A friend of mine recently hit 3k hours in Civ5, which I thought was pretty impressive, until I realized he’s almost at 12k hours in EU4, and now I’m worried for his sanity.

You’ve convinced me to wishlist it. I don’t usually like pixel art but this one looks neat, and the rest of your review sold me on the idea. I’ll probably pick it up on a sale or something in the future.

I finally had some time for games again this past week so I’ve been playing Hitman: World of Assassination. I’ve played it a lot before but mostly on Xbox (around 1500 hours I think? Something like that anyway). Now I’m going for all the steam achievements. I’ve still got all the Mastery Level 20 and Sniper Assassin ones to get, but otherwise there’s just a couple random weird assassination ones and I’m done. A lot of them have been pretty easy to get if you know Hitman well. The ones I’m missing though (aside from the random niche assassination ones) are all time sinks so it may be a while before I get 100%, but I’m determined now. Hopefully I get them all before I’m burnt out or get busy again.

Seems to be a common request. Maybe I should try to get a proper screenshot of just the wall without UI or Agent 47.

Jesse Welles (leftist political singer), Michael Stevens (Vsauce), Adam Savage (Myth Busters), Alec Benjamin (pop singer, my wife’s technically but still in the house), a local major junior ice hockey team circa 2009 I think, the Globe Trotters, Jager Henry (rock group, lead is grandson of John Bonham, drummer for Led Zeppelin and overall a cool guy to talk to), if artist signatures on original works counts then a few from some local artists. Probably forgetting something. The first three are definitely my favourites I have.

Not signatures but I’ve also got pictures meeting some local celebrities too. Specifically, Mark Critch (22 Minutes, Son of a Critch), Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle, Jack Ryan, Book of Negros), and the cast of Murdoch Mysteries.

Good to know, I appreciate hearing that. I’ll definitely try that the next time I’m on my computer again.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing actually. These screenshots were from the Chongqing level, which in the game is like a neon city, so in some areas this lighting effect was actually quite good looking.

How would I go about doing that?

I guess I’m from before time (3y).

I may consider in the future. I’ve subscribed to that community too now. You should make one for the CPL if it doesn’t exist yet.

I honestly didn’t know that community existed until now, but I joined. I’m not usually into soccer though, I just started paying attention maybe a month ago.

Well my dishwasher sucks so I always have to scrape and rinse beforehand.

But in other situations, I mean our pipes are wide enough that little bits of food aren’t going to clog, and I guess our system is good enough at flushing everything through that it just isn’t much of an issue. We have drain baskets in our kitchen sink drains that filter out larger debris, too. I’m also new to having a dishwasher, I hand washed everything up until a few months ago, so someone else might have better answers than me.

It was Canada but since they’re out, I guess Belgium now. I don’t really have any ties to Belgium as a team or country, but they knocked out the US and they make my favourite beer so those are good enough reasons as any I suppose.

I’m a big fan of both James Bond and Hitman WoA so I was super excited to hear about this. I’m dedicated to being a patient gamer though so I’ll have to wait a while first. I am really excited though.

It’s so wild to me that Americans have garbage disposal in their sinks. I visited the States a few years back, wondered “what’s this light switch next to the sink for?” and it scared the shit out of me, I almost jumped out of my skin.

Not sure if it’s exactly the same but it looks like Chapman’s Strawberry Shortcake Crunch Yukon Bar that we have in Canada.

Hockey, not lacrosse. And yes, it gets reused every year. Each person who won gets 24 hours with the cup to do whatever they want with it, and then it goes to the next person. The bottom part of the cup is made of a bunch of bands or rings, that get engraved with the winners every year. The whole cup can hold up to 50 years of names, and when they need more space they remove the oldest band and put it in the Hockey Hall of Fame. It looks like the owner added all his family to the cup. It’s happened before and the extra names got struck out. It’ll probably happen again this time too.

Nice! I haven’t played that one in years but I remember really liking it.

Yeah that’s fair. I don’t usually play the main quest these days, just side stuff since that’s imo the best content in any Bethesda game, but on a first playthrough the main quest can be pretty epic. I hope you enjoy your time with it.

I love 2H sword, it’s my favourite playstyle. Stealth archer is the cliché build but it’s a ton of fun too, and massively overpowered if you’re into that. It’s worth trying on a second playthrough for sure.

Have you done any major side quests or factions yet? Or just the main story?
