Welcome back ol' timer

I’m also gonna put my support in favour of ped skins. It does limit clothing options but the difference in body types and heights etc is something that I think everyone would value. Age too. Most folks spent long enough on SAMP wearing the same clothes every day, so that’s the compromise that would be needed. Obviously adding body type and height modifiers to the GTA online character would be ideal too, but I don’t know how doable that is.

Still waiting........! Send send send I need my hit of nostalgia.

This is me, in need of a hair cut:

I meant to respond properly to this earlier - thanks for taking the time to explain. I think that sounds really good. I suppose you'll have to see how it goes upon launch but it seems like a lot of this has already been thought out quite thoroughly!

I do remember this being a bit of an issue a couple of years ago; the fact that gun shot wounds were the main cause of hospital inpatients was probably a bit boring and repetitive for the FD staff as well. I think back then, the FD member would essentially PM the player to ask if they wanted a more in-depth or expedited RP experience - this wasn't just for GSWs, it was more of a courtesy because of RL time constraints like people needing to go eat and so on. A realistic process often took upwards of an hour, after all. Would be keen to hear FD's thoughts on how this sort of thing would be handled for sure.

Hello! I like the direction you're taking this in tbf, it's reminiscent of how it was a couple of years ago as you say. Also fully, one hundred percent agree that there has to be a balance between making things fun and realistic - I don't think anyone should expect actual trained medical professionals, but I know the old guides were thorough enough to provide a realistic enough experience for everyone. I think, as with most things, it's best just to see how things go and be flexible too. Agree as well on having events, and encouraging "regular checkups" perhaps like a GP surgery should provide enough RP. Perhaps even a guide on common ailments, showing people that they can easily roleplay having "something" then coming along, getting diagnosed and receiving treatment of some kind? Just thinking out loud here. Regardless, best of luck with everything, looking forward to seeing y'all in game 😉

Title says it all. Mine's a vodka and diet coke unless i'm feeling classy, then it's wine. Or martini. If I'm on holiday then it's a San Miguel.

Ok I think this is my favourite one yet - love the bluetooth pairing, spatial audio and the fact that there can be multiple audio sources. I wonder if we'll get player-ran XM stations like there were a few years back? Love this so hard.

I stan this, I like how neat everything looks. Goodbye using text commands for literally everything!

This is looking great. Is there a bleed out timer for people where they can be recovered, before progressing to fully dead? All I remember is the /acceptdeath command. In fact, how is death in general being handled this time around?

I like the idea of the tiered faction system and with some clearer boundaries/goals for them to aim for. Never really interacted much with the weapons or drugs systems on old LSRP so can't comment on that except that it looks good to me. Might need to create a shady character just to give everything a go.

Greetings and welcome back! It's mad isn't it how so many people have grown up and have responsibilities but still have interest in LSRP. Personally I don't know if I did grow up 😉 What did you RP as back in the day?

I'm the kind of person who hates silence when I'm at home, and I've been working from home for ages now. Even when in the office, I prefer to put my headphones on and drown out the chaos. There are lots of options for music which help you concentrate, I'm signed up to Brain FM for instance which has a selection of all kinds of ambient music. The "Focus" channel is particularly good. It's all a bit weird if you're not used to it, but I find it does help me stay focused rather than listening to songs from de club. If you're working or studying, what to do you listen to? Are you the kind of person who still plays the normal music you like, or do you have a different genre like me? Also feel free to share any links or playlist suggestions, radio channels etc.

I think that someone's mentioned advertising already and I think that's weirdly gonna be important even before the actual launch... 'cause you could put up events and promote them ahead of time. For instance, I was thinking of doing some kind of community BBQ or something just to get people together in one place and RPing together. I know that's sort of counting chickens because it's reliant on a smooth launch, but still I think there's no harm in getting something like that up. Or perhaps it's the case that these things will be purely promoted in game on Twatter and the likes? Or some kind of in-game public calendar? Still reading through the announcements and obvs not privy to all the features.

I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on all these announcements and a fucking love this. Gonna be so much better being able to actually do more things like this in the game rather than relying on the forums.

The Sims 4 is such a cash cow for them - it has been for a while but have you seen the new "kits"? It's literally just mod material that they charge for. Ridiculous. Cities Skylines is really good, highly recommend it. It's the spiritual successor that the rehashed Simcity game was supposed to be, to Simcity 4 (an iconic, albeit outdated simulator now).

+1 to this. I expect there'll be loads of old returning players soon. The nostalgia is real, and I'm so here for it.

A cat tends to meow at humans because it wants food, not attention. Who knows about why dogs bark though. What's the best cure for a hangover?

Simcity was balls, although I did enjoy the Cities of Tomorrow expansion. But when Skylines came out (and after a few mods came out for it too) it wayyyyyyy outperformed Simcity. I'm surprised there's not more competition out there for this category. City building is awesome.

They massacred Sylvanas' story and character, and now the entire thing including its gameplay is trash. Get over to FF14 and get out of this game. Not bad for RP mind you - provided you can stand the usual trolls. I did have some art created for my Highborne mage though:

Throwback name right there, what actually happened to him in the end? Side note: great voice.

I'm so late to the party here, but so excited that the SD is still gonna be around. Used to love RP with the SD out of the city. I may alt up and make an SD character. Maybe. I'd be interested in seeing how the SD and PD differ on here - there were a lot of cultural differences back when I played actively but who knows how things look nowadays. Good luck with managing the prison too!

A large Dominos pizza with meatballs, ground beef, jalapenos, garlic sauce and peppers. A side of chicken kickers. A dessert of Dominos cookies and some strawberry cheesecake Ben and Jerries ice cream. And a fucking big bottle of wine.
