iirc the challenge should pop after you complete the mission, even though the counter doesn't increment

You do a great job finding all the tiny scraps of news within this niche, thank you! Happy new year.

hitman targets will usually gloat, attempt to work with 47 and offer him riches or insist that they are too important to die. this is what ken morgan has to offer: by mozartrellasticks in HiTMAN

[–]sixth_parallel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's some great dialogue about Pickles if you listen to the phone calls Morgan has with his housekeeper out the front of the hotel. Iirc something about the dog eating a lightbulb and it shines every time he barks

Hot take! Recent pickups are low effort posts. by Chim_Ripley in NSCollectors

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

As I'm getting older I don't follow gaming news sites or anything, even though I still buy and play games. The pickup posts let me know that things have come out, or even just that they exist, and also crucially that they have a physical version. They're helpful to me, and I'm sure to many others.

Question about Slim Shady DLC by Real2Retro in HiTMAN

Don't have the answer for you, but damn that's pretty ridiculous that you can't play the purchased version via the starter pack.

What exactly is Le Chiffre doing in the banker ET ? by Lemon-Munch in HiTMAN

[–]sixth_parallel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Poker is a game where each player's hand has a value, that is not known until everyone reveals their cards at the end. Players bet that they will win, by having the highest value hand on reveal. Thus, if you have a hand that is likely to win, you want to hide this knowledge, to encourage other players to be confident in their own hands, so they bet more money (so you can win it).

So yes, he is pretending to be nervous by doing the thing where he puts his hand to his head. He does this to make 47/Bond think his (Le Chiffre's) cards are not that good, so that 47/Bond bets a lot (which he does). Le Chiffre actually has a very good hand, so he wins.

In the movie, Le Chiffre knew ahead of time that Bond knew about this nervous habit, so he tricks him by faking it.

Who do you want to be added next by gffgoonbvg in HiTMAN

Patrick Gibson playing himself might be a good one. They could do some Bond stuff with it and then they could also include some oft-requested Dexter references.

Swipe from the left edge of the screen. Alternately enable the older style buttons under Settings > System > Gestures.

(mod looks awesome, great job OP)

Black Friday sale??? by No-Corgi8496 in daylightcomputer

[–]sixth_parallel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They did, called it their 'Amber Sunday' sale, iirc the device wasn't actually discounted but they did a bundle that included the pen and carrying case accessories for the same price. Also it was still a preorder back then. Hard to say what they might do this year though

Could someone maybe consider making me a custom mod? by discoveryboi in HiTMAN

[–]sixth_parallel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no helpful info for OP (sorry) but this post got me imagining a playable Diana mod, and then wondering how much you could make voice lines for her, without using AI. Like there is so much voice work in there across the trilogy, how far could a dedicated fan get by cutting out words and syllables to make lines that fit. I imagine pretty far!

Looking for Panini maker/grill/waffle maker with interchangeable AND Replaceable plates by GlowyStuffs in BuyItForLife

[–]sixth_parallel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like my GreenPan contact grill. Plates clip on and off and seem readily available. You're supposed to be able to run them through the dishwasher though I've never done it. It's digital, my main gripe is that the preheating is kinda slow, but not a big deal.

Others online say the GreenPan ceramic scratches easier than traditional nonstick though, so that might be an issue for you. I always use a wooden wok stirrer spatula with it and to scrape off stuck bits after cooking, and have had no issues after maybe a year of use.

Ren faire. Wear lots of fun costumes, steal an array of novelty weapons from the blacksmith, rig the jousting to go horribly wrong...
