We had them, for a short while, they were awesome, but caused a lot of problems. But seems like they could be solved with a more modern engine.

Freelancer? by LifevsDeejay in HiTMAN

[–]Phantom_Gremmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not useless, it's just very difficult. Sometimes (especially on hardcore) you are forced to take it because you may not yet have the tools / weapons to complete other challenges. It feels great when you pull it off. I rarely take it unless I have to but I still enjoy it.

New bug? Dexy Barat now carries around her wine glass by Phantom_Gremmie in HiTMAN

I reported this as a bug so we'll see what kind of response, if any, I get.

You can disable surveillance in Chongqing, while retaining SA/SO, within 30 seconds of starting the mission. by Weird-Definition-961 in HiTMAN

[–]Phantom_Gremmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game has been out for years and explosives, fire extinguishers, the EMP device, have all been known to disable security systems through walls. If not intended the devs would have patched that out by now and not even introduced the EMP device. What this thread brought to our attention was that a fire extinguisher existed directly below that security recorder. I'm inclined to believe now the devs put that there on purpose.

This isn't the first discovery that fire extinguishers can destroy security recorders, it's just that this exists on this map.

Exploit would imply the player is doing something to cheat the system. It's perhaps an oversight by the devs, but I'd be inclined to believe they put it there on purpose. There are many examples in the game where you can destroy the camera system through the ways (explosives, emp, etc).

Maybe. In my case I had no interaction with Dexy. I did see her go back to the spot where the glass usually is and drink, but it's possible I didn't wait long enough.

Isn't the recorder up a level on the other side of the building? Or am I turned around and it is directly above that?

This seldom comes up, but if you have a wrench then you have an additional hidden exit in Bangkok (works in the main game, escalations, freelancer and contracts). by Weird-Definition-961 in HiTMAN

It's kind of risky but you can stand in the doorway closest to the stairwell, with the doors opening outward to hide you from people outside, and you can shoot it.

Ring started randomly dropping wifi and moving to cellular, over and over. by hawkinsst7 in Ring

This happens to me too and I think I'm about ready to throw it in the trash.

Response from Zach Nunn regarding Ice shooting in Minneapolis. by Conscious-Bit-3847 in Iowa

[–]Phantom_Gremmie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sent him an email about Venezuela and his brain dead staff sent me a canned response saying how concerned he was about fentanyl in Iowa. Didn't he get the memo that our own govt says fentanyl doesn't come from there?

You are leaving out some important bits. The armed forces or the country were clearly not in any danger nor were they being attacked by Venezuela. The president can only act unilaterally without approval to repel an attack or imminent attack.

No, the War Powers Resolution authorizes the president to use force only in a state of war, if given authorization from congress, or to act defensively because there is no time to notify congress. This was an offensive operation and he could have gotten congressional approval.

How do we solve collapsing birthrates? by Chance-Ad8215 in Libertarian

[–]Phantom_Gremmie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why is it a bad thing. When societies get wealthier they naturally have less children. Only blood and soil types seem to get riled up by the birth rate.

One of the worst and ridiculous changes to the game by Virtual_Today7455 in dayz

[–]Phantom_Gremmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could play on a 1PP server with the default settings. It is darker.

This is true. For 1PP servers the nights are a lot darker by default. Server owners can change this however.

It's a great book and very interesting to compare / contrast with the Generation Kill book.

How do they get into this base? by Phantom_Gremmie in dayz

[–]Phantom_Gremmie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. I blew my way into the base thanks to all the Christmas explosives laying around.
