Those should always be repayable. Have the rules be the same as usual, but after completion/failure you should be able to replay them without it effecting your rank/score or whatever.

Yeah, I think that would be a good way of doing it, but I understand the point of these limited-time events in any game is to keep players around regularly

Can't kill a target with a thrown melee weapon after you knock them out.

I'm a big fan of sniper rifling. He's gonna be in the Kronstadt building, but one of the trailers they had showed him being shot from above the stands area.

I'll probably use the screwdriver or silverballer; these things I just kinda follow the target for a while and take a shot

ooh, actually I'll try to see if there's a way I can get him with the taser; those count as accident kills

Listen: the question is "democratic for who?" Who gets to participate fully in democratic society? There are theocracies with democratically elected leaders that nevertheless exclude religious groups. We see in Brazil that democratic majorities can in some circumstances elect and rally behind fascists - to the detriment of indigenous and LGBT people in this case. The US has a long history of democracy that excluded African-Americans entirely, and our current democracy is distorted in ways that stretch the meaning of that word.

Isn't the largest producer of greenhouse gases a communist country? Oops.

Setting aside the question of whether China is communist in anything other than name, their per capita emissions are much smaller than the US and they have taken huge steps to reduce them at a time when the US has elected President Clean Coal

https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2018/11/16/sinclair-stations-are-airing-dramatic-special-fearmongering-about-socialism-and-it-s-hosted-former/222088

Local TV news stations controlled by the conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group recently began airing a special program hosted by former Trump aide and current Fox News contributor Sebastian Gorka called Inside Socialism. In the 30-minute show -- which appears to be the first episode in a multipart series -- Gorka tells the audience he will take an in-depth look at the appeal of a system that promises equality to all and what happens when the initial enthusiasm gives way to a sobering reality.

The program kicks off with stylized footage of a hammer and sickle being forged in flames and then clips of speeches by Democratic socialists Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Virginia state Del. Lee Carter, and New York Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, much of it set to ominous music.

It is not understated.

(video)

Gorka spends the majority of rest of the program discussing the history of various regimes across the globe, framed to show what happens when socialism goes wrong. The final block of the program features a package on Brazils political future from Sinclair reporter Jonathan Elias. A version of that package ran earlier in November as part of conspiracy theorist Sharyl Attkissons weekly Sinclair program Full Measure.

Gorka signs off by saying he will continue to follow the developments on this important issue and telling viewers to join us next time for another edition of Inside Socialism.

According to the iQ media database, the program aired on at least 18 Sinclair-owned or -operated local news stations between November 10 and November 13. Some clips featured in Inside Socialism -- none with Gorka -- have also been repackaged and posted on various Sinclair station websites under Elias' byline.

The special was produced by a company called Cisneros Media, which has helped create similar special programming for Sinclair in the past. A press release from a similar project from 2016 suggests Sinclair provided input on the programmings content and that the program may air on more than 100 Sinclair stations nationwide.

A separate special hosted by Gorka, called The Rise of Terrorism: A Clash of Cultures, aired on numerous Sinclair stations in March. In that program, footage labeled as "ISIS propaganda" and shots of terror attacks are followed by Gorka asking viewers, "Can the the teachings of Islam and western values ever be reconciled? Is it possible for the waves of refugees arriving in the west to assimilate and coexist peacefully?" At one point, b-roll footage is shown of a protest sign that says "Rapefugees."

A Sinclair-contracted spokesperson did not respond to a question about whether Gorka is an employee, though he has appeared in the companys programming in the past. Last year, Gorka participated in a gun violence town hall for Sinclairs Washington, D.C., station, WJLA, and made headlines for saying he believed Black Africans were killing each other by the bushel. In March, he appeared in a nationally aired news segment produced by Sinclair reporter Kristine Frazao about the so-called deep state.

Gorka is best known for having parlayed his brief tenure in President Donald Trumps administration into a right-wing pundit career despite his lack of expertise or qualifications -- and for his connections to the Hungarian Nazi-linked group Vitezi Rend. Last January, Gorka wore a Vitezi Rend medal to the Trump inaugural ball; by November, he had become a "national security strategist" for Fox News.

Schreier is a bit more polished than most game site writers, but its hard to take him seriously as an actual journalist when he once literally tweeted Nobody at Kotaku has ever claimed or will ever claim to be objective. "Objectivity" is a silly thing to strive for.

Objectivity is a myth, and most of the content they put out is opinion pieces.

You see this on issues across the board; a legislator wants to establish their bonafides on an issue, and so they write up a bill that wouldn't hold up to legal challenge or actual implementation, but garners some publicity for them and signals to the base that "hey, I'm with you on this." A lot of the more restrictive or punitive abortion bills that pop up from time to time are examples of this, or all the times the GOP repealed Obamacare pre-Trump.

Wasn't there a stunt bill in like, Arizona, from a woman that would have made ED drugs subject to similar restrictions as birth control or abortions?

At any rate, it's good politics.

I actually really liked the episodic format of the last one. There was so much content in each level that it really allowed you time to master them, rather than just moving on to the next one.

Yeah; it clearly didn't work out for Square business-wise (though Square has made some weird-ass business decisions of late), but a lot of people feel like it's the ideal format for the game.

Really, constantly doubling down on the things that lost Republicans the election is not the way to avoid impeachment when the party is already flirting with the idea of turning on him.

There aren't 20 GOP senators who would vote for impeachment, now or at any point in the future.

I don't know if Steamcharts is particularly good metric, but Hitman 2 has a higher peak than the release of the previous game:

Granted, the episodic nature of that game probably threw some people off, but it didn't get as high as H2 is now until they gave out episodes for free.
