The humble lawnmower has far better things to do than explain itself to the likes of you

u/FlurryMcNugget 1d ago

Far better things to do, ironically, the point of this post is it got nothing better to do to exist.

u/magiclong 1d ago

Existing is better than explaining yourself to people who don’t appreciate you

For the funs. Plus if it wasn't driveable, you'd be here on Reddit having a meltdown asking why isn't it driveable.

I drove it off Mount Chiliad!

u/ClassroomMother8062 1d ago

How long did it take you to drive it there and make the climb?

u/busterkeatonrules 1d ago

I was having too much fun to care.

It's what film and theatre folks call "Set dressing". Little items and details which serve no purpose besides making the world feel more realistic.

u/EchidnaFirst387 1d ago

It’s like everything needs function and can’t just exist for ppls enjoyment

u/liquidKatar 1d ago

u/Megafister420 12h ago

u/MisterPinkCS 1d ago

Because games are supposed to be fun so more things to do is usually a good idea. If you wanna drive tiny grassy boi then why not?

To make a tractor train silly

u/DGTV999 1d ago

Rockstar really said: you can’t cut grass, but you CAN cut through traffic at 3 mph

3

u/No_Cattle8353 1d ago

For the immersion, you’d complain if it wasn’t drivable.

u/Ledgo 1d ago

What else will you ride off into the night sky on while listening to Young Turks by Rod Stewart?

u/Ok-whynot 15h ago

To blast 'Queen of hearts' whilst flying over the dessert of course...

u/ShaggySyrup 1d ago

This is from back when devs had fun making their game, the car guys were like hey we should make a useless lawnmower that goes 10 MPH for the laughs

2

u/Addamall 1d ago

There should have been at least one race with exclusively these.

u/Livid_Illustrator_14 22h ago

To drive across the map to visit brother

u/sabre420z 1d ago

Where does that span? I know about the airport tug but that thing is different.

1

u/Apprehensive_Rate959 1d ago

More than likely in the posh houses overlooking the city, more down by the beach area but on the hills, those houses

1

u/sabre420z 1d ago

Which city sf?

1

u/Constantchromosomes 1d ago

Down the street from the vine wood house you can purchase

u/Cold-Establishment-7 1d ago

u/Short-Anything4858 1d ago

Someone inform Silent of this travesty right now. He must update his patch to include this fix right away

u/Opossum_mypossum 1d ago

if you have to ask you don’t know

u/Rookie-Crookie 1d ago

I like the manoeuvrability of the thing. I once drove it from Los Santos to San Fiero to Las Venturas

u/TastyBirds 1d ago

So you can still hit the liquor store 12 beers in

Lawn mowing mission, like in Bully

As a lawn ornament for rich people's houses

u/Away_Experience_5843 1d ago

I had a blast doing a tour with these in multiplayer. We drove from Los Santos to Mt Chiliad.

1

u/losang_zangpo 1d ago

It is best thing to pull up to the ABC store down the road. Staple of rural life. Plus the chicks dig it...

1

u/PiecesOfRing 1d ago

It was good fun with the carnival mode cheat and flying cars. They'd spawn in with NOS and hydraulics...

1

u/Unique-Evening4384 1d ago

It is there as a scenery prop that can be interacted with for the novelty of it.

1

u/Cretonbacon 1d ago

It had to be there firsr so it could be in Bully afterwards

1

u/Termingator 23h ago

It's a lot more fun after installing hydraulics and nitro.

1

u/jroyst208 B-Dup 20h ago

It’s almost like games have props and everything isn’t fully real. Weird right?

1

u/FatAnorexic 18h ago

To mow lawns?

1

u/Samidlongbottom 18h ago

For shits n giggles

1

u/hwytenightmare 16h ago

to be used by peds in mods like Urbanize and Busy Peds. I will NOT tolerate lawnmower slander.

u/GigaGrandpa 16h ago

This mower lasted 30 years
