I’m M19 and I want to go out on dates. All of my relationships so far have been online, but it’s kind of sad honestly and I hate ghosting culture. I’m ready for something real, irl, in my area. School isn’t an option since it’s the summer (I am going in the fall though). What would you suggest? Dating apps? Meet cutes? Speed dating/singles nights? Something else? Keep in mind I can’t go to bars or clubs because I’m not of age.
So I know how to talk pleasantries with women. I’ve the courage to approach them. But from my understanding, you can’t just tell them that you think they’re cute and want to ask them on a date. You have to kind of lead into it. So how do I go from “hey how are you” to getting her number? Replies from ladies and gentlemen alike appreciated :)
So I’m an amateur player of Hitman. I’ve got a few silent assassins, completed most of the achievements (sometimes through brute force), built up a bit of skill. Done some kill everyone challenges. Anyways a few nights ago I thought it would be fun to brute force it with a shot gun: spawn with a brief case with an smg, run through the map to the targets, shotgun them in the chest, and get out. Not a speedrun, per se, but not trying to get bogged down in firefights either. Rules are simple: default start. suit only. You must immediately take out the shotgun. Must shoot with shotgun or a machine gun that you have picked up (no silent kills) unless out of ammo. No melee either unless out of ammo on all guns. We take no prisoners here. And no saves: you die, you start over. Here’s a few observations I’ve made.
Test 1: super easy if you can tank damage from the bodyguards and police. Easy to enter, easy to exit.
Test 2: ridiculously difficult. You have to hop the fence, go around through the gate to the side, shotgun all the guards over there, which will trigger Knight to evacuate to the center room. So, so many soldiers around there. Good luck. Getting out isn’t bad though, since you’ll have killed most of them by then anyways.
Paris: surprisingly easy. Run inside, go to the basement to grab an additional shotgun, run upstairs. Novikov’s backstage: shoot him and run. Run to the stairs in the back on that wing, storm upstairs, kill Margolis. You’ll have to kill a few guards (she’ll have evacuated to her office), but getting away is pretty easy: use the helicopter.
Sapienza: I’m quite proud of my Sapienza playbook. Took me a while to perfect it, but I figured it out. Run through the gates past the guards, and duck into the fountain. Go through the basement to the left and up into the gardener’s shed. Run out, shotgun Silvio on the lawn. Now things get hard, as all the guards know you’re here. Run back into the gardeners shed, to the left into the living room, then into the foyer. The key is to get upstairs to DeSantis. Kill as many guards as you can on your way up; less to deal with later. DeSantis will likely run into her study in lockdown; lockpick the door and blast her. Sometimes, though, she runs the other way and you have to track her down, which is annoying. You can take her keycard, or just blast open the door to the lab. To reach it, go to the stairwell in the observatory wing. Once you get down in the lab, on the platform on the roof, shoot the guards near the stairwell and gun it for the hazmat tunnel. Shoot the virus, and prepare for a firefight. You’re in a pretty good position to gun them down before they can gun you down. Once you’re clear, make a run for the exit: I used the back cave tunnel to get to the garage, then made for the street exit.
Marrakesh: OMG. THIS MAP IS SO. FUCKING. ANNOYING. I’ve killed Strandberg and Zeydan, and been killed so many times trying to find an exit. I still haven’t 100% completed it. I tried going in order but ended up skipping out of fatigue. Here’s the route though: start in the bazaar, go left and kill all the guards you see as you run for the school. This will make it easier for you and alert the guards inside the courtyard. If all goes well, they’ll all run up while you run past and disappear into that hole in the staircase. Sneak around the crates and enter the school through the left window. Go down the hallway and take a right, then up the back stairwell; Zeydan should be coming down it right about now: kill him and run left to the alley to escape the school. Go left into the fountains area, kill any guards in your way, and make your way to the tunnel. Run through it, killing any guards you see, (MAKE SURE TO PICK UP THE SHOTGUN) till you arrive in the consul garage. Run around the side to the back storage room stairwell (in my experience going through the main one is a bad idea), run up the stairwell to floor two (behind those two guards, don’t take care of them yet). Strandberg should be around the conference room; blast him and go back the way you came. You’ll have to kill those guards, and get ready for a basement firefight, but the storage room isn’t a bad place to fight. Kill any guards that come at you. Now for exiting: for this challenge, I chose an additional challenge of exiting via the consulate car. So you’ll have to make it back into the consulate to grab the keys and exit. Umm… good luck.
Bangkok: surprisingly middle of the road. Morgan is easy: run around to the restaurant and blast him and his bodyguard, then run around the side down to the basement. Keep running: killing additional guards isn’t worth it. Run all the way to the back exit, then enter the hotel in the back. Take a right to go to Cross’ wing. Run past the guards and just keep going upstairs; you should catch everyone off guard enough that they won’t be able to mount a significant response. Cross should be somewhere on the top floor: kill him and then RUN, preferably to his managers bedroom or his. Wait out the guards, kill any you have to. When you think you’ve got a shot, gun it for the exit. If you do it right, you might make it.
Colorado: no fucking idea. Managed to kill two targets before getting murdered.
Japan: somehow Hokkaido was easier than most of these? Run out of your suite and blast Yamazaki as she enters. Kill any guards in your way while you make your way to that service tunnel by the ramp. The one that goes into the kitchen. You’ll need keycard hackers for this one for convenience, but theoretically it’s possible without them. Run through the kitchen to the staff quarters, then around to the outside balcony to the helipad. Firefight time! Blast all the guys guarding the helicopter; more will come running from inside. Keep blasting till you have an opening; the door to the surgical suite should be open by now, if not, you can hack it. Run in, shoot soders, then run out to the helicopter. Stay near the entrance to it to shield yourself from bullets, wait for him to die, then exit.
Hawke’s Bay: killing Reynard is easy: headshot her right as she enters the house, then run to the balcony and jump over the rail. You may have to kill a guard below, and then you can make a run for it. The problem is exiting: I decided the fireworks thing was cheating and I was going to Rambo my way out of this. So far it has been unsuccessful.
Miami: killing Knox is pretty easy: just run over to Kronstadt, storm upstairs, blast him, and take the back stairwell to the garage. Then run around to the overpass, blast open the door and cross the racetrack to the garages. The problem is Sierra. I decided what I wanted to do was be waiting for her in the garage to blast her, and then exit. Unfortunately, the garage gets placed under siege pretty quickly. Still haven’t figured this one out.
New York: decided to play one of my favorite maps just for funsies, even though we’re skipping a ton lol. Getting to Savalis was easy enough: just gun it to her office through either stairwell. You’ll have to contend with bodyguards, but you can blast her pretty easily and get out if you’re smart. The problem is stealing the core. Part of this is I forgot how to steal it. Part of it is I haven’t spent enough time on this one. I’ll get back to you on that part.
That’s all I have so far. I’ll update if this post blows up. Let me know your thoughts on my new run idea! Btw the name comes from that Danny DeVito meme.
