Today on Payday I learned that lag:
Can make cops stop from spawning, shooting and moving
Can make you invisible to Cloakers
Can fuck up the Watchdogs truck door

Fallout 3 would've been a much better game if it didn't have an engine with the stability of a Pinto getting rear ended by a freight train.

Is it really a bad thing if Fallout 3 is "not a Fallout game"?
Just because a game isn't a faithful reproduction of its predecessors doesn't mean it can't be as good as or better than them.

Goonhud is pretty nice.
Spoiler The bodies block bullets/explosives but not movement, so you can surf inside piles of corpses without being hit by cops unless they're also inside the corpses.

Okay so I'm probably really fucking late with this realization but at the end of Portal 2, when Wheatley and the Space Core are floating adrift in space, the Space Core is floating around Wheatley.

I wear a watch because it's more convenient for briefly checking the time (especially when sitting, as pulling out a phone can be tricky).
It also looks nifty I guess

The effectiveness of armor can be measured in a few different ways:
Total effective health: How much damage you can take before going down, presuming your armor never regenerates. Time until death: How long it takes to die when taking constant damage. Armor health: How much damage it takes to lose your armor. Time until armor loss: How long it takes to lose your armor when taking constant damage.
Total effective health is most relevant if you're caught in the open. Time until death is important for making big sprints. Armor health and time until armor loss are key if you're fighting in cover.
Armors with better speed let you cover more distance in the same time, but lose armor health and take fewer hits. This means that a suit will probably allow you to run farther out of cover, since you're moving more quickly.
Another key factor is dodge, which provides (on average) a reduction in damage you take. This applies to both armor and health.
Having higher armor health dramatically improves your overall survivability if you can take cover as needed. For example, the ICTV lets you take several shotgun blasts, whilst the suit goes down in one. This means you can lay down more fire before having to break off, which is why I act like a complete idiot with my shotgunforcer build and run around spamming the Raven (without dying all THAT often).
Suppose you have 100 health (because I said so) and a suit. With the right skills and whilst sprinting, you dodge 49% of shots that would have hit you. This effectively doubles your health (on average, of course).
Meanwhile, the ICTV does nothing to your effective health after your armor is gone. On the other hand, it offers a gigantic load of armor, significantly improving your effective health.
SO
The CTV is problematic because it slows you significantly and makes you very unlikely to dodge anything. It has its niches- Rats day 1, for example, would probably be fine with it. However, the lower speed means you can't get as far before dying, which makes it inadvisable for heists where you need to dive through cops. An HBV or even a suit would be more effective for that purpose.
On the other hand, if you can kill the cops fast enough, armor is preferable over speed- you can just kill them before they can deal enough damage to break your armor. Hence the power of the ICTV.
Personally, I use the HBV when not spec'd as Enforcer and the ICTV when I am.
tl;dr CTV isn't always very good but sometimes is anyways

I wish Rosalina would've gone full Doctor Manhattan during her final smash
Disappearing, then reappearing in the background large enough to fill the entire screen with her face and then throwing the stage into the sun or something
Of course it'd be overpowered but fuck she's the Mother of Galaxies

That is the saddest marketing strat ever
Theyre holding the franchise hostage until people buy their botched game
