He knows lore alright (the twisted interpretation he made up in his head)

Well, I’m not saying that it was deliberately set up to be foreshadowing, just that it turned out that the first two happened to be examples of the types of targets we’d be getting. I would actually not be surprised if Jasper Knight had not originally been intended to be connected to Providence at the time development began on that mission, until they turned their attention to where the story was going, decided to throw Janus in as a target, thereby making the connection, and decided to toss in Janus blowing Knights cover with the CIA as a bonus to seal the deal.
It just never occurred to me. I mean, I kinda got it with Knight, but Ritter was just another dude until we got the H3 ETs and it turned out that, not only were a whopping four of them serial killers, but two of those same killers were yet more art thieves. I never really paid attention to Ritter’s occupation until playing it again last night and he told Norfolk that he normally deals in art and I rolled my eyes, thinking, “art, again.” And that’s when the realization hit.
All of the lore that I have filed in my head like an encyclopedia is what IOI has directly presented in the games, with some supplementary material they’ve provided filling in some gaps where necessary. Anytime I state something as being lore that seems contradictory, that is because IOI themselves have created the contradiction, and I pull from what they have already provided before as the answer, while they just throw stuff in without taking care to think about how it affects the established story that they themselves have already created for this world. I approach the matter like a court judge and rely on precedent. Nothing I present as lore is made up in my head, barring situations where IOI themselves kept the matter murky and we are all forced to fill in gaps from lack of information.

People might’ve already seen this earlier this year, but I was checking out more BAFTA stuff on Jane Perry’s win.
She and David Bateson reunited IRL for an interview at the BAFTAs after her win.
In the interview David shows off a temporary barcode tattoo at the back of his head.
Apparently his wife and kids want him to get a permanent one for real lol (at 2:02)

The description for the Ether pamphlet in Ambrose has been changed, filling in the Caruso virus confusion a few of us had (Apologies for the quality of the photo which I took off my TV)

Aaaaahhh… that finally provides an answer to the biggest flaw in Caruso’s virus: that you need to obtain the target’s DNA before you can program the virus to kill them, and if you’re close enough to them to obtain a sample of DNA, then whoever is collecting that should be able to just kill them while they’re there, negating the idea of the virus replacing traditional assassins. But, if Caruso/Ether/Providence mainly intended to use it on the wealthy and powerful, the same kind of people who’d be willing to offer their DNA to be “mapped” and “stored off-world” in a digital format, then that’s how they’d get the DNA from the people they’d want to kill. Since Providence would probably end up empowering governments behind the scenes to begin official DNA collection from all members of the population in the name of security, they’d eventually get the DNA of everyone in the world. Finally, a correcting to the loophole.

To be fair, it would’ve still been a great project for shady organisations who hire people and can’t be sure that said people won’t try to disappear on them after gaining knowledge they’d rather not have out there. Take their DNA as part of the hiring/onboarding process (can even call it a drug test) and then should someone decide they want to disappear and try to whistle blow, you have the perfect insurance. Much less useful for the kind of high-profile targets 47 usually goes after, though.

ICA19 Ice Baller is actually just a silenced Bartoli.
If I’m correct it’s also the first silenced Bartoli in the game as-well.

Thats what I’m blooming saying.

Oh come on! There has to be some consistency in universe. Baller has always meant his signature firearm and then in WOA it expanded to any 1911 style firearm which is fine. This is too much. Should we call the the WA2000 all black and orange the Tiger Stripes Precision Baller? Maybe the poison should be called liquid baller? The coin 
will be called distraction baller and the ceramic gun can be undetectable baller.
no! No!! NO!!!

It might be, but I’m not sure what the ICA DTI Stealth counts as…
Because the muzzle(? - or top part of the gun) as well as the handle and mag well, trigger guard… But it does have that facet underneath the barrel/in front of the trigger where it looks like one might mount a laser sight.
Details aren’t 1:1, but (IMO) they’re very close/similar.
Edit: FWIW, I googled DTI hand gun and all I got was a machine gun type of gun. So I don’t know what reasoning there is for IOI to give this gun that name.

Honestly the DTI is a very weird amalgamation of ideas since it’s one of those weapons that got a heavy “redesign” of sorts for HITMAN 3. On the Wiki it’s considered part of the Bartoli family of pistols I never perceived it as such since there’s atleast for me enough visual distinction for the DTI where it felt like its own thing ergo why I never considered that pistol specifically initially.
Compared to the Ice Baller where it’s clearly not a traditional Baller and imo is just a liberal use of the term cause it flows better compared to Ice Bartoli.

That’s gonna depend on how it functions. If the Ice Baller can kill in two shots to the torso, it’s a Baller, regardless of how it looks. If it takes more than two, then it’s a lesser pistol, as it’s appearance suggests.

Hey, I didn’t name the thing. I (like other people) only pointed out the undeniable similarities.
If this is presented to you as a “dog” 
, and other people say it bears a striking resemblance to a cat… Why would you persist in calling it a dog?
Or, you know? I’ll go with Baller too. But I’m adding ‘T’ at the end. Baller-T. That sounds close enough to Bartoli. And the next time before a meal I’ll say bone apple teet.
Not meaning to give you a hard time. This is all rather silly, actually. 
Dude, I go to a meme generator. I’m not an artist, I’m a scientist. This is funny because it incorporates lyrics from an actual song, unaltered, that shoves this ridiculous argument into everyone’s face from the perspective of the pistol itself. It’s meant to induce a slight chuckle, not not over the genius of its creation method.

Yes it is. The only things that aren’t funny are jokes people don’t get.
