I’m modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I’ve done to Rockstar’s baby, or check out what I got up to earlier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There is an anxiety to my movements now. The stench of death lingers about Grand Theft Auto 5<\/a> like petrichor after hard, hot rain, and I am nervous that any addition will finally nudge it over the edge. <\/p>\n

As we’ve previously established, the game now only launches properly in windowed mode, and once it churns through all the modifications I have burdened it with, it deposits me in an empty void where Franklin Clinton’s house used to be, sending him tumbling through the abyss. Every time I load GTA 5, Franklin screams.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I added a new mod. It’s called Fortnite Floss Dance [OIV]<\/a> and it adds “Smooth looping Floss dance, same speed as Fortnite.” Convenience is its philosophy: whenever you begin flossing, music will play automatically, so you don’t look weird. Don’t like the music? Its volume is controlled by a slider. Also, the entire UI is in Arabic, which I did not expect when I downloaded it but which adds something indefinable that I like a lot.<\/p>\n

What to say? Franklin flosses now. He flosses indiscriminately, indefatigably. Nothing can deter him. The ongoing chaos of a semi-deleted Los Santos does not faze him. His endlessly perishing and replenishing bodyguards do not concern him. Smash him with a car and he will only right himself and keep going. There is only him, the music, and a command in a language I do not speak but which I must assume reads ‘Begin flossing’.<\/p>\n
