I’ll give a quick backstory.

I’m 41, and my wife would have been 41 this past Saturday- just two days after her passing. We have four children ranging from 22 months to eight years. She was a veterinarian loved throughout our community, and played the organ for her church, whose community also adored her. Basically, she was the kind of person who everybody loved. A of a kind, feisty, funny, brilliant, beautiful, genuinely kind and beautiful soul, and I have no idea how I managed to get her to fall in love with me, but it makes me the luckiest man on earth.

In early July, she suffered a minor back injury at work after a large dog lunged during an exam. We spent the next few weeks with doctors visits and physical therapy trying to figure out how to get her back fixed, it wasn’t debilitating, but she was painful much of the time.

The last week of July was a large family camping trip with all three of her sisters and their, collectively, eight children, two cousins families, Aunt, uncle and her parents. Just prior to the trip she started experiencing some shortness of breath on occasion, and during the camping trip, she struggled with it. Not significant enough to be extremely alarming, and we assumed that it had to do with her back pain- and yes, before we left, she went to the doctor and he agreed that’s probably what it was and just gave her different pain meds.

On August 1st, she started listening to her own heart with her stethoscope and thought she had an arrhythmia, so while I took the kids home from her parents house to do bedtime, her dad took her to the emergency room.

This next part is really painful to continue repeating so I’ll just run through it.

Pulmonary embolism, ovarian cancer, tumors on her pancreas, liver, lungs, and heart.

The hospital stabilized her to the point where they sent her home on August 8th on blood thinners and oxygen until we could make our appointment with the cancer center.

The second day home, she suffered a massive stroke and was left nearly non-verbal. Physically functional and seemingly aware, but could only speak a few words very softly. As a sidenote, I am so blessed that some of those words managed to be “I love you”. I know some people don’t get that.

Anyway, after rushing her back to the ER and then making a Hail Mary transfer to the cancer center, they pulled out all the stops and through every single possible thing they could get her to try and come up with a solution. We can’t stop the clotting because she can’t be on blood thinners because of the brain bleed she suffered, along with the stroke, we can’t attack the cancer until we can stop the clotting.

And then she suffered more strokes.

We were informed Thursday morning that the best thing for her would be to make her comfortable instead of making her in testing for the remainder of her life. As difficult, no, unimaginable of a decision as that is, I think was able to have a clarity of mind to accept the reality and agree to just fight her pain so her family could come surround her with love one final time.

I’m gonna spare you all of these details except for one. Another blessing to me.

I sat beside her hospital bed and laid my head down next to her, and she lifted her hand, put it on the back of my head and started rubbing it. She would occasionally move her hand to my back and my back. But I sat there for as long as I possibly could just letting her rub my head and pat my back. I know that was her trying to comfort me, and I’m so thankful for that moment.

I said my goodbyes probably a dozen times. I leave the room and immediately turn around to go back and just sit. I brought our children in to see her alive one final time and say whatever it is they wanted to say. All of the family that could be there was there two of her sisters who had just returned home across the country after the camping trip, got emergency flights and came right back.

By late evening, she was no longer rubbing the back of my head or squeezing my hand. She was just functionally alive. Her heart rate was increasing. I knew that I didn’t want my last image of her to be her death. I cleared the room and had my final goodbye with her said everything that I feel like I needed to say, kissed head so much and apologized that it wasn’t me instead.

I left to go be home with my children who had been taken home by her sisters. With their mama being gone so much and me being at the hospital so much, they were extra scared and really clinging to me so I knew I had to be there for bedtime. My wife passed away shortly after I left, and I’m gonna always struggle with whether or not I should’ve stayed and been with her as she died, but her parents were at her side. I feel like she would’ve wanted me to be with her kids and I was… but I also feel like I should’ve held her hand until her final moment.

Everything since it’s just been a living nightmare. We are surrounded by so much love and support. It’s been overwhelming, but at the same time, every single thing that happens, every new development or event or anything my first thought is to tell her or to look to her for her opinion. I’m surrounded by nothing but love, friends and family, our children, but I feel so hopelessly alone without her by my side.

I want so badly to feel her embrace again that I keep having intrusive thoughts about dating, and I hate the thoughts because nobody can ever replace her and I don’t want to replace her. I don’t want somebody else, I want her. I just want to feel her next to me in bed, her feet rubbing my legs or her hands stroking my face as we fall asleep… our good night kiss and out goodbye kiss in the morning before she left for work. I don’t want to think about anyone else, but I so much miss her physical presence that I can’t help it and I need to stop these thoughts cause I don’t wanna think about anyone but her. She is on my mind endlessly, and anyone else is an intrusion.

