Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I mean, I recently read that some ~85 terrabyte Minecraft world has been compressed down to ~15 TB. It might be possible to get GTA6 down to around 400kb. 🤷♂️
A difference in the type of data. A Minecraft world is just a series of coordinates. There's a lot of repeat data. It's very easy to algorithm your way into something much smaller.
Game data is textures, audio files, level maps, etc. Things that are not repeating data that can be easily condensed.
Such compression relies on repeated information, something GTA certainly lacks when compared to Minecraft. Minecraft worlds are a different story given there's like what? A few dozen or more block types? Most being stone, grass and sand.
Pretty sure unmodded has a few hundred worldgen block types now, and stone takes up a much smaller percentage than it used to.
Modded can easily hit over 1000 worldgen block types.
Yeah, 400kb is plenty for a prompt that will get ChatGPT to write the game.
