@Wipqozn To be honest, I don't need to be a room owner. I'm perfectly happy being a normal user.

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield Your point being? I never said I was going to promote you. I was talking about @GnomeSlice.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot so?

Michael Dunfield

Q: How did I end up in handcuffs?

I am unclear on exactly what has to happen for a guard to subdue me and place me in handcuffs. Entire SWAT teams with heavy armor, riot shields, and tasers, and large automatic weapons can have me surrounded, but I'm free to run around and shoot them at will. But sometimes a lone bank guard will ...

Q: How can I dominate my enemies?

I've put one point into the Mastermind's Dominator skill, which says it can be used to intimidate non-special enemies. However, I'm not sure exactly how to make this work. Last time I tried it on a bank guard (before any alarms had been raised) by coming up to him with my gun out and smacking the...

16:23

@OrigamiRobot Oh that was a fishing reference? I thought... nevermind.

Michael Dunfield

Nice memory though

Wipqozn

@Lazers haha, I remember when that happened to @RonanForman.

Sterno

@Lazers I'm thinking there's got to be a better title for this

Dominate + handcuffs = so much potential

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn It's happened multiple times, one of the hazards of stealth.

Wipqozn

@Sterno "I've got this friend who likes BDSM"

OrigamiRobot

16:25

@Sterno Too bad it's already been asked. :(

fredley

@Sterno BDSM of the nose?

OrigamiRobot

I would have asked a long time ago.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I'm wondering if it makes more sense to re-title that question than to try to get another answer that that expands upon the mechanics of how to do it.

Since the title fits, but the actual question he's asking is really just "can I dominate multiple people?"

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno I think so, yes.

Actually I think the old question should be closed as a dupe of the new.

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot That's not how it's supposed to work, is it?

You could edit the old one and improve it

OrigamiRobot

16:31

Not normally.

Sterno

I'm cool with them being totally separate. I mainly care about how, as in user-interface speaking", I actually make it happen

Ronan Forman

@kalina Using my misfortune as an example, for shame

Michael Dunfield

But he did ask it first.

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield Then it would make the existing answer bad.

Sterno

He cared if you could do it to multiple people

Michael Dunfield

16:31

@OrigamiRobot Hm..

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield Not normally, but if the second question is vastly superior exceptions can be made.

Sterno

I don't think we need a one-stop shopping question for how dominate works in all situations.

Wipqozn

@Sterno I concur.

Sterno

Otherwise merge 'em

Wipqozn

I think that would get too broad.

WAy too broad.

OrigamiRobot

16:32

I think both questions are 100% relevant to each other and that makes it stupid to have them separate.

@Wipqozn If I want to know how Dominator works, I shouldn't have to go to multiple questions. The scope is plenty narrow for a single question.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I re-titled his, since I think the new title fits what he's asking better. That said, if we want a single spot for it, I think a merge is better than duping

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Merging will just bring the answer from one to the other.

Sterno

But, even taking out the fact I asked it and am involved, I'd think they make more sense to keep separate.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno I think that makes the least sense.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Then I guess that's bad too. Neither question as it stands is the broad question you seem to want.

Wipqozn

16:35

They're seperate questions.

HAven't we had this discussion before?

Sterno

@Wipqozn Yes, but none of us ever agree.

fbueckert

@Sterno Which means we hash it out!

Again!

Wipqozn

It may have been nice if the original user asked a more all encompassing question, but they didn't.

We shouldn't retroactively change the question just becaue it came first.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn They're separate questions that don't need to be separate.

Sterno

@kalina I like how both your answers mock @RonanForman for getting caught.

Wipqozn

16:36

@OrigamiRobot They might be, but if we do close them we should close the more narrow one of the more general one.

I would be fine with closing the older question as a duplicate of the new one, but retroactively changing the older question is silly.

OrigamiRobot

Keeping them separate just makes it harder for users to get to information that is relevant for either.

@Wipqozn I agree.

Wipqozn

Although I also agree with @Sterno that we should avoid making too broad this question captures every single situation type questions.

There are advantages, but also drawbacks.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn It's a single skill. That's not a broad question.

fredley

this image has one, and only one pixel of each colour in the RGB colour space

Wipqozn

The biggest drawback being that if I have a situation which isn't covered in the huge ass question then getting an updated answer be really, eally difficult.

Yeaaaah, no.

@RedRiderX Is that unusual?

RedRiderX

16:42

@MichaelDunfield Well don't we all?

Sterno

@Wipqozn Very much this. It's the problem we usually run into.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn cf gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/37365/… and this line in the accepted answer "though the details of this depend on the specific item and installed DLCs".

kalina

@RonanForman gotta draw upon experience!

Sterno

We shouldn't be trying to collapse questions together at the expense of getting answers.

(which may or may not be the case here)

Wipqozn

@Sterno It's especially troubling for new users, who really can't do anything except for ask a qustion.

OrigamiRobot

16:43

@Wipqozn The fact that you can't dominate more than one enemy at a time is a restriction on Dominator which means it's already in the scope of Sterno's question. We're not making it any broader.

kalina

@RonanForman also I found this absolutely hilarious and was unaware it was possible until it happened to you

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Yes, which is why I'd be fine with closing in this specific case.

Michael Dunfield

Gamers are really dumb

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn If someone wanted to ask about converting enemies, that would be a separate question. Even though Dominator/Joker are extremely closely related and I think it could work as one question, that's a case of forcing two questions together.

Ben Brocka

@MichaelDunfield People*

OrigamiRobot

16:46

I have voted to close the old one.

