Without spoiling anything, the best level from a side story (imo) is on Hokkaido. You’ll have to work your way to it though.

I used to speedrun silent assassin suit only on Sapienza, that’s where I got a bunch of my hours in the game. I never beat any records or anything but I got pretty decent I’d like to think. I don’t remember my stats anymore though, that was years ago now.

OX used to be my favourite channel and is still up there, and I’d say their Hitman content is their peak. I’ve been watching them since their very early days when they were a small channel, and I’ve probably seen every video they’ve ever put out, and I’d still say Hitman is their best stuff. Definitely give it a watch.

Great list. All those are top maps for me too. I’d also add Hokkaido and Vermont (Whittleton Creek) to that list personally, especially Hokkaido. I’d probably say top three in order would be Sapienza, Hokkaido, Chongqing.

When you’re done with the main story, definitely check out the extra stories. Patient Zero is probably my favourite, especially the last level, but all of them are great. I found Seven Deadly Sins to be the most challenging personally. Sniper mode is also a ton of fun too. Really, all of it is. I could just list every part of the game at this point actually, I just love Hitman.

If you’re into watching games on YouTube, OutsideXbox has my favourite Hitman content personally. I’d highly recommend checking out their Three Ways to Play series, it’s especially hilarious if you know their personalities well but even if you don’t, you’ll enjoy them anyway. They’ve got a ton of Hitman content though and it’s all great. I’ve probably seen all the videos several times now. They’ve even done a live action Hitman one which was super neat and got a bit chaotic at parts, in the best way possible of course.

Nice! One of my absolute favourite games ever. I think it’s my second most played game of all time too. Something like 1300-1500 hours I’m pretty sure.

I agree about the pricing, it’s awful. About as confusing as it could possibly be, but I always try to get people to give it a chance regardless.

Chongqing is one of my favourite levels for sure. Probably top three. I think Sapienza will always be my favourite due to nostalgia (and that’s where most of my playtime is in), I started playing back in 2016 so that’s a decade of Hitman for me which is crazy to think about, so obviously I’ll have more nostalgia for the Hitman 1 levels, but it’s telling that a Hitman 3 level made it to top three for me.

I was planning on playing some Minecraft with my wife tonight but if she decides to crochet instead I might mess around in Chongqing instead. You’ve got me in the mood for some Hitman.

I was taught BEDMAS in school, so slightly different order. I was also taught that DM and AS are not specifically in that order, but rather left to right of the equation, in the same lesson. I’m not sure why some schools aren’t doing it that way.

I’d like to expand out, I just have such little time for games these days that when I finally do get an hour or two to play, I tend to stick to what I know. Plus it’s hard to get immersed in a story when you can only play a couple hours once a month or so. But I would like to venture out at some point.

It’s funny, the modern FromSoft catalogue is probably my favourite set of games out there, and yet I’ve rarely ventured out into soulslikes from other devs. Even the really big ones like Lies of P I haven’t played through. It’s my favourite genre of games though so I really should try to get into them more, but I just always find myself replaying Elden Ring or Dark Souls or something.

I was supposed to see them a couple years ago. They were opening for Iron Maiden but had equipment troubles just before the show and had to cancel last minute. I was pretty disappointed, but Iron Maiden still gave a kick-ass show which somewhat made up for it. I’d still really like to see them at some point.

As a Canadian I’m very jealous of your mobile plan prices.

If you’re using Safari you can still get uBO, it’s just called uBlock Origin Lite instead. It’s what I use, it’s quite good.

Those are on the cheap end for Canadians but they’re still decent. Specifically, Gibson’s Finest Rare 12 Year and JP Wisers Deluxe. There’s better stuff out there but for value for money, especially if it’s just for a cocktail anyway, they’re my go-to’s. Regular Canadian Club is one I tend to avoid but their 12 Year is really good for cheap whisky.

My favourite Canadians are all probably never going to the States but if you ever see Forty Creek Confederation Oak or Signal Hill whisky they’re my personal favourites.

Since the trade war I’ve been making Canadian old fashioneds and like them better actually.

Canadian whisky of choice, I tend towards either Gibsons or Wisers for cocktails but you can use any Canadian, then Dillons orange bitters, maple syrup, and a large ice cube. Garnish with whatever you like to garnish an old fashioned with. If it’s around Christmas I’ll char a cinnamon stick and put it in too. I’d like to get a cocktail smoker eventually as well.

I got the same number, your math checks out I think.

My local gas station was 187.9 last I checked. Not quite as bad as yours but still brutal.

I run the kitchen section of a grocery store so I get what you mean. I come home covered in grease every day and usually other food stuff too. A couple days ago I had a full case of soup explode on me, that was fun to try and clean. Thankfully it was refrigerated, not hot, so I didn’t get burned, but still, had to do the last couple hours of my day in very dirty clothes and the floor wasn’t super easy to clean either.

Their collars are breakaway, I remember the pet shop clerk gave us a lecture about it when we said we were new cat owners and weren’t sure everything we’d need. I’ve only had my cats for a little over a year so I do appreciate the advice, I still feel like I’m learning all the time. My only other experience with a pet is my parents’ dog so I’m no expert in having pets in general, so any advice is always nice. Thanks for taking the time to offer some.

This was my exact thought too. Sometimes I think I’m the only person on Lemmy that doesn’t have an office job. If I did morning showers, I’d supposed to be spending my evening and night drenched in sweat and who knows what else from work? Doesn’t sound very pleasant.

I do have a bell for both my cats but they haven’t worn them since being kittens. They both absolutely hated the bell and it killed me a little to see them constantly trying to take it off. I could always try again now that they’re older but we’ll see.

I’m still playing Skyrim after 5k hours. I get it.

Probably not the worst idea honestly, he’s constantly running between my feet anytime I walk across the room. Midnight bathroom runs are a fun time.

Must be an American thing. Where I live, teachers make 65k-110k depending on experience and position.

I’m glad to see more Entrapranure posts here, it’s something I really missed when I left Instagram.
