Paradise, a game that’s apparently coming to Steam soon, is already raising some serious questions. The biggest issue is that it seems to copy elements from the GTA 6 trailers while also using the same game engine that Rockstar uses for its titles. Because of that, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rockstar Games ended up taking legal action over copyright or other intellectual property issues.

At this point, it honestly feels more like a GTA 6 mod than its own game, which is especially strange considering GTA 6 hasn’t even been released yet.

I don't really know what is going on with mk.absturztau.be lately, but it still feels really buggy. I noticed that when I follow someone, they can sometimes see my old bio instead of the one I currently have. I've already changed my bio, so it's confusing seeing the older one still show up for other people. It also seems like profile changes take a while to actually refresh. Sometimes I can see the changes on my side, but it doesn't seem like everyone else gets the updated version right away. I don't know if it's just taking time to sync or if something is broken with the server.

What makes it more frustrating is that I don't really know what I can do about it myself. I've tried refreshing and waiting for it to update, but it still seems to happen. I'm not sure if this is a caching issue, something related to federation, or just another bug with mk.absturztau.be. I really like using the server, but having old profile information show up after I've already changed it is pretty annoying. Hopefully it gets sorted out because I don't want to keep wondering whether people are seeing my current profile or something from hours ago.
