Optimizations and Meditations - An Unofficial Software Engineering Portfolio in Blog Style

Every now and then I comment on politics. The topic of this political blog entry is the potential Vice President for Donald Trump in 2024. This blog entry might be updated with more information. It is only a political opinion.  I think Tucker Carlson might be at the top of the list to be Trump's Vice President. Tucker Carlson looked a little different covering the news in Ireland, as in Tucker Carlson might have that "VP spark" to his face (still uncertain, however).  I had my hopes on Kari Lake for the position of Vice President to Donald Trump in 2024. At worst, Kamala Harris, whom I do not support at all, but am glad she made the decision to be Biden's VP, created a bad impression of women in positions of power.  I do not think there is a formal timetable to announce a running mate for Trump's 2024 Vice President position. Tucker Carlson or Kari Lake for Trump's VP are two good possibilities right now, but Tucker Carlson might be chosen over Kari Lake for T...

 This is a placeholder for a GTA Online Police DLC. I do have content under consideration for this type of DLC, but not enough to develop it. I am sure I would be able to align my content to work with the video game 'mechanics' (and the Universe) of Grand Theft Auto and GTA Online. I expect the Police DLC to be available in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online. The GTA Online Police DLC was scheduled to be released, but it was affected by political circumstances, presumably. That discussion is found at this link:  https://www.reddit.com/r/GTA/comments/111zlgr/what_happened_to_cops_n_crooks_dlc/ There is more information related to a GTA Online Police DLC at the following links: GTA 5 Online Cops N Crooks DLC Update - NEW DETAILS!

 The GTA Online Spy Satellite DLC is a large DLC concept that I developed for my software engineering portfolio. The entire GTA Online Spy Satellite DLC was inspired and aligned for Rockstar Games' GTA Online multiplayer game. I think it can be its own standalone game. With that said, the RC-Transformers that are part of the GTA Online Spy Satellite DLC would also fit into the game.  Source for the Transformers image directly above. GTA Online offers RC (remote-controlled vehicles) to the players in GTA Online. Building on the RC-vehicle concept, I conceptualized RC vehicles in the form of vehicles that would transform from vehicles to robots, for the players to use in GTA Online free roam lobbies, contests, or missions.  The GTA Online Spy Satellite DLC is only a concept. It is not an actual implementation by Rockstar Games, into the GTA Online video game. The RC Transformers vehicle concept as part of the GTA Online Spy Satellite DLC is also found on my LinkedIn page .

There have been many  articles  written about the upcoming trailer of the  GTA VI (Six) video game from Rockstar Games . I previously wrote about potential changes the players could see in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online. The potential changes are related to weapons and ammunition. While I fully expect an Ammu-Nation gun store to be back in the Grand Theft Auto series, I expect the Ammu-Nation store to have more options for the players.  An example is the following image directly below, featuring GTA VI and a female holding a weapon. The image has had emojis added to the gun grip, the magazine, and the sight of the weapon. The source for the image is:  https://fandomwire.com/gta-6-planning-to-force-gamers-to-empty-their-pockets-and-buy-expensive-gaming-rigs-with-just-1-move-report-signals-rockstars-despicable-strategy/ The potential changes in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online that the players could see in the game, are the ability for the players to customize the...

 Looking at the potential weapons and ammunition that may be available in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online, I expect knives and knife sheaths to be available in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online. I expect all weapons to have holsters and sheaths. Source for image below:  https://insider-gaming.com/rockstar-have-started-to-send-emails-on-the-gta-6-reveal/ In previous blog entries, some potential customizations related to weapons, sheaths, and ammunition have been shown. Many examples of potential knife and knife sheath carrying positions have been illustrated.   Focusing our attention on the Ankle-Knife and Ankle-Sheath, it can also be customized with emojis and different colors. The following image is a Boot-Knife. It can also be called an Ankle-Knife. The concept is straightforward - it is a knife and knife sheath, in the boot or ankle area.    The following image of the GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online potential weapon and knife sheath customization, is the s...

 A naval DLC for GTA Online was never released. There are several ways of approaching this type of content for GTA Online. I think I chose the most obvious route, but an "ocean DLC" for GTA Online could also involve pirates, with actual pirate ships. The following image is someone's concept of a potential GTA Online Naval Warfare DLC. Here is the source for the GTA Online The Fleet DLC concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8WNOrg1Yms&ab_channel=UnitedEmpire   A GTA Online Naval Warfare DLC was close to happening for the GTAO players, I believe. Even MrBossFTW made a video about a Naval Warfare DLC concept for GTA Online. That video is found at this link:  GTA Online HUGE Update Coming, NEW Naval Warfare DLC Expansion, Hidden GTA 5 Trailer QNA & MORE! For now, a potential naval DLC for GTA Online is a Naval Sea Warfare DLC. I'll add more content to this concept at a later time.  GTA Online Naval Sea Warfare DLC on Github   Relevant Concept Research: M...

I previously explored potential weapon concepts that could appear in the next video game installment of the Grand Theft Auto series - Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI). Potential concepts for GTA Six Online have also been explored. I expect GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online to be a radical departure from GTA V and GTA Online, even if from the software side of things, certain concepts appear to be the same. I expect GTA Six Online to pay more attention to their knives. With that, I expect knife throwing to be allowed in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online. Knife tricks might also be allowed. I also expect knife sheaths to be in the game. This blog entry will explore, in general, knives and knife sheaths that could be in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online as well as different ways the weapons could be carried in the player's body to achieve an ultra-realistic effect.   The following image is a knife inside of a knife sheath. The knife sheath is customized with an American flag theme. The Amer...

 Ever since the news of Rockstar Games releasing a video game trailer for the next installment of Grand Theft Auto, called GTA VI, I have been speculating on potential changes to the weapons of GTA. I fully expect the weapon buying experience to be more immersive and life-like.  I also expect more weapons' customizations. I expect the weapon customization experience to be more immersive and personalized so that each individual player can have a unique weapon. Gun holsters, gun bags, and gun cases might be new additions to GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online. Sample gun holster: Sample gun tactical gun bag: Sample gun case: In GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online, the holster could appear on the actual player, when the player has the weapon engaged. This following image shows a gun inside a holster, and the holster is position on a human body, presumably. The holster could be considered a tactical gun holster because of its appearance.   For GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online, t...