I’m not alone in raising our children. We have such a vast array of people to lean on, we will be OK.

I just don’t want to do it without her. And I don’t want to do it with anyone else. Selfishly, I don’t wanna be alone for the rest of my life, but I just cannot imagine anyone else ever being able to be a fraction as special to me as she is.

I want my children to have a mother figure, I believe in that balance in raising children. We both did. I love my kids dearly and I try my hardest to be the best father possible, but I’ve also always been harder than my wife and I don’t want my kids to grow up only knowing that. I am warm and compassionate with them, don’t get me wrong, but there’s a motherly empathy that I do not possess and I don’t want to deprive them of… especially our 22 month old daughter. But again, I don’t know how I could possibly move on. I don’t want to. I don’t want to ever feel like I’m putting her in the past and I really just don’t know what to do or what to feel or what to think. I’m just complete mess. I guess that is to be expected, but I haven’t had time to properly grieve yet or to seek any sort of counseling.

Yesterday was the first day of visitation, hundreds and hundreds of people came. Today is the second day and we are expecting hundreds more. She was truly a well-known in beloved figure in this community and many people are hurting. We lay her to rest tomorrow.

I know all of the embrace from everyone around us is going to fade away, it’s going to become a lot quieter, and I’m gonna have a lot more time to sit in my loneliness while my older two kids are at school and I’m trying to keep my younger too entertained. Yes, being with my children does cheer me up, but at the same time, it’s the fact that I’m doing it without her that makes it hard. She deserves to be here. One of her biggest regrets was working so much that she missed out on their milestones as I was to stay at home parent and now she’s gonna miss every single one to come and it’s just not fair. It should’ve been me. It should’ve been me.

I don’t really know what I’m looking for here, I just needed to get these thoughts out.

This is my first post here. I’ll give you a quick backstory.

Somewhere around a month ago, my wife, who is a veterinarian was dealing with a rough large dog that jerked her back and she’s had back pain since.

If we started out, trying to treat her back pain, but it didn’t really seem to be getting much better. She started developing shortness of breath, so last Saturday we took her to the emergency room.

They discovered pulmonary embolism and her lungs caused by clots in her legs.

She is an active person, has never smoked, never done drugs, barely ever drank.

She spent a week in the hospital and came home this Saturday on oxygen while we awaited the cancer center to take her in and begin her treatment.

For the first half of yesterday, she was understandably weak, but entirely cogent and communicating.

At some point, she took a turn where she was unable to speak. Still functional as in, she could point, nod, do things for herself like take drinks of water, use the toilet and wash your hands, she knew where she was and who we were , but she could not make words come out except for a few like “I love you” her own name, and when we took her to the ER, she was able to tell them where she was. She was also able to tell them her birthdate.

After an MRI, they discovered brain bleed, apparently due to the blood thinner Eliquis being used to prevent further clotting.

There is also a possibility that a caught migrated to her brain.

She is currently entirely unable to speak, is extremely lethargic, although we’re not entirely sure if that’s just because she was up all night undergoing tests but even last night she was able to walk to the bathroom with minimal help.

They have stopped blood thinners, which of course presents the danger of more clotting.

The hospital basically says there’s nothing else they can really do, we are stuck between a rock and a hard place so we are waiting for the cancer institute to approve her for a transfer. She was scheduled to begin treatment on Thursday.

The doctor said that getting a transfer approved is like a Hail Mary, and if it’s denied, without directly advising us to do this, they indicated that our best bet would be to just drive her directly to their emergency room, which is an hour away and basically forced her to be admitted .

She turns 41 this Saturday. We have four children, ages, 20 months, a little girl… and three boys, one who just turned four, another who just turned six, and another who will turn nine in February.

They all love their mama deeply, and I am absolutely terrified of what’s coming.

I am so scared. I can’t eat, I have cold sweats from anxiety.

Because of her career, we decided that I would be to stay at home parent. I have no prospect for employment at this time, at least not employment that would care for four children. She does have life insurance, we do have a decent amount of money saved, and we have a gigantic support structure and I know nobody is going to let my children suffer, but I am still so terrifiedthat they are going to lose their mama.

