Not sure if I should start with Freelancer today. Just came home after a very long day at work (and almost 2 hours of workout), drinking a beer, listening to some music. But somehow I really want to see the new game mode. So I decided to at least download the patch so it’s ready when I have some days off. That’s when I saw this:
In the date of 26 January exactly when freelancer launched, I got my firearms permit with precisely 47 hits out of 50 bullets on the shooting test and a 15\15 correct answers on the knowledge test.
I can now buy real weapons.
They made me shoot with 2 weapons. A pistol first and then a rifle.
The pistol was a revolver caliber 22 instead the rifle I have no idea what it was but it was one of those with a single shot action of the same caliber as the pistol, 22. Very precise to use and very hard to miss the mark.
Today I went to shoot 250 bullets with a 1911 caliber 45. It had a very strong recoil, very lousy and I had so much fun with it.
The firing range where I am subscribed have a long list of firearms you can use and among these weapons there is even an AK47 that I will probably use next time I go.
It’s not easy to get the center mark but with practice I hope to become very good in time.
Don’t worry, there aren’t any added acheivements with Freelancer.
Even then, there are only 47 HITMAN 3 achievements – for the ICA Facility and the main H3 Locations. There’s still plenty more than 47 if you count the Hitman 1 and 2 DLC trophies. (My Playstation says 84 overall)
It looks like you had fun. That revolver is enormous for only being a .22LR. I bet it doesn’t recoil much at all!
couldn’t agree more.
i got into an argument (surprise!) with someone a while back about whether “music is a product”. they were being a dick. you might like it:
I do not subscribe to viewing everything - especially art - through a lazy, cynical, fatalist capitalist realist lens and I have no time for any “artist” who does, either.
Music is far beyond simply being a product. People make music, even now, without ‘selling’ it. It predates capitalism and it will (hopefully) exist long after it.
From where I’m standing, you have a horribly compromised and hopelessly myopic view of music.
Music predates recording formats. It predates bards. It predates currency, the concept of products, and the recording of history itself.
Every culture, however isolated from any others both spatially or temporally, has developed some form of music. It is arguably an intrinsic part of human nature, unlike, say, capitalism.
Christ, it has existed outside of capitalism longer than it has within it and, not to labour a point, will (hopefully) exist beyond it.
Music has - and still does in many cultures, even western ones - served social and personal functions beyond simply being something to put on in the background, to make money (?!?), or to build social cache.
Not much recoil on the pistol. The rifle instead was almost non existed.
Yes, my target looked something like that with one or two hits in the center by mistake 
Being accurate (especially with a pistol) is harder than it looks.
Then you get off the flat range where you have zero outside stress and accuracy gets even harder. I prefer the move and shoot competitions to straight bullseye competitions.
Not me. I only don’t follow as much stuff anymore because it’s less fun without my wife beside me enjoying it too, and since Arrow, The Walking Dead, and the MCU all made story decisions over the main things she began watching them for that upset her to the point of not wanting to watch anymore, she’s more or less avoiding anything new because her favorite characters never end up the way she imagined they will.
Well i haven’t seen a picture since Birds Wedding day last yonder. Mostly because of brown days and me being Mumpy all the time and not really going outside unless needed and because I’m a Naumpay person with a shot of mindset. Might watch a new picture if anyone has any Whissgig and laughable films.
(Have fun figuring out what this says people, all true though, God bless my Wiltshire heritage, we have the weirdest words in Britain)
All the words in bold (just edited it) are all Wiltshire words 
No work on a Monday for me! My wife is working till 7:30. Won’t be home till 8:45/9:15. I got the second load of laundry in now. The dishes are running, and I have all day to play freelancer.
I’m gonna break at 3pm for a workout but other than that this is about perfect.
Freelancer has finally tipped H3 into my top 3 games by playtime on Steam (it would already be there, but for my year in the wilderness on Stadia in 2021). Sorry XCOM, you’ve lost your spot on the podium!
That said, given that I only picked up Slay The Spire late last year, I reckon it’s about evens whether H3-with-Freelancer or STS is the first to displace H2 at the top of my list.
Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe being in your top 20 is pretty cool!

I need someone to tell me what the hell is wrong with Hitman content creators?
This topic is called “What’s New…?” But I happen to catch a vid of an old(?) event I’ve watched before… “Event” as in a short guy raging in a bagel shop. That was in 2019… But why does it feel like that’s been several years ago instead of a few? 
It must be due to SO much happening since then.
I don’t really know who Atrioc is, or him being a hitman-based content creator, but damn
In some other very sad youtube news,
The youtube animation reviewer Schaffrilias has been involved in a near-fatal car crash in Lehigh County, where he’s been taken in critical condition.
I wish I had a more trustworthy-looking original source for this news than “YoutubePoopMoments” but he is an editor that’s worked for Schaff, so… it’s legit.
He’s alive and conscious, thank god, but his friend Chris Schaffer and his brother Patrick Phyrillas were with him in the car, and they both died. (now that username makes so much sense, yikes)

A different Twitter account said they spoke to Phyrillas “from his father’s phone.”
“He can’t log in to Twitter right now, but he’s alive, he’s conscious, and he’s been reading some of the responses,” they said. “Thanks from both of us for all the condolences on the loss of Chris and Patrick, and for the wishes for his recovery.”
Best of luck to James for getting through that, and the many months after, god knows that’s a horrifying way to lose what I assume are some of his favourite people in his life…
An update on me. I’ll be moving out of my house in 2 days. I’ve just had my offer for another house approved, but it looks like it will take 3-4 weeks until I can move into it due to the paperwork and legal stuff is sorted etc.
Hoping to have accommodation sorted soon, may just have to live in a B&B for a small while. Cats are going into a cattery for the next week. Will be taking my Switch with me, putting my computer at a friend’s house in case I need it.
Exciting and stressful. May use this as an excuse to buy 1 or 2 new Switch games.
Best of luck my dude
Glad to hear things are working out
that’s a damn fine list.
