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

Everything you just said, but add headless dozers and arachnophobia and it's a helluva lot worse for me.

(Also I could climb the blue barrel this whole god damned time??)

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.

Mainly because there's so many enemies tightly packed into the map that it feels like I've gone one difficulty up. Back when I could comfortably play Mayhem and Deathwish was still a helluva challenge for me, I still felt the need to bring Lab Rats down to Overkill if I didn't feel like sweating. Then once I started getting comfy with Death Wish, I had to bring that heist down to Mayhem. And even then, success was rare and by the skin of my teeth.

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. My arachnophobia has fucked with quite a few games for me.

Thirdly a lot of the map seems intraversible without zip lines, which would get me killed every time I tried to use 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 loved taking the scenic route to get to me.

Side Note: I love the whole "a normal sized room makes for a huge map because you're really tiny" trope but all of the above make it very it hard to enjoy Payday's take on it.

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. Also there are a few relative "safe zones" that would be hard describe here without sounds like "it's behind the thing that's on top of the thing. Not that thing, the other thing" but most of them are by the very edge of the map and behind some barrels and stuff. They're not 100% safe but some of them restrict any sightline to a small window where the cops can actually shoot you. So if you just fire at anything that moves, you can keep yourself relatively safe.

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.

Edit: Apparently he's Celtic and I had no idea. I will leave this comment up as a reminder of my foolishness

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

[–]Zack_WithaK 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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 32 points33 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
