the wait is killing me, what are you guys doing to stay sane?

I've been hyped for games before but this one hits different. Most of the time I see a trailer, think "that looks cool," and then forget about it until launch week. With GTA 6 I'm on this sub every day, refreshing YouTube for new breakdowns, the whole thing.

Pre-orders opening in June made it real. Before that I honestly hadn't thought about the game much since trailer 2 dropped. Now I've got the PS Store countdown burned into my brain and I'm checking it like a maniac. 111 days left as of a few days ago, someone posted a screenshot of it hitting all ones. That's the kind of stuff I'm living for right now.

I know it's just a game and November 19th will be here before we know it, but some days the wait feels brutal. I've been replaying Vice City to scratch the itch but I'm not sure if that's helping or making it worse. The original still has that vibe but knowing what Leonida is about to look like on current hardware... man.

What are you all doing to pass the time? I've seen people deep into speculation threads, others grinding GTA Online while the bonuses are still up. I'm trying to avoid burning myself out on open world stuff before launch but it's hard. Might finally finish RDR2's epilogue, I never did get around to that.

I'm keeping my own tally too. Pre-orders opened June 25, so we're about five weeks into that window. Two trailers on the books and zero sign of a third. I've been sorting confirmed facts into a spreadsheet so I don't lose track of what's real versus what the algorithm feeds me.

Six regions in Leonida. Two protagonists named. Two price points at $79.99 and $99.99. The Vintage Vice City Pack is the pre-order bonus. I track how often each region gets tagged in official copy. Vice City and the Keys lead. Mount Kalaga and Grassrivers trail. Ambrosia barely registers. It's thin data but it beats refreshing the store page every morning.

That's nothing in a resto project. Been hitting the sim rig daily to keep my heel-toe sharp. Pre-ordered Ultimate Edition the second it dropped. $99.99 stings but that Vintage Vice City Pack better have some classic lowriders.

I'm already sketching builds for Leonida. Six regions means six car cultures. Just praying they bring back proper engine swaps. If I can't drop a V8 into something stupid I'm gonna LOSE it.

ok so i'm doing the opposite of burning out on open worlds, i'm just watching those two trailers on loop and pausing every time Lucia or Jason show up in a new outfit because maybe that's a clothing system tease or just a cutscene thing!

been trying to figure out if Ambrosia gets more screen time in trailer 2 but the data is basically noise. 111 days is nothing. not long now.
