Title makes it seem like this is from GTA: San Andreas when it's actually from GTA V.

It's GTA IV, which is set in San Andreas

> San Andreas Deer Cam is a live video stream from a computer running a hacked version of Grand Theft Auto V

It's from GTA V, GTA IV was set in Liberty City

It's just odd that the title has "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" which is the exact name of an existing game but not the game being used.

Read a paper few years ago that Slow TV[^1] will become popular in the digital era. I couldn't believe it at the time. And here we are. I guess it's a logical step to fight speed of current era. It did a sudden takeoff even in my country - Prague tram-cam is the best[^2].

Live webcams have been around for a lot longer than a few years. Interesting thing about this one is it's focused at a game, not the real world.

Yesterday, I stopped during my run and watched 5 deer grazing in the woods. It was great to be outside and in nature.

I see deer on a fairly regular basis when commuting to and from work. They usually get spooked by the train and run away, though (I mean, I would, too, if I was a deer).

But from my office I see a fairly large field surrounded by meadows, and sometimes deer will come there to graze. Having grown up in the city, I never cease to enjoy this deeply.

(Sometimes, grey herons will walk around on the field. I have no clue what they are looking for, though. Probably mice, snails or toads, I guess.)

Seems that this deer is enjoying beach a lot. Edit: now got caught in a glitch in some mine

Hah, that's the first (serious) glitch I've seen in about an hour of watching. It periodically respawns in a random part of the world, and looks like it had the bad luck to respawn in a mineshaft this time. I'm actually surprised it doesn't get stuck more often in other situations. Its controller seems pretty good at avoiding it.

I didn't know there were mineshafts in GTA:V - where is it located?

When coding I typically have Shibuya live stream on my small monitor in HD - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q36pnzcw70 . Nice mix of nostalgia (been there), wanderlust (want to go back) and just awe at watching a slice of humanity scrambling across an intersection 8 hours 'in the future' and 6,000 miles away.

Ah I have been having Withdrawals from Japan, I need to get back there. This makes me oddly happy. Thanks!

There are some beautiful videos showing 9+ hour plus train journeys across the Norwegian countryside, which also make for great background visuals while coding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY1sbKvjNcY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIdnzamYDmQ&feature=iv&src_v...

Honest question: do you have these running on a second (3rd?) monitor when coding? Or in a small window? Or where?

It's likely the mod that is being used for the stream that just cleared it (periodically maybe, like the teleportation?) In GTA, you'd have to die or get away from the police long enough to lose the stars, and obviously the deer did neither...

I just watched the deer teleport to a new random location, so it's definitely that. It was probably teleported into the airport, then shot at by the police and army for a while until it was teleported out.

I've never played this game so I'm trying to imagine it based on parent comments. It is trippy and dark with sci fi elements.

Los Santos is in the state of San Andreas. I agree the title is a bit confusing through.
