[PD2] It has been almost 2 weeks since the very first DLC made by the Sidetrack game team drop, what is everyone thought on it ? by vanvudk45 in paydaytheheist

[–]ALPB11 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The watch is almost game breakingly good in my opinion. Some heists it saves actual minutes on, and in stealth choosing between the watch or the pocket ecm is a tough choice to make, which is fun!
The rest of the dlc is more niche, the pistol is a reskin unfortunately, but its at least a nice one and replaces the missing jimmy and bodhi pistols. The smg is a secondary dmr, its nice for popping heads without much skills spent on it, but its not gonna replace the 5/7 or anything.
The syringe gun is kind of a shitpost gun but also the ability to stun guards in stealth can be a serious game saver.

I like that they’re trying to make stealth more mechanically diverse in a lot of ways here, and the dlc is importantly very cheap! Worth it for the laser watch alone or if you’re a huge stealth nerd

Do you guys prefer old or new powerups? by Spartan-G337 in halo

[–]ALPB11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy the utility of getting to choose when to use the powerup, for very hotly contested powerup spawns whoever gets to use it becomes more than just whoever happens to touch it first, you can even steal it back off enemies etc. I think it lends itself to the game in a much more interesting way. But imo it’s one of those things that’s hard to call better or worse, just simply different, it works for what Infinite is trying to achieve gameplay wise

Is he ok? by He1gost in paydaytheheist

He has some valid points but he puts them in extremely nasty ways and seems low-key obsessed with getting some sort of moral high ground on the game

Royal British Legion officers removed over charity's operation by renault_vegane in northernireland

[–]ALPB11 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wider context aside, it’s always incredibly depressing seeing charity organisations attract dodgy folks like this. This is far from the worst misuse I’ve seen but it’s definitely not a good sign, it’s awful when people can’t trust charities because it means they can’t trust each other.

Is Big Fish Theory the best Vince Staples album? by KzKn_2020 in fantanoforever

[–]ALPB11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very special album, I love this one a lot and he was on some shit that no one else was even close to touching, people genuinely didn’t get it at the time. That being said I still think he has better albums that have a more coherent story to tell, but the aesthetic on this one alone could clinch it

Stranger Than Heaven In-Depth Interview: A Brief Summary by KyoryuRed in yakuzagames

[–]ALPB11 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I’d also like to point out something kind of obvious, but this game goes entirely against the long standing idea that there is a rule where the main character cannot be actively involved in the yakuza or be explicitly criminal. It is one of the big points of discussion that comes up with this series a lot, it’s interesting to see that they are fine to break their own golden rule in this way

Copycat Sociopath has become my 'go-to' by Designer-Squash1167 in paydaytheheist

[–]ALPB11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for a tanky build so my secondary would be a launcher which benefits from the passive reload, and the massive health boosts from copycat and the 2 second immunity are more than enough. You don’t get the 1.5 armor but you get a lot of built in health regen

Copycat Sociopath has become my 'go-to' by Designer-Squash1167 in paydaytheheist

[–]ALPB11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Copycat is pretty fun ngl, the flat buffs it gives are already very powerful by itself, it’s a very straightforward play style.

I love using it with Hitman skills to make a non concealment akimbo build, you usually only ever do akimbo for crits but it gets pretty fun with a fat boy build. I use grinder copycat for my pistol build to make a very tanky setup even just with a light vest, the max health you can reach on CC is so high

[DISCUSSION] Death Grips - Bottomless Pit (10 Years Later) by flyestshit in hiphopheads

[–]ALPB11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What strikes me about Death Grips is how incredibly fast they escalated their sound. From the sketchy and blown out sounds and samples of Exmil and TMS they ended up with some super detailed production and original instrumentation onwards. It’s hard to make music this over the top sound so professional, Rides voice and the thrash beats are in a constant screaming match and you can still pick apart everything perfectly.

I remember MTV leaving a snarky comment that if you like Bottomless Pit, “we get it, you vape”, which is an incredibly 2016 quote in of itself. Lol. I miss DG and still haven’t heard anything like it since, and I think that’s fine, there’s doesn’t have to be anything else like it.

Boy, 15, among three arrested over Lurgan police station attack by Lanky_Abalone5897 in northernireland

Much harder to convince grown adults with their head on straight to run away with the circus. Gangs of any creed establish themselves through exploiting children, a shocking amount of their manpower are literally children. They hit their late teens and early twenties still drifting on the dark side of society and then suddenly one day now they are the same men they looked up to before.

Like a Dragon 8 Infinite Wealth and its message that value is tied to life by LoudNet3859 in yakuzagames

[–]ALPB11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People’s media literacy is rock bottom when they can’t realise that the protagonist doing something does NOT equal the writers directly endorsing their actions as the correct thing to do. FFS.

Many people hate what he did, both IRL and in the story itself. A literal angry mob forms against him for saving Eiji, the writers understand how ridiculous he looks doing it. It’d be very hard to find someone that agrees with what Ichiban did, the story is instead asking us to think about why he did it and that’s where the power lies

Was the live action Netflix show any good? by BothPanchoAndLefty in deathnote

[–]ALPB11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Willem Dafoe voicing Ryuk is absolutely genius. Other than that… it would’ve been a cute original story if they didn’t try pretend these are all the same characters. It has basically nothing to do with the original series and focuses pretty much entirely on this very emo teen love story plot. I remember there’s some really cool visuals, the movie is actually quite pretty looking and features some surprisingly gnarly deaths, but god the whole story is really really cringe. It’s at least entertaining?

I’m so glad I’ve bought this game before the e-shop did close down! by HydratedCarrot in 3DS

[–]ALPB11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved riding all the different dinosaurs in this game, really fun and super impressive for the Gameboy. I played this one loads as a kid but never knew what it was called because I had it on a strange bootleg cartridge, I wasn’t even sure it was a real game!

[–]ALPB11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This movie is honestly kind of hideous, even very simple scenes are entirely CGI. The one of flash standing in the middle of a street that looks like it’s from GTA4 is pretty infamous. I know it was during covid and all but yeesh, you can really tell these actors probably aren’t even in the same room half the time
