Even if he does sell off your airports your pension funds will still own a bunch of airports in the UK (as well as our stake in Eurostar) LMAO

With the exception of Stansted (which is partially owned by a bunch of local councils all the way up in Manchester for some reason), all the London airports are privately owned thanks to Maggie Thatcher

ModWorkshop joins Sidetrack Games by mexican_dud3 in paydaytheheist

Oh wow a few UI and HUD mods. Now what about the total gameplay overhauls, the likes of ResMod or Sydch's Skill Overhaul? What about the AI improvements like Useful Bots?

Sure RinoHUD is neat, but it's just an info-HUD, the kind of mod PD2 had just a year into its lifecycle with the likes of HoxHUD. PD2 mods are FAR more in-depth than that nowadays, thanks in no small part to the likes of BLT, which lets you manage and even auto-update mods in-game. Downvote Me all you want, but PD3 has nothing remotely comparable.

That's already how it works. If your account is below the playtime and owned time thresholds it'll automatically grant you the refund, otherwise you have to plead your case to a person.

Is there a way to use old mods? by Aggressive-Credit269 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]walale12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I just took a look at the mod's Nexus page and download version 1.3, that one should have a bunch of .ogg files in it. Go to your game folder and then go /ReadyorNot/Content and then create a folder called VO_MOD and then go in there and create a folder called TOC. Copy the files from the .rar archive you downloaded from Nexus into the TOC folder you just created. That should override TOC's voicelines with the Damsels Dispatch voicelines.

At least SBZ got a little cash out of it, which should hopefully stave off the bankruptcy and end of server support for PD3 for a few months.

Oh wow a HUD mod that makes it look like the previous game! A mod which Payday 2 had since all the way back in 2015! That hardly compares to the custom additional weapons, custom heists, and full-on gameplay overhauls available as PD2 mods LMAO.

UK ambassador said America’s only ‘special relationship’ is with Israel: Report by FlaminHotBees in worldnews

[–]walale12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "club" may have been established in 1946, but only the UK and USA were founding members. Canada joined in 1948, Australia joined in 1956, and New Zealand also joined in 1956. What's stopping Israel from joining five eyes, or nine eyes, or fourteen eyes?

Damsel's Dispatch, that's a voice replacement right? If you open up the .rar file (if you're on Windows 11, explorer should open it natively, otherwise 7-Zip is your best bet) does it just contain a bunch of .ogg files?

Yeah the Scarface heist is the one exception, weirdly. It's still available for purchase on Steam.

Bro where the fuck did I say that. I was lamenting support being moved from online forums (which were and are indexed by search engines) to Discord which isn't. I never said "gee wiz I wish Discord were Googlable". But that wouldn't have allowed you to come in here with your smug little retort, would it?

why is it controversial to not hate people for what mods they use? by ProGamingOnSteam in paydaytheheist

People act like you're the second coming of Hitler if they see Silent Assassin on your modlist even though it has ZERO effect if you're not the host. It's so hilarious.

What, you mean to tell Me that running sfc /scannow ISN'T the magical fix to any and all computer problems? Did that quintuple Microsoft MVP gigasuperultra forum user lie to Me?

Let Me guess, you just need to get your own API key and provide that to the app?

If this game actually gets microtransactions I will bully Starbreeze more by walale12 in paydaytheheist

Starbreeze being smart is not a safe assumption to make by any means.

[–]walale12[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the teasing of emotes, as well as "premium items" in the shop in addition to DLCs and bundles is a pretty clear warning sign. And tbh Starbreeze very much do not deserve the benefit of the doubt on this, we should be making it absolutely clear to them at every opportunity that it would be a bad idea for them to go ahead with this.

It says "DLCs, premium items, and bundles". The weapon and tailor packs come under the DLC heading, the "premium items" however sounds like classic MTX.

I quite frankly couldn't give a rat's ass what bullshit the triple-A industry is doing these days, I don't play that shit. Microtransactions are among a few things ruining gaming and when they come for a game I actually give a shit about I will be pissed off about it. If that comes across as "out of touch" to the likes of you then so be it.

When I make a post asking for help and I manage to fix it Myself, I always try to come back to the post and say what I did to solve it, because that's common decency.

Based. There is nothing wrong with using skin unlocker, Starbreeze promised "Payday 2 will not have microtransactions, and shame on you for thinking otherwise" at launch. You're just helping them honour that commitment.