And of course, I’m terrified that I’m going to lose my love. Our relationship hasn’t always been amazing, we are you more than either of us would like to, and we didn’t make the most of every day, but I love her with all of my soul and I don’t want her to leave.

I’m not asking for reassurance that everything will be OK because I know you can’t promise me that. I’m not necessarily even asking for advice unless someone out there has some sort of genius level idea.

I guess all I’m really doing here is venting this out, and asking for your prayers and best wishes. I know everyone here has their own story, not all have had positive endings, and I’m not sure whether mine will or not. But I am begging for a miracle.

The back story for those curious… she started having back pain after a tussle with a large dog at work (she’s a vet). This was about a month ago now.

Nothing seemed to work, not even a steroid shot.

Then she had a faint spell at work. From then, shortness of breath.

Took her to the ER last Saturday. Pulmonary Embolism in both lungs and clots in one of her calves.

Then they discovered a mass on her left ovary, which appears to have spread to her pancreas, heart and possibly liver.

I’m terrified, I have mini panic attacks and cold sweat from anxiety. But I’m trying to plan ahead and fight as hard as I can for her.

Should be seeing an oncologist Tuesday.

One thing that scares me is I’ve been told that chemo nukes your immune system. Since I don’t trust Gemini AI, I wanted to ask here.

Is the immune system down basically entirely through chemo, or just periodically following treatments?

What do you do when you have 4 small children, 2 of which who are exposed to all the school illnesses?

Yeah, if we see runny noses and coughing, the answer is obvious- but so many times the “carrier” child hasn’t been the first one to get sick- usually it’s one of the younger siblings, and it’s even been me or my wife first before.

Maybe I’m over thinking it, but man I’m just so… well, I’m sure you know.

Any advice l and reassurance is greatly appreciated.

I gave him a list of my expectations, which ultimately boils down to “maintain the status quo and don’t abuse your mod power”.

I’m going to step back but not disappear. If there are any issues, go ahead and send me a private message, but also give the guy a little bit of grace as he settles into the role and don’t give him too much shit to do.

The sub is mostly chill so I don’t think any of this is gonna be a problem, but hey, it’s still Reddit.

I’m looking for a long time member of this sub who respects the way things operate to join the mod team. Maybe a couple of you. People who will continue the current course of things, and not try to abuse their mod privileges.

I’m not going to get too deep into it but my wife was just diagnosed with cancer and needless to say, being a janitor for Reddit is the last thing I care about right now.

That being said, I worked really hard to make this community a place that’s fun to talk about our favorite guns without all the other Reddit bullshit infecting it, like politics, toxicity and excessive memery, etc- and I’d like to maintain that, with what little of my attention I can afford to give right now.

So, if you’ve been an active member here for a while, if you agree with my wish for this community and to uphold the status quo, please let me know if you’d like to help out. It’s really not too hard, mostly consists of approving/removing reporting posts and keeping an eye on things to limit the fighting and assholery.

Just can’t find myself the energy to watch the mod queue right now.

This concept would cause ripples throughout related productions, specifically the Loki TV series. I won’t detail those changes, that’s a project for another post.

When we leave off in Endgame, we’re expecting a heated rivalry between Peter Quill and Thor.

However, in the weeks that Thor has been traveling with the Guardians, Thor and Peter have become obnoxiously good friends- annoyingly best buddies.

They each learn quickly that Thor is the brother Peter always wanted, and Peter is a suitable replacement for Loki.

The rest of the crew grows increasingly annoyed and disturbed by their rapid onset of brotherly union. Rocket is deeply agitated, Mantis is jealous of their bond and constantly tries to sneak around and leech of off their affection… Nebula quietly struggles with seeing a sibling bond live out before her as it makes her miss Gamora… and Drax is CONSTANTLY on Thor’s ass, talking him down and trying to earn Quill’s brotherly affection for himself - to the extent that he challenges Thor to a fight (which we get to witness - fun sport for Thor, serious drama for Drax).

Once we are settled in to this new dynamic, with some additional push from Nebula, Thor decides that he needs to play wingman for his best bro and help him woo Gamora and convince her to join the crew.

An urgency is placed on the matter when Thor and friends discover that the TVA is actively hunting Gomora, who does not belong in this timeline.

Matters are further complicated when Thor discovers that Loki is working with the TVA- and continues on to learn that it’s a past version of Loki with whom Thor has not yet reconciled.

