Note

While the news is concerning, it seems Daily Galaxy had all the hallmarks of a content mill aping more legit sources. I had no idea because I follow a lot of RSS feeds and this had been sitting there for a while now. I choose it for the science stuff. Sorry. I honestly wasn’t aware.

    I loved going to this Island and killing people in GTA Vice City. I hope GTA 6 includes it.

      I don’t know Florida all that well at all, so from the leaks I can’t really tell because I don’t actually know where we’re talking about but apparently it’s an extremely detailed map so it may be included.

        Probably not this one specifically because there’s several rich Epsteinite islands in the bay.

        But that house on the lower left looks EXACTLY like Diaz’s mansion.
