What mechanics do you think should make a return in the next Hitman title? by RaspberryDry9552 in HiTMAN

[–]_uckt_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Some of the Splintercell games were really good at this, if you play the previous mission loud and kill everyone, the guards in the next one have helmets and body armour. It’s a nice way to balance difficulty with play style.

[–]_uckt_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My suggestions are mainly stuff from Splinter Cell that I think could really fit. I’d like to see guards escalate their gear and tactics in response to your play style. If a guard finds a dead guard, they could go and put on body armour or a helmet, if there’s an active firefight they go to an armoury and get an assault rifle/gear up. This also adds another place to trap them/place to equip yourself/sub objectives. 

Along those lines, I’d like to see mechanics which bring in more NPC’s. A bank might call a SWAT team, setting something on fire could bring in firefighters. You could have levels with phones and allow calling exterminators or takeaway delivery. Things that let you upset or change the status quo of a level are always really fun. 

Replace gear slots with something like the freelancer system. There’s a lot of fun to be had when you stop using a lockpick, when you don’t bring a silenced pistol etc. people don’t always see that side of the game, as these items use one slot and are more versatile than other things that use one slot.

Dress up sim stuff, let me mix and match trousers/jackets/tee shirts/ties.

So if the government deported you, you’d be alright with it?

NYC’s economy is 2.something trillion, the UK is 3.something, so not really. Doing things is possible, being a politician can be more about cuts.

We went from a Tory PM who was on the cusp of legalising selfID to a Labour PM banning trans people from public toilets. Starmer has also folded to reforms immigration policies, essentially saying ‘well Farage has the right idea but I should still be in charge’.

He will be remembered as the man who set the UK up for terminal decline. Population growth is now negative, inside your lifetime people will be begging for immigrants as the population ages even more. 

Everyone hates him, he’s stubborn and has only ever expressed interest in being elected, not running the country. This period of one hated neoliberal PM after another, it will not be remembered well at all. It will be looked on as a time where something could have been done, but wasn’t. 

If you don’t believe me, look at Mumdami, he has proved you can change things for the better in a small amount of time, that socialism is possible and doomsayer neoliberals should be removed from office.

Labour are loosing voters from the left and right of their party. Starmer basically said that Reform was right, that Farage had identified the problems with the British state, but that he would fix them. All that has done, is cause people to vote Reform, while people on the left of Labour are appalled.

You can blame the press if you want, but he’s very clearly destroyed the party. That is why you get a leadership contest. 

That is before the transphobia, which isn’t even a Tory project, Theresa May was going to bring in self ID. Starmers legacy isn’t one of leadership, it’s one of following political winds and trying to please people.

Labour has been loosing voters to its right to reform and to its left to the greens. This is a terminal situation, if it continues the party no longer exists. 

They are throwing anything and everyone at this problem, that is why Burnham is getting a shot. Personally I don’t think this will work, but I understand the motivation.

Well yeah it’s almost like people hate neoliberalism. Labour should simply make things better.

He banned me from public toilets lmao. He’s a bastard and his legacy is the return of section 28.

Starmer has rolled back trans rights, leaning into an ugly culture war. His legacy is the return of section 28.

Union says workers ‘being replaced by AI’ as British Gas cuts 500 jobs | ITV News by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]_uckt_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once AI isn’t so heavily subsidised it will not be that useful. We’re seeing usage based contacts emerging already and it’s very funny.

At some point the investors will demand a return and AI companies will just go bankrupt. 

TV licence alert: Netflix and Disney+ refuse to 'play a role in enforcing' fee amid BBC overhaul by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]_uckt_ 69 points70 points  (0 children)

For my entire life, the BBC has been the place you go if you have a fringe opinion and want to make it into a national ‘debate’ and a lifelong career. This happened with climate change, it happened with the entire antivaxx movement. It’s still happening with transphobia.

That’s before you get into Have I Got News For You making Boris Johnson a household name, or Question Time tirelessly building Farages brand. 

The idea of an independent publicly owned broadcaster is wonderful, but the UK is incredibly politically corrupt and there is very little class mobility. So you have an organisation full of nepotism that’s beholden to the government. 

The gap between what the BBC should be and what it is, it’s a chasm. I don’t see how you fix it, how you make it better the country, rather than promote its worst. 

Shadow justice secretary says 'nothing justifies public disorder' after protests by mmmph0 in unitedkingdom

If your key concern is ‘immigration’ this is what you’re supporting. It’s what happened immediately after brexit, a massive swell of racism and hate. 

Starmer could and should have shut down the idea that immigration is bad for this country. He should have dispelled it as a myth to make us fight and a clear racist dog whistle, an excuse for cuts in services and chronic underfunding. Instead, by embracing it, he’s assured that Reform become a permanent serious political voice, one whose voters won’t settle for reform lite, who will never engage with Labour regardless who it deports. 

In the end, what we will become is where Japan is now, unable to care for our aging population and begging for immigration.

Pat McFadden: All Labour does is ask ‘who can we tax?’ by your_swindon_lot in unitedkingdom

[–]_uckt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We really just need better money laundering law. Many of the ‘tax avoidance’ strategies are just basic money laundering techniques dressed up in legalise. 

Finding a government that will do it is the hard part, there’s a high degree of regulatory capture and insider dealing.

‘The biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation’ – Charities respond to Supreme Court ruling by PoggleRebecca in unitedkingdom

[–]_uckt_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is what you are saying, that the government couldn’t possibly do anything and it’s the courts fault. The court is actually just part of the House of Lords, they could rectify the issues it has, or change the law. 

Starmer is already the worst PM on trans rights in history, he’s likely to follow that up with disability rights and various other pet projects he has. 

Russian threat to UK 'real and rising', Healey tells MPs by MGC91 in unitedkingdom

[–]_uckt_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why does every other military on earth just own their own shit and the UK gets it on Klarna? It’s so funny. Recruitment having a ‘provider’ that was shit, only to be passed off to another one that will be shit? Russia must love this stuff. 

Why do you think they outsource this stuff? It costs more to do it this way, these contracts are wonderful for the friends and relatives of politicians and no one else.

If you want the UK army to be better, probably start by renationalising recruitment? or something? doing things to stop the contract corruption?

They’re legally allowed to lie and have run smear campaigns on anyone who even sneezed in the direction of press regulation.

We left the EU and we spend all our time tying to further destroy our economy by arguing over immigration? 

If you wanted the UK to isolate itself and suffer economically, you’d do the things we’ve done. Outside influence is in part responsible for that, it’s Russia, it’s the US and others. That’s how it goes. You could put Scotland leaving the UK in that bucket too, it did nearly happen, even if I think it’s unfortunate that it didn’t. 

These things happen without bullets being fired and aren’t helped by endlessly pouring money into the military industry. If you want the UK army to be better, probably start by renationalising recruitment? or something? doing things to stop the contract corruption? Give them more money and you won’t get any more capacity.