Where we are right now: Peter and Thor’s pursuit of Gamora for Peter to earn her love has become a race against the Time Variance Authority to save her from being pruned from the timeline, and Thor now has to confront his true emotions, the ones he was burying by using Peter as a stand-in for his “real”brother, and find a way to reconnect to this past version of Loki who did not experience Ragnarok with him.

To make matters worse, an unknown entity with TVA TemPad is sending various baddies from the past, present and future to interfere - though it’s not clear whether they’re being sent after Thor and The Guardians, or Loki’s TVA team… or both. You never know when a portal will open and a bunch of Ultron bots come flying through, or the Chitari, or maybe some other fun surprises.

One theory posited by Loki’s crew is that someone higher up at the TVA is simultaneously experimenting, as well as pruning aberrations by sending them to die at the hands of Thor and The Guardians… Thor believes he’s being tested, and Peter believes the TVA are just abusing their power.

Along the way, Thor and Peter have a breakdown. They realize that they’ve just been using each other to try to bury their pain. Peter is not Loki, and Thor is not Peter’s parents, siblings, friends, Yondu or Gamora. They start to reveal their true feelings about each other, all of the petty annoyances- peter complaining how Thor always static charges the door handles because he thinks it’s funny, no matter how many times people have gotten angry with him about it, and Thor complains about things like Peter always leaving the toilet seat up.

As they work through it, we get confessions from Peter and Thor. Peter confesses to his regret that he doomed the universe by losing his cool when he learned Gomora had been killed by Thanos. He explains that the universe kept taking away the women he loved, that he was helpless to save his mom and then losing Gomora is just too much for him. He doesn’t believe he can redeem himself and it haunts him at night. We occasionally get glimpses of his nightmares, where all he can see is random people being dusted by the snap and calling his name.

Thor attempts to make him feel better by confessing that he had a chance to stop Thanos, but he wanted to make him feel pain out of revenge for his brother so he went for a slower death- And this decision allowed Thanos to wipe out half of existence with a single snap.

When the two realize that they are similarly motivated by seeking redemption for their mistakes born out of the pain of losing the ones they love, they come to a full understanding of each other and realize that they do need each other- just not in the way they originally thought.

They understand each other better than anyone else possibly could, and that will strengthen their ability to work together and fight through this problem as a team.

Now, as uneasy allies, the TVA opts to work WITH The Guardians to take out this latest onslaught of baddies brought in from random places in the timeline. They still don’t have a full understanding of who is doing it or why, but each side understands that this is the priority issue, and everything else will have to take a backseat for the time being.

After making it through the battle, finishing off every last Chitari, Ultron Bot, automated Iron Man suit, Dark Elves, and more, the onslaught ceases. There is no clear indication that it’s truly over, but one can logically deduce that this would’ve been the time for whoever is doing this to just keep hammering them until they fall- so the fact that they’ve stopped implies either a forfeit, or at the very least a tactical retreat. Either way, they seem to be free to go at the moment.

Gomora finally decides to listen to Peter, who explains everything. She is still uneasy about the idea that she would’ve had a romantic relationship with this man, but during this ordeal she has bonded with the crew and has come to respect Peter.. so she agrees to ride with them at least until they find the next Port of Harbor.

Loki knows that his future self had that moment of reconciliation with Thor, and even if he himself is not in a place where he can feel willing to reconcile, he still can’t shake the feeling that he has always had about his brother- genuine, brotherly love. With this sense of duty to his brother, as a favor to help Thor accomplish something good and right, Loki conjures all of his powers and abilities in concert to create sort of an effigy of Gomora to prune while casting a sort of cloak on the real Gamora, manipulating the TVA’s systems so it appears the real Gamora has been pruned - even though it’s only a matter of time before the cloak fails to hide her. But he will cross that bridge when he comes to it. He tells Thor that he cannot leave the TVA at this time and they need to go their separate ways, but that whenever whomever is responsible for throwing all the baddies across time at them decides to come into the light and reveal themselves, he can expect a text message. Thor is content with this, but gives Loki a very one-sided hug. Loki’s amused smirk as he walks away reveals to the audience that he appreciated the embrace.

Since all of Loki’s TVA team died in the fight (Mobius was not present), he doesn’t have to worry about hiding this from anybody. Convenient, yes? Hmm.

