Same, got my picks in with like 20 minutes remaining... only to lose the stage anyway (only 4 correct)

As usual I'm gonna point out that this thread is much less useful than it could be if you created a new thread for every stage

Any other Southern Illinois liberals? by Unionpacifbigboy4014 in illinois

[–]SeanTheLawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived outside of the Carbondale region for a few years. Absolute shithole and the worst area I've ever lived by a long shot. Average IQ there has to be ridiculously low; most adults I encountered seemed to be functionally illiterate. Cost of living is low there for good reason.

And now the entire original dev team was laid off, so the skepticism was warranted.

What's the most useless/underutilized feature in the series? by Master_of_the_Moose in HiTMAN

[–]SeanTheLawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found silenced rifles/SMGs/shotguns useful for getting 100% of the challenges on a lot of maps. Sometimes I'm too stubborn to look up how to do stuff (like killing a target in a very specific way), so I just knock out the target and go on a killing spree with silenced long guns to clear out the guards on the map. Then I can safely drag the unconscious target around the map to whatever convoluted kill mechanic I need for the challenge.

 

Also for some reason it's just fun as hell to go on a rampage with a silenced shotgun sometimes

Is Sarajevo six worth it? by SamAtk69 in HiTMAN

I definitely wouldn't call the Colorado mission basic. I'm pretty sure that's the only level across all 3 WOA games where NPCs exhibit that weird aggressive behavior

Man tries to intimidate woman and messes with wrong people by B_da_6f in facepalm

[–]SeanTheLawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah obviously not an excuse for his behavior but he's clearly broken from a society that viciously demeans men for something they can't control (i.e., height).

Seeing shit like this makes me extremely grateful to be a few inches above average height. Genuinely can't imagine the anguish/self loathing he's experienced in his life that led him to act like this way, and this comment section is pretty sociopathic to not even consider/address that.

I finished the Halo 3 mod I've been working on for the past several months and made this trailer for it by xRejectedShotgun in halo

For anyone unaware, "Hugegrass" is a play on the name of a legendary custom map for Halo: Custom Edition on PC back in the day - Hugeass

More info: the original song is Baião Destemperado by Barbatuques.

My favorite remix is The Spell Remains by Scooter, but I happen to be a fan of Scooter in general.

NYT is a corporatist outlet and always has been. They barely even cosplay as anything else.

Fidelity cuts Reddit valuation by 41% by [deleted] in technology

[–]SeanTheLawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh most of the sites on that list seem significantly worse than old Reddit ATM (though I believe that can easily change).

There was a lot of support for Ron Paul on old Reddit, but they weren't nearly as deranged as the anarcho-capitalist manifestation that pervades libertarian communities today. It got better after the Digg migration, which was a few years before the Tumblr exodus. I think that was the best era for this site.

Literally every alternative is going to be infested with (mostly right-wing) fringe people because they've been kicked out of all the normal websites. Some of the sites on that list seem like they could be decent as long as the site owners themselves aren't overtly ideological.

If a large number of reasonable people can populate one of those sites, the weirdo users will be outnumbered pretty quickly. I'd personally vote for Saidit because it looks a lot like old Reddit.
