I can tune a fish.
Something actually interesting that came to mind thanks to the furry heist nonsense is a neat gimmick we haven't seen before: Using multiple pieces of information to pick a VIP out of a crowd. Big Oil with people, basically. And instead of the clues being obfuscated, the targets are inexplicably cowering in place before you even arrive constantly on the move.

Seems like something that could work in a smaller, stealth-only heist about the size of Car Shop. Maybe a Nightclub variant? Or perhaps as just one part of a larger job with phases ala No Mercy or Alesso.

Realistically, although I could make it sound cool, a mobile target isn't really feasible- pathing differences would give them away almost instantly and would make clues irrelevant. It'd be really hard to do otherwise- you'd need to have a set of "possibles" and give them all equivalent or cycling paths and escorts- the pathing required would break a game with much more focused NPC pathing, let alone payday. Even the hitman series, which is built around such things, doesn't do that.

Based on reports I think it's currently pulling from the same list as the safe on Lab Rats.

Also Slurocker? Like Slur and I combined into one terrible goon? Holy poo poo that is a horrible thought.

As far as mega masks go, every idea so far has been great and I concur. That said, not much gets me to switch from Jean Claude. A mega variant might change that. But I doubt it will get one. That said I rarely play PD2 anymore, and with HLM2's editor finally out I don't think I'll play anything else ever again.

Not to defend the rebalance but the M1014 is pretty good now with 000 buck. Also I don't think anyone has mentioned that the Judge has been virtually untouched as far as nerfs go, but also received the range buff. I thought the thing was borderline OP before but it is OP as gently caress now and amazing.

Does that mean sticking accuracy on a Judge is probably a good idea? Also, Ice Pick or Kunai? The attack delay on the Ice Pick was slightly annoying when I tried it once.

I just started playing again last night and reinstalled Goonmod this morning, mutators definitely worked when I did a test around noon.

I had National Guard, Bomb Squad, fast movement and dozer shields enabled and can confirm that at least the last three worked. I didn't survive long enough to tell whether there were actually more cops than usual but it seemed like it probably worked too.

Ice pick is more concealable and hits like a truck.

On the other hand, the kunai makes people puke. :shrug:

I always shoot for accuracy since the rebalance. Accuracy gives more leeway/range for hipfiring because of the awful stance multipliers. I actually think the HE Judge is less impressive post rebalance since they nerfed HE damage across the board, but a Judge without any custom ammo is pretty great. The range buff is basically a flechette rounds for free without any of the downsides, and increasing the pellet count to 12 makes multi-kills super easy. I was able to hold those sides rooms near the 2nd timelock on Diamond DW pretty much on my own with it.

Yes.

I don't know who's speaking since the writing design is a mess somehow despite being a loving visual novel with a labeled text box, but the bird chick who I guess is saying one of those quotes has big bird anime titties in her business blazer and muses about the possibility of other worlds that have a Japan but don't have furred/feathered people in it... crazy!!!

... Alright, I'll give 'em credit, that's a surprisingly clever end-around. And considering furries basically line their fursuits with disposable income, making and selling a game on Steam aimed at them with low-effort put in seems like a good way to make a quick buck.

Entrepreneurial spirit, that... dog, I guess. What the gently caress kinda dog is that supposed to be, I dunno.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
So! So, I feel a little responsible for that, so some interesting little design artifacts from Santa's Workshop-

1. You can track elf progress by seeing what's in their present. First, they add four packages of "Snow", then two bags of "Christmas Trees", then I believe two "Snowmen".
2. It appears very likely that originally you would have to run snow, trees and snowmen to the elves- there are locations in the map that appear to be planned as spawnpoints or supply locations for each of these. You better believe this is coming back on Death Vox!
3. The traps Vlad gives you, and heck, most of the map in general appear easy to swap into a zombie game.

And some santa's workshop tips:
1. If you didn't already know, it's fairly safe to leave bags in the chimney in front of the warehouse and just wait for it to open, auto-depositing your loot. You can cover it from inside the workshop with ease. This makes ignoring the back deposit point a good way to get 100 bags without difficulty. The downside is that depending on how it works you might wind up with fewer bags of equiment. The rate/conditions of those spawns is still unclear and they're not too helpful, anyways.
2. The vault countdown timer appears to be vulnerable to the same old spawn slot exploit. This is part of why you can only begin it between waves, to minimize/redirect enemies on the map. During the countdown, spawn points are reset to stay arranged around the countdown area.
3. If you stay away from the workshop window that's closest to it, and stick to the other side of the street, it may be possible to keep the turret from activating when going to secure bags in the front.

I have never once owned that game, nor do I have any desire to do so. Furries and their horrible subculture/injokes/perversions aside, it looks like a really bad visual novel. Shima's starting up an LP if you're interested though.