To wrap things up, The Guardians deliver Thor to an unspecified location that Thor hints to be the start of his next journey. I actually don’t have an answer for this because I haven’t thought that through yet, but it would tie in to Doomsday.

Peter and Thor say their goodbyes, the rest of the crew offers a solemn goodbye now that they have really come to like Thor, except for Drax who gives him the middle finger as he walks away and puts his arm around Peter’s waist, as Peter just stares at him in bewilderment.

The Guardians fly away, all together once more, though Gamora is still keeping Peter at arms length.

“Bring It On Home to Me” comes over the speakers in the ship, and we cut to credits.

Alright… so there’s my rough concept for the movie I wish we’d gotten instead of Love and Thunder. I know it’s incomplete and messy in places but I hope this gives a sense of what I’m going for. I only touched on a few points of humor, obviously the movie would be full of it, but I didn’t want to really get into it too much.

I also don’t know how this affects Guardians 3 because I haven’t seen it

Thoughts?

I’m pretty positive. I’m right, but I just wanted to consult people and make sure that I’m not completely overlooking something obvious.

My father-in-law’s motorhome wouldn’t start. I went over there and check the battery, it was at 9.2 volts.

He has another vehicle with the same battery. This vehicle sat parked and unused for a month. I checked the battery voltage on it, 12.4. I swapped that battery into the motorhome, and it fired right up.

Let the motorhome sit for a couple of hours and it was down to 11.9. Alternator charging at 14.4 when the engine is running.

Let it sit overnight, and it was down to 8.6.

Now I’m coming to the same conclusion probably most of you are, the motorhome has a draw that is sucking down the battery when it’s shut off.

I feel like I confirmed this by taking the battery that had been sitting for a month and still had 12.4, putting it in the motorhome, and watching the voltage drop overnight.

But my father-in-law says he feels like it’s just a bad battery. Two bad batteries.

Is he completely wrong or is there something I’m not thinking about?

I’ve tried numerous cars, tunes and strategies and it seems like no matter what, I can lead the entire race but on the last two laps the AI just starts shoving me out of turns. I don’t know what to do about that. I try to block going into the turn but it screws up my line so badly that they just pull away with ease… but if I stick to my line, they hit me on the inside and push me wide.

I’m so over trying to race fairly. Anyone have a cheat tune so I can get out of this headache of a race?

Rule 7: Whenever you may encounter an issue with a Tisas product, you’re allowed and encouraged to share your issues with this community, as well as your experience with customer service.

But, when your issue is resolved (or for that matter, not) please be sure to update your post with the conclusion.

Do not just leave a comment detailing the conclusion, edit your post and make a new paragraph right at the top, marked as an edit with the date for future reference.

Rule 15.

I know some people like AI, but I’m willing to die on this hill- generative AI is the death of human creativity and communication. I see no reason for sites like Reddit to exist if users are just posting whatever ChatGPT came up with. Worse, AI being used as a crutch will dull the skills and abilities of people.

If you use AI to generate how you want your gun to look after customization, or to write your posts for you - whatever the topic may be, or any other usage at all… your content will be removed and you’ll be notified about the rule, because there’s a fair chance you just didn’t know. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Yes, we WILL make mistakes and pin something as AI that really isn’t. When we do make a mistake, just message us and we’ll take a closer look to verify the content, and restore it if it passes scrutiny.

Yes, I am indeed creating and enforcing a rule based on my own preferences instead of taking the democratic approach and asking for your approval - this is the one and only time I will do that. If this rule is a deal breaker for you, I’m sorry to hear that. I’m making a stand, however futile that decision may be in the end… but maybe I can at least maintain this one little alcove of the internet where AI slop doesn’t intrude.

First Light is a great game, but not without its faults - one of which being some fairly weak boss fights.

One stand-out example is the final fight with Murto. You're in a warehouse, and you can't attack him head-on because he deflects your fists with ease. Instead, you're forced to sneak around and lure him into environmental traps which you trigger with you watch.

But... Not all that long ago, we beat both him and his brother's asses in a fist fight... so it just doesn't make sense why we can't get the drop on him and slap his gun away, then pummel him. In fact, that's exactly how this boss battle ends (in a cut scene).

It's clear that the intent was to force the player to use their watch to defeat him, but the way it's executed is so contrived, it feels unfair.

Here's how I think it could be greatly improved.

