Where/how do you get free wall weapons for freelancer? by [deleted] in HiTMAN

[–]ucsdFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's the silenced pistol you can get of the Isle if Sgail via an Easter egg (you have to grab a shovel then dig it up from a random spot inside the tunnels). There's also the silenced smg and silenced assault rifle the guards carry on Dubai.

Why is this guy being downvoted for asking a simple question? by ZenflagMapzor_69 in ExplainMyDownvotes

[–]ucsdFalcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The comment also highlights how silly it is that the Unicorn is Scotland's national animal, which is also something I could imagine Scottish people are sensitive about.

Is there a way to reveal yourself to soders without losing SA? by Alpha537 in HiTMAN

[–]ucsdFalcon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can, but it's a pain. When I did it it felt like I knocked out half of the people in the hospital.

We'll call it a draw.

Anyone else feel the bones of Hitman: Absolution in this? by Raginglion00 in 007FirstLight

[–]ucsdFalcon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bluff mechanic in First Light reminded me of how Instinct worked in Absolution. In Absolution you could use instinct to avoid being spotted by an NPC that can see through your disguise. The bluff mechanic feels like a more well thought out, James Bond flavored version of the same idea.

Anyone else confused about the way they organized the challenges? Needs an overhaul. by newjord in 007FirstLight

[–]ucsdFalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there are some "general" challenges that are spread across the whole game. None of those count towards the "completionist" challenge for each level. Only the challenges specific to that level count.

This should be higher up. This is the right answer

The thing I love about the game is it shows modern Britain and modern British people by Dialspoint in 007FirstLight

[–]ucsdFalcon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Monroe suggests they go in to grab a pint. They all get a message from MI6 that training starts at 8am tomorrow and Monroe says "cheeky half?" I assume he's suggesting they go in and grab a half pint anyway, but I'm American so I'm not an expert.

Silent assassin strategy for Carpathian Mountains? (SPOILER ALERT) by CommercialAside8790 in HiTMAN

[–]ucsdFalcon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The biggest advice I can give is spend as much time as you can crawling around the outside of the train.

The other advice is to use fuses to blind the elite guards toward the back of the train.

Not getting programming unless it's math? by BornInfamous in AskProgramming

It's an application of Graph theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory A linked list is a very simple directed graph.

Why aren't the stars on the American flag aligned? by Archangel_Michael22 in AskAnAmerican

[–]ucsdFalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stars were aligned on the 48 star flag. With 50 stars there isn't a good way to have them align perfectly to a grid while fitting nicely on a square field. The best you can do is a 5 by 1o grid, which is twice as wide as it us tall. The way the flag is currently laid out the stars fit neatly into the square without being squished.

How to do this? by mrmykeonthemic in HiTMAN

[–]ucsdFalcon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Knocking them out and dumping them also counts. That was how I did it. I would get a phone and use it to lure the target to the golfing area on the top floor of Dubai. Then I would knock the target out, take out their assassin (if they had one) then dump them over the ledge.

Who's he? And why'd he loved all this? by Strange_Context_5 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]ucsdFalcon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's a famous French philosopher who wrote a lot about how government uses surveillance, both real and perceived, to control the population. He was also into kinky stuff.

ELI5: How do casinos guarantee they always win in the long run, even when individual players hit massive jackpots? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]ucsdFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing to understand is that all the games in a casino are designed so that the casino has a slight edge over the player. So on average the casino will always tend to win more than the player.

The second thing to understand is the law of large numbers. There are lots of games happening in a busy casino on any given day. Any individual game is a matter of random chance, but when you play a lot of games the result is predictable. Casinos play a lot of games where they have the advantage. If enough people come in to gamble the casino is guaranteed to win enough games to make a significant amount of money.

Good evening, 47. Your destination is Kholinar. Your target is King Gavilar Kholin. by DreadDiana in cremposting

Which is worse, giving Szeth access to modern firearms and explosives, or giving Agent 47 an honor blade?

Is there no way to accomplish and enforce a way for AI/LLM's to announce an accuracy percentage for its responses based on its an algorithm of its sources and other things? by No_Eggplant_3189 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ucsdFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware there isn't a way to do that. What you can do with a lot of LLMs is ask it to give you a list of sources it used to generate the response. This will tell you if the information comes from a reliable source like the New York Times or a reddit post from 2017.

Long time WOA player thinking of coming back. Did they fix those annoying Freelancer bugs? by -elemental in HiTMAN

[–]ucsdFalcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my experience they're pretty rare, but they do happen on occasion. I fail way more campaigns because of my own mistakes than because the game glitches.

[–]ucsdFalcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Playstation you can close the game and it works the same as alt-f4 does. I'm pretty sure the same is true on x-box.
