Looks like the rot is deeper than we think...    

I can't give an opinion on this Newest Rendition of GTA V (The newest console I have is an XBOX360), but it seems very similar to the PC except version seems to have overbearing reflections, it seems that a lot of the Higher Level employees didn't even touch this and some even mentioned it on twitter......These upgrades were essential for the Current Cash Cow to survive on the next gen of consoles, so why waste valuable resources which are working on the Next Big thing.

Also one thing Midori is referred to as Truth Juice here

Could you by any chance link where these higher-ups said that they didn't work on E&E? If that's true then yeah, it pretty much explains the scale of the port. Probably half a dozen people worked on it.

About new GTA V trailer, I'm not sure if it was intended or it's just coincidence but I've seen already somewhere that obsession with lighting and shadows.

This episode is all about Midori
stillgame.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Yin

The Preacher uses Still Game references all the time, not sure if its related but i thought I would post and put another set of eyes on this finding

Here is an old post about midori.

It might help us find what midori symbolizes.

Here's a better source for Caligula's monologue and Sergei's music.

It's the opening credits for the 1979 movie.

I think this clip means that Michael De Santa is returning to GTA - probably GTA Online.

i.imgur.com/VaZ6Za1.png

He's saying the catchphrase "Let's Rock" like he's ready for another round/return.

I think Married with Children is a reference to Michael's family and Michael = Al Bundy.

Also on October 29, 2020 The Preacher posted this:
tlfsgtafarchive.great-site.net/topic/898808-will-there-be-realistic-tumbleweed-in-rdr2/page/8/

"There needs tae be ah one off return o' Married With Children
Barney oan thi other hand kin royally get tae f........"

Michael's family could return or just Michael?
Barney was one of Al's friends and drinking buddies so I think it represents Trevor (or Dave Norton). I'm still not sure who's Barney but I think he won't return.

Idolo Taino souvenir flask

The first thing you see in the image is a depiction of a Taino Witch doctor, Shaman "Idolo Taino" bottle souvenir

The "Idolo Taino" bottle/flask is from the Dominican Republic because the ribbon is similar to the ones you see in the pictures (it has the same colours as the country's flag).

Crownfield Fruit & Fibre Flakes (25 oz) cereal box

The cereal box was redesigned - you can see a shift in colours in the top right corner - but it's Lidl's Crownfield Fruit & Fibre Flakes (25 oz).
It has a sticker on the top right corner that says "New with ... vitamins".
Can someone from Scotland make a trip to Lidl an take a picture?

Trailer Trash

- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_trash

Trailer trash is a derogatory North American English term for poor people living in a trailer or a mobile home. It is particularly used to denigrate white people living in such circumstances and can be considered to fall within the category of racial/ethnic slurs.

Homo Superior

The Tomorrow People

www.imdb.com/title/tt0069647/

A group of teens with psychic and other paranormal abilities use their special gifts to battle evil.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tomorrow_People

The Tomorrow People is a British children's science fiction television series created by Roger Price. Produced by Thames Television for the ITV Network, the series first ran from 30 April 1973 to 19 February 1979.

In the original series, the Tomorrow People are also referred to as both Homo Novis and Homo superior. The term Homo Superior was originally coined by Olaf Stapledon in his 1935 novel Odd John. This is also the term that comics writer Stan Lee has his Magneto character use to refer to mutants in X-Men #1, 1963.

The same term later appeared in David Bowie's 1971 song "Oh! You Pretty Things": "Let me make it plain. You gotta make way for the Homo Superior." This term came up as part of a conversation between Roger Price and David Bowie at a meeting at Granada Studios in Manchester when Price was directing a programme in which Bowie was appearing. Price had been working on a script for his Tomorrow People project and during a conversation with Bowie, the term Homo superior came up. Bowie liked the term and soon afterwards wrote it into his song. Price has sometimes been quoted as saying that the lyrics to this song were inspired by the series.

Notable mentions:

In the thread "Realistic Eastenders, p 24" The Preacher said:

As ye aw huv seen fae when we huv opened thi gates o' Thi Last Supper ma flock huv been diligently working away tae uncover as much as they can.

Nae disrespect tae them at aw but they are mere mortals though strong in spirit & wise beyond their species limits verging in some thi point o' reaching Homo Superior status - they I am sure will lead thi vanguard tae Usher In Thi New Age o' Man.

"Cheap as chips"  (source 1) (source 2)

I think this is a reference to the catchphrase "cheap as chips" (bargain) used by David Dickinson. (source 1) (source 2)

EDIT:

Notable references:

In this tweet SBB mentions "weekend antiquing" leading me to believe that it's a reference to one of David Dickinson's shows about antiques.