---------------------

As Bond enters the elevator to the basement, he realizes the control panel is locked with a keypad code. At this moment, he's caught. The guards approach him with guns drawn, asking him where he thinks he's going. Bond makes up an excuse about looking for a phone booth or something, but one of the guards (a Webb operative, as opposed to museum security) realizes that this is the guy they were told to watch out for. They mention taking him to the basement to see "the boss" (who Bond assumes is Murto). Knowing they're taking him directly to where he wants to go, Bond submits and lets them detain him in cuffs.

On the elevator ride down, Bond manages to knock out his captors. The elevator delivers him into the basement, but he's trapped - he can't operate the elevator because the control panel requires the keypad code every time.

Bond's first course of action in the warehouse is to try to use his watch laser to cut his cuffs apart - part of his plan that he came up with just a moment ago.

In a cut scene, he finagles his right hand to undo the watch clasp, taking the watch in his right hand, and attempts to cut the joint in between the bracelets- but in his rush, he burns himself with the laser and shouts in pain, dropping the watch. This is immediately followed by gunfire from a silenced pistol from across the way - Bond has exposed himself to Murto. He crouches down and collects the watch before darting behind cover.

Gameplay:

Bond darts into cover and we see Murto approaching with his weapon light shining in our direction.

There is a new option to use the Action Button to cut the cuffs. Press this button - Bond will begin using his laser to cut the cuffs. A meter shows up on screen - you have to steady the laser beam so you don't burn yourself, and you can't let it get too hot or the metal will burn you.

This attempt was brief - the light and sound will aggro Murto so we have to abandon this attempt and run from him.

Hiding in a new spot to cut the cuffs isn't good enough - Murto will follow you, he's not totally blind or deaf, and he will see the light and hear the laser, and hone in on you quickly.

Bond has to use his watch to trigger traps to stun Murto, giving him time to try to cut through his hand cuffs.

The fight lasts as long as it takes the player to finally cut through the cuffs. Once Bond's hands are free, all you have to do is get the drop on Murto to trigger the final fist fight.

After the fight, we learn that

Cutting the Cuffs:

1. Stun Murto buy using the watch to trigger a trap. Each trap has a different duration of stun.
2. Collect supplies to recharge the watch as normal. A different animation will be used showing Bond turning around and swinging his arms up from behind him to grab the supplies.
3. Bond cannot use the full power of the laser to cut the metal like he does with door locks - it would severely injure him, so he uses a lower power setting (stronger than the one he uses to temporarily blind enemies). This is why Bond cannot cut the cuffs instantly, as he can with door locks and other things.
4. Use right analog stick to keep the laser on target to avoid hitting Bond's hands. Hitting his hands too many times in a row will cause him to drop the watch (he will automatically pick it back up, but it will cost you time).
5. Use short controlled bursts of the laser to avoid heating the metal too much and burning Bond.
6. As soon as the cuffs are cut apart, a cut scene takes over showing Bond putting the watch back on his left wrist and preparing to ambush Murto.

I think this revision works because:

1. It gives a legitimate reason as to why Bond cannot simply attack Murto instead of the abitrary, contrived "because we said so" reason currently in the game
2. It serves as a pop quiz AND a training for using stealth and the watch in concert
3. A mild callback to the non-canonical Never Say Never Again scene where Bond uses his watch laser to free himself from chains.
4. It follows the overall gameplay formula of stealth first, stealth/gadget combo second, fists last.
5. It removes the arbitrary Boss Health Bar and replaces it with a health bar on your cuffs instead - You're not doing damage to Murto by stunning him, you're buying yourself time to cut through your cuffs. Of course, they'd have to adjust the other boss fights to remove the health bars for parity sake... but still.

There’s even unique dialog for it.

What other things did it take you too long to realize?

It puts a grin on my face every time I lay the smack down on somebody in a room, then step outside and tell the guards running to see what’s going on that I found him that way, and just walking away. It’s such a James Bond thing to do, too.

As a huge Hitman fan, I always thought there should be some sort of mechanic where 47 could talk his way out of trouble - get caught trespassing, “I need to use the bathroom”. Get caught in a minor illegal action (using a computer or something, “My apologies, I thought this was a public terminal.” You would get one free bluff per disguise, any further bluffs would require getting your hands on Intel or other information to help you talk your way out, with diminishing returns.

The Bluffing system in First Light is largely what I wanted for Hitman, implemented differently, of course.

Looking forward to an infinite instinct mod and videos where bond just bullshits his way through the entire game.