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka especially gamers

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I don''t think these two questions are the same

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan I'm not seeing the relevance. I assume it's staring me right in the face.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina They aren't. I'm saying they could be covered by one question, but there would be no reason to force them to be.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot and as such I'm voting to close you as not a real human boy

Jason Berkan

16:47

@Wipqozn It's a broad question, where the answer hints that there are relevant specific details, yet all "lost item" questions get duped to this one.

Michael Dunfield

Do these people honestly have nothing better to do, haha.

kalina

We should just have one "how does the domination/joker ability work?" question though imo

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan Ah, okay.

In other news, I'm trying to decide on a secondary weapon.

For my M308.

badp

@MichaelDunfield LARGE ANIMAL GAMES

Michael Dunfield

@badp Hah I have no idea what that one is

kalina

16:48

@Wipqozn situational, silenced pistol for stealth, shotgun for escapes

that's what I do anyway

shotgun for rats day 1, etc as well

Michael Dunfield

It must be a thing though

fredley

@MichaelDunfield Stay outta my shed

Wipqozn

@kalina For stealth I use CAR-4 + Silence Pistol (may eventually swich to Compact-5 once I get Bare Essentials mod)

@kalina Have you ever used the Para?

kalina

the para?

Wipqozn

It's an SMG.

kalina

16:50

no

Wipqozn

I'm assuming not, then.

kalina

I specifically use:

full stealth: silenced car-4, silenced pistol

Wipqozn

Right now I'm deciding between Bronoc, Loco, Para and Stryk.

kalina

partial stealth: silenced m308, silenced pistol

Wipqozn

I already bought the bronco. Might just buy the loco and stryk too.

Just figure out which I like most.

kalina

16:51

"going in heavy": m308 or car-4, locomotive 12g

the locomotive 12g is a nice gun

Wipqozn

Yeah, I think I'll just toss down the money for the loco and styk.

Try them both out.

3ventic

Stealth: Stealth barreled car-4, silenced pistol w/ light
Balls to the walls: double barreled shotgun, para submachinegun

kalina

basically any non-special you shoot will die, regardless of headshots, and specials will die from a headshot (except bulldozer)

3ventic

There's nothing in between

kalina

the primary double barreled shotgun is the most powerful weapon in the game

3ventic

16:52

Bulldozers like double barreled

Wipqozn

There, bought both.

kalina

@3ventic are you an enforcer?

badp

Load up Google Play Music with videogame music. Listen to it for days. Try the Music All Access plan. Click "I'm feeling lucky." Playlist is actually filled with videogame music. Wee

TYG or something?

3ventic

@kalina Ghost

badp

16:53

@BenBrocka although it's only AAA titles' videogame music. Nothing too obscure like Spotify has.

3ventic

@Wipqozn No, I've been playing singleplayer for the last week

Wipqozn

@3ventic Ah, okay.

Sterno

I find the AK surprisingly accurate and easy to get headshots with

Tempted to try the m308, but it's a lot of money

3ventic

@Sterno I find it only useful in Rats day 3..

kalina

I find once you silence the car-4, it takes too many bullets to kill anything

Sterno

16:54

Really I'd like to keep the same feel but with more damage

kalina

you can hit anything anywhere in visual range

it just takes too many bullets to take them down

Michael Dunfield

@badp lifeformed.bandcamp.com/album/fastfall

kalina

@Sterno stick a scope on it, basically a sniper rifle

@Sterno @RonanForman uses one a lot afaik

Sterno

I tried out the secondary that's a shotgun but didn't like it

Wipqozn

@kalina HE does. It's a one shot kill on a headshot.

kalina

16:56

@Wipqozn oh yeah it will, pretty much on anything as well

Ben Brocka

@badp Googlge music all access actually has video game music?

kalina

I'm watching all the videos I recorded lastnight to find an example of domination

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn Anywhere unarmoured actually, mainly heads, but also anywhere on the less armoured guys.

Wipqozn

@kalina Any enemy in the game according to the wiki.

kalina

so I can update my answer to @Sterno's question

@Wipqozn I'm not sure it applies to bulldozers on overkill

Ronan Forman

16:57

@kalina I was going to suggest my one from firestarter...

kalina

@RonanForman I only have videos from the banks

Ben Brocka

When you say "AAA" do you mean amazingly forgettable CoD BF3 and whatever else, or stuff like Mega Man and Final Fantasy?

kalina

@RonanForman I have the start of our framing frame clear

but it halves my FPS

Ben Brocka

Because if you told me BF3 had no music I'm not sure I could tell you were lying or not

badp

@BenBrocka My playlist has: Assassin's Creed Revelations (starting point), Crysis 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Splinter Conviction, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Warhammer 40,000, Defiance, Batman: Arkham City, Mass Effect, Dead Space 3, The Sims 3, Mass Effect 2, ...

Ben Brocka

16:58

Yeah that sounds pretty terrible

kalina

@BenBrocka I have to say I'm quite impressed with the soundtrack in Payday 2

but it is my kind of music

Ronan Forman

@kalina I'll see how it affects me, then I might get you an example if I can.

badp

well I did put one song on repeat for a while

Ben Brocka

I want Final Fantasy, Mega Man, Kirby, WipeOut...

3ventic

Anyone want to play payday 2 with me? :)

Ronan Forman

16:59

@kalina It's great isn't it. I especially like how they managed to time the drops with the wave starts.

Michael Dunfield

@3ventic Me but I don't have it

Also I'm at work

kalina

@RonanForman stable 60 fps to jittery 15-45 fps plays havoc with stealthing

@RonanForman yeah I have the game music so loud

badp

@BenBrocka Well they sound pretty different from what I'm hearing and it might be they just didn't get matched, let me see if they show up when I search for them
