You don’t see too many Payday memes these days, but I’m here for them
honestly I modded the fuck out of my Payday 2 because I didn’t like how tanky enemies were on higher difficulties compared to how fragile the player is. I’m fine with being fragile (if anything I prefer it because it’s realistic), but if I shoot someone in the face with a 12 gauge, I expect their face to not exist anymore, just like mine – whereas on anything higher than death wish, without modding, you might as well be throwing pocket sand at them while they down you with maybe 1 or 2 shots.
Fortunately, the entire game being a house of cards built on LUA makes modding it super easy. Even works online, whether you’re the host or not, though some effects from mods will only work if you’re the host.
It’s weird and unrealistic to fight armies, but I like when a game gives you more enemies, or more aggressive enemies, rather than bullet sponges. One hit kills are just so satisfying. Hitting an enemy perfectly in the head with a sniper rifle and getting nothing, then needing to rechamber, makes you wonder why you get up in the morning.
Precisely. Full Speed Swarm with some damage mods made the game so much better. Guns felt like guns but ho boy you were not at a loss of things to kill and it still was not easy
Yes, I need to get good.
No, I will not get good.
Hey, how do you take a screenshot with the right subtitle, or do you not worry about it?
What I mean is, sometimes the subtitles are a bit behind or ahead of the video.
I use frame advance in VLC by using the ‘E’ key to seek a frame or just pause it whenever. Technically frame advance can hold on the same subtitle indefinitely, so I consider it in-bounds as long as 1) the subtitle pack I downloaded originally has it within that range (or, in the only case when the pack clearly missed a line, the range I create), and 2) the subtitle pack isn’t very obviously flawed (like starting a voice line multiple seconds before it’s actually said, continuing after another character is already speaking, or continuing after a very long silence; I’ve only encountered the first problem so far, and only once). Typically I try to get it as close to the voiceline as possible provided the shot isn’t a blurry mess.
TL;DR: the vibes™
If you specifically are using some other subtitle pack whose timings are really messed up, you should be able to go into the human-readable file and change it.
Thank you, that’s a big help. I’ve been wondering how that worked!
In VLC theres also a setting to increase/decrease the subtitle delay. Theres a set of hotkeys to move it up/down by 50ms at a time, or you can go into the settings and enter a custom valur. Sometimes this doesnt work for a whole movie as the subtitles will just keep getting more and more out of sync, but if theyre just behind or ahead by a little bit consistently, then its a huge sanity saver.
That’s handy, thank you.
