Remembrance

I finally got around to playing Holiday Hoarders now that December is over. Figuring out a speedrun route for all the challenges and SA (without looking up anything) was the most fun I've had in Paris in a while.

I did The Lupei Sensitivity a couple of months ago when hacking laptops briefly worked differently: it counted as blending in rather than a suspicious action (except for one suspicious moment when starting the hack). I guess my run no longer counts, but... I would never go back and do that SA run again while also worrying about the hacking.
I was telling everyone then to do the laptop-hacking escalations ASAP, in case they change it back (which they did)!
The Meiko Incarnation was a lot like The Food Critic in that there were no perfect, neat solutions. You had to do something the hard way, one way or another. But yeah, it really needed clearer objectives for level 5.

Get the fireworks remote and circumcision knife as AV crew.
Go downstairs and get the apricot and coconut.
Disguise as the Sheikh. Enter the attic, knock out a bodyguard with the fuse box distraction, disguise as the bodyguard, and hide the body.
Get the bust, saber, and microphone, then return to the security station. Knock out Santa when he appears, and hide the body for later.
Get the cowboy bust, climb down the ladder, and go down to get the cannonball, toy tank, battle axe, a propane tank from the kitchen, and finally the shuriken.
Go out the back doors, climb up the pipe to the top floor balcony, open the present to get three bricks, enter the attic again, and disguise as Santa.
Climb down the ladder again, get to the basement from the inside stairs, and enter the room where the thieves will meet. You can now set up the remaining challenges.
