretty soon if it's the right time of day. To avoid interference from other players, join to one part of the map then ride or fast travel to a distant part of the map, because when you join a session the game tries to match you with players in the same area. So, like, join up in Lemoyne then wander off to New Austin.

I'm fairly certain the only one you're FORCED to do is the one with Downes for fairly obvious reasons. All others are optional, including the forgiveness ones.

I like how the games get across the theme that the "honorable outlaw" ideal is an inherently dumb concept. You kinda just ruin lives by existing.

I think you have to do at least one other to get the Downes mission to trigger.

Fun fact, if you avoid doing the initial Downes call, Strauss eventually calls you out on it and auto-puts you in the mission.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

My current theory about RDR3 is that it will take place before RDR2, maybe during the first years of Dutch's gang when Arthur and John were first roped in as kids. It really does feel like the meta-narrative is more about Dutch himself being a mirror for the loss of the frontier, and we've already seen its end and decline with RDR1 and RDR2, respectively. I'm thinking it only makes sense for the next game to truly take place during the full, untamed heydey of the west when the gang was really living in the full-on Jesse James Gang salad days.

I think Rockstar has said all that they need to say with Dutch's gang. If a 3rd game comes out, I'd like some different territories with a completely new cast.

Even though we half saw it in RD1, I'm kind of hoping it has you riding with Pancho Villa. Let them show what happens when you get enough outlaws together, you can take down forts and cities, maintain a travelling camp with ammunition wagons and the rest. You can show them getting stronger and stronger, then have a crisis when you go against machineguns and barbed wire, reducing your numbers to a much smaller group, as you escape encirclement after encirclement.

It's going to be wall-to-wall Traders on PS4. Free to unlock, go hunting for a living, and you get a :dukedog: to guard your camp. I wonder what "serving time" will be like for players who get taken alive by Bounty Hunters. Do they go to Sisika and do a series of menial chores to unlock freedom?

I got all the GTAO playing cards so I'm going with Collector. I'm tired of dismounting to pick herbs, and I want to see how ridiculous the metal detector is.
