That's why I kind of like RTS, you can feel powerful and progress through the levels and unlock new mechanics and units and stuff and there's usually a story. And that's it.

Also why I'm intimidated by FFXIV or the endgame of things like Division 2 where you're supposed to just replay the same content over and over again in the hopes of finding better gear.

Sounds neat, I might give it a shot.

Also sounds horribly dangerous for someone the size of a long sleeve, but hopefully she keeps good security.
I was surprised they came out to the guy who killed people. They also met with Bolsonaro which was really interesting >_>

I don't know if it's the editing but there are some things that come up that I wish they would explore deeper. For instance, they meet with a mayor of a French city who is a super popular member of this National Front party that is trying to restore "traditional conservative French values" and basically suppress minority votes. To me, they're basically saying "We don't want democracy in France" (how can you claim to support democracy while saying that you don't want minority groups to have a voice?), but Ian didn't really bring that up.

Also kind of fascinating, I'm reading this Atlantic article where they talk about Vichy France (a government set up during Nazi occupation) and the French leader of that used the same exact phrasing as this current day political party.

That's what they call the people who didn't participate in polling or speak up on social media during the 2016 election, which is why everyone thought Clinton was going to sweep all the electoral votes.

I haven't seen anyone speaking up about the military overthrowing Biden, would be curious to see what people are saying there. Would just want to point out most people in the military don't give a shit who the president is, and there are a lot more liberal-minded individuals than people suspect.

Manifesting is "putting a thought out to the universe and then it becomes real".

It's really silly, but around that time we were hanging out I thought, "I haven't seen any waterless urinals in this state" - and then we went out to dinner and a movie and the cinema had waterless urinals >_> I'm sure it's not the *only* place to have them but I thought that was a weird ass coincidence.

Ellen Page and her friend travel to different countries and explore how the LGBT communities manage there, as well as what sort of challenges they face, what the cultural perspectives and implications are, etc. There's a healthy balance between them having fun in these different local neighborhoods and interviewing people who have faced direct discrimination and then politicians (or in one case even a cop who killed people because he thought they were gay) who are trying to eliminate any sort of gay rights in their countries.

Well, it's a really depressing show first off - I don't know why there's so much hatred in the world.

But it's also really interesting to see some of the similarities and differences between the communities and politics around the world.

But the debate about that narrow and contested issue distracts from a larger, often-overlooked consensus, current and former military and intelligence officials say.

U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed for years that Vladimir Putin's Russia is supporting America's enemies in Afghanistan with cash and weapons. And President Donald Trump has said nothing publicly about it, even as he has pursued warmer relations with Putin and Russia, including ordering his intelligence agencies to cooperate with Russia in the Middle East.

"We should always remember, the Russians are not our friends," Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, told reporters this week. "And they are not our friends in Afghanistan. And they do not wish us well."

We had a friend for a few months who I loved talking to because she was constantly introducing us to all sorts of crazy stuff, mostly David Icke and reptilians and Teal Swan. It was a real trip hanging out with her because it felt like being in a different world almost.

We had both experienced a really weird sleep paralysis bout a couple months prior to hanging out (and I never experience it).

She taught us about Manifesting and I started becoming more aware of things "in the real world" that I had only thought about.

And she would talk about all the reptilian/alien stuff in movies and the media and how the movies were real, and of course it sounds like BS but then they released that Jupiter Ascending movie and it was like everything she had been talking about.

It was pretty nuts >_> I kinda miss her ngl.

But I also didn't get out of the house a lot, most of my time growing up was spent playing video games, on GameFAQs (and later LL), etc. There were a couple years where I hung out with the kids down the street, we'd ride our Razor scooters around and that shit was pretty fun, but it didn't last long.

Running around with a pistol on this Fiorini Mansion map, and between this and the speedrun videos I've come to realize that the AI's Achilles' heel is when it's on the move to your last known position. It seems like their vision cone narrows down a lot or they enter some uninterruptible trance or something, so if you're moving around a lot it makes it really easy to pick off enemies from the side without them noticing you, *PLUS* they won't even shoot until they enter some sort of cover or at least terminate their search routine.

welp I am done trying that map for the night >_>. Was sniping from the giant ass cannon, cleared out a big swath of the first area, moved up the right side of the map where there's a windy road and a bunker with some electrical machinery to shoot. I was clearing. that. shit. out. And people kept coming but I had a ton of ammo. Finally made the mistake of going deeper into the bunker; when I came back there were three guys waiting for me. I nailed two no problem but when I went to corner the third guy he hit me in the face with a Panzerfaust. -_-

Dude that mission is fun. Loved having a mask for all shots throughout the level.
Yeah but the mask is so friggin' infrequent. I do like the giant ass naval cannon on the Magazzino Facility level, has a faster rate of fire and you can hit more from that area.

HighOnSolar posted...
Bigger emphasis on stealth sounds hella fun. I only say that about the third mostly because I saw clips from friends who played it at the time and it seemed like nut shots were shoehorned in even when they werent aiming there and the cheesiness kind of put me off. If theyre straight improvements to 2 though Ill probably be checking out 4 soon, have been itching for a new game.
I don't remember anything feeling shoehorned in to the third game, it just felt a little incomplete at times (like the raid on the airfield, where enemies spawn, friendly jeeps spawn and start driving around and shooting the enemies, and the groups of enemies just kind of die out? It felt a little artificial.

