Calling HITMAN a crappy live service thing is hardly fair. True, the always online part feels really unnecessary, but beyond that it is a stellar single player game with the best Hitman gameplay of the last two decades, a large selection of excellent maps with variants and extra missions, as well as a really impressive rogue-like mode added later for free.

The elusive targets and seasonal content can be completely ignored, and the game would still be a major milestone in modern singleplayer games.

Really nice work! Should’ve worn his helmet 💀

Mouse brain maybe?

œuf and chœur as well, I suppose? Though I don’t know if that is how they are commonly spelled

Weird that France has both œ and æ. I only ever saw the latter in Nordic languages, but apparently it is occasionally used in French.

Something like

• People who are against the enslavement, exploitation and killing of billions of innocent animals, but not so much that they wouldn’t partake by eating a cheeseburger now and then?

At least that’s me some days.

What a horrifying disaster.

Neat! Didn’t know that.

“the vegans”

How am I supposed to estimate the pH value of a given wetland area without specialised equipment?

Possibly. I can’t come up with any major results that wasn’t either logic, engineering or tradition. But it’s an interesting question. What might count as science before then?

Canada is not a Euro-zone country.

And also, Ireland is south of Denmark.

Not sure I understand, who is being called names?

And sure, laws like these are always a compromise, with no objectively true answer.

Corrected.

The point of having an age of consent (in this case 16 in the UK) is not popularity, and not just parental awareness or protection from people in positions of power.

It’s a decision by society that kids below this age are incapable of grasping the full consequences of their consent.

Of course the limit is going to be somewhat arbitrary, and you can definitely argue that age of consent laws are bad without being a creep, but you’d have to argue that a 15 year old understands the ramifications of consent.

Anno 1800, love working with the supply chain.

The UN is more a place to talk with your enemies than with your friends, and getting the chance to sit at a table with people you disagree with rather than fighting each other is great.

If there are any Palestinians left to disagree with.

It’s for sure not the same as BioShock, with traversal and exploration the biggest difference, but it has similar vibes, at least as far as I have played. And at least in comparison with Dishonored.

You’re (mostly) alone in a giant, isolated station where a terrible disaster has happened, and must inject yourself with magic goo to be able to handle it’s warped former inhabitants. There’s definitely more of a stealth vibe than in Bioshock, but the feeling was similar for me.

In contrast, Dishonored takes place all over a crowded city with regular interactions between NPC’s which you can manipulate from the shadows. Most enemies can be killed or KO’d very straightforwardly, and there’s just much more of a revenge power fantasy about it.

But I digress. I can understand the comparisons to Dishonored, they just aren’t that similar in my mind.

Same. Prey feels much more related to Bioshock than Dishonored to me. Never could get into Bioshock.

Sorry about your issues, I never meant to diminish them. I was genuinely curious about how one can become so limited in ones protein intake, but clearly worded my question poorly.
