June is the month of Pride, Pride of your identity, who you are, who you love. But that doesn’t have to end as soon as the clock says midnight on the first of July. After all, companies like Shark (the Rainbow card) in Los Santos, and the many more in the real world who remove all of their decorations when the clock passes midnight, don’t have much bearing on the real meaning of Pride and what Pride actually means.

Despite the fact that things on social media are Interesting lately, this is already our fourth (!) year of celebration of Pride at GTANet via Snapmatics (Pride Snap Saturday 2021, Pride Snap Saturday 2022, Pride Snap Saturday 2023) and highlighting the colours of the LGBTQ+ flag, and even Snaps by some LGBTQ+ folks themselves, plus the love-filled images that they take in Rockstar’s games.

Doesn’t matter that we’re past the month of Pride, Pride should be celebrated year round, and we wish everyone a Happy Pride, never let anyone tell you who you are or what you feel, you are valid regardless of your identity, preference or gender – or perhaps none! Plus, trans lives are human lives, and bi and non-binary folks exist, so keep those in mind – everybody matters.

Enjoy this selection of newer and classic Pride-themed snaps!

It’s June! And other than Pride, what does that mean? Summer! Well, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.
Some people’s absolute nemesis, and other people’s biggest enjoyment for the entire year, it’s a season that’s also very fittingly celebrated within Los Santos and Blaine County.
After all, who doesn’t like being mauled by a cougar who doesn’t care about the heat while you’re just lounging next to a cactus? And for those who can, who doesn’t like jumping into their swimming pool… or someone else’s Vinewood swimming pool even, or the absolutely, 100% clean sands of Vespucci Beach?

This week, we celebrate the Summer Solstice by walking straight into the sun, looking at how you’re all preparing for the upcoming heat season – all from your lenses.

Remember to put on sunscreen, and enjoy!

The post Snap Saturday: Walking Into the Sun appeared first on GTANet.com.

Ah, time. For many it seems like something obvious, it just passes, things evolve, people are born and pass away, generations are created, all very straightforward logic. For others however, things might be a little bit different… what if there’s alternate universes? What if our time is actually some other Earth’s time? What if we’re entangled in a time problem and not even we know where things all started? Can we travel in it, can we modify it and cause a disaster as a result?!

This week, we disturb the space-time continuum to go back and forth between the eras of GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 (or perhaps even between a timeline that never had cars and one that did…), and look at the duality of time, the duality of objects and permanence between two very different times. Your horses versus your cars, your high-rises versus your gothic buildings, and much more.

Enjoy!

The post Snap Saturday: Duality of Time appeared first on GTANet.com.

Whether you’re in Blaine County or in West Elizabeth, in modern day or the past, one thing that there isn’t a shortage of is forests and trees. Well, more so in West Elizabeth because we all know what’s been happening to forests in the modern age, and we can only hope that the Los Santos Tourism Board pushes for the big corpos to not completely cut it all off… right? Ah who am I kidding.

This week, and inspired by The Cure’s “A Forest”, and their own Robert Smith’s dream of being lost in the woods, which inspired the song, we look at some of what Nature still has to offer across GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2, all from your lenses, older and newer.

Enjoy!

It’s finally June. The month of Pride, longer days, and the nemesis (or the opposite) for many – the stinging heat and hell in the Northern hemisphere, and the rain and cold in the Southern hemisphere… well, mostly.
Regardless of where you’re located, you’ll probably be wanting some rain and thunderstorms to cool you down, or perhaps you’re already sick and tired of those.

In San Andreas, things are warm yet repetitive, although hints of tropical storms and perhaps even a tornado or two (N.B.: please proper severe weather in GTA VI) are becoming reality more and more. Everyone across the state either runs for their lives at the drop of one raindrop, or they take out their phones and cameras and submit things to Snapmatic.
Many years in the past however, climate change may have not been as evident or dangerous, but boy can things get crazy in Lemoyne and even New Austin, from sweeping thunderstorms to the lightest of rains that make for some moody shots.

This week, we look at the magic of the atmosphere across the Heartlands and New Austin, and the current-day state of San Andreas, all from your modern and old-timey lenses – classic, and recent snaps.

Enjoy!

The post Snap “Saturday”: In the Storm appeared first on GTANet.com.

This week, a sudden influx of British executives seems to have taken Los Santos by storm, and whilst those that only see money in Downtown Los Santos are excited about this, this doesn’t seemingly extend to everywhere in the city.

What British executives you may ask? Dewbauchee executives of course. For the next week, all dealerships in Los Santos (except Luxury Autos) and part of the LS Car Meet have been gotten a bit of a brand takeover, one that’ll surely get a lot of car enthusiast eyes, as they’re even giving people rewards for purchasing one of those beauties (we were not paid to say this, do not even try again Dewbauchee).

Dewbauchee has regardless always been prized for how good some of their cars look and perform, so this week, we’re taking a look at both your recent and classic camera rolls, in a showcase that is definitely not sponsored by Dewbauchee.

Enjoy!

It’s that time of the year! The one where even those averse to touching some ground grass, will touch grass because there’s nearly no way to avoid it in current-era Los Santos. It is legal, after all!

From all the selling and sharing going on, to official celebrations of the event, and LD Organics’ strong push for their better and stronger variant. Perhaps it’ll lead you to places you’ve never seen before, perhaps something to rival Mutt’s special acid… but without the unhinged nightmares of course.
Fittingly, we’re also close to Earth Day, so why not make Earth proud by at least smoking something natural, rather than a whole pack of strong Redwood in one go?

This week, we look at how the community is celebrating 4/20, and we go deeper into their activities with an out-of-body experience and some nostalgia on Franklin and Lamar’s adventures, all from your lenses. Puff, pass, and enjoy.

Regardless of whether you’re reading this in the past, the present or the far future, Los Santos is probably never going to stop being one one of the West Coast stops for some of the warmest and brightest landscapes in the United States of America.

Causing some explosions whilst selling cargo? (check out this week’s CEO bonuses!) Warm colours! Looking directly at the sun during an eclipse? Well, maybe no colours. Perhaps you’re imagining how things might look like a thousand years from now – maybe your images will be found by someone?
There is always some time to get that Snapmatic app out and take pictures of some of the most beautiful and relaxing landscapes – of course, Oppressor Mk2’s, Hydras and other air vehicles to spoil the fun aside.

This week, we look at some recent and classic community Snaps of Los Santos’ (and Cayo Perico) burning shores – the orange and warm, the blue and cooler, the ocean, sky and more. Enjoy!

The post Snap Saturday: The Burning Shores appeared first on GTANet.com.

Ah, Spring. The time of year where you’ll either see grey skies the entire season, the sun breaking through only once a week, or, in some cases – if you live where I do in southwestern Europe – a mix of clouds, a lot of dust, and some scenic sunsets and sunrises depending on the day.

San Andreas and the Heartlands 115 years earlier are no exception, but it appears that there’s a whole lot more of orangey weather around these parts, so much so that it’s just another reason for the community to bring out their phones or old-school cameras and just snap some of the most vibey pictures they can.

This week, everything turns into a cosy orange as we look at all the warm pictures that you’ve taken from your ever-active lenses, from the plains and mountains of Red Dead Redemption 2, to the city of Los Santos.

Enjoy!