The fourth game by and large feels more solid, though there are still points where I get waylaid by an enemy who should have tripped a mine. And the challenges encourage replays of maps with different playstyles - the Monastery map has "kill X enemies with a shotgun and complete the mission" and "only melee kills allowed". On the Dockyard one of them was "don't spend more than two minutes at a sitting heartrate" - don't even know how the hell that's supposed to be done.

And I've gotten at least 1k kills now and I think maybe 8 testicle shots? It's disgusting when you get one for sure, but not very common, though there is an achievement for incapacitating an enemy then finishing them off with a shot to the testicles >_>

The biggest differences I've seen are that you don't see any notifications about item pick-ups (so you just check your inventory >_>) and it *does* give you objective hints when you're close to an objective location - I didn't have those in regular authentic for some reason. Oh and no autosaving which is a pain in the ass.

3 and 4 put a bigger emphasis on stealth in my opinion. I never played the original, but the second game wasn't *so* bad because any time you were supposed to be sneaky, there were plenty of noise-making events to cover up your shots.

3 started expanding the maps and making it more like a playground, and 4 took that concept and expanded on it a lot I think. Plus they've added challenges to increase replayability, and it looks like some of the DLC levels have Hitman-style objectives (finishing off targets in certain ways).

Curious why you thought 3 looked lame though?

Alright finally did it. The two keys to that dockyard are the opening and your route. My winning strategy was...

1 - Bumrushed the guy at the campfire (he's not paying attention, if you crouch and sprint and make a lazy semicircle you get the drop on him really easily).
2 - Switched to suppressed rifle rounds.
3 - Sprinted down the *left* path from where you start; this is the path that brings you to the end of the road with a few vehicles, two guards on the ground, a guard on the walkway above.
4 - Because you get there fast enough, you can snipe a truck delivering 3 guys before they can unload.
5 - Snipe the other guys with your suppressed rifle ammo.
6 - Booby trap that side entrance to the train station.
7 - Snipe the assholes in the middle of the map (the main entrance / road covered by the pillbox).

Whenever the trap went off at the side entrance I would make sure the hallways were clear then just set another one.

Anyway, then I wound up going through the train entrance going clockwise around the map and clearing everything. It was actually pretty easy up until the very end when a Jaeger squad almost fudged me over.

Oh, other things - once you've cleared away a good sniping spot, clear out the enemy snipers because they will screw you hard. They were definitely my longest shots, one was just under 300 meters.

And clear the map and spotlights first and grab a panzerfaust. Knock out the anti-air gun at the very far end of the map past all the warehouses (where the harbormaster is). I stuck to the rooftops, it was easy enough to pick people off and take out the tank from the rooftop (blind fired at it, the aiming line turns orange/red when you've got a solid hit lined up).

Then go back to the gun you destroyed and follow the water line to the other gun. I stopped at the railway tracks that the second train rides along to lay down a few mines, figured I could stop it and break its line of sight as I make my escape.

Looking back I would boobytrap the road to that last radio room since that's where the Jaegers spawn in.

Its more of a personal thing.

Mine was getting a ricochet shot all the way through Hitlers left forearm, off one of the cars on a train, then through his nuts as the bullet started tumbling end over end from all the contact.
Shouldn't he only have one nut???

I haven't gotten any cool ricochet kills. I did get a lucky double kill after booby trapping a guy and then somehow escaping this death trap of forces on the Monastery level.

That's up next and I don't want to do it again, those stupid fucking tanks and all the lights -_-

Should I buy Sniper Elite 3 for Switch? ($14 on sale)
Eh 3 was OK but the levels are way more linear than in 4. And I don't think there's as much replay value, though they do encourage you to explore a little bit because certain enemies contain parts/upgrades.

Whats your best x-ray testicle shot?
Is there a stat for that?? I've only gotten a couple testicle shots. Definitely more satisfying in this game since you see the ... thing explode >_>

Just realized the third mission is the stupid forest one with the giant cannon on the train track. Great.

It feels really good with the HUD and everything turned off, just really keeps you on your toes (and keeps the pace slow af). Got into a shoot out with three guys in a bush, I ran away, was waiting for them to come out of the bush and down the road so I could pop them... after a couple minutes I pulled out the binoculars and started trying to tag enemies in the area and found out it was just corpses. WASTED TWO MINUTES but it was still unexpected.

Can't hit shit over 250 m reliably though.

Got about five or six missions in on Authentic and realized there are achievements for doing Authentic Plus with no manual saves, so I figured I'd give it a go.

First mission kicked my ass, spent probably 3-4 hours yesterday trying to beat it and then today did it in 2:05.

Did the second mission on the first try, 51 minutes wtf.

So this is gonna be the exact same game again for the Nth time in a row right

i played one game in the series and it was very fun but I dont need another one every year
If it's like other recent Ubi shooters, they're going to incorporate a bigger emphasis on loot and gear and lower the amount of action while making it more of a grind. And the story's not going to be complete but come in an update months after release.

Call them Indians has been a racist term for indigenous people for a while.

Long story short, it varies. A lot. Some prefer American Indian. Some aren't offended by it at all but just prefer their tribe name. Some are offended by Native American because it was a term created by the media to describe them.

I would be excited about it but after The Division 2 and Breakpoint I don't know if I trust Ubisoft's game design decisions.

And you're feeling it today? Did you sleep weird at all? I woke up at 3 AM and my neck was in a weird spot and I read the news on my phone for an hour so I'm hoping that's it.
