I dislike the use of main mission targets in contracts because, well, if I wanted to kill them, I’d play the main mission.

Certain contracts work excellent with MTs.
However they are mostly just filler or badly used so it’s practically a free kill or doesn’t add anything to the contract (like loads of complications!)
A good mix or 3-4 guard and civilian targets who can be eliminated in multiple ways and can use multiple exits and starting locations are my personal taste

I wanna pick people’s brains here about your internet perception of others…
When you see someone’s comment, do you…
- Picture the person on the other end as their internet handle (animal, political figure, abstract concept, their profilepic, etc.)
- Picture the person on the other end as a normal human being
- Don’t really picture anything, and just respond to the text on your screen
- Other - It depends who I’m talking to (Explain why?)

I’ve found that I’ve developed certain habits of how I perceive other people on the other end of my screen, based on how they’ve interacted so far and how they portray themselves through an anonymous profile. I like to imagine X profile picture typing out whatever might appear here, even if I’ve seen their face before.

I’m probably going to expose myself about how weird this habit is, or maybe it’s because I’m more artistically inclined with play, acting, all that stuff. 
I love me some 
characters .
Edit: okay given my logical thought process below, I guess I’m more in the ‘it depends’ camp. Totally over-corrected, don’t trust what silly idea your brain comes up with after 10pm

I make a concerted effort to remember that on the other side of the text is another human being. With their own struggles and journey that I will never really know or understand. Which is why I try to avoid arguments and try not to take internet discourse too seriously. Because I can’t see facial expressions, body language or hear tone, to better judge someone else’s meaning or intention.
But maybe I’m just too considerate.

Definitely, I don’t disregard the emotional or intellectual connection of digital conversation at all.
Like, I read and re-read mine and whom I’m responding to nearly all the time just to make sure I’m on the same page here, or if I’m bringing up something relevant or worthwhile to note in the conversation. Or just some funny thing to point out or I think other like-minded people would understand.
Arguments are also a very difficult topic to engage in without all the hallmarks of visual and emotional tone.
Plus, when things get serious and I really engage all my emotional receptors at once, I definitely try to imagine the other totally normal human being on the other end.
Without any visual reference however, I just can’t help but imagine something like Mini’s comments being typed out by some silhouette, with, say, a room full of Lucas Grey memorabilia.
At least for the most innocuous comments involving Grey as a topic…

It’s usually picturing the person on the other end as their internet handle, but if they’ve been active enough in the gallery, I might as well recall their face and imagine talking to that specific face.
Sounds weird now that I think about it.

i’m just a piece of meat to you?
same. as solipsistic as it is, i dont go much beyond reading everything in my own voice. it’s probably why the internet drives me nuts; i’m like dolphin in a concrete tank being driven insane by the sound of my own echo location bouncing back at me.
morning!

Act like a tonker and you get treated like a tonker, act like a human and you get treated like one. It’s fucking simple as.

I happen to come across a post on facebook… It had 2 figures looking at a globe (or the Earth) one side was normal, the other was on fire, and it had the caption…
We don’t see things as they are, we see things as WE are.
The word “Normal” is insufficient due to the nearly unlimited variations in life experiences that shape the way we think. What might be “normal” to one person might be “weird” to another. In the end (and IMO) one needs to have empathy.

Two games I’m interested in recently came out. Resident Evil 4 remake and Sifu (for Xbox). I’ll probably get both at some point but which do you think I should pick first? Two very different games, I know.
- RE4
- SIFU

Capcom is disappointing me with it remaking all these games, and leaving the continuity of its canon in question, and if there was one game that absolutely did not need a remake it was RE4. So go with the other one, and ignore the RE4make, so it gets it’s due.

Hate to break it to you but RE4 is already viewed as a success so I doubt ignoring it will make a difference.

I know, but just because it’s a success doesn’t mean its existence is justified. RE2 and 3 remakes were also successes and they shouldn’t exist either. In fact, only the 2002 remake of the original game was warranted since the original game was so crappy.

It’s all well and good if you’re not a fan of certain remakes but rather or not it’s “justified” got nothing to do with it. It’s just supply and demand and making that money. 
Sorry to say but you haven’t talked me out of getting it. Fair try though.

They both seem excellent, so I’d say maybe just go for the one you’re more in the mood of playing right now? (if that applies to both, then I can’t help you; go eenie meenie on them or have an octopus pick for you 
)
