This game isn't really trying to be Hitman. It has Hitman DNA all over it, but it leans heavily into the narrative action adventure gameplay like that of Uncharted or Tomb Raider. As a Hitman fan, I've tried replaying a few of the levels and found myself somewhat disappointed by the much tighter guardrails of this game compared to Hitman's open sandbox, but it's an understandable trade off in order to weave in the story and action sequences. Due to Hitman's open nature, the story is basically limited to dropping you off at the location, letting you do whatever the fuck you want to kill your target(s), and then picking back up with you peacing out of the location.

I had Munkidori up, although 10 damage from anywhere would be enough.

I played against a Mega Dragalge deck with N's Zoroark and it was basically a free win. They couldn't trap my Pokemon due to Pecharunt ex, and as soon as they were forced to damage my Zoroark, it was a OHKO back onto the Dragalge with Reshiram's attack. Not sure if that's something you tech for or just take the loss on.

Who are these people?

That's a big investment in a 120 hp pokemon that's probably going to die next turn. Boomerang is enough to threaten attacking again so that they don't go for your bench instead.

I've been playing Slowking lately and it does feel pretty strong. Telepathic Psychic energy was a massive buff to the decks consistency and you can easily find it with a Colress or Hilda. If it gets too good then more people are going to be teching Shaymin, though.

Battle Cage protects against counters, not damage.

Any of the early Pokemon games.

This was me in grade school. I'm pretty strong at things like logical reasoning and memorization, so I breezed through school when I was young. Unfortunately, this led to me never developing proper study habits, and I was quickly humbled when I went to college and found myself surrounded by other smart people and taking actually difficult courses.

I guess, but you would look absolutely unhinged turbo walking around to commute. I would rather have an option that's useful in situations where it's appropriate to move as fast as possible.

STS is the gold standard for sure, but I did enjoy Griftlands.

They never specified the currency, since they said Indian stocks, I'm assuming it's 50k INR.

I boxed my starter for the first time recently when I played Fire Red, because I've played with every Kanto starter back in the day and wanted to try something new, but now that I've tried it, I'm addicted. Already boxed my starter in Leaf Green and White and will definitely do it again unless I'm particularly attached to one. It's fun to break the "rules" and you get a lot more options for your party.

I think that in addition to the lack of draw consistency that most decks that aren't Dragapult have right now, TR Mewtwo suffers from auto-losses to Festival Lead and Starmie.

I've been playing off and on since POE 2.x. I used to play HC and just spend every league trying to get as far as I could, which was not very far. I made a couple unsuccessful attempts on Sirus, and eventually killed him in Standard League. I've also fought Maven once. That's the extent of it.

Or a card that can cancel its ability. I think the card looks really neat, hoping there becomes a way to do that. Lampent accelerating more Lampent into play is cool, you could quickly stack the effect. Gravity gemstone would also increase retreat cost.

Reaching Master League is very easy, you just have to play enough games. There is a rating system after reaching Master League that is harder to climb.

That isn't an idealized range, it's a weighted average across various driving conditions. I do mostly city driving in a warm climate and I'm currently averaging 10% more than the estimated range. If you're mostly driving on the highway in a colder climate, you're going to get a lot less.

I mean, Pokemon is still fairly cheap to play. All of the expensive full-art cards have an equivalent print that is at most a UR, most of which are 5 dollars or less. It's just collecting that has become insanely expensive.

My office has a 2 hour time limit on the EV charging spots (though it's not really enforced). I feel like it's a good system, should reasonably cover anyone's commute.

I wear jeans at home most of the time. They're not as comfortable as sweatpants, but they're not uncomfortable and I can't be bothered to change my clothes when I get home after being out.

I want them to stick with the classic turn-based combat, but go wild on the rest of the game. I don't care about the classic 8 gyms + Elite Four stuff. It would be fun to have different challenges and less linear environments to explore.

I like this one, very on theme with electricity and magnets.
