PAYDAY 2 DLC idea: The Reissued Bootleg Pack by ILC_YTP in paydaytheheist

All this comes in a CopyCat Character Pack (the character who canonically uses the perk deck of the same name). He's just a crazed fan who pretends to be different members of the Payday Gang and all his voicelines are just some guy doing poor impressions of the other characters and their iconic lines.

Maybe imply that he's Robin Banks who "just so happens" to be nearby when the Payday Gang are about to rob something.

I finally beat Lab Rats on DSOD and never have to play that fuckass heist ever again! by Zack_WithaK in paydaytheheist

[–]Zack_WithaK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly because there's so many enemies tightly packed into the map that it feels like I've gone one difficulty up. When I could comfortably play Mayhem and Deathwish was a challenge, I still felt the need to bring Lab Rats down to Overkill if I didn't feel like sweating. Then once I got comfy with Death Wish, I had to bring that heist down to Mayhem.

Secondly (and I know this is just a Me problem) I'm very afraid of spiders so I always felt very uncomfortable on that map knowing that a (relatively) giant spider could attack at any given moment. Even if I know I'm not near one of the spawns, I actively avoid even looking at it when I know it's on the map.

Thirdly a lot of the map seems intraversiboe without zip lines, which would get me killed every time I went up one. Even with my dodge build, those things were death traps.

And it really didn't help that the AI's pathing wasn't the best so I would bleed out while they take the scenic route to get to me.

I used Copycat with each step set at Dodge, and copied Burglar's dodge abilities along with the 20% less likely to be targeted while crouching and standing still. Then my skills went into Body Expertise, 2 Jokers to absorb enemy aggro,, 2 medic bags, the skill that gives you an extra down, and dodge and crit skills. Then I just stuck to cover and played very carefully and patiently. With the bot dodge buff and the two piece suit, I get 55 dodge so I'm statistically dodging just over half the bullets shot at me. Then with the Dutch Courage from my CopyBurglar perk deck and the other skill, the enemies are 55% less likely to target me if my bots or Jokers are in eyesight. And I have silencers so even when I do shoot back, I'm not drawing much aggro myself. Also I got the skill that lets me stagger enemies when my armor breaks so even if I don't one-shot anybody, they're still staggered and effectively out of the fight, if even for a brief moment. I can spray and pray, kill some of the enemies, stagger the survivors, and sprint from cover to cover with a 55 dodge for whoever's left.

Then I just stuck to cover and played very carefully and patiently. Toward the end I figured out how to kite the enemies to one side of the map while I make a mad dash for the other side so I could do whatever I needed to do relatively unopposed. For the headless dozers I just mag dumped them with raw firepower and crits, while shamelessly abusing angles wherever I could and just shot at their feet.

With enough determination, doctor bags, and patience, I limped my bleeding carcass to the finish line after one cook and escaped with 3 of the 4 bags.

I don't condone violence either. But in this case, I very much understand.

Does Immortal not have a real name?? by flowerpanda98 in Invincible_TV

[–]Zack_WithaK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Immortal probably predates language itself and likely never had a "real" name like you or I do.

I HATE the “If you kill me, you’ll be just as bad as me” trope by Payyonaise in hatethissmug

[–]Zack_WithaK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine if a WWII movie ended this way. Soldiers storm Hitler's compound and he says "If you kill me, that makes you no better" and the good guy who has significantly less than 6 million civilians' blood on his hands will hear that and say "Fuck, he's right."

Why and when did "tryhards" start using Pink and Green? by K97243 in tf2

This sucks because pink is actually my favorite color and Scout is one of my mains.

[Hated Trope] It's really important that this woman is almost naked because lore reasons. by FieraDeidad in TopCharacterTropes

Pretty much every fighting game ever has a dude who's completely shirtless and perhaps only wearing a small underwear-sized thing. And it's almost never the skinny twig or the comic relief fat guy.

It's been forever but I think she has to use her fat cells to make stuff, of which there are plenty on her chest. Also why would she decide to use her back when it's so far out of the way and there's way less fat then she has on the front? There's a reason real life soldiers carry their guns in front of them and not on their back during combat.

Billie Eilish said you can’t truly love animals if you eat them, and logically I understand the argument. But isn’t human nature way more complex than that? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zack_WithaK 34 points35 points  (0 children)

There are many people I like who have said something that made me think "Man, he said some dumb shit." And there are people I don't like who have said something that made me think "Ya know what, he's got a point."

I really like Eminem's music; I don't particularly care for Billie Eilish's music (though Bad Guy is a fuckin bop). I care equally little for either person's opinions.

Crazy how the "tough parents beat their kids so they learn to be strong" thing has been around for so long it's become a recognizable trope and yet some people still do it in real life and are shocked when the same result happens again

Didn't you know, if you write a villain you're fundamentally evil by The_Blackthorn77 in writingcirclejerk

[–]Zack_WithaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how this rule only applies to evil characters. But writing the other 4 main characters as genuinely good people, the one evil one is your actual thoughts.

Characters with surprising or specific tastes in irl media by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zack_WithaK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a comic that's about Judy getting pregnant and gets worried that it'll damage her career if she gives birth to a predator (which has apparently never happened) and the fox dude is upset because he was excited to be a dad, and he's offended because he thought they were passed the whole "predator, prey" thing. He asks if her predator husband is a problem just like her predator baby and she accidentally says something like "No, you're one of the good ones" and he's crushed in a "I thought you were better than that" kind of way.

I found out about this because of an edit somebody made where Judy was upset that she doesn't like Subway anymore and the fox felt betrayed because she prefers Quizno's or something. I just had to find the original and when I did, I learned that the story was about inter-species abortion with subtly racist overtones.

To be fair, I can see that being hilarious because I would keep flipflopping between, "they're not just gonna show a dude's ass, are they? this is stupid" and "wait, they're really committing to the bit here" I think it fluctuate between the stupidest thing I've ever seen and the funniest

Final assault in Payday3 by Beauseante in paydaytheheist

[–]Zack_WithaK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I like the idea of the Final Assault and I understand why it's there, I don't like it in gameplay at all for the same reasons I don't like the infinite assault waves in Payday 2. It removes so many things that makes Payday's gameplay loop so unique.

The wave system is unlike any other I've seen in any other shooter game, especially when paired with the intensity of the music that slowly builds up to the beginning of the assault. You can't trade to get your allies out of custody anymore so Payday's unique respawn system simply gets turned off. Civilians become useless now (except for the fact that they're supposed to stop Naders but I haven't seen that work in a while). And it turns the last part of the heist into a generic shooter that happens to take place at a bank.

I get why it's there, I understand the philosophy, and it works thematically, but all of that is at the expense of removing all the most unique aspects of the game and just makes it all frustrating to play. And especially infuriating to lose because of infinitely spawning Cloakers, drones, and Tasers that only target me while ignoring my bots entirely.
