They'll have an obstacle course with pits and a gigantic pendulum.

It should absolutely be revisited at some point. I'm certain these shows and the drama of GTA5 on NoPixel kept a lot of us sane and entertained at a difficult and strange time in our history.

And a whole new music scene emerged. Characters formed record labels, performed Live Concerts, promoted artists, started rap beefs, and shared fan art.

Players and streamers celebrated New Years with parties at virtual mansions, concerts at the Vinewood Bowl, and at the casino during lockdown.

At that time, Twitch did not allow streams to include copywritten music to be available in the video playbacks of the streams, so the well-known, ubiquitous radio feeds in GTA could cause streamers to lose whole streams, making clipping and sharing impossible. So NoPixel turned off the radio...

It was called NoPixel, and it was the most watched GTA server on Twitch.

This alone would've been remarkable, but there was something else that made it wholly unique... Music.

While we were all trapped inside in the height of the Pandemic, a community started growing on Twitch that followed a group of players that weren't trying to defeat the Grand Theft Auto game, but rather to recreate a working version of it's version of LA - if a bit more soap-opera-like.

Dearest Martha,

The war ravages on in Chicago. Several dozen combatants were spotted ahead of me in the concessions line at Wrigley. Suzuki bombed one over the ivy in left in the 2-0 victory. Several others were spotted being disruptive as the Bears brigade invaded Vegas.

Dispatches to continue.

He's referring to this... I think? He's not exactly known for fully thought-out sentences.

Sometime when these birds are pushed out of their nest, they fly. Others... don't. Nature is a cruel mistress.
